Chapter 34: Imprisonment (Part 1) (Third Update)

  "Yi Lao Gui, what do you have to say? My 9th level Great Forbidden Spirit Technique is obviously better than your 8th level Forbidden Spirit Technique, how about it?" Mu Yin Zhu stared at Yi Ba Tian and said.

  Indeed, Mu Yin Zhu can be said to have made a big loss this time. Not only did he give away a free 9th-level magic scroll, but he also offended the Yi family. However, there was no other way out. Looking at Yi Ba Tian's attitude, he knew that if he didn't take out this 9th-level Great Forbidden Spirit Scroll today, their efforts would be in vain. With what they did today, Yi Chi would definitely harbor great resentment towards them. When Yi Chi's power grows stronger, it will be the day of destruction for the three families. Killing is not an option, and there was no other way out, so Mu Yin Zhu took out his own treasure.

  "Not bad, I also think that the Ninth Grade Great Forbidden Spirit Technique is more reliable, Old Yi, what do you think?" Lu He had an expression of "I've got you now", which made Yi Ba Tian's heart burn with anger.

  "What are you guys talking about? And you, Old Mu, you're so good at calculating, how can you take such a big loss today? This is a 9th-level magic scroll! Are you out of your mind? Why not use Easy Old's instead?" Chen Yong said with confusion after watching for half a day without understanding.

  He really couldn't understand what kind of idea this Mu Yin bamboo was, even if he lost a ninth-level magic scroll, he had to seal Yi Chi. In his opinion, since the Yi family themselves were willing to use the forbidden spirit technique to seal Yi Chi, wasn't that enough? Why make such a big deal out of it? Wasn't it just the difference between Dou Wang and Dou Ling? With these Dou Zong around, what was there to fear?

  After hearing Chen Yong's words, and still in front of so many younger people, the other three people only felt extremely embarrassed, wanting to pretend they didn't know him was not possible either, who all knew they were acquainted with each other. Alas, the three could only sigh and say "not a pleasant encounter".

  "What? Did I say something wrong?" Chen Yong looked at the contemptuous expressions of the other three people and couldn't help but wonder if he had said something wrong.

  "Never mind, never mind, I'll tell you." Lu He said weakly.

  "Haha, Brother Lu is still the best. Come on, come on, let's talk." Chen Yong smiled and patted Lu He on the back, looking like two old friends.

  "Hey, you!" He shook his head, and Lu He couldn't help but wonder how the Chen family had been established. Every generation of their family heads were so brainless, he really wondered what kind of low IQ their opponents had to have.

  "This brother Mo is willing to take a loss, taking out this ninth-level Da Jin Ling Shu scroll, he must have known that Yi Lao Gui had an ace up his sleeve, and it's likely that he has a way to deal with the eighth-level forbidden spirit technique. Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly proposed this, considering how strongly he opposed us killing Yi Chi before, but now he's so proactive in wanting to seal him away. The change is too drastic, there must be something fishy going on. However, since Yi Lao Gui was so insistent on protecting that kid today, we couldn't do anything about it, and killing him was out of the question. That's why brother Mo reluctantly took out this ninth-level Da Jin Ling Shu scroll. Brother Mo, what I said is correct, right?" After finishing speaking, Lu He looked symbolically at Mu Yin Zhu.

  "This Lu He is indeed clever, he must have seen through Yi Ba Tian's plan long ago, but didn't have a better way or didn't want to suffer losses, so he didn't show it. Now that he himself has discovered Yi Ba Tian's plan, isn't this exactly what he wanted? Indeed worthy of being the traitor of Tian Ji Valley, today I've fallen into his hands! " Mu Yin Zhu's eyes were filled with suspicion and uncertainty, but in her heart she was furious, Lu He had indirectly caused her to lose a trump card."

  "What Lu said is right." replied in a lukewarm tone, it was clear that Mu Yin Zhu's mood wasn't good.

  Lu He also understood, apologetically smiled at Mu Yin Zhu, but Mu Yin Zhu saw through him and didn't even bother to acknowledge him, which made Lu He feel extremely embarrassed.

  "So that's how it is! You're too cunning, old man. Humph, and there are Brother Mu and Brother Lu here, if it were me, I would have definitely been deceived by you." Chen Yong said with sudden realization after hearing Lu He's words.

  "Hmph, this is just your guesswork. Alright, I do want to find a way to lift the curse, but I don't have one myself. I just wanted to leave a glimmer of hope." Yi Batian denied, unless he was stupid, he would absolutely not admit it. Now these were just as he said, only their guesses, and he still had hope.

  "Stop making excuses, I don't care if you have a way to lift the seal or not. Today, you must use the Nine Prohibitions Great Seal Spirit Technique. If not, two years from today will be the day of the downfall of the Yi family." Mu Yin Zhu also let go, anyway they had already offended the Yi family, so she didn't mind saying something harsher.

