Chapter 172  Trap?

The moment of truth was here…

The lunatics from the Heavenly Demon Sect haven\'t done anything so far. But, no one trusted them to act peacefully once the gates closed. After all, if they wanted to be peaceful, why would they come with such a lineup?

So, everyone was naturally worried about them.

Grotto Heavens were a unique existence in the cultivation world. They were independent spaces created by powerful cultivators. When their restrictions are broken and they are opened, there would be a small-scale disturbance in the surrounding lands.

However, the biggest disturbance would only appear when they close after the restriction had been broken. When the gates of a Grotto Heaven close, the independent space that had been sealed will gradually merge with the broader world.

Some aspects of the Grotto Heaven will remain in the independent space, while some would integrate into the surrounding space. The space around the region would not be stable for a month or so.

At this time, every living being within the Grotto Heaven will be evicted. No matter what state they would be in, everyone inside the Grotto Heaven will be sent out. Whether they be demonic beasts, cultivators, or other special existences, every living soul will be evicted.

Sometimes this would create an opportunity for people who are waiting outside. If there was some special creature that hadn\'t been seen in the world for a while, they would become the target of every faction present here.

So, the closing of a Grotto Heaven will always have some kind of struggle associated with it. This is one of the reasons for every faction to appear during the closing of the Grotto Heaven.

Right now, every cultivator was anxiously waiting to see if any kind of special creature would be sent out. Not to mention the inheritances obtained by lucky cultivators from the ruins. If someone obtains an inheritance but doesn\'t have the corresponding strength or background, then they could only obediently cough out their gains.

So, this location would also act as a place that was ideal for recruiting talented and lucky disciples who have some immortal fate. Thus, every faction in the surrounding area would be interested in situations like these.

This was one of the reasons for the righteous sects to band together and pressure the Heavenly Demon Sect. While they had succeeded initially, right now they were a little apprehensive about the Heavenly Demon Sect\'s response.

Just then, a cracking sound echoed and the gates of the Grotto Heaven shattered into million pieces. The next moment, numerous lights emitted out from the Grotto Heaven. Inside these lights were every living soul that was currently inside the Grotto Heaven.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The people inside the Grotto Heaven were evicted one after the other. They were in all kinds of states causing confusion to rage around in the area. Some were in a state of fighting, some were meditating, some were walking, and some were even simply waiting.

In the end, no one escaped from being evicted.

Just then, an enraged shout came from a group that was evicted.

"Shen Wulong, you shameless bastard! How could you be so sinister as to attack your fiancé from behind!?"

Everyone\'s attention turned toward a woman who was injured heavily. Her breathing was ragged and it was clear to everyone that the injury she sustained was really serious.

"He he he… Did you remember that I am your fiancé only now? How about the time you ambushed me with your sect members and poisoned me with Icy Nether Poison, bitch?"

Another voice scornfully retorted causing the young woman\'s face to contort in rage.

"Qing Mu, you vile bitch! You not only ambushed me, you all caused the destruction of my entire family. Why did you do this? Don\'t you know? Isn\'t this all because I had the token to open this Grotto Heaven? Isn\'t this all because of your greed? Don\'t act righteously now, bitch!"

A young man stood in the distance and cursed Qing Mu, causing everyone\'s eyes to change. Seeing the surrounding people\'s accusatory eyes, Qing Mu almost felt like bursting into flames due to shame. Her emotions surged and the injury she suffered worsened as a result.

Unable to hold on anymore, Qing Mu vomited blood from her internal injuries. Looking at a beautiful woman vomiting blood in anger, everyone\'s heart softened. However, there was one person who wasn\'t swayed.

"You are lucky that you moved at the last moment bitch. But, don\'t worry. I will finish what I started…" Shen Wulong said with a frosty look on his face and prepared to finish her off.

