838: Escape

Of course, it would be easy for Yang Lingchen to break free if he wanted to. His Undying Golden Body Art had already reached the Major Achievement stage; if he were to break his own limbs, he could easily escape the shackles on his hands and feet.

Meanwhile, at the Third Prince's residence, Baili Tiance received news of Yang Lingchen's arrest immediately.

When he arrived at the dungeon, he was told by the guards that no one except the Crown Prince and the current Your Majesty could visit Yang Lingchen.

"Your Highness, why did the Crown Prince arrest Divine Physician Yang?" Su Yuexin asked anxiously.

"I had someone look into it. There is no direct conflict between Brother Yang and the Crown Prince. Their only connection is Ji Tiantian," Baili Tiance began.

"Ji Tiantian? The little princess of the Ji Family?" Su Yuexin asked.

"Exactly, it's her!" Baili Tiance continued. "A few years ago, Ji Tiantian and Qiao Yanxi fled their arranged marriages and ended up at East Immortal Academy. It's said that Ji Tiantian developed feelings for Brother Yang. I suspect that's why the Crown Prince arrested him."

"Then what should we do?" Su Yuexin asked worriedly.

"I will go see Imperial Father tomorrow to see if I can save Brother Yang," Baili Tiance said in a low voice.

Inside the dungeon of the Canglan Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen was suspended in the air, his body spread-eagled. A eunuch holding a steel rod was repeatedly smashing it against his crotch.

Fortunately, Yang Lingchen reacted quickly and immediately used the Sunken Yang Technique to retract his vital parts into his body; otherwise, he really would have become a eunuch.

"Stinky brat, you actually dared to touch Crown Prince Highness's woman. You truly are ignorant and fearless!" the eunuch said in a cold tone.

He had already tried various methods but still couldn't break Yang Lingchen's Sunken Yang Technique, which made him feel extremely furious. Having been a eunuch since childhood, he harbored a natural, poisonous resentment toward men.

"Fuck Baili Jianyun! If I don't die, I'll definitely let you taste what it's like to have your anus torn apart," Yang Lingchen thought, a wave of towering rage rising in his heart.

Since his Transmigration, he had never suffered such a great loss. At this moment, he had made a firm decision to kill Baili Jianyun.

"Stinky brat, by the look on your face, it seems you're quite defiant!"

The eunuch's eyes were cold as he pulled out a small bowl. "Do you know what this is?"

"What do you want to do?" Yang Lingchen's face was grim. He could tell that the small bowl the eunuch was holding was made from a human skull.

"His Highness has ordered that your skull be made into a teapot to be presented to Ji Tiantian after she marries into the palace."

The eunuch's eyes were sinister as he looked at the two guards in the dungeon. "Hold him down. I want to personally make this teapot."

"Yes, Eunuch Liu," the two guards replied respectfully. They then flew up and tightly pinned down Yang Lingchen's limbs.

"Boy, enjoy this slowly. It's just cutting off your skull; it's not that easy to die!" Eunuch Liu approached Yang Lingchen with a sharp dagger.

"It's just a skull. If you want it, go ahead and cut it off," Yang Lingchen said indifferently, without a trace of fear on his face.

He knew he had no other way out; next, he could only fight for his life.

"Good boy, you certainly have guts. No wonder you dared to touch the Crown Prince's woman!"

The eunuch sneered, then suddenly pressed down on Yang Lingchen's head with his right hand and slashed toward Yang Lingchen's forehead with the dagger.

"Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art!"

The moment the eunuch's left hand pressed onto the top of his head, Yang Lingchen instantly pushed the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art to its limit.

Suddenly, a powerful suction force pulled the eunuch and the two guards directly onto Yang Lingchen's body.

At this point, Yang Lingchen didn't care about anything else. It was do or die; whether he lived or died depended on this single move.

After two years of cultivation, Yang Lingchen had mastered the Soul Devouring Saint Demon Art to perfection. In less than a dozen breaths, the two guards were drained into desiccated corpses by Yang Lingchen.

The eunuch, whose cultivation level had reached the Peak of the Spirit Immortal Realm, was also about to give out. His skin had become shriveled, and a massive amount of blood qi had been drained from his body.

"Spare... me!" the eunuch said haltingly.

"Spare your mother! Did you think about sparing me before?"

Yang Lingchen let out a low growl, and a powerful suction force radiated from his body. Instantly, the eunuch's body turned into a desiccated corpse at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It all happened in a flash. From the time he drained the eunuch and the two guards, only twenty breaths had passed in total, and the guards outside had not noticed anything unusual.

Yang Lingchen gritted his teeth. Enduring the pain, he activated the Undying Golden Body Art, instantly breaking his own limbs and successfully freeing himself from the hand and foot shackles.

The moment he escaped, his limbs instantly grew back.

After moving his limbs a bit, Yang Lingchen quickly transformed himself into the appearance of that eunuch and put on the other's clothes as fast as he could.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he had to leave the Canglan Immortal Dynasty as soon as possible; otherwise, once Baili Jianyun discovered the truth, he would have no chance of survival.

The Thousand-Face Phantom Art he had created was still at a low level. If a Void Immortal Realm Cultivator were to examine him closely, it would be easy to spot something unusual.

Then, Yang Lingchen walked toward the exit of the dungeon. After absorbing the eunuch's essence blood and Soul, he had also completely fused with the other's memories.

"Eunuch Liu, is that guy taken care of?"

As soon as Yang Lingchen stepped out of the dungeon, a guard asked respectfully.

"He's been killed, but he killed two of your brothers in a final struggle!" Yang Lingchen said.

"He was tied up and still that fierce? The kid really had some skill." The guard didn't suspect much.

"Go and clean up!" After saying that, Yang Lingchen walked straight outside.

"Yes, Eunuch Liu!" the guard replied respectfully.

After leaving the dungeon, Yang Lingchen made his way toward the exit of the Imperial Palace.

Fortunately, it was night, so not many people noticed him.

After leaving the Imperial Palace, Yang Lingchen transformed into a middle-aged man in a deserted corner and then walked all the way out of Canglan City.

He couldn't stay here any longer; otherwise, once Baili Jianyun noticed something was wrong, he really wasn't sure he could hide.

About half an hour later, Yang Lingchen successfully left Canglan City. Without any hesitation, he pushed his movement technique and speed to their limits.

He had to get as far away from Canglan City as possible before the other side could react; only then would he have a chance at life.

As for revenge, Yang Lingchen didn't even want to think about it for the time being.

After all, the gap in their cultivation levels was simply too large. With his current strength, it was unrealistic to catch up to Baili Jianyun in a short time... To be continued!
