Chapter 341 Acting
"Just tell me what you need help with. I value integrity above all else! Since you've helped me so much, I'll do my best to help you in any way that's within my power."
Bai Ke's eerie smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a righteous and awe-inspiring expression as he confidently patted his chest.
Qian San was lost in thought and didn't notice the change in Bai Ke's expression.
But Tian Xin and the others saw it clearly—that classic smile… Bai Ke always had this expression when he was about to kill someone, no doubt about it.
They all felt a chill run down their spines, realizing that the poor spirit of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower, Qian San, was definitely in for a terrible time.
"Thank you so much, young hero! This is very simple, you can definitely do it!" Qian San excitedly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Bai Ke, then bowed deeply and said:
"As you know, my remnant soul has been trapped in this Immortal Imprisonment Tower for tens of thousands of years. Now that I have a physical body, I would like to ask for your help to break free and let me see the outside world!"
"Oh? Is that how it is... No problem, just tell me exactly how to do it," Bai Ke said with a smile.
“Look,” Qian San stood up and pointed to the dome of the Prisoner Tower, saying:
“There is a hidden restrictive rune on the dome. It is the core of the entire Immortal Imprisonment Tower. If you and the others help me attack this core, we can weaken the restrictive power of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower. Then I can use the loophole to escape.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ke stroked his chin thoughtfully, then looked at Feng Yu and Lin Yun, and asked in a serious voice:
"Elder Feng, Elder Lin, are your injuries any better? Are you able to help me escape this senior's predicament?"
Seeing Bai Ke's feigned righteousness, the two couldn't help but twitch their lips, thinking to themselves: This kid clearly has murderous intent, but he still wants to drag us into this charade. Sigh.
After a long while, Feng Yu finally managed to say, "Well... I'm almost recovered. If you want to help, then we'll help."
“Very well, then let’s get up. Let’s attack the restriction on the dome of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower together. Senior, please point out the exact location to us.” Bai Ke nodded and said to Qian San.
"No, no, young hero, you can just call me Qian San." Qian San waved his hand in a flustered manner.
He then unleashed a burst of spiritual energy from the center of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower's dome, where a white cross-shaped mark appeared. Qian San continued:
"Please join forces to attack the area I marked. It would be best to use concentrated divine powers for continuous bombardment. The immortal energy used to defend this Immortal Imprisonment Tower has already been exhausted by me, and it will be easy to blast a hole in it."
Bai Ke nodded, then flew up, took out the Nine-Star Jade Bamboo, poured some spiritual power into it, and began to attack the cross mark.
Meanwhile, Lin Yun and Feng Yu, who had been dragged into the act by Bai Ke, looked unwilling. Seeing that Bai Ke had started acting, they could only perfunctorily fire a few spirit bullets at the cross mark.
"Ha, behold my Heaven-Destroying Divine Staff!" Bai Ke roared, his moves incredibly flashy, but in reality, he was wielding the Thirty-Six Styles of Dog-Beating Staff Technique against the cross mark.
Feng Yu and Lin Yun, who realized that Bai Ke was just going through the motions, were both speechless. They didn't even bother to deal with Ling Dan anymore and simply crossed their arms and watched Bai Ke's performance.
Seeing that Feng Yu and the other person had stopped, Qian San, who was standing to the side, asked anxiously:
"Fellow Daoists, why don't you continue fighting? That young hero's attacks aren't strong enough! The central restriction of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower hasn't even begun to loosen yet, why did you suddenly stop?"
"I'm tired, I need to rest."
"I used up a lot of spiritual energy earlier, so I need to rest for a bit."
Lin Yun and Feng Yu both replied coldly, their tone extremely impatient.
Qian San knew that the situation was not in his best interest, so he could only mutter a resentful grumble and turn to look at Bai Ke, who seemed to be attacking the barrier with all his might.
Bai Ke seemed to have gotten hooked on it, and he practiced the Thirty-Six Styles of Dog-Beating Stick Techniques in its entirety, right in front of the cross mark.
Beating a dog's head with a stick, beating two dogs with a stick, turning a dog upside down, hitting a dog's back diagonally...
Finally, Bai Ke delivered the final blow with the finishing move of the Dog-Beating Stick Technique – "No Dogs Under Heaven".
How could the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, which had already been reduced to bullying low-level cultivators, possibly shake the sturdy restrictions of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower?
Despite the Nine-Star Jade Bamboo continuously striking the barrier, creating a seemingly impressive display, not even a spectacle of dust fell from the spot marked by the cross.
"Huff, huff, so tired. Why is this restriction so strong? I even used my strongest divine power, the Heaven-Destroying Staff Technique, but I still can't break it!"
Bai Ke floated above the crowd, supporting himself on his knees, panting heavily, pretending to be exhausted.
Those below, who knew Bai Ke was putting on an act, sighed speechlessly.
Feng Yu's lips twitched, and he mentally cursed, "What is this brat up to? Didn't he say that move was called the Heaven-Shattering Divine Staff? How come it's become the Heaven-Destroying Staff Technique now? Can't he at least put some effort into his acting?!"
Still oblivious to what was going on, Qian San foolishly shouted at Bai Ke in the sky:
"Young hero! The power isn't enough! You should use that divine ability that can condense blood orbs; its power is definitely sufficient!"
"No way! That move consumes too much energy! I can only use it once a day!"
Bai Ke pretended to put his palms together in front of his mouth and shouted back, imitating Qian San.
"Young hero, what other powerful divine abilities do you possess? Show them to us quickly!"
"Wait! I remember now! I also have an extremely powerful palm technique called the Five Poisons Wall-Shattering Palm. Why don't we try this?"
"Alright, alright! As long as it's powerful, use it!"
Then Bai Ke performed a set of Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms on the cross mark, but the result was obvious: the restrictions on the Immortal Imprisonment Tower remained unbroken.
Qian San panicked. He seemed to realize that Bai Ke was just giving him the runaround, and couldn't help but yell:
"Young hero, if you are unwilling to help me escape, you can just say so. Why play tricks on me!"
"Oh?"
Bai Ke laughed, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Qian San, startling the latter, who trembled and pointed at Bai Ke, saying in a shaky voice:
"You, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do... Heh heh, I've gone to such lengths to help you break the restriction, and you still dare to bark at me?" Bai Ke grabbed Qian San by the neck and roared menacingly.
"You think you're worthy of my help? Who do you think you are?"
"You...you ungrateful wretch!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ke once again revealed his classic eerie smile, and blood flames erupted from his hand...
