Chapter 1517 - 1364: My Younger Brother Is the Villain 61
This scenery carries an inexplicable amorous charm, even the fragrance in the surrounding air has turned cloyingly sweet, and the music also carries a decadent intention.
As the music soared, and the fragrance grew stronger, a group of exquisitely handsome men suddenly appeared, each dressed differently, with their own unique temperament and appearance.
Some were dignified and graceful like gentlemen, some casually elegant like suave scholars, some with thin translucent clothes like alluring demon men, some with a sinister smile of utmost wicked charm, some with androgynous beauty you cannot tell male from female, some rugged and masculine like fierce handsome men, and some gentle and charming enough to rival women.
All these various types of handsome men surrounded Nie Shuangshuang, smiling at her with a myriad of expressions.
Some leaned close to tempt and seduce her, some recited love poems with flushed faces, some bold handsome men performing sword dances, some soft charming men dancing, dignified gentlemen playing the zither, and suave scholars playing the flute.
This scene was truly one that would make a woman willingly indulge, a mesmerizing enchantment.
Nie Shuangshuang was surrounded by these handsome men, feeling helpless. This Illusion Realm truly underestimated her; why would it think she’d enjoy being surrounded by these handsome men?
From the time she began cultivation to becoming a Main God, and to the present, not a single man has touched her heart, this Illusion Realm’s allure is far less than that of previous Immortal Treasures and the High Throne.
Moreover, if Nie Shuangshuang did like this sort of thing, she could gather a harem of thirty thousand beautiful men herself, so why would she need this Illusion Realm to arrange them for her?
Nie Shuangshuang remained unmoved, and this Illusion quickly dissipated. Next, Nie Shuangshuang found herself in a sizable dining hall with a massive table before her, laden with all sorts of gourmet dishes.
These foods covered nearly every kind of cuisine Nie Shuangshuang knew of across various worlds, with thousands of delicious dishes displayed in front of her, causing Nie Shuangshuang to swallow reflexively.
Just a moment ago she laughed at the Illusion Realm’s inability to tempt her, yet in the next moment, she felt she might succumb to its allure, wondering if the delicacies in this Illusion could provide genuine taste sensations.
If they could, then she could feast vigorously, since the food in the Illusion isn’t real, it wouldn’t matter if she devoured all these illusory delicacies.
Just as Nie Shuangshuang’s willpower wavered, contemplating whether or not to eat, a sharp cry suddenly echoed by her ear, and the grand dining hall before her, along with countless gourmet dishes, shattered and vanished in an instant.
Nie Shuangshuang almost couldn’t help but reach out to retain them, as she hadn’t even taken a single bite yet, and she saw several exquisite delicacies this world did not possess, how unfortunate!
Of course, Nie Shuangshuang felt frantic regret in her heart, yet her outward appearance remained calm and rational, standing icily as if she was not the one almost ensnared by the Illusion moments before.
The one who emitted the cry was Zhu Meng, that sharp cry was a phantom sound wave unique to the Phantom Monkey clan which cracked open the Illusion Realm, and as the environment faded, the scenery before her reverted, revealing that she had merely stepped off the stone bridge.
Afterwards, the Illusions proceeded smoothly, without the Gourmet Illusion, the Illusions were merely a novelty for Nie Shuangshuang, nothing could truly tempt her.
Passing through a total of twelve Illusions along the way, Nie Shuangshuang finally reached the largest central cave within the underground grotto, where a thick stench of blood permeated.
The cave walls of this cavern were embedded with Luminous Pearls, illuminating the area as bright as daylight, and completely exposing the hell-like scene at the center.
This cave was immensely vast, yet within it, nearly a hundred people were present, each exuding spiritual power fluctuations, evidently all cultivators.
These cultivators were suspended mid-air through various cruel methods, each appearing to have suffered immense torture, with skeletal bones exposed, and many organs revealed on their bodies.
The spiritual power of these cultivators was not sealed, allowing continuous circulation to keep them alive despite severe injuries, yet their bodies were ensnared by chains that absorbed external spiritual power, rendering escape impossible.
Beneath these cultivators lay a vast blood pool, where the blood flowing from their bodies accumulated, the blood imbued with spiritual energy having numerous uses.
Nie Shuangshuang briefly contemplated the Blood Demon Venerable Master’s cultivation methods, and the blood sea under his feet, it was clear what these cultivators’ blood was being used for.
These cultivators dangling above the blood pool, suffering horrific torture, nonetheless possessed extremely sharp awareness.
The will of a cultivator far exceeds that of an ordinary person, even amid such torment, each retained undiminished anger in their expressions, with some even relentlessly struggling despite the pain, only for blood to flow faster the more they struggled.
Nie Shuangshuang unleased the Thousand Silk Entanglement, bringing down the cultivators suspended above, and conveniently severed the chains sealing their external spiritual power.
Though these cultivators appeared on the verge of their last breath, the truth was that a cultivator’s body is incredibly resilient.
After Nie Shuangshuang distributed Spiritual Medicine one by one, these cultivators healed nearly seventy to eighty percent of their injuries within a mere quarter-hour upon consumption.
However, their bodies suffered long-term bloodletting, relentlessly producing blood, leaving them ultimately injured, though the wounds were healed, they still felt physically weak, as if recovering from a severe illness.
Fortunately, no one’s Immortal Root was damaged, bodily deficiencies can be replenished with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, had their Immortal Root been damaged, it would have been beyond repair.
After recovering from their injuries, the group of cultivators stepped forward to bow and thank Nie Shuangshuang, whose reputation in the Cultivation World was immense, with many recognizing her, including over half who were disciples from the Four Great Immortal Sects.
No disciple from the Four Great Immortal Sects didn’t know who Nie Shuangshuang was, each expressing gratitude repeatedly, though there was one person among them who surprised Nie Shuangshuang.
This person was Su Hua, Sect Leader of the Illusion Sound Sect, a considerably beautiful woman who had already reached the Out-of-Body Stage. According to Su Hua, she had encountered the Blood Demon Venerable Master by chance and was captured by him.
As Sect Leader of the Illusion Sound Sect, Su Hua acted fairly, but despite her exceptional talent, she was an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple personally promoted by the previous Sect Leader, holding no connections with any elder families in the Illusion Sound Sect.
Thus, despite Su Hua’s fair conduct, she struggled to fully command authority, which led to a situation where two Vice Sect Leaders held real power and were embroiled in a power struggle despite her leadership.
Feng Feiyu was in a state of shock upon learning Su Hua’s identity, recalling how in his past life, Sect Leader Su Hua of the Illusion Sound Sect went missing after venturing to eliminate Evil Cultivators.
Rumor later spread that Sect Leader Su Hua had been killed by the Evil Cultivators, and somehow, the entire Illusion Sound Sect recognized this rumor, coinciding with Vice Sect Leader Liang Youzhang obtaining the Sound Dao legacy of an Ancient Cultivator, greatly advancing his cultivation, and ultimately ascending to the position of Sect Leader.
Feng Feiyu’s lips suddenly curled into a smile, this life, Su Hua was rescued by Nie Shuangshuang by a twist of fate, and Liang Youzhang lost the Sound Dao legacy, truly the Heavenly Dao favors karma, let’s see how he manages to secure the Sect Leader position now.
