"Of course! The Heavenly Emperor treats this place like a paradise, protecting you, kid. So just focus on your cultivation. Hurry up and open a door!" Zhao Cai said in a condescending tone.
"Yes, yes, yes, I wonder if the Fairy Maiden would like to see Xi Fu first or Lady Zhe Mei?" Mo Guangmu nodded repeatedly, and asked as he shakily pulled out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
"Well..." Fairy Maiden patted Wang Yao on the shoulder.
"Let's go see Xi Fu first," Wang Yao said hastily. Xi Fu's lifespan was nearing its end, and the sooner he was rescued, the sooner Wang Yao could feel at ease. As for Lady Zhe Mei, since she had been imprisoned for over a thousand years, seeing her sooner or later made no difference.
"Yes, yes, Xi Fu doesn't have much time left. Every time we see him, it's one less time to see him." Mo Guangmu nodded repeatedly. He inserted the key into the alley wall on his right, and a gloomy, dilapidated wooden door appeared on the wall, right next to Zhao Cai in front of Mo Guangmu's desk.

Each chain tip had a five-pronged barb. After the chains passed through Xi Fu's immortal body, the barbs pierced into his immortal body in the opposite direction.
It was precisely because of the barbs gripping the immortal body that the chains were able to suspend Xi Fu face down in mid-air.
