That was a Nightcrawler Spider demon beast, a creature that lurks and preys in Night. It spits thread which is ten times tougher than steel and fine as a hair. The thread wraps around a person unnoticed and traps him like a fly.
What makes them more scary is the Yin Qi spreading through its thread to the body of prey and slowly destroys his meridians. Cultivators have no choice but to block their meridians to avoid being made cripple. But physical strength alone makes it hard for them to break through the net.
Only those who cultivate Body Strengthening Technique or Yin Cultivation Technique can fight them on equal grounds, or if their Realm is much higher than it.
The one slanting his eyes at Tian or more like where he was standing, was a Half - Step Tribulation Transcendence Demon Spider. Even a peak Tribulation Transcendence Cultivator would struggle with him for his life.
Though he couldn't sense Tian in front of him, he was after all a King among Demon Beasts who preys at night. His innate sharp sixth sense and intuition developed through living and hunting in the dark since hundreds of years told him that something was wrong.
The Nightcrawler was getting impatient and he released his thread in stealth, fine as a hair , which were almost invisible in this dark space until one focused. The thread stayed near the ground to avoid detection and crawled slowly towards Tian.
Tian just stood there , and let the thread entrap him tightly. The Beast naturally sensed someone caught in his net. He thought that he had outsmarted the thief and became arrogant. He tightened the binding to force the thief to show himself.
" A little haughty spider, aren't you . Is your master like that too ?" Tian undid his stealth while provoking the Beast.
RAWWRR*
The nightwalker was not happy with his words and let out a loud roar and tightened his thread further to strangle him to death.
"Wait " ..but a cold and indifferent voice made him stop.
Splash*
A person came out of the lake and went to the side of the lake, her feet not touching the floor . She was walking on air softly and steadily, star-naked. She had silver-white hair made into a high-ponytail.
Sharp red eyes with an aloofness but a deep hidden killing intent.
Her figure was slim and smooth. Firm breasts with two little pink buds, a curvy waist that everyone would want to hold and hips moving sideways in a rhythm with each step. Her secret place was covered with silver hair, blood droplets sticking to them. She was a temptation for anyone and everyone.
She walked near Tian and bent down to pick her dress, giving a nice view to his eyes.
She dried herself and got dressed just like that ,piece by piece , in front of Tian.
A black one piece , reaching her knees. Cut-open on both sides from her thighs till end. There were golden threads connecting her backless dress from behind. Two golden skull shaped shoulder pieces on each side and a golden lower-half skull shaped mask on her face.
She was wearing silky white, semi-transparent gloves on her hands extending from her arms till her fingers. Finally, similar silky-white , semi-transparent tights reaching her thighs.
Along with the sword having a long silver Blade and an obsidian black handle with golden lining at end. There was a crescent shaped crimson colour mark on her neck.
All these features made her look like a Seductress, a Death Reaper, a Fairy.
She stood up again after tidying herself and came face-to-face with Tian.
Though he was still trapped, he enjoyed the beautiful sight in front of to the fullest.
"If I didn't know better I would have thought you were seducing me" he gave a knowing smile while walking out of the net effortlessly toward the woman.
She didn't get surprised by his act and just looked into his eyes calmly, as if looking for something which she failed to find.
After a long time staring at him , she asked the obvious..
"Who are you? What are you doing here ?"
Tian was now standing next to her and watching her calm appearance, he was satisfied internally.
" Good ,nothing less expected from Nine-Yin-Meridian-Constitution , calm and indifferent.
You can call me Master Tian , and for what I am doing here, well you can just say I was passing by and noticed something interesting so I came inside ." he replied in an arrogant manner while staring at her lecherously.
She noticed his dirty gaze but didn't say anything and just smiled sweetly while tucking her hair behind her ears in a seductive manner.
" My name is Shen Ziyen, Master Tian can just call me Ziyen . I think Master Tian should be tired after a long trip. How about you follow me to our humble Sect and take some rest ?"
"Sure, lead the way."
And just like that a grunting spider , an enchantress, and a lecherous man who couldn't stop looking at those shaking hips went outside.
