“What do we do next? Do we keep watching?” Seeing Zhou Yi’s uncertain expression, Mr. Bai scratched his ears and spoke.

“When that fellow finds the secret manual of the Heavenly King, won’t it be easy for us to join forces to follow him and launch a sneak attack? Why don’t you poison him in advance and weaken him?”

Becoming a Connate Grandmaster was the ultimate dream of the martial arts world. Mr. Bai, who had always been indifferent to everything, was no exception.

The history of Heavenly King Cang had long spread in the martial world. Before the age of thirty, he was unknown. After obtaining a divine technique, he reached the Connate realm in ten years. He became a Martial Grandmaster and joined the Alliance Leader of Jiangnan. His power was unparalleled for a time. Other beauties such as gold and silver were just supplementary items.

“Are you stupid?” Zhou Yi pointed at his clothes. “I’m a prison guard. There’s no need to follow him.”

“True!”

Mr. Bai suddenly understood. He looked at Zhou Yi, who was walking towards cell A1. He wanted to ask what the name of the divine technique was, but he was afraid of losing one of his few friends.

…

Cell A-1. It was empty. Every corner was clean.

After killing the prison attackers that night, the Uniformed Guard investigated this cell thoroughly. They even scraped off three layers from the wall.

“Is he trying his luck or does he know something that even the Uniformed Guard cannot find?”

Zhou Yi had seen the miserable appearance of Heavenly King Cang. Most of his bones were broken, and he even needed to be fed, so he could not leave the fine steel torture rack.

Every part of the torture rack was probed with inner Qi. Even the shackles and chains were made of solid steel. There was no lack of inner Qi experts among the Uniformed Guards. They must have also probed the cell before. The Heavenly King could not hide his inheritance so simply.

“It must be something that outsiders can’t search…”

Zhou Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He placed his palm on the torture rack and allowed his inner Qi entered it in the same way as the voice transmission secret technique.

“The Heaven Devouring Demon Technique!”

The voice of the Heavenly King suddenly sounded in his ears, followed by a mnemonic chant of more than 3,000 words. It taught him how to devour the inner Qi of others and fuse them for his own use.

There was a method to break through to the Connate realm. It was extremely simple and crude, and there was nothing mysterious about it.

Internal Qi for 500 years. Once circulated, it could forcefully mobilize the heaven and earth essence energy and allow him to advance to the Connate realm!

At the end, Heavenly King Cang exhorted, “The mutated inner qi refined by the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique is very strange. It reduces one’s lifespan by 50%. Every generation has top experts. They can continue to pass down the legacy and have endless wealth. The Cang family disciples must not be greedy for the Connate realm…”

“No wonder the Heavenly King is only in his fifties and is a Connate Grandmaster. But he looks so old!”

Zhou Yi listened to the complete cultivation technique and used the voice transmission secret technique again. As expected, the voice of the Heavenly King Cang sounded again. Upon closer inspection, the voices in the background seems softer.

“This guy must be the descendant of Heavenly King Cang. If he can’t find the demonic technique, something will definitely happen.”

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment. It was better to be safe than sorry. He had risked his life to obtain the clan’s inheritance, so he might as well take advantage of the situation and send him away.

Peace makes money!

When he returned to Prison A-6, he saw Mr. Bai squatting in the corner and sighing.

“Which lady are you thinking of now?”

Zhou Yi listened to him speak, and most of what heard at this time had to do with Mr. Bai flaunting his beauty in the martial arts world. Something about being sixth in the martial arts world’s rouge ranking, something about an extraordinary female sword immortal, and a daughter of the Jiangnan aristocratic family…

After hearing so much, he understood that Mr. Bai’s imprisonment was not torture, but more like avoiding a debt of love!

“I’m missing my friends from the past.”

Mr. Bai raised his hand, his eyes filled with love as he sang a strange song he had heard from Zhou Yi. “Friends, friends…”

Zhou Yi interrupted Mr. Bai and said, “Stop! Do you want to know the cultivation technique of Heavenly King Cang?”

“You’ll tell me?”

Mr. Bai’s figure flashed, leaving several afterimages in the air, and instantly landed in front of the prison door.

Zhou Yi said, “This cultivation technique is called the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique. It can devour and refine the inner Qi of others. The specific refinement method…”

“Shh! It’s indeed a demonic technique. No wonder the Heavenly King could become a grandmaster in ten years!” Mr. Bai took a deep breath and waved his hand. “It’s good that you know the name. You can use it to brag to others in the future. Don’t tell me the content of the cultivation technique, lest you can’t help but practice it.”

“It’s about bragging to a woman, isn’t it?”

Zhou Yi’s gaze was disdainful, but he could not help but feel envious. The Dao Fruit of Eternal Life did not have a beautifying effect, and its appearance was still ordinary.

“This cultivation technique also has flaws. After absorbing energy for five years, one’s lifespan will be shortened by a year. Before one becomes old, they will decline first. Even Heavenly King Cang found this difficult to reverse from the grandmaster realm.”

“All the more reason not to practice! Being strong is one thing, but being handsome is another!” Mr. Bai pointed at his own face. “We don’t rely on fighting in the martial arts world. Just with this face, I’ve survived many dangers. That day in the royal palace, hundreds of swords were pointed at us. In the end, the princess personally helped us out…”

…

Zhou Yi could not stand this fellow’s smugness and ran away with the bucket.

…

In the blink of an eye, another month passed.

After obtaining the Heaven Devouring Demon Technique, Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to cultivate it. He was still secretly observing that person’s movements.

Early that morning.

Zhou Yi came to the Sky Prison for the roll call. He found that the Imperial Guard was on duty outside and the Uniformed Guard was searching inside.

“Zhou Yi, someone escaped from prison last night. Apparently, one of them killed another prisoner and disguised himself.”

Feng Qiao continued in a low voice, “Commandant Lu received money from Superintendent Xiao of the Ministry of Justice and interrogated the criminal in the middle of the night. He wanted to cripple him, but who would have thought that he was a martial arts expert!”
