#157 - Chapter 157: Wine and meat, music and singing every night
The sun was setting, and the woods were filled with the chill of autumn.
Xiao Qing led the way, and they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
Forget about ghosts, they didn't even see a single person.
Everyone was heading towards the inner circle, leaving the outer perimeter sparsely populated, and Ye Kong and his group were located on the very edge.
Therefore, they hadn't encountered anyone along the way, making it very safe.
"Following Master is too dangerous; it's much safer with Senior Sister leading the way," Xiao Bai couldn't help but exclaim.
When following Master, it's either ghosts or illusions; they've only been traveling for two days, and they've encountered trouble both times.
Lin Yaoyao nodded in agreement, feeling the same way; following Master not only took them far out of the way but also led them into danger.
If they couldn't win, they would all be finished.
Ye Kong listened to Lin Yaoyao and the others' conversation, shaking his head and smiling.
Did he not know the way?
He knew, he knew it very well!
Including the place he was taking Lin Yaoyao and the others, Ye Kong had sensed something amiss beforehand and decided to detour and take a look.
If he hadn't gone, he wouldn't have known that the Great Emperor Changgu had so many secrets.
There was also a relatively special place in the outer perimeter that Ye Kong had originally wanted to visit, but Lin Yaoyao directly pulled him away, preventing him from going.
She also told Ye Kong not to wander around, lest they worry about him.
To avoid worrying his disciples, Ye Kong had no choice but to obediently head towards the inner circle.
To ensure that their master went forward obediently, Lin Yaoyao and Xiao Bai stayed by his side, one on the left and one on the right.
After walking for five days straight, Ye Kong and his group barely approached the inner circle.
And now, many participants had already begun to break through the barriers, entering the inner perimeter to seize treasures.
The path that Ye Kong and his group were taking was the path that the Star River Sect disciples had taken, and the traps and checkpoints along the way had almost all been destroyed by them.
"It seems that many people have already gone in," Lin Yaoyao said, looking down at the traces on the ground.
Ahead was a dense forest without branches or green leaves, and beyond the forest, the palaces hidden in the immortal mist could be faintly seen.
The golden bricks and golden tiles reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.
Seemingly close at hand, there was actually still a long way to go.
"It's getting dark; let's not enter the dense forest today," Ye Kong said to his three disciples.
Lin Yaoyao and the others also knew the dangers of the dense forest and did not advance rashly.
They found a place outside the dense forest, lit a bonfire, sat cross-legged beside the bonfire, and closed their eyes to meditate.
Ye Kong leaned against Erha's back, closing his eyes to rest.
At night,
After waiting for all his disciples to rest, Ye Kong waved his hand and set up a formation to protect them, creating an illusion that he was still there, and then got up and left.
There were three strange places in the outer circle; he had taken his disciples to two of them, and he wanted to see the last one that his disciples didn't want to go to.
Ye Kong took one step and instantly appeared under a red wall.
On the red wall, a branch of red apricot blossoms extended over the wall.
Ye Kong easily passed through the red wall and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Ye Kong was instantly shocked.
The place where he was was a forest, a meat forest!
Tall bamboo poles were hung with all kinds of meat, and the aroma of meat filled the air; Ye Kong closed his sense of smell, not wanting to smell the odor.
"Ding-dong… ding-dong… clang… clang…" From deep within, came a series of pleasant music, drums beating and cauldrons displayed, extravagant and luxurious.
Ye Kong took a step and quickly passed through the meat forest.
In front of him, several wine pools appeared.
In the wine pools,
A group of gorgeous women, wearing white undergarments and draped in silk and satin, with graceful figures, indulged themselves in the wine pools.
The wine soaked the silk, outlining the enchanting figures of the women.
"Young master, come in and play!"
Ye Kong flew directly over the wine pool and walked inside.
While crossing the wine pool, Ye Kong also saw several disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, indulging in the wine pool, embracing left and right, enjoying themselves.
And they didn't know that their bodies had already been hung on the meat forest, and in the wine pool, only a wisp of their soul remained.
When dawn broke, they would vanish into thin air.
"Beauty is like a wolf or tiger, not to be easily approached," Ye Kong's will was firm, and he walked into the hall in front of him.
As soon as he approached, Ye Kong heard the sound of silk and bamboo instruments, as well as the laughter of women.
Ye Kong pushed open the door, and inside, the light was restrained, and the extravagance was boundless.
Silver screens and golden houses, rich delicacies and silk embroidery, surrounded by pearls and emeralds; any random pearl here could be sold for a sky-high price.
A group of enchanting women, with graceful figures and beautiful faces, danced in the hall with silk fabrics, their sleeves bare.
Ye Kong closed his eyes, not wanting to look, and walked in.
Sitting high on the treasure hall was a middle-aged man with a bloated figure, a greasy face, and cold eyes—
Great Emperor Changgu!
"Heh, no one can escape my Elysian Golden House," Great Emperor Changgu chuckled, a smile appearing on his bloated face.
In the Golden House, pink smoke filled the air, like a fairyland, and the dancing women, adorned with silk and jade, instantly surrounded Ye Kong, seducing him.
"Humans all have desires; as long as there are desires, they will fall; no one can escape!" Great Emperor Changgu said indifferently.
The dancers surrounding Ye Kong leaned closer to him, breathing into his ear and grabbing his hand.
Ye Kong pulled hard, put his hands behind his back, and stepped forward.
Any woman who stood in Ye Kong's way would dissipate as soon as Ye Kong bumped into her.
"You're right, humans all have desires, but being able to overcome desires and maintain their original intentions is what makes a cultivator!" Ye Kong walked straight to Great Emperor Changgu.
With a wave of his hand, the dancers and singers below the stage disappeared one after another.
"Great Emperor Changgu, you have fallen," Ye Kong said, forcing himself to look.
"Fallen? This is just a man's nature," Great Emperor Changgu said with a faint smile.
He clapped his hands, and the women soaking in the wine pool outside walked into the hall one after another.
The aroma of wine mixed with the scarlet smoke, turning into a potent aphrodisiac.
However, this had no effect on Ye Kong.
"You are just a projection; this place is just an illusion," Ye Kong said indifferently.
"An illusion? When you go to my palace, you will know what true enjoyment is," Great Emperor Changgu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ye Kong condensed his spiritual power in one hand and struck out.
The surrounding women quickly dissipated, and all the illusions were shattered.
And Great Emperor Changgu, seeing Ye Kong make a move, instantly released his imperial might, wanting to suppress Ye Kong, but Ye Kong was not affected at all.
"You are also an Emperor Realm powerhouse?" Great Emperor Changgu's expression changed drastically; the only people who were not affected by imperial might were Great Emperors.
Ye Kong took out the Carefree Fan and waved it, and Great Emperor Changgu slowly dissipated like wind and sand.
"I will kill you sooner or later!" Great Emperor Changgu glared at Ye Kong as he dissipated.
The illusory things here dissipated with Great Emperor Changgu.
Leaving only the magnificent Golden House, as well as the wine pool and meat forest.
Great Emperor Changgu had preserved his original memories here, as well as his Golden House.
Before Ye Kong left, he lit a fire and threw it into the wine pool, and the Golden House was also broken by Ye Kong with a punch.
"I didn't want to interfere, but I really couldn't stand it," Ye Kong looked at the destroyed Golden House and condensed a bright pearl.
He reached out and grasped it, and the pearl shattered instantly.
That pearl was the key to Great Emperor Changgu's resurrection, and now it had been destroyed by Ye Kong.
