Chapter 95 Dad, Listen to My Explanation

"Don't say such harsh words, Senior Ren! I'm actually here to let you out."

Chu Yuan looked at Ren Woxing and smiled.

"Let me out? Are you really that kind?"

Ren Woxing looked at Chu Yuan with suspicion.

"Of course, but Senior Ren has just promised me that he will compete with me. If he loses, he will follow me to Qingcheng Mountain to become a Taoist priest."

Chu Yuan said to Ren Woxing.

"So this is your purpose!"

Let me be angry.

It turned out that he fell into Chu Yuan's trap from the very beginning.

"Is this what Dongfang Bubai meant? I want to know, what conditions did Dongfang Bubai use to persuade you to take action?"

Ren Woxing then asked again.

He had been imprisoned in the basement of Plum Manor in West Lake for twelve years, and had no idea that Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai were close friends. He even thought that Dongfang Bubai had paid a huge price to ask Chu Yuan to help him.

Twenty years ago, Chu Yuan had already shown such amazing talent that even I noticed him. Twenty years later, it was very likely that he had grown into a top master.

At least he admitted that he couldn't do the stunt of tearing the iron cage with his bare hands just now.

"Really? Brother Dongfang gave me the Sunflower Manual."

Chu Yuan joked and let me do whatever I wanted.

The reason why he did this was simply for the sake of friendship.

As for Dongfang Bubai giving him the "Nine Yin Manual", he also gave Dongfang Bubai the "Sword Manual of Exorcism".

"So you like martial arts, Taoist Chu. As long as you let me go, I will give you my Star Absorbing Technique."

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, Ren Woxing immediately used his own "Star Absorbing Technique" as a temptation, hoping that Chu Yuan would turn against him.

"I'm sorry, Senior. I'm a man of my word. Since I've already promised Brother Dongfang, it's impossible for me to betray him in secret."

Chu Yuan smiled.

"Then come on!"

A hint of anger flashed across Ren Woxing's eyes.

Although the skills and methods Chu Yuan just displayed did give him a huge shock.

But he didn't think that he had no chance of winning.

Besides, how could a demonic hero like him be willing to surrender?

"If you want me to go up the mountain and become a Taoist priest, you have to defeat me first!"

Ren Woxing suddenly attacked, stretching out his hands like a cloud dragon exploring the sea, and using all his strength, he struck towards Chu Yuan's chest.

Chu Yuan was not afraid at all. He also stretched out his hands from his sleeves and swung his palms as his sleeves swung.

boom!
The two men slammed their palms together.

The violent energy centered on the two people and swept towards all directions of the dungeon.

The iron cage kept vibrating violently, not to mention the risk of falling into the pool of water. The violent air waves hit the surface of the pool beneath their feet, and with the two of them as the center, waves nearly ten feet high were raised in all directions, blocking the view of the two men's fight!
bang bang bang~
The sound of palms breaking through the air continued to come from the waves.

In this small dungeon, the sound was like thunder in the waves.

……

Above the dungeon.

The Four Friends from Jiangnan and Ren Yingying were waiting anxiously at the entrance of the dungeon.

Suddenly, all the ornamental fish in the nearby pond swam to the surface of the water and scrambled to jump into the air.

"what happened?"

Ren Yingying looked at Huang Zhong Gongdao, one of the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

"Saint Aunt, I don't know either."

Huang Zhonggong looked confused.

They also saw that the lotus flowers and lotus leaves in the pond began to shake, creating visible ripples on the surface of the water, and the pond was in chaos.

Ren Yingying suddenly felt herself lose her sense of direction, staggered, and almost fell to the ground.

The same is true for the other four people including the Four Friends of Jiangnan.

"What's going on? Is there going to be an earthquake?"

Feeling the ground shaking, all the fish and shrimp in the pond kept jumping out of the water, Huang Zhonggong said with a confused look on his face.

Having lived in Meizhuang for so many years, they have never encountered such a situation.

"No, it's underground. Uncle Chu and my father are fighting. The ground is shaking because of them."

After Ren Yingying observed carefully, she suddenly spoke.

