"Close the door." he said indifferently.
Ren Ping quickly pressed the black button on the door, and the alloy door closed again. As the door closed, the monk suddenly charged forward like lightning. As he passed Ye Tian, he was sent flying by a punch, smashing heavily against the alloy wall with a loud bang.
Before the door closed, the monk had attacked three times in succession, and each time Ye Tian had knocked him away.
"Boom!"
Once the door was tightly shut, everyone could only observe the situation inside through the monitors outside.
They saw the monk Zhan Ming crouch halfway, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian, and then he vanished. Even the cameras couldn't capture his movements.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, two blurred figures could be seen tumbling and colliding within the cell, emitting a series of dull impacts.
Three minutes later, the figures separated. The monk Zhan Ming sat on the ground, his clothes tattered, blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
Ye Tian stood there, his clothes intact, and asked coldly, "Do you want to continue fighting?"
The monk Zhan Ming waved his hand, "No more. There is still a gap between me and a Human Immortal."
Ye Tian: "Back then, did you become a demon to cultivate the Yi Jin Jing?"
The monk Zhan Ming sighed softly, "To avenge myself, I had no choice. But regrettably, although I cultivated the Yi Jin Jing, I only learned the superficial aspects. This scripture is not meant for humans to cultivate."
Ye Tian: "Oh? Not for humans to cultivate?"
The monk Zhan Ming glanced at Ye Tian, "If you can help me kill that person, I will tell you the secret of the Yi Jin Jing."
Ye Tian: "No matter what you give me, I will not kill for you."
The monk Zhan Ming looked at him, "You possess great strength yet maintain your principles. You are indeed qualified to receive it."
Saying this, he sat down cross-legged and added, "My enemy is named Zhou Futu. This person is extremely cruel and skilled at disguise. I do not ask you to kill him, but if he commits further evil deeds, I hope you can stop him."
Then, he used his fingernail to cut open his sternum and retrieved a thin piece of oiled paper from beneath his skin. He handed the oiled paper to Ye Tian, saying, "This is the cultivation technique hidden within the Yi Jin Jing. My aptitude is limited, and I have only comprehended a very small portion. Now, I give it to you."
Ye Tian took the oiled paper and asked, "Why are you giving this to me?"
The monk Zhan Ming said indifferently, "During this time, I have been contemplating Buddhist teachings and know that my sins are deep. I have decided not to leave here again in this lifetime."
Ye Tian then realized that after being defeated by him, the monk Zhan Ming's entire demeanor had changed, as if he had become a different person.
A thought struck him, "This is the real you, isn't it?"
The monk Zhan Ming nodded, "You may leave now."
Ye Tian remained silent for a moment and said, "Alright, I respect your choice."
He asked Ren Ping to open the door and then left the monk Zhan Ming inside.
Outside the door, Young Master Lei praised, "He's not afraid of a Human Immortal, defeating the monk Zhan Ming so easily!"
Chen Yongjian: "No matter how strong Zhan Ming is, he hasn't reached the Arhat realm. If he were an Arhat, he might have been able to fight a Human Immortal."
Ren Ping smiled, "Since the monk Zhan Ming doesn't want to leave, let him stay here for now."
The divine woman: "There's also Zhang Buchen, who cultivates evil arts. Do you want to meet him?"
Ye Tian: "What's the point of studying someone like that who has killed thousands of innocent people? It's better to just kill him directly!"
The divine woman: "His physique is very special. He can quickly recover from injuries."
Ye Tian: "Take me there!"
After walking over a hundred meters, Ye Tian saw another cell. Inside the cell was a box made of alloy, and a person was confined within it, with only their head exposed.
Upon seeing this person, Chen Yongjian said, "This is Zhang Buchen. He cultivated the Blood River Scripture back then and drained the blood of over a thousand civilians. That's all we know; the unknown victims are likely several times more. After we got out of prison, we didn't dare to release him."
Ye Tian: "Oh? Cultivating by absorbing blood?"
Zhang Buchen's eyes flickered with a dark red glow, and he smiled, "Oh, a Human Immortal has come here."
Ye Tian looked at him and asked, "How many people did you kill practicing your cultivation?"
Zhang Buchen said indifferently, "Not many, just over three thousand seven hundred and fifty."
Ye Tian: "What level have you reached with your Blood River Scripture?"
Zhang Buchen stared at him, "Do you want to try?"
