What's wrong with being a salted fish?

It is more appropriate to say it is a dungeon than a water prison.

Lin Zhuo looked at the water surrounding him and sighed deeply.

He is now on a platform in the middle of the pool, with chains made of black iron locked around his limbs. A formation is set up on the chains to seal his spiritual energy.

But it didn't matter, he didn't even think about escaping.

Lin Zhuo scratched in the water with his hands. He didn't know how long he had to be locked up here. There was no sunlight here, it was damp and there was an unpleasant fishy smell.

He has been here for a while, and he doesn't know what happened to his spiritual plants.

Lin Zhuo buried his head in his knees, not knowing what his master would think of him after hearing this.

This was obviously not his intention, so why was his body out of control at that time?

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to look at it and gestured back and forth. There was no feeling of awkwardness at all, and there was no sign of being controlled. So why on earth did he say those words uncontrollably before, and why did he let Su Ziqi run away?

Lin Zhuo looked sideways at the water. Because there was no light, the water in the pool looked particularly dark.

I always feel like my heart is so stuffy.

He was the only one being held here, and the surroundings were very quiet. He could only occasionally hear the sound of a few drops of water falling into the pool. Gradually, Lin Zhuo slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but when Lin Zhuo opened his eyes, he was startled when he saw the person in front of him.

"Qi?" Lin Zhuo called him tentatively.

"Are you awake?" Qi squatted in front of him, and his black coat fell into the water because of the narrow space.

"Why are you here?" This is their sect's dungeon, right?

"It's indeed a bit difficult to break in, but it's a no-brainer." Qi said with a smile.

He reached out and weighed the chains on Lin Zhuo's body: "Do you want me to take you away?"

Lin Zhuo moved his body back, and the chain made a swishing sound: "No need, we are not that close."

Qi grabbed the chain, still smiling, but restrained Lin Zhuo's movements: "It makes me sad to say this. We are actually closer than you think."

Lin Zhuo didn't understand, but he didn't want to get so close to this man. He frowned and said, "What on earth do you want to see me for?"

Qi let go of him, took out a handful of snacks from his sleeve and put it in front of him: "Nothing, I just heard that you were in jail and came to see if you needed help. It doesn't look like you need it very much."

Lin Zhuo was not polite, he touched the melon seeds and started to chew them: "I'm doing well here, thank you for thinking about me."

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps in the dungeon passage. Lin Zhuo turned around and looked, why did so many people come to see him today?

"It seems someone is coming." Qi stood up.

Lin Zhuo looked at him with a strange look: Are you talking nonsense?

"I'll come see you next time." After Qi said that, he disappeared in front of Lin Zhuo.

Good guy, there’s next time? This guy is very brave.

Lin Zhuo hid the snacks he brought in his sleeves and lay down flat: If he dares to break into Wanjian Sect alone, it seems that this guy Qi is very confident in his own skills.

"Xiao Qing!" Tu Wen shouted to Lin Zhuo from the edge of the pool.

Lin Zhuo raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"Did anyone come here just now?"

Before Lin Zhuo could think of what to say, he felt that his mouth seemed to have its own thoughts. Fortunately, before he could speak, Lin Zhuo controlled himself and lay back: "I am the only one here, no one has been here."

Damn it, I almost lost control of my body again.

You want to admit it, right? Hey, I won’t.

"Really? That man in black clothes is Demon Lord Qi Zhixing. He broke into the sect and went straight to the dungeon. Have you really never seen him?" Tu Wen didn't believe it, and his tone became stronger.

It turned out to be the Demon Lord? No wonder he is so confident, but what is he thinking about?

Lin Zhuo was confused and turned over on the ground: "I've never seen it before. Besides, this place is so big and there's no way to hide anyone. Master, you'll know if you take a look."

Tu Wen led people to search everywhere, but couldn't find even a trace of demonic energy, so he reluctantly believed Lin Zhuo's words.

Tu Wen asked the people behind him to leave first, saying that he had something to say to Lin Zhuo.