The four friends from Jiangnan also discovered that the slight shaking of the ground was the center of the dungeon. In addition to the fish and shrimp trying to jump out of the water, there were even stones rolling down from the rockery.

But a little further away from the dungeon, nothing happened and everything was normal!
At this moment, a large number of bubbles and corpses of fish and shrimps emerged from the surface of the pond.

boom!
Followed by a muffled sound coming from the bottom of the pond.

A whirlpool formed in the middle of the pond, which grew from small to large, carrying the corpses of fish and shrimp, as well as some lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pond, which leaked to the bottom. The water level in the pond dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It didn't take long for the water in the pond to dry up, leaving a large hole with a diameter of nearly ten feet in the center of the bottom of the pond.

"Oh no, my father and Uncle Chu are still down in the cave."

When Ren Yingying saw this scene, her expression changed and she was about to run down to the dungeon.

boom!
Just then, there was a loud noise like thunder.

Two figures leaped out of the big hole at the bottom of the pond one after another and landed on the ground nearby.

One was a young Taoist priest in his early twenties, wearing a black Taoist robe, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament; the other was an old man wearing tattered clothes, with gray hair and beard, six feet tall, with a long face, and a snow-white complexion without a trace of blood.

The only difference was that the young Taoist was dry and clean, with no trace of dirt on his hair and robe from being washed by dirty water.

The old man was in a rather disheveled state. His body and hair had been washed by mud and water. Not only was he soaked, but there was also some mud and sand on his hair and clothes.

These two people were Chu Yuan and Ren Woxing, who had just fought a fierce battle in the dungeon and escaped from it as they saw the dungeon being flooded.

"Senior, you lost. Come back with me to Qingcheng Mountain to become a Taoist priest. You are destined to be with my Taoist sect!"

Chu Yuan looked at Ren Woxing who looked a little embarrassed.

Ren Woxing was indeed no match for him. If he had not shown mercy just now, Ren Woxing would be a corpse now.

"Bah, bullshit, I have a connection with your Qingcheng Sect."

Ren Woxing was so angry at Chu Yuan that he started cursing.

If you ask him, a devil who has been the leader of a cult, to become a Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain, he will never go.

"As the former leader of the Demon Cult, are you prepared to break your promise and be laughed at by the world?"

Chu Yuan asked Ren Woxing.

If Ren Woxing is unwilling to keep his promise and go to Qingcheng Mountain with him.

If he can't be soft, he will use hard tactics.

Anyway, with his martial arts skills, he could temporarily seal Ren Woxing's acupoints and forcibly take Ren Woxing to Qingcheng Mountain.

Once he reached Mount Qingcheng, it would be no longer up to Ren Woxing whether he wanted to become a Taoist priest or not.

Ren Woxing seemed to have seen Chu Yuan's determination to take him to Mount Qingcheng. He knew that he was now at the mercy of others. Even if he was unwilling, with the other party's martial arts, he could still be taken to Mount Qingcheng by force.

"I have one last trick. If I lose, I will follow you to Qingcheng Mountain. If I win, you will let me go. How about that?"

Ren Woxing's expression was uncertain. He pondered for a long time and decided to give it a try.

"can."

Chu Yuan nodded.

He knew what Ren Woxing's trump card was, which was nothing more than the "Star Absorbing Technique".

But Ren Woxing knew nothing about him. This competition was not a fair one from the beginning and Ren Woxing was bound to lose.

"The Star Absorbing Technique!"

Seeing that Chu Yuan agreed, Ren Woxing shouted, stood still, and then circulated his internal energy, allowing the Qi to flow through his Dantian. The Qi sea in his Dantian suddenly turned into an abyss. A powerful suction force came from Ren Woxing's Dantian Qi sea, passed through his meridians to his palms, and Ren Woxing clenched his palms together, sucking Chu Yuan who was a dozen feet away.

The wind is blowing!

Taoist robes fluttering!

Chu Yuan felt that the internal force in his body seemed to be stirring. But it was just stirring!

Chu Yuan practiced two martial arts!
"Sunflower Manual" and "Nine Heavens Gangqi"!
Plus the ability to rebound that I just acquired.

