Chapter 924: Underground Prison

”Is this place your headquarters? Judging by the outside appearance, I dare say that your Disciplinary Squad doesnʼt have a decent budget if any at all.” Yuan chuckled.

”Shut up and go inside.” Elder Gu said to him.

Yuan shrugged and entered the cave, which led him to an underground prison that looked like it had been out of service for hundreds of years.

ʼYoung Master, should I just kill these ignorant and disrespectful fools?ʼ Feng Yuxiang asked him.

ʼNo, leave it. I want to see what theyʼre going to do.” He said.

He then said out loud, ”Hey, I am only being questioned, right? Must we do it here? Itʼs so dirty that I can feel myself getting sick just from breathing in the air.”

Disciple Gu started laughing after hearing Yuanʼs words, and he said afterward, ”You really think we took you here to question you? Just how dumb are you?”

”What? If youʼre not going to question me, why did you bring me here?” Yuan asked, continuing his act.

”Oh, weʼll question you all right. The question is how weʼll do it!” Disciple Gu retrieved his sword and pointed it at Yuan.

”I donʼt care who you are. Since you dared to lay your filthy hands on my woman, I will make you regret ever being born!”

Yuanʼs eyes widened with surprise, and he asked, ”Huh? When did I ever lay a hand on your woman?”

”Donʼt act dumb! Healer Wang is my woman! I have had my eyes on her ever since she entered the sect, and I will do everything and anything to get my hands on her!” Disciple Gu shouted.

However, to their surprise, Yuan started laughing.

”Whatʼs so damn funny?”

”Everything.” Yuan smiled.

”I see. So you still donʼt understand your current situation, huh? Donʼt worry, I will help you come to a realization very soon!” Disciple Gu began approaching Yuan, but he was stopped by Elder Gu.

”Uncle?”

”Wait. Thereʼs no need to be impatient. I still need to question him. Once I am done, you can have all the fun you want with him.” Elder Gu said.

”Chain him to the wall!” He commanded the other disciples.

Yuan didnʼt resist and allowed them to chain him to the wall in one of the prison cells.

”If youʼre smart, you will answer my questions truthfully.” Elder Gu stood before him and began questioning him.

”Whatʼs your name?”

”Yuan.”

”Whatʼs your relationship with Healer Wang?”

”Weʼre only friends.”

”What is your background?”

”I donʼt have one.”

”Which sect do you belong to?”

”Iʼm what you call a Rogue Cultivator. I donʼt belong to any sect at this moment.”

”What about your family?”

”They threw me out for being useless.”

”In other words, youʼre a nobody! Which means we can kill you without offending anyone. You can forget about ever leaving this place now!” Disciple Gu laughed out loud.

”What about Healer Wang? Sheʼll be sad and angry if you kill me.” Yuan asked.

”Donʼt worry about her. Sheʼll forget about you once we feed her a Mind Invasion Pill.”

”A what?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

ʼYoung Master, a Mind Invasion Pill can alter oneʼs memories, and that includes erasing their memories.ʼ Feng Yuxiang explained.

”A soon-to-be-dead man doesnʼt need to know.” Disciple Gu said with a grim smile on his face.

”How did you sneak into the sect?” Elder Gu continued to question Yuan.

”I flew in here… With your Sect Master.” Yuan said with a smile.

”What?” Elder Gu immediately frowned.

”You heard me.”

”You know the Sect Master?”

”Not just the Sect Master. I also happen to know your Patriarch— Patriarch Gu. Weʼre practically best friends.”

”Heʼs fucking with us!” Disciple Gu exclaimed.

”If you donʼt believe me, you can contact your Patriarch and ask him yourself. Just tell him my name. He knows it very well.”

”Shut your damn mouth!” Disciple Gu suddenly rushed into the cell and swung his sword at Yuan, who was defensively chained to the wall.

”Wait!” Elder Gu tried to stop his nephew, but Disciple Gu was too fast, and the sword in his hand was already in a swinging motion.

”Donʼt worry, I wonʼt kill you so quickly! However, I will take one of your limbs!” Disciple Gu laughed as his sword mercilessly chopped at Yuanʼs right leg.

Ding!

The sound of metal colliding resounded, and it felt like heʼd struck a block of steel with his sword for Disciple Gu.

The sword flew out of his hand almost instantly after attacking Yuan, landing a few meters away.

”W-What the fuck?” He muttered in a dumbfounded voice.

”Surprised?” Yuan asked him with a smile.

”Youʼll need a little more arm strength if you want to take my leg.”

”I-I donʼt know what kind of trick that was, but youʼre still chained to the wall! What can you do in such a state? And the longer it takes to kill you, the more I will enjoy it, so resist as much as you want!”

Yuan suddenly yanked his arm, ripping the chains off the wall.

He then snapped the handcuffs into two parts with ease.

”What were you saying?” Yuan looked at Disciple Gu with a nonchalant expression on his face.

”I-Impossible! Those handcuffs are made from Spirit Sealing Crystals! Did he break them with his raw strength?!” The other disciples exclaimed.

”You donʼt believe that I know your Patriarch, right? If thatʼs the case, then how come I have this in my possession?” Yuan retrieved one of the treasures heʼd acquired from Patriarch Gu and showed it to them.

”T-Thatʼs—! Impossible! Why do you have that?!” Elder Gu exclaimed in a baffled voice.

ʼThatʼs definitely one of our Gu Familyʼs heirlooms— the Grail of Truth! I can even sense our Destiny Seal on it!ʼ He cried inwardly.

”If you want to know how I got this treasure, go ask your Patriarch. He was the one who gave it to me, after all.” Yuan said with a mysterious smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Liʼs talisman arrived at the Gu Familyʼs residence, alerting them of the situation at the Spirit Healing Academy.
