Acquiring the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art, a True Transmission Rank Skill

"By imperial decree, Chen Yuanfeng has been embezzling public funds, indulging his nephews and sons in oppressing the common people, and colluding with the White Lotus Society. Today, his estate will be confiscated, and he will be executed after the autumn!"

A eunuch supervisor within the imperial palace, clad in a red robe, spoke from a position of authority, his gaze cold as he announced the decree.

Chen Yuanfeng, around fifty years old with streaks of gray in his hair, knelt below, stunned.

Beside him, his family members trembled with fear.

"You eunuch scoundrels, fabricating accusations at will! I demand to see the Emperor!"

"That has nothing to do with us," the eunuch replied coldly.

"Lord Chen, are you not going to accept the decree?"

To have your entire family exterminated and then be asked to receive an imperial edict, the Chen family's hearts turned to ice.

"I, Chen Yuanfeng, have been diligent and upright, never oppressing the people. Let alone colluding with the White Lotus Society, why would His Majesty believe slanderous words..."

Chen Yuanfeng stumbled and sat on the ground, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"This is baseless! You eunuch dogs and beasts, you are worse than animals! You will surely have no descendants!" Chen Yuanfeng glared at the people from the East Factory.

"No need for you to worry, sir. We of the East Factory have long since had no descendants. Guards, go in and search. I want to see if this Lord Chen is as incorruptible as you claim!" the red-robed eunuch sneered.

"Wang Dangtou, there's no need to humiliate Lord Chen during this confiscation and extermination."

A tall figure from the Imperial Guard, wearing a Flying Fish Robe and a Spring Embroidered Saber at his waist, spoke calmly.

His name was Zhou Chu, a Centurion of the Imperial Guard, and the person responsible for apprehending Chen Yuanfeng's family.

Besides him, there were several other Centurions like Su Changqing who had also received this mission.

"We are all serving the Emperor. Zhou Chu, is your Imperial Guard truly just and incorruptible? If you delay the proceedings, you will not be able to bear the consequences," Wang Dangtou glanced at him before saying with a cold laugh.

"Arrest them." Zhou Chu took a deep breath.

The eunuchs of the East Factory and the Imperial Guards surged forward, throwing the Ministry of Revenue official's mansion into chaos. Some house guards resisted, only to have their limbs broken, leaving them crying out in agony on the ground.

Shouts of abuse and wails of pain echoed throughout the mansion.

Chen Yuanfeng, kneeling on the ground, wept bitterly, cursing the eunuchs and calling the Imperial Guards inhuman. Even Zhou Chu, who had spoken up to help him earlier, was not spared his insults.

Su Changqing stood by Zhou Chu's side, watching silently.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes. When you are in a position, you fulfill its duties.

Who can truly distinguish between purity and corruption in this world?

The Minister of Revenue, the upright official Chen, might have been clean and incorruptible, but his nephews and sons might not have been.

The Imperial Guard had already thoroughly investigated. Merely registered, the Chen family owned two thousand eight hundred mu of land, with an additional five thousand two hundred mu of hidden fertile land.

They also owned three salt shops, three iron shops, and three restaurants within Chang'an City each.

Chen Yuanfeng occupied so much fertile land. He might not have been the direct perpetrator, but he was the beneficiary.

Did the profits from these fertile lands and shops not flow into Chen Yuanfeng's pockets?

Su Changqing watched in silence, shaking his head gently. This matter had nothing to do with him.

Just then, his ears twitched, and his brows furrowed.

Having consumed the Muscle Tendon Pill, his hearing was exceptionally sharp. He heard movement outside, faintly recognizing the sounds of a man and a woman.

"Chen Yuanfeng has a daughter named Chen Yu'er. She is not here, so she must have gone elsewhere."

Su Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly. He turned and left directly. His objective, from beginning to end, was solely the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art.

Along the way, there were countless rock gardens and scenery, even three-hundred-year-old Arhat pines, testifying to the Chen family's immense wealth.

Soon, Su Changqing arrived at the Chen family's main residence. He scanned the surroundings with a focused gaze; it was deserted. He entered the house directly.

