Chapter 1
-----Branch of Xuanmingzong-----
Ji Rong lowered his head and came to the cell.
It's a bit dark here, and there's a chill in the air.Ji Rong is here to deliver dinner to these people.
Take out the lunch boxes one by one from the storage ring and send them over one by one. Today's task is over.
There was the sound of jailers beating prisoners wantonly in front of him. Ji Rong couldn't bear to hear the sound of flesh and blood, but he just lowered his head and pretended nothing happened.
Even if it is difficult for him to protect himself, his desire to save others has long since faded.If you have been in contact with people a lot, who doesn't understand it? If you don't have the strength but like to meddle in other people's business, it's purely courting death.
Just stay safe and stay alive.
Just survive.
"Damn it, isn't this kid dumb? After being whipped more than 50 times, he didn't say a word!"
Ji Rong was startled suddenly.Before I knew it, I had reached the last room.
"What a bad luck! Let's forget about it today, and take a knife tomorrow to gouge out his other eyeball!"
"That's right! Those eyes are really eerie!"
The jailers were communicating, and suddenly spotted Ji Rong who was approaching, and waved impatiently: "Okay, let's go."
Ji Rong saluted respectfully and watched them walk out of this cell.
The guards did not lock the door of this room.Prisoners they had just beaten were handcuffed to the wall, and the guards didn't want to get their hands dirty.In this case, Ji Rong, who delivered the food, could only untie the prisoner, put down the food box, and then go out and lock the door.
All the prisoners here have been abolished, so they are not worried about what will happen.
Ji Rong looked up at the prisoner.
The clothes were tattered, and the skin was full of scars, and there was no good place to be found.His head was drooping, one eye was gouged out, and his breath was almost gone.
Ji Rong couldn't bear it, so he quickly unfastened the shackles on the wall and let him down.After sniffing and confirming that he was still alive for the time being, he hesitated.
Ji Rong thought to himself, although all the heinous people are imprisoned here, but they are no different from ordinary people after their cultivation has been abolished. They are extremely fragile and may not survive tomorrow.
After making up his mind, he took out an ordinary Guyuan Pill and put it into this man's mouth.For ordinary people, this is a elixir with a good healing effect, the most important thing is that it is hard to see from the outside.
Who would have thought that the moment the pill touched the man's lips, the man opened his eyes.There was a sudden sharp pain in my abdomen!
Ji Rong coughed up blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head slowly, and saw a thin vine penetrating his abdomen.
Ji Rong only felt that all his strength was slowly sucked away by this weird vine, and he couldn't break free. In the end, his eyes were dark, he lost all his strength, and passed out.
When he woke up, he was no longer in the cell.
In front of him was a strange room, and he was lying on the bed with a person sitting beside him.
The man looked indifferent, his black hair was loosely tied, his skin was fair, and his facial features were clean.Indescribably handsome.
Ji Rong froze for a moment, and suddenly recalled this face, it was clearly the person in the cell yesterday!How are his eyes doing?Why can you still use spells?
Oops, got into trouble!If you go back, you will be killed!No, no, I don't know if I can go back now...
In the midst of complicated emotions, the man in front of him said, "Whose property are you?"
Ji Rong was startled!
His heart is not good, and he can see through the fifth elder's hidden breath technique. This person's cultivation level is at least higher than that of the fifth elder, and the possibility of escaping - especially if the other party may see through his real body - is zero.
Ji Rong got up and sat up, forced himself to be calm and said: "My name is Ji Rong, I... don't belong to anyone."
"Ji Rong?" The man sneered, pinched Ji Rong's chin, looked down and said: "The snow lotus is just a medicinal material."
Ji Rong gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to avoid this cold gaze—the kind of gaze that examines the quality of things without any emotion.
"I'm Tan Zhusheng," the man let go, and said indifferently, "Remember, this is the name of your new owner."
Tan, Tan Zhusheng? !Ji Rong rounded his eyes.
It was the demon cultivator who had only [-]% of his cultivation left after being plotted against by someone seven days ago, was unable to use spells at all, and was ambushed... In the end, he killed a Jindan elder with a single sword?
Although he was arrested by Zhengdao in the end, this unprecedented record made him famous in the first battle.I didn't know how I was hit by myself.
After wanting to go to prison, Tan Zhusheng did not know what method he used to restore his cultivation base a little. On that day, even if Ji Rong was not there, Tan Zhusheng might be able to escape.
Oops... most of the demon cultivators are cruel and have a weird temper, killing countless people if they disagree with each other.My own situation is really worrying.
Tan Zhusheng snorted coldly, and slapped Ji Rong's forehead with his palm.
Ji Rong was shocked and wanted to parry, but the opponent was too fast to react in time!There was a tingling pain in my mind, the old imprint was erased, but the new imprint was firmly engraved.
It was a master-servant contract, the kind that was enforced unilaterally.
Ji Rong was so angry that he didn't have time to think about it, so he swung his palm and slashed out!Tan Zhusheng was even faster, caught Ji Rong's wrist and twisted his backhand, and Ji Rong rolled off the bed directly.
"Why, do you want me to teach you the rules in person?" Tan Zhusheng said coldly, "I don't have that much patience."
Ji Rong lay on the ground, gritted his teeth again and again, knowing that the contract was certain, and the other party could make his life worse than death with just one thought.
Ji Rongcai was deprived of energy by Tan Zhusheng, and almost lost his foundation. It was because of his weakness that he fell hard again, and it took him a long time to kneel down. He lowered his head and said, "Master."
"Adjust your breath, leave early tomorrow morning." After finishing speaking, Tan Zhusheng turned and left.
