Chapter 70 Revealing the Master's Identity
During their whole stay in the cave, they received simple dishes from some thinly clad women.
Each day, a couple of young men were taken out of the cave, but they never came back. And everyone was clear that this wasn't
a good omen.
Then on the fourth day, all the female in the cave were taken out by some glamorous young ladies.
Those inside the cave felt like they were paralyzed by certain poison and couldn't defend themselves. They couldn't help but let
the young ladies order them around.
Before she was forced out of the cave, Mindy shot a rueful look at Austin because she knew that, like the others, she might not
return, either.
"Everything will be fine. Trust me, I'm working on it."
Austin tried to console her. That was the only thing he could do right now.
When Austin was caught by an attractive woman, the smell of her alluring fragrance left a mark on his olfactory. He reckoned
that it must be a deluding potion that hindered the operation of the vital energy.
So in the past days, Austin had been discreetly practicing the Golden Sun Scripture in the attempt to repel the scent that was
suppressing his vital energy.
Since this cultivation method was the most masculine among all the cultivation methods in the world according to the general
principles of the Golden Sun Scripture, Austin figured that it might be able to curb the effect of the elusive scent.
Just after two days of practice, Austin started to regain some control over his vital energy.
'Seems that Golden Sun Scripture is surely remarkable. Although its effect is not very conspicuous after a short practice.'
He thought that the lack of satisfying result was due to his insufficient practice of the Golden Sun Scripture. After all, his current
cultivation was practically based on his study on the Purple Yang Formula.
Be that as it may, Austin kept practicing the Golden Sun Scripture continuously since he realized that it could negate the effect of
the deluding scent inside his body.
Finally, the cultivation method worked its magic. Austin sensed that he was gradually recovering his strength and vital energy.
It was exactly the thing he told Mindy that he was working on before she was taken out of the cave.
However, Austin was still clueless about the power of that attractive woman. Even if he recovered all his vital energy, he probably
could not match that woman with his current sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.
By the seventh day, there were only four men left in the cave.
Each of them was shuddering in fear, worried that they would be the next target.
Then their biggest fear finally came upon them.
They watched as the iron door swung open with a creak
and two young women came in.
They studied the remaining four males before walking towards Austin.
The other three sighed in relief then darted gloating looks at Austin.
Aware of their spiteful glances, Austin shook his head. 'Those guys are just unbelievable. Even though we are on the same boat
now, they can still think about scheming against one another!'
As he was being escorted out of the cave, he was wrapped by the unique fragrance of the two stunning beauties. But instead of
being flustered, Austin sniffed hard and complimented the good scent they brought in.
The two young women were surprised for a moment but then burst into a gale of giggles. They thought Austin was being funny.
The other men who they brought away before only whined and cried, but Austin dared to flatter them with his glib tongue.
Austin knew he could not let himself be kept in the cave like this, so he had long since been racking his brain for a way out. Now,
his turn to go could be his opportunity to escape as well. He decided to let the women do their normal routine first, and then he
would figure something out as the events unfolded.
After practicing the Golden Sun Scripture for a week, he had already driven away all the deluding scent inside him and retrieved
the control over his vital energy.
Moreover, he found out that the little spot of light in his elixir field was expanding.
When he first started with the Golden Sun Scripture, that spot of light was so small that the naked eye could not pick it up. But
after his continuous practice, it was already as large as a grain of rice.
Now, the little spot of light was suspending behind his navel, emitting dazzling golden rays and warming his body up like a
miniature sun.
Austin also had a vague feeling that his vital energy was becoming stronger than before. When he slightly clenched his fists,
immense power began surging in his body.
Therefore, even if he was about to face great danger by the time he was taken out of the cave, he remained calm.
"Has anyone told you that you're both gorgeous? And the scent smells good on you, too? I think I'm falling under your spell!"
Austin said as they were on their way to an unknown place. To also sound convincing, Austin deliberately flared up his nostrils
and sniffed the two young women. He also stared at their breasts while drooping stupidly.
The two young women, who seemed not offended at all, chortled. They were even more convinced that Austin was a very
interesting guy.
"Who knew you could be so flattering? But our master needs you to exercise her skills. Looking at you now, it's unfortunate that I
have to bring you to her," one of the young women said and then sniggered bashfully.
Austin felt his heart racing fast. While still being escorted, Austin wanted to know more about the said master, so he asked
questions as if he was interested in her body and charm.
"Your master? The sister with splendid beauty? I thought I would never see her again! The last time I saw her, I was smitten with
her. I almost lost control and licked her toes!"