With a flick of his toes, he moved with the Four Seasons Cloud Falling Steps, easily leaping onto the roof beams. He searched everywhere from above.

Nothing.

The roof beams were made of fine poplar wood and were spotless, indicating the Chen family had dedicated staff for cleaning.

Unfortunately, it was all laid bare. Where could the secret manual for the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art be?

"No, according to the Life Script, if it says it's on the beam, then it must be there," Su Changqing's eyes narrowed.

It must be there, but it was likely hidden very secretly, otherwise, the Chen family's cleaning staff would have discovered it long ago.

"If there's something that wouldn't be touched, it would only be the main beam!"

Su Changqing made up his mind. He extended both hands, encircling the massive main beam, his aura vibrating.

He poured his True Qi into it, and a terrifying Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound reverberated in all directions.

He actually tore the main beam from the roof of the house with his bare hands.

Then, he threw the massive main beam onto the ground.

With a bang, the immense impact caused the entire house to tilt slightly.

Having lost its main beam, the house was about to collapse.

"Where is it?" Su Changqing scanned the main beam before him, and after a moment, he suddenly noticed something amiss.

At the very top of the main beam, on the severed wooden end, were carved dense, small characters.

Indestructible Vajra, Everlasting Life, Supreme Martial Dao, Blood Essence Returns to the Void, Suppress the Qi Sea...

Note: This cultivation technique seizes the creation of heaven and earth. It can only be used five times in a lifetime; the sixth use will result in severed meridians, bleeding from all seven orifices, and death...

"Hahaha, so this item was imprinted on the very top of the wooden beam. No wonder I couldn't find it."

If there was anyone in this world who would play such a trick on people, it would have to be the Invincible Brat, Gu Santong.

Su Changqing couldn't help but chuckle. He drew his Frost Snow Saber, and a blade aura pierced through the air, directly slicing the wooden beam in half.

The blade aura was sharp, and the wooden beam was cut in two.

A round disc resembling a wooden wheel fell into Su Changqing's hand.

"It's inconvenient to carry. I need to leave this place quickly. Even if the mission fails, obtaining this item makes this trip worthwhile."

Su Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly. He placed the wooden disk inscribed with the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art into his embrace and quickly walked towards the exit.

Merit points and promotions meant nothing to him. The opportunities within his Life Script were what he truly needed to seize.

Meanwhile, outside, two figures, a man and a woman, suddenly leaped up, soaring over the high wall and into the courtyard.

"Lord Chen, quickly escape this place with me and Yu'er!"

The man had a jade-like face with sharp features, making him exceptionally handsome. He protected Chen Yuanfeng's side, surveying their surroundings.

Chen Yuanfeng stood frozen in place, never expecting that the martial art he disliked the most would be the one to save him in the end.

Beside him was a woman in a flowing purple dress, her exquisite features captivating.

"I knew it. Chen Yuanfeng has a daughter, Chen Yu'er. I heard she loved practicing martial arts from a young age and was kicked out of the house," Wang Dangtou shouted coldly.

"Kill them! Leave no one alive!"

Over a dozen eunuchs flanking Wang Dangtou grinned menacingly and surrounded them.

The young man's strength was extraordinary, and the Dragon Sword in his hand emitted a chilling radiance, cutting through the sky.

The sword energy was piercing, and his swift swordplay severed throats. Ordinary East Factory Body Refinement eunuchs were no match for him; they were decapitated within a single exchange, their blood staining the ground.

It was an almost one-sided slaughter, with one man and one sword overwhelming the entire field.

"Mangshan Sword Art!" Zhou Chu's expression changed drastically, filled with dread.

"Rumor has it that Chen Yu'er apprenticed under the Mangshan sect. Could this young man be Mo Longyan, the true successor of the Mangshan sword techniques!"

"He's at True Qi level four, and his swift swordplay is renowned throughout the martial arts world. He's hailed as the foremost among Mangshan's second generation!"

Some East Factory guards exclaimed in fear.

"You eunuch dogs do have some knowledge," Mo Longyan sneered upon hearing this, his swift swordplay flashing with cold light, growing ever more fierce.

More East Factory guards and Imperial Guards died under his sword, their blood staining his white robe.
