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

Chapter 38: A Chance to Escape

With Xiao Yichen's action, the man quickly regained consciousness. After seeing the situation clearly, he hurriedly pushed his fellow disciples. Fortunately, the guards were all outside and the movement here did not attract their attention.

Not long after, all the people from Qingfeng Pavilion in the neighboring cell were awakened one after another. They gathered around an old man and discussed something in a low voice. Only then did they notice Xiao Yichen who was eavesdropping beside them.

He was not embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping on the spot, and greeted them in a very familiar manner. At first, they just responded politely, but when Xiao Yichen mentioned that he had previously signed up to participate in the assessment of Qingfeng Pavilion disciples, it caught the old man's attention.

"I'm not lying to you. I really did sign up, and I was just about to take the assessment. The senior brother who signed me up at that time said that I had a talent for cultivation and that I could definitely become his junior brother. But then I encountered some problems and was tricked into joining another sect." Xiao Yichen's mouth was almost dry with anxiety on his face.

He just overheard that they were captured by the Lingjian Sect, which means that he is now in the Lingjian Sect. There is no doubt that it must be that old immortal Liu Yang who captured him here.

Moreover, although he had been in a coma during this period, he would occasionally wake up for a short period of time. He remembered that someone seemed to have taken him back to the Charm Sect, but he was here when he woke up. If all this was true, it could only mean that he had been sold out by the Charm Sect.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, the old man from Qingfeng Pavilion suddenly interrupted him and asked, "What's your name?"

Hearing this, he immediately replied, "Xiao Yichen."

The old man immediately fell silent, as if recalling something. After a long while, he raised his head again, looked at Xiao Yichen, and said, "I remember now. You were the disciple who signed up for the entrance examination a year ago and then suddenly disappeared. Later, traces of the Meiyu Sect were discovered in the place where you disappeared. At that time, some disciples from the sect went to the Meiyu Sect to retrieve you, but in the end, there was no news."

"Yes, yes, that person is me." Xiao Yichen answered excitedly, almost attracting the attention of the guard outside the door.

"How did you get captured here by the Spirit Sword Sect? And what happened to your hand?" Suddenly a disciple next to him asked him. Hearing the other party's question, Xiao Yichen suddenly felt blocked in his heart. Then he thought of the first time he met Liu Sha in the Discipline Valley, who was looking for trouble with him and deliberately insulting him. In the end, Liu Yang cut off his hands and brought him here. Hatred appeared in his eyes.

Seeing his change, the old man next door looked slightly gloomy, then looked at Xiao Yichen's hands and asked, "What happened to make you look like this?"

He took a deep breath, suppressed the hatred in his heart, and slowly told the master everything that had happened to him, from being threatened to enter the Charm Gate in the beginning, to being punished to enter the Discipline Valley for finding herbs for Yun Mei, and then the conflict with Liu Sha and Liu Yang crippling his hands. Except for his current true strength and the energy in his body, he confessed everything.

After hearing his complaints, everyone was shocked. After a long pause, a female disciple said in disbelief, "So, you were imprisoned in the Discipline Valley because you saved a disciple from the sect? And then the other person caused trouble first, and in the end, you were crippled?"

Xiao Yichen nodded with mixed feelings. He had never taken the initiative to cause trouble from the beginning to the end, but in the end he became an abandoned child.

"Haha, what a great sect of charm! That old witch Ye Mengli was deceived by a man, so she made up so many sect rules, treating male disciples as furnaces. She also doesn't allow disciples to help each other under the name of doing good for the disciples. I thought they were all exaggerated rumors before, but I didn't expect them to be true." The old man said in a deep voice with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Xiao Yichen lowered his head, trying his best to suppress the resentment in his heart. Although he looked calm, he had already cursed the Meiyu Sect and the Lingjian Sect in his heart.

Seeing him like this, the old man stood up and said to him, "Do you want to go out alive and take revenge?"

Xiao Yichen raised his head and looked at the old man, gritting his teeth and saying word by word: "Of course, if I get this strength after I go out, I will definitely destroy these two sects." At this moment, his eyes were full of bloodshot. Seeing this, the old man had no doubt that if he really had this strength, he would not hesitate to eliminate these two sects from the East Continent.

"I'll give you this opportunity, but the process may be very dangerous. Are you willing?" the old man asked in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Xiao Yichen agreed without hesitation: "Of course I am willing. The worst that can happen is death. Anyway, those two old guys Liu Sha and Liu Yang will not let me go."

After hearing Xiao Yichen's answer, the old man was very satisfied. He took out a talisman paper from his arms and handed it to him. Xiao Yichen saw this and clamped it with his two wrists without palms, and asked with some confusion: "What is this?"

"This is a rumor symbol with a location. We were all kidnapped here by the Spirit Sword Sect. The sect still has no news about us. I just tried this dungeon, but I can't send any message at all. And the Spirit Sword Sect will probably not let us leave." Having said this, he looked back into Xiao Yichen's eyes and said seriously:

"But you're different. The Spirit Sword Sect disciple named Liu Sha you mentioned earlier will definitely come to torture you. You can take this opportunity to tear off the talisman paper outside. Then, after receiving the news, Qingfeng Pavilion will naturally send someone to rescue us. Then, you'll have a chance to escape. As long as we can survive this time and return to Qingfeng Pavilion, I will take the initiative and accept you as my disciple."

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yichen intently. This was not only an opportunity for the other party, but also his only chance to escape from the predicament. If Xiao Yichen was unwilling, then he and the four disciples behind him would probably never be able to leave this cell in their lifetime.

Xiao Yichen looked at the talisman paper between his hands with a burning gaze. He carefully stuffed it into a hidden place on his body and smiled at the old man: "I...promise."

Hearing this, the old man breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy weight in his heart fell, and a smile reappeared on his face. He said to Xiao Yichen, "My name is Xuan Qing. The disciples in the sect all call me Elder Xuan. You can call me that too."

"Disciple Xiao Yichen, greetings to Elder Xuan." Xiao Yichen bowed respectfully and spoke in an extremely formal voice.

"Haha, you haven't even finished what I asked you to do, but you're already bowing to me." Elder Xuanqing stroked his beard with a smile, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Hearing this, Xiao Yichen slowly raised his head and met Elder Xuanqing's gaze. His eyes were filled with unprecedented determination and madness, as if he was determined to burn his boats. He said firmly, "Disciple, I will definitely complete this task, at any cost, I will..."
