As the saying goes, humans die for wealth, and birds die for food.
It was not uncommon for cultivators to risk their lives for Dharma treasures.
An Tong was one such example.
At that moment, An Tong's mind was completely focused. He stared intently at the Skyfire Sacred Sword. Bit by bit, he fell from the sword case. He pounced forward and bit the sacred sword in midair.
The moment he landed, he was so excited that he nearly roared, "The Skyfire Sacred Sword is mine!
From now on, he would become one of the best cultivators in the world! "
It had to be said that the reason why a pauper was a pauper was because the environment he grew up in had limited his thoughts and choices. His thoughts and choices had also limited his horizons. His horizons had ultimately led to the wrong choice on key issues.
An Tong had never considered the consequences of stealing the Skyfire Sacred Sword. For example, how he would maintain the sword, if it had already recognized him as its owner, or the instant he stole the Skyfire Sacred Sword, the array's backlash … What would be the outcome?
Just as An Tong landed on the ground, he suddenly felt a burst of powerful energy suddenly erupt from the fallen sword rack. This energy was like a torrent rushing towards him, instantly engulfing him, making him unable to move.
This feeling was extremely terrifying. An Tong's entire body trembled and he lost control, collapsing to the ground. However, his five senses and six senses were extremely clear. He could see, hear, touch, and feel pain, but it was extremely difficult for him to even blink his eyelids.
The Skyfire Sacred Sword in An Tong's mouth had also fallen to the ground. It was right beside his mouth. He tried his best to stare at the Dharma treasure he had yearned for, but he could not pick it up even though it was right beside his mouth!
As the footsteps outside approached, he could not move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the other party came to grab him. He had no way of retaliating.
At that moment, An Tong's heart was filled with regret and fear. He did not know what awaited him next. Was he expelled from the sect?
Was he to be whipped to death?
Or … be crippled of his Dharmic powers and cultivation, and be imprisoned until death?
An Tong was in extreme pain. However, if he knew what would happen next, he would probably choose any of the first three options.
The door of the study was pushed open with a squeak, and a tall figure blocked the door. His back was against the light, and he was panting heavily. His eyes were fixed on the door like a ferocious beast.
At that moment, An Tong was so nervous and frightened that all the hair on his body stood on end. This was far more terrifying than the tiger he had encountered before!
Who, who was this person?
When this person came closer, An Tong realized that this person was none other than the owner of this place, Huangfu Song!
At this moment, Huangfu Song's face was flushed, and his breathing was so rough that it was almost visible to the naked eye. His face was so red that it was almost demonic, and his eyes were bloodshot, making him look like a mad beast. What made An Tong tremble the most was that this guy was actually staring at him with a strange light in his eyes. As he walked, he let out a beast-like roar, and his hands frantically tore at his clothes. In just a few moves, the silk and satin on his body were torn to pieces.
An Tong was scared out of his wits. What was going on?
Were all Hidden Brocade Court cultivators this insane?
I, I'm a tiger now, alright?!
Open your f * cking eyes, I'm a tiger now, not a f * cking human!
But what An Tong did not know was that Huangfu Song had drunk the Eastern Sea Jade Forest Spring with 'Mo Dao's Immortal Soul'. Under the dual effects of alcohol and medicine, coupled with Yuehan's large-scale illusion, he could no longer think normally. Even everything in front of him had changed.
The illusion that Yuehan used was called "Wishes Come True", which meant that whatever one thought would appear in front of one's eyes.
At this moment, Huangfu Song was looking at Ji Chunhua, whom he had always dreamed of pursuing endlessly. This enchanting and seductive female cultivator was the companion he wanted to have for dual cultivation even in his dreams.
If it wasn't for the aphrodisiac, Huangfu Song would not have placed this thought at the top of his list. After all, the most important thing right now was to deal with Li Chengfeng and Shanxue.
But because of the 'Mo Dao's Immortal Soul', lust gained the upper hand, suppressing all other desires.
In front of Huangfu Song's eyes was Ji Chunhua, her jade-like body sprawled out, her gown half undone. She was alluringly hooking her finger at him, that faintly discernible beauty, those snow-white and plump peaks made Huangfu Song feel as if the blood in his body was spurting out, as if he was going to explode.
An Tong watched in despair as Huangfu Song tore off all of his clothes in just a few moments, and then rushed towards him with his long spear. He was terrified to the extreme, and used all of his strength to escape.
But at this time, because he had triggered the array, he had lost the ability to move. He did not even have the strength to scream.
This was also the unique aspect of the array's backlash: it did not want to kill the person who broke the array, because the person who set it up wanted to capture the person, not kill the person.
This array was made to protect the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword, so capturing the thief was far more important than killing the thief. After all, no one knew if there was someone else behind this thief.
All sorts of coincidences had led to the scene before their eyes … a scene so tragic that it could not be compared to the rest of humanity.
Huangfu Song roared and pounced forward. An Tong screamed inwardly, 'Hidden Brocade Court bastards, they're all f * cking perverts!'
…
At the same time, on the other side, Ji Chunhua supported the drunken Li Chengfeng into a side room. She first ordered the old housekeeper to keep Yuehan outside, to ensure she would not disturb her.
Then, Ji Chunhua seductively caressed Li Chengfeng's cheeks and giggled. "I'd like to know what Grand Senior Sister sees in you …" As she spoke, her snow-white hands trailed down Li Chengfeng's chest, her fingertips brushing past his thick, muscular chest muscles, as if she was touching hard, angular marble.
"Do you have a special background … or are you gifted with a magical weapon …" Ji Chunhua giggled, her hand reaching for his crotch. Just as she was about to grab it, Li Chengfeng suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Ji Chunhua was slightly shocked, staring at him suspiciously. Was he not drunk?
Li Chengfeng's face was flushed, his eyes dazed. He grabbed Ji Chunhua's hand and stammered, "Yue … Yuehan, go boil some water. I … I … I need to go to the bathroom … I need to pee … I need to pee …"
Ji Chunhua's suspicions disappeared. Which drunk person doesn't need to pee?
Ji Chunhua giggled as she lay on his shoulder, her entire body pressed against his. Her full breasts pressed against his arm, squeezing against his chest. She giggled and licked his ear teasingly, then whispered, "It's over there. Go ahead, I … will wait for you here."
Li Chengfeng smiled drunkenly. "Alright alright, wait for me to come back …" Then he staggered away.
Just as he left the room and came to the toilet at the back, the drunkenness in Li Chengfeng's eyes immediately dissipated. He did not look drunk at all. He looked left and right and entered the toilet. Immediately, with a thought, he mobilized the power of the Insect Centipede and focused all his attention on a huge ant nearby. Then, he controlled it to quickly crawl towards where the Heavenly Fire Sacred Sword was stored.
This time, Li Chengfeng found the place with familiarity. However, when he controlled the ant to crawl into the study, he saw the most shocking scene in his life. It was so shocking and impactful that no matter how many years had passed, no matter how many things had happened, as long as he thought about what happened today, this scene would appear in his mind like a demon, violently attacking his brain and soul.
Ants had compound eyes. In an ant's eyes, there were thousands of worlds.
That was why, in that instant, Li Chengfeng saw more than a thousand unsightly scenes!
