The power of the Tight-Circlet Spell was well known among the Chinese. A long time ago, Sanzang once used it on the Monkey King. Not even he could withstand the pain. Though the three golden circlets that Chen Xiaobei had with him were just replica, it was more than enough to use it to deal with mortal beings. To them, the torture from it was worse than death.

"God Chen… Stop chanting please… Ouch… Please… It's so painful! We are going to die if you continue doing this to us!"

The agonizing scream let out by Liu Xuanxi and Liu Chunyi was worse than a pig screaming when it was being slaughtered. Actually, the amount of Spiritual Qi that Chen Xiaobei had channeled from the box to the golden circlets was limited. He would not be able to kill the two of them with it. Even if they did not beg Chen Xiaobei to stop, he would have to stop chanting eventually. Seeing that they were begging him to stop, an idea came to Chen Xiaobei's mind. He thought to take advantage of the situation while they were suffering. They would literally say yes to anything when they were suffering from this extreme pain.

"Pay me 1,000 Spiritual Stones and I will stop the chanting!" said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.

"That's… That's a lot…"

Immediately, Liu Xiyuan's face contorted.

To Xuanjian Faction, 1,000 Spiritual Stones served as a foundation to fortify the faction. Giving them out in one go would mean weakening the entire faction. This was worse than asking Liu Xiyuan to cut a piece of flesh from his body.

"Grandpa… Stop hesitating! Just say yes to him! Quick! It's so painful! We are going to die soon!"

Clearly, Liu Chunyi was weak-minded. He did not want to suffer from the pain anymore. That was why he was trying to hasten his grandpa to hand over the Spiritual Stones.

"God Chen… Please stop with the chant… We will pay you! We are willing to hand over the 1,000 Spiritual Stones!"

Rendering with no other option and being convinced by his grandson, Liu Xiyuan finally agreed to pay Chen Xiaobei.

"Hehe… Go and get it immediately! You have five minutes! Fail to come back to me within five minutes, I will start chanting again!"

The truth was the Spiritual Qi in the golden circlets were almost depleted. Even if they refuse to pay the Spiritual Stones, Chen Xiaobei would have to stop the chant eventually. However, the two of them did not know about it. Immediately, they ran back to their faction and brought 1,000 Spiritual Stones for Chen Xiaobei.

"God Chen… All the Spiritual Stones are in these two boxes… Please accept it!"

Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi came to Chen Xiaobei with two huge crates. The two of them then kneeled down in front of Chen Xiaobei to beg him to accept it while eyeing on the crates. Upon seeing that, Chen Xiaobei could not help but laugh out loud. He was thinking whether two of them would cough out a mouthful of blood if they knew that he would have to stop with the chant even if they refuse to pay him the Spiritual Stones.

"Not bad! You guys have made the right move!"

With a swing of his hand, two big boxes were kept in his Infinite Space Ring.

"What have you guys heard and seen today?" asked Chen Xiaobei.

"We…"

Taken aback, Liu Chunyi and Liu Xuanxin shook their heads immediately.

"N-n-no! We have seen and heard nothing today!"

"Good! Remember what you just said! If you fail to do so, I, Chen Zhufeng will make you shut your mouths for good! Mark my words!"

"Y-y-yes! Farewell! God Chen!"

Liu Xiyuan and Liu Chunyi kowtowed thrice before they fled the scene. Today, they had witnessed Chen Xiaobei used his godly skill to deal with his enemies. From the bottom of their hearts, they were now truly afraid of Chen Xiaobei. No matter what, they would not dare to tell Chen Xiaobei's secret to others.

"Alright. Everything is settled! We shall leave now…"

Chen Xiaobei strode toward the three people that stood on the side with a smile on his face.

Bop!

Bop!

Before Chen Xiaobei could finish his words, Huo Yuanba and Qiao'er kneeled on the ground.

"You are now our biggest benefactor! Please accept our gratitude! We will never forget that you saved our lives today!"

Right after that, they were about to touch the ground with their heads.

"No! Don't do that… It's equivalent to slapping my face!"

"We don't mean that…"

"Two of you are Xuanxin's friends! That means you are my friend as well! And friends are supposed to take care of each other! I just did what I can to help my friends! Get up! If not, I will see that you are not treating me as your friend!"

"This…"

Huo Yuanba and Huo Qiaoqiao were taken aback.

"Qiao'er. You should get up first!"

Huo Yuanba helped her sister to get up and he continued to kneel on the ground.

"Brother… What are you…" asked Qiao'er, baffled.

"God Chen. Of course, we see you as our friend! But! I have told you earlier that if you manage to bring back my sister to me, unharmed – I, Huo Yuanba officially owe you two lives! From today onward, I'm willing to follow wherever you go and serve you!"

"That's not necessary at all!"

"I, Huo Yuanba had ventured in the Jianghu for a lot of years! I will definitely make sure that I repay your good deed! Following you will be able to fulfill one of my personal wishes as well. My sister and I have offended Xuanjian Faction and we got into the mess with the Blood Descendants and Green Town Faction as well. I'm afraid that there's no safe place for me and my sister anymore! Only you can guarantee the safety of me and my sister! God Chen, please give us the chance to repay your good deed! And please let us to stay under your protection as well!"

Once Chen Xiaobei accedes to his request, he would definitely stay loyal to Chen Xiaobei until the end of the world.

"Chen Xiaobei. For my sake, please say yes to him! Consider that I owe you a favor!"

Suddenly, Liu Xuanxin spoke her mind as well. She knew that Huo Yuanba would never harm Chen Xiaobei. If Chen Xiaobei said yes to them, he would be able to protect them and recruit a powerful disciple. It was truly killing two birds with one stone!

"I'm going to say yes to it! You owe me nothing!"

Chen Xiaobei then smiled at Liu Xuanxin. Clearly, he knew that Liu Xuanxin had put herself into his shoes before making the suggestion.

"Yuanba! Qiao'er! Bei Xuan Faction is literally the safest place on earth! The two of you have to join my faction because it's easier for me to explain to my friends and family about it!"

"The two of us are willing to become your servants!" said Huo Yuanba.

"Don't lower yourself like that. I will treat you as my family members since I have decided to bring you in! Just see as yourself as my disciple! From today onward, Bei Xuan Faction is your new home!"
