Villain: The old man has done good deeds all his life, and helped justice

In the prison cell filled with torture devices, Lin Ping'an was bound to a rack, unable to maintain a calm expression on his face.

His eyes were filled with panic and he anxiously looked around.

He had been sending out distress signals for several minutes now, and Su Ying should have appeared by now.

"Master, what are you doing? Why haven't you come to save me?" Lin Ping'an felt extremely anxious.

He caught sight of the young man in charge picking up a long whip with iron spikes.

"What are you planning to do?"

Lin Ping'an shouted angrily, pretending to remain calm, but his heart was in a state of panic.

He was familiar with these torture devices, which were specifically designed to deal with Third Grade Spiritual Weapon practitioners.

A single lash from them could cause even a Soul Formation Realm cultivator to suffer severe injuries.

"What are we planning to do? Hahaha."

The young man in charge laughed sinisterly, his expression somewhat malicious.

"Forgot to tell you, my name is Li Zebiao."

"What? Li Zebing is related to you?"

Lin Ping'an's face changed, instantly recalling a wastrel he had crippled in the past.

"He is my younger brother."

Li Zebiao grinned, infusing his true essence into the whip. The whip quickly turned red and emitted scorching heat.

"Oh, that waste is your brother."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Lin Ping'an felt relieved.

What he feared the most was being targeted by some powerful figure in the sect.

Now, it seemed that Li Zebiao had captured him only to seek revenge for his brother.

If that was the case, things would be different.

With the Elder's favor towards Sun Wenyue, once he found out, he would definitely come to rescue her and incidentally save him as well.

Thinking this way, Lin Ping'an's expression returned to calmness as he calmly said,

"Li Zebing oppressed the disciples, and I crippled him. He deserved it."

"Li Zebiao, I am a disciple of the Sect Master. If you have any sense, release me immediately, or else once the Master finds out, he will never let you off."

"Is that so?"

Li Zebiao's face showed a mocking expression.

If it were before, he really wouldn't dare to touch Lin Ping'an.

But now, he is following the orders of the sect master and is going to teach Lin Ping'an a lesson.

"Of course, even if I am useless, I am still a disciple of the sect master. Venerable cannot be insulted," Lin Ping'an said calmly.

Seeing Lin Ping'an's indifferent expression, Li Zebiao became furious and sneered.

"You really know how to pretend, huh? I hope you can still pretend later."

After saying that, he mercilessly whipped Lin Ping'an.

With a crack, Lin Ping'an's clothes tore, but his skin remained unharmed.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Li Zebiao was stunned, then stared at Lin Ping'an's skin.

Even the iron whip that can leave wounds on someone in the Soul Formation Realm didn't harm Lin Ping'an at all.

Just how strong is Lin Ping'an's physical body?

"KR..."

Lin Ping'an's pupils contracted as he looked at Li Zebiao in disbelief.

He never expected that one day he would be whipped by an ant.

Lin Ping'an was shocked and angry.

This whip from Li Zebiao exposed the strength of his physical body.

The three months of cultivation that he had painstakingly hidden had been exposed by an ant.

Thinking about the consequences of his cultivation being exposed, Lin Ping'an's scalp exploded.

Lu Chuanxiong would definitely not let him off, right?

After all, Lu Chuanxiong even sold his own daughter, let alone a disciple.

The more Lin Ping'an thought about it, the more regretful he became. If he had known, he wouldn't have attended the gathering.

How nice would it be to honestly hide in the Cave Mansion and cultivate?

"So, you have been hiding your cultivation."

Li Zebiao's gaze flickered.

No wonder the sect master asked him to thoroughly check Lin Ping'an's cultivation level.

Search to see if Lin Ping'an has any treasures.

At that time, he didn't believe it and thought the Patriarch was overthinking. After all, what could a waste like Lin Ping'an be capable of?

Now it seems that Lin Ping'an may have obtained some astonishing opportunity, which has caught the attention of the Patriarch.

Thinking of this, Li Zebiao's cultivation at the Fetal Origin Ninth Heaven realm erupted.

The iron whip in his hand rang out, and the sharp iron spikes emitted a piercing screech.

Snap!

Even with his cultivation sealed, Lin Ping'an, with his Desolate Ancient Saint Body, couldn't withstand Li Zebiao's full force lashes.

Instantly, his skin cracked open, and fresh red blood flowed, carrying a hint of golden light.

"Stop!"

Lin Ping'an's eyes turned bloodshot, wishing he could tear Li Zebiao apart.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

"Haha, waste, keep pretending, keep pretending. Watch me beat you to death."

Li Zebiao relentlessly lashed out, determined to not stop until Lin Ping'an was dead.

"Ah... you... me..."

Lin Ping'an's face twisted, feeling a wave of shame spreading in his heart.

Just now, he was still standing tall, with his hands behind his back, looking down on these ants.

