　　“I understand, Sister Lingyue.”
　　While responding like this, Xu Taiping took out two scrolls from the spiritual pearl in his abdomen.
　　These two scrolls were exactly the Ghost and God Paintings given by the Great Emperor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower after he reached the top of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
And the ones Xu Taiping took out from the ring at this moment were the Red Lion and the Old smoker from the Ghost and God Paintings.
　　As for the painting of the Ghost Lord of the Snow Region, because the seal of the Great Emperor of the Mysterious Wilderness could only trap him for ten years, Xu Taiping absolutely did not dare to summon him out again.
However, it was different for the Red Lion and the Old smoker. They were completely nurtured by the Mysterious Wilderness Tower. As long as the Mysterious Wilderness Tower was still there, they could not break free from the seal of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
So even though the Unforgettable Wind of the Great Emperor of the Mysterious Wilderness had failed, he could still use these two paintings.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　As he took out the scrolls, a heavy collision sound suddenly rang out outside the stone prison.
　　Xu Taiping knew that this should be the sound of the last stone door in the passage outside the stone prison opening.
　　Sure enough, not long after the sound of the collision, Xu Taiping heard a crisp “click click” of footsteps, walking towards the door of the stone cell where he was located.
Immediately, while he tried to urge the saber qi thunder in the acupoints sealed by the golden needle, he transmits to the Old smoker and the Red Lion in his heart and said:
“Old smoker, Red Lion, you guys wait in the painting first and come out when I give the order.”
　　The Red Lion let out a strange laugh and said：
　　“Got it.”
The Old smoker took a puff of smoke in the painting with a “puff” sound, and then replied in a solemn tone:
　　“Be careful, Young Master.”
　　Xu Taiping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, nodded imperceptibly and responded in his heart：
　　“I will.”
　　Just as they were talking, the footsteps in the passage suddenly stopped. Then, in another burst of mechanical expansion sounds, the door of the stone cell slowly rose with a “rumbling” sound.
　　After Xu Taiping’s eyes broke through to the state of enlightenment, they were no longer those of ordinary people. Therefore, even though it was pitch black in the west, he could still clearly see the appearance of the person at the door.
　　However, after seeing the appearance of the person coming at the door, Xu Taiping was stunned.
　　To be precise, there were two people standing at the door.
　　A man and a woman.
　　The woman was none other than Qian Xiaofu, the granddaughter of Elder Qian Yi of the Pure Yang Sword Sect.
　　And the man was actually Bai Di from Liuliu Village.
　　That Qian Xiaofu seemed to have guessed from Xu Taiping’s surprised gaze that Xu Taiping had already recognized her.
　　So she snorted coldly at Xu Taiping with a look of disgust and said：
　　“As I expected, you brat, you’re really a bad seed！”
　　When saying this, Qian Xiaofu’s figure “swished” and in just one flash, she came to Xu Taiping’s front and kicked Xu Taiping’s abdomen heavily.
And almost at the same time that Qian Xiaofu kicked out, the scroll where the Old smoker was located suddenly trembled but Xu Taiping immediately ordered the Old smoker in his heart and said:
“Old smoker, don’t come out!”
So the Old smoker was forcefully suppressed in the painting by Xu Taiping’s words.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　Almost at the same time, Qian Xiaofu’s foot heavily kicked on Xu Taiping’s abdomen.
　　Because there was no True Yuan Qi and blood to protect his body, Xu Taiping, who had taken this foot hard on his abdomen, had a somewhat distorted expression due to the pain.
　　However, contrary to his current expression, after confirming the strength of Qian Xiaofu’s foot, a relieved look appeared in Xu Taiping’s heart and he secretly said：
“Youdaoplaceholder0, I didn’t let the Old smoker come out.”
　　The reason for this relief.
　　That’s because from the force of Qian Xiaofu’s kick, he could confirm that this Qian Xiaofu was not a cultivator of the Jiuyuan Demon Sect.
And if just now, he had let the Old smoker show up it was very likely that the cultivator of the Jiuyuan Demon Sect hiding in the dark would discover his trump card.
