Chapter 94: Master Ren, my name is Chu Yuan
"To the left, sit down!"

Chu Yuan comforted Xiang Wentian.

Xiang Wentian looked anxious, he felt that the old leader was about to fail.

It turned out that Chu Yuan was not invited by the eldest daughter to rescue the old leader.

On the contrary, the eldest lady, although she knew that Chu Yuan was sent by Dongfang Bubai, still followed Chu Yuan and kept it a secret from herself.

At this moment, Xiang Wentian’s mind was filled with questions such as why the eldest lady did this...what was her purpose?

"Could it be that because the young lady was raised by Dongfang Bubai since she was a child and Dongfang Bubai taught her martial arts, the young lady recognized the thief as her father and surrendered to Dongfang Bubai, betraying both me and the leader?"

At this moment, a despairing answer appeared in Xiang Wentian's mind.

It's not impossible!

Xiang Wentian stood up and jumped out of the window, preparing to escape from here and find another way to rescue the leader.

"Xiang Zuoshi, I'm sorry!"

Seeing that Xiang Wentian was trying to escape, Chu Yuan took action at this moment. He clenched his five fingers, formed his right hand into a claw, and grabbed Xiang Wentian's arm.

"Get out of my way!"

When Xiang Wentian saw Chu Yuan taking action, his eyes lit up with anger and he released his internal strength, ready to repel Chu Yuan.

As a result, Xiang Wentian found that once his internal energy entered Chu Yuan's body, it was like a drop in the ocean. Then the next moment...

boom!
The internal force that had just entered Chu Yuan's body rushed back towards him from Chu Yuan's body with the same force.

This is the new ability Chu Yuan gained after he mastered the "Sunflower Manual" and absorbed the two kinds of internal forces, "Sunflower Manual" and "Nine Heavens Gangqi" into his Dantian Qi sea at the same time.

Chu Yuan felt that it was somewhat like "The Great Shift of the Universe" plus Murong family's "The Shift of the Stars".

Xiang Wentian was caught off guard and took two steps back.

Chu Yuan took the opportunity to pull him back, then used his other hand to form a sword and pressed the two major acupoints of Fengchi and Hegu on his body. Xiang Wentian was thus subdued.

"Miss, the leader is your biological father! How can you recognize a thief as your father? You actually asked the Qingcheng Sword Immortal to deal with the leader together with Dongfang Bubai."

At this moment, Xiang Wentian no longer had the mind to pay attention to why the internal force he had just used to attack Chu Yuan bounced back. After he was subdued by Chu Yuan, he said to Ren Yingying, who was a little overwhelmed by the series of events happening nearby.

"Uncle Xiang, you misunderstood. Uncle Chu and I came here to rescue my father!"

Ren Yingying could only explain.

"Save the leader. Why does this Chu have Dongfang Bubai's black iron token in his hand?"

Xiang Wentian did not believe in the Tao.

Seeing that Wentian didn't believe her at all, Ren Yingying didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Uncle Xiang, you really misunderstood."

Ren Yingying could only say.

"Bah, I didn't misunderstand, Miss, you didn't turn to Dongfang Bubai just because of this lover, did you?"

Xiang Wentian said angrily.

"Uncle Xiang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiang Wentian's words made Ren Yingying feel embarrassed and angry.

"Forget it, Miss Ren, don't tell him so much. He will know what happens next anyway."

Chu Yuan said directly.

Xiang Wentian is a stubborn person and only believes what he sees with his own eyes.

Otherwise, he would not have been looking for the place where Ren Woxing was imprisoned during the years when Ren Woxing lost power and was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai, and he actually found it.

"Huang Zhonggong, right? Take me to the dungeon."

Chu Yuan was fair to Huang Zhong.

"Messenger, please come this way!"

Huang Zhong is fair.

Knowing that Chu Yuan was the Qingcheng Sword Immortal and came on behalf of his own sect leader, Huang Zhonggong was extremely respectful to Chu Yuan.

"What should he do?"

Tu Bi Weng pointed at the person beside him who was acupunctured by Chu Yuan and was standing there unable to move, and asked Tiandao.

"Don't worry about him, just go and do our own things."

Chu Yuan said.

"Well."

Huang Zhonggong responded.

Several people stood up and were about to go to the dungeon.

