"Late Blooming Fragrance is a lovely name," Ye Tian politely nodded, then turned his gaze away from her.
Seductive Woman, also known as Late Blooming Fragrance, was once again met with rejection, but she did not seem upset. With a charming smile, she led Ye Tian into the Pavilion before them.
This was a three-story wooden Pavilion, made of exquisite mahogany, thick and dignified. However, upon entering, Ye Tian was momentarily stunned, as the scene inside was completely mismatched with the overall style of the Pavilion.
"Please, young master," Late Blooming Fragrance said as she stood by the door after entering the Pavilion, seemingly unable to go further due to her status.
Ye Tian looked around and saw countless pairs of young men and women in the hall on the first floor, indulging in intimate displays of affection. They showed no hesitation upon seeing Ye Tian, and all appeared to be of high social standing, but their actions were shockingly bold.
"The leader is waiting for you on the third floor," Late Blooming Fragrance added before being pulled aside by a tall and handsome man, who immediately kissed her without hesitation, his hands roaming freely.
Ye Tian frowned deeply, wondering if this Li Huo Sect was some kind of cult focused on dual cultivation.
However, if it was a cult, that would be even better; he had come today to eradicate such evil.
With that thought in mind, Ye Tian began to walk toward the staircase.
To be honest, at that moment he felt his face flush and his heart race. Despite his strong willpower, this scene was indeed a bit too "shocking" for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth. If it were an ordinary person, they might have lost control at the temptation presented by Late Blooming Fragrance.
Thud thud thud...
Ye Tian quickly ascended the stairs, reaching the second floor of the Pavilion after several steps.
"Mmm... mmm..."
Upon arriving on the second floor, he was immediately greeted by a chorus of moans and gasps, accompanied by various indecent sounds. However, unlike the grand hall below, this area was quite large but divided into numerous small rooms. The sounds of passion were clearly coming from within those private chambers.
It was obvious what they were doing.
Ye Tian took a deep breath and quickly walked up to the third floor.
At the same time, he thought about what the old man had said before: many righteous individuals who came here were bought off, never returning to Shu. It seemed that this was the reason.
In this world, it could be said that everyone harbors a dark side within their hearts. Lust, wealth, status, and power all emit immense temptation at all times. Many people become lost in front of them, even sinking into depravity.
While thinking about this, Ye Tian had already arrived at the third floor.
He initially thought that the third floor would be even more unbearable, but to his surprise, it was unusually quiet here.
Looking up, he saw a reclining platform surrounded by red gauze, behind which a woman's half-reclining figure could be faintly seen.
On both sides of the platform, two Dan Furnaces were emitting wisps of light smoke, likely from extremely precious Dragon Incense, which made one feel at ease upon smelling it.
At this moment, four maidens were gently waving palm-leaf fans. If Late Blooming Fragrance's beauty could score an eight out of ten, then these four maidens could easily score a nine.
"I am Ye Tian, here to pay my respects to the Fire Sect Leader." Ye Tian cupped his hands and stood still without approaching. He vaguely felt that the Li Huo Sect's means of winning people's hearts surely involved more than just beauty.
"Please take a seat, young master." From behind the curtain came a voice like heavenly music, enchanting and intoxicating.
Ye Tian frowned deeply. To be honest, the woman's voice was extremely pleasant to hear, but with his willpower, it was impossible for him to be swayed merely by its sweetness. However, he did feel a surge of desire rising within him.
That feeling was akin to a wild beast rampaging in his heart, more like a voice in his mind urging him to release his desires on the woman behind the curtain.
"Could it be the Dragon Incense?" Ye Tian struggled to steady his mind while once again channeling Spiritual Energy to dispel the fragrance.
Sure enough, as the scent was pushed away, his mind immediately cleared.
"Please come in."
At that moment, one of the maidens stepped forward and led Ye Tian to a rosewood chair beside the curtain where he took his seat.
Ye Tian sat down, and the Rosewood chair emitted its unique fragrance. Next to the chair was a small round table, exquisite and elegant, with a teapot and two teacups placed on top.
The maid extended her delicate hand, lifted the teapot, and poured tea into the cups. As she leaned forward, the two mounds of white jade on her chest were faintly visible. Her face was free of makeup, yet she possessed a subtle beauty. This elegance came from a perfectly charming face, where purity and allure blended seamlessly, making it hard for anyone to maintain their composure.
This time, it had nothing to do with Dragon Incense; it was purely the temptation of beauty. Ye Tian could only turn his head away and not look at her anymore.
However, the maid seemed uninterested in tempting him. After pouring the tea, she quietly stepped back to the side.
The Fire Sect Leader remained silent, and Ye Tian was focused on calming his emotions, so he didn't speak either. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
To ease the tension, Ye Tian picked up the teacup and brought it to his lips. Just as he was about to take a sip, he suddenly became alert.
