When Wei Qi learned that his little apprentice was taken away by the Chen family, he immediately took the guards to rescue him.
But before he even walked out of the yard, his mother stopped him and said, "Qilang, don't act rashly."
"Why? Mother, aren't you the most powerful? Why did you let those people take Yingbao away?" Wei Qi burst into tears.
Wang Jin slowly approached her son, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Chen family of Suzaku City sent two Jindan Great Perfection cultivators just for Yingbao. Your mother cannot defeat them."
Wei Qi cried out of breath and struggled to get out: "Those bad guys! I want to save Yingbao!"
Wang Jin sighed, hugged her son and comforted him, "I have inquired about it. They want to take Yingbao to Suzaku City. I think they love her and want to train her. How about we go to Suzaku City as well?"
"Really?" Wei Qi wiped his tears with his sleeves, his eyes sparkling: "I can still see her, right? She will still be my apprentice in the future, right?"
Wang Jin nodded slightly: "The Chen family is also a big family. We will investigate slowly after we get there. We must not act impulsively."
Wei Qi curled her lips, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
He always felt uneasy, thinking that he would never see Yingbao again.
During these three years, he had raised his little disciple with great difficulty using many high-level spiritual medicines, but she was suddenly snatched away by someone. If he had known this would happen, he should have taken her away from home, or returned to Qinglong City.
Not long after, Yingbao was put into a sealed cage and taken to Suzaku City.
But after arriving at Suzaku City, she was still not released, but was locked up in a huge cave.
There are many black iron cages in the cave, and each cage is filled with strange monsters.
Most of those monsters had developed intelligence and looked down upon her coldly. They watched her being surrounded by a group of cultivators and having her flesh cut and blood drained, and then watched her being fed bottle after bottle of medicinal herbs.
From then on, Yingbao would be cut of flesh and blood by the monks of the Chen family every three to five days. One time, they even cut her open to see if there were any rare treasures hidden in her body.
This time, Yingbao almost died and was in a coma for a whole month.
The Chen family was afraid of killing this blood and flesh supplier, so they finally dared not to perform an abdominal surgery to remove organs.
As time went by, Yingbao learned to be patient and to please others.
One day, after her flesh was cut off again, a girl came to bring her food.
She fed the bloody baby girl with shaking hands and asked, "Yingbao, does it hurt?"
Yingbao looked up at her without saying a word.
The girl asked in tears: "How can I kill you?"
Yingbao looked at her silently: "I don't want to die." How could she die before she had taken revenge
After feeding the last spoonful of food, the girl staggered out of the cave.
Yingbao looked down at the food bowl left on the ground and reached out to take it.
There is a faint rune on the bottom of the food bowl, which cannot be seen unless you look carefully.
She put the food bowl into the divine palace and looked at the rune intently.
It was very similar to the rune on his wrist, but not exactly the same.
Yingbao tried to comprehend the rune, comparing it to the soul-binding chain on her wrist.
This should be an unlocking rune, but I don't know how to unlock it.
So Yingbao had nothing to do so she closed her eyes and concentrated on deciphering the runes in the divine palace, which took a long time.
There is no day or night in the cave, but there are sunstones, and people come to replace them every once in a while.
Yingbao silently counted the time it took them to change the sunstone to estimate how long she had been in the cave.
Three years? Or five years
Finally one day, she unlocked the rune and applied it to the soul-binding chain on her wrist.
With a click, the soul-binding lock on the wrist opened, and the long-lost spiritual energy slowly penetrated into the meridians and lungs.
Yingbao was overjoyed, but thinking that the Chen family members would be here soon, she locked the Soul Binding Chain again.
From then on, whenever the Chen family left, she would untie the soul-binding chains, move her legs and feet in the cave, and let the spiritual energy flow through her body.
The monsters just looked at her silently without making any sound.
Yingbao whispered to them, "When I become stronger, I will take you out with me."
The monsters' eyes lit up and then they nodded.
Once, Yingbao untied the soul-binding chains on her wrists and ankles, opened the cage, came to the cages of these monsters, took out spiritual medicine from the divine palace and threw it to them to restore their spiritual power.
A monster looked at her for a long time, and suddenly spit out a magic pill and pushed it towards Yingbao.
Yingbao knew what it meant. It wanted to absorb the demon pill and improve its cultivation.
In order to escape, she did not refuse and accepted the magic pill.
Afterwards, two more monsters spat out their demon pills and gave them to Yingbao.
Yingbao accepted them one by one and tried hard to absorb them.
Finally one day, Yingbao heard the monks who came to draw her blood talking about the Chen family's triumphant competition that would be held every three years, and the selected people could join the Wuji Sect.