When there were only two of them left here, and Lin Zhuo thought he was going to torture him to extract a confession, Tu Wen just looked at him and sighed: "Xiao Qing, do you need anything? The boss will send someone to deliver it to you later. Come down."

ah? Lin Zhuo was dumbfounded. Is this the treatment a prisoner should have?

Tu Wen shook his head as he spoke, his words full of disapproval: "Why are you so confused? What's so good about Su Ziqi that you should protect him like this? It's not that the master is talking about you, the disciples will do it, so why do you need to get involved? yourself?"

Do you believe me when I say it was really not me? Lin Zhuo was also helpless.

But now that the matter was over, there was no need for him to say anything further, lest others think he was making excuses.

"Can you bring me a bed and quilt? It's quite cold here." Lin Zhuo couldn't bear to stay in this damp and cold environment for a long time without spiritual energy protection.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll bring you some more food. Look, your face is haggard. Oh, reflect on it. The boss will fish you out when the time comes." After Tu Wen finished speaking, he left.

Isn't fishing too vivid? Lin Zhuo was ashamed. Besides, he had already gone without food and wouldn't feel haggard even if he didn't eat. Tu Wen's filter was a bit too heavy!

But Lin Zhuo was still very touched. Even to this extent, there would still be people who cared about him.

Not long after, the things Tu Wen had promised Lin Zhuo were delivered.

Then an unknown amount of time passed. Just when Lin Zhuo was still wondering why Qi Zhixing hadn't come for so long after he had promised to come see him again, Tu Wen came again.

Tu Wen's face was heavy, and even Lin Zhuo felt a little uneasy.

"Qi Zhixing is dead," Tu Wen said.

"What?" Lin Zhuo was stunned, he didn't believe it.

"It's true, the Demon Lord's position has been changed." Tu Wen looked at Lin Zhuo, a little difficult to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhuo found that Tu Wen's expression was not ordinary ugly.

"I'm afraid you'll have to stay here for the rest of your life." Tu Wen turned his head and then said: "The new Demon Lord is your good disciple Su Ziqi. After he came to power, he led the demon army and began to invade the world of cultivation again, breaking the To maintain the balance between the two realms, Venerable Taixu has ordered that you be locked up here for the rest of your life."

Master said this? Lin Zhuo's eyes were blank. After all, he had committed a heinous crime.

Lin Zhuo lowered his head and expressed that he understood.

"Xiao Qing, don't be sad, maybe there will be another chance." Tu Wen couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Master, there is no need to comfort me. I deserve to end up like this after committing such a crime. Hai Qing pleads guilty." Lin Zhuo said nothing.

Tu Wen opened and closed his mouth, but in the end he turned around and left without saying anything.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't control his body at the time, how could he let Su Ziqi leave safely!

Lin Zhuo clenched his hands, Su Ziqi, you really deserve to die!

Lin Zhuo lay on the quilt, stretched out his hand to look at the chain on his wrist, and put it down feebly.

Forget it, I have no spiritual energy now. As an ordinary person, I don’t know when the master will let me out for a short time to apologize.

......

"Wake up."

Lin Zhuo had a vague feeling that someone was filming him.

He slowly opened his eyes and found that sitting next to him was Qi Zhixing, whom others said was dead.

"Qi Zhixing? Aren't you dead?"

When Tu Wen told him the news, apart from being a little shocked at first, he felt nothing special in his heart, because strictly speaking, they were not familiar with each other; he lied at that time just to defy a body that was not under his control.

Now, when a person who should have died appeared in front of him, it would be a lie to say that Lin Zhuo was not shocked.

"Not polite." Qi Zhixing reached out and scratched Lin Zhuo's nose: "Why do you expect someone to die?"

Lin Zhuo showed him his chained limbs: "What news can I know? Of course, I believe what others say."

"Then they were right, I am indeed dead." Qi Zhixing helped him gather his messy clothes.

"What about you?" Lin Zhuo held Qi Zhixing's wrist, and the warm touch under his hand proved that the person in front of him was still alive.

Lin Zhuo glared at him, are you kidding yourself?

Qi Zhixing said nothing, but raised his hand to cut off the chain that trapped Lin Zhuo's wrist.