' This girl's acting skill is not bad, didn't know you had some disciples too.' Ren's mocking voice came inside Tian's mind as they came out.
' What acting, I'm just simply an arrogant and lecherous Senior , someone who just happened to meet a Seductress and got charmed.'
Tian replied as he followed closely behind Shen Ziyen , ogling her to his heart's desire.
'Tch , I feel bad for that girl. Leading a wolf inside her home .' Ren was back to her bickering but Tian didn't mind, he liked it this way.
Not surprisingly, no one noticed a Little Feline over Tian's shoulder, as she too wanted a little fun herself.
As they came to the entrance , the two female guards noticed someone following their Miss , and he was shamelessly digging his eyes all over her body. Just as they were about to take action, Shen Ziyen gestured them to stop.
" This is Master Tian, don't be rude . Come and greet him."
Both of them understood something was wrong when they saw their Miss acting in this way, nonetheless they came forward and clasped their hands in greeting.
" Greetings, Master Tian . We apologize if we have offended you." Their words were synchronised and they spoke in a monotonous manner. But Tian could see a little dissatisfaction hidden in their eyes .
" No need to be courteous, it's all our people." He didn't miss the opportunity to lay his eyes on their bodies, appreciating their hourglass figures.
" Great. Our body is like a temple, the better we take care of it, the more peaceful your mind is and the further you can go in the path of cultivation. I can see that these two Temples are made of jade. I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come inside and worship the dao together ?"
The two were obviously not happy with his double meaning remark, but seeing that their Miss didn't say anything they could only be polite .
" We are just mere servants, not worthy of Master Tian. "
"Good , good .." he nodded to himself after taking one more look at them .
" Master Tian, since our Sect hall is surrounded by a Protective Formation, we have to go through a teleportation platform so as not to activate the formation and disturb others. I hope you don't mind."
Shen Ziyen gave a worried look, which was hard to resist for others.
" It's not like I mind, it's just that I feel nauseous when I use a teleportation platform , unless I hold someone's hand. "..his gaze was on Shen Ziyen's little hand.
The three ladies present of course understood what he was implying, just as the two female guards were about to protest ,Shen Ziyen took Tian's hand in her own.
" It would be my honor to help you, Master Tian." Her plastic smile was so good that even her followers were dazed.
Thus, hand-in-hand Tian and Shen Ziyen descended the Mountain and came across a plaza. There weren't many people around. Just a few female Inner disciples with Golden Core Cultivation.
When they saw their Holy Maiden Shen Ziyen holding an unknown man's hand while walking and smiling, they all were dumbstruck.
" Who's this idiot? I haven't seen him before. " someone asked.
" How would I know? It's my first time seeing him. "
" What's there to ask? He must be Holy Maiden's new admirer. I bet she's going to deal with him like the previous ones" someone said with a crafty smile.
" Yeah, these Young Masters of Big clans are all idiots. Just one look from Holy Maiden and they start behaving like love-blinded fools. "
" Well, that's the reason Holy Maiden came with a ' Special ' way of dealing with them."
Thinking about the methods of their Holy Maiden , all people shuddered.
" They have seen only her enchantress side , but only we know why she's called the ' Death Reaper ' , that's not just a fancy title she gave herself you know. "
" Sigh, like a moth attracted to a flame. Miserable moths."
" No need to feel sorry for them. Is just anybody worthy of our Holy Maiden? She even rejected Feng Aotian, you know. And look at that boy , even an outer disciple from our Sect looks more handsome than him!!"
When all of them turned their eyes to Tian and saw his Vagabond appearance, they all started laughing. Tian just didn't want to show his real appearance so soon and miss all the fun.
" Speaking of Feng Aotian, I have heard that he had a breakthrough and now he's the youngest Divine Transformation Realm Cultivator. He's not even 1000 years old. I heard that he is celebrating his 950th Birthday and his breakthrough next month. All prodigies around the world are invited. "
" I don't know who'll be his lucky Dao companion. "
" I don't think he'll take one, he's crazy about our Holy Maiden after all."
When they turned to look over their Holy Maiden, they had already activated the teleportation platform and disappeared.
