Imperial Prison Massacre

Pacification Office Thousand-Household Commander post, Lin Xiao sat there quietly, contemplating his next plan.

The first step of his plan had already succeeded.

He was now a Thousand-Household Commander of the Jinyiwei, albeit one relegated to a local post, but it still came with considerable power.

And his strength, while not top-tier, meant that barring the emergence of Great Grandmaster Realm or Shattered Realm experts, no one could really do anything to him.

Next was to secretly develop his own power.

But to develop power, he first needed sufficient financial resources.

And the Su Family, he absolutely had to take them down. He would send a signal to the Su Family later tonight, and their choice would be up to them.

If they couldn't be used by him, then he couldn't be blamed for being ruthless.

Just as Lin Xiao was thinking about his next plan, Chang Le cautiously hurried in.

"My lord."

"What is it?"

Lin Xiao asked indifferently.

"Reporting, my lord, Xue Shan and I have just uncovered a huge secret within the Imperial Prison."

Chang Le lowered his voice.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, "Speak, there's no one nearby."

Chang Le, assured by Lin Xiao, quickly said, "My lord, do you remember the Flower Plucking Bandit you captured the other day?"

"Of course, I remember."

"After Xue Shan and I dealt with Yue Qi, we happened to pass by his cell. He told me he could find the place where a Venerable One passed away."

"Venerable One?"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow. He had heard of the title Venerable One. It was said that in this martial world, only martial artists whose strength reached above the Shattered Realm could be called Venerable Ones.

The place where a Shattered Realm expert passed away was indeed quite attractive.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't pay too much attention to it. The reason why people yearned for Venerable Ones was because the cultivation techniques of Venerable Ones were very tempting.

But for him, cultivation techniques were the least needed.

Every cultivation technique he practiced now was no worse than the cultivation techniques practiced by Shattered Realm martial artists.

He had only been cultivating for a short time. If he was given enough time, reaching the Void Shattering Realm was not just a legend.

"Yes, my lord, Venerable Ones are known as the supreme experts in this world."

"The cultivation techniques they practice are all treasures. If one can obtain the cultivation technique of a Venerable One, even if they can't necessarily become a Venerable One in the future, breaking through to the Great Grandmaster Realm would not be a problem."

"I don't know if you have this idea, my lord. If you can obtain the Venerable One's technique, your strength will definitely reach a new level. Once you break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm, you can be enfeoffed as a marquis and appointed as a prime minister within the entire imperial court."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. This official doesn't care about the technique of a mere Shattered Realm martial artist. However, this official is somewhat interested in the Venerable One's savings."

"If I can obtain the Venerable One's savings, it will be much more helpful to me than the technique."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. Have him reveal the location where the Venerable One passed away. As for that Flower Plucking Bandit, there's no need to keep him alive."

"Yes, my lord."

Chang Le was a little puzzled. His lord was not interested in the technique of a Venerable One. If it were someone else, they would probably be so excited that they couldn't control themselves.

If the news spread to the martial world, it would probably cause a bloody storm, and even Great Grandmaster Realm experts would have to be mobilized.

But he was a smart man. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask them. He could only do as he was told.

But when Chang Le arrived at the Imperial Prison, his expression changed drastically.

All the jailers in the entire Imperial Prison had died tragically, and the Flower Plucking Bandit had disappeared.

Only Xue Shan was still alive.

"Xue Shan, Xue Shan."

Chang Le quickly stepped forward to check his breathing. After confirming that Xue Shan was still alive, he quickly helped him up and left.

"My lord, something bad has happened. A major change has occurred in the Imperial Prison. Xue Shan has been seriously injured, and the Flower Plucking Bandit has disappeared."

Inside the Pacification Office.

Chang Le ran back quickly, carrying the dying Xue Shan on his back.

Seeing Xue Shan's appearance, a cold look flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.

With a movement, he instantly appeared beside Chang Le, and the profound true energy in his body was transmitted into Xue Shan's body to treat his injuries.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but Lin Xiao had used up one-third of the true energy in his body before pulling the seriously injured Xue Shan back from the brink of death.

"Lord... my lord."

As soon as Xue Shan woke up, he weakly wanted to speak.

Lin Xiao said calmly, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"My lord, I don't know who did it. I only know that a man in black suddenly appeared in the Imperial Prison. Everyone he saw was killed. I couldn't even withstand one of his moves and was sent flying with one palm strike."

"I don't know what happened after that."

Xue Shan forced himself to finish recounting everything he knew.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Mm, no matter. That person was probably after the Flower Plucking Bandit. He must have learned about the Venerable's death location from him."

"My lord, who exactly is this person? To be able to sneak into the Jinyiwei Imperial Prison silently and leave no one alive, he's just too audacious."

Chang Le said, sucking in a cold breath.

Lin Xiao sneered. "Is there even a need to guess?"

"To be able to plant spies in the Imperial Prison and sneak in without alarming our Pacification Office, it must be someone from within the Pacification Office."

"It's just, who exactly this person is, I do have some guesses."

"My lord, could it be..."

Chang Le didn't dare to continue.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Pretty much those two. But we don't need to worry about this matter. Since the Imperial Prison was massacred, Pei Suifeng will naturally have to explain it to the higher-ups. As for the person who abducted the Flower Plucking Bandit, he'll eventually slip up."

"A Venerable's death location opening, I don't believe it will be so easy, without leaking any information at all."

"My lord is truly patient. If it were me, seeing something that originally belonged to me being snatched away, I definitely wouldn't be so calm."

Chang Le gave a thumbs up, praising him.

Hearing Chang Le's words, Xue Shan, despite being seriously injured, couldn't help but roll his eyes. "That's why you'll never become an adult."

Chang Le said unhappily, "Old Xue, you're like this, and you're still bickering with me?"

"Don't you know that I deserve half the credit for you getting your life back? When you recover, you have to repay me for this favor."

On the other side.

The news of the Imperial Prison being massacred had already spread throughout the entire Pacification Office.

Pacification Envoy Pei Suifeng was furious upon hearing the news.

"Outrageous! Absolutely audacious! They actually dared to massacre my Jinyiwei's Imperial Prison! Investigate! No matter who it is, once discovered, they will be killed without mercy!"

On the other side, Yan Lifeng also heard the news and couldn't help but frown.

"Who exactly is it that dares to be so bold as to massacre the entire Imperial Prison?"

"Someone come! Investigate the detailed situation of the Imperial Prison massacre for me. Pay attention, it must be detailed, without missing a single detail."

"Yes, sir!"

A Hundred-Household Commander accepted the order and left.

And the massacre of the Jinyiwei Imperial Prison, of course, couldn't be concealed, and it quickly spread throughout the Ding Province martial arts world.

Some Jianghu martial artists couldn't help but clap and cheer.

They never expected that the place known as hell would have such a day. It was truly satisfying.

Recently, major events have been occurring frequently in the Ding Province martial arts world. First, there was the rise of Xiaoqi Lin Xiao, who suppressed the entire Ding Province martial arts world with one man and one blade.

Then, the Jinyiwei Imperial Prison was massacred. It is estimated that after these events, the entire Ding Province will be difficult to stabilize.
