In a secluded and deserted alley, Su Que set down Jing Sha.
He first searched Jing Sha, but found no Silver Coins, Secret Manuals, or Medicinal Formulas.
Thinking about it, it was only natural, as Jing Sha had been suddenly lured out by him and wouldn't have brought things with him.
After calming his mind, Su Que immediately slapped Jing Sha's shoulder with his hand.
A stream of Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi was transmitted into Jing Sha's body.
Jing Sha was still unconscious at this moment, unable to resist with his own Red Fiend Technique True Qi.
In just an instant, the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi shattered all the meridians in Jing Sha's limbs.
In extreme pain, Jing Sha shuddered and immediately awoke.
His pupils suddenly dilated. He intended to make a move, but his limbs ached so severely that he couldn't muster any strength.
"You are..."
Jing Sha was about to ask a question when Su Que pressed down on his head, interrupting him:
"If you don't want to die, answer my questions."
"What do you want to know?" Jing Sha asked, with a look of shock in his eyes, as he looked at Su Que, all while trying to guess his identity.
"Do you have the Red Fiend Technique Secret Manual?" Su Que asked.
If the Red Fiend Technique Secret Manual was available, it would save the trouble of forcing Jing Sha to reveal how to practice it.
"No," Jing Sha replied.
"Really?" Su Que's mind shifted, and he transmitted the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into Jing Sha's body.
Immediately, the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi wreaked havoc within Jing Sha's body.
Jing Sha only felt an unbearable itch inside his body, a feeling worse than death.
"Great... great hero, please... stop, there's... a Secret Manual!" Jing Sha, in great discomfort, was tearing up and sweating profusely, said tremblingly.
"Where?" Su Que retracted the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi.
Jing Sha gasped, "In my Training Room."
"Where is your Training Room?" Su Que asked.
"It's in the last courtyard of that mansion."
Bang!
Su Que knocked Jing Sha unconscious again, skillfully slung him over his shoulder, and sped through a few alleys.
Reaching the outer wall of the last courtyard of the mansion, he leapt over and jumped into the mansion.
Swoosh!
Su Que landed on the ground.
The two White Lotus Sect Members brewing medicine heard the commotion and stirred, intending to turn and look.
Su Que tossed Jing Sha off his shoulder to the side and his right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, his figure blurred and rushed towards the two White Lotus Sect Members.
Just as the two White Lotus Sect Members turned halfway, Su Que launched both fists, exerting the exceedingly fierce Heart-Damaging Technique Fist Force on their cheeks.
Bang!
Immediately, the heads of the two White Lotus Sect Members spun around once, and with a snap, they fell to the ground.
Su Que searched the bodies of the two White Lotus Sect Members and obtained over eighty taels.
Stuffing the Silver Coins into his bosom, Su Que moved swiftly to where Jing Sha lay, picked up his body, and searched the rooms of the courtyard.
There were three rooms in the courtyard, and based on the setup inside, it was clear that one was a Training Room, one a bedroom, and one a house specifically for worshipping gods.
The house for worshipping gods was filled with many idols, with the largest one sitting centrally, an elderly female Bodhisattva statue.
Su Que guessed that this statue was likely the "Mother of Wusheng" often mentioned by the White Lotus Sect Members.
The elderly female Bodhisattva statue had a sinister smile, and when Su Que looked at it, he felt as if it was actually smiling back at him.
Surrounding the elderly female Bodhisattva statue were over a dozen idols, some dressed as monks, some as Taoists, but all with demon-like fierce visages, exuding a sense of terror.
When Su Que shifted his gaze to these idols, he felt as if several Evil Gods had descended beside him, enclosing him.
Su Que quickly blinked his eyes and looked away, feeling it was eerie.
He stopped looking at these bizarre statues and headed towards the Training Room.
The Training Room had a wooden shelf on which lay over a dozen books.
Five of the books recorded the internal affairs of the White Lotus Sect in Jade Water City.
The other books were various Secret Manuals and Medicinal Formulas.
Su Que flipped through them one by one and found no "Red Fiend Technique" in the Secret Manuals, but he did see "Yin Wind Claw."
"How did Fan Wuyang's skill end up with Jing Sha?"
He was unaware that after the news of Fan Wuyang's death spread, Fan Wuyang's assets were divided among the Sect members.
Among those assets, the Sect members found the "Yin Wind Claw" Secret Manual.
When Bai Wuji got word of this, he instructed someone to make several copies of the manual and distributed them to the hands of the other Hall Masters.
As an Evil Technique, the Yin Wind Claw was more powerful than the equivalent level of orthodox skills.
After all, the Seven Injuries Fist is one of the Kongtong Sect's Ultimate Skills, and some of the low-ranking Sect members couldn't comprehend it even if they wished to learn.
The Yin Wind Claw was much simpler than the Seven Injuries Fist, and its side effects weren't as severe.
Thus, Bai Wuji wanted the Hall Masters to give the "Yin Wind Claw" to some low-ranking Sect members for practice.
Apart from "Yin Wind Claw," the others were orthodox martial arts, which did not interest Su Que.
As for those Medicinal Formulas, Su Que naturally took them all.
He planned to try each Medicinal Formula to see which had the best effect.
Looking left and right, he found a piece of cloth and wrapped the "Yin Wind Claw" and several other martial arts secret manuals, along with the Medicinal Formulas, into a bundle.
Then, searching the study once more, he still did not find the "Red Fiend Technique" Secret Manual.
Thus, he slapped Jing Sha's head with his hand, transmitting a Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi into him.
With a shudder, Jing Sha woke up immediately.
"Where is your 'Red Fiend Technique' Secret Manual?" Su Que asked at once.
"In that wall tile," Jing Sha answered promptly, fearing further torment, and directed his gaze toward a piece of wall tile.
"This one?" Su Que followed Jing Sha's gaze and reached out to touch a wall tile.
"Yes," Jing Sha nodded.
Su Que tapped lightly on the wall tile, and a small burst of Seven Injuries Fist Force issued forth.
Immediately, with a crack, the entire wall tile shattered into powder, revealing a yellowed booklet.
Su Que took out the booklet and blew away the stone dust.
On the booklet, were written the three characters for "Red Fiend Technique."
Opening it, he found the method for practicing the "Red Fiend Technique" recorded inside.
Satisfied, Su Que placed the Red Fiend Technique Secret Manual into his bundle and then asked Jing Sha:
"How can I find Bai Wuji, your top leader?"
Thinking that Jing Sha should know Bai Wuji's whereabouts, he asked.
"I don't know," Jing Sha shook his head.
'Even the Hall Master doesn't know?' Su Que frowned slightly.
"Then how does your Hall Master usually contact him?" Su Que asked.
"As long as we make a mark on the city wall, Bai Wuji's messenger will contact us, and then we arrange the meeting place and time," Jing Sha replied.
"What is Bai Wuji's strength like?" Su Que inquired further.
He was verifying what Zhao Tashan had said.
"He is a 'Five Blood Refining Viscera' Martial Artist," Jing Sha answered.
'It seems that what Zhao Tashan said is true, but it's also understandable, as the torment of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill True Qi is unbearable for a Martial Artist of Zhao Tashan's strength,'
Su Que thought. After contemplating for a moment and realizing there were no more questions for Jing Sha, he delivered a punch to Jing Sha's head, thus ending the life of this White Lotus Church Master.