Yingbao knew that the last time the Chen family held the triennial competition, the Chen family members did not appear in the cave for several days.
This is an opportunity.
After Yingbao was bled by them again, she pretended to faint to let the Chen family relax their vigilance.
At night, she heard the guards fall asleep again, so she opened the soul-binding lock and put the black iron cage into the divine palace.
Afterwards, he opened all the cages of the monsters and gave them some high-level elixirs to restore their spiritual power.
Of course, she did not let go of these black iron cages and put them all into the divine palace.
If she fails this time, she may never escape, so she would either become a god or die.
As she walked towards the cave entrance step by step, Yingbao's heart was beating wildly.
More than twenty monsters followed behind him without making any sound.
Arriving at the iron gate, Yingbao shone a flame on the lock, slowly melting the thick black iron lock.
She didn't know how high her cultivation level was, but a blast of fire from her shot into the guard room, instantly burning the four guards into black ashes.
These guards are almost all foundation-building monks.
The cave corridor is very long, and there are two locked black iron doors.
Yingbao melted all the iron doors to make it easier for several huge monsters to come out.
Arriving at the last black iron gate, Yingbao had just melted the padlock when he was discovered by the guard outside. He blew the siren frantically, but was instantly burned to ashes by a flame.
Yingbao protected the monsters one by one as they squeezed out of the cave entrance. After they all came out, he rode a giant monster and rushed out.
This should be the Chen family's forbidden area. Yingbao couldn't tell the directions for a moment.
A bird-shaped monster flew into the sky and led her in the direction of escape.
After a while, many Chen family cultivators flew over. Most of them were foundation-building cultivators, but there were also a few Jindan cultivators.
But at this moment, Yingbao looked at them as if they were a group of ants.
A fire net was spread out, and groups of foundation-building monks fell down one by one like burning butterflies.
Yingbao was riding naked on the monster's back, her long hair flying around like seaweed, and a circle of flames surrounded her body.
When the monks saw her, they all thought she was a ghost from somewhere.
"Not good! This girl should be at the Nascent Soul stage. Go and ask the ancestor to come out!" someone shouted.
Yingbao looked at them coldly, not taking them seriously.
The giant monster carried her on its back and leaped around, quickly running out of the Chen family's forbidden area.
Yingbao looked down at the Chen family's mansion and waved her hand, sending a beam of fire over there.
The flames rushed towards the houses and people like snakes, devouring them one by one.
As long as they don't die, the flames will burn them all.
Yingbao howled to the sky, calling on the monsters to run towards the city gate.
"Monster! Where are you escaping to!" A golden light came down from the sky and attacked Yingbao.
Yingbao drew a long sword and fought back.
But the long sword broke and shattered like tofu.
Yingbao spat out a mouthful of blood and had to throw out another giant black iron cage.
The monster roared and ran away with her.
Monsters kept falling down around, but there were still more monsters to replenish them, protecting Yingbao in the middle.
We soon arrived at the city gate and saw many people standing there repairing the city gate.
One of them dragged a woman and a man over and shouted at Ying Bao, "Give up, or I'll kill them!"
Yingbao narrowed her eyes slightly, and when she saw who they were, she laughed out loud.
Flames rose up around his body and suddenly rushed towards the city gate.
Wherever the flames passed, everything was reduced to ashes, including the black iron city gate.
Monster beasts rushed out one after another and then fled in all directions.
By the time the monks chased out, most of the monsters had disappeared.
It turned out that Yingbao used escape talismans on some monsters, allowing them to escape from the range of Suzaku City as quickly as possible, while she herself and the monster carrying her used a thousand-mile escape talisman and instantly entered a forest.
At this time, she was seriously injured and lying on the monster, unable to move.
The previous blow shattered her lungs. If it weren't for her special body, she would have died long ago.
Perhaps the high-level monk also thought so, so he did not continue to pursue her. After all, she was only a child in her teens, and after several years of torture, she looked like she was only eight or nine years old.
After an unknown amount of time, Yingbao woke up and found herself curled up in the soft belly of the monster.
The monster has returned to its original appearance, and it turned out to be just a black and white striped mountain tiger.
It was also seriously injured and was gasping for breath.
Yingbao took out a magical herb and stuffed it into its mouth, "Xiaohua, we haven't taken revenge yet, you must not die."
The black and white striped tiger looked at her and chewed the elixir slowly.
Yingbao checked the herbs in her divine palace again and found that there were only a few mid-level ones left, and the rest had not yet grown up.
These days, in order to help the monsters recover their spiritual power, I gave them most of the spiritual medicines, just for this escape. Fortunately, most of them escaped.
Thinking of the monsters that died in the city, Yingbao felt inexplicably sad.