But in an instant, he was beaten to a pulp.

"Li Zebiao has gone mad! Stop him quickly, or if anything happens to me, the Sect Master will never let you off!"

Lin Ping'an roared angrily at the other people.

He stared at them intently, memorizing their appearances.

He secretly vowed that once he got out, he would crush these people to dust.

"Hahaha!"

"You waste, you're about to die and you still don't realize it."

The others laughed heartily, picked up their instruments of torture, and walked up to Lin Ping'an with mocking expressions.

"I've tolerated you for a long time. Now that you've fallen into our hands, don't even think about leaving."

"Biao, take a rest first. Let us dismantle a few of his bones."

"Yeah, this waste has hidden too deeply. He actually possesses a powerful special physique. If we don't cripple him today, he will surely seek revenge in the future."

"Okay, make sure your hands and feet are clean, don't leave any possibility for his recovery."

"Don't worry."

Listening to the conversation of the few people, Lin Ping'an instantly understood.

Li Zebiao is not crazy at all, he is clearly following Lu Chuanxiong's orders.

No wonder these people dare to capture Sun Wenyue.

"|||......"

Lin Ping'an didn't have time to think too much. His bones were forcefully twisted, causing him excruciating pain, his eyes bulging and veins popping.

At this moment, his body was bleeding profusely, his chest was cut open, and his ribs were forcefully twisted by several people.

It's too miserable.

"Damn, what kind of physique does this waste have? I'm at the Fifth Heaven of the Fetal Origin Realm, and I can't even break his bones."

"I don't know, the situation is serious."

The few people panicked. They originally thought it was an easy task, not only to teach Lin Ping'an a lesson, but also to leave an impression in the mind of the sect master.

Now that they see how extraordinary Lin Ping'an is, if they let him leave unharmed, will they still have a way out in the future?

"Stop, stop it right now."

Lin Ping'an roared in frustration, his eyes filled with a chilling killing intent.

He activated his cultivation technique, trying to break free from the restraints.

A mere Third Grade Spiritual Weapon cannot hold him back.

But what's the use of breaking free from the restraints?

There are many Soul Formation Realm experts stationed in the prison, and there is also an elder from the Empty Void Realm.

Moreover, the sect is filled with powerful individuals. Even if he escapes from the prison, can he escape from the sect?

"Master, Master, where are you? Please come and save me."

Lin Ping'an thought of the only person who could save him, his gentle and beautiful master.

However, why hasn't his master come yet?

Could it be that his master was stopped by Lu Chuanxiong?

Thinking of this, Lin Ping'an's expression changed drastically.

If he stays here any longer, he will probably become disabled, if not dead.

Why not give it a try and escape from the prison, and flee to Master's residence?

With this thought, Lin Ping'an's eyes turned cold, and he activated the Saint Level technique.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The runes sealed within his body instantly shattered, breaking the shackles.

"Die!"

Lin Ping'an emerged like an evil spirit crawling out of a blood sea, his expression ferocious and twisted.

Grabbing someone's head, he instantly crushed it. Unable to kill Li Zebiao, he quickly used his body technique to escape.

If he lingered for a moment longer, his life could be lost here.

Lin Ping'an wanted to jump out of Tianxing before the prison formation closed.

"Quick, chase..."

"Inform Elder Qin."

Li Zebiao was shocked and angry.

He didn't expect Lin Ping'an's physique to be so terrifying that even a Third Grade Spiritual Weapon couldn't restrain him.

"Grand Elder, why did Tao stop me?"

"Elder Qin, you can eat things randomly, but you can't speak randomly."

"Hmph, this is the Master's order. I advise you not to meddle."

Qin Yushan snorted coldly and chased after him.

"Grandfather, why does the Master want to capture Senior Brother Lin?"

Sun Wenyue stomped her feet anxiously.

"Who knows."

"Then, grandfather, please go and save Senior Brother Lin."

"You..."

"Master, save me!"

Lin Ping'an's figure was as fast as lightning, and within a breath or two, he arrived at Su Ying's mountain peak.

Lu Lengxuan, who was practicing outside the palace, stopped his cultivation and looked up, his face slightly changed.

"Senior Brother Lin."

"Sister, where is Master?"

Lin Ping'an stopped in his tracks and asked urgently, "She, she's refining pills."

Lu Lengxuan's eyes flickered, and he anxiously glanced at the palace.

"Refining pills?" Lin Ping'an's face stiffened.

He had thought that his master had been stopped by Lu Chuanxiong and hadn't come to save him.

But it turned out to be because she was refining pills?

Could it be that refining pills were more important than his life?

"Lin Ping'an, how dare you escape, you have quite the audacity," came the voice of Qin Yushan before he arrived.

Accompanying him was a large handprint, directly capturing Lin Ping'an...

"Elder Qin."