"Mr. Chu, what kind of expert are you? You are unworthy of being called the Qingcheng Sword Immortal in the martial arts world. You just ambushed me and I was defeated by you. If you have the guts, let me go and we will fight for three hundred rounds!"

"Miss, it's not too late for you to turn back now!"

"Miss, are you really going to betray the old leader for your lover?"

Behind him, Xiang Wentian's voice continued to come from the pavilion.

Ren Yingying's face turned red and her eyes were filled with tears after being scolded by Xiang Wentian. She almost cried. Fortunately, she was wearing a veil, so no one could see her expression clearly.

She was not a little woman who liked to cry, but Xiang Wentian was an elder whom she had always respected and had watched her grow up since she was a child.

Being scolded like this by an elder really made her feel ashamed and deeply wronged.

"It's okay, don't worry about him. He insulted you and me just to buy time. There's no need to waste time with him."

Chu Yuan saw that Ren Yingying's chest was heaving up and down with anger, and knew that it was Xiang Wentian's scolding that made Ren Yingying break down, so he said to Ren Yingying.

"I see."

Ren Yingying gritted her teeth and said.

The Four Friends from Jiangnan, along with Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying, walked through Plum Manor.

The buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly waterside pavilions, corridors, pavilions and towers, and are very exquisite.

Soon they came to a rockery, which was connected to a pond in the courtyard.

"Messenger, go down through this rockery stone door and you will find Ren Woxing imprisoned in the dungeon at the bottom of the lake."

Huang Zhonggong brought Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying to a rockery that looked like an archway, and pointed to the two-foot-high rockery path in front of them.

"You all wait outside, send one person to go down with me and help me open the dungeon door."

Chu Yuan said to his four friends from Jiangnan.

Ren Yingying said, "Uncle Chu, can I follow you down?"

She had been separated from her biological father for many years, and she also wanted to go down and see her biological father.

"Forget about your words." Chu Yuan refused: "Just wait up there. I will bring your father out after I finish all this."

Chu Yuan's idea was very simple. He wanted to bring Ren Yingying along. When Ren Woxing saw that he came with his daughter, he would not easily agree to the duel request, and there would definitely be some trouble.

It is better to have less trouble than more. He might as well finish the matter directly and let Ren Yingying meet her father. It would be the same.

"Ok."

Seeing Chu Yuan's firm tone, Ren Yingying could only agree.

"Heibaizi, go down with the messenger and open the dungeon door for him."

Huang Zhonggong said to Hei Baizi.

"yes, Sir."

Heibaizi agreed.

"You should know how to say it, right?"

Huang Zhonggong also entrusted the black and white paths.

This is a big matter ordered by the leader, and we can’t let anything go wrong.

"Of course I know, big brother. Ren Woxing has always been very self-righteous. He thinks that his martial arts skills are extraordinary and he is the best in the world except for the leader. Although Taoist Chu is nearly thirty years old, he looks like he is only in his early twenties."

"When the time comes, I will go in and flatter Taoist Priest Chu. Ren Woxing will naturally be dissatisfied with Taoist Priest Chu's youth, and this matter will be accomplished naturally."

Heibaizi bowed.

"Yes, let's do it."

Huang Zhonggongdao is the oldest of the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

Then Huang Zhonggong took the key in one hand and the torch in the other, and entered through the rockery entrance with Chu Yuan.

Inside was a curved, slightly damp staircase passage with moss-covered walls that extended underground.

Chu Yuan followed Hei Baizi and walked down less than a hundred meters when a huge iron gate blocked their way.

"Master Chu, wait a moment. I will open the iron door of the dungeon right away."

Hei Baizi said to Chu Yuan.

"Go."

Chu Yuan nodded.

Heibaizi immediately walked to the side, inserted the key in his hand into a hole in the wall, and then slowly pushed the stick-like iron door mechanism upwards.

As the iron gate mechanism moved upwards, the iron gate also slowly rose.

Hearing the creaking sound coming from the mechanism in the wall as the iron door rose, Chu Yuan felt that the iron door must weigh at least several thousand pounds.

If it weren't for the mechanism, it would be impossible to open and close normally with manpower.

However, when he thought that the person imprisoned here was the former leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Woxing, he felt it was reasonable.

As the dungeon door rose, a cold wind blew out from the underground iron prison, as if the place below was not the dungeon where Ren Woxing was imprisoned, but the hell where evil spirits were imprisoned.