What else can Ji Rong do?I had to obey orders.
free……
When will you be free?When will the days of being inferior to others come to an end?Ji Rong was at a loss.
Early the next morning, Ji Rong found helplessly that even if he used the elixir, he could barely recover [-]% of his energy.Still feeling a little uncomfortable.
However, it should be no problem just to hurry.
The door was opened, and Ji Rong stood up, bowing his head and obeying orders.Although, I was unwilling in my heart.
Tan Zhusheng didn't care whether he was willing or not, and said coldly: "Follow closely." Ji Rong replied yes.
After leaving the room, there is a courtyard with plum trees planted.
Seeing that Tan Zhusheng almost disappeared in a flash, Ji Rong hurriedly followed.
too fast!Tan Zhusheng's speed far exceeded Ji Rong's expectation, Ji Rong had to use all his strength to circulate his true energy, but it was still very difficult to follow.
Gradually, Ji Rong was exhausted.What's more, the body has not recovered yet, and the pain is even worse, but because of the master-servant contract, he dare not stop.
Finally, I couldn't keep up.Seeing Tan Zhusheng disappearing in a flash, Ji Rong panicked and forcibly used his true energy, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and fell from the sky like a broken thread.
Ji Rong thought to himself, it's over, if Tan Zhusheng catches him back, he will have to suffer.There is no place to run away, there is a contract, no matter where you can find it.
He closed his eyes, and when he was about to hit the ground, he was hugged in mid-air.
"Too slow," Tan Zhusheng's voice came from beside his ear coldly: "I only used less than [-]% of my cultivation."
Ji Rong's eyes widened and he almost bit off his tongue.This person is too heaven-defying!Estimated, if you spend [-]% of it, even Yuanying Patriarch is far behind him!
But Ji Rong is only in the middle stage of foundation establishment, so how can he be compared?Moreover, since he is not a human being, it is even more difficult to cultivate.
What's more, because of my status, I was used at will by the previous "master" - the fifth elder of Xuanmingzong - and was tortured to death, so I didn't have time and energy to practice.
Ji Rong was carried to the roof, and when he came back to his senses, he felt extremely embarrassed. He struggled to remember, but he couldn't even move his arms.
"Don't move around," Tan Zhusheng sensed Ji Rong's intentions, and said, "You have exhausted your true energy, and you have been in the state of going all out for a long time... Be quiet."
After all, without asking Ji Rong's opinion, he put his palm against Ji Rong's back, and sent a stream of true energy in, slowly infiltrating the dry meridians.
In order to get rid of this awkward posture as soon as possible, Ji Rong closed her eyes and meditated to recover.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a certain room.And Tan Zhusheng was looking at Ji Rong indifferently.
Ji Rong immediately tensed up all over.Sure enough, Tan Zhusheng said coldly: "Give me a reason to keep you."
Knowing that if you don't keep it, you will die, Ji Rong smiled bitterly, got out of bed, bowed respectfully, and said coolly: "I am snow lotus, but it is just a medicinal material, what else can it be used for?"
After finishing speaking, Ji Rong wiped off his sleeve, exposing his arm that had been cut off many times, and said softly: "...please."
Ji Rong wants to live.
But why is it so difficult to live?
Tan Zhusheng really came over.Ji Rong's mind flashed the image of the Fifth Elder every time he ate himself—smiling, took the dagger, and cut off every inch.
Can't escape fate anyway?
Tan Zhusheng approached step by step, Ji Rong's complexion was already as pale as paper.
It was close, but it passed by.
Ji Rong was stunned.I saw Tan Zhusheng passed him, sat on the bed, and ordered: "Go to the nearby pharmacy to buy some medicine." He said the name of a few medicines, and gave Ji Rong some spirit stones.
Ji Rong didn't know what this meant, but he didn't dare to ask again, for fear that this person would change his mind again and tear himself apart.
After hastily leaving the room, Ji Rong let out a long breath.
In the pharmacy, Ji Rong reported the names of some medicines, all of which were wrapped up, and took the last blind blood Luozhi, and when he was about to pay, a woman's voice came from behind, asking for the same medicine.
But he said that the boss saw that what Ji Rong asked for earlier was not ordinary, and knew that this was a big customer who could not afford to offend, so he had to apologize: "I'm sorry, this girl, there are only the last ones left, but this young master first come..."
Ji Rong turned around and looked at the woman.
If the muscles are thickened, the eyes are bright and gazing.The raw water is lingering, but also a little charming and enchanting.Naturally flattering.
Ji Rong felt that she looked familiar, and was thinking about it. The woman smiled and said, "Young master, can you let me go? My master is in urgent need."
Ji Rong wanted to, but there was only this pharmacy nearby. If he failed to complete the task, he was afraid that Tan Zhusheng would skin him alive.
No choice but to apologize: "I'm sorry, girl, I also have an urgent need..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the woman came to grab her directly!
Ji Rong was also a little annoyed, dropped the spirit stone, quickly said that all the medicinal materials were stored in the storage ring, and followed the woman to make a move.
After hitting the pharmacy, Ji Rong felt more and more familiar with this person.After carefully observing the woman's appearance, the sense of familiarity became stronger and stronger.
"Ah!" A name flashed in Ji Rong's mind, and just this one stupefied, that woman's palm came straight to her face!
Ji Rong is stronger than this woman, but out of compassion, she doesn't want to hurt the other party, she just hopes that the other party knows the difficulty and retreats.
When this palm struck, Ji Rong hurriedly said: "Lurou!" The palm stopped abruptly.
"It really is you! Lu Rou, long time no see!" Ji Rong smiled.Lu Rou looked at Ji Rong in surprise, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Ji Rong?"
Ji Rong smiled and nodded.
