Chapter 437 - 121: Shattered Mirror! I Gained This Power Through My Own Efforts

The result was simple.

There wasn’t even a need to fight; they were captured precisely.

By the time Dong Shen regained consciousness, he was already locked in Purgatory, completely restrained by the Profound Iron Chain, unable to escape.

"Humph!"

The conversation between Ye Liuyun and the jailers was not deliberately kept quiet.

So, Dong Shen heard it right away.

A cold snort.

It seemed that even after being imprisoned for so many years, Dong Shen’s spirit hadn’t been entirely worn down; he still had that proud and arrogant demeanor.

He spoke directly.

"Back then, you were nothing more than opportunists. It’s impossible for me to work for you!"

Dong Shen’s ability to change forms was still of great importance to the Dynasty.

If he became a spy, there probably wouldn’t be a Dynasty that Dong Shen couldn’t infiltrate.

The fact that Great Qian kept Dong Shen until now was also because they hoped to recruit him.

It’s just a pity.

All these years had passed, and Dong Shen never agreed.

"If you have the ability, lock me up until I die!"

Looking at Dong Shen’s fierce expression, Ye Liuyun just casually smiled.

He waved his hand and then said indifferently.

"Since you’ve said it, let’s fulfill your wish, but not lock you up to death, rather beat you to death!"

"???"

Ye Liuyun’s seemingly casual response made Dong Shen, who was planning to unleash more harsh words, pause noticeably.

He raised his head in shock, looking toward Ye Liuyun, seemingly unsure about Ye Liuyun’s words.

"What do you mean?"

In truth, to say that Dong Shen was full of unwavering pride wasn’t entirely accurate.

It was purely because Dong Shen understood that if he agreed to work for Great Qian, he would first need to take poison, and even after leaving Purgatory, he would still be controlled by others.

All Dong Shen sought was freedom.

He was a Grandmaster and had such outstanding disguise abilities; how could the people of Great Qian bear to kill him?

Did he really think those statements were made impulsively?

But.

Ye Liuyun’s response was somewhat unexpected for Dong Shen.

"Is it too hard to understand?"

Ye Liuyun shrugged, with an indifferent demeanor.

Then he waved to the jailers, signaling that he wanted the ever-changing ability, simply put, he wanted it!

"Do it!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun’s signal.

A few jailers nodded at each other and then began commanding their subordinates directly.

By the time Dong Shen reacted.

"Slap!"

A whip had already struck.

Afterward, the sound of punishment never ceased.

Dong Shen didn’t have any protective talents; though he had Grandmaster Realm True Qi protecting him, it had been many years.

Maintaining his peak state was clearly impossible.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t been punished before.

But this time the situation was different, Dong Shen could sense it, these people were truly determined, genuinely trying to beat him to death.

Until this moment, Dong Shen still couldn’t quite accept it.

Why!

How did things end up with them not recruiting him?

Now, if Dong Shen wanted to give in, it was clearly too late.

"Did none of you eat? Use more strength!"

,,,

"Detected high compatibility between ’Ever-changing,’ ’Disguise,’ and ’Concealing Breath,’ would you like to integrate?"

By the time Ye Liuyun left Purgatory, the outside sky had completely darkened.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in Ye Liuyun’s ear.

Ye Liuyun already had talents like Disguise and Concealing Breath, and acquiring Ever-changing, these talents could all integrate together.

"Integrate!"

Post-integration talent entries had a higher cost-effectiveness, naturally, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t refuse.

He expected it to be another red-quality talent entry, but!

"Ever-changing (Gold),"

Looking at the new talent in the list of talent entries, Ye Liuyun shook his head slightly in a resigned manner.

"Still too greedy!"

In the end, still too greedy; if red-quality talent entries were so easy to obtain, he wouldn’t have only collected three by now.

The experience points increased significantly, but there’s still a long way to go to reach red quality.

"Whew!"

Slowly exhaling a breath, Ye Liuyun didn’t feel regret.

All in all, obtaining another gold-quality talent entry was already quite good.

Of course, this wasn’t the most critical point.

"On the verge of a breakthrough!"

Soon after leaving Purgatory, Ye Liuyun felt his inner strength stirring again.

As if about to boil, heat waves emanated from around him, like a burning man.

Indeed.

Compared to methodical cultivation, this accelerated way was certainly faster.

As long as talent entries accumulate, the cultivation would automatically advance.

At that point, not just a Grandmaster, he could likely become a Land Immortal, and unlike Yan Fuhai, he wouldn’t have severe side effects.

"Thank goodness!"

Supporting himself against a large tree with one hand.

The area where his hand touched, the bark was instantly scorched through.

At this moment, returning to the mansion was surely impossible, fortunately, he was in Purgatory and not Imperial Prison.