　　“Cough, cough, cough！ ……”
Amid a bout of intense coughing, Xu Taiping sat up straight again, and then looked at Qian Xiaofu calmly and said:
　　“Miss Qian, barging into the Jiufu Great Prison is a serious crime.”
　　Qian Xiaofu snorted coldly, and then kicked Xu Taiping heavily again, and then said with a face full of anger：
　　“You are just a mere casual cultivator, what qualifications do you have to convict me？”
　　As she spoke, she saw that she kicked Xu Taiping again with a “bang” sound, and then continued：
　　“Let me tell you, there is no need to wait until two days later, at most tomorrow, my grandfather will bring people to take you away.”
　　“Even the Lord of the Jiufu Mansion won’t be able to stop it then！”
　　After coughing a few more times, Xu Taiping sat up again and looked at the Qian Xiaofu, and said with a sneer on his face：
　　“Since I’m already a dead man, then why did you bother to come and visit, Miss Qian？”
　　Just as Qian Xiaofu was about to speak, Bai Di, who had been silent beside her, suddenly came over and pulled her away and said：
　　“Miss Xiaofu, leave this bastard to me to interrogate.”
　　After hearing the address of “Xiao Fu”, Qian Xiaofu’s eyes suddenly softened. She immediately replied with an “en” and obediently stepped aside. Her manner was completely different from when she was facing Xu Taiping.
　　Bai Di walked up to Xu Taiping and coldly smiled, saying：
　　Chu Ping’an, to be honest, I really admire your courage.
　　Bai Di crouched down and continued：
　　You actually dare to kill the mountain-guard elder of the Ninth Mansion！
　　Xu Taiping didn’t say anything and just quietly stared back at him.
　　This gaze immediately reminded Bai Di of the situation when he was defeated in the sword duel that day.
　　Immediately, Bai Di stood up expressionlessly and then, without any warning, kicked Xu Taiping heavily in the chest.
　　Bang！ …
　　The huge force on Bai Di’s foot caused Xu Taiping’s body to leave the ground and smash heavily against the wall of the stone prison.
　　This kick made Xu Taiping almost faint from the pain.
　　At the same time, a voice came from outside the stone prison, warning Bai Di and Qian Xiaofu：
　　Make　less　noise.
　　Also, you only have the time for a cup of tea. Ask whatever you need to ask quickly.
　　Obviously, this was the elder who opened the door for Qian Xiaofu and Bai Di.
　　Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaofu immediately replied sweetly：
　　Elder Liu, don’t worry. We will finish asking soon.
　　After saying this, Qian Xiaofu turned her head to look at Bai Di and said with some embarrassment：
　　Brother Bai Di, we only have the time of a cup of tea left. You’d better hurry up.
　　Bai Di nodded and walked to Xu Taiping again and squatted down.
　　Bai Di said to Xu Taiping expressionlessly：
　　Chu Ping’an, I’ll give you a way out. Do you want it？
　　Xu Taiping raised his head, took a deep look at Bai Di, and then nodded and said：
　　Let’s　hear　it.
　　Bai Di said in a low voice：
　　Give me your body tempering method and boxing manual, and I can help you take out the soul needle on your body.
　　Xu Taiping smiled and said：
　　Do you think I will believe it？
　　Bai Di said expressionlessly：
　　Do you think you have a choice？
　　Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but turned his head to look at Qian Xiaofu behind and said：
　　Miss Qian, can you tell me what time it is now？
　　Although Qian Xiaofu was very confused about Xu Taiping’s thoughtless question, she didn’t get angry immediately but looked at Bai Di.
　　Bai Di thought for a while and finally nodded to Qian Xiaofu.
　　Seeing this, Qian Xiaofu said angrily：
　　When we came in, it was already the third quarter of the hour of Hai. It should be the hour of Zi by now.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping struggled to sit up from the ground, his body leaning against the cold stone wall behind him, one hand propping on the ground and the other hand resting on his raised knee. Then, with a “whoosh”, he exhaled a long mouthful of foul air from his chest.
Bai Di quietly looked at Xu Taiping sitting properly, and then asked with a confident expression on his face:
　　”There’s not much time left. Have you thought it through？”
　　Xu Taiping looked back at Bai Di’s gaze and shook his head calmly, saying：
　　”It’s you who don’t have much time.”
