Dan Qingsheng, Hei Baizi, Tubi Elder and the others waited outside.
Seeing Ding Ling and Huang Zhonggong coming out from inside, Dan Qingsheng glanced inquisitively.
Huang Zhonggong did not hide the truth from these brothers and spoke frankly.
Hei Baizi’s face changed dramatically, instinctively wanting to shout in protest, but when he saw Ding Ling’s deep gaze, he felt a natural fear, and the words that were about to co out swallowed back down.
From their interaction these days, Hei Baizi has already understood the difference between himself and Huang Zhonggong and the others.
Ding Ling treated Huang Zhonggong and others with warmth like a spring breeze, providing detailed explanations and discussing philosophies.
But towards him, the treatnt was lukewarm and passive, explanations seed like completing tasks, not making the effort to explain thoroughly.
Such distinct treatnt.
Naturally, it was because his earlier attitude had angered Ding Ling. Had he not realized later, it couldn’t be said that he and Ding Ling could not walk together.
If he were to oppose Ding Ling now, with Ding Ling aside, Lin Pingzhi and Qu Feiyan would undoubtedly harbor resentnt towards him. Just thinking about it made Hei Baizi anxious, so naturally, he extinguished the thought of obstruction.
He didn’t want to offend Ding Ling.
After all, Ding Ling’s cultivation now was at a level he could only look up to!
With a flick of a finger, perhaps he would be extinguished by Ding Ling. He now only wanted to cling tightly to Ding Ling’s powerful leg, how dare he oppose Ding Ling again.
Hei Baizi retreated.
Tubi Elder and Dan Qingsheng already had high recognition for Ding Ling and trusted Huang Zhonggong greatly, naturally following Huang Zhonggong’s lead.
The group imdiately made a decision.
To head to the cell where Ren Woxing was held.
Xiaang Wentian was overjoyed, almost unable to contain his laughter, looking at Ding Ling with eyes full of surprise, admiration, and recognition. He knew, if it weren’t for Ding Ling’s intervention, based on his ans and prestige, the chance of being swept out by the Four Friends of i Mansion would be even greater!
Clop clop!
The group twisted and turned, arriving at the center point on the far left of i Manor.
This was the core of the trapping array.
An ordinary person, even knowing the location of Ren Woxing’s detention, facing this trapping array, one careless move, getting locked in, forget about rescuing, whether they could get out themselves would be an issue.
Xiaang Wentian saw the crux of the matter, secretly relieved, yet speechless and helpless:
Dongfang Bubai dispatched a few First-class Experts to guard and detain Sect Leader Ren, which was one thing, but to set up such a complicated array! Forget just Xiaang Wentian, even ten Xiaang Wentians, without solving the array, couldn’t get Sect Leader Ren out!
Having realized this.
He valued Ding Ling even more, deciding that when Ren Woxing ca out later, he would imdiately explain the whole story to Ren Woxing.
As long as they could tily seize and control Ding Ling.
The path to being invincible and unifying Jianghu.
Might begin from here.
Clop clop!
Click click!
Constantly opening various gates, amidst ear-piercing cackles, entering one passage after another, finally after the last thick iron door opened, Ding Ling and his party finally saw an exquisite cage!
Seated at the bottom of West Lake.
Surrounded on all sides by dead ends.
Only one road leading here!
And even this road was laden with chanisms, layer upon layer of iron doors!
Even if an average Innate Expert ca, facing these chanisms and iron doors, they could only stare helplessly.
Xiaang Wentian grew more alard the more he looked, increasingly glad he did not rashly intrude.
Thud thud!
Huang Zhonggong stepped forward and knocked on the iron door.
No response ca.
Huang Zhonggong hesitated for a mont, glanced at Ding Ling, and spoke softly:
"Although Ren Woxing has been trapped in the cage beneath West Lake for over a decade, his energy remains as vigorous as ever! We must be cautious, lest we fall for his trick."
"Give the key, I’ll open it."
Ding Ling reached out his hand.
Hei Baizi breathed a sigh of relief and promptly handed over the key.
Ding Ling took the key and, under the watchful eyes of Xiaang Wentian and the others, inserted the key into the lock.
Crack!
A crisp sound.
The thick iron door, sealed for years and never opened, unlocked.
Ka-cha-cha!
The iron door was pushed open by Ding Ling’s hand.
And almost the instant it was half open!
Boom!
Suddenly, an imnse suction force emanated from the cage, accompanied by a startled shout, Hei Baizi, who was close by, was uncontrollably sucked in.
Huang Zhonggong was shocked, sprang forward, and grabbed Hei Baizi’s ankle.
Yet to no avail, as he too was sucked in.
Ding Ling sensed trouble, shouted aloud, deploying the Cloud-Piercing Step, inner strength activated and amplified, making him seem as though he were stepping on clouds, swiftly arriving before Hei Baizi, casually pushing to send the two flying back, then facing the overwhelming suction alone.
The suction rolled.
Like a twisting tornado storm.
Yet Ding Ling stood immovable as Mount Tai, regardless of how the tornado storm exerted its force, it couldn’t move him a fraction.
With a surprised ’huh’ sound, Ding Ling finally saw the true face of the one who made the move.
The man was dressed in rags, unkempt and dirty, his face pale as snow with not a hint of color, his eyebrows sharp as knives, face dignified and overbearing, though old, still faintly displaying the grace and handsoness of his forr years.
He sat on a stone bed, his eyes like lightning, eting Ding Ling’s gaze, seemingly sparking so invisible fire.
"Who are you?"
Unable to suck Ding Ling in, he placed his hand on his knee, slightly tilting his head to look at the tall, graceful Ding Ling:
"The four scoundrels of West Lake i Manor absolutely couldn’t have soone as strong as you! In Jianghu, I’ve never seen such a remarkable figure as you. Are you a rising star?!"
He lanted:
"I hadn’t expected that my re detention at the bottom of West Lake for over a decade would give rise to soone so outstanding as you in Jianghu."
For a ti.
He couldn’t help but feel sowhat disheartened.
But soon.
Reviving his spirits, his heart quickly turned, thinking:
"Can’t suck in this young man from afar, but being closer might work. If I could absorb this young man’s entire power for myself, I could definitely reach even greater heights, stepping into the absolute peak!"
Thinking thus.
He looked at Ding Ling warmly:
"You opened the prison door, intending to let out? Or what do you want?"
"Naturally, to let you out."
"Oh?!"
Ren Woxing was greatly astonished, moved, and changed color:
"Really?!"
So disbelief lingered.
Xiaang Wentian couldn’t hold back anymore, stepped out from the side, entered the cell, and first made a deep bow to Ren Woxing, then said:
"Sect Leader! It’s true!"
"Xiaang Wentian!"
Ren Woxing instantly recognized Xiaang Wentian, overjoyed:
"It’s you rescuing ?!"
"Frankly speaking, it’s embarrassing."
Xiaang Wentian felt a bit flush:
"Entering here is all thanks to Brother Ding Ling, I dare not claim credit."
"Ding Ling?"
Ren Woxing pointed at Ding Ling:
"Is it him?"
"Exactly."
Xiaang Wentian nodded, his face full of awe and admiration, saying:
"Without Ding Ling’s help, I definitely wouldn’t have reached here."
