Chapter 96

Qin Jiang walked into Susha Workshop. A middle-aged beautiful woman ran over with a panicked expression. "My lord! My lord! What is this for! The tribute from our Susha Workshop has never been less!"

As she spoke, she took out three hundred-tael silver notes and stuffed them into Qin Jiang's hand.

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow and put the silver notes away.

Looking around, the surrounding guests and girls also showed panicked expressions, and some timid ones even had eyes full of terror.

There was no help for it; although they didn't know Qin Jiang, there wasn't one of them who didn't know Long An's prestige.

That was the executioner of the Long family in the county city! A human butcher whose hands were stained with thousands of lives! In the entire Ning'an City, including the area within a hundred miles around Ning'an City, there was no one who didn't know the title of the human butcher Long An!

This was a figure who could truly stop children from crying at night! Even the County Magistrate of Linshui Town would never dare to provoke him!

Qin Jiang waved his hand with a smile. "It's fine, you guys continue, I'll go to the backyard to take a look."

As the words fell, the surrounding people didn't move. After looking at each other, they all sensibly chose to stay in place.

They wanted to, but that human butcher Long An was outside. Who knew when he would come in? If he happened to see them running around and was in a bad mood, and wanted to chop a few people to help with the excitement, wouldn't that be the end?

At least, they knew that the human butcher wouldn't personally kill an ordinary person who didn't resist.

"Old madam, you are the old madam, right?" Qin Jiang asked, looking at the middle-aged beautiful woman.

The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded. "Yes, yes, yes, I am the old madam of Susha Workshop."

"Come with me," Qin Jiang said. After speaking, he walked straight toward the backyard.

The middle-aged beautiful woman's eyes changed slightly. What did this mean? Could it be that this young master had a preference for married women? "What are you dawdling for?"

Qin Jiang's voice came. The middle-aged beautiful woman shuddered. Without thinking further, she followed quickly.

Arriving at the backyard, Qin Jiang looked at the courtyard. A well was located in the center, covered tightly by a stone circular plate. On the edge of the well mouth, a large locust tree was also planted.

He smiled and shook his head, walking to the well mouth. The old madam also followed quickly, her expression somewhat nervous.

"Old madam, does your Golden Jade Pavilion like digging wells so much? And you even have to plant a locust tree at the well mouth. Are you afraid that others won't know this is a place of the Golden Jade Pavilion?"

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the stone plate on the well mouth. "Your aesthetics are a bit lacking, it's too ugly."

The middle-aged beautiful woman's expression changed slightly. "My lord, what do you mean by this? This old woman doesn't understand."

While speaking, cold light appeared in her eyes, and her palm had already quietly rested on her waist, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time! Qin Jiang smiled and shook his head. An arm burning with black fire appeared behind him, directly gripping the beauty's neck and lifting her into mid-air.

The black fire burned, but it didn't scorch the beauty's body, but the scorching air still made her hair curl.

"Even the way of speaking is the same. Doesn't 'not understand' mean you understand but want to play dumb? Right? Don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for a Grandmaster-level figure to be an old madam here?"

"My... my lord, what... what do you want to do... I will say everything I know..." the beauty said with difficulty.

At the moment, she had absolutely no power to resist and could only pin her hopes on the fact that she still had some value.

Qin Jiang ignored her and reached out toward a wooden house in the courtyard, grasping into the empty air.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by the sound of wood chips exploding, the entire wooden house shattered directly into gray-white powder.

A middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes was wrapped in a transparent air barrier, just like a bug in amber, unable to move at all.

Even because the air was extremely compressed, even breathing became difficult, and his face gradually turned red.

"My... my lord! I... I will say everything you want to know... let go of my brother..."

The beauty said with difficulty. The scorching air around her made her unable to breathe, and every breath felt like she was swallowing hot oil.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang smiled. "So it's brother and sister. If it's not elder sister and younger brother, then I can rest assured. Let's go on the road together, neatly." As the words fell, terror appeared in the beauty's eyes. She never expected that this guy in front of her didn't intend to interrogate her at all! "Don't! Don't... don't do it! I beg you! Spare my life!" She endured the scorching terror in her chest and shouted.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to say anything!"

