Chapter 23 - Was the Shabby Temple a Trap?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Several hours passed.

At midnight.

A young cultivator wearing a long green robe walked into the desolate mountain forest. He was tall, upright, handsome, and had bright eyes.

This cultivator was none other than Wu Ye.

He had been on the road for several hours and was hurrying in the direction of the Yin Corpse Sect.

“Hmm, there’s a shabby temple?”

Wu Ye raised his head slightly, a little surprised.

This place seemed to be a group of forests, and there was no such temple. It was pitch black.

“Interesting.”

Wu Ye raised his eyebrows and walked toward the temple on the top of the mountain without hesitation.

With the strength of his legs, he reached the shabby temple on the top of the mountain in less than an hour.

He walked to the door of the temple. As the door was ajar, there was a faint glow of fire inside the temple.

‘It seems that someone’s waiting for me?’

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Wu Ye’s mouth as he muttered in his heart.

He pushed the door open decisively and entered. Just as he entered the temple, a seductive voice entered his ears.

“Little Brother, help me. I’ve sprained my ankle. I can’t go down the mountain now. Can you carry me down the mountain?”

After hearing the voice, Wu Ye wore a friendly smile. He turned his gaze to the owner of the seductive voice.

He saw a woman wearing exquisite makeup appear within his sight.

The woman was wearing a red light-weight shirt that stuck tightly to her body. It seemed to have been drenched by the rain, highlighting the woman’s voluptuous figure.

She was half-squatting on the ground. She threw her embroidered shoes to the side and covered her ankles. Her chest was facing Wu Ye, revealing a large area of white and creamy spring light.

“Hehe, interesting.”

Wu Ye looked at the woman with an indifferent expression. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing an interesting arc.

The woman and Wu Ye looked at each other. There was a hint of shyness on her face, but from time to time, she revealed a trace of pain on her face. Then, she lowered her head.

From an angle that no one could see, a subtle hint of greed was present in the depths of the woman’s eyes.

“Little Brother, can you help me?

“If you are willing to help me, I can… do anything.”

The woman raised her head and said in a delicate voice, her tone carrying a seductive aura.

At this moment, if it were any other man, he would have already turned into a beast and ‘helped’ this young woman. He would have even done something lewd here.

Undeniably, this woman was great at seducing people.

Even Qi Refinement cultivators would not be able to resist this level of seduction, let alone ordinary people.

Unfortunately… She met Wu Ye.

“You just sprained your ankle, and your hand isn’t broken. Don’t you know how to find two tree branches as crutches?” Wu Ye said casually.

“You…” The woman was angry. She had never seen such an unromantic man.

In a moment of anger, wisps of black gas actually drifted out from her body.

She hurriedly suppressed the black gas.

“It’s dark now. I’m scared of being alone. Can you walk with me for a while?” The woman clasped her hands tightly and begged.

“Okay, no problem.” Wu Ye did not turn her down.

Soon, the woman found two wooden sticks in the corner of the temple.

“Little Brother, let’s go.”

The woman stood up with the wooden sticks.

Wu Ye nodded and followed the woman.

Within about half the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the woman did not take Wu Ye down the mountain. Instead, they walked into a remote mountain path.

As she walked, she glanced at Wu Ye. She found that not only was he not suspicious, but he was still wearing an inexplicable smile on his face.

Seemingly, this kid had no feelings for her?

Could he be a fool?

Since when could a fool cultivate?

Whatever. He was a Qi Refinement cultivator, after all.

Finally, the time it took to brew a cup of tea passed.

The woman brought him to a valley.

As soon as they entered the valley, the woman’s appearance had changed drastically!

Her face was split open, with her nose as the boundary. There were four eyes on each side, and a huge wart grew from below her abdomen, revealing eight hairy spider legs. Her entire body was emitting billowing black gas.

The eight eyes were jumping with a scarlet light.

A shocking evil aura exploded from her body.

It was a Spider Demon Ghost!

“Demon Ghost King, I’m back.

“This time, I lured a Qi Refinement cultivator back. I believe the blood essence of the cultivator will definitely satisfy you.”

The Spider Demon Ghost jumped up and said to the empty valley.

“Hehe, Little Ghost, are you afraid now?

“I’m a demon ghost!

“I’ll soon let you experience how it feels to be devoured.”

At the thought that the cultivator exasperated him earlier, the Spider Demon Ghost was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Looking at the Spider Demon Ghost in front of him, Wu Ye expressed his calmness and was not surprised at all.

When he had just met the Spider Demon Ghost, he had used his spirit sense to scan the ghost and already saw the original form of this woman!

Then, this ugly insect continued to seduce him along the way.

He had never thought that such a ridiculous thing would happen to him. It was really disgusting.

Whoosh.

At this moment, countless demonic qi gathered around the valley.

The demonic qi raged!

The aura was cold and terrifying.

It was as if Wu Ye was in a ghost hell.

He could faintly hear countless demon ghosts screaming, which made his scalp go numb.

“Haha, how pure the qi and blood are.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve swallowed a cultivator’s blood essence.”

Countless ghost qi emerged from the valley and finally condensed into a huge ferocious ghost head.

Under the ferocious ghost head, insects and demons crawled out from the valley!

This was a demon nest hiding hundreds of demon ghosts!

The Demon Ghost King looked at Wu Ye with an extremely greedy and bloodthirsty gaze.

His current realm was ranked second, which was equivalent to the level of a Foundation Establishment human cultivator.

Soon, he would break through to the third rank.

Compared to devouring the six ordinary people, the Demon Ghost King believed that after devouring the qi and blood of this cultivator, he would definitely be able to advance to the third rank!

This was a great opportunity!

After Wu Ye felt the red gaze of the Demon Ghost King, he was a little speechless.

“Wait a minute.

“Do you really think that I’ve been deceived by you?

“I’ve discovered such a clumsy and despicable trick from the very beginning.”

Wu Ye said with contempt.

Using the Spider Demon Ghost to seduce a target and then offering it to the Demon Ghost King to devour was a mindless plot, which had been played countless times in novels and movies.

In his previous life, Wu Ye was already tired of such a plot.

Hearing this, the Spider Demon Ghost was shocked.

She did not know why but Wu Ye’s aura made her shudder!

It was as if she was the prey and Wu Ye was the hunter..
