Sister, I don't want to be a furnace anymore. I'm about to become an immortal.

Chapter 25: Letting Go

In the Discipline Valley, in a room specially used to punish disobedient prisoners, Xiao Yichen was pinned to the ground by two guards, with Liu Sa lying next to him, gasping for breath.

A burly middle-aged man in the front seat stared at the two of them indifferently and said coldly, "Xiao Yichen, this is the second time you've caused trouble in Discipline Valley. Tell me, what's the reason this time?"

Xiao Yichen, who was pinned down by the guards, twisted his body and tried to break free from the guards' hands, but after trying, he found that the guards were too strong. He found that each guard wore a piece of jade around his waist, which emitted a hint of golden light. He thought this was the reason why they were not affected by the Soul Locking Formation.

Xiao Yichen was pinned to the ground, his expression very angry as he said, "Why? You only saw me attacking this old man. Don't you know that he had someone to embarrass me before? Am I not even allowed to resist?"

"If he wants to make things difficult for you, then why doesn't he make things difficult for others but only for you?" The middle-aged man sitting in front said with disdain without even raising his eyelids.

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen, who was pinned to the ground, turned pale and yelled, "Listen to what you're saying, are you still talking like a human being? Otherwise, I'll slap you twice. Guess why I only hit you and not others."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of spiritual energy shot towards his body and hit his arm directly. In an instant, Xiao Yichen felt a sharp pain and screamed.

"Haha, now I know why he made things difficult for you. You have such an annoying mouth." The light on the man's fingers slowly dissipated. It seemed that he was the one who launched the attack just now.

"I'll give you one chance. You weren't here for any big deal. Just stay here honestly for two months and don't cause any trouble. After two months, someone from your Meiyu Sect will come to pick you up." After saying that, he waved to the two guards below. After receiving instructions, the two guards lifted Xiao Yichen from the ground and walked outside.

In the room, only the middle-aged man and Liu Sha on the ground were left. The middle-aged man shot a stream of spiritual energy into Liu Sha's body. After a while, the injuries on his body slowly recovered. Climbing from the ground, Liu Sha looked at the man on the stage with horror.

"Greetings...Greetings, Lord Ling Wu."

"You heard what I said just now, right?" The middle-aged man said slowly, without any emotion in his tone.

Hearing this, Liu Sha knelt down on the ground and said in fear, "I know. I will never bother that kid again." As he spoke, he knocked his head heavily on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Ling Wu slowly stood up, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and said something that made the old man a little confused.

"That's all your business. As long as you don't kill anyone and don't make things difficult for me by coming here, you can do whatever you want with the rest."

Liu Sa was a little confused. He slowly raised his head, his old face full of confusion: "Sir, what are you doing?..."

Before he could finish his words, Ling Wu turned his back to him and waved his hand, saying, "Go down. Remember, I'm the head of Discipline Valley. Don't bother me unless it's something serious. Got it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Sha nodded quickly and left the place quickly. However, when he came out of the house, his face was full of excitement: "Boy, you are really brave. You even dared to offend Lord Ling Wu. Now, no one in the Discipline Valley can protect you."

Inside the room, Ling Wu returned to his seat and slowly sat down, a hint of mockery on his face.

"Haha... Charming Desire Sect? You guys ran into this all yourselves. It's just your little disciple's fault for being so arrogant. He's only been here a few days and he's already causing trouble in front of me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have discovered him. This is a good opportunity to use this incident to gauge the attitude within your sect."

After returning to the prison, Xiao Yichen sat down casually on the ground, thinking to himself: "I didn't expect that I didn't get an extra sentence this time. It seems that the court is still quite reasonable. I want to see how that old man bothers me after he comes back." After saying that, he closed his eyes happily, obviously in a very good mood.

After a while, the door of the next cell was opened. Hearing the noise, Xiao Yichen turned his head with interest, wanting to provoke the other party, but after seeing that Liu Sha's injuries were completely healed, his brows frowned slightly.

"Who treated him?"

Liu Sha also noticed Xiao Yichen's gaze and looked at him, but just smiled at him without saying much. However, when Xiao Yichen saw the smile on his face, he got goose bumps.

"Is this old man's brain damaged?" He turned his head and ignored him, but he always felt that something was wrong. Did the other party's attitude change too quickly?

In the next few days, Xiao Yichen lived a relatively normal life. No one came to trouble him, but the more this happened, the more uneasy he felt. Liu Sha, who had said he wanted to kill him a few days ago, smiled at him every day during this period. Even the people he had beaten before no longer appeared in front of him.

During the meal, Xiao Yichen went to a corner alone and silently observed the movements around him. Everything was normal. From time to time, there were fights, which was no different from usual. However, he always had a feeling that a storm was about to come.

Some time passed like this. Today, it was exactly one month since he came here. After finishing his work, the guard gathered everyone together and announced something: "Everyone, be quiet. According to the rules, ten people can go out for three days every month. Based on recent performance, the number of people allowed to go out this month is: ......"

After the guard finished reading out the names on the list, there was a commotion around, some disdainful, some dissatisfied. Xiao Yichen was a little surprised to hear his own name among the ten people. He was a little confused: "I'm only staying here for two months, how did this opportunity fall to me?"

Moreover, among these ten people, he also heard a familiar name. Liu Sha was also among the people who were allowed to go out for a walk. When the people around him slowly left, he looked for the other party in the crowd and soon found him not far away. He saw Liu Sha still standing there, surrounded by four or five people. They were the ones who had fought with Xiao Yichen before. At this moment, they were staring at Xiao Yichen with a smirk on their faces, and made a gesture of wiping his neck at him with their hands.

"Damn, so he was waiting for me here?" Xiao Yichen's face changed drastically. No wonder the other party had been so honest recently and hadn't done anything wrong. It went without a doubt that among the ten people the guard mentioned just now, except for Liu Sha, those others should also be included in the quota for this release. Maybe, the other nine were Liu Sha's accomplices.

A bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He couldn't even beat two or three people, let alone facing the siege of nine people.

After returning to his cell, Liu Sha soon walked back slowly from outside. He imitated Xiao Yichen's previous behavior, lying on the ground with his legs crossed, humming an unknown tune, and laughing at Xiao Yichen's cell from time to time.

Time passed as Xiao Yichen kept thinking about how to deal with the situation. Soon, it was time to go out for some fresh air. The ten of them were led by several guards towards the huge stone gate at the entrance. After a loud bang, the stone gate slowly opened.

A guard turned around and said to them, "From now until sunset three days later, you can move freely, but only within the specified range. We have arranged a large number of guards around. Once they find any signs of you escaping, they will kill you on the spot without hesitation." After that, the guard took out ten pills from the space ring and gave one to each of them.

The other nine people swallowed the pill naturally. Only Xiao Yichen did not move, not knowing what it was. Seeing this, the guard shouted impatiently: "Eat it, it's used to suppress your cultivation. Otherwise, do you really think I will let you out so easily?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen still did not move. He thought to himself that if he didn't eat it, he would not have to go out. He was just about to say that he didn't want to eat it and asked him to go back to the Discipline Valley, but the pill was snatched away by the guard. Then Xiao Yichen felt someone strangled his neck and the pill was stuffed into his mouth by the guard.

When the people around saw this scene, they burst into laughter. The moment the pill entered his body, Xiao Yichen clearly felt that the energy in his body was slightly suppressed. However, it only took a moment before it returned to normal, and the worry in his heart slowly settled down.

"Fortunately, my strength is still there, otherwise it would be really dangerous."
