Chapter 332: Chapter 201: Cold Pool Snow Flood Dragon! Ice Soul Glowing Grass!

"Why is there a military camp here?"

Su Que felt puzzled, unfolded his Lightweight Skill, and stealthily made his way towards the tents.

His figure almost skimmed the ground, leaving no sound at all.

Soon, he reached the perimeter of this tented area.

This tented area had over a hundred tents, organized neatly within the valley.

Su Que used the tents to conceal his figure and saw soldiers in military attire moving between the tents.

He concealed his Qi again and darted further into the camp.

After observing for a while, he noticed a soldier walking alone in the camp not far away.

Seizing the moment, his figure turned into a shadow, swiftly darting towards that soldier like lightning.

When he reached the soldier’s back, his right hand formed into a saber, lightly and swiftly sweeping across the back of the soldier’s neck.

The Hand Saber struck the soldier’s neck.

The soldier’s head tilted, and he immediately collapsed.

Su Que lowered his shoulder to prop up the soldier onto it.

Then, employing Lightweight Skill once more, he became a shadow again and quietly left the camp.

He took the soldier to a cave far away.

After propping the soldier against the mountain wall, he immediately channeled a stream of True Qi into the soldier’s body.

The soldier shivered and instantly awakened.

Su Que clutched the soldier’s neck with his right hand, his thumb pressing against a deadly pressure point on the soldier’s neck.

Upon waking and seeing Su Que’s Rakshasa Mask, the soldier first jumped in fright.

Once he regained his senses, he attempted to resist but realized his neck’s pressure point was controlled, terror immediately flooded his eyes.

"If you don’t want to die, answer my questions," Su Que’s voice, cold and harsh like metallic friction, came from beneath the Rakshasa Mask.

"What... what do you want to know?" The soldier stammered in panic.

"Which faction do you belong to?" Su Que inquired.

Trembling, the soldier replied, "We belong to the Nineteen Crown Prince."

"Nineteen Crown Prince..."

Su Que slightly narrowed his eyes; he hadn’t expected to encounter one of the Court’s strongest factions here.

He had overheard talks in taverns in the Central Plains.

Emperor Jing of Liang had been reigning for three hundred years, with a long lifespan, outliving several of his sons.

However, due to his prolonged life, he now had over fifty sons with legitimate titles.

Rumor had it, during Emperor Jing of Liang’s prolonged seclusion for over ten years, the three strongest sons, namely the Tenth Prince, Nineteen Crown Prince, and Thirty Crown Prince, have been cultivating their own forces, forming three factions.

Each faction recruited Civil Servants, Military Generals, and major Noble Families.

The Court’s internal strife mainly revolves around the struggle of these three factions.

"What are you all doing here?" Su Que set aside his thoughts and asked again.

"We came here to extract all the ’Cold Profound Iron’ to forge Divine Soldiers," the soldier said.

Su Que deliberated upon hearing this.

The iron mine was beneath the Extreme Ice Cold Pool; if they extracted all of it, it could potentially destroy the Cold Pool.

Then, how could he cultivate?

Thinking of this, Su Que asked again, "Who is the strongest martial artist among you here, and what is their strength?"

The soldier replied, "The strongest martial artists here are under Nineteen Crown Prince’s command: General Pei Jian, Lin Taiyi of the Lin Family, and Young Master of the Manor Tie Langshan..."

Su Que abruptly interrupted the soldier’s words, "There are other factions besides the Nineteen Crown Prince here?"

The soldier nodded, "Yes, apart from Nineteen Crown Prince’s army, there are also the Lin Family and Hidden Iron Manor."

Su Que frowned and asked, "Why are these three factions gathered here?"

The soldier explained, "The Lin Family excels in mining iron ore and crafting Exotic Soldiers; Hidden Iron Manor specializes in forging Weapons and Armor, so the Nineteen Crown Prince invited these two families to help."

"Moreover, these two factions also belong to the Nineteen Crown Prince’s faction."

After listening, Su Que continued, "Then tell me, how strong are Pei Jian under the Nineteen Crown Prince, Lin Taiyi of the Lin Family, and Tie Langshan of Hidden Iron Manor?"

The soldier answered, "All three have Martial Arts Cultivation at the Gang Condensing Realm. Rumor has it General Pei Jian’s cultivation is the highest, but who among them is strongest, I do not know."

Su Que asked further, "How strong are the other individuals here?"

The soldier said, "Together, Lin Family and Hidden Iron Manor have only about twenty people. Besides their two strongest individuals, we don’t know how strong the others are."

"Our army under the Nineteen Crown Prince has about a thousand people here."

"Only General Pei is at the Gang Condensing Realm, five are at the Meridian Opening Realm, and the rest are at the Qi Blood Realm."

Su Que, having heard this, pondered silently.

If the soldier spoke the truth and there was no individual at the Divine Realm here, then no one here posed a threat to him.

If so, he wouldn’t need to consider much and could directly enter the Extreme Ice Cold Pool to cultivate.

The ideal situation would be completing the Fifth Heaven of Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens in the Cold Pool without these factions detecting him.

This way, he would leave after cultivation without disturbing anyone.

The undesirable situation would be these factions disturbing him during cultivation.

If so, he’d have no choice but to kill them.

Considering this, Su Que said to the soldier, "I’m merely borrowing the Cold Pool to cultivate, I won’t conflict with you, so you needn’t worry."

"After I let you go back, if you inform your superiors about this, I’ll kill you."

Pausing at this, Su Que continued clutching the soldier’s neck.
