Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 394 - 231: Imperial Palace Armory

"Heal my wounds first...then I’ll answer you..." Yan Jiling said tremblingly.

"Do you have a choice?" Su Que said, as he infused the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into Yan Jiling’s body.

Immediately, the already severely injured Five Viscera of Yan Jiling, his wounds gaped wider, and the intense pain made him scream.

"I’ll talk... I’ll talk..." Yan Jiling pleaded.

"Don’t even think about lying, later I’ll ask the other two." Su Que withdrew the True Qi, warning:

"If you lie, you’ll be tortured by me again."

Yan Jiling feared that Su Que would infuse the True Qi again, causing excruciating pain in his Five Viscera, making life worse than death.

Thus, he answered Su Que’s questions.

’The Thirty Prince’s subordinates came looking for Dragon Essence...’

When Su Que saw these people, he already suspected they were looking for Dragon Essence, but now it was confirmed.

"Does the Thirty Prince have any other experts under his command, and how strong is he himself?" Su Que asked again.

"The Thirty Prince is at the Divine Realm with Twenty Gods, apart from me, there is also a martial artist at the Divine Realm with Fifteen Gods." Yan Jiling said.

Even though Su Que heard that the Martial Arts Cultivation of the Thirty Prince and his subordinates was weaker than his, he remained vigilant.

After all, he wasn’t sure if the Thirty Prince was hiding his strength, or if there were formidable martial arts experts behind him.

"Can you get me the Divine Intent Diagram?" Su Que asked.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiling was momentarily stunned, then said:

"The Divine Intent Diagram I’ve cultivated was read in the Imperial Palace Armory."

"The martial arts from the Imperial Palace Armory cannot be taken out."

"If it’s other martial arts mainly recorded in writing, they might still be transcribed elsewhere from memory."

"But the Divine Intent Diagram, even if memorized by a martial artist, cannot be depicted without learning the Painting Dao."

Upon hearing this, Su Que asked, "Who guards the Imperial Palace Armory?"

For nearly a thousand years, Liang Kingdom had collected almost all treasures of the world in the Imperial Palace.

The Cultivation Techniques of the Imperial Palace Armory, as well as the Four Great Auspicious Beasts, were what intrigued Su Que the most.

If he couldn’t figure out the strength of the Imperial Palace, he wouldn’t have thought of breaking in to plunder its treasures.

At this time, he inquired about the guard strength of the Imperial Palace Armory to first find out about the palace’s situation.

When his strength greatly increased in the future, and his cultivation speed slowed down, he would explore the palace.

"There are eight guardians inside; their strength is unknown because they haven’t made a move." Yan Jiling answered, "However, it is rumored that one among them is an extremely powerful martial arts expert."

"However, the Imperial Palace Armory is one of the most treasured places by successive Emperors of Liang Kingdom."

"Even if no one guards it, no one dares to covet the Imperial Palace Armory."

Boom!

Su Que had no other questions, so he punched and exploded Yan Jiling’s head, absorbing his Death Qi.

Then released the Myriad Poison True Qi to destroy the body without a trace.

Subsequently, Su Que moved beside Pei Xiong.

After being severely injured by Su Que’s Seven Injuries Fist, Pei Xiong had already fainted.

Su Que injected a thread of True Qi into him, waking him up, tortured him for a while, and then began to interrogate.

Like Yan Jiling, Pei Xiong couldn’t withstand the torture and disclosed all the information he knew.

After listening, Su Que found Pei Xiong’s words were not much different from Yan Jiling’s.

—Pei Xiong was under the Nineteen Prince, and the Nineteen Prince’s power and strength were not superior to his.

Pei Xiong didn’t have any additional information about the Imperial Palace Armory either.

Boom!

After asking questions, Su Que swung another punch, smashing Pei Xiong’s head.

Then absorbed the Death Qi, obliterating the body.

Finally, he approached Lian Jiuying.

He hoped to get more information from this eunuch.

Because, in the earlier encounter, he realized this eunuch was much more formidable than the other two.

And, since the eunuch resided in the Imperial Palace, he might know many secrets unknown to the other two.

