Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 22

Ch 22: Five Poison Sect Holy Maiden

“Young Master, please wait a moment.”

“What is it?”

Jiang Chen asked directly.

She handed Jiang Chen something that looked like an invitation: “Our Gathering Treasure Pavilion will hold an auction in three days. You can participate with this invitation at that time.”

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Jiang Chen nodded, put it away, and strode away from here, returning to his courtyard.

This time going to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion is to see if there is anything he needs inside.

From what he can see now, with his current strength, the top ten floors of the Gathering Treasure Pavilion do not have anything that can help him.

“The things produced by the System are still better. It seems it’s time to take on a few missions and get some Sin Points.”

Missions can be accepted in the Jinyiwei, and Merit Points can be obtained after completion.

The amount of Merit Points is often directly linked to the strength of the mission target.

This gave many bandits who were not that strong but committed many evils a glimmer of hope.

Because the Merit Points that can be obtained by hunting them are too few, the powerful Jinyiwei are too lazy to bother killing them, and the weak Jinyiwei do not have time to kill them.

Pressing down the thoughts in his heart, Jiang Chen swallowed a Small Revitalizing Pill and began to cultivate the two cultivation methods he obtained today, Golden Soul Silver Needles and Divine Travel, Hundred Changes.

……

Outside the Capital City, at the top of a majestic mountain peak, stood a woman wearing a black robe.

Her figure swayed gently in the breeze, like a lonely black lotus, quietly watching the bustling Capital City.

Due to the outbreak of Princess Yuling’s disappearance case, the entire Capital City seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze.

In order to find the missing princess, the Imperial Court sent out a large number of elite soldiers and powerful generals to search for clues everywhere.

At the same time, in order to prevent possible enemy attacks or internal strife, there was at least one Dharma Aspect Expert stationed on each city wall of the Capital City. Their auras were as steady as mountains, inspiring awe.

Under such tight defense, it can be said that not even a fly could easily fly out of the Capital City.

However, under such tight defense, someone broke this tranquility.

A person covered in blood and ragged clothes stumbled into the black-robed woman’s sight.

His steps were staggering, as if every step exhausted all his strength.

If someone recognized him, they would exclaim in surprise, because this person was the eldest son of Duke Wang, Wang Sinian.

Wang Sinian’s status in the Great Ming was extremely noble.

He was not only the only son of Duke Wang, but also an important minister in the Imperial Court, deeply valued by the Emperor.

However, at this moment, he was like a stray dog, covered in wounds and in a terrible state.

“Holy Maiden! Our plan has been exposed.”

Wang Sinian suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice with a hint of despair, his eyes covered with bloodshot eyes like a spider web, looking particularly haggard.

The woman standing in front of him was extremely enchanting, her skin was as delicate as creamy, her red lips were bright and dripping, but her eyes were cold and deep, and her whole body exuded a palpitating dangerous aura.

At this moment, she was slightly frowning, and her soul-stirring eyes were full of incomprehension.

“How is that possible? This plan is seamless. Could it be that there was a flaw in that link?”

Wang Sinian trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his emotions.

After a while, he slowly opened his mouth, his voice with a hint of hesitation and struggle: “No, every step we took was strictly in accordance with your instructions, and there were no mistakes. But, it was a Jinyiwei, he, he…”

Speaking of this, Wang Sinian suddenly stopped, and a tangled look appeared on his face. Obviously, he was thinking about whether he should tell the next thing.

“What’s wrong with him? Don’t play dumb with me.”

Listening to the woman’s cold voice, Wang Sinian immediately said: “He saw through your plan and found Princess Yuling directly in Concubine Mei’s palace.”

“What!”

The woman was furious, and a murderous aura spread out, even the stubborn rocks on the side cracked.

“Holy Maiden, please forgive me!”

Wang Sinian quickly lowered his head, his voice with a hint of fear.

“What’s his name?”

The woman gritted her silver teeth, every word seemed to be squeezed out of her teeth, her eyes flashed with coldness, making people shudder.

“His name is Jiang Chen!”

Wang Sinian replied, his voice a little hoarse, as if trying to suppress the fear and regret in his heart.

“Jiang Chen! Very good, I remember him.”

The woman’s voice was low, and her eyes revealed a fierce look, as if she wanted to deeply engrave this name in her heart, so that she could take revenge in the future.

Wang Sinian looked at the Holy Maiden’s eyes, his heart was even more frightened, and he asked in a trembling voice: “Holy Maiden, what should we do next?”

The Holy Maiden was silent for a while, then slowly raised her head, looking at Wang Sinian with burning eyes: “Your whole family has been arrested?”

Wang Sinian nodded painfully: “Yes, Holy Maiden. It was my father who used the Great Teleportation Talisman to send me out.”

“What! Great Teleportation Talisman? You idiot!”

The Five Poison Sect Holy Maiden’s face changed drastically. Under the shock and anger, her figure swayed, and she flew towards the sky like a light swallow.

However, although her speed was fast, she still failed to escape the impending crisis.

Just as she had just risen into the air, a giant palm that covered the sky slowly condensed in mid-air. The giant palm was extremely large, as if it could cover the entire world, and even the starlight in the sky was blocked by it.

On the giant palm, a faint golden light flowed, revealing a supreme and majestic aura, inspiring awe.

“Five Poison Sect? How interesting, daring to set your sights on me, you have great courage.”

In the sky, a majestic and deep voice echoed, the voice seemed to come from above the nine heavens, and seemed to come from below the nine netherworlds, full of endless majesty.

Hearing this voice, the Five Poison Sect’s Holy Maiden was shocked. With her strength, she could not compete with the Ming Emperor at all, and could only try her best to escape, striving for a glimmer of hope.

So, she immediately took out a palm-sized, jet-black scorpion from the Storage Ring on her hand.

The scorpion exuded a strong poisonous gas, looking extremely terrifying.

The Holy Maiden swallowed it into her stomach without hesitation. Suddenly, a powerful force erupted from her body, and her aura soared. As if at this moment, she was no longer human, but had turned into a terrifying poisonous beast.