Lin Ping'an's face changed drastically, without time to think, he instinctively wanted to escape.

But under the envelopment of Qin Yushan's handprint, he couldn't even move.

The terrifying power emanating from the handprint made his bones creak and crack.

"Damn it, move!"

Lin Ping'an's gums bled, and the surging blood and qi in his body burst out, his cultivation fully unleashed, trying to break free from Qin Yushan's restraint.

However, it was all in vain.

Qin Yushan was at the Empty Void Realm Ninth Heaven, the difference between them was too great, Lin Ping'an had no resistance at all.

With a bang, Lin Ping'an was squeezed in the palm of Qin Yushan's hand.

"Wait, why does Elder Qin want to capture Senior Brother Lin?" Lu Lengxuan asked.

She looked at Lin Ping'an with a puzzled gaze.

The aura that Lin Ping'an had just erupted with was at the Fetal Origin Realm Third Heaven.

And judging from its power, it was definitely not weaker than the Heavenly Realm Ninth Heaven.

Wasn't Lin Ping'an supposed to be useless?

How could he have the strength of a peerless genius?

Lu Lengxuan's eyes gradually became gloomy.

After experiencing the matter of having his bones dug out, she had seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Now, I maintain a vigilant attitude towards everyone.

Even Lin Ping'an, whom I have a good impression of, is no exception.

Lu Lengxuan instantly thought of Wang Lin's words.

Lin Ping'an is indeed not honest and has concealed their cultivation history.

So, what is Lin Ping'an's purpose in approaching me and my daughter?

"Lin Ping'an has violated the rules and secretly harmed Liu Pengcheng, breaking the rules of the sect."

Qin Yushan, who was about to leave, stopped and pondered for a moment before explaining.

Lu Lengxuan frowned and continued to ask.

"Is that so, Senior Lin?"

"Of course not. It was Liu Pengcheng who broke the rules first. I just used his own methods against him."

Lin Ping'an said while spitting blood.

"Hmph, with witnesses and evidence, do you dare to talk back?"

Qin Yushan wouldn't let him off easily and immediately exerted force, causing Lin Ping'an's bones to crack.

"Ah...!"

Lin Ping'an screamed in pain, tears streaming down his face.

"Elder Qin, please hold on."

Lu Lengxuan hesitated for a moment, looked at Lin Ping'an, and asked seriously.

"Why did you hide your cultivation?"

Whether Lin Ping'an violated the rules or not is not important. What she urgently wants to know now is why Lin Ping'an hid their cultivation.

Is there another purpose for approaching her and her daughter?

"Uh, Junior Sister, I have my reasons, but now is not the time to talk about this. Please ask Elder Qin to let go of me first, and I will explain to you later."

Lin Ping'an was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"I want to hear your explanation now."

Lu Lengxuan's face turned cold.

From Lin Ping'an's words, she sensed a conspiracy.

Lin Ping'an's approach to her and her daughter probably has undisclosed motives.

"Junior sister, you... you actually don't trust me?"

Lin Ping'an's heart was somewhat shattered.

He felt that Lu Lengxuan at this moment was somewhat unfamiliar.

He had been tormented like this, and Lu Lengxuan not only didn't help him, but also forced him to reveal his secret.

Was she doubting his intentions?

Didn't Lu Lengxuan know how much Spirit Medicine he had put in the porridge for her injuries?

Lin Ping'an felt his heart grow cold.

"If you don't want to say, then forget it. From now on, you are not allowed to approach the 'Su Xia' Peak."

Lu Lengxuan fell silent for a moment, shook her head, and returned to the large stone at the entrance, continuing her meditation and cultivation.

She was now certain that Lin Ping'an's approach to her and her mother was definitely purposeful.

But all of this was no longer important.

Based on their past relationship, Lu Lengxuan didn't want to pursue it any further.

Anyway, she would soon leave the Heavenly Sword Sect with Su Ying, and would never have any contact with the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect again in this lifetime.

"U"

Lin Ping'an's eyes widened, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

He never expected Lu Lengxuan to be so heartless and ruthless.

"Desolate Ancient Saint Body?"

At this moment, an old voice sounded, tinged with surprise.

"Greetings, Elder."

Qin Yushan's face changed, quickly putting down Lin Ping'an and bowing respectfully.

"Very good, it really is the Desolate Ancient Saint Body."

Cao Ke appeared in front of Lin Ping'an, his eyes shining, his expression excited.

The Desolate Ancient Saint Body is a Twelve Star talent. Those who possess this talent not only have unparalleled aptitude, but also great luck.

In the future, their lowest achievement would be the Saint Realm. Their Heavenly Sword Sect has produced a true dragon.

"Disciple Lin Ping'an pays respects to the Elder."

Lin Ping'an instantly realized that this might be his only lifeline.

He quickly got up, bowed respectfully, and calmly said.
