After the jailer left the room, Ye Ling struggled a few more times, but his soul was bound so tightly by the torture devices that he couldn't break free.
"It seems impossible to escape without regaining my strength... I'll focus on removing the seal before the jailer returns..."
Ye Ling abandoned the idea of escape and began to accelerate the deciphering of the masked man's seal.
With no jailers in the room, Ye Ling no longer had to worry about his Mo Zhi Jian and Devouring Domain being discovered. He gradually increased the power of both, speeding up the seal's removal.
The sooner he removed the seal, the less torment he would have to endure.
Although Ye Ling had a strong will and could endure hardship, he wasn't a masochist. He preferred to make things easier if possible.
However, to Ye Ling's surprise, the jailers' meeting lasted longer than he expected...
Ye Ling was bound to the torture devices for two days and a night, and the jailer never returned. At one point, Ye Ling thought the jailer had forgotten about him.
"Do these overseers take this long for a meeting?" Ye Ling muttered, letting out a yawn.
Initially, Ye Ling's spirit was tense, constantly hoping the jailer would return later. But by now... Ye Ling's Mo Zhi Jian and Devouring Domain had fully formed within him, and the masked man's seal was ninety-nine percent deciphered...
Ye Ling no longer needed to hide. He could directly use his Devouring Domain and Mo Zhi Jian to destroy the masked man's seal and completely restore his strength!
*Crack...*
A few minutes later, the jailer did not return as Ye Ling had anticipated. Ye Ling successfully broke the masked man's seal, regained his strength, and broke free from the torture devices.
However, Ye Ling did not immediately erase the masked man's seal. Instead, he kept it within himself as a decoration.
After deciphering the masked man's seal with his Mo Zhi Jian, he also became fully aware of the seal's characteristics.
Once he erased the seal, the masked man would know immediately.
If that masked man returned to place another seal on Ye Ling, Ye Ling feared he would be spitting blood.
"It seems that jailer won't be back anytime soon. I got lucky this time and endured much less torment."
Ye Ling twisted his neck, stretched his limbs, and then used runes to conceal his aura and figure. He pushed open the iron door of the room and returned to the dungeon corridor.
Not long after, Ye Ling arrived outside the cell where he was held. He saw Xu Qian Qin, who had transformed back into a girl and was holding a doll, sitting by the cell and gazing out longingly.
Seeing Xu Qian Qin, Ye Ling's lips curved slightly, and he revealed himself.
"Hero?"
When Xu Qian Qin saw Ye Ling standing outside the cell, her eyes widened slightly, filled with shock at Ye Ling being completely unharmed. "Why are you free?"
"Xu Qian Qin, it's been over two days since I last saw you. I've missed you a little."
Ye Ling smiled at Xu Qian Qin and then used his Myriad Worlds Insight to ignore the cell's barrier and walk inside!
Seeing Ye Ling willingly enter, Xu Qian Qin's shocked expression quickly turned into a sinister grin!
"Hero, you truly miss me! You dare to come back in!"
Xu Qian Qin's neck rapidly elongated, returning to its original form. She glared at Ye Ling and said, "Hero, I've been coveting the thirty thousand power within you for a long time!"
Ye Ling looked at Xu Qian Qin, who was grinning menacingly at him, and shook his head slightly. "No... you still disgust me."
"Hero, if you say that about me, I'll truly be heartbroken!"
Xu Qian Qin screamed and opened her gaping maw, lunging towards Ye Ling at an extremely fast speed!
"Too slow..."
As Xu Qian Qin's head lunged, Ye Ling sneered, raised a hand, easily grabbed Xu Qian Qin's head, and slammed it violently onto the floor!
*Bang!!!*
Xu Qian Qin's head instantly exploded into a mist of blood. The cold and hard dungeon floor actually cracked!
A new head quickly grew on Xu Qian Qin's neck. She looked at Ye Ling with a terrified expression and asked tremblingly, "You, you've recovered your strength?"
Ye Ling looked at the terrified Xu Qian Qin, his lips curving slightly. He instantly appeared before her and punched her in the abdomen!
*Bang!!!*
Xu Qian Qin flew out like a cannonball, smashing violently against the wall, all her bones shattered!
The intense pain caused Xu Qian Qin to scream.
"After recovering my strength, I realized how weak you are. It was truly regrettable that I was made so desperate by a mere creature like you before."
Ye Ling looked at Xu Qian Qin with pity and lightly snapped his fingers. Runes instantly covered Xu Qian Qin's entire body.
Xu Qian Qin felt the destructive aura contained within the runes on her body, her eyes widening with fear. She trembled and pleaded with Ye Ling, "M-Master, spare my life... I was wrong! I won't dare again!"
"You're not calling me Hero anymore?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"I dare not! I dare not again!" Xu Qian Qin said frantically. "Master, please let me go! I really don't want to die!"
"I'll stay honestly in this cell from now on, serve you like an ox or horse, and make sure you are comfortable!"
As Xu Qian Qin spoke, she transformed back into her maiden form and frantically kowtowed to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling looked at Xu Qian Qin's subservient demeanor, his eyes filled with growing amusement. "Actually, it's not impossible for me to let you go."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Xu Qian Qin's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy. She quickly said, "Master! As long as you spare me, I'll do anything!"
Ye Ling smiled. "It's very simple. Just tell me my name, and I'll spare your life. How about that?"
"Thank you, Master, for not killing me!" Xu Qian Qin kowtowed frantically to Ye Ling again.
She had photographic memory, and Ye Ling had even introduced himself to her before!
Ye Ling's request was practically a gift to her!
Without any hesitation, Xu Qian Qin blurted out, "Master's name is Wang Li Ren. I am willing to be your ox or horse from now on!"
*Ching!*
Xu Qian Qin smiled, thinking she had survived, but suddenly felt a chill on her neck and froze.
The next moment, her head rolled from her neck onto the floor. Scarlet blood gushed from her headless corpse.
Xu Qian Qin's head looked at Ye Ling with confusion and asked, "Master... why?"
"I gave you a chance."
Ye Ling smiled conspiratorially at Xu Qian Qin. His Devouring Domain spread out from beneath his feet, covering Xu Qian Qin's body and head.
The next moment, the Devouring Domain operated at full power, and all the strength within Xu Qian Qin was stripped away by Ye Ling.
In endless confusion, Xu Qian Qin completely turned into dust.
Her final moments were filled with endless bewilderment.
She didn't understand where she had remembered incorrectly...
He had clearly said...
His name was Wang Li Ren.