"Certainly! Our master has quite profound power on seducing people. There's no way a silly man like you can resist her charm!"
'I knew it was just a trick of illusion!' Austin thought.
After a long walk in an unknown place, they arrived at another cave.
This cave was aromatically perfumed with some pink petals falling on the luxurious red carpet. The cave had an overall alluring
look.
In the middle of the cave stood a bed with curtains hanging from its posters.
A seductively sexy woman was lying on the bed with one hand propping up her head. She looked in Austin's way, her eyes
exuding love and desire.
Upon laying his eyes on the woman, Austin confirmed that this was the woman who captured him.
The woman chuckled as she lay in bed. She beckoned Austin and murmured something to him.
Not for long, Austin couldn't control himself. All his reasons forsook him, and his eyes grew scarlet as his breath became harsher
and louder.
He just could not wait to run towards the fragrant bed and rip those curtains apart.
Now, all he could see was that lovely woman and her curvy body lying on the bed.
The woman slowly got to her feet with her passionate eyes still locked at Austin.
Austin seemed already stupefied, completely at the mercy of that woman.
All of a sudden, the head of that enticing woman transformed into a furry one with pointed mouth and elongated ears. It was the
head of a fox!
That fox opened her mouth and inhaled. Austin immediately felt the masculine energy in his body was about to flee and fly
towards that woman as if under her summon.
"Humph!" Austin snorted. His eyes transformed from being misty to bright and clear.
A Spiritual Sense Flying Needle suddenly shot out and swiftly pierced into the Soul Sea of that fox.
At once, that fox was hit by an invisible power. She was pushed back to the wall of the cave, shrieking and struggling and her
mouth was full of blood. Then, she just gawked at Austin as though he were a devil.
"Do you really think you can fool me again with your little illusion?"
After successfully attacking, Austin could not hide his delight.
The moment he stepped into the cave he immediately recognized the power surrounding him.
He guessed it was from a demonic beast.
It was the same feeling he had when he killed those second-grade magic foxes in the Beast Mountain.
Back then, Austin was walking through a band of thick woods in the depths of the Beast Mountain. Unexpectedly, three
coquettish women appeared out of the blue and did their best to tantalize him.
At first, he almost fell into their trap. There was no doubt that such alluring illusion was quite effective when it was used on
innocent young men like Austin.
But thanks to his strong spiritual sense, he managed to keep a cool head and summon his spiritual sense in time. Eventually, he
saw the true color of the three beauties—they were the three magic foxes!
The foxes were casting an illusion on Austin. But when he counter-attacked with his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle, the illusion
they conjured vanished, and their own senses were harmed. Without any hesitation, Austin thrust his sword into them one by
one.
When attacking with spiritual sense, one should bear it in mind that it was a risky move if the spiritual sense of his opponent was
stronger than his. The one with the weakest spiritual sense would be subdued by the one with a stronger spiritual sense which
could, in turn, harm the first's own spiritual sense.
The three magic foxes in the Beast Mountain did the same thing, so as a result, they were maimed by Austin's spiritual sense
and got killed.
This experience helped Austin sensed what was in the cave.
He realized that the cave was just an illusion but this one was more advanced than that cast by the three magic foxes in the
Beast Mountain.
Despite that, Austin wasn't afraid because the power of his spiritual sense had also doubled since the Beast Mountain encounter.
Thus, when he noticed the woman was manipulating him with an illusion, he became more confident that the woman's spiritual
sense was a little weaker than his.
With the small gap in their power, Austin was able to discover where the trap was as soon as he came into that cave.
But apart from her feeble spiritual sense, Austin also noticed that the cave was infused with overwhelmingly demonic aura. From
then, Austin could tell that she was a three-grade demonic beast.
Thus, he decided to play along at first. He pretended to have been deluded before throwing out his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle
at a critical moment.
When the illusion vanished, that beguiling woman in bed disappeared, and so did that bed and the red rugs in the cave. There
was only a small fox with sleek pink fur sprawling on the ground, her mouth bleeding but her hateful eyes transfixed on Austin.
Judging by her lethargic breathing, Austin knew that the Spiritual Sense Flying Needle injured her severely.
Given that she was halfway through casting the illusion when she was hit, it was her spiritual sense that was harmed in the
collision.
"This can't be! You're merely a human being at level six of Energy Gathering Realm. How come you possess such a strong
spiritual sense?"
That fox spoke in man's language, her voice filled with bitterness.
'She sure is a three-grade demonic beast!' As he sensed the dense demonic aura, Austin knew that he didn't underestimate the
opponent.
