Chapter 228: The Ignited Fuse

In the lobby on the first floor of the inn where Ye Feng was staying, in front of the reception desk.
A woman stood there with a hostile expression. “Has an monk checked into your inn recently? He’s short and fat, with small eyes and a big nose. Oh, and he squints and smirks sexually when he sees women…”
“He’s in Room 1808. Why are so many people looking for him lately?” The receptionist shook her head helplessly.
“You perverted monk! I finally found you!” the woman said angrily before rushing upstairs.
All the forces keeping a close eye on that demonic monk suddenly noticed that a woman had rushed straight into his room. What was even more puzzling was that they clearly saw her cultivation level was only at the Diversion stage…
“Has this woman gone mad?” Ye Feng said speechlessly. Her actions were undoubtedly suicidal. Moreover, she didn’t have the strength to compete for the key to the treasure.
But what happened in that demonic monk’s room was even more astonishing.
The woman kicked open the door to Room 1808 and shouted inside, “You perverted monk! I’m going to kill you!”
The monk’s subordinates tried to move, but he stopped them with a gesture. He slowly walked to the door. “A woman?”
When he saw it was a woman, a lecherous glint appeared in his eyes.
“Woman, come in!” A red glow flashed in the monk’s eyes. The woman, who had been holding a long sword, dropped it and walked up to him silently.
The monk reached out and touched the woman’s face. “This face resembles that woman I had relations with a few days ago. Tell me, woman, what’s your relationship with her?”
“She’s my sister,” the woman said expressionlessly, as if it wasn’t about her.
“I see. If I had known, I would have waited for you both. Sisters, I love you the most!” The monk tiptoed closer to her ear and spoke obscenely.
“Call your sister here. This time, the three of us will…” His words were clearly not a suggestion but an order to the woman.
“She committed suicide!” The woman remained expressionless, showing neither anger nor sorrow…
“Oh, I see. That’s really a shame!” The monk raised his eyebrows slightly. “Well, I’ll settle for just you then.”

“Remember, after serving me, you still have a whole bunch of people to serve!” the Demon Monk said, looking at the dozen or so men behind him with a lewd smile on his face.
“Such beasts are worse than animals!” Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly upon seeing this scene, the bones in his fingers cracking loudly.
Lilith, on the other hand, remained expressionless. “Calm down. If we act rashly now, it won’t lead to anything good.”
“Do you expect me to just watch as that woman is abused by him and then tortured to death by others?” Ye Feng shouted at Lilith.
“It’s not just us who are watching him; there are many other forces as well,” Lilith said, shaking her head. “Someone will take action about this. Don’t worry!”
“What if everyone else thinks the same way?” Ye Feng continued to frown, feeling it was unreliable to rely on others for such matters.
“Then we can only wait for the right opportunity to avenge her,” Lilith replied without hesitation.
“The Demon Monk is an extremely lewd creature. Since they were once monks, after falling away, they fully unleash their desires—regarding power, money, sex, and so on. These desires reach an extreme level, dozens of times stronger than those of ordinary people… What he did was completely within my expectations…” Lilith explained. “If you act rashly, you’ll only put yourself in trouble. We still haven’t found a way to break this control.”
Ye Feng sat back on the sofa angrily, saying nothing. Though he knew Lilith was telling the truth, he found it hard to accept it.
He stopped looking at the surveillance screen, while Lilith glanced at Ye Feng before focusing back on the screen to watch what happened next.
Meanwhile, in another room, two women were also staring at the projection on the wall, which showed the image of the Demon Monk.
“Xiaoxue, I’m going to castrate that bald bastard!” the armored woman said to the woman in white.
“I have no objection, but if we act now, it will completely deviate from our original plan!” Although the woman in white said this, she didn’t seem too opposed to the armored woman’s idea.
“If we don’t act now, that girl will be abused by him!” the armored woman said anxiously.
“Alright!” The woman in white finally nodded.
The two women acted immediately, appearing at the door of Room 1808 in an instant.

