Chapter 225 They Consider Me Friends (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
Huangzhou Prison.

Standing in front of the tall, red iron gate, which was ten and a half feet high and two feet wide, Ren Shaoyang and Hongxiu carefully examined it.

Just then, with a "snap!" sound, a small iron window, about half a foot square, was opened.

"who?!"

Two fierce beams of light shot out from the cave, carefully examining the man and woman.

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "I came to visit my brother."

A pair of fierce eyes from behind the small iron window swept across his face several times before coldly saying, "If you don't want to die, get out!" With that, they were about to close the small window.

"Heh!" Ren Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, his gaze shimmering as if it had a tangible form. A strange buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and he said calmly, "Open the door."

"Yes Yes!"

The previously cold and stern voice inside the window hesitated, then the sound of faltering footsteps began. A moment later, a rumbling sound arose, and the large iron gate was pushed open, revealing a long, narrow passage. The stench of decay that should have filled the semi-sealed space assaulted the nostrils, making it eerie and terrifying.

"Let's go." Ren Shaoyang smiled nonchalantly.

Hongxiu smiled and followed him into the prison. She glanced to the side and saw an obese old man standing there with his eyes closed, as if he had been frozen in place.

Ren Shaoyang led the little beggar into the prison. The walls were made of rough stones, and the ground was paved with large stones. The walls were uneven, the lights were dim, and soft moaning could be heard from time to time.

Suddenly a light flashed, and several jailers carrying knives came out. When they saw the two, they were stunned for a moment, then froze, motionless, like wood and stone.

But the little beggar's eyes shone with a strange light, and the two of them walked past the jailer with the grace of flowing water.

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "You learn quite quickly."

“We’re from the same root!” Hongxiu chuckled. “You use the voice of heaven and earth, I use the lake of the heart to hypnotize. The effect is the same, just the methods are different.”

“Yes.” Ren Shaoyang sighed. “Both of us are ‘ear-sharp’ types, but you comprehended ‘blood in the wind’ and I comprehended ‘heavenly echoes’. Both of us are based on comprehension and destiny. I wonder what my ‘heart’s movement’ will be like.”

"It'll definitely look amazing!" Hongxiu laughed, patting his shoulder repeatedly. "We all have a lot of faith in you!"

Ren Shaoyang shook his head and smiled. The two walked quickly, turned a corner, and saw two rows of dozens of cells in front of them, each holding more than ten prisoners.

Ren Jianshen didn't go looking for them one by one, but instead gently opened his mouth and uttered a single word:

((((Hey~!))))

A faint, water-dropping sound echoed in the cell, like a sonar gently reverberating.

Ren Shaoyang and Hongxiu looked at the last room on the left and smiled at each other.

"There!"

Then, with a flicker, he disappeared into the dimly lit corridor.

At the same time, Chi Zunxin seemed oblivious, still talking to Han Bai.

"Kid, I touched every inch of your body when you came here and healed your injuries, so be polite to me!"

"Huh?" Han Bai froze, quickly hugging himself, the iron chains on his shoulder blades rattling loudly. "What, what are you going to do?"

"What the hell are you thinking?" Chi Zunxin was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage. "If I didn't see that you were a promising talent, why would I bother with all this?"

Han Bai thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he asked him why he was locked up here when his martial arts were so powerful.

Chi Zunxin laughed and said, "I'm not imprisoned, but rather I have a formidable enemy who has forced me to hide here."

"Senior, your martial arts are the best I've ever seen." Han Bai paused, scratched his head, and then said, "The fifth best! Who else is so powerful that they could force you to come in on your own?"

"what!"

Chi Zunxin, with his demonic-like body, suddenly stood up, his beard bristling and eyes bulging like copper bells, glaring fiercely at the young man and shouting, "You junior, how dare you speak so arrogantly! You actually say I'm only ranked fifth?"

"That's right!" Han Bai was intimidated by the imposing manner, but still stubbornly said, "Indeed, we can only be fifth."

"Alright! Tell me who's up ahead?" Chi Zunxin's face darkened. He slammed his hand on the fence, his voice suddenly turning fierce, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "If you can't answer correctly, I'll twist your head off!"

Han Bai broke out in a cold sweat from head to toe, but still defiantly said, "If you can't say for sure, here's your head!"