The moment the chain was broken, Lin Zhuo felt the majestic spiritual energy pouring into his body.

"You are this?"

Does this person want to forcefully take him away? Because you said you wouldn't leave with him last time?

To his surprise, Qi Zhixing just held his wrist and led him to the passage: "Go and have a look." After saying that, the person disappeared again.

Lin Zhuo wondered: How could this person come and go without a trace?

But Qi Zhixing's words made Lin Zhuo very concerned. Sitting for a long time made his legs a little weak. He held on to the wall and walked slowly up the passage.

When Lin Zhuo came to the exit, he looked around. Why didn't he see the gatekeeper?

The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and Lin Zhuo had to block the sunlight with his hands before moving towards the sect's main hall.

When passing by the sect's martial arts training ground, Lin Zhuo stopped.

Eyes full of red, the sect disciples fell to the ground unconscious, they set fire to plunder some demons, and the strong smell of blood penetrated their nostrils.

Su Ziqi stood in the center of the martial arts training ground, still holding one of the elders who held him hostage in his hand. At his feet lay another elder, who seemed to have lost his breath.

Su Ziqi couldn't help laughing loudly, the magic lines on his face shining brightly.

Lin Zhuo stood not far away, and Su Ziqi's laughter stung his ears.

"Master?!" Su Ziqi found Lin Zhuo standing not far away, with an excited look on his face. He threw the elder in his hand casually and walked towards Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo's expression was blank, as if he was frozen. Su Ziqi came closer. Seeing his appearance, he was about to hug Lin Zhuo into his arms; but saw the other person flip his right hand in the next second, and the sword Ruanhong appeared in Lin Zhuo's arms. Burning hands.

Lin Zhuo flew up, kicked Su Ziqi, and kicked him against the wall of the martial arts training ground. Then he appeared behind the demon who was about to kill his sect's disciples, and decisively thrust his sword into the opponent's body.

Pfft!

Lin Zhuo pulled out Ruanhong from the demon's body expressionlessly, and the boundless spiritual energy spread from his body. He raised his hand and closed it in the shape of a claw. All the demons present stopped and were unable to move.

Then, Lin Zhuo threw the soft rainbow and injected spiritual energy into it. The soft rainbow swished into dozens of clones, falling on the demons like raindrops from the sky.

"Master! Don't you recognize me?" Su Ziqi suddenly pulled away and rushed in front of Lin Zhuo, grabbing Lin Zhuo's wrist and trying to make Lin Zhuo stop.

"Who is your master! Get out! If you offend my sect, stay alive!" Lin Zhuo kicked him away and said, putting his fingers together to control Ruan Hong and then kill the demons.

"Bang!" Suddenly a sword and Ruanhong collided.

Su Ziqi, who was kicked away, wiped the blood from his mouth and controlled Qingyun to resist Ruanhong.

"Master, can't we have a good talk?" Su Ziqi jumped up and held both swords in his hands.

"What do you and I have to talk about?" Lin Zhuo tried to call Ruanhong back, but Su Ziqi held her tightly and refused to give him the chance.

"Don't try, Master. I'm halfway to ascending now. You can't beat me. I don't want to hurt you. Can we talk peacefully?" Su Ziqi looked at Lin Zhuo with pleading eyes.

Tsk! Damn it, go to hell!

Lin Zhuo opened his hands, and green aura filled his body. Then he drew a formation with his hands and fell to the ground. The huge blue formation enveloped everyone except the disciples of Wanjian Sect.

"Here, raise your sword and let me see your strength!" Lin Zhuo said, using spiritual energy as a sword in his hand, and then gathered the spiritual energy at the soles of his feet. The ghostly figure quickly approached Su Ziqi.

Su Ziqi quickly raised Qingyun to resist the retreat, making a tinkling sound.

But it was useless, Lin Zhuo's sharp sword energy still crossed Qingyun and left wounds on Su Ziqi's body.

Su Ziqi gathered the demonic energy in Qingyun and shook Lin Zhuo away.

Later, Su Ziqi touched the wound on the magic mark on his face, and blood stained his entire palm red.

