Jingchan Palace

Xiao Sanchuan led the imperial estate's servants away quickly, hurrying and not daring to delay for even a moment.

Compared to the small Corpse Seamstress Wen Qingkong, the mastermind behind taking the mother and daughter was far more terrifying and worthy of vigilance.

Wen Qingkong got up, watched Xiao Sanchuan gradually disappear from sight, and whistled at Little Nine.

Little Nine flapped its wings and flew out of the second-floor window, following Xiao Sanchuan all the way.

Although he had tricked Xiao Sanchuan away with a lie for now, it would be difficult to drag things out for long.

Once that Eunuch Jia had prepared for a while and found no movement, he would definitely figure it out.

Wen Qingkong had one advantage, and that was that he never treated others as fools.

The most effective way to solve the problem once and for all right now was undoubtedly to kill Eunuch Jia.

According to Zhao Xuan's dying vision, Eunuch Jia himself was not to be feared, the only thing to consider was Eunuch Jia's adoptive father, Jia Jin, the ninth leader of the Black Cloaks.

As a special forces agency directly under the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, the power of the Black Cloaks was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

If Jia Jin used his power, Wen Qingkong would find it difficult to guarantee his safe retreat.

After a little thought, Wen Qingkong came up with a plan.

If he wanted to extricate himself, he first had to muddy the waters so that Jia Jin's attention would not remain on him.

Wen Qingkong thought of the map that Zhao Xuan was responsible for escorting.

That map was an incomplete one. When Zhao Xuan picked it up from Yan Luohua's side, he had seen the three characters "Jingchan Palace" vaguely on the map.

What kind of place was Jingchan Palace?

Wen Qingkong's original body was just an ordinary commoner, and he was not clear about these matters of the martial world.

He had to find someone to ask and inquire.

However, in order not to reveal any traces, Wen Qingkong had to take some roundabout methods to inquire about this matter.

Wen Qingkong brought Li Lan'er and her daughter back from Sewing Corpse Chamber Number One.

Today's sudden accident made him vigilant.

At the same time, no one had ever managed this row of Corpse Seamstress Workshops, except for the Ministry of Justice locking the main door.

After this lesson, Wen Qingkong decided to dig a tunnel leading directly to the Sewing Corpse Chamber Number Eight next door. If he was not at home and there was any tricky situation, Li Lan'er and her daughter could go directly through the tunnel to Sewing Corpse Chamber Number Eight to mislead others.

No sooner said than done, Wen Qingkong had the entrance to the tunnel set up under the cold bed specially used for placing corpses, and then started digging.

This went on until the evening.

After Wen Qingkong and the others had dinner, he asked Li Lan'er and her daughter to blow out the candles and rest. Wen Qingkong himself covered his face with a mask, and taking advantage of the dark night, he rushed out of Corpse Seamstress House Number Nine and went straight to the Three Rivers Gang, an underground underworld force in the Capital City.

The Three Rivers Gang belonged to an underworld force in the Capital City that was not as good as the best but better than the worst. It was mainly composed of stevedores and shipwrights from the pier outside Yujing City.

This Yujing City was located in the Tianyuan area of ​​the Divine Continent, surrounded by rivers. Because of its large population, the grain produced by Yujing City itself was not enough to eat. Therefore, in order to ensure the food security of Yujing City, in addition to building granaries in Yujing City, each year grain was transported from various states by river.

This required stevedores and shipwrights, and over time, the Three Rivers Gang was formed.

The sphere of influence of the Three Rivers Gang was mainly limited to the three streets near the pier.

Wen Qingkong sneaked into the Three Rivers Gang's main helm, holding his breath and concentrating. Since the Corpse Seamstress Workshop was disbanded, he had been much freer, often walking in the market, and learned many things.

For example, Yin Tiannan, the young leader of the Three Rivers Gang, was a spoiled young master who did all kinds of evil.

I don't know how many daughters from good families in the Capital City have been ruined by Yin Tiannan.

Wen Qingkong wanted to inquire about clues about Jingchan Palace, but he didn't want to leave a trace that would involve himself, so he chose Yin Tiannan as the object of his inquiry.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly.

Wen Qingkong heard the sound of teasing.

He followed the sound and sneaked over.

He saw a spacious and magnificent room, brightly lit, with flickering candlelight, one man and five women, scantily clad, flirting and making love, extremely lewd.

There were also two bodyguards guarding outside the room.

Wen Qingkong carefully investigated and found that the two bodyguards were not martial arts masters from their aura, and he could easily deal with them.

So he leaped out, stabbing straight with his fingers!

Before the two bodyguards could react, Wen Qingkong had already shattered their throats.

He supported each of them with both hands, slowly putting them down without making a sound.

Then he picked up six pebbles from the flowerbed at the door, pushed open the door, and flashed in.

Pa pa pa pa pa pa!

Six pebbles flew out like lightning.

The one man and five women in the room immediately froze, unable to make a sound.

This was the simplest acupressure technique, and anyone with a little internal strength could break through the acupoints.

Fortunately, Yin Tiannan was uneducated and had not yet entered the acquired realm of martial arts, and could not even break through this simplest acupoint.

Wen Qingkong chopped the five women on the back of their necks one by one, knocking them unconscious.

Then, under Yin Tiannan's terrified gaze, Wen Qingkong's eyes filled with a fierce aura.

"I only have one question for you."

"Answer me honestly, and I absolutely won't harm you in the slightest."

"But if you dare to lie to me or shout, I'll kill you immediately!"

Yin Tiannan nodded frantically.

Wen Qingkong released the pressure point, and Yin Tiannan indeed didn't shout.

"Hero, what do you want to know?"

"What kind of place is Jingchan Palace?"

"Huh?"

Yin Tiannan's eyes widened as he looked at Wen Qingkong in disbelief.

Wen Qingkong roared, "Explain it to me in detail!"

Yin Tiannan hurriedly and obediently said, "Jingchan Palace is the palace where Li Jingchan, the number one martial artist in the world three hundred years ago, resided. Back then, Li Jingchan defeated all rivals and the First Pavilion force he created dominated the martial world, and no one dared to provoke it."

"Even Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei had to give way."

"Later, Li Jingchan met Xia Rou, the most beautiful woman in the world, and fell in love with her uncontrollably, willing to dedicate everything to her."

"At that time, the First Pavilion had already threatened the rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Great Xia emperor at the time was doing everything in his power to eliminate the First Pavilion."

"During the battle between the court's experts and Li Jingchan, Li Jingchan was inexplicably poisoned, lost all his power, and was killed by the court's experts."

"After the decisive battle, the First Pavilion also disappeared like smoke. Later, people learned that Xia Rou was actually a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"She was the one who poisoned Li Jingchan."

"After the First Pavilion was destroyed, no one has ever been able to enter Jingchan Palace."

"It is rumored that Jingchan Palace contains Li Jingchan's peerless martial arts secret manual, the Six Paths Fist Sutra, as well as countless treasures, but Jingchan Palace is full of mechanisms. Even the best craftsman in the world cannot solve the mechanisms set up by Li Jingchan, even if they exhaust their life's efforts."

"To enter Jingchan Palace, one can only obtain the Jingchan Palace Mechanism Map, but it is said that the Jingchan Palace Mechanism Map has already been shattered in the scramble, and it is not known where it has gone."

Yin Tiannan told Wen Qingkong everything he knew about the rumors surrounding Jingchan Palace in one breath.

Wen Qingkong finally understood why Yin Tiannan was so surprised when he heard his question because Jingchan Palace had an extremely high status in the martial world, and any clue about Jingchan Palace was enough to shake the martial world.
