Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi pretended to be confused, feigning surprise as he asked, "How could it be you? Didn't you all abandon the inheritance and leave? How come you're all here?"

He had no intention of revealing the secret that he had already opened his Niwan Palace, opened his sea of ​​consciousness, and was able to project his spiritual power outwards!

The wisest course of action would be to feign ignorance of their imprisonment. Otherwise, how could he explain how he knew they were confined in that enclosed space? After all, only the person who imprisoned them would know, besides someone who could use mental power to investigate!

"We were completely unaware of what was happening. We suddenly woke up three days ago and found ourselves here. We tried everything, but all to no avail, and we were unable to escape. If we hadn't heard the sound of someone hitting the ceiling on your side today, we probably still wouldn't have seen the light of day again!"

"Yes, we've been waiting in the dark for the past three days, without a single day of proper rest!"

"You can tell how much we've been suffering by looking at the bloodshot eyes."

"And what's even more outrageous is that he didn't even give us a single bite of food. Isn't he afraid we'll starve to death? Even if it's a kidnapping, he should at least demand a ransom from me!"

Perhaps Ji Fan had been imprisoned for too long. After finally regaining his freedom, especially after seeing Ji Daoyi, a member of his clan, he became as lively as a wild horse!

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoyi sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead. He simply couldn't believe that Ji Fan had become such a different person in just a few days!

If he hadn't already confirmed that Qi Wei, that scoundrel, was dead, he might have even suspected that Ji Fan had been possessed by someone else!

Seemingly noticing the strange looks from everyone around him, Ji Fan coughed a few times and returned to the familiar demeanor everyone knew!

After Yao Yuyao and the others calmed down, they asked Ji Daoyi with suspicion, "Daoyi, what are you doing here? Weren't you fighting in the arena? Could it be that you, like us, have been locked up in this dark and gloomy place?"

Ji Daoyi first nodded slightly, then shook his head repeatedly: "The arena has already come to an end! The reason I came here is because of that old bastard Qi Wei. He only gave me this path to choose from. There is no other way to the outside world in the third level, so I can only follow him, and that's how I ended up here."

"It's over! Were we trapped here by Senior Qi Wei? Why would he do that?"

"Could it be that his so-called inheritance is a scam, designed to lure us here and then do something to us?"

.......

Yao Yuyao didn't understand why Senior Qi Wei did this for a moment, but she heard that Ji Daoyi came here with Senior Qi Wei after the arena competition, which meant that he was also here.

She then asked Ji Daoyi, "Daoyi, according to you, you came here with Qi Wei as the final winner. What about the others? Is Senior Qi Wei also here?"

"The others are all dead! As for that old bastard, nobody knows where he is now. Something's probably holding him up, so he hasn't come back yet," Ji Daoyi said casually.

"Everyone's dead!! Didn't they ask Senior Qi Wei to give up the competition? Why are they all dead?" Yao Yuyao was also shocked to hear this news. She didn't expect the final test to be so cruel, with so many people dying.

“Someone suggested forfeiting the match, but it’s a pity. That old bastard didn’t agree; instead, he wanted them to fight each other to the death. He just wanted to watch a show, a spectacle of them fighting each other.” Ji Daoyi’s voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness as he said this.

The weak have no right to control their destiny; they can only struggle and seek a sliver of hope for survival. But in the eyes of the strong, it's like a game, a game to please them.

A trembling voice asked, "Did you kill them?"

He looked at Ji Dao with fear in his eyes; he was also afraid that he would be killed by such a demon.

Ji Daoyi seemed to sense his fear, but didn't care, simply replying calmly, "No, I didn't attack them."

"How can you be the final victor if you didn't even lift a finger?"

“I know it’s hard for you to believe, but it’s the truth. They were bewitched by that bastard, and their greed blinded them. The strongest among them were betrayed by their trusted clansmen, and those people, knowing they didn’t have long to live, took crazy revenge on those who betrayed them.”

"While everyone was engaged in a chaotic brawl, I took advantage of their inattention and quietly went to a corner of the ring to lie down and pretend to be dead, which successfully fooled them!"

"Their battle was exceptionally fierce. After many life-or-death struggles, even the final victor among them was exhausted and on his last legs. In the end, I inexplicably became the final winner."

"Then Qi Wei told me that if I entered here, I could obtain his inheritance and wealth! However, before I could reply, he couldn't wait to come in. Seeing that I had no other choice, I could only follow him here."

Yao Yuyao pressed on, "Did you see him after you came in? Did he pass on his inheritance to you?"

"I saw it! But it seems he had some urgent matter to deal with at the end, so he disappeared from my sight without saying a word, without giving me his inheritance, and without saying when he would be back."

“I’ve been trapped for two days. To keep my friends from worrying, I decided to find a way out today. After I made a noise, I heard you knocking on the wall!”

Ji Daoyi spoke vividly, and although his words were only half true, they were mostly true except for some secrets he hadn't told them.

Listening to Ji Daoyi's endless words, even Yao Yuyao, who had initially doubted him, began to waver in her previous thoughts!

She had initially thought that Ji Daoyi had used special methods to kill Qi Wei, seize his wealth, and finally break the prison that held them captive, successfully rescuing them.

But then I thought about it again. Ji Daoyi was only at the Body Refinement Realm. How could he possibly be a match for Qi Wei, who was at the peak of the Divine Realm? Even if he was just a remnant soul now, he was still someone that Ji Daoyi could not contend with!

Suddenly, the secret chamber they were in began to shake violently, as if some enormous creature was attacking them.

Before long, the huge statue in the center of the secret chamber collapsed with a crash, and a huge exit appeared in one corner of the chamber, revealing the head of a huge, snow-white wolf.