Any one of them can break Ren Woxing's "Star Absorbing Technique". If it is the "Northern Sea Divine Art" in the Tianlong world, he might still be afraid.

But Ren Woxing's "Star Absorbing Technique" is too powerful.

Chu Yuan even felt that even if he didn't master the "Sunflower Manual" and came to find Ren Woxing, Ren Woxing's "Star Absorbing Art" would not have any effect on him.

"I was too cautious this time, but it's never wrong to be cautious."

After Chu Yuan shook his head, he used the "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

With his legs slightly bent, he supported himself with his hands. As he gathered his energy, his hands slowly dropped down, and an invisible aura protected Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan used the "Nine Heavens Gang Qi", and the "Star Absorbing Technique" that originally made his internal energy stir, completely lost its effect.

"What kind of martial arts are you doing?"

Feeling that his "Star Absorbing Technique" suddenly had no effect on the opponent, Ren Woxing's face changed drastically.

He also remembered what happened just now, when he and Chu Yuan were fighting in the dungeon. The dome of the dungeon was broken by them, and the water from the pond outside poured back down, soaking him.

As soon as the pool water reached Chu Yuan, there seemed to be an elliptical air shield around Chu Yuan, protecting him firmly.

So when the two men came out of the dungeon, Chu Yuan had no water stains on his body, but he was soaked like a drowned chicken.

"Nine Heavens Gang Qi, a martial art I created myself!"

Chu Yuan replied, "Let me go on my way."

Afterwards, he used the internal force of the "Sunflower Manual" and the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" that he had cultivated to gain the ability to rebound after simultaneously storing them into his dantian qi sea.

Ren Woxing, who had not yet had time to withdraw his power, immediately felt a suction force coming from Chu Yuan that was exactly the same as the "Star Absorbing Technique".

"Impossible, how come you also know the Star Absorbing Technique?"

Ren Woxing said in horror.

Because they were both using the "Star Absorbing Technique", the two suction forces were offset at the same time. He was caught off guard, was knocked back several steps, and fell directly to the ground.

"father!"

Seeing her father fall, Ren Yingying hurried forward and helped Ren Woxing up from the ground.

"I don't know the Star Absorbing Technique, but I do have the ability to bounce back all attacks."

Chu Yuan finished his training and walked forward, looking at Ren Woxing who was helped up by Ren Yingying.

"I…I lost!"

Ren Woxing, who was helped up by Ren Yingying, was silent for a long time and then let out a long sigh.

He had a very high opinion of himself before. He looked down upon all the masters in the world except Dongfang Bubai who imprisoned him. He never thought that there would be such a genius in the world!
His martial arts skills were so superb that he was no match for him.

"Senior, please accept defeat and follow me back to Qingcheng Mountain. If you don't want to, don't blame me for using force."

Chu Yuan looked at Ren Woxingdao with a half-smile on his face.

"I am willing to go back with you."

After a moment's silence, Ren Woxing finally agreed.

Just as Chu Yuan said, even if he didn't want to, Chu Yuan would force him to go back. In that case, he might as well save some dignity for himself.

Unless he doesn't want to live anymore and threatens to die.

The problem is that for a tyrant like him, his character is extremely selfish and cold. He can do anything, even abandon his relatives, but he will not joke with his own life.

"You are my daughter, Yingying?"

After agreeing to return to Qingcheng Mountain with Chu Yuan, Ren Woxing turned his gaze to Ren Yingying beside him.

"Dad, I'm Yingying."

Ren Yingying took off her veil and said with red eyes.

It was the first time she saw her father in twelve years.

She was only six years old when her father disappeared and was imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai.

Now she almost forgot what her father looked like.

"Yingying, you've suffered so much!"

Let me do what I want.

He felt a little puzzled. He was released by Chu Yuan, so why did his daughter Ren Yingying appear here?

However, because he had just escaped from the dungeon and had agreed to Chu Yuan's request to go to Qingcheng Sect, he was in a low mood and did not think about it too much.

"Messenger, it seems the mission has been accomplished."

