The Southern Border, Cloud Mist Mountain.
Zou Feng gazed at the seemingly endless mountain range in the distance and took a deep breath.
The air on Cloud Mist Mountain was noticeably much sweeter than any place he had been before.
’This isn’t just so psychological feeling—it’s real, tangible. It’s as if this place has one of the legendary Spiritual Veins...’
It certainly made sense why Biyou Palace would build its main gate here.
Only five days had passed since Zou Feng had killed Kang Shixiang and the others.
He hadn’t gotten lost much while crossing Qifeng Mountain this ti; the journey had been relatively smooth.
The only regret was that Zou Feng hadn’t been able to find any of the other poisonous creatures Biyou Palace raised on Qifeng Mountain.
He didn’t even pass through the valley where he had once encountered the Giant Scorpion.
Also, for so unknown reason, during the days he spent traveling through Qifeng Mountain, Zou Feng had constantly felt a creeping dread.
It was as if so extrely terrifying presence was nearby, perhaps even watching him in secret.
Fortunately, nothing happened in the end, and he managed to cross the Qifeng Mountain Range safely.
And once he left the depths of Qifeng Mountain, that baseless sense of panic vanished completely.
’Thinking back on it, that heart-pounding fear probably ca from sothing even more terrifying that Biyou Palace is raising on Qifeng Mountain...’
But that wasn’t his business, so he didn’t dwell on it. After making so inquiries in the Southern Border, he confird his direction and traveled nonstop to the main gate of Biyou Palace.
A disciple from Biyou Palace was now guiding him.
Of course, disciples of Biyou Palace weren’t usually so accommodating; under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t just agree to guide a stranger.
But Zou Feng’s Fourth Grade Realm was plain to see. He also announced he was looking for the Cave Master of Silk Cave and asked the gatekeeping disciples to pass on the ssage.
So, it wasn’t long before soone, having confird that he did indeed know the Cave Master of Silk Cave, ca to guide him respectfully.
Zou Feng also noticed that after learning his identity, the guiding disciple seed to be treating him not just with respect, but with... ’Admiration?’
"Elder Zou, Silk Cave is just ahead. Forgive , but I can’t go any further..." the guide said apologetically. His expression was one of clear fear toward the inside of Silk Cave; he looked like he wanted to peek inside but didn’t dare.
Zou Feng looked over and was imdiately struck by the massive cave entrance before him.
This so-called Silk Cave wasn’t underground, but a mountain cave one could walk directly into.
The entrance was over three hundred feet wide and more than a hundred feet high.
The interior wasn’t gloomy or terrifying at all. On the contrary, because of the many openings in the mountain’s peak, the lighting inside the cave was surprisingly good.
In particular, the cave was dotted with various colored stones, which refracted the light to create a spectacular view.
Zou Feng even felt that if you brought a band in to play, you could turn Silk Cave into a dance club.
"What’s the matter? Are male disciples usually not allowed in Silk Cave?" Zou Feng asked, his gaze returning to the disciple, curious about his fearful expression.
The guide gave a sheepish laugh. "That’s not it. Silk Cave has no such rule. Male disciples can walk right in if they wish."
"It’s just that... getting in is easy. Getting out is the hard part..."
As he said this, a look of lingering fear crossed the disciple’s face.
The next mont, a peal of silvery laughter echoed from within the cave, along with the sound of many light, scattered footsteps.
Just hearing those footsteps, even knowing they must belong to the female disciples of Silk Cave, was enough to make one suspect that a swarm of giant spiders was rapidly approaching.
Hearing the laughter, the guide’s face paled. He hastily cupped his fist. "I’ll take my leave now!"
With that, he turned and fled in a panic.
Seeing this only made Zou Feng more curious.
However, he had a pretty good idea why.
’Spiders... in many species, the female eats the male to supplent her nutrition.’
’And those who practice a Spider Poison Skill might have a similar Replenishing Skill.’
’Sotis, it might not even be intentional. They get caught up in the heat of the mont and, before they know it, start... draining the juice.’
"Excuse , are you Young Master Zou?"
Four won erged from the depths of the cave. The laughter from a mont ago had co from them.
One look was all it took for Zou Feng to think, ’They really are Female Demons.’
In truth, the won weren’t exceptionally beautiful, but with the enhancent of their makeup, hairstyles, and clothes, their alluring charm was truly deadly.
Especially since they were wearing white, spiderweb-like "fishnets."
"I am," Zou Feng replied, collecting himself and cupping his fist.
"The Cave Master is waiting for Young Master Zou in the Practice Room. Please follow us..."
"Lead the way."
Zou Feng was skillful and bold; he wasn’t afraid to walk into the lion’s den.
This wasn’t blind confidence. After all, he had already killed several Fourth Grade Experts, including a genius from the Xuanhuang Sect like He Cang.
In short, even if a Third Grade Powerhouse tried to harm him, he was confident he could escape with ease, and might even attempt a counter-kill.
So, as long as he could keep it in his pants after entering Silk Cave, it wouldn’t be a big problem even if Teng County turned hostile.
However, the group of "white fishnets" swaying before him, occasionally glancing back with flirtatious eyes, was another matter.
Especially as they went deeper into Silk Cave, they would occasionally encounter other female disciples, so even bathing and playing in the cave’s pools. It was a real test of a man’s self-control.
Seeing a "pri specin" like him, many of the female disciples looked like they wanted to eat him alive...
Zou Feng was certain that if Teng County hadn’t given them prior instructions, these Female Demons would have been much more blatant in their advances.
