The layout of the prison consisted of six interfacing cells and there was only one exit. Kle In cautiously approached the main entrance and climbed the stairs. The entrance looks like a metallic trap door. When he tried to slowly lift the hatch to peek outside, the sight of a hound bounded to a nearby tree greeted him.

"Rwar! Rwar! Rwar!"

Kle In panicked and immediately closed the door and retreated downstairs. The dog continued to bark alerting two lowly cultivators. He ran towards the opposite end hoping to see another exit.

After a moment, he could see the opposite side illuminated by the opening of a trap door. A Qi Condensation cultivator drew his sword as it slowly moved downstairs.

Kle In discarded his fear and bravely stepped forward releasing a hand made from Qi Projection like he did with his torturer. The cultivator who just entered was frozen from fear and before he could utter a word, his body was grabbed and squeezed to death.

Kle In did not have time to be amazed by his strength as he felt there was another man upstairs that he needed to kill as well.

"Elder, there is something wrong with the prison."

The hound continued to bark and with the other Qi Condensation cultivator that shouted, everyone was alerted including two men in the guest hall. It was the sword cultivator elder and the Early Core Formation expert they invited from Twin River Spirit Sect.

"I hope this friend will not take offense."

The sword cultivator elder is the same old man who wanted to have Kle In soul searched. He dashed towards the empty small green field where the shout came from but upon arrival, he was greeted with a corpse of a junior and a sight of a boy who has just released a bloody hound using Qi Projection.

He knew that this boy had just had his meridians fixed but he felt a terrifying strength coming from the aura the Qi Projection Kle In released.

It was not even two seconds since he arrived and the moment he summoned his sword from his spatial ring, the same terrifying hand grabbed him. It happened so fast that he could not properly release his Qi before he was squished to death as well.

Kle In was still panicked as he released the corpse of an old man. He just killed his torturer just a while ago and now murdered two you men and an elderly. The yard got quiet and he could hear his heartbeat.

He wanted to turn around and leave but before he could move his feet, he suddenly felt a strong pressure restraining him.

He has some familiarity with this kind of pressure. It is a form of an intangible aura that restricts movement and he experienced this right before Dal In abandoned him. Kle In looked towards the source of the aura which was not far away from the old man's corpse. A man in black cloak slowly walked towards him. It is a middle aged Early Core Formation Expert who was having tea with the sword cultivator elder.

His discerning eyes already told him that Kle In is only an Early Qi Condensation practitioner and believed that the attacks made must have been generated by a Heavenly Treasure. Since his employer is now dead, he planned on seizing this treasure as a reward. He smiled as the aura he released to pressure the kid was working.

Just as he searched the boy's body using his divine sense to investigate the treasure, he saw the same hand coming towards him.

He immediately surrounded himself with aura for protection, but his confidence was immediately replaced with horror as his aura was unable to resist the Qi Projection. He concentrated all his power to strengthen his whole body but then he saw another hand grabbed his head. His barrier broke then felt his head slowly separated his body before everything went dark.

Earlier, Kle In was force to kneel on the grass but having experiencing being immobilized many times, it has become part of him to automatically maneuver his power. After hitting the ground, he activated the only offensive technique in his arsenal and summoned his Qi Projections from his back. The cultivator had a strong resistance when he was grabbed that he had to activate another hand to decapitate the man.

Kle In was not aware that the cultivators he just killed are Late Foundation Establishment and Early Core formation experts. He thought of them as lowly cultivators as they easily died. After killing the two, he looked around and saw a wrinkled gardener holding a trowel. Everything happened in less than a minute so the horror could be seen in his face. It turned around and ran.

He was still confused and agitated from killing a few people. Although he was glad to have had killed his abductors, he felt reluctant and uneasy having to kill and innocent bystander. He turned to the opposite side as well ran.

As soon as he reached the edge of the green field, he realized he still was lacking tools necessary for survival. He looked around and saw the sword of the old man. He ran back to pick it up. Their spatial ring did not escape his eyes as he stored them away.

He felt unwilling while looting all the rings of whom he killed however what difference does it make if he does not store the items away? He just became a murderer. Nothing changes if he is labeled a thief as well. He was doing it for his survival.

Kle In casted his remorse ran through the forest opposite the villa's entrance.