"Master Chu, this dungeon is located under a pond, so it is extremely damp and cold. Once you open the door, a gust of cold wind will blow out, but you will get used to it."

After opening the iron door of the dungeon, Hei Baizi said to Chu Yuan.

"Got it, let's go in."

Chu Yuan was the first to walk into the dungeon.

Heibaizi also hurriedly followed and walked down another three or five feet, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

This is a dungeon with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. There are more than ten bluestone steps extending down from the door. At the end of the steps is a pool of water filled with water and bottomless. A huge square iron cage is hung in the center of the dungeon, suspended above the pool, about six or seven feet above the water surface.

An old man wearing tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and an unclear face was curled up in an iron cage.

"It's not time for dinner, why are there people here?"

Hearing footsteps and seeing the light in the dungeon, the old man raised his head and observed the outside through the gaps in his hair. "Senior, it's me!"

Seeing Ren Woxing in the iron cage, Heibaizi knew that this was the time for him to be useful.

"It's you, second brother!"

Seeing that it is black and white, I can do whatever I want.

"Why did you bring a young Taoist priest here today?"

Ren Woxing looked at Chu Yuan who was standing in front of Hei Baizi and said.

"Senior, haven't you always said that besides the leader, your martial arts is the best in the world? It just so happens that recently a young Taoist priest came to our village and claimed that his swordsmanship was invincible in the world, so I thought of bringing him in to entertain you."

Heibaizi said in a flattering tone.

"You are not that old, but you are more arrogant than me?"

Ren Woxing was so angry that he laughed when he heard this. He became interested in Chu Yuan and looked at Chu Yuan standing next to Hei Baizi in the iron cage.

Chu Yuan looked young, probably in his early twenties.

"Are you so kind?"

Then Ren Woxing looked at Hei Baizi with suspicion again.

"I only ask for your mercy, Senior, and to teach me martial arts after you are done with my boredom."

Hei Baizi said.

He has been coveting Ren Woxing's "Star-Absorbing Art" for more than a day or two.

However, this matter concerned the important affairs of the leader Dongfang Bubai, so he did not dare to interfere and could only hope that Ren Woxing would fend for himself.

"Okay, I'll think about it, you can go now."

Let me do what I want.

Heibaizi glanced at Chu Yuan secretly, and after seeing Chu Yuan nodded slightly, he stuck the torch on the stone wall next to him and was about to leave.

"Wait, is this person going to die or live?"

Ren Woxing called out to Heibaizi.

"It's all right. If you are merciful, just spare his life."

Hei Baizi said.

He felt like laughing. This arrogant and ignorant Ren Woxing, who used to look down on him, actually thought that Chu Yuan in front of him was an unknown person.

Little did they know that this person was the leader's best friend and a top master known in the martial arts world as the Qingcheng Sword Immortal.

"Okay, you can go."

Ren Woxing waved his hand.

"Take care, senior. I'll be back in an hour."

Heibaizi left after saying a few words, and closed the dungeon door again before leaving.

"Boy, who are you to dare to claim that your swordsmanship is invincible in the world?"

After Hei Baizi left, Ren Woxing stood up from the iron cage, causing a crisp sound of the iron chains on his body hitting the cage.

Not only was he trapped in an iron cage, he was also tied up with several chains.

"He is a nobody, just a Taoist priest in the mountains!"

Chu Yuan said calmly.

He did not say his name.

Chu Yuan specifically found out that Ren Woxing had only been imprisoned here for twelve years, and the other party might have heard of his name before being imprisoned here.

"How dare a nameless person, a Taoist priest from the mountains, claim that his swordsmanship is invincible in the world?"

Ren Woxing laughed.

"Senior, you are just a prisoner, so you dare not say that your martial arts are invincible in the world, right?"

Chu Yuan said.

"Interesting. Your swordsmanship is unrivaled in the world. When you meet me, whose martial arts are unrivaled in the world, why don't you let me out for a competition?"

Let me do what I want.

He did not reveal to Chu Yuan that he was the former leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Woxing.

Chu Yuan shook his head calmly.

"What do you mean, kid?"

Ren Woxing slapped the iron cage and became anxious for a moment. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape. If the young Taoist in front of him was unwilling to let him out and compete with him, then this opportunity would be wasted.

"Although I am invincible in swordsmanship, I usually don't compete with others. If you want to compete with me, you need to agree to one condition of mine!"

Chu Yuan said.

