22: Chapter 22 Am I a Vessel Too?

"Damn that old scoundrel, he actually dared to scam me!" You couldn't move your hands or feet, but your mouth was still free.

You unleashed all the ultimate techniques you could, greeting the Pill King's ancestors for eighteen generations.

You felt a bit parched.

It seems you underestimated this world of Martial Artists, or rather, you thought too highly of the Dragon Country's martial arts world.

Back then, Lin Three was a Prodigy of the Dragon Group; surely no one would dare risk being targeted by the Dragon Group to plot against him.

You, however, are different; at most, you count as a Loose Cultivator without any Sect, though the Iron Hand Sect incident certainly doesn't count.

Only after the Pill King confirmed you had no background was he so unscrupulous.

"Sigh." You let out a sigh and looked around.

You shouldn't be in any immediate life-threatening danger; if the Pill King had decided that this kid couldn't be left alive, he would have killed you long ago.

Since you are still alive now, it means you still have value to be exploited.

You don't know how much time passed before the Pill King walked in.

"Young Friend Lin Heng, how have you been?" the Pill King said, looking at you.

At this moment, you wanted to greet his parents, but looking at the Pill King's elderly appearance, he probably didn't have any parents left.

You, Lin Heng, are a person of integrity; you don't curse orphans. You are definitely not afraid that the other party will get angry and kill you; you are definitely not such a spineless person.

"Senior Pill King, I was wrong!" You changed to a sycophantic tone, "Please take me as your Disciple! In fact, I have looked up to Senior Pill King since I was young. My admiration for you is like the surging river, endless; like the overflowing Yellow River, unstoppable!"

The Pill King stroked his goat beard, still looking at you with a kind expression, but there was not a hint of emotion in his eyes.

"Young Friend Lin Heng, to be honest, I am not qualified to teach a Prodigy like you." The Pill King sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

"It's not a pity, Senior, please take me as your Disciple, I don't want to die! I haven't even had a girlfriend yet!" You shouted at the Pill King's retreating back, "Senior, how can I live without you?"

Seeing the Pill King disappear from your sight, you started cursing his ancestors for eighteen generations again.

You were trapped on this bed for about three days.

Fortunately, although your hands and feet were tied, you could still Cultivate.

Thinking that you might be dying soon, you decided to do something for your main body one last time.

In three days, you had a Breakthrough.

You broke through to the Transcendent Late Stage.

When you were breaking through, the Pill King untied your restraints and even personally came to your side to act as your Protector.

After the Breakthrough was successful, he tied you up again.

Knowing that pretending any longer was useless, you stopped acting. You tore at your throat and once again frantically greeted the Pill King's ancestors for eighteen generations, cursing until spit flew, venting all the resentment you had accumulated over these three days: "Old scoundrel! You won't die a good death! You treacherous piece of trash! I curse you to have no descendants and never be reincarnated!"

The Pill King wasn't angry, only looking at you with a faint smile.

After he tied you up, he left.

On the fourth day, he took you away from here.

You were still tied up.

You arrived at the Liehuo Sect; you remembered that this seemed to be Chen Tianxiao's Sect.

Three Liehuo Sect Elders came out to take custody of you.

You felt like an object.

How hateful; main body, hurry up and note them all down, and when you are stronger in the future, take revenge.

"Untie him," said one of the Liehuo Sect Elders, "He is merely a Transcendent; he cannot escape from here."

You were untied and watched them quietly.

These three Liehuo Sect Elders were all Innate Grandmasters, so you truly couldn't run away.

"I resign myself to fate." You were locked up again.

You felt like your sense of time was chaotic; you didn't even know what time it was now.

"Sigh." You felt a bit of regret; if you had known, you wouldn't have acted so arrogant, nor would you have come to participate in this trashy Pill King Competition.

You punched the door, but there was no reaction; instead, a Formation appeared on it and bounced you back.

"Damn thing," you cursed under your breath.

Whatever Danwang Valley, whatever Liehuo Sect, none of them are good things.

You wanted to commit suicide; just restart the game, being trapped here is too agonizing.

But you only thought about it; you couldn't actually bring yourself to commit suicide.

At night, the door was opened.

A figure snuck in.

"Who?" You instantly became alert, sat up abruptly, and stared vigilantly at the figure.

The figure hurriedly stopped, turned around, and made a "shh" gesture at you.

"Brother Lin, it's me, I'm here to save you," said Chen Tianxiao.

You were a bit moved; you disliked your brother so much, yet you didn't expect him to come and save you in the end.

If we can get out alive, I will definitely repay this friendship tenfold, let you... forget it, you think it's better to just die here.

You would rather be stabbed by a knife.

"Hurry, Brother Lin," said Chen Tianxiao.

Although you thought that, you still followed Chen Tianxiao and ran out.

"This way."

Chen Tianxiao was the Personal Disciple of the Liehuo Sect Grand Elder and was very familiar with the Liehuo Sect, leading you through several small paths.

He explained to you that according to his Master, it seemed you were going to be used as a vessel for some big shot in the Liehuo Sect.

Wait, why is this plot so familiar? Isn't this Mu Xue's plot? How did it happen to you too?

F*ck.

"Brother Lin, once we pass that place ahead, we will be out of the Liehuo Sect," said Chen Tianxiao, "Once you leave, go to the Imperial Capital and find the Dragon Group; only the Dragon Group can save you."

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for saving my life," you said, cupping your hands towards Chen Tianxiao in front of you.

"No need, because I like... Brother Lin." Chen Tianxiao looked at you affectionately, like a little girl.

You were just about to leave.

When you heard an angry voice.

"Chen Tianxiao! What are you doing?"

A tremendous pressure erupted from around you.

You were instantly pressed down, unable to lift your head, and you felt your bones creaking.

You looked at the four Xiantian experts flying over from the sky.

It's over; you felt like you were going to meet your end here.

The Liehuo Sect Grand Elder looked angrily at Chen Tianxiao, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Explain to me, why are you here!"