There was something wrong with the person, something wrong with the fragrance, and undoubtedly something wrong with the tea.
After some thought, Ye Tian pretended to take a sip and then set the cup back on the table.
At that moment, a woman from behind the curtain suddenly laughed softly, her voice like silver bells, ringing in his ears. He heard her say: "Young master need not be alarmed; that tea is not poisoned but rather an exquisite Bi Luo Chun."
Ye Tian frowned slightly and replied: "Does the leader know why I have come?"
"Naturally, I know. Young master is young and handsome, with extraordinary bearing; you must be one of those righteous gentlemen?" The voice from behind the curtain was somewhat lazy, showing no signs of fear or anger.
"Since you know this, then show me your tricks. Although I intend to eliminate you all, if you treat me with courtesy, I cannot lose my composure." Ye Tian had already decided to take action; he could not wait to uncover the secrets of Li Huo Sect any longer; otherwise, he might end up in trouble here.
"Hehe, young master need not rush. I wouldn't dare use any tricks on you; however, I do have some small gifts I would like to present." The Fire Sect Leader smiled even more charmingly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian firmly stated: "There's no need for gifts; what I mean is that you can strike first or immediately summon all your followers. I will give you time and opportunity."
"It is clear that young master possesses both intelligence and strength at a high level. Those who speak boldly often have extraordinary skills. Moreover, being able to remain unmoved under 'Fish-Water Harmony' is indeed rare."
"Fish-Water Harmony?" Ye Tian initially did not understand but quickly realized that what was referred to as Dragon Incense was actually named Fish-Water Harmony.
"I'm not wrong, Fish-Water Harmony is indeed a seductive sacred object, tasting like Dragon Incense, and it is extremely precious." The Woman Behind the Curtain smiled and continued, "Young master, you ask about Fish-Water Harmony but show no desire; what a waste."
"Enough with the nonsense!" Ye Tian suddenly stood up. He could no longer wait; the other party's charm was too powerful, with a tone and manner that were alluring. Through the Curtain, her vaguely exquisite figure occasionally posed in a way that was even more enticing.
"Young master, don't be anxious. Didn't you just say to give us time and opportunity? Why are you backing out now? Or..." The Woman Behind the Curtain laughed lightly at this point.
"Or are you just pretending to be aloof while already unable to resist?"
Provoked by her teasing and contemptuous words, Ye Tian felt a surge of anger. "Do you believe I can kill you right now?"
"Kill me? Are you afraid you can't resist me? Oh~ I see, perhaps you're lacking in that regard?"
Ye Tian laughed in anger and sat down, saying, "Wealth and beauty mean nothing to me."
Although he might have gone a bit too far with that statement, it was largely true. Whether it was Yun'er or Cold Frost, both were stunning beauties; he could remain unaffected by them, let alone these filthy women.
As for wealth, those yellow and white objects were hardly worth mentioning.
"You speak so grandly; do you dare to accept my three challenges?" The Woman Behind the Curtain said provocatively, yet her words were still filled with temptation.
Ye Tian sneered and replied, "Bring it on."
"Good, young master is quite straightforward." After saying this, she clapped her jade hands.
At once, the four maidservants changed their demeanor entirely, moving flirtatiously with seductive glances as they approached Ye Tian.
Ye Tian remained still, waiting for them to come closer so he could assert his authority over them.
The maidservants moved gracefully towards him, shedding their garments as they walked. Soon enough, they stood before Ye Tian, completely bare.
Then one maidservant extended her jade arm towards Ye Tian's neck while another gently caressed his chest with her delicate hand. The other two directly reached towards the area just below Ye Tian's navel.
At that moment, Ye Tian let out a cold smile, and the true form of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood revealed itself, emanating an overwhelming pressure that was domineering and fierce!
"Ah!"
The four maidens were taken aback, quickly retreating to the side, no longer daring to approach.
Seeing this, Ye Tian sneered again and said, "What other tricks do you have? Hurry up and show them; I'm waiting to take your head."
"Young master, how can you be so rude?" The Woman Behind the Curtain remained unperturbed, instead chiding him, her allure becoming even more pronounced.
Then she clapped her hands again. The maidens did not bother to put on their clothes but walked directly to the wall in front of them. It was unclear what mechanism they activated, but the wall began to slowly move.
Ye Tian turned his head to look and was immediately blinded by a burst of golden light. Once he adjusted, he saw that the dark wall was filled with gold and jade, shimmering brilliantly. Just taking out one piece would be worth thousands of taels of gold, truly priceless.
"Is this supposed to tempt me?" Ye Tian remained unmoved. To be honest, the beauty from earlier had stirred him slightly, but these radiant objects now failed to pique his interest in the slightest.
"Neither treasures nor beauty can sway you; it seems that only power and status are your pursuits?"
"Power and status? Hmph! Even if that is my pursuit, do you think your mere Li Huo Sect can offer me that?"
