“Master uncle Rong is only at his Qi Practicing. How could he take a beating from someone who is at his Base Practicing? Besides, Shao Family hate him, of course they would beat much harder than usual. Maybe they even used some spiritual force secretly, so he would die.”
The disciple holding the spiritual stick hurriedly quibbled, “Don’t talk nonsense! We don’t use our spiritual force at all.”
Other disciples said, “Since he is already dead, what’s the use of those words?”
Shao Xingjiang yelled, “Who told you he is dead? Are you sure he has no breaths already? You even haven’t felt his pulse. How do you know he is dead?”
He squatted down and felt Rong Yi’s breath. He felt weak breaths and heaved a sigh of relief. Though he wished Rong Yi would die at once, not now yet.
Shao Xingjiang stood up, “He is still breathing.”
A disciple from Shao Family asked, “Do we need to cure him?”
Shao Xingjian gave him a stare, “If you give him a healing elixir, haven’t we beaten him up for nothing?”
“Then what should we do now? Keeping beating him or not?”
Shao Xingjiang, “…”
That was absolutely not an option now, or he’d be really dead, but it was also not possible to cure him and then go on the beating.
“Throw him back into the dungeon. When he gets better, I will deal with him then.”
“Yes.”
After throwing Rong Yi back into the dungeon, those disciples from Shao Family poohed at Rong Yi on the ground, “So useless! Only five spanks and you already passed out!”
Then they activated the seal and left, at this time the squeaking and hissing sound was heard again.
Those rats and Water Poison Snakes crawled to Rong Yi’s side and opened their mouths! As they were about to bite on him, a thunder fire was squirted out from inside Rong Yi’s body, which startled those rats and snakes, and they immediately retreated to the edge of the cell.
Rong Yi then opened his eyes and said to those rats and snakes with a faint smile, “I am not dead yet.”
Seeing him still alive, those rats and snakes lay on the ground sullenly. Damn! They got no meat to eat then.
Rong Yi stretched out a hand into his pants and took out a defending jade pendant, a ring and a rune stained with blood from under his butt, grinning, “So I hid them in the right place!”
He had been worried that before Immortal Yunyi or others could be able to make it here to save him, those who tried to framed him would already take away his storage ring and other stuff on him. So he stuffed the jade pendant Yin Jinye sent him and the ring Rong Weiyi left him into his pants, which accidentally saved his ass.
And fortunately he had already guessed those people might spank him, so he got some blood from those rats and snakes and used the rune to absorb it in. Only a few spanks, the blood inside the rune would ooze out. So actually those disciples from Shao Family didn’t hurt him so badly from the very first spank.
Now he was only not sure whether the spiritual sense Yin Jinye had saved in the pendant had sensed his danger.
Rong Yi then grinned at those rats and snakes, “Thank you so much for providing me so much fresh blood.”
On hearing that, those rats and snakes who could perceive human emotions were so angry that they all whipped the floor with their tails. Of course they didn’t provide the blood out of their own will, OK? This guy seized them and had bloodletting on them! What a big villain!
Rong Yi then took out a few elixirs and gave to them, “This is spirit power improving elixirs. Take it and you will advance to the next phase of your cultivation.”
Really? Those rats and snakes ran over and sniffed. As they noticed the dense spiritual qi rushing into their noses, they hurriedly fought to get their own.
Rong Yi touched his chin. Judging from what had just happened, they didn’t plan to kill him. If that was the case, things would be easier. Next the only thing he needed to do was play weak, then they could do nothing to him.
But this was not a permanent solution. He still hoped that someone could save him before he got busted.
Now Rong Yi felt a bit helpless. If he owned Jiang Mu’s cultivation, he could have already swept away the whole Nine Void Sect, but not being mistreated here. So high cultivation could speak itself. And no one would dare bully him!
But thinking of himself only at level three of Qi Practicing, he felt so fucking frustrated. He’d better lose no time to cultivate from now on.
As Rong Yi sat down, legs crossed, suddenly heard someone said, “Young man, neither of the two people you mentioned is in the sect.”
The one who was speaking was that beast who went to get help for him.
Rong Yi asked, “You really can’t leave Nine Void Sect?”
The other party kept silent.
Rong Yi then said, “Just reveal the ins and outs. On what condition will you leave this place and deliver a message for me?”
After quite a while, the other party said, “We heard from the crane that Zhonggu Prefecture is under the governing of a holy beast called Ze Shan. Those evil beasts that got enlightened by him could become an immortal. So we wonder if there is a chance for us to see him. Given our low spiritual power, I’m afraid we are already killed by those cultivators before we go out of Zhonghai Prefecture.”
Rong Yi said, “After I go out, I will send someone to take you there.”
“But we heard from the crane that Lord Ze Shan has already been missing for hundreds of years.”
“Since it’s just some rumor, it might not be true. We will inquire about it for you when I am out.”
“Will you really bring us to Zhonggu?”
“I’m a man of my words.”
“OK. We will deliver the message for you. But we can’t promise you anything, because we need to sneak into the carriage of the outer disciples who are responsible for the food supplies first, then we could get out. If we got exposed, we might be killed.” The reason they answered him so fast was because actually they had been observing Rong Yi in the dark. When Rong Yi gave them the spiritual power improving elixirs, they thought this guy wouldn’t trick them.
“You take a message to Yin Jinye at Rong Mansion in Laiyan Street of Haishan Town, saying that the chief’s lady detained me.”
“OK.” This time the beast really left.
Rong Yi came before the cell to observe the seal covering it, and see if he could break it and sneak away. Even he could not, at least it was not bad to find a place to hide.
The seal was set outside. Only someone at high cultivation phase could defunction it, so he gave up and started to study the jade pendant in his hand.
Rong Yi tried to attack the seal with his magic weapon and an enchanted rune, then its defending seal was triggered and he immediately got blown into the wall, and then fell on the floor severely.
“Holy crap! It kills me!” Rong Yi then crawled over to pick up the jade pendant, “There are too many seals set in the sect. I really wonder if daddy senses that I am in danger.”
He then stuffed the jade pendant and the ring back into his pants and sat up, saying to those rats and snakes, “I need to meditate to cultivate. If someone comes, you just let me know.”
The black rats, “…”
The snakes, “…”
Rong Yi also had no idea how long he had been cultivating when he heard the squeaking sound.
He hurriedly opened his eyes and lay on the ground, pretending badly injured.
“Hasn’t he woken up?” someone said.
The other then said, “He nearly died. How could it be so easy to wake up?”
“So weird. Someone is lying in the cage. Why no black rat or water poison snake bites him?”
The black rats, “…”
The snakes, “…”
