Qin Yi’s body was submerged in the icy water, his hands bound by the Binding Divine Chain, his head slightly drooped, face deathly pale without a trace of blood.
Above the pool, several figures glared down at him viciously.
Wei Tianlai and others arrived.
"Kid, how does it feel?"
"Insignificant clown, this is the consequence of causing a ruckus in my Xuantian Royal Family."
"I bet this kid regrets it so much his guts are turning blue now."
Wei Tianlai and the others stared at the pitiful and tragic Qin Yi, mocking him to their hearts’ content.
Wei Tianlai’s old face was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with ferocity, "Pull the kid up, let those people below show him a good time, we must not waste the human punching bag the old Emperor presented us."
"Splash...!"
The iron chain tightened, and the two winches beside pulled Qin Yi out of the water.
Bloodied water streamed down Qin Yi’s body.
For more than ten hours, Qin Yi was soaked in the water, yet the bloodstains hadn’t faded.
Qin Yi’s head slumped, his breaths weak and feeble.
"Brother Wei, in such a state he won’t withstand a few punches, any more hits might be fatal."
A Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert spoke up.
He wasn’t worried about Qin Yi’s life, but feared angering the old Emperor, Qin Yi couldn’t die just yet.
Wei Tianlai’s eyes shimmered slightly, beckoning them to bring Qin Yi over.
The winch turned, dragging Qin Yi before Wei Tianlai.
Wei Tianlai grabbed Qin Yi’s hair, forcing him to lift his head.
Qin Yi’s face was ghastly pale, eyes tightly shut.
Wei Tianlai sneered disdainfully, "Kid, if you have guts, show your might again."
Qin Yi remained motionless, as if dead.
"Brother Wei, forget it! The kid is too severely injured, without cultivation, the wounds can’t heal, soaked a whole night in the pool, handing him over now could result in accidental death, we can’t explain that to the old Emperor."
One person finished speaking, another immediately followed, "I suggest, get a doctor to treat him first, once he’s mostly healed, then hand him over to vent Brother Wei’s anger."
Wei Tianlai laughed coldly, eyes malicious, "Our royal family’s doctors are all busy, they have no time to treat him, does he deserve it? Continue soaking him, as long as he’s breathing, that’s enough."
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Wei Tianlai gave Qin Yi two sharp slaps, making his face swell instantly.
Then, waving his hand.
With the clanking of iron chains, Qin Yi was dragged back into the water.
"Remember, this person’s body is tough, going without food for three to five days is fine."
Wei Tianlai looked at the dungeon’s disciples.
The two immediately understood, nodding quickly.
"Brother Wei, in such a state, not feeding him, could lead to his death."
Wei Tianlai laughed coldly, "It won’t, his body is unmatched, starving for a few days is fine. Anyway, as long as there’s a breath left, that’s enough."
Wei Tianlai glanced at Qin Yi, laughed disdainfully, and left with his people.
"Yesterday he was so aggressive; today he’s already subdued."
The Evil Lord’s voice echoed in Qin Yi’s mind.
Realizing everyone had left, Qin Yi slowly opened his eyes, gaze icy.
"If not for yesterday’s aggression, today I would be back to being a human punching bag."
The Evil Lord chuckled darkly, "Have you thought of a way out?"
Qin Yi’s face stiffened, he hadn’t.
His body trembled slightly, without cultivation to resist cold, soaked in this icy water all night, his skin had turned white.
But after a night, his powerful body’s ability to regenerate was astonishing, making the wounds nearly self-heal.
Only the broken bones couldn’t self-repair, he needed to align the fractured bones.
The veins on Qin Yi’s arms suddenly bulged, the chain binding his hands instantly stretched tight, creaking.
Qin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly.
The Binding Divine Chain sounds intimidating, but it’s not that secure, if he fights with all his might, he can break free.
But the question now is, after breaking free, what next?
His cultivation is sealed now, even if he escapes the Water Prison, he would be caught soon.
"Do you have a plan?"
Qin Yi asked the Evil Lord.
"Me?" The Evil Lord was silent for a moment, then in Qin Yi’s hopeful gaze, teasingly uttered two words: "No way!"
Qin Yi gritted his teeth.
He knew this old thing was waiting for him to die.
Only if he died, would this old ghost have a chance to escape.
Qin Yi slightly lowered his head, eyes flashing rapidly, contemplating a way out.
But thinking it over, in his current state, it’s tough to escape the royal family.
Unless the cultivation seal is lifted, he has a chance.
Suddenly, Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed, staring at the water below.
"What, did you think of a way?"
Qin Yi didn’t utter a word, staring fixatedly at the water, his eyes growing brighter.
"You wouldn’t really have thought of a way, would you?"
Qin Yi sneered, "Why, hoping for my death so soon?"
"No, no, if you think of a way, I’d be happy for you."
The Evil Lord said insincerely.
If Qin Yi really thought of a way to escape, he would adapt, otherwise after escaping, Qin Yi would surely burn him into oblivion.
Qin Yi sneered, then slowly closed his eyes.
"Hey, what way have you thought of? Tell me."
Qin Yi remained silent.
"Qin Yi, we’re in this together, if you thought of a way, share it, we can discuss."
Qin Yi continued ignoring him.
After dozens of hours, Qin Yi abruptly opened his eyes.
No daylight in the Water Prison, but judging by Wei Tianlai’s timing, it should be late night now.
Qin Yi’s muscles suddenly tensed, veins on his arms bulged, sweating heavily, his body shivering from the pain of unconnected fractures.
"Zing!"
"Zing!"
A light snap, the chains binding his hands snapped.
Clenching his teeth, Qin Yi swam to the shore and climbed up, gasping for air.
Breaking the chains just now nearly exhausted all his energy.
The chains snapped in the middle, leaving each of Qin Yi’s hands dragging a two-meter length of chain.
Qin Yi wound them around his arms, having no strength to break another.
"You’re not thinking of killing your way out, are you?" The Evil Lord asked restlessly.
Qin Yi said nothing, grabbing the broken bone, with a sickening crack... the sound of bone resetting made one’s teeth ache, Qin Yi grimaced in pain, cold sweat streaming, a muffled roar coming from his throat.
"You’re really harsh on yourself." The Evil Lord remarked sarcastically.
"I’m telling you, in your current state, trying to fight your way out is a foolish move, it’s too silly."
Qin Yi reset the bone, trembling all over with pain.
Broken tendons need cultivation to heal, which he cannot do now.
Qin Yi stood up, slowly creeping toward the Water Prison’s entrance.