Among them was a monster that gave out a demon pill, but it ultimately failed to come out.
After lying there for several days, Yingbao was finally able to move. She patted Xiaohua's belly, stuffed several spiritual fruits into its mouth, and asked, "Can you get up?"
After Xiaohua finished chewing the spiritual fruit, she slowly stood up, looked at Yingbao, lowered her head, and let her step on her head and climb onto her back.
Yingbao found a skirt from the shrine and put it on, only to find that it only reached her knees.
She frowned and found another pair of pants to put on.
Fortunately, the pants were all wide-waisted drawstring pants, so I could still put them on, but the original long pants became shorts.
"Xiaohua, just drop me off at Qinchuan County and leave. I want to go find my parents." Yingbao knew that she might be ambushed if she went back, but she had to go back.
If those people threatened her with her parents and brother, she would kill them and then take her parents and the others into the forest to live.
Monsters are not scary, what is scary are the human cultivators.
Xiaohua let out a cry and spread out all four hooves to run in one direction.
Later, Yingbao and Xiaohua got lost in the forest and spent nearly a year searching before returning to Qinchuan County.
Looking at the familiar city wall, Yingbao's eyes were filled with tears.
During this year, she also encountered cultivators. As long as they were from the Chen family in Suzaku City, she would ask them for directions to Qinchuan County. No matter whether they answered or not, she would kill them all without letting any of them go.
Yingbao tied a storage bag around Xiaohua's neck with a rope, patted it and said, "There are a lot of spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines here. Go back to the forest and practice well. Don't let others catch you again."
Xiaohua rubbed her with its big head and whimpered, as if reluctant to leave.
Yingbao saw it standing there and didn't move, so she frowned and said, "You will be discovered here, so you'd better go back."
Xiaohua still looked at her without moving.
Yingbao sighed, "If you were as big as a kitten, I would take you with me."
Xiaohua hesitated for a long time, and her body suddenly became smaller and smaller, until it became like a kitten, looking up at her, and the storage bag hanging around its neck dragged on the ground.
Yingbao was surprised. She quickly picked up Xiaohua, put away the storage bag, and slowly walked towards Qinchuan County.
She was much taller than she was a year ago, and due to being exposed to the sun and rain, her skin was dark, and her hair was cut into a short buzz cut. When others saw her, they all thought she was a dark-skinned boy.
When I walked into the county town and arrived at my home, I saw that the gate was closed. I scanned the house with my spiritual sense and found that no one was there.
Yingbao did not go in rashly, but went to the Treasure Pavilion to inquire.
The Treasure Pavilion is still there, and the shopkeeper is still the same one, but Mrs. Wang and her son are not here.
Yingbao did not introduce herself, but asked where the Jiang family was going.
The shopkeeper took a look at Yingbao and said, "It seems that the Jiang family has returned to the village. Their children do not have immortal fate, so they returned to the village after studying in the county for a few years and only come back when the beast tide comes."
Yingbao: "Thank you, shopkeeper. I have some spiritual medicine and monster materials here. Would you like to take them?"
The shopkeeper nodded: "Young brother, take it out and have a look."
Yingbao took out all the things he got in the Monster Forest and piled them up.
The shopkeeper asked two assistants to come and sort out the items, putting the useful items on one side and the unwanted items on the other. He counted on the abacus and said, "A total of five hundred and eighty spirit stones."
Yingbao: "Use these spirit stones to exchange for a magic circle and some spirit talismans."
"What kind of magic circle do you want to change, little brother? We have many kinds of talismans here, which one do you want to change?" asked the shopkeeper.
Yingbao named several things, and seeing that the spirit stones were not enough, she took out a few high-level spiritual medicines.
Afterwards, I bought some clothes, shoes, bedding, tents, pots, pans, and other daily necessities, as well as a lot of various spiritual seeds.
After more than a year in the forest, she had already figured out what she needed, so she bought them all this time.
If she had enough money, she would actually like to buy a spirit boat for transportation.
After leaving the county town, Yingbao went to Chen's house again and burned the place down.
Then we came to Jiangjia Village.
Hiding in the woods, watching her parents working in the fields from afar, Yingbao did not go over immediately.
It was not until dark, when all the villagers around had returned home and there was no one outside, that she slowly walked towards the Jiang family.
When I arrived at the Jiang family's door, I saw my parents cooking in the kitchen and my two younger brothers sitting beside them wiping their bows and arrows.
Yingbao suddenly didn't dare to go in, and just stood in the dark and watched them.
Chunniang seemed to realize something, put down the spatula and ran out of the house.
She was stunned when she saw a thin figure standing not far away.
She took a few steps forward and asked in a trembling voice, "Who?"
