Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi felt a chill run through her heart, as if she had fallen into an endless abyss.
Being confined for three days is not the pleasant experience of cultivating peacefully in a refined abode. Instead, it's being in a dark, cold, and sunless place, without food or drink, and without seeing anyone. It's an unbearable form of torture.
She had been the pampered young lady of the Zhao family since childhood, never having done any rough or strenuous work. Planting medicinal herbs, a dirty and tiring labor, was something she would never have dared to even think about.
But now, she was tightly bound by ropes and had no way to escape. She could only sigh helplessly and obediently follow Yue Feng toward the unknown place of punishment.
Zhao Ziyi was taken by Yue Feng to the gloomy and terrifying Black Prison of the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect.
The Black Prison is located in a valley deep within the sect, surrounded by steep cliffs, where sunlight never shines and a nauseating stench permeates the air.
The prison was dark and gloomy, with only a few flickering oil lamps emitting a faint light.
A disciple of a sect who was in charge of the Black Prison led Zhao Ziyi to a small cell and roughly pushed her inside.
These three days felt like an eternity for Zhao Ziyi. She had originally wanted to calm down and cultivate, but the boundless darkness filled her with fear.
She was completely incapable of cultivation.
Three days later, Zhao Ziyi led the group out of the black prison.
Her face was pale, her eyes were dull and lifeless, and she seemed to have lost her soul.
Yue Feng was already waiting outside the Black Prison. Seeing Zhao Ziyi's appearance, he said directly, "Zhao Ziyi, this is the consequence of your own actions. From today onwards, you will go to the medicinal herb field to plant herbs and reflect on your mistakes."
Zhao Ziyi nodded silently and followed Yue Feng to the medicinal herb field.
The herb field is located on the back mountain of the Longyuan Sword Sect. It is a vast flat area filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs.
A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the medicinal herb field, which was refreshing and invigorating.
However, looking at the rows of medicinal herbs that needed tending, Zhao Ziyi felt a deep sense of helplessness.
"Yue Feng, I will not cultivate medicinal herbs here. I am a genius, but this tedious, monotonous labor makes me see no hope for the future. I want to see Elder Sword Maniac, I want to sever this master-disciple relationship with him, and then I want to leave the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect to find a world that truly belongs to me."
Soon, Zhao Ziyi said to Yue Feng.
Now, she doesn't want to stay in the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect for even a second longer.
"Alright, then I'll take you to find your master."
To Zhao Ziyi's surprise, Gentleman Sword Yue Feng agreed immediately.
Soon, Gentleman Sword Yue Feng brought Zhao Ziyi to the front of Elder Sword Maniac's cave on Sword Maniac Peak.
Yue Feng stood in front of the cave, took a deep breath, and respectfully called out to the cave, "Master, Yue Feng and Zhao Ziyi request an audience."
After saying that, he knelt down at the entrance of the cave.
In the past, Zhao Ziyi would have knelt down with Yue Feng without hesitation, for Elder Jianchi had always been someone she admired.
But now, when she thought about all that she had suffered at the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, an uncontrollable anger welled up in her heart.
She felt that since she was about to sever her master-disciple relationship with Elder Sword Maniac, why should she continue to fawn over him as before?
So she just stood there quietly, her eyes filled with a stubbornness and indifference, without making any move.
At this moment, she even felt a deep hatred for Elder Sword Maniac.
She couldn't help but think to herself: if she hadn't entered the Dragon Abyss Sword Sect and had instead chosen the Azure Mystery Academy, she might have been discovered by the Azure Mystery Sect long ago and become an inner disciple.
In the Qingxuan Sect, I will definitely be truly valued, unlike in the Longyuan Sword Sect, where I am constantly targeted and feel like a superfluous existence.
Just as Zhao Ziyi was lost in her thoughts, the deep and authoritative voice of Elder Sword Maniac came from inside the cave: "Come in."
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Ziyi's body trembled slightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
A few days ago, when she learned that Elder Sword Maniac had emerged from seclusion and came to see him, she was incredibly excited and happy, as if she had seen hope for her future.
But now, all she feels is endless frustration and hatred.
Soon, Zhao Ziyi saw Elder Sword Maniac again. Elder Sword Maniac was still sitting upright in his high chair, his expression indifferent, as if nothing in the world could stir his emotions.
Zhao Ziyi looked at Elder Sword Maniac, her anger finally bursting forth. She demanded, "Didn't you say you'd help me capture Fang Han and avenge me? Why are you abandoning me now? I've suffered so much injustice in this Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, and you've turned a blind eye. You're not worthy of being my master!"
At this moment, she no longer cared about the relationship between master and disciple, nor did she want to call Sword Maniac Master "Teacher." She just wanted to vent all the grievances and anger in her heart.
"Zhao Ziyi, even now, haven't you realized your mistake?"
Elder Sword Maniac sat upright on his high chair, his gaze sharp as he coldly swept over Zhao Ziyi below, who was filled with resentment, and let out a cold snort.
His voice was deep and authoritative, as if it carried immense power.
The sound echoed in the cave, making the surrounding air seem to tremble slightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi's anger flared instantly. She abruptly raised her head, her eyes wide with rage and resentment, and roared, "What did I do wrong? My only mistake was not finding a master with a background even more powerful than the one protecting Fang Han! In this Dragon Abyss Sword Sect, I suffer humiliation at every turn, yet no one helps me. Is that my fault?"
