Ling Zhenfei said, "This is really interesting. I have no grievances or grudges against you, yet just for your own interests, you want to hand me over. There's really no one like you."
The old man said, "Don't say anything more. Tomorrow, I will hand you over to Watanabe Kazushi. If you still want something to eat today or have anything left to say, quickly explain it; it would be our Ittō-ryū's compensation for you."
After saying this, those people no longer waited but directly left the cell, and at the cell door, they said to the people there: "Guard the cell well, make sure Ling Zhenfei doesn't escape."
"Elder, should we tie that kid up to prevent him from escaping?" someone asked.
The old man said, "No need, that kid is seriously injured, he can't possibly escape. If anyone wants to watch him, go ahead. Give him whatever he wants to eat, just don't let him out of the cell."
"Understood, Elder."
Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes slightly red.
"Maybe I should persuade the Elder, perhaps he might change his mind."
Ling Zhenfei said, "There's no need. It looks like your Elder has run out of options. It's okay; I'll think of a way to leave after you hand me over to Watanabe. That way, it won't implicate your Ittō-ryū."
Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei incredulously and said, "Even at this point, you're still thinking about us. We betrayed you, yet you're still thinking about our Ittō-ryū. Just who are you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "You are heartless, but I cannot be unfeeling. It's just a pity I couldn't help cure Mr. Hoshino. However, if you use the method I mentioned to treat Mr. Hoshino, you will surely have some results."
"Thank you. Now it seems compared to you, I'm truly nothing. We Japanese, our so-called Bushido spirit, are all lies. In this matter, haven't we also betrayed you?"
Ling Zhenfei knew that Hoshino Meigetsu must be feeling very guilty now, but what good is guilt now? After all, it has come to this.
"Alright, don't say anything more. You should go help Senior Hoshino with his treatment. If Senior Hoshino can recover, maybe there's still hope for this matter."
Hoshino Meigetsu said, "I still want to stay here with you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "What use is there in staying with me now? There's still a day left, can't you at least try?"
Hoshino Meigetsu nodded, "Then I'll go now."
After saying this, Hoshino Meigetsu ran off like the wind, leaving Ling Zhenfei sitting alone in the corner of the cell with a heavy heart.
But thinking about how Watanabe Kazushi wanted to catch him, it was definitely for the secret of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth. He was eager to know the secret of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, so Ling Zhenfei mustn't let him get it.
Ling Zhenfei thought about the secret of the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, which he indeed knew. Some of the powerful cultivation techniques on his body came from these divine cloths.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei hurriedly took out his Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth from the Di Tian Shen Sui, taking them out piece by piece and then joining them together piece by piece.
When Ling Zhenfei joined the sixth piece, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth finally changed. A golden light flew into Ling Zhenfei's body.
Ling Zhenfei instantly felt a cultivation technique appear in his mind.
Actually, Ling Zhenfei had fantasized countless times about what the next cultivation technique he obtained would be and how miraculous it would be.
He even hoped earlier that he could get a god-level one that could grant flight and escape back to Qinghe Village in Huaxia.
But now seeing the cultivation technique in his heart, although it wasn't the miraculous one that granted flight and escape, he was still very shocked. The name of this cultivation technique was "Spiritual Energy Deprivation."
When he first saw the name, Ling Zhenfei didn't know what kind of skill Spiritual Energy Deprivation was, but after seeing the description inside, he was immediately shocked.
In simpler terms, it's similar to the ancient martial arts technique, the Great Star Absorption Technique, but this Spiritual Energy Deprivation absorbs spiritual energy, drawing other people's spiritual energy to one's own body.
This suddenly shocked Ling Zhenfei; with such a divine skill, who would ever fear others again? No matter who it is, if they dare lay hands on him, he'll just absorb their spiritual energy into his own body.
But Ling Zhenfei knew this skill wouldn't be that simple. It couldn't be so powerful as to absorb from heaven, earth, and the air. There must be many restrictions, but there's no denying that it's incredibly powerful.
Ling Zhenfei immediately began cultivating; the skill on the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth was just like that. A golden light directly entered your brain, making it seem as if you've studied for a long time already.
It's just that it hadn't been used for a long time and had become a bit rusty. Just a little practice made it very proficient again.
Ling Zhenfei circulated his spiritual energy around a bit and found that the Spiritual Energy Deprivation was indeed very powerful, but it required several necessary conditions. The first is that the strength difference between the two cannot be too large.
The most important thing is that it cannot be used across levels; a lower level cannot absorb from a higher level, but it can absorb spiritual energy from the same level and lower levels. Also, to use Spiritual Energy Deprivation, there must be physical contact.
Additionally, the time for Spiritual Energy Deprivation depends on the other person's strength. Strong individuals might resolve the deprivation quickly.
Ling Zhenfei was slightly startled, realizing that he currently had no way to absorb Watanabe Kazushi. He was now at the Great Perfection of the Zhiyi Boundary, while Watanabe Kazushi's strength was already in the Dawen Realm.
Moreover, this Dawen Realm was in the middle to late stage, making him far too strong for Ling Zhenfei to deal with.
Currently, Ling Zhenfei was seriously injured. He could have broken through to the Dawen Realm, but due to his injuries, he didn't dare to attempt it easily, lest he suffer a backlash, which would be a poor trade-off.
Ling Zhenfei continued his cultivation when Hoshino Junka ran in, clearly having learned about the situation.
"How can the Elder do this, how can they do this?" Hoshino Junka stomped at the cell door.
"No choice, my fate has always been this tragic," Ling Zhenfei said helplessly.
Hoshino Junka said, "No, we must think of a way. How can I save you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "If you rescue me now, then tomorrow, how will the Hoshino Family explain not handing over someone? What will you do then?"
Hoshino Junka said, "But we can't hand you over just for that reason. That's simply inhumane. No, why don't I just break in and rescue you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Can you handle those people outside?"
Hoshino Junka said, "Then I'll go find my senior brother for help."
Ling Zhenfei said, "They won't assist you in this matter, so there's no way around it. I can only rely on myself to figure something out once I get to the Watanabe Family."
Hoshino Junka said, "I refuse to believe there's no way. If they want you, then I'll kidnap Watanabe Hideaki and exchange him for you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Stop causing trouble. Where would you find Watanabe Hideaki now? Don't make things worse; I'm already prepared."
