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

Chapter 26: Siege

When the guard led ten people to the gate, he left without looking back. The next moment the stone gate closed, Liu Sa shouted to the people around him, "Catch him."

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen immediately ran towards the nearby woods, cursing inwardly, "They're all his people! Is this old man so popular here?"

Although the nine people's cultivation was suppressed, they were still much stronger than Xiao Yichen in terms of physique. It could be said that he had no advantage at all now, whether in terms of strength or numbers.

After running for a while, he was knocked to the ground by a punch from one of them. He felt a sharp pain in his back. Then, the man behind him grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Boy, you can run quite fast. I didn't expect you to be such a genius. At such a young age, you have already reached the high level of the Body Tempering Realm." The big man held Xiao Yichen's neck. Although there was a mockery on his face, he was very shocked in his heart. A high-level Body Tempering Realm disciple at the age of around 20 is a core disciple in the sect no matter where he is.

While he was still in shock, the others slowly gathered around him. The big man casually threw Xiao Yichen to the ground and respectfully said to Liu Sa, "Master Liu."

Xiao Yichen on the ground was somewhat shocked by the attitude of the others towards Liu Sha. He couldn't understand why the other party had such a high status even though his strength was obviously not as good as the others.

Liu Sha slowly came to Xiao Yichen and squatted down. He grabbed his hair and lifted his head up. A disgusting smile appeared on his face, and he said to him, "Haha, kid, I said I would make you live a life worse than death. Although I can't kill you with my own hands, I can still make you suffer some physical pain." After speaking, he winked at the person next to him, and the person walked up to Xiao Yichen and stepped on his knee.

"Ah..." The intense pain made Xiao Yichen scream, but this scream was like a stimulant in the ears of the others. The louder he screamed, the stronger the man's footsteps became.

Until there was a cracking sound, and Xiao Yichen's right knee was completely broken. His forehead was covered with sweat. He gritted his teeth and stared at the faces of the people around him, trying to memorize their faces in his mind.

"Hmph, you still dare to stare at us like that." The man who stepped on Xiao Yichen said harshly, then raised his foot and stepped hard on the other foot again, groaning. This time, Xiao Yichen did not cry out in pain like before, but the bulging blue veins on his forehead clearly showed how much pain he was in.

Liu Sha walked up to him, kicked him on the head, and said maliciously: "If you kneel down and kowtow to me now, and say something nice, I might choose to let you go."

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen endured the severe pain in his knees, raised his head and said to the disgusting man in front of him: "Haha, you can only show off in front of me. You can't even beat a 20-year-old like me, and you still have the nerve to ask people to help you. I really don't know if you have lived like a dog at your age. You are a waste. Don't look at how respectful they are to you. Don't you just have a little background? If it weren't for the person behind you, no one would pay attention to you." After speaking, he spat on the ground and continued: "But the person behind you should not be that good either. After all, you are so old and you don't have many years to live. He still hasn't rescued you from this place. You must have been abandoned."

The latter words seemed to touch the other party's wound. Liu Sa's face turned ugly in an instant. He stood up and kicked Xiao Yichen's head on the ground repeatedly. After a while, Xiao Yichen's face was covered with bloodstains, but he kept saying, "Haha, was I right? You won't really be abandoned by the person behind you." As he said that, he turned his head to the side and looked at the other people around him, his face full of ridicule: "You bunch of lackeys are also mentally ill. What are you trying to gain by following a loser whose cultivation is not as good as yours? Now that the powerful person behind him doesn't care about him, you are still like dogs, quite loyal."

The eight people standing by also had ugly expressions on their faces, and their eyes turned to Liu Sa with a different tone. Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Liu Sa became angry and continued to kick Xiao Yichen's head a few more times, then shouted: "Impossible, I am the son of the Grand Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect. I am my father's only son. How could he give up on me?"

Hearing this, and seeing the tangled expressions on the faces of the people around him, who clearly understood what he said, Xiao Yichen laughed even louder. "Haha, I remember hearing from others that you were imprisoned in your 30s. You look almost or now. At this age, you'd be buried in the mortal world. And you still dream of getting out? You'll stay here for the rest of your life. Besides, how long have you been here? Didn't your good father give you another brother? Haha..."

Like a wound being opened, Liu Sa roared at the people around him, "What are you still looking at? Quickly cripple this kid's hands and feet. I want him to be a cripple for the rest of his life."

When he finished shouting, he found that no one present moved, especially the strong man who had just grabbed Xiao Yichen. He guessed from Xiao Yichen's cultivation that the young man on the ground must be a core disciple of a certain sect. If he just taught him a lesson, it would not matter, but if he really wanted to cripple Xiao Yichen, he couldn't guarantee that after the other sect got to know the news, they would cripple him as well. Although he was imprisoned in this Discipline Valley for committing a crime, he should be free again in a dozen years. Naturally, he didn't want to cause any other trouble.

The others had the same idea. Seeing this, Liu Sha yelled at them like a madman. When no one paid attention to him, he actually stretched out his finger and poked it into Xiao Yichen's eyes. If Xiao Yichen hadn't reacted quickly, he would have succeeded.

"Damn, this old bastard has lost his mind." Xiao Yichen rolled to the side and stared at Liu Sa fiercely. At this time, Liu Sa slowly regained some consciousness from his impulse and said coldly to the people around him: "My father will not give up on me. If you believe him, you can leave now. But forget about the reward I promised you. And don't forget, no matter how useless I am, my father has other descendants outside, but I am still his son."

Hearing this, the men pondered, weighing the pros and cons. Seeing them lost in thought, Liu Sa continued, "I'm not asking you to cripple him. I understand your concerns. Just as we agreed before, just severely injure this guy. We can then testify against each other. After all, there are plenty of wild beasts around here, and his injuries are none of your business. As long as you make a move, I'll do what I promised you."

After hearing what Liu Sha said, those people seemed to have made up their minds. One of them took the lead and slowly walked towards Xiao Yichen. He grabbed his collar and punched him in the stomach. The severe pain made Xiao Yichen's body tremble. With someone taking the lead, the rest of them were no longer afraid. They surrounded Xiao Yichen one by one and started punching and kicking him. After seeing all this, Liu Sha, who was standing by, showed a satisfied smile on his face.

When Xiao Yichen, who was covered in wounds, passed out, those people slowly stopped what they were doing and waited for Liu Sa's instructions. Liu Sa smiled at them, asked someone to lift Xiao Yichen from the ground, and walked towards the jungle in the distance. When they arrived at the place, he signaled the man to leave him there and then left.

The sun slowly set, the jungle gradually darkened, and an eerie atmosphere gradually filled the place. Xiao Yichen was lying on the ground, still unconscious. At this moment, the energy in his body was constantly repairing his injuries. At this moment, a wolf-like monster slowly walked out of the darkness.
