Outside the prison, the demons could only hear the cries of the little fox, uo see what was happening inside.

  "That... that person was ordered by the demon suppressor to..."

  "Shh, silence!"

  "Aren't you afraid the demon suppressor left some spell behind? How many lives do you have tossip like this?"

  The otion from the little fox's cell sparked whispers and discussions among the demons in the prison.

  ...

  Boom!

  A surge of fire spiritual energy flooded into Lin Hao's cell.

  Uo absorb it all, the spiritual energy accumuted, growing increasingly violent.

  The rampant fire spiritual energy tinuously battered the prison's formatioing the other demons who saw it as a ce to escape.

  But before they could act, Han Liyue flew in, her beautiful eyes fshing with golden light. She softly anded, "Seal!"

  Immediately, the protective formations of each cell were activated, and a thousand flying swords patrolled the prison.

  Wherever the sword light reached, the demons bowed their heads.

  After trolling the se, Han Liyue iigated the source of the disturbance.

  The cell was filled with violent fire spiritual energy, which amazed her.

  Meanwhile.

  Lin Hao had regained crity. After abs the little fox's Primordial Yin, he had suppressed the fire within him. To his surprise, he found himself at the peak of the Foundatioablishment early stage, not expeg such a great be from the little fox.

  Moreover, he felt there was more to gain. Sensing the cell still brimming with violent fire spiritual energy, he quickly sat down to cultivate.

  He could use this to break through to the mid Foundatioablishment stage!

  As Lin Hao meditated and absorbed with all his might, the rampant fire spiritual energy in the cell surged towards him like a flood, being absorbed into his dantian.

  "Break through for me!"

  Lin Hao shouted in his heart.

  Then he felt the spiritual power within him break through a barrier, rag into a wider path.

  All the fire spiritual energy in the cell was absorbed, and the cell returo calm. At this moment, the little fox, who had fainted from the ordeal, slowly regained sciousness.

  Recalling what had just happened, she gred fiercely at the maating.

  g!

  Her slender fingers sprouted sharp cws, fshing with a cold gleam.

  She wao take advantage of Lin Hao's meditation to slit his throat with her cws!

  But... when her cws were at his throat, she hesitated.

  She retained a sliver of rationality, knowing this man had siderable strength and likely held a signifit position in the sect, only puo be here for some mistake. Killing him would not end well for her.

  Her cws retracted, and she merely watched the man coldly.

  "Hey, you filthy human, are you really meditating, or just pretending?"

  Lin Hao had actually been awake for a while, digesting the bes of dual cultivation with the little fox, with a strand of his divine sense monit the outside.

  He saw all of the little fox's as, from showing her cws to retrag them.

  This little fox actually held back. Lin Hao's lips curled into a smile, recalling their earlier enta, finding it absurd.

  Humans and demons were on different paths; what kind of trouble had he gotten himself into!

  Just as he was about to end his meditation.

  Suddenly, the cell door opened.

  Han Liyue entered, seeing Lin Hao in tattered clothes, sitting in the er, her brows furrowed instantly.

  With a wave of her delicate hand, a white ribbon flew out, striking the little fox and smming her against the stone wall of the cell.

  Pfft!

  The little fox spat out a mouthful of blood, her face pale as paper, gring fiercely at Han Liyue.

  "Beast, dare to harm a disciple of the Xuan Yi? Believe it or not, I'll skin you alive."

  A golden pair of scissors appeared in Han Liyue's hand, trailing spiritual energy as they flew towards the little fox.

  Seeing things getting out of trol, Lin Hao preteo just wake up, using a golden light talisman to block Han Liyue's attack.

  "Lin Hao, are you alright?"

  Seeing him awake, Han Liyue temporarily stopped pursuing the little fox, instead sending a strand of divine seo check Lin Hao's injuries, only to find he was unharmed, making her expression turn peculiar.

  The little fox gritted her silver teeth, cursing, "Filthy human, you're finally awake!"

  Lin Hao ighe little fox's fury, instead diverting attention, "Elder Han, when did you arrive?"

  Han Liyue's gaze was deep, her red lips parting slightly, "Just now. I sensed a violent fire spiritual energy from outside the cell..."

  "Lin Hao, what exactly happened?"

  Uh...

  Lin Hao thought Elder Han could probably guess what had happened, but since she didn't spell it out, he wouldn't foolishly expin.

  "Nothing much. Just a little mishap during cultivation, and this demon helped out a bit."

  Helped out a bit? More like a huimes! The little fox was full of rese, but in front of the always stern Elder Han, she dared not speak much.

  "As long as you're alright..."

  Han Liyue's gaze lingered otle fox's thigh, saying softly, "Demons are best at beguilis, don't fall for its tricks. The cell is not a pce to linger. If you're fine, let's leave."

  Han Liyue pulled out a stack of paper figures from her ste bag, blowing ohe figures grew in the wind, being indistinguishable from ordinary people.

  Under Han Liyue's trol, these paper figures immediately began repairing the damaged cell, including the door that had flown off and the weakened protective formation.

  After the two left, the little fox returo her true form, her furry paws leaving three deep cw marks on the divine iron cell door.

  Filthy human, I've never suffered such a loss!

  Just wait, when this dy gets out, I'll surely avehis!

  ...

  Back at his residence.

  Lin Hao looked inside his dantian, disc the spiritual liquid had transformed from a small pond into a small ke.

  He couldn't help but marvel at the bes from the ordeal with the little fox, equivalent to cultivating with a hundred Qi Refining female cultivators.

  The effect was truly extraordinary!

  So powerful it was unbelievable!

  Taking advantage of the lingering bes of dual cultivation, Lin Hao cleared his mind of distras, fog oation and cultivation.

  With his physique, without the interference of evil fire, he could cultivate much faster than ordinary cultivators.

  Han Liyue's divine sense, sensing the vortex of fire spiritual energy f at Lin Hao's residence, was shocked, her chest heaving.

  No wonder Zhan'er lost so badly; this boy is blessed with great opportunities!

  A hidden dragon in the depths, o shows its cws, will surely cause a stir!

  She couldn't help but feel fortunate for maintaining a good retionship with him, thinking to take better care of him iure, as she might rely on him someday.

  With her thoughts clear, she retracted her divine sense, preparing to make a round in the prison, ensuring all demons aware of today's events kept their mouths shut!