  "Yin Zhu! Do you think the Yi family is so easily bullied?" Yi Ba Tian angrily said, these three people have repeatedly used this phrase to threaten him several times. Indeed, their three families joined forces, and his Yi family was no match for them. However, if it were just one family, the Yi family would never lose to anyone. Today, however, they had been threatened multiple times by others. Even a sick cat has its moments of fury, let alone the hot-tempered Yi Ba Tian.

  "Yi Ba Tian! Are you looking for a fight?" Lu He couldn't take it anymore, earlier he had offended Mu Yin Zhu, now was his chance to make amends and improve their relationship.

  "Not bad, Old Man Yi, you really want to be an enemy of our three families?" Chen Yong also stood up, the three of them standing together, all of them challenging Yi Ba Tian.

  "You think I don't dare?!" Yi Ba Tian released that domineering aura and said fearlessly.

  "Haha, okay, Old Man Yi, let me, Chen Yong, come and experience your mighty skills first!" Chen Yong laughed loudly as he released his own aura, stepping forward to face Yi Baidian with a fierce battle intent.

  "Wait a minute."

  Yi Batian, who was about to join forces with the three of them, also stopped in his tracks upon hearing this voice. Chen Yong, full of battle intent, and Lu He, who had been watching from the sidelines, as well as Mu Yin Zhu, all looked over.

  The one who shouted at the four was Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi raised his head and stared at Lu, Chen, and Mu, as if he wanted to remember them forever.

  Those eyes, even the three strongest Dou Zong were looked at and their whole body was covered in goosebumps, couldn't help but pay more attention to Yi Chi.

  "I am willing to accept the Nine-Level Great Seal of the Forbidden Spirit." As soon as Yi Chi spoke, the entire scene fell silent.

  It wasn't until half a day had passed that everyone finally came to their senses.

  "Chi Er, you..." Yi Yun said hastily, looking at Yi Chi's expression on one side.

  Yi Chi shook his head: "Father, I understand, don't worry."

  He walked two or three steps towards the four people standing opposite him.

  Yi Chi's eyes were firm as he stared at the other three and said: "I say, I am willing to accept the seal, come on!!"

  "Easy Xiaozi." Yi Ba looked at Yi Chi with a stunned expression.

  Yi Chi smiled wryly and shook his head at Yi Ba Tian.

  "Old man, don't say anything more. If we continue to argue, it will still be the Yi family that suffers a loss. There's no need to harm the entire Yi family for my sake."

  Now, no one cares about Yi Chi's nickname for Yi Ba Tian anymore. What they care about is Yi Chi himself. Those who used to look down on Yi Chi are now filled with shame and regret. Even the four members of Yi Xing are thinking to themselves: if I were in Yi Chi's shoes, could I have achieved what he has?

  From then on, the views of the Yi family members towards Yi Chi changed greatly. Whether it was his original image as a 'good-for-nothing' or his later image as an 'explosive talent', they all disappeared and were replaced by his current image of sacrificing himself for the sake of the Yi family.

  "Ah...!!" Yi Ba Tian wanted to say something, but he himself was also clear that what Yi Chi said was right, and continuing to argue would not bring any benefit to the Yi family.

  "Come on, lock me up! What are you waiting for!!" Ignoring Yi Ba Tian who was muttering to himself, Yi Chi turned to look at the three people opposite him.

  "Good kid, not bad, you have guts. If you weren't a member of the Yi family, I, Chen Yong, would definitely take you in as one of my own Chen family." Chen Yong greatly admired Yi Chi's spirit of sacrificing himself for justice.

  Yi Chi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, if he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have come out to say that he was going to be sealed.

  Not bad, Yi Chi is obviously not that kind of person who would sacrifice himself for others, he volunteered to be confined, naturally there must be a reason.

  Just as the four were arguing over whether to use Da Jin Ling Shu or Jin Ling Shu, Yi Chi asked Yi Tang if there was a way to lift it, and Yi Tang's answer also satisfied Yi Chi.

  To break an 8th-level seal, only 10,000 energy points are needed. Breaking a 9th-level spell is much more expensive, but at least it can be broken, and the price is not excessively high, at 500,000 energy points. Yi Chi thinks that even if he doesn't rely on buying and selling magic cores, he will definitely be able to get these energy points within a year, so he naturally won't fear the seal anymore.

  As for Chen Yong's attitude towards himself, it was even more disdainful to Yi Chi. He didn't think that the old ancestor of the Chen family, one of the four major families that could stand in a first-class city in the Xiang Tian Empire, would be so brain-dead.

  If that's really the case, Yi Chi is certain that the Chen family will absolutely not survive, so Yi Chi thinks that Chen Yong is absolutely a profound and cunning person.

  Moreover, whether it was Chen Yong or Chen Xiong, the successive generations of Chen family heads and high-ranking officials were all people with well-developed limbs but simple minds. This made Yi Chi even more shocked. They could pretend for one or two generations, but from the establishment of the Chen family to now, they had been pretending for eight consecutive generations, which was truly astonishing to Yi Chi.

  Although Yi Chi thought a lot, he wouldn't show it on his face. Now ignoring Chen Yong is just a normal expression. If he smiled at Chen Yong, that would be abnormal.
