Chapter 130: Eating the Goodwill of the Leader
Chapter 130: Eating the Goodwill of the Leader
If it were someone else, how could they easily show their magic weapon to others?
But Xing Shanping was different. He had no suspicion or worry that Tian Lin had any ulterior motives.
He just clapped his right hand and a rope appeared in his hand.
He threw the rope casually, and it passed through the gap in the iron bars and landed lightly on Tian Lin's wooden bed.
Tian Lin picked up the ten-foot-long rope, pulled it hard at first, then took out his flying sword and poked it.
Xing Shanping next door didn't know what Tian Lin wanted to see, so he said casually:
"There are five Immortal Binding Ropes in total. Two are in our Yaoyue Sect, and one is in the Wenxin Sect. In addition, the Baisheng Sect and the Qi Sect originally had one each, but they were cut off in a battle."
"What about the severed Immortal Binding Rope?"
Tian Lin asked, and Xing Shanping said, "The Immortal Binding Rope can only be used to restrain disciples at the Qi Refining stage. It has no other uses. It is not a great treasure. Who cares about the broken rope?"
Tian Lin felt that the origin of the Immortal Binding Rope might not be that simple, otherwise the old man from the Sancai Pavilion would not have been so surprised.
But he also knew that even if the Immortal Binding Rope had any secrets, it was not something Xing Shanping could know.
He couldn't figure out the secret of the rope in his hand, so he could only return Xing Shanping's Immortal Binding Rope.
At this time, the only sound in the cave was dripping water, and occasionally one or two painful howls from someone unknown.
Xing Shanping is not a talkative person, and the same is true for Tian Lin.
I don't know how long it was before Tian Lin, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the sound of knocking on iron.
He stood up from the wooden board and opened his eyes to look at Shang Yu outside the iron gate.
Then Shang Yu sneered, "You are sleeping soundly. If you don't know, you might think that we, the Law Enforcement Hall, invited you here to rest up."
Tian Lin stretched himself and said with a smile:
"Brother Shang, don't tell me. Maybe it's because I've been practicing in Daoshan for too long. I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time. When I woke up, I felt refreshed."
"Let me see how stubborn you can be."
After Shang Yu finished speaking, he asked Tian Lin:
"Tell me, when did Elder Liu teach you the art of questioning the mind? What did he tell you? Where is he now? Tell me all this and I will let you out immediately."
“My master has taught me the art of mind-searching for quite some time, and he hasn’t told me anything, so it’s even more impossible for me to know where he is.
Brother Shang, do you really think that someone like my master would tell me secrets that I shouldn't know?
You know that this is not going to happen, so don't waste your energy."
Shang Yu had a blank expression on his face, and Tian Lin didn't know what Shang Yu was thinking.
At this moment, Xing Shanping in the next room suddenly stood up:
"I thought Junior Brother Tian had done something wrong, so you arrested him. It turns out you just wanted to use Junior Brother Tian to persecute the Great Elder."
As he spoke, Xing Shanping had already stood up and walked to the iron gate in a few steps, and scolded Shang Yu:
"Shang Yu, I was blind when I asked you to be the law enforcement disciple of the peak. Now the law enforcement hall has fallen into your hands, and it has become a tool for you to persecute the virtuous.
Think about the sect rules and the law enforcement rules of the Law Enforcement Hall. Aren't you afraid that the Law Enforcement Hall will be destroyed in your hands?"
Shang Yu was stunned, and Tian Lin was also a little surprised.
Shang Yu came here to warn Tian Lin, but he didn't expect that before he could even attack, he was scolded by Xing Shanping.
However, this is not the end.
As Xing Shanping moved, his handcuffs and shackles rattled.
Xing Shanping was seen grabbing the iron fence again. The iron fence, which was as thick as his arm, showed signs of deformation as he pulled it.
Shang Yu frowned and scolded, "Senior Brother Xing, you, the former deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall, are you going to lead the prison break?"
Such words wouldn't scare a normal person, but they scare Xing Shanping.
Xing Shanping stopped shaking the iron bars and shouted at Shang Yu through the iron cell door: "Go and call the headmaster. I want to ask him what he wants to do and why he is so persistent in persecuting the great elder!"
Shang Yu looked a little unhappy. He ignored Xing Shanping and turned to warn Tian Lin:
"Junior Brother Tian, you have an extraordinary talent for cultivation, why don't you spare your life? I advise you to explain everything honestly and don't make mistakes."