When the Four Friends of Jiangnan saw Chu Yuan defeat and subdue Ren Woxing, the eldest brother Huang Zhonggong came over and said.

"You guys, don't let me see you from now on!"

When he saw the Four Friends of Jiangnan and thought of the twelve years when these four people had locked him up in the dungeon, Ren Woxing's eyes turned cold and he wished he could kill these four people as soon as possible.

"Senior, since you have decided to follow the envoy to Qingcheng Mountain, you must cultivate yourself and change your temper."

Huang Zhonggong laughed.

He is not afraid of letting me do what I want.

Although Ren Woxing has escaped from trouble now, he is still under pressure from Chu Yuan and cannot cause any trouble.

"You don't have to call me an envoy. I was just trying to help your leader. He gave me a token just to make you trust me. Now that the matter is settled, you can just call me Taoist Chu."

Chu Yuan said to his four friends from Jiangnan.

"Yes, Master Chu."

The four friends from Jiangnan said one after another.

Chu Yuan's martial arts just now really amazed them.

Unexpectedly, even the previous leader, Ren Woxing, was his disciple. No wonder he has such a close relationship with the leader.

"Master Chu, this is your first time in Jiangnan. If you are not in a hurry to leave, the four of us brothers will host a banquet for you tonight. It won't be too late for you to take a look around West Lake before you leave. The beauty of West Lake is unique in Jiangnan."

Hei Baizi, one of the Four Friends of Jiangnan, rolled his eyes and made an invitation.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you these few days."

Chu Yuan agreed.

Now that you have come to Jiangnan, how can you not visit the beautiful West Lake!

"Third brother, fourth brother, why don't you go and prepare the wine and food? Let's treat Taoist Chu well today."

Seeing that Chu Yuan agreed, Huang Zhonggong, the eldest of the Four Friends of Jiangnan, said to his third brother Tu Biweng and fourth brother Dan Qingsheng.

"Yes!"

"We'll go down and make arrangements right away."

Tu Bi Weng and Dan Qingzi went down to make arrangements.

Chu Yuan and his group returned to the pavilion where the Four Friends of Jiangnan had entertained their guests in the beginning.

Xiang Wentian was still standing there like a statue, but he stopped cursing. Maybe he was tired of cursing.

Seeing Chu Yuan and the others coming back, he was about to continue scolding them, but when he saw Ren Woxing following them, he was surprised and delighted and said, "Master!"

Zuo Lengchan was startled when he heard Xiang Wentian's voice. He then recognized Xiang Wentian whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years. Ren Woxing asked in surprise, "Xiang Zuoshi, you are here too?"

Xiang Wentian said, "I thought the young lady was going to join forces with Dongfang Bubai to harm the leader, but I didn't expect that I misunderstood the young lady."

Ren Woxing smiled confidently and said, "How is this possible? Yingying is my daughter, how could she possibly harm me?"

Chu Yuan walked forward and untied Xiang Wentian's acupuncture points: "How is it, Xiang Zuoshi, I said we are not doing anything bad to the senior, right?"

Xiang Wentian ignored Chu Yuan. After regaining his freedom, Xiang Wentian bowed to Zuo Lengchan and then said to Ren Woxing: "The young lady came here with this Taoist priest surnamed Chu. The Taoist priest surnamed Chu took out Dongfang Bubai's Sun and Moon Black Iron Order..."

Ren Woxing seemed to have thought of something and interrupted Xiang Wentian, "Wait, you said Yingying came here with this Taoist priest?"

"That's right, Master, is there anything wrong with this?" Xiang Wentian said, "I misunderstood Miss, but did Dongfang Bubai give the Taoist priest the Sun and Moon Black Iron Order just to release you? Impossible, there must be some other conspiracy."

Ren Woxing looked at his daughter Ren Yingying who had just helped him up. The smile on his face gradually disappeared and his expression became cold.

"Yingying, can you tell me what's going on?"

Let me do what I want.

"Dad, listen to my explanation!"

Seeing the expression on her father's face turn cold, Ren Yingying hurriedly explained.
