It had only been four months since Yang Kai came to Blue Feather Sect, and this was his second time entering the Bone Prison.
However, the situation this time was quite different. The first time he had been caught and detained, but the second time it was a real punishment.
He and Liu Xian Yun were locked inside the same cell while Zhou Yi, Chu Fei and the others were locked up in a cell adjacent to them. They were so close that Yang Kai could still feel their hate-filled gazes, even in the darkness.
Yang Kai naturally ignored them.
Sitting down cross-legged on the damp ground, Yang Kai frowned.
Blue Feather Sect may not be a place he could remain any longer. He and Liu Xian Yun had joined this Sect temporarily because they were forced to do so. They had no sense of belonging to this place, and after so many incidents had occurred, Yang Kai did not want to remain either.
If he continued to stay here, perhaps one day he would find himself in real trouble. Yang Kai knew that his current strength was not very high, and although he was able to turn all danger into safety so far, that had more to do with luck than skill. A single mistake and his Martial Dao would come to end.
Yang Kai felt especially strong about this after he saw Yan Xiu Ran, Zhou Yi, and the others talking sneakily just now and sneering at him before they were locked up. Yang Kai knew they were plotting something and would probably even try to stealthily kill him inside this place.
Yang Kai did not plan on just sitting still and waiting for trouble to come.
Now that Protector Bian and Kou Wu were not in the Sect, as long as these people cleaned up the aftermath slightly, they would definitely not suffer any real consequences.
Besides, even if Bian Yu Qing came back, as a woman who was subject to shifting moods, it was not even certain she would stand by his side. She had thrown him into the Ice Cliff once already, not out of kindness, but more as a test of his potential!
If he had died, she would definitely not care, if he survived, she may pay a bit more attention to him, but not to the point where she would do everything in her power to protect him.
After making up his mind, Yang Kai quietly began to contact the master he had once met here.
“Senior… Senior Wu…. Senior Wu Meng Chuan…”
Yang Kai kept calling out softly.
However, to his surprise, he did not get any response.
When Yang Kai was first imprisoned in the Bone Prison, Wu Meng Chuan had taken the initiative to call out to him and said he could pass him the method to break the seal on his cultivation, but Yang Kai was completely unfamiliar with Blue Feather Sect at that time, so he didn’t dare to act rashly lest he be used as a pawn without him knowing.
If he wanted to leave Blue Feather Sect today though, he needed to take advantage of Wu Meng Chuan’s ability.
If he was really a Third-Order Dao Source Realm master, releasing him would definitely cause a giant commotion he could use as cover to escape together with Liu Xian Yun.
But now, the other party wasn’t responding, so Yang Kai couldn’t help wondering if Blue Feather Sect had moved him somewhere else or if the other party was already dead.
Yang Kai didn’t become discouraged though and kept trying.
Finally, after two full hours, a well-concealed Divine Sense fluctuation passed a message to Yang Kai’s ear.
“Brat, it’s you again! Did you get locked up again?” Wu Meng Chuan’s voice was filled with surprise.
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, “Senior doesn’t need to laugh. But Senior, why did you not respond for so long? I thought Senior was no longer here.”
Wu Meng Chuan’s hoarse laughter rang out, “The Spiritual Energy I can use each day is limited, only enough to communicate like this for half an hour or so, so I dare not use it lightly.”
“So that’s how it is!” Yang Kai nodded slightly, not doubting his explanation.
“Kid, why are you trying to contact this old master? Are you prepared to cooperate with this old master?” Wu Meng Chuan’s emotions became vaguely agitated; after all, he had been locked up here for several years so after finding an appropriate helper, he naturally didn’t want to let go of this chance.
If he missed this opportunity, he did not know whether he would be able to escape the Bone Prison in his lifetime.
Yang Kai knit his brow and replied, “I’m fine with cooperating, and can even agree to help Senior escape from here, but… What benefits can Senior give me? After all, Junior doesn’t want to simply act for free.
“What benefits do you want? This old master will speak the truth with you: Right now this old master only has his life, so even if he promises you anything, he might not be able to deliver it. However, if you trust this old master, once he is free, this old master will give you anything you desire!” Wu Meng Chuan quickly said.
Yang Kai curled his lips and said with a casual look on his face, “Then Senior, do you have some powerful Secret Arts or Techniques? Just give me one of those.”
“You want a Secret Technique?” Wu Meng Chuan asked rhetorically before going silent.
Yang Kai did not worry and just waited quietly.
The reason why he made this request was just as a casual front, because even if Wu Meng Chuan said he would not give him anything, Yang Kai would still have to cooperate with him to survive. As such, Yang Kai simply wanted to give this request a try, and judging from this silence, it seemed like there was hope of success.
This made Yang Kai realize that Wu Meng Chuan really could not wait to leave this place, and his help was absolutely necessary! Otherwise, there would be no need to seriously consider his rude request.
Was Wu Meng Chuan really going to agree with his opening bid? Yang Kai suddenly had such a thought in his mind, but quickly rejected it.
The opponent’s strength was so high that if he annoyed him, Yang Kai would probably be the first to die if he did release him.
After a while, Wu Meng Chuan seemed to make a decision, laughed wickedly, and said, “Good, since you want to learn a Secret Technique, this old master will pass you his most powerful one! With the help of this Secret Technique, climbing to the Emperor Realm in the future will be completely possible! Here, take it!”
When the words fell, a wave of information flooded into Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea. Yang Kai simply let go of his Knowledge Sea defences and accepted this stream of Spiritual Energy.
This message contained two Secret Techniques, one of which was the one to lift the seal on his cultivation, while the other was the ‘benefit’ Wu Meng Chuan gave to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai quickly began inspecting his gains.
Wu Meng Chuan’s voice sounded again a moment later, with a hint of exhaustion clear in his tone, “Boy, this old master is counting on you. Lift the seal on your cultivation as soon as possible then help this old master escape.”
After saying so, he fell silent. It seemed that using his Spiritual Energy to send that message just now had tired him out, so when Yang Kai tried to call out to him again, Wu Meng Chuan did not respond.
Realizing this, Yang Kai focused on investigating the two Secret Techniques Wu Meng Chuan had given him. Needless to say, the Secret Technique to lift the seal on his cultivation wasn’t very profound, and after reading it a few times, Yang Kai had already mastered it. All that was required was for him to stimulate and move his strength in a certain manner to slowly break down the seal.
As for the other Secret Technique, it had an extremely strange name.
Heaven Devouring Battle Law!
Yang Kai didn’t have much time to study and comprehend this technique carefully so he simply browsed through it.
Soon though, a look of shock filled his face.
He had thought that Wu Meng Chuan would casually give himself a Secret Technique to satisfy him, and his claims about it being his most powerful and profound method were all just lies.
Who would teach a stranger their best Secret Technique for no reason?
