Chapter 211: Beautiful Woman

In the southeast corner of the temple, there was a vegetable field. Under it, a cellar was dug, usually used to store some vegetables and grains.

On the surface, it looked ordinary, but after using Ancient Witchcraft to see through the earth, Mu Feng quickly noticed something unusual. Deep inside the cellar, there was a hidden passage leading underground. About thirty meters below, faint cries and power fluctuations could be heard. However, with a Restriction placed to block it, ordinary people couldn’t detect it at all.

Hu…

The cold wind howled. Late at night, in a typical temple, even the most devout and diligent monks would have gone to sleep. Yet, near the cellar, in a clump of bushes, a corner of a monk’s robe was faintly visible.

It was a hidden sentry, lying motionless in the bushes, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

In front of him, a hemp rope was tied. At the slightest disturbance, just a light pull on this rope would cause a hidden bell inside the cellar to ring an alarm. Over the years, although nothing unusual had ever happened, these monks remained highly alert.

Shh, shhh…

The night grew darker, the wind colder, but the hidden sentry in the bushes stayed motionless for a long time. After who knows how long, suddenly, a faint rustling sound was vaguely heard. Vigilantly, he looked around but saw nothing. Just as he was puzzled, suddenly, a dark light sprang from the black ground. Something like a rope instantly wrapped around him, tightening around his neck.

“Urgh…”

The sentry, his throat constricted, opened his mouth wide but could hardly make a sound. The rope around his throat tightened more and more. Shocked, he panicked but didn’t lose composure. While struggling, he reached out, trying to pull the rope in front of him to sound the alarm. But the moment his fingers barely touched the hemp rope, a heavy sword suddenly fell from above.

With a crack, his fingers and wrist bones were instantly crushed!

Immediately, a piercing pain shot through his right hand. His throat was tightly constricted, and he couldn’t make a single sound. His feet kicked at the ground a few times, and soon, he stopped struggling and fell silent.

“First one!”

Mu Feng’s face was cold. He hid the sentry’s body, took off the latter’s monk robe and put it on himself, then took out a Large Bamboo Hat from the Breeze Ring. Focusing his senses to detect movements around him, he swiftly slipped into the cellar and disappeared. Sure enough, not long after, under a stone slab piled with vegetables and rice, he found a mechanism. With a light twist, a dark tunnel appeared before him, slanting down deep underground.

What Zhushan Temple? Clearly, it was a den of thieves!

Mu Feng’s face was cold. He pressed down the Large Bamboo Hat on his head and was just about to go down when, unexpectedly, a monk holding a torch came up from below. “Eh, Ninth Junior Brother, why are you down here? It’s not your turn yet. Our master has just started enjoying himself. You’ll have to wait until almost dawn. What’s the hurry?”

Cough…

Mu Feng pretended to cough and quietly stepped back half a step, letting the monk below only see the monk robe he was wearing.

Sure enough, caught off guard, the torch-holding monk didn’t notice anything unusual. While speaking, he walked up. “Hurry up, Ninth Junior Brother, quickly close the mechanism. Otherwise, if the master finds out, you’ll be skinned alive. Eh, Ninth Junior Brother, what’s on your head…”

As he approached, by the faint light of the torch, the monk who came up from below suddenly saw the Large Bamboo Hat on Mu Feng’s head. Startled, he quickly realized and opened his mouth to sound the alarm. But before he could make a sound, a rope-like blood-red vine appeared before his eyes. His throat was tightly constricted, and then, with a whoosh, Mu Feng pulled him over. A pain shot through the back of his head, and his body went limp instantly.

“Second one!”

Mu Feng extinguished the torch that fell on the ground, dragged the body to a dark corner, took a deep breath, and continued downward. Following the narrow, dark passage, he soon arrived at a huge underground chamber.

Calling it a chamber was an understatement; it was more like a massive underground prison. Looking up, iron bars as thick as arms divided the space into small cages, holding twenty to thirty young women. Some were naked, lying unconscious on the ground; some leaned weakly against the iron bars, their expressions blank; others huddled together in fear, occasionally sobbing. From afar, miserable screams could be heard from time to time.

“Beasts!”

Mu Feng’s eyes turned icy cold. He quickly understood what was happening. Seeing three monks patrolling back and forth under the bright lights not far away, his killing intent surged. He stretched out his hand, and a ferocious Blood Spear appeared in it. Coldly, he aimed at one of the unsuspecting bald monks.

Whoosh…

Three ferocious blood-red Blood Spears were thrown almost at the same time!

Without any suspense, they all accurately hit the heads of the three bald monks, nailing them to the ground. It wasn’t until their bodies thudded to the floor that the women imprisoned nearby realized what had happened. Seeing the gushing blood, they screamed instinctively.

“Fifth one!”

Mu Feng’s face was cold. The next moment, holding the Black Inscription Heavy Sword, he charged forward. With each swing of his sword, he broke open the cages locked with chains as thick as fingers. “Go, run quickly!”

“Go, run quickly!”

“Hurry, before the Devil Leader reacts, run!”

…

After the shock, the women imprisoned in the cages quickly came to their senses and rushed out in a frantic swarm, each seeing hope of escape. The chaotic footsteps and sudden screams quickly alerted the remaining monks.

A bald monk, hastily tying his pants, was the first to rush out. His face was rough and fierce, and he shouted from afar, “Who dares to break into the forbidden area of our Zhushan Temple? Who is it?”

The rough-faced bald monk picked up an iron rod from the ground as he ran, looking around for the intruder. Unfortunately, as soon as he caught sight of Mu Feng, a cold light appeared before him.

Thud…

The powerful Blood Spear brutally pierced through his chest. Its force unabated, it nailed him to the wall behind him with a deafening thud. Instantly, the ground shook, and the entire underground chamber seemed to tremble, the impact astonishing.

No mercy!

Understanding the situation, Mu Feng didn’t say a word and showed no mercy. The astonishing power of Eighteen Dragon Strength was fully displayed!

Sixth one!

Mu Feng’s tone was icy. After killing the rough-faced bald monk, he was about to move forward to eliminate all the bald monks in the chamber. Suddenly, a panicked cry came from behind. “Mu… Mu Feng Young Master, you… what are you doing here?”

“Li Niang? Why are you here too?”

Mu Feng whirled around in surprise, seeing a familiar face.

A beautiful woman, like a flower, stood behind him with tears welling in her eyes, looking pitiful and vulnerable. It was none other than his cousin-in-law, who used to hang around with that scoundrel Mu Qingyuan while he was alive.
