Who Let Him Cultivate?!

"Grandmaster, we've come to see you," said Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou with a smile as they looked at the Daoist Xiantian sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The light from the oil lamp cast their figures, making them look incredibly tall.

The Daoist Xiantian wore a confused expression as he looked at Lu Yang and the other, who had brought bedding with them.

We've only been apart for half an hour, haven't we? How did you manage to end up in the same cell as me so quickly?

Daoist Buyu was deeply touched, never expecting his dear disciples to worry so much about his life in prison that they made a special trip to live with him.

"This place is actually quite suitable for the two of you to cultivate," said Daoist Buyu seriously.

The array method in the prison could restrain spiritual essence, but Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou's cultivation level was too high, their foundations too solid. They couldn't be fully restrained. Cultivating in the prison was like martial artists training with weights. If they could adapt to this environment, it would be greatly beneficial to their future cultivation.

"There's such a good thing?" Lu Yang was delighted, believing that good people are rewarded.

"Your master isn't wrong about that," Fairy Eternity said.

At that moment, Lu Yang's spiritual space underwent a major transformation. A row of thick pillars divided his spiritual space in two. Lu Yang was on one side, and Fairy Eternity on the other.

Fairy Eternity, as the head of the family, was very righteous, adhering to the principle of sharing hardship. She had herself locked up in the cell, even donning tattered prison clothes, suffering alongside Lu Yang.

"...Wait, isn't your living environment a bit too nice, Fairy?"

Lu Yang looked at his own side, covered with straw for bedding, tattered clothes as a pillow, and shackles on his hands and feet.

On the other hand, Fairy Eternity had an expensive and soft bed, a wardrobe for her clothes, a tea table with chairs and a teapot, and on the walls hung paintings by Fairy Eternity. Chickens were pecking at bugs on the ground – it was a painting of the battle between dragons and phoenixes.

Plus, with the prison clothes Fairy Eternity was wearing, she looked more like a privileged prisoner enjoying life in the prison.

Whereas Lu Yang seemed like the powerless type, bullied by the head jailer.

"My body is delicate; how could I sleep on straw?"

"Go, go, go, cultivate. I've even suppressed your Spiritual Sense so that you can cultivate it along with your other skills," she said.

After being shackled, Lu Yang indeed felt that his Spiritual Sense wasn't as naturally manageable as before.

In reality, Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou sat cross-legged and cultivated according to the teachings of Daoist Buyu.

At the same time, Daoist Buyu, in order to temper the disciples' Daoist heart, continuously disturbed their cultivation by talking with the Daoist Xiantian.

Fortunately, both disciples had high cultivation talent and entered a meditative state quickly, unaffected by Daoist Buyu's interference.

Five days flew by, and Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou could both feel a slight improvement in their cultivation level. They believed that, without the suppression of the array, their control over spiritual essence would reach a new level.

Daoist Buyu found it strange to watch the two disciples with their mouths open wide, devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Is this the legendary innate Divine Ability of the Taotie Clan, Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth?"

"This is far more efficient than a Gathering Spirit Array, and you can cultivate anywhere, anytime."

The Gold Clan Leader looked baffled. Was the Taotie Clan's Devour the Sky and Swallow the Earth really like this? It didn't match what he had seen before.

Just as Daoist Buyu was about to have another chat with the Daoist Xiantian, his expression suddenly changed.

With a loud boom, the cell lid was flipped open as if it was merely a box. The inmates inside lifted their heads to gaze at the dark night sky and the menacing silhouette standing below it.

"Damn, it's an enemy attack!" The jailer's face changed drastically as he shouted. His whole being was alert, weapon in hand, as he flew into the sky and stared intently at the silhouette.

The figure, as if oblivious to the Nascent Soul Stage jailer, coldly scanned the prisoners.

The nearby residents lit their oil lamps and peered through their paper-covered windows, trembling as they debated whether to hide inside their houses or flee.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou broke from their meditative state and looked at the silhouette.

Not being able to sense the other party's cultivation level meant that the other was an Integration Period Cultivator!