"Okay, tell me!"

Han Bai said slowly and deliberately, “The first person is Lang Fanyun, the ‘Overturning Rain Sword’.”

A cold glint flashed in Chi Zunxin's eyes as he stared intently at him.

Han Bai shuddered violently, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and every pore on his body was desperately drawing in cold air.

After a long while, Chi Zunxin asked, "You ran into him?"

"Yes!" Han Bai said, "I met Uncle Lang at the mountain temple outside the city." He then recounted how Lang Fanyun had startled the two servants, Hei and Bai.

Chi Zunxin remained silent for a long while, then said in a hoarse voice, "After three years, he has become so powerful?" He glanced at Han Bai and nodded, "Who are the other three?"

Han Bai felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the undisguised murderous intent on the face of the burly man opposite him. However, he quickly calmed down, took a deep breath, and said, "The second one is on par with Uncle Lang in my heart."

"Hmm? Tell me about it."

"The White-Clad Sword God, Ren Shaoyang."

"Oh?" Chi Zunxin's expression changed, and he stared intently at Han Bai. "That kid who escaped unscathed from Pang Ban's clutches two years ago?"

"Yes!"

Chi Zunxin sneered, "The remaining two are probably the other two of the 'Three Fiends of the Northern Frontier'?"

Han Bai nodded repeatedly: "Sister Hongxiu and Brother Ding'an's martial arts skills are the best I have ever seen in my life."

Chi Zunxin slowly scrutinized Han Bai's resolute expression, and after a long while said, "The three of them attacked together and managed to escape from Pang Ban's clutches, while I escaped Pang Ban's clutches all by myself. You say I'm inferior to them?"

Han Bai didn't know how to answer, and could only stammer, "I, I..."

Chi Zunxin had returned to his usual cold and stern demeanor. He waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "Do you know how I escaped?" Han Bai shook his head.

Chi Zunxin leaned against the fence, shifting into a more comfortable position, and said, "Pang Ban and I both cultivate the 'Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Art,' but three years ago, Pang Ban was not invincible. I found an opening and took the opportunity to escape. I wasn't even seriously injured. Isn't that much more skillful than those so-called 'Three Fiends'?"

Han Bai said, "You didn't even fight Pang Ban head-on, so how can you be considered superior?"

"Hmph! Ignorant brat!" Chi Zunxin's voice grew lower and lower as he said, "In martial arts battles, the inferior fight with all their might, the average fight with strategy, and the injured are wounded in spirit and energy! The Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique is the highest of the highest-grade! It allows spiritual power to penetrate every crevice, subduing the enemy without a fight. When I fought Pang Ban, I was plagued by illusions and was at a loss. If I hadn't escaped with all my might before defeat was inevitable, the consequences would have been dire."

"Did you put up a fight in terms of your mental environment?"

"Of course!" Chi Zunxin said proudly, "Pang Ban is indeed an invincible person. Unless Ling Donglai, Phagpa, and Chuanying are resurrected, no one in the world can control him, let alone that bullshit 'Three Fiends'!"

"Senior, I am grateful that you healed my injuries." Han Bai frowned and said loudly, "But you cannot insult my friend at will."

"Friends?" Chi Zunxin exclaimed, stood up, paced a few steps, and looked at him with his hands behind his back. "You, a mere servant of the Han family, actually manage to be friends with the 'Three Fiends'?"

Han Bai looked at him and solemnly uttered a sentence: "They consider me their friend."

"Since we're friends, why would I just stand by and watch you go to jail without helping you?"

"I... I had an accident so fast, they didn't even know."

"You think you don't know!" Crimson Venerable Faith Heaven laughed loudly, and suddenly reached out to grab it. "Since that's the case, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, I'll grant your wish!"

When Han Bai saw Chi Zunxin's five fingers reaching out like hooks, he was completely stunned, his mind went blank, but his body moved involuntarily.

He bent his left leg forward and kicked his right leg straight back, drew an arc with his fingers, and suddenly flicked upwards at Chi Zunxin's pulse point.

Chi Zunxin never expected that the young man before him would possess such superb finger techniques. Before he could react, sharp true energy emanated from the fingertips of the other man, rolling endlessly.

"How is this possible!" Chi Zunxin's eyes widened as he felt a powerful force surge forth, like waves crashing down on him.