Everyone sucked in their breath seeing such a ruthless young man. This young man didn\'t just injure the woman but also wanted to kill her in front of so many people. How deep must the hatred between the two run?

"Senior Sister!!"

Just then a young man rushed out of the crowd towards the young woman and tried to assist her. Seeing this junior brother\'s actions, most people\'s hearts softened a bit. However, Shen Wulong wasn\'t among them.

Seeing the boy helping his fiancé up, Shen Wulong realized that this was yet another victim who had been bewitched by this bitch. It hadn\'t even been six months since she attacked me, now someone else was ready to die together with her. This only further steeled his resolve to kill his conniving ex-fiance.

Since you wanted to rush out and save that bitch at this moment, then there is no need for you to live either. I will send both you lovebirds to the afterlife together…

Shen Wulong\'s rage rose to the peak and he didn\'t bother about anything else. A large fist shadow formed in the sky and the next moment it came down on the heads of both Qing Mu and her junior brother.

Just as the fist shadow was going to pulverize the duo, a strange golden shield flickered into life and resisted the attack.

GONG!

A loud sound echoed causing everyone to shut their ears. In the distance, Shen Wulong\'s fist shadow was blocked by a golden shield that stood before Qing Mu and her junior brother.

"Shen Wulong, you wicked man, do you think it is easy to kill the disciples of Icy Nether Hall?" Qing Mu roared angrily.

The moment her voice faded, a commotion erupted amongst the cultivators present in the surroundings.

"Wait, did she say she was a disciple of Icy Nether Hall?"

"Icy Nether Hall from the Central Continent?"

"What are the people from Central Continent doing here?"

Countless discussions broke out the moment Qing Mu\'s identity was revealed. Shen Wulong\'s face became cold seeing the situation turn. He knew what kind of a status Qing Mu\'s faction had in the cultivation world. Especially, the words Central Continent was magical to cultivators in this continent.

Every cultivator in the Dragon Scale Continent yearned to reach the Central Continent. However, even though they wanted to practice there, they can\'t stand there without a big faction to support them. And Icy Nether Hall was one of the top factions of the Central Continent.

He clearly understood that there was no chance for him to kill this bitch now. People looking to curry favor would come up and protect this bitch from him once her identity was revealed.

Still, he was unwilling to let her go like this.

"Last time you took advantage of my carelessness and injured me severely. But, you don\'t have that option anymore. You can forget about harming me and my junior brother…" Qing Mu wheezed and stared at Shen Wulong fiercely.

Even though Qing Mu\'s stare was fierce, there was a calm air about her. She didn\'t look like someone who was on the verge of death mere moments ago. Her entire demeanor screamed that everything was under her control.

Looking at her state, Shen Wulong\'s eyes narrowed suddenly. His understanding of his fiancé was really at a high level. Looking at her calm face, Shen Wulong realized that there must be something wrong with the situation.

Then, his brain clicked and he figured out what was odd. According to her nature, Qing Mu would never draw attention to her while she was injured. She always maintained an indomitable façade.

But, right now, she had drawn the attention of everyone here by accusing him of attacking her from behind. This was really uncharacteristic of her. And that golden shield in front of her informed him that she was already prepared to be attacked by him.

In that case, why did she draw attention?

Shen Wulong cursed her mentally as he realized that this was trap sprung for him and he had let his emotions towards her lead him astray. What the hell was he doing here and waiting for others to gather around?

He has already obtained the inheritance from the main hall. There were several powerhouses vying for it at that moment. Right now, they were all transported outside and would be searching for him. At this moment, he should act low key and escape first.

But, here he was creating a commotion and drawing a target on himself. If not for this bitch\'s shout, he would have already escaped from here. So, this was this bitch\'s plan all along…

The moment he realized this, Shen Wulong didn\'t hesitate any second. He would have other opportunities to settle his grudge against Qing Mu. His first priority was now to escape from this place.

The next moment, Shen Wulong vanished from his spot and started escaping.
