Chapter 303: Forbidden Area in the Cave
The Three Women were extraordinary individuals; with a single breath, they created a gust of wind beneath their feet and moved swiftly.
The Old Village Chief, being older, could not keep up and soon began to gasp for air.
Xiao Yun urged, "Old Village Chief, why don't you sit down and rest for a moment?"
"No, Xiao Yun, saving people is the priority. We need to hurry!" the Old Village Chief insisted anxiously.
Touched by the Old Village Chief's urgency, Xiao Yun replied, "Then let's slow down a bit. I believe Cheng Hu is not in any significant danger; otherwise, those Eighteen Women wouldn't have let him call for help."
"Then what is their purpose in doing this?" the Old Village Chief asked breathlessly.
The Old Village Chief questioned Xiao Yun, but who was Xiao Yun asking?
Even he did not know what those women were after or where they had come from.
Xiao Yun said, "Old Village Chief, don't worry. I'll call Tiger!"
He took out his phone and dialed Cheng Hu's number.
Soon, a choked voice came through the phone: "Bro, is that you? I'm going to die; I probably won't see you again!"
"Tiger, I'm with the Old Village Chief. Don't be afraid; we're on our way to you..."
Before Xiao Yun could finish speaking, Cheng Hu's choked voice stopped, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you’re here! That's great!" He then turned to Red Sister and said, "Don't be afraid, my brother is here. It's going to be fine!"
Xiao Yun felt something was off; this kid and Red Sister were surrounded by people, yet why couldn't they hear anyone else speaking?
"Tiger, do you know who those women in front of you are?" Xiao Yun asked.
Cheng Hu's voice was trembling again. "I don't know. They just stare at us, as if they're mute. They don't say anything and only point their swords at us. If we move even a little, they step closer. If we stay still, they don't move either. Brother—I... I'm scared..."
Although they didn't share the same father, they were born of the same mother. Xiao Yun had always disliked Cheng Hu, but in that moment, hearing his helpless and pleading voice made his heart ache.
—He is still my brother!
"Tiger, don't be afraid. We'll be there soon. With me around, you and Red Sister will be safe!" Xiao Yun reassured him before hanging up the phone.
Old Village Chief asked urgently, "How are Tiger and Red Sister?"
Xiao Yun frowned and replied, "They probably aren't in any major danger right now, but those women definitely feel strange!"
He then explained Tiger and Red Sister's current situation to him.
"Yes, who exactly are those women?" Old Village Chief said while tapping his forehead.
At that moment, Xiao Yun felt a jolt in his heart—were those women coming for him?
As the saying goes, there are always stronger people out there. Even though Wu Daozi could set up powerful protective formations around Panlong Mountain, it was still possible for someone with greater magical power to break through those defenses.
If that's the case, did they kidnap Cheng Hu and Red Sister to extort me?
But what could they possibly extort?
Is it money or something else?
If it's money, those women must be blind. On the wealth ranking of the Galactic District, I, Xiao Yun, would only be a beggar in front of those tycoons.
As for something else? Come on, even though I occasionally admire myself in the mirror, that’s just a little self-praise. I can't possibly be handsome enough to make beautiful women resort to such extreme measures that disrupt world peace!
Uh, could it be that they need my blood like Song Chaoyang and Wilson?
Hmph, if it's really about my blood, then it won't be that easy.
But something still feels off. Even if they kidnapped Cheng Hu and Red Sister to threaten me, they wouldn't go so far as to strip themselves completely.
You have to choose the right target for this kind of performance art.
Interesting!
...
Swish, swish, swish...
The little bell and her companions are hurrying over.
If it weren't for the two women from the Demonic Sect by her side, with her abilities, Little Bell could have easily leaped to the top of Yantai Peak.
However, Little Bell wasn't in a hurry. From Cheng Hu's phone call, she sensed with her non-human awareness that he wasn't in any immediate danger.
Black Fox and White Cat hurried along, while for Little Bell, it felt like a leisurely stroll.
"Look, it seems like there are people ahead!" Black Fox said, pointing ahead.
"Yes, I see them too!" White Cat replied.
It wasn't just a feeling; there were indeed two people, an old man and a young boy.
With her innate bird-like instincts and exceptional eyesight, Little Bell quickly recognized Xiao Yun and the Old Village Chief in the direction Black Fox was pointing. She was momentarily surprised and thought, could they also be heading to Yantai Peak?
"It's that brat Xiao Yun and the Old Village Chief! Let's catch up to them!" Little Bell exclaimed excitedly.
Whoosh! The three women swiftly pursued.
"Xiao Yun, you brat..." Little Bell called out with a sharp voice.
As the Old Village Chief turned around in surprise with wide eyes, Xiao Yun also turned around casually and laughed, "Haha... Little Bell, I didn't expect you all to come as well!"
"You brat, where are you going?" Little Bell asked.
Xiao Yun smiled and replied, "Can you tell me where you all are headed?"
Little Bell frowned and said, "I was the one who asked you first!"
The Old Village Chief saw that they were about to argue and hurriedly said, "I just received a call from Tiger, saying that he and Red Sister are being surrounded by a few women. Xiao Yun and I are going to check it out."