The appearance of the two women clearly caused a stir among the others in the room, and the demon monk obviously knew they were not friendly, so he gave orders for his controlled followers to attack them. More than a dozen powerful fighters rushed at the two women, but they all ended up on the ground with just a raise of their hands. After all, in the realm of cultivation, the strength of the Lingxian level is vastly different from those below it.

“No matter how many fools there are, they’re still just fools,” the armored woman said with disdain, pointing at the young woman held by the demon monk. “Release her immediately!”

“Oh, so you’re the two leaders of the Flower Sect. I’ve long heard of your fame. Seeing you in person today, you’re even more beautiful than the legends say!” the demon monk flattered her.

“Tch, stop flattering me. Don’t think a few sweet words will get you away with it. We saw everything you did just now!” the armored woman said coldly. “You’re nothing but a scum-like beast—there’s no reason for you to exist at all!”

“Don’t say that. You two are goddesses in my eyes! If you keep that up, I’ll be upset!” the demon monk continued with a fake smile.

“Stop talking nonsense. Release that girl!” the woman in the white dress said coldly.

“Easy for you to say!” the demon monk shook his head and laughed. “If I release her, you two will immediately attack me and grind me to dust to satisfy your hatred.”

The two women didn’t argue, because it was obvious they wanted to kill him anyway—there was no need to justify it, and they saw no point in lying.

“What do you want?” the armored woman asked, furious.

“What I want is simple: kill my subordinates—and then you’ll become mine!” the demon monk smiled eerily at them before snapping his fingers.

At that moment, something strange happened—the armored woman wildly swung her sword at the woman in the white dress beside her. The woman in the white dress frowned slightly. She knew the other woman was under control and cried out at her, “Xiao Ying, it’s me! Wake up!”

“Gah… Even if you shout your lungs out, she won’t hear you,” the demon monk sneered.

“Kill you, and everything will be solved!” The woman in the white dress frowned as a long sword appeared in her hand, pointing straight at him.

“Kill me? Deal with your sister first!” the demon monk laughed arrogantly.

Meanwhile, the armored woman stepped between the two, glaring angrily at the woman in the white dress.

Just as the two were facing off, a deep and resonant man’s voice reached their ears, “Do you want to stay alive, or do you decide to continue this game?”
Meng Shan was gripping the demon monk’s neck with one hand, seemingly ready to strangle him at the slightest movement.
The woman in the white dress didn’t seem surprised by his appearance at all; she merely raised her eyelids slightly in his direction before continuing to stare at the armored woman across from her.
“Alright, I surrender…” The demon monk raised his hands, showing no intention of resisting.
“Release your control over those two immediately,” Meng Shan said coldly. “Otherwise, I’ll break your neck first, then tear apart your dantian and the demon infant.”
“That’s easy. Let go of me first!” The demon monk seemed to have chosen compromise.
Seeing that Meng Shan showed no sign of releasing him, the demon monk spread his hands and said, “If you don’t let go, I can’t release my control over them.”
Only then did Meng Shan reluctantly loosen his grip, still skeptical.
The demon monk proudly patted his clothes, glanced at Meng Shan, who remained wary, and clapped his hands twice.
As soon as the clapping stopped, the sound of shattering glass came from the window, and a man with a formidable aura appeared in front of Meng Shan.
“Enjoy this game!” the demon monk said to Meng Shan, clearly pleased with his clever trick.
Meng Shan was furious at being deceived; to him, it was nothing but mockery.
The man before him was actually a Seven Calamities Immortal. In such a short time, he likely couldn’t get rid of this man’s interference, let alone attack the demon monk.
“No need to struggle. You all will become my puppets, it’s just a matter of time!” the demon monk said to Meng Shan and the woman in the white dress.
“Soul capture magic only works on those with higher cultivation levels and takes longer than usual, right? That’s why you deliberately delayed and chatted with us at first… to control Xiao Ying. How long did it take you to successfully control her? Three minutes, or five? And now you’re making those two fight against us to buy yourself time, right?” The woman in the white dress finally noticed something unusual in the details. “So you can use soul capture magic on us!”