Seeing that Tian Lin still had no comment, he lost interest in chatting with Tian Lin and just told Zhao Si who followed him:
"Guard the cave well. If anyone comes to visit, do not let them get close to the fields and forests."
Zhao Si immediately bent his waist and said to Shang Yu, "Master Shang, don't worry. I will make sure no one can get close to Tian."
While talking, Zhao Si happily saw Shang Yu off and came back after a while.
"It's true that things change over time. Junior Brother Zhao, you are now valued more and more by Senior Brother Shang."
Tian Lin had sat back on his bed in the prison, looking at Zhao Si outside the iron gate with a smile.
But Zhao Si bowed his head and was very polite to the prisoner Tian Lin:
"It is all thanks to you, Senior Brother Tian, that I can have the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining today. In fact, what Hall Master Shang said is right. Senior Brother Tian, you are very talented and have a bright future. Why do you have to suffer for Elder Liu?"
Tian Lin asked him, "Were you sent by Senior Brother Shang to persuade me?"
Zhao Si hurriedly said, "Brother Tian, you misunderstood. Even Hall Master Shang couldn't do it, so how could I be capable of that?
Don't think of me as the disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall who is guarding you. Just think of me as the junior brother who serves you in the Mining Academy.
If you want anything to eat or drink, just tell me to do it. Don't hesitate."
Tian Lin was speechless for a moment. He didn't know why Shang Yu let Zhao Si guard him for no reason.
But from what Zhao Si said, it didn't seem like he was coming here to be in jail, but rather to be "honored".
"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother Zhao."
Tian Lin said this casually and walked slowly to the iron gate where he was imprisoned.
He had just seen Xing Shanping bend the iron gate with just his bare hands, and he was somewhat horrified.
Because when he entered the iron prison, he had tested the hardness of the prison.
At that time, Tian Lin felt that this iron bar seemed to be specially used to imprison cultivators. Its material seemed to be somewhat special, not made of ordinary fine steel or iron.
Sure enough, Tian Lin grabbed the prison door with both hands and tried to circulate his true energy.
But he discovered that when he circulated his true energy into his palms, the iron pillars of the prison door would absorb the true energy he injected like living things.
Once the true energy dissipated, Tian Lin could no longer use it to twist the iron gate.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the iron gate at all.
"What is Junior Brother Tian doing?"
Xing Shanping from the next room suddenly asked. Tian Lin turned around and looked at Xing Shanping with some doubt.
He took another look at the door of the iron prison where Xing Shanping was. The iron door still remained bent in the same state as when Xing Shanping broke into it.
"Brother is really born with supernatural powers. He can even bend this iron door."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, Xing Shanping said calmly: "This is nothing. When you have the same level of cultivation as me, you will be able to do this easily."
He didn't know that Tian Lin was a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. After all, Tian Lin's cultivation speed was too fast.
Tian Lin didn't believe that his strength was so much weaker than Xing Shanping's.
He slapped his storage bag, and the flying sword was instantly released by Tian Lin.
There was a ding sound, and sparks instantly flew off the iron gate, while Tian Lin's flying sword was knocked away.
Zhao Si, who was not far away and wanted to turn a blind eye, couldn't help it and said to Tian Lin in a pleading tone:
"Brother Tian, you should take a rest. If Master Shang is summoned soon, I won't be able to explain to him."
Tian Lin put away his sword and looked at Xing Shanping again. Xing Shanping also stood up in surprise: "Your iron cage seems different from mine."
As soon as Xing Shanping finished speaking, a figure slowly walked into the cave.
Tian Lin bowed and addressed him as "Master". Xing Shanping looked at the man and shouted, "Xing Tongtian, you finally agreed to see me."
Xing Tongtian ignored Xing Shanping and turned to ask Zhao Si, "Who ordered Tian Lin and Xing Shanping to be locked up together?"
As he was speaking, footsteps were heard in the cave, and Shang Yu was seen approaching from afar.
"Shang Yu, were you the one who locked Tian Lin and your Senior Brother Xing together?"
Before Shang Yu could even open his mouth, he was slapped in the face.
Xing Tongtian's movements were so swift that no one present could see his movements clearly.