Chi Zunxin was startled and swung his hand around in a circle.

Unexpectedly, this powerful force was immediately withdrawn, instead generating an attractive force that pulled him a step.

Chi Zunxin was astonished: "What kind of skill is this? How can a child have such refined internal strength?" As soon as this thought arose, his forward momentum suddenly stopped, and his five fingers, like hooks, reached for Han Bai's right rib.

Han Bai's previous finger strike was already an extraordinary performance. Now, seeing Chi Zunxin's counterattack, he felt a great shock to his spirit, as if he were being stared at by a fierce tiger, and he was at a loss for how to retaliate.

"Snapped!"

Chi Zunxin grabbed Han Ban's body, his fingertips releasing energy that instantly sealed Han Ban's Jingmen and Zhangmen acupoints. He then slammed Han Ban's hand in front of him and shouted sharply, "Where did you learn your kung fu?"

Han Bai felt a constant flow of heat within his body, his body fluctuating between hot and cold, hallucinations flashing before his eyes, his flesh and bones feeling as if they were about to explode, and sweat pouring down his face.

He twisted his body and screamed in pain, "What, what are you doing?"

With one hand behind his back and the other supporting Han Bai, Chi Zunxin said calmly, "I'm giving you an opportunity."

Han Bai gesticulated wildly, foaming at the mouth: "No, learning martial arts from Sister Hongxiu is enough for me!"

"Red Sleeve?" Chi Zunxin sneered. "So this refined internal energy technique was learned from the 'Three Fiends'? It really has some merit!" His gaze shifted uncertainly as he thought to himself, "No, I must quickly transfer all the essence, energy, and spirit I've accumulated throughout my life to it. I finally found the Dao Embryo first; I can't let it go to waste!"

Thinking of this, Chi Zunxin smiled slightly: "Han Bai, do you want revenge?"

"revenge?"

Han Bai was captivated by the sound and fell into a semi-conscious state.

Chi Zunxin continued with a chuckle, "It's obvious you were persecuted by Ma Junsheng. Don't you want to gain power and take revenge?"

Han Bai seemed to be in a dreamlike state, murmuring, "I...I want to see Sister Hongxiu?"

"Grass!"

Chi Zunxin was so angry he almost blew smoke from his nostrils. He never expected that even at a time like this, this little lecher would still be thinking about women.

"Very well!" Chi Zunxin's eyes darted around. "By fusing with my essence, energy, and spirit, and combining the demonic seed with yourself, you can gain my experience and some of my memories from my past life. You'll instantly become a great master. Then you won't be the servant Han Bai anymore, but a master of your generation, Han Bai. Wouldn't that allow you to get along with your sister Hongxiu on equal footing?"

"You might even have demonic powers that could make her fall in love with you?"

"Hehe. Hehe~!" Han Bai couldn't help but chuckle foolishly, then suddenly frowned and muttered, "This won't do, Sister Hongxiu can see through everything, isn't this cheating?"

"What the hell did I do!" Chi Zunxin couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him on the top of his head.

"boom!"

With a loud thud, Han Bai finally lost consciousness.

"What a fucking hassle!" Chi Zunxin cursed. "These young people nowadays don't think about power, they just want women! Bah! Once I'm reborn in another body and achieve great things, I'll have women whenever I want!"

Just as he was cursing, he suddenly heard breathing sounds beside him.

The dark cell was completely silent, except for the faint, long, and gentle breathing, which was also very clear.

Chi Zunxin's heart leaped into his throat, and he abruptly turned to look outside the fence: "Who's there?"

The breathing suddenly stopped, and someone chuckled softly, "They found it so quickly; their reputation is well-deserved."

"Who are you?" Chi Zunxin shouted sternly, holding Han Bai up. "Have you come to rescue this brat?"

The man paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Yes." As soon as he finished speaking, the cell brightened up, as if a heavenly gate had opened and a beam of divine light shone down.

A man and a woman appeared before Chi Zunxin.

The woman was very beautiful and poised, with a faint smile and indifferent eyes as she looked at him.

The man was no more than twenty years old, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and a square mouth; he was handsome and dashing.

The light came from the sleeve of his right hand, shimmering and rippling like water, making him appear like a celestial being descended to earth within the dark prison.

"You, who are you?"
