Chapter 321: Woman in Red Dress

The Sama Cave lies beneath Fire绒 Mountain.

Many Cultivators originally intended to go to Blood Bodhi Mountain to seize the Blood Bodhi Fruits.

However, all the Blood Bodhi Fruits had already been claimed. Now, Blood Bodhi Mountain was barren and empty, leaving no reason for anyone to return there.

Among the top-tier treasure spots within the Rootless Mystic Realm, only a few places truly existed, one of which was the Sama Cave.

An increasing number of Cultivators were arriving at the Sama Cave.

Fortunately, the Sama Cave was like a vast tunnel system, extremely large and labyrinthine, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of Cultivators.

But inside the Sama Cave, the real danger wasn’t so much from the environment itself as it was from the Cultivators themselves who constantly engaged in mutual slaughter.

You never knew when an ambush might strike, leading to your untimely demise.

In the eyes of many, while the Rootless Mystic Realm did indeed contain treasures, weren’t other Cultivators also carrying treasures?

Sacking an entire city wouldn’t yield as much as waiting for the right person to rob.

Sometimes, plundering proved far more rewarding.

Especially in a place like the Sama Cave, with its dim lighting and walls on all sides, setting up ambushes was incredibly easy, and there was nowhere to run.

Thus, the Sama Cave during previous visits to the Rootless Mystic Realm was always a gathering place for lawless individuals.

But this time was different. This time, everyone inside the Sama Cave was behaving obediently, not a single person had the heart to set up an ambush.

Everyone walking through the Sama Cave had beads of cold sweat on their foreheads, nervously glancing around, their heads occasionally dripping with perspiration as if they were wary of something.

“Brother, how are we supposed to get out?” The young girl named Hu Sheng clung tightly to her brother’s arm, her originally delicate lips now slightly pale.

They came from a sect of Yuan Ying level, having received two spots to enter the Rootless Mystic Realm, hoping to seek opportunities here.

They knew they shouldn’t have come to the Sama Cave; they hadn’t planned to compete for any Xiānpǐn-grade materials. They just wanted to collect some ordinary spiritual treasures from the Rootless Mystic Realm.

But somehow, they ended up wandering in here unintentionally.

Once inside, according to the map, they could cautiously navigate through without being ambushed, making it possible to leave.

However, they soon realized that the map was utterly useless inside the Sama Cave.

The Sama Cave had transformed entirely into a maze, confusing their sense of direction. The original map had become nothing but scrap paper.

Wang Song patted his younger female fellow practitioner’s small hand. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get you out.”

“Hmm.” Hu Sheng nodded.

Though the girl understood that her brother was merely comforting her, she still felt a bit relieved in her heart.

“Watch out!”

As the pair moved forward, Wang Song shouted loudly.

He pushed his sister to the ground as several throwing daggers flew past them, striking the wall and exploding.

“Hehehe, this little miss looks quite nice.” A group of Cultivators approached.

Wang Song and his sister stood up to face several ill-intentioned Cultivators.

“I think we should tie up this guy and have some fun with his younger female fellow practitioner, letting him watch.” One Cultivator suggested.

“I think that works too.” Another Cultivator agreed.

“That’s settled then.” The leader licked his lips. “Charge!” As he spoke, four Cultivators rushed toward Wang Song and Hu Sheng.

“Go! I’ll cover the rear!”

Wang Song shoved his sister. “Brother! I won’t leave!” Hu Sheng said.

“Leave quickly! Otherwise, neither of us will make it out!”

Hu Sheng chanted a spell, and water ropes formed a dense net in front of her.

“Brother! If we die, let’s die together!”

Hu Sheng bit her lip and refused to leave.

As both sides clashed, Wang Song and Hu Sheng weren’t weak. In a two-on-two fight, they would’ve stood a chance.

But the enemy outnumbered them, and their techniques were extremely underhanded, likely originating from rogue Cultivators.

“Brother!”

When Hu Sheng was kicked away, she saw the long blade cutting towards her brother.

Her eyes reddened as she watched helplessly as her brother was split in two, blood spraying everywhere.

“What a pity.” The lead man shook the blood off his Changdao onto nearby rocks. “Your brother won’t be able to see you enjoy yourself with us. Don’t worry, little miss, it’ll feel great! You’ll love it.”

The four men took slow steps toward Hu Sheng.

Hu Sheng clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

“Ha ha ha…”

Just as Hu Sheng was about to burn her life essence to take them all down with her, a woman’s soft laughter echoed from the cave.

“Who’s there?”

The four looked frantically around.

“Aaaah!”

With a scream, the others turned to see a woman in red extending her delicate hand into the chest of one of their comrades.

The woman pulled out his heart, inspecting it closely as blood trickled down her fair and slender fingers.

The woman had a graceful figure, tall and elegant. Her red Chángqún was loosely tied with a red ribbon, revealing her curves like mountain ridges. The dress barely reached her calves, with uneven edges as if it had been carelessly torn.

Her exposed lower legs and white ankles contrasted sharply with the red of her skirt.

Her hands were exquisite, looking like pieces of art that one couldn’t tire of admiring even after years of observation.

The woman slowly turned around, looking at the remaining three. She straightened her fingers, wrist downward, allowing the heart to slip from her palm and fall to the ground with a “plop.”

The crowd swallowed hard, feeling as though their own hearts had been ripped out and dropped.

[Tomorrow, I’m planning to visit Cloud Peak Mountain. The problem is that my Wuling Mini has only a 170 km range, with a round trip of 110 km. I’m somewhat worried about the battery, but I doubt I’ll run out unless traffic gets bad. Hopefully, there won’t be any traffic jams; otherwise, if I end up stuck on the road and the battery dies, it’ll be double trouble.

I should save up some money. Eventually, I really need to switch cars; otherwise, every time I go out, I’ll keep worrying about the battery, which is quite troublesome.]