Tian Lin only heard the crisp sound of a slap, and then saw Shang Yu's face was swollen, and he knew that he had been beaten by Xing Tongtian.
Tian Lin himself was somewhat surprised. He had not expected that testing the iron cage with a flying sword would attract Xing Tongtian.
What he didn't expect was that after he entered the dungeon, Shang Yu got ahead of him and ate it twice.
"I think that Tian Lin is an inner sect disciple after all. Even if he is punished, it is not appropriate to place him in such a filthy and vulgar place.
It just so happened that the area near Senior Brother Xing's cell was relatively clean, so I took the initiative to arrange for Tian Lin to be there."
After Shang Yu finished speaking, Xing Tongtian sneered:
"I advise you to put away those little tricks. If I see you doing these little tricks next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Xing Tongtian turned around and left, but after taking only two steps, he said to Zhao Si, "Put Xing Shanping in another cell. From now on, you will be in charge of Xing Shanping."
Zhao Si had never spoken to Xing Tongtian before, and this was the first time he received the "inquiry" from the headmaster, and he was quite flattered.
But he was not so foolish as to go up and flatter him. After all, Shang Yu had just received two slaps in the face.
"Disciple obeys your command. I will immediately transfer Senior Brother Xing to another cell."
Zhao Si bent his waist ninety degrees, but when he stood up again, where was Xing Tongtian's back?
At this time, the only voice in the cave was Xing Shanping's loud voice, shouting that he wanted to argue with Xing Tongtian. Apart from that, the cave seemed exceptionally quiet.
"Master Shang - which room should we place Senior Brother Xing in?"
Zhao Si didn't dare to act on his own and walked bravely to Shang Yu's side.
Shang Yu took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Brother Xing, please go to Room Mao in the cave."
Zhao Si listened to this, thought about it, and said:
"Room Mao is too big, and there are more than a dozen blood cultists captured from outside living in it. These blood cultists are corrupt and not kind people.
But Senior Brother Xing is a very upright person, and he hates those who do evil things. I'm afraid Senior Brother Xing doesn't like being with them."
Shang Yu heard this and said, "Take those dozen people out and kill them, and the house will be empty. If you want to be the deputy head of the Law Enforcement Hall in the future, you must learn to make decisions."
Zhao Si's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Master, please don't speak nonsense. I am loyal to you and have no intention of coveting the position of hall master."
Shang Yu waved his hand and sent Zhao Si away.
After Zhao Si took Xing Shanping away, he walked up to Tian Lin and looked at him coldly:
"Junior Brother Tian, you are really troublesome. You caused me trouble so early in the morning."
Tian Lin smiled: "Brother, don't say that. I didn't expect that this iron prison was specially designed for me. I just don't know if this iron prison can trap a Qi Refiner, but can it trap a Foundation Establisher?"
Shang Yu said: "It is impossible to trap him, but as long as we can keep him for a moment, he will be unable to escape even if he has wings."
After Shang Yu finished speaking, he threw the handkerchief he was using to wipe the blood onto the ground, then turned and left.
This time the cave was completely restored to peace.
Tian Lin turned around and touched the iron door of his prison.
There were traces of friction from a flying sword on it, but those sword marks were insignificant to the iron pillar as thick as an arm.
Even a flying sword couldn't cut it, which shows how tough this iron prison is.
He used the earth escape technique again and soon found the iron bars blocking the way half a foot underground.
Obviously, once you enter this iron prison, it is not easy to break in by violence.
In order to avoid running out of energy and being trapped underground, Tian Lin did not explore underground for too long.
He emerged from the ground again, just as the sound of footsteps was heard.
A red-robed monk whom Tian Lin did not recognize came over, shook the key in his hand, looked at Tian Lin coldly and said:
"I'll be watching you from now on, so you'd better be more self-aware."
This disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall was obviously not as easy to talk to as Zhao Si, but Tian Lin didn't care about this person's attitude towards him.
In fact, he was certain that the key in the Law Enforcement Hall disciple's hand was not enough to open his cell door.
Tian Lin had no idea whether Shang Yu had other intentions in sending Zhao Si to guard him.
The only thing that is certain is that if someone really comes to jailbreak, Zhao Si will probably be in great danger.
But, will anyone really come to jailbreak?
"How could someone like Elder Liu care about my life or death? I think Shang Yu and Sect Leader Xing must be overthinking."