After being injured by his Seven Injuries Fist, Lian Jiuying was also severely injured and unconscious.

The wooden mask he wore was askew when he fell to the ground.

Revealing a hairless, fair, and delicate face.

Looking at the eunuch’s delicate skin and smooth neck without an Adam’s apple, Su Que knew this eunuch had indeed reached a rather profound Realm of the Sunflower Manual.

Su Que infused a trace of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into the eunuch.

Lian Jiuying was startled awake, a pair of soft, feminine Phoenix Eyes looked at Su Que, showing deep fear.

"Don’t kill me! I can give you wealth! I can give you many things!"

Upon waking up, Lian Jiuying felt severely injured, utterly unable to resist.

In the face of death’s fear, he started babbling.

"Shut up, answer my question!" Su Que injected another stream of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into the eunuch, interrupting his words.

The True Qi swirled inside Lian Jiuying’s body, adding injury upon injury, with unbearable pain.

Lian Jiuying last endured such pain during castration.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but cry out.

Having cultivated the Sunflower Manual, he had no Adam’s apple, his voice was thin and sharp.

It sounded rather eerie.

"Don’t think of lying, if I ask others, and find out you lied, you’ll suffer." Su Que said indifferently.

He reckoned that though this eunuch’s martial arts wasn’t low, he likely held a high position in the Imperial Palace.

Pei Xiong and Yan Jiling were under the Prince; they probably recognized this eunuch.

And this eunuch, perhaps fearing recognition, wore the wooden mask.

When Lian Jiuying heard there were others, he instinctively glanced behind Su Que.

But he saw no one.

He didn’t know Pei Xiong and Yan Jiling had already been obliterated by Su Que.

He just assumed Su Que had put them aside, hence he didn’t see them.

"I’m not lying; as long as you let me go, I’ll tell you everything!" Lian Jiuying said:

"But don’t kill me; I’m more valuable to you alive!"

Lian Jiuying had previously done many things where he killed people after questioning them, hence he was extremely fearful now.

"I understand, just answer my questions first." Su Que said calmly.

This made Lian Jiuying somewhat believe that Su Que listened to him.

"What is your identity?" Su Que asked.

"I am Lian Jiuying." Lian Jiuying answered.

’Lian Jiuying?’ Su Que was stirred.

The Chief of the Imperial Household Lian Jiuying, although many hadn’t seen him, this name held significant fame in Martial Arts.

Su Que, back in the Central Plains, had also heard this name.

After all, Lian Jiuying was not only a top martial artist in Liang Country Martial Arts but also, according to rumors, the only person to have seen Emperor Jing of Liang in the ten-plus years since he secluded himself.

Seeing Su Que pause momentarily, Lian Jiuying’s eyes brightened, as if grabbing a lifeline:

"Friend! You must have heard of my name before!"

"Currently, with the Holy Majesty in seclusion, the Imperial Palace is essentially under my control."

"Friend, as long as you don’t kill me, I can take you into the palace and let you acquire the various treasures Liang Kingdom has collected from across the land and overseas for a millennium!"

"Secret Manuals, Exotic Soldiers, everything you could wish for!"

He spoke while staring into Su Que’s eyes. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Wearing a mask, Su Que’s expression was not visible.

But he wanted to guess Su Que’s thoughts based on his gaze after hearing his words.

"Do you have the Divine Intent Diagram in your possession now?" Su Que asked again.

Lian Jiuying heard and slumped down, saying: "I... don’t have it."

"My Divine Intent Diagram was obtained from the Imperial Palace Armory."

"The Divine Intent Diagram cannot be taken out of the Imperial Palace Armory."

His answer was like that of Pei Xiong and Yan Jiling.

Su Que sighed inwardly.

Thinking this eunuch, although high in power, still couldn’t bring the Divine Intent Diagram and Secret Manuals from the Imperial Palace Armory.

Lian Jiuying, after many years in the Imperial Palace, climbed from a small eunuch through incredible difficulty, and was adept at observing expressions and moods.

Seeing Su Que pause, he knew Su Que intended to kill him, and quickly said:

"Friend, I can’t bring things out from the Imperial Palace Armory, but I can take you into the Imperial Palace Armory!"
