Chapter 356 (2/2)
One of the guards noticed some movement and was shocked to see a beauty coming out from behind a building. The five guards started drooling instantly while checking out all the good parts. Zhang Dong had to hold himself back from cringing and scoffing at the looks that these men were giving him.
”Oh no, I've seemed to have lost my way… I just arrived in the inner sect, could one of you senior brothers help a lady in distress out?”
Lucky for Zhang Dong the competition for the outer sect disciples had ended. It wouldn't be suspicious for some new faces to appear in the inner sect area. This was also what the guards here were thinking but due to the beauty they were seeing here, their perception was skewed. They abandoned all reason while devouring her with their eyes.
”Dear junior sister, you should not wander alone through the night, what if you catch a cold. Let this senior brother escort you back home!”
”What are you talking about? I will be the one to escort this junior sister back home!”
”No, it's going to be me!”
Soon the group of guards started fighting with each other while Zhang Dong stood there. He took on a strange uncomfortable pose that made his posterior and c.h.e.s.t stick out at the same time.
'How do girls do this stuff…'
”Be quiet all of you and get back to your post!”
Soon the captain of the group of four shouted out. His aura was enough to make the four weaker guards shrink back in fright.
”Show some decorum!”
The man was slightly older than the rest and seemed a bit more composed. This quickly changed as he gave Zhang Dong one of the most lecherous smiles that he had ever seen.
”Little lady, you should not be wandering around at this hour, if one of the elders spots you, you will be reprimanded.”
He started approaching Zhang Dong while the other four guards scoffed. They knew that they could not go against their captain and that he was just as attracted to the woman as they were.
”Oh no, could you show me the right way back senior brother? I seem to have lost my way.”
”Certainly junior sister, let this big brother show you the way…'
The man grinned and the two started walking away. Zhang Dong had to doge a hand going towards his hip. The four guards then looked on in despair as their captain went away with the beauty that was shaking her wide h.i.p.s side to side like a professional dancer.
”Damn, it should have been me…”
”Hah, why would that fairy even look at an ugly bastard like you!”
”What did you say?”
Two of the guards started shouting at each other but soon they quieted down after they heard a strange scream. It came from the direction that their captain and the beauty vanished into. They all looked at each other with wide eyes, was their captain more of a leech than they had thought?
”Captain?”
Soon the man returned. His clothes were slightly ruffled up and he had a red handprint on his cheek. The group of men started sniggering as they knew what had happened.
”What are you looking at, get back to your post!”
”Yes sir!”
'Well, that was easier than I expected, only my pride as a man was damaged...'
Of course, the man that returned was not the guard captain, it was Zhang Dong in disguise. He had made short work of the lecherous man and with a quick zap, he was out. After taking his face and clothes he returned.
He looked around and could see that most of this place was empty. The space was wide open and he could see stairs going up.
'That's a lot of stairs…'
It looked like the impossible staircase phenomenon with many of those stairs moving at an angle. It also seemed that there was some kind of illusory formation working here that would make it hard for anyone to ascend.
This only applied to normal cultivators and not to someone like Zhang Dong. With a quick glance, he already knew the correct path to ascend.
'I don't see any rooms, they must be up higher…'
Soon he ascended up, his plan was to get as far as he could. The closer he was to that storm the better it was for his cultivation.
While Zhang Dong made his way up towards his destination, there was trouble brewing. Far away from the Thunderball Hall, there was a group of cultivators in shadowy robes.
”You have served me well Zheng Ting, when we crush this Thunderball Hall you will be granted the position of high elder!”
”Thank you, my lord, I just wish to be useful to the Blood Poison Cult!”
The man looked to be in his mid-thirties. He was quite handsome but also quite powerful. Behind him was a swarm of flying boats along with many cultivators.
”Tonight, we shall bathe in our enemy's blood!”
He raised his fist high up while the other men cheered. Soon all of them faded away into the shadows, the approach would be slow and only when it was too late they would strike.