"Oh, I also got a call from Cheng Hu!" Little Bell replied.
Xiao Yun didn't know that Cheng Hu and Red Sister had made Little Bell their master; he was just curious why Cheng Hu would call Little Bell for help.
But he didn't have time to think too much about it and said, "That's great! The more people, the merrier. Let's go take a look together!"
While they were talking, the group arrived at the foot of Yantai Peak.
Yantai Peak is not the highest peak in Panlong Mountain, but it is definitely the most unique one.
The entire mountain resembles a galloping horse, rearing its head and howling at the sky.
On the back of this galloping horse rests a large inkstone platform, while Inkstone Pavilion stands like a pen tilted there.
Fortunately, the mountain is not steep; from this side of the foot, it appears as a gentle slope leading up to the horse's back.
Xiao Yun stood at the foot of the mountain, opened his Spiritual Sense, and searched towards the summit.
To his surprise, it seemed that his Spiritual Sense had malfunctioned; he couldn't see any caves at the peak nor could he find where Cheng Hu and Red Sister were.
What... what is going on?
Such a thing had never happened before.
Rubbing his eyes, Xiao Yun tried again, but his Spiritual Sense was completely ineffective.
Xiao Yun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be—
Were the Spiritual Eyes of Panlong Mountain right here?
He thought that the Spiritual Energy here was too abundant, or there was some other reason that could block his Spiritual Sense so completely.
At this moment, Cheng Hu and Red Sister were tightly embracing each other, looking pale and terrified.
In their eyes, the eighteen beautiful women, completely naked and each holding a three-foot-long sword radiating cold light, looked icy and seemed ready to kill them at any moment.
What puzzled and frightened them was that although there were no lights in the cave, it was as bright as day.
The light emanated entirely from the women.
As soon as they moved slightly, the women would step closer to them.
With each step closer, the killing intent intensified.
There was no wind in the cave, but the layers of killing intent stirred their hair and clothing.
Every woman was stunningly beautiful, yet each of them had a murderous glint in their eyes.
When Cheng Hu and Red Sister suddenly encountered them, they remained silent, their expressions as unyielding as ancient ice, each wearing a chilling smile at the corners of their mouths.
Cheng Hu regretted it, and so did Red Sister.
They regretted being too playful; otherwise, how could they have found themselves in such a situation?
That afternoon, they had been wandering around the mountains, catching squirrels and hunting rabbits, and unknowingly climbed to the top of Yantai Peak.
They skinned a rabbit they had just caught, built a fire, and roasted it until it was cooked, both of them eating with grease at the corners of their mouths.
“Brother Hu, look! There’s a cave up ahead, so beautiful, and there are so many butterflies!” Red Sister pointed to a cave ahead.
At that moment, the sun was setting, casting its golden rays into the cave. The light reflected outwards in a dazzling array of colors, swirling like a light mist and filled with fantastical hues.
Beautiful butterflies fluttered around the cave entrance; perhaps they mistook those colorful lights for flowers growing in the crevices.
“What a beautiful cave!” At that moment, Red Sister was mesmerized by the scene before her.
Cheng Hu patted his already full belly, took Red Sister's hand, and said with a grin, “Let’s go check out that cave.”
As they entered the cave, they realized it seemed quite deep. Fortunately, the sunlight illuminated everything inside clearly.
Hiss.
Hiss,
Hiss...
It seemed that a mysterious force in the cave was drawing them forward.
However, they quickly reached the bottom of the cave. In front of them, the cave wall was covered with various strange patterns that faintly glimmered.
The two looked up curiously at those patterns.
Cheng Hu looked at the patterns and smiled, saying, "Red Sister, do you think there might be some mechanism hidden in these patterns?"
"Mechanism?" Red Sister didn't understand what he meant and asked.
Cheng Hu's eyes gleamed with greed as he said, "Red Sister, maybe if we find the mechanism and press it lightly, another passage will appear in front of us. Hehe, perhaps it hides many rare treasures, and we could strike it rich!"
Red Sister giggled and said, "Tiger Brother, you've been reading too many martial arts novels. How could such a good thing happen to us?"
Little did they know, Cheng Hu casually tapped on the wall, and it just so happened that he seemed to hit a button. With a loud rumble, the cave wall transformed into two stone doors that opened to the sides.
"Ah!"
Red Sister exclaimed, "Tiger Brother, you really guessed it right!"
The two excitedly rushed into this inner cave. When they looked up, they were greeted by four large characters carved into the wall ahead:
Forbidden Area in the Cave.
Forbidden area?
Boom!
Before they could understand what was happening, another loud sound echoed from behind, and the stone door suddenly closed on its own.
They found themselves trapped in a secret chamber.
Strangely, the cave was filled with Brightness.
But as the two looked around in shock, a terrifying presence suddenly enveloped them!
The Brightness was actually emanating from Eighteen Women.
—There were actually Eighteen Women hidden in this cave.
These eighteen young women were all stunningly beautiful, resembling Celestial Beings. Strangely, they were completely naked and each held a long sword in their hands.
Before they could comprehend the situation, in the blink of an eye, the women surrounded them completely... The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
