Leaving Yun Mengyao's Cave Dwelling, Yun Sheng covered his face, his teeth clenched.

"It's all that bastard surnamed Lu! If it weren't for him, I would never have suffered this humiliation today."

Just as his voice fell, several deep bell tolls suddenly echoed from deep within the sect.

Yun Sheng couldn't help but frown.

"This is... the alarm bell of Cliffless Cave? Someone escaped?"

Without hesitation, he quickly rushed down the mountain to check the situation.

Cliffless Cave was where the sect imprisoned disciples who had committed grave errors and captured martial artists from other sects. An alarm bell at this time must mean someone had escaped.

He wondered if he could earn some contribution points to exchange for some pills and Spirit Stones.

At this moment, the entire mountain was in chaos, with everyone trying to capture the escaping martial artists.

Normally, sect missions were infrequent, and contribution points weren't earned every day. Now that there was finally an opportunity, how could they let it slip away?

But just as Yun Sheng arrived in a small grove at the foot of the mountain, a strong gust of wind struck him from behind, kicking him heavily to the ground!

Bang—!

The next moment, several powerful presences immediately pinned him down.

"Mercy, good sirs, mercy!"

At the brink of death, Yun Sheng was so scared that he immediately begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Old Qian, don't kill him yet. We need someone to lead the way so we can escape the vast mountains of the Divine Water Sect and return to the Heavenly Martial Sect!"

Hearing the words 'Heavenly Martial Sect', Yun Sheng's eyes instantly lit up. Could they be the high-ranking members of the Black Lotus Society supported by the Heavenly Martial Sect?

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke:

"So it's the good sirs of the Black Lotus Society. I have a secret to tell you all. I know who exposed your information, which led to you being captured by the Divine Water Sect."

The few people sneered.

"What trick are you trying to pull?"

"This humble one is not trying to pull any tricks. I truly want to tell you all, because I also have a grudge against that kid. If you sirs can kill him, you can vent your anger and also vent mine. After this, I will also give you a safe escape route map."

"Why should we believe you?"

"Good sirs, the person who harmed you is named Lu Wangchuan. He is a third-generation new disciple of the Divine Water Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. When you were captured today, Elder Cheng Yunxiao of the Law Enforcement Hall publicly announced this in front of many disciples. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone."

The few people exchanged glances.

"His life is in our hands. We doubt he would dare to lie to us. Let's grab someone to check. If it's really as he says, we'll kill that kid first to vent our anger!"

"Right! He caused our Black Lotus Society to lose so many brothers, we absolutely cannot let him off!"

On Lu Wangchuan's side, after returning to his Cave Dwelling, he had been cultivating.

Even the eighth layer of the Azure Emperor Longevity Art would take several days to digest a Divine Blood Pill, but the combination of cultivation technique and pill yielded at least two hundred points of vital energy daily, which was a very significant income.

The stronger the vital energy, the higher the cultivation technique level would be, the faster the cultivation speed, and the stronger he would become!

He had heard the commotion within the sect but paid it no mind.

This was the Divine Water Sect's main base; experts were as numerous as clouds. Those small fry couldn't stir up any waves. There was no need to waste time for a few contribution points.

But just as he thought he could remain aloof and cultivate peacefully, he felt several presences quietly enter the cave entrance.

Lu Wangchuan opened his eyes in the darkness, a sharp glint revealing itself within.

Someone had come? These presences carried a hint of killing intent; they were definitely not disciples of this sect.

But... why would these people coincidentally come to his Cave Dwelling?

Lu Wangchuan wouldn't believe that he was blessed with luck, that even if he didn't want contribution points, heaven would send them to him.

While he was still puzzled, the other party had already attacked with a sword.

The lowest cultivation of these few people was Source Opening, and the strongest had even broken through the Dantian Realm, already reaching Great Accomplishment in the Physical Body Realm!

Their speed was like lightning, their strength like a giant elephant.

In just an instant, they arrived before Lu Wangchuan.

"It's done."

The corner of the opponent's mouth lifted, as if he had already seen Lu Wangchuan's chest being pierced by his sword.

Lu Wangchuan neither dodged nor evaded, letting the opponent's sword come before him. Seeing the sword tip only two fingers away from his chest, Lu Wangchuan lightly extended two fingers and easily clamped down on the opponent's sword tip. The opponent's thunderous sword intent instantly came to an abrupt halt.

"What!"

Before he could react, Lu Wangchuan slightly increased the force in his two fingers, easily breaking the treasured sword. With a flick of his hand, he slashed, and the opponent's head instantly flew up.

The few people behind saw this scene, and their pupils immediately contracted.

"Not good, this kid is an expert! Run!"

Unfortunately, Lu Wangchuan never let go of those who attacked him.

He threw the half-broken sword tip in his hand. It streaked through the darkness like a bolt of lightning, piercing the heads of two people with lightning speed, giving them no time to react. Two Source Opening Realm experts perished on the spot.

There was one person left, scared out of his wits. He desperately used all his movement techniques to escape towards the cave entrance, but Lu Wangchuan was faster.

Executing the Heavenly Dipper Eight Steps, he arrived before him in just an instant, kicking him directly to the ground, shattering the bones in his back.

"Pfft—!"

He violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with despair.

Lu Wangchuan noticed the black lotus pattern on the opponent's arm and said coldly:

"Who told you the location of my Cave Dwelling?"

That person sneered.

"Falling into your hands, at most it's just death. You want me to tell you? Dream on!"

He had no hope of killing Lu Wangchuan; he was certain to die today. Instead of exposing Yun Sheng, it was better to keep Yun Sheng, letting him continue to trip up Lu Wangchuan in the dark. Sooner or later, he would trap and kill Lu Wangchuan, which could be considered indirect revenge for himself.

Lu Wangchuan was not in a hurry. He stepped on his left shoulder, and with a crisp 'crack', the bones were completely shattered.

The Dantian Realm's keen perception magnified the pain countless times, causing sweat to pour from his forehead, yet he remained stubborn.

"No matter how you torment me, I only have one life, and I'll die sooner or later! If I beg for mercy, I'm your son!"

But the next second, Lu Wangchuan used the Azure Emperor Longevity Art to heal the injury on his shoulder.

The other party was stunned, feeling an immense comfort in his left shoulder. Before he could figure out what was happening, Lu Wangchuan's foot came down again.

"Ah—!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the Cave Dwelling!

Once, twice, thrice... This cycle repeated. By the tenth time, the other party finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ancestor! You are my ancestor! I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, just stop."

Death wasn't painful, and being tormented, while painful, could be endured, as death would eventually come, ending all suffering.

But Lu Wangchuan was simply a devil. He cultivated the Life Nurturing Art, which allowed for better recovery from injuries. When the torment became endless, even the strongest person couldn't endure it.

Because the pain had no end!