"Master, don't blame me!" Su Ziqi's eyes began to become firm. He no longer tried to talk to Lin Zhuo, but lifted Qingyun and headed towards Lin Zhuo. At the same time, the demonic energy transformed into a chain to trap Lin Zhuo's body. pace.

But Lin Zhuo dodged so quickly that the demonic energy that followed him quickly entangled himself in a ball, and was broken up by Lin Zhuo's palm.

Then Ruanhong suddenly appeared next to Su Ziqi. Su Ziqi quickly resisted and stabbed Lin Zhuo with his backhand, but Lin Zhuo turned over to avoid it. Then he turned around and appeared behind a demon, neatly cutting off the opponent's head. .

"Come on, continue." Lin Zhuo stretched out his fingers to hook Su Ziqi.

Su Ziqi looked ugly, stood up and flew into the air. The demonic energy gathered in the palm of his hand and threw it in the direction of Lin Zhuo. Lin Zhuo stepped lightly again, ducked in front of a demon and immediately dodged. The demonic energy thrown by Su Ziqi immediately threw it away. Devour the other party.

Su Ziqi gritted his teeth, and the attack in his hand became more fierce. At the same time, demonic energy emerged from the ground to capture Lin Zhuo, but Lin Zhuo dodged them one by one. Su Ziqi's attacks mostly fell on his own family.

The demon army was firmly controlled by Lin Zhuo. Even if they could barely break free, they were assisted by Lin Zhuo's formation. The huge pressure in the formation made them unable to breathe. They could only look at Su Ziqi helplessly. The attack fell on himself.

As time passed, Su Ziqi also felt that something was wrong. His magic power was consumed too quickly, but it did not hurt Lin Zhuo much and only left a few holes in the other party's clothes.

"Don't think about it. In my formation, the faster you use your magic power, the more you will become the nourishment of the formation. It will not stop until it sucks you dry."

Lin Zhuo said as he suddenly appeared behind Su Ziqi, knocked him down with a fierce palm, and took back Ruanhong.

"Don't even think about escaping unscathed." Lin Zhuo looked at them condescendingly, and threw the soft rainbow up again, injecting spiritual energy, and the soft rainbow quickly grew larger and wider.

"Go!" Following Lin Zhuo's order, the huge soft rainbow hit the martial arts training ground hard. As the sound of "bang" continued to sound, the bright red liquid splashed out, and was finally absorbed by the formation.

At the end, only a stunned Su Ziqi was left on the field, with no one else in sight.

Lin Zhuo withdrew the formation, and Ruan Hong placed it on Su Ziqi's neck, looking at him coldly.

"Master, are you going to kill me?" Su Ziqi held the soft rainbow in his hand, and blood immediately flowed from his hand.

Just as Lin Zhuo was about to raise his sword, the familiar feeling of being out of control came again.

Grass!

Lin Zhuo watched as he moved Ruanhong away from Su Ziqi's body, seemingly aiming it at himself.

Could it be that you want to kill yourself this time? !

Oh shit! I don't allow it!

Lin Zhuo struggled to regain his body. He concentrated all his strength on his arms and began to move Ruanhong in the opposite direction.

When his actions changed, Lin Zhuo seemed to hear some cracking sound.

Su Ziqi felt happy when he saw Lin Zhuo's expression suddenly softening, and when he moved Ruan Hong away, he knew that his master was reluctant to let him go.

Before he could continue to speak, Lin Zhuo slashed Ruan Hong across his neck with his backhand.

Ok?

Su Ziqi stiffly touched her neck and felt the unstoppable warm liquid. She used her last strength to look up at Lin Zhuo in disbelief.

Lin Zhuo shook the soft rainbow to get rid of all the blood on it, and said in a cold voice: "Apologise with death, Su Ziqi."

Su Ziqi's eyes were still wide open when he fell down, as if he didn't understand why it happened like this.

At this point, Lin Zhuo heard the sound of shattering getting louder. He turned his head and watched the running masters and elders gradually become blurred and then disappeared.

Lin Zhuo stood alone in the dark space, a little confused, but suddenly heard a mechanical sound.

"Host, are you alright?"