"What conditions?"

Let me do what I want.

"The sect I practice in has few members, so I have set a rule. If you want to compete with me, you must return to the mountain with me and become a Taoist priest if you lose!"

Chu Yuan glanced at Ren Woxingdao in the iron cage.

"Haha, what a joke. How could I lose?"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Ren Woxing laughed.

"What if I win?" Ren Woxing changed his tone.

"It's up to you, senior." Chu Yuan said.

"Okay, then I promise you that if I lose, I will go back to the mountains with you to become a Taoist priest. If I win, will you also help me do something?"

Let me do what I want.

He had already planned to wait for Chu Yuan to be defeated, put Chu Yuan in an iron cage, then change into Chu Yuan's clothes and fight his way out of the dungeon.

"Of course, what is it?"

Chu Yuan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's nothing, actually. Just let me out first, and you'll know later."

Let me do what I want.

Of course he would not tell his purpose.

"How can I release the senior?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Woxing.

"There is a mechanism on the wall to lower and open the iron cage. Just do as I tell you."

Ren Woxing commanded Chu Yuan.

"Actually, there's no need to be so troublesome..."

Chu Yuan said.

"What do you mean?"

Just when Ren Woxing was confused.

Chu Yuan suddenly used his lightness skills to jump into the pool of water. He stepped lightly on the water surface with his feet a few times, splashing some water, and then landed outside the iron cage where Ren Woxing was imprisoned, with his body stuck to the cage.

"Little Taoist priest, what do you mean?"

Ren Woxing said with a puzzled look.

As a result, in front of Ren Woxing's puzzled eyes, he saw Chu Yuan holding one iron bar in each hand, and then he simultaneously activated the internal forces of "Sunflower Manual" and "Nine Heavens Gangqi" in his body. The two iron bars as thick as an adult's thumb, together with the horizontal iron bar in the middle, gradually twisted and deformed and were bent by Chu Yuan in front of Ren Woxing's incredulous eyes.

Then Chu Yuan continued to do the same thing. In less than a quarter of an hour, the side of the iron cage that was originally very strong and could trap Ren Woxing had been torn into a huge hole by Chu Yuan with his hands, which was large enough for one person to pass through. Chu Yuan walked into the iron cage calmly.

"Senior, there are still a few chains on your body. Allow me to open them one by one."

Chu Yuan glanced at Ren Woxing.

I saw that Ren Woxing was still wrapped in five chains, one on each of his limbs and waist, in order to limit Ren Woxing's space of movement and prevent him from escaping.

Chu Yuan picked up one casually, grabbed one with each hand like he did just now, and then pulled it hard.

Amidst the flying sparks, Chu Yuan tore the chain apart with his bare hands.

After a while, all five chains on Ren Woxing's body were broken.

Ren Woxing successfully regained his freedom, but he was not happy at this moment.

The look in Ren Woxing's eyes when he looked at Chu Yuan no longer had the contempt he had at the beginning, but was instead very solemn.

He could also break the chains, but he could never tear the iron cage open with his bare hands like Chu Yuan had just done.

If he had this ability, he would have escaped long ago. Why would he be locked up in this West Lake dungeon?

"Senior, now that you are free, can we compete?"

Chu Yuan said to Ren Woxing.

"Who are you, Taoist priest? With such power, you are definitely not an unknown person in the martial arts world!"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Ren Woxing was shocked and angry.

Originally, he planned to trick the Taoist priest into coming in, then lock him up inside, and then escape wearing his clothes. But now there is no need to do that because the iron cage has been destroyed.

"Master Ren, my name is Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan looked at Ren Woxing and smiled.

Since Ren Woxing had just agreed to the bet with him, he would stop pretending and just come clean.

"You know my identity? Who are you?"

Seeing that Chu Yuan knew his identity, Ren Woxing was shocked and angry. This proved that it was others who were plotting against him, not him plotting against others.

"Chu Yuan... I remember that there was a genius with outstanding talent in the Qingcheng Sect. At the age of eight, at Lin Yuantu's birthday banquet, he used his internal force to repel the Songshan Sect's Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin. Are you Yu Canghai's junior brother?"

Ren Woxing frowned.

"Yes, it's me, Chu Yuan. I am Chu Yuan."

Chu Yuan admitted.

"You are Chu Yuan? Are you here to plot against me?"

Ren Woxing's eyes turned red with anger.
