You and Your Master May Be Fine, but That Doesn't Mean Everyone Else Is!

With Li Liu's passing, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

The roars of the Demon Beast had faded away, leaving only the sound of sand and gravel carried by the wind across the battlefield, and the heavy breathing of Wang Huan and his surviving companions.

Wang Huan held Li Liu's gradually cooling body tightly, tears blurring his vision.

He raised his head and looked at the Town Heaven Pass reinforcements gradually approaching in the distance, but felt no joy in his heart.

Li Liu's death was like a heavy hammer blow that struck his heart.

Back to Town Heaven Pass.

Wang Huan was unsurprisingly locked up by Ye Jing.

They remained confined until the Town Heaven Pass was completed.

In prison.

Wang Huan leaned against the wall dejectedly, hugging his arms and trembling.

The scene of Li Liu's death is still vivid in my mind.

He could not forget Li Liu's terrified and desperate eyes, nor could he forget the helplessness he felt at being unable to protect him.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Li Liu, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Wang Huan murmured to himself.

Just then, the cell door was pushed open, and a figure walked in.

Wang Huan looked up and saw that it was his master. A hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He didn't know how to face Ye Jing.

"Master, I..." he choked up, not knowing what to say.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Ye Jing's voice was cold and stern.

Wang Huan lowered his head, his voice trembling. "I know I was wrong, Master. It was I who harmed Li Liu."

"You've harmed Li Liu?" Ye Jing's voice grew even colder. "You've not only harmed Li Liu, but also the reputation and discipline of the entire Town Heaven Pass. Your unauthorized actions, disregarding the entire Town Heaven Pass, are absolutely intolerable."

Wang Huan was speechless and could only silently endure his master's reprimand.

"From today onwards, until the end of your sentence, you are never to set foot in Town Heaven Pass again. Furthermore, if you make the same mistake again, we will sever our master-disciple relationship." Ye Jing's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Wang Huan looked up in shock; he hadn't expected his master to make such a decision.

But he also understood that this was the punishment he deserved.

Wang Huan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He wanted to say no, but he also knew that he had to accept this fact.

"This is the consequence of your playfulness. You enjoyed the freedom and excitement of going out, and you should feel guilty about it for the rest of your lives!" Ye Jing said coldly before turning and leaving.

They showed no mercy whatsoever.

The cell was deathly silent, with only Wang Huan's breathing echoing in the background.

He clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and resentment.

Sudden.

A voice came from the cell next door, a voice full of seduction and enticement.

"Wang Huan, have you ever thought about this? Why did a horde of Demon Beast appear at that exact time and location? Is it really just a coincidence?" The voice was deep and magnetic, as if it possessed a magical power, drawing Wang Huan's attention.

Wang Huan raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger. He replied in a low voice, "You mean, there's a conspiracy behind this?"

"Of course!" the voice replied confidently. "Think about it, the appearance of the Demon Beast horde, Li Liu's death, and your imprisonment—are all of these just coincidences? Are the higher-ups at Town Heaven Pass really so innocent?"

Wang Huan's heart raced; he had never thought about this question before.

He remained immersed in grief and self-blame, never questioning the motives of others.

But now, this voice is like a sharp knife, piercing through his mental defenses.

"But why? What use are the Demon Beast hordes there? My master and the others have no reason to harm Li Liu!" Wang Huan remained rational.

He felt that his master and the others had no reason to do such a thing.

"What... what evidence do you have?"

"Evidence?" The voice chuckled. "The evidence is right before your eyes, but you've never thought to look for it. Wang Huan, don't you want to seek justice for Li Liu? Don't you want to uncover the truth behind this?"

"Furthermore, even if your master is innocent, there are so many people at Town Heaven Pass, who knows if there are bad guys among them?"

Wang Huan fell silent, the image of Li Liu's terrified and desperate eyes before his death flashing through his mind.

He could not forget the feeling of helplessness he felt at that moment, nor could he forget everything Li Liu had done for him.

His anger and resentment were reignited, and he knew he had to do something.

"I..." Wang Huan took a deep breath and said firmly, "I must find the truth!"

The voice rang out again, tinged with satisfaction and anticipation. "Very good, Wang Huan, I will help you. Remember, the truth is often hidden in the darkness, and only the brave can unveil it."

Silence fell in the cell again, but a flame of hope had been ignited in Wang Huan's heart.

In the cell next door.

A black light shone in an old man's eyes, then vanished, and he fainted.

In a corner of Town Heaven Pass.

A cloaked Dark Shadow in black gave a smirk.

The first step was a success!

He didn't know if Ye Jing had any special plans.

But it's enough to make this Ye Jing's disciple start to doubt his master!

She was able to gradually erode his heart.

Wang Huan was so easily bewitched by him, except that he used Law Technique.

Furthermore, Wang Huan is currently feeling lost and desperately needs a goal.

I set this goal for him myself.

If he casually mentioned it again, Wang Huan would naturally seize on this and not let it go.

"Time to move on to the next step, hehehe..."

The Dark Shadow laughed in a hoarse voice, then vanished.

In the prison cell.

"Master, I want to see Master!" Wang Huan shouted.

"Wang Huan, calm down!" the prison guard warned sternly, but Wang Huan's eyes showed only determination and urgency.

"I must see my master; I have something important to tell him!" Wang Huan struggled, trying to break free of his restraints.

The guard remained unmoved; he knew Ye Jing's rules: unless given a special order, no one was allowed to contact the prisoners without authorization.

"Wang Huan, your master has issued a prohibition against you; you cannot see him for the time being," the guard explained calmly.

"But..." Wang Huan wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the guard.

"No buts, this is an order," the guard said sternly, then turned and left the cell.

Wang Huan sat helplessly on the ground, his heart filled with despair. He knew he was now isolated and helpless, but he couldn't just give up.

He had to find a way to let his master know the truth, to let him know that he had been framed.

He began searching the cell for possible clues, hoping to find some evidence to prove his innocence.

However, the cell contained nothing but cold stone walls and damp air.

Just when Wang Huan was about to give up, he suddenly remembered the sound from next door.

Wang Huan took a deep breath; he knew he couldn't give up like this.

He knocked on the wall next door.

"Hey, tell me, how did you know?"

No answer!

Wang Huan frowned.

He whispered to the air, "I know you're here. Can you help me find the truth?"

The cell was silent, as if there was no response.

But Wang Huan didn't give up. He continued in a low voice, "I know you have the ability to help me, and I'm willing to pay any price to find the truth."

Just then, the voice rang out again, tinged with satisfaction and anticipation. "Very good, Wang Huan, you've taken the first step. Next, I'll give you some clues, but you'll need to find the answers yourself."
