Chapter 227: Getting Imprisoned (1)
“Why are you? Why do you break into the forbidden area of our Nine Void Sect?” Those disciples all pointed at Rong Yi with their swords, looking angry.
Rong Yi said, “I’m Rong Yi, a disciple from Tianxu Peak.”
The leading disciple said, “Since you are disciple of Nine Void Sect, you should know you’d be expelled out of the sect if you break into the forbidden area!”
“Forbidden area? Here is the forbidden area?” Rong Yi explained, “I don’t know that. Someone brought me here.”
The leading disciple said in a deep voice, “No disciple doesn’t know Jiuzhuan Peak is the forbidden area. And we only see you are here, no one else. Besides, you got the flying rune on you, which means you have flown here by yourself. You lied! Doubly guilty!”
Rong Yi frowned. However hard he tried to explain, those people firmly believed that he broke into this place himself and would convict him. But who was behind this?
He thought all possible names but still couldn’t figure out who would frame him and let him offend so many people.
“You don’t have to get me expelled. I can leave by myself.”
Anyway in the very beginning, Rong Yi didn’t mean to stay in Nine Void Sect.
The leading disciple sulked, “Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you want? Someone! Detain him for further interrogation!”
“Yes!” Then other disciples flew by Rong Yi’s side and chained him.
Rong Yi knew he was not their rival. But even if he was and could flee, he still couldn’t escape out of Nine Void Sect. He tried to chill out and said, “I want to see Immortal Yunyi.”
“Immortal Yunyi is the great grandmaster of our sect. How could you a minor disciple see him so easily?” Apparently the leading disciple didn’t want him to see Immortal Yunyi at all. He then let other disciples throw him into the dungeon.
The dungeon was below the mountain where there was no sunlight but only a few torches in those corners.
As he was thrown into the dungeon, he heard hissing and squeaking sound.
Rong Yi lowered his head, only seeing a group of rats with sharp teeth were having a fight with the Water Poison Snakes. They were biting each other, taking each other as their food.
He looked over to other rooms. Except him, no one was locked in here.
Those disciples threw Rong Yi to the innermost room, locked him in and sealed it.
The seal could only prevent people escaping out but could not prevent those rats and Water Poison snakes coming in from outside.
After those disciples left, those rats and Water Poison snakes immediately took Rong Yi as their new prey.
Rong Yi then threw a thunder fire ball at them, those rats and snakes were startled and ran to the edge of the seal.
He then took advantage of the light of the torches to look around. Except that the door was made of iron, the other three sides were all sealed with stones and mud, with seal set around. He completely had no chance at all.
Rong Yi then lowered his head to look at the ground. He stamped on it and said sullenly, “Don’t know when daddy will find out that I got locked up here in the dungeon.”
The one who was behind this should be at a high position, and would not let him go before giving him severe torture.
“Who would it be?”
People of Shao Family?
Rong Yi shook his head.
The master of Shao Family was only a branch head, who dare not make such a petty move under the eyes of the chief and Immortal Yunyi.
And it could not be Rong Family.
He hadn’t broken with them totally, so they wouldn’t do this.
Then who could it be?
Now no one in Nine Void Sect didn’t want his enchanted runes, so he was the last person they would want to offend, or might even speak for him. So if no one stood out to speak for him, it meant that person behind this should have a very high position in Nine Void Sect.
But he could not just sit here waiting for Yin Jinye and Bu Qi to save him. How could he get Yin Jinye informed before they came to punish him?
Rong Yi walked back and forth in the dungeon. As the squeaking sound was heard again, he suddenly stopped and looked over to those black rats running around at the corner.
As he walked by the door of the cell, those rats immediately revealed their sharp and long teeth at him fiercely.
Rong Yi then lowered his head to ask them, “Can you understand what I am saying?”
Those rats gave no response, still wearing the I-want-to-eat-you expression.
“Which one of you could understand human language? I need you to take a message for me to ask someone for help. I can give you a big reward.”
Squeaking~ Those black rats were all squeaking.
Rong Yi frowned. In this huge mountain filled with abundant spiritual qi, there should be one or two animals that had evolved. Even if they couldn’t shapeshift, at least they should understand what he was saying.
“I mean what I said. If you still don’t believe me, I…” Rong Yi then took out some level five ingredients from his storage ring and put them before those rats, “Whether you make it or not, these ingredients are all yours. And after I get out of here, you’d get more.”
After a moment’s silence, someone finally opened his mouth, “There’s a seal out there preventing us going out. So we can’t take a message for you.
Rong Yi was surprised, “You don’t need to leave Nine Void Sect. You only need to go to Bai Yunchen in Tianxu Peak or find Immortal Yunyi and tell either of them that I am locked in here.”
After a moment’s silence, the other party said, “But your ingredients are all inside. We can not get them.”
He was implying that they were afraid Rong Yi might eat his words.
Rong Yi was embarrassed, “What should I do to make you believe me?”
The other party didn’t say anything, then those rats and snakes swept away all the ingredients on the ground.
Then the other party said, “We might get chased after by those cultivators and can’t make sure if we could take the message for you. Besides, maybe neither of them would buy what we said.”
Rong Yi said, “If Bai Yunchen doesn’t believe you, you ask him whether he still remember that I fell into the hidden tunnel thing. And if Immortal Yunyi doesn’t believe you, you just mention the name Bu Qi before him.”
And then the party no longer said anything.
Rong Yi thought they kept their words to deliver the message for him. But given the ability of those minor beasts, it was not possible to let them pass through those many peaks to find Bai Yunchen or Immortal Yunyi in a short time. Besides, they had to avoid those cultivators on the way.
It was all rayless in the dungeon, so it was hard to tell how long he had been waiting. It was a long time, they still didn’t come back, but Jin Yueyao came with her people.
