Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 40

Ch 40: Xiao Lengyu

A golden needle shot towards her thigh, immediately causing her to fall to the ground.

“Chuā!”

“Chuā!”

“Chuā!”

……

Several golden needles shot out, and this woman’s limbs and acupoints were all directly crippled, making it impossible for her to cause any trouble.

Jiang Chen leaped down from the tall horse, his movements light and agile, landing steadily in front of Xiao Lengyu.

He looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty.

“Xiao Lengyu, the third disciple of Flower-Picking Bee Huang Fei, usually enjoys raping and killing handsome men, and then taking their Yin eggs to eat.” Jiang Chen’s voice was calm and clear, each word like a cold blade, deeply piercing into Xiao Lengyu’s heart.

Xiao Lengyu suddenly raised her head, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief, her eyes full of horror.

She never thought that her identity and actions would be so clearly revealed by a stranger.

Her body trembled slightly, as if it would collapse at any moment.

“How did you know?”

Xiao Lengyu’s voice trembled, with a hint of unwillingness.

Jiang Chen sneered and did not directly answer her question. His eyes became sharper, as if to see through Xiao Lengyu’s soul.

“Now I ask, and you answer. You will definitely regret it if you don’t answer correctly.”

After saying that, Jiang Chen took out a yellowed treasure map from the storage ring on his finger and slowly unfolded it.

The lines on this treasure map were intricate and complex, seemingly hiding endless secrets and wealth.

“What is this thing?”

Jiang Chen’s voice was low, each word like a hammer hitting Xiao Lengyu’s heart.

Xiao Lengyu turned her head away, obviously not wanting to answer the question.

Her heart was full of struggle. On the one hand, she didn’t want to reveal the secret of the treasure map, and on the other hand, she was afraid that Jiang Chen would use more cruel methods to force her to tell the truth.

She liked to torture others, but once she became the object of torture, she would be terrified.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t give her too much time to think.

His eyes became even colder, as if to freeze Xiao Lengyu in place.

“I’ll ask you one more time, what is this thing?”

Just as Xiao Lengyu was hesitating, Jiang Chen sighed softly, the sigh seeming to contain the exhaustion of his patience.

Immediately afterward, he raised his foot without hesitation and accurately stepped on Xiao Lengyu’s ankle.

“Ah!”

Xiao Lengyu let out a sharp and painful scream, her voice full of horror.

Her body trembled violently from the pain, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead like broken beads, soaking her clothes.

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk!”

Xiao Lengyu finally couldn’t bear the unbearable pain, and said with a sob in her voice, trembling, “This is what my master… Huang Fei got, saying it contains the treasure of Prince Cheng!”

Jiang Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He asked in a deep voice, “Prince Cheng? Which Prince Cheng?” In this complex world, countless stories of Prince Cheng flow in the long river of history, so Jiang Chen couldn’t be sure which Prince Cheng’s legacy the so-called “Prince Cheng’s treasure” was referring to.

“It’s Zhang Shicheng.”

Xiao Lengyu’s voice trembled slightly: “He had a very high reputation in the Jiangnan area back then, dominating one side and possessing countless wealth and soldiers. However, in the end, he still couldn’t escape the extermination of Great Ancestor Ming. Before being exterminated, he secretly hid all his wealth and treasures, intending for his descendants to be able to rise again one day with this thing. It is said that the treasure contains not only gold, silver, and jewelry, and rare medicinal materials, but also the Qiankun Lihuo Sword, which ranks forty-third on the Divine Weapon Ranking!”

“What?”

Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

He never expected to find such amazing news on Huang Fei.

The Qiankun Lihuo Sword, that is a legendary divine weapon with infinite power. To possess it means to possess the power to shake the martial world.

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, trying to calm his excited mood, and quickly asked, “Where are the other treasure maps? Do you have any clues?”

His eyes stared at Xiao Lengyu, as if to see through her.

“According to Huang Fei’s speculation, there should be a total of seven of these treasure maps.”

Xiao Lengyu’s voice trembled slightly: “Over the years, he has collected a total of four copies by his own means. The remaining three are in the hands of the Su family, who are famous in the capital, the Li family, who are the richest in Jiangnan, and Cao Liuguang, the leader of the Black Dragon Stronghold in the Taihang Mountains.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but click his tongue secretly upon hearing this.

These three forces have a pivotal position in both the martial world and the imperial court.

To seize the treasure map fragments from them would undoubtedly be extremely difficult.

“The Su family, the Li family, and the Taihang Mountains are not small forces!”

Jiang Chen exclaimed, “Could it be that the reason you came this time was to steal the map fragment from the Su family?”

Xiao Lengyu shook her head slightly, a look of helplessness on her face: “That’s only secondary. Actually, our main target this time is Su Baiwei, the daughter of the Su family. I heard that she is naturally beautiful, with a stunning appearance, like a fairy descending to earth. My master Huang Fei has fallen in love with her and wants to be intimate with her. Therefore, we decided to take the risk and come to the capital to give it a try.”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel a little disdain for Huang Fei’s greed and stupidity upon hearing this.

It would be one thing if it was for the treasure map fragments, but to risk so much for a woman’s beauty is simply not worth the loss.

“Really useless.”

Jiang Chen curled his lips, glanced at her with contempt, and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a burst of hoofbeats in the distance.

In despair, Xiao Lengyu seemed to see a glimmer of life. She immediately grabbed it like a life-saving straw, and shouted loudly with all her strength, “Help! Help! There are thieves committing murder!”

Her shouts echoed in the empty wilderness, attracting the attention of a few young people not far away.

They were riding fine horses, leisurely traveling, when they suddenly heard the cry for help. They immediately reined in their horses and looked sharply in this direction.

“Bold thieves! How dare you openly commit violence in broad daylight!”

The leading young man had delicate features and was full of vigor. He held a long sword, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, obviously ready to go.

His voice was loud and powerful, full of a sense of justice.
