Shirong's sudden outburst was out of expectation for both Ji Xiaolian as well as the other clansn. It was especially shocking for the clansn since the place that Shirong had done this was one of the prisons of the Ji clan. That too and important one.
"The Silver Prison! There's been an explosion!"
"What!?"
"Is soone trying to escape from the Silver Prison?"
"Wait, isn't the person in Silver prison… Second Miss?"
The clansn discussed the series of events, clearly feeling stunned by this. There had never been such an incident in the Ji clan before. Sure, there were prison breaks before, but those were for the normal prisons and not the Silver Prison.
The Ji clan basically had three kinds of prisons.
The first was the normal prison, also called at the coal prison. This was where the petty criminal of the clan, as well as general rule breakers, were sent for punishnt. It was mostly used for those that had committed cris that could be forgiven.
The second was the high security prison called as the Iron prison. It was used for dangerous experts captured by the JI clan as well as their own clansn who had committed grave cris against the clan or other powers.
Finally, there was the Silver Prison.
It was also nicknad as the 'Silver Spoon Prison' and was ant for the direct mbers of the clan. It was more like a house arrest instead of a prison. Though more restrictions might be added depending on the cri that the person had committed.
Over the years since the Ji clan had existed, the Silver Prison had housed less than a hundred prisoners, all of them being mbers of the direct lineage. More famously, it was often used by the reigning patriarch to imprison his competitors who had not given up even after he secured his position.
Basically, it was a prison for political opponents.
Ji Xiaolian had been imprisoned here for violating the laws of the clan and directly trying to kill her sibling. But Shirong knew that she had not been serving her sentence properly. With Lin Wu's information about her presence in Tieba city, he knew that there was sothing more going on.
Thus even though he had found out about her over half a year ago, he had not gone after her. Instead, he had been biding his ti and gathering more information. Checking the Silver Prison, he learned that there was indeed soone there.
But it wasn't Ji Xiaolian herself, but one of her servants that was disguised as her. Doing this was not an easy task, as the Silver Prison was still a prison that was monitored every second.
Which ant that soone else from the clan had assisted her in this. Not to ntion, Ji Xiaolian had taken her ti and spent a long ti outside the Silver Prison. Shirong could only estimate that it had been over two years since Ji Xiaolian had been out of the prison.
'Senior Lin Wu was right… since I have the power, I have no need to hide now. The best way to solidify my position is simply by suppressing them all.' Shirong thought to himself as streaks of lightning swam across his body.
He had been passive for a long ti now, gaining power in secret. He had done this because he was afraid of exposing the existence of the Eraldine Heart Spear, which was an immortal tool according to Shirong.
Before eting Lin Wu, it was in a dormant state and thus needed to be 'fed' before it would reach its original state.
But after eting Lin Wu, Shirong learned the 'truth'. To him, since the creator of the spear himself was here, it wouldn't matter much, even if it was revealed.
"I don't need to be worried about it getting stolen either after all… haha." Shirong suddenly laughed.
"Have you gone insane, Shirong!?" Ji Xiaolian yelled at him.
She could feel his power increasing rapidly, and it had already reached the sa level as her.
'Even if he reached the sa cultivation base as , how can he break the barriers of the Silver Prison? Those should be impervious to even Dao Treading realm experts?' Ji Xiaolian was confused and afraid.
How was she to know that the Eraldine Heart Spear had allowed Shirong to comprehend a lot of things.
"I've known about your 'vacation' for quite a while now. Your work in the Tieba city as well as your mingling with the lords there." Shirong spoke while his cultivation base continued to climb.
In the sky, a phenonon had started to present itself.
"LOOK!" The clansn that were approaching the Silver Prison were stunned.
"How is a storm forming?"
"That isn't a heavenly tribulation cloud, right?" They were afraid.
"No… if it was, we would have felt the suspension." So of the more experience clansn answered.
"Then what is it?"
~RUMBLE~
Just as they were starting to question it, thunder started shaking the skies.
"You think the patriarch will allow you to do as you please? Don't you think you are going too far, Shirong?" Ji Xiaolian questioned, a mix of fear and anger in her eyes.
"Oh, I'm just starting, dear sister." Shirong said before suddenly disappearing.
~boom~
The floor where he last stood exploded, shooting debris everywhere.
"Wha—" And before Ji Xiaolian could even react, she felt a heavy impact on her body.
~COUGH~
She spat out a mouthful of bile, a result of the fist that had just buried into her abdon.
"You haven't seen how far I can go yet…" Shirong whispered into Xiaolian's ears before clasping her neck.
"Y-you…" Xiaolian found it hard to speak and her breath was forcefully stopped in her throat.
~BOOM~
Shirong disappeared along with Xiaolian and reappeared in the open grounds outside the Silver Prison.
"Look! It's young master Shirong!" The clansn quickly identified.
"No wait! It's not just him!"
"Young Miss Xiaolian! Why's she being handled like that?" The clansn were at a loss.
"My fellow clansn, I have sothing to say." Shirong said out loud.
