Chapter 531: Past Life Extra Story Seven_1
Upon learning that his young disciple had been taken away by the Chen Family, Wei Qi immediately set off to her rescue with his guards.
However, before he could leave the courtyard, his mother stopped him: “Qi’er, don’t act rashly.”
“Why? Aren’t you the most powerful, Mother? Why did you let them take Yingbao away?” Wei Qi burst into tears.
Wang Jin slowly approached her son, patted his shoulder and said, “Two Core Formation cultivators have been sent by the Chen Family from Vermilion Bird City, all for Yingbao. I can’t beat them.”
Crying with hiccups, Wei Qi struggled to leave: “Those villains! I must save Yingbao!”
Wang Jin sighed and held her son, comforting him: “I’ve heard that they are taking Yingbao to Vermilion Bird City. They must love her talent so much that they want to train her. How about we go to Vermilion Bird City too?”
“Really?” Wei Qi wiped his tears and runny nose with his sleeve, his eyes brightened: “Can I still see her? Will she still be my disciple?”
Wang Jin nodded slightly: “The Chen Family is also a great clan. After we get there, we must investigate slowly and not act impulsively.”
Wei Qi pouted, but the tears fell uncontrollably.
He felt a sense of unease, feeling that he would never see Yingbao again.
Over the past three years, he had raised his young disciple with many high-level spiritual medicines. Now, his disciple had been snatched away in an instant. If he had known this would happen, he would rather take Yingbao away to Qinglong City or somewhere far away.
Not long afterwards, Yingbao was locked in a sealed cage and taken to Vermilion Bird City.
But even after arriving there, she was not let out. Instead, she was imprisoned within a huge cave.
The cave was filled with numerous black iron cages, and strange demonic beasts were locked in each of them.
Most of the demonic beasts exhibited signs of intelligence and looked at her indifferently. They watched as a group of cultivators surrounded her, cutting away her flesh and bleeding her, and then forced her to swallow various medicinal herbs.
From then on, the cultivators of the Chen Family would cut some flesh from Yingbao every few days. Once, they even split open her abdomen, searching for any treasures hidden within her body.
This time, Yingbao nearly died and fell into a coma for a whole month.
The Chen Family, afraid to lose the source of this supply of flesh, finally dared not slice open her abdomen again.
As days passed, Yingbao learned to endure and began to find ways to please others.
One day, after another round of bleeding, a young girl came to feed her.
With her hands trembling, she fed Yingbao, who was covered in blood, and asked: “Yingbao, does it hurt?”
Yingbao lifted her eyes to look at her, remaining silent.
With tears streaming down her face, the girl asked, “What…what do I need to do to kill you?”
Yingbao watched her silently: “I don’t want to die.” How could she die when her vengeance remained unfulfilled?
The girl fed her the last spoonful of food and stumbled out of the cave.
Yingbao lowered her head to look at the feeding bowl left on the ground, and picked it up.
There was a faint rune on the bottom of the bowl, barely noticeable unless looked at carefully.
She kept the bowl in her Divine Mansion and studied the Rune carefully.
It resembled the rune on her wrist, but was different in some ways.
Yingbao tried to comprehend the rune and compared it with the Binding Soul Lock on her wrist.
This could be an unlocking rune, but she didn’t know how to unlock it.
As a result, Yingbao spent her free time meditating in her Divine Mansion, trying to decipher the Rune. This took quite a while.
There was no day or night in the cave, but there were Sunlight Stones. People would come and replace them after a certain period of time.
Yingbao meticulously kept track of the times they replaced the Sunlight Stones, trying to estimate how long she had been in the cave.
Three years? Or five?
Finally, one day, she unraveled the rune and applied it on the Binding Soul Lock on her wrist.
With a click, the Binding Soul Lock on her wrist unlocked. The long-absent spiritual energy slowly seeped into her body.
Overjoyed, Yingbao was about to celebrate when she thought of the impending arrival of the people from the Chen Family. She quickly locked the Binding Soul Lock again.
Every time the Chen Family left, she would unlock the Binding Soul Lock and move around in the cave, allowing the spiritual energy to circulate throughout her body.
The demonic beasts silently watched her without making a sound.
Yingbao whispered to them, “When I become more powerful, I’ll take you all out with me.”
The eyes of the demonic beasts brightened, and they nodded in agreement.
On one occasion, after unlocking the Binding Soul Lock on her wrist and ankle, Yingbao opened her cage, went over to the cages of the demonic beasts, took out spiritual medicine from her Divine Mansion and gave it to them, helping them replenish their spiritual power.
One of the beasts watched her for a long time before suddenly spitting out a Demon Core and pushing it towards Yingbao.
Yingbao knew what it meant. It wanted her to absorb the Demon Core to boost her cultivation base.
For the sake of escaping, she didn’t refuse and accepted the Demon Core.