The middle-aged man's face turned red, appearing somewhat ferocious, and he looked at Qin Jiang with deep hatred in his eyes.

"Dog of the Xia Kingdom, the Huai Wang... the Huai Wang will avenge us! Sister, you are not allowed to say anything! Ah—!!! I'll say it! I'll say it! I'll say it!!"

The sound of bone cracking came from the middle-aged man's body, and his skin was squeezed until it cracked by the compressed air!

Qin Jiang's palm moved slightly, and the middle-aged man's figure moved closer. He removed the air barrier, and the other party's figure fell to the ground.

Behind him, the black-fire arm also placed the beauty next to the middle-aged man.

"Speak," Qin Jiang said.

The middle-aged man caught his breath, glanced at his sister with evasive eyes, and then raised his hand to point at the well mouth. "They are... right down there. The people captured, and the people of the Golden Jade Pavilion."

Qin Jiang narrowed his eyes and walked to the well mouth. Strange, why was there no aura at all? Was it because of this stone plate?

He placed his palm on the stone plate and waved it casually. The stone plate flew away directly and embedded heavily into the courtyard wall.

Immediately, an aura belonging to a Secret Martial Artist instantly dissipated.

Qin Jiang's eyes sharpened and he rushed into the well mouth directly.

After two seconds of silence, the ground around the well mouth deformed, instantly bulging into a huge bump!

Boom—!!! With a violent explosion, the brother and sister, the old madam, were blown away by the strong hurricane.

The brother and sister, who had fallen heavily to the ground, looked at each other and retreated with difficulty, wanting to escape.

But before they retreated very far, there was another huge roar, and the crumbling stones hit them, causing them to lose their ability to act directly.

The huge noise also attracted the attention of Long An outside. Without any hesitation, he rushed into Susha Workshop.

No matter what, Qin Jiang was already the confirmed disciple of the old family head, so he was the legitimate Fourth Master of the Long family!

Rushing into the backyard, a Green Fire Copper Furnace above his head gradually solidified, but before he could take action, he was forced back by a heat wave.

This is Green Fire?! Such strong Green Fire! He looked over with shock in his eyes. A figure appeared in the thick smoke and dust.

Woo—

A breeze blew, revealing the figure behind the smoke and dust.

He widened his eyes, full of disbelief, only to see Qin Jiang walking out slowly while carrying a person with one hand.

And what truly made his pupils shrink violently was that the person being carried was wearing a golden mask on his face! Jin Qi!

He saw that a symbol was imprinted on the forehead position of that mask, which meant "seven" in the ancient script of the Huai Kingdom! "Oh? Looking at Commander Long's appearance, it seems you recognize this person?" Qin Jiang's voice rang in his ears.

Upon hearing this, Long An straightened his figure. "Reporting to Fourth Master, I have dealt with him before. This is a high-level member of the Golden Jade Pavilion.

They are divided into Gold Face and Jade Face according to their strength. Jade Face represents high-level Secret Martial Artists of the seventh rank and above, while this Gold Face represents ordinary Secret Martial Artists below the seventh rank.

This Jin Qi is a fifth-rank Secret Martial Artist."

Speaking of this, his heart was shocked. Jin Qi, a fifth-rank Secret Martial Artist! He had fought against the other party before, and it was only a dozen moves, and he was defeated! If it weren't for the fact that the Third Master was present at the time, I'm afraid he would only have had a chance to escape if he burned his source power!

But what did he see now? This guy who could defeat him in just over a dozen moves was actually being carried by a young man with one hand!

Moreover, he rushed over the next moment after hearing the sound! The interval between them would definitely not exceed one breath! In other words, this person in front of him solved Jin Qi, who could defeat him in a short time, in less than one breath!

Just how strong is this Fourth Master?! (End of this chapter)