"Where are the people from the Ruthless Sect?" the figure said coldly.

Prison break!

Lu Yang and the other were astonished; they hadn't expected the Ruthless Sect to be so audacious as to actually attempt a prison break.

The captives from the Ruthless Sect were held deep within the prison, far from where Lu Yang and the others were imprisoned.

The followers of the Ruthless Sect were heavy offenders, and those who wished to join the sect likewise had criminal records, closely guarded by the Ye City government office.

But no matter how closely they were guarded, it wouldn't be possible to stop an Integration Period Cultivator from breaking into the prison!

"Audacious villain, perform the Dance of Arms!"

The prison head roared furiously, brandishing his weapon. The gleaming weapon, extra blinding against the night sky, seemed like another streak of moonlight.

The Dance of Arms is a form of martial dance, created under the moonlight, and if performed at night, its power could double!

That shadowy figure didn't even spare a glance at the prison head, and casually caught the moonlight-like weapon with a raised hand. Using all his strength, the prison head couldn't make the weapon budge an inch.

"Boring."

He tossed the prison head away, weapon and all, with a flick of his hand, and extended a finger, shooting out a black light intended to pierce through the prison head!

Whoosh—

An eerie wind, seemingly from nowhere, scattered the black light.

"Who is it?"

The figure's eyes narrowed as a majestic Qiongqi appeared in the air, its eyes flashing a bloodthirsty red, each breath carrying coldness and murderous aura, exhibiting an ancient and terrifying power.

"Roar!!" The Gold Clan Leader bellowed, like the lion's roar from Buddhism, the roar shaking heaven and earth, shattering space.

"An Integration Period Qiongqi?" The shadowy figure furrowed his brow. The City Lord's cultivation level was only at the Void Refinement Stage; how could there be an Integration Period Qiongqi here?

The Gold Clan Leader's gaze was piercing as he looked at the shadowy figure, thinking that if he could capture this person, it would be a great achievement according to what his older brother had said!

"It seems you knew I was bored in the cell and specially came to entertain me!" The Gold Clan Leader didn't take the shadowy figure seriously at all. Unlike the Di Jiang Clan, known for their grace and dancing, their Qiongqi Clan had been renowned for their combat prowess since ancient times!

With a swipe of his massive tiger paw, the air suddenly filled with a tearing wind. The figure's eyes turned piercingly sharp, and with a light tap of his foot, he moved through the wind like a phantom, easily evading the attack.

"The Qiongqi Clan is nothing more than this." The figure sneered. Suddenly, as if sensing something, he looked down to find three claw marks appearing on his chest out of nowhere, blood flowing profusely.

"This is all the ability the Ruthless Sect has, no wonder they willingly accept being cuckolded." The Gold Clan Leader laughed boisterously and lunged at the figure again.

The shadowy figure seemed to be provoked by the Gold Clan Leader's words, or perhaps they had stirred some unpleasant memories; endless dark energy surged from his sleeves, turning into shadows of ghouls.

"Expel Ghost technique?" The Gold Clan Leader sneered, showing his snow-white tiger teeth. A gentle beat of his wings stirred the surrounding air currents, causing the shadows of ghouls to tremble, showing signs that they were about to go out of control.

"It seems our Qiongqi Clan rarely takes action, making the world forget our Ghoul method!"

At the mention of the Ghoul method, Lu Yang's eyes twitched slightly, recalling the reason he joined the Eternity Sect was to eliminate a Tiger Demon proficient in the Ghoul method.

"No, the Ruthless Sect shouldn't be here to rescue anyone," muttered Daoist Buyu, frowning. From what he knew about the Ruthless Sect, rescuing people had no benefits for them.

Moreover, in the Great Xia, dragons hid amongst men, and towns that seemed to lack powerful figures could actually harbor hidden experts like the current situation. They were not only unable to rescue anyone but were also at risk of losing themselves.

Daoist Buyu spread his Spiritual Sense to search for anomalies in Ye City, and suddenly his expression stiffened, transforming into a sword light and shooting straight for the City Lord's mansion.

"Not good, something's happening at the City Lord's mansion!"
