12.69% Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands / Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Trap on the Path

Chương 33: Chapter 33: The Trap on the Path

Murderous intent surged. Shen Mo instinctively sensed danger. He abruptly opened his eyes.

Facing the sword thrusting toward his throat, he dodged as if by muscle memory.

The sword grazed past his throat. Simultaneously, Shen Mo's palm ignited with a red flame.

With lightning speed, he struck Liu Yunxuan's chest with a fierce blow!

A full-force strike! Boom! Liu Yunxuan was sent flying backward.

The sword slipped from his hand. Before he even hit the ground, he spat out blood in mid-air.

The blood evaporated into steam in the high temperature, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Yunxuan was terrified, "Your... your realm?!" Shen Mo's eyes gradually focused.

Until now, he had been immersed in cultivation; the dodge and counterattack were purely muscle memory.

Now, he realized.

Using the Red Lotus Flame and mobilizing all his spiritual power, he had severely injured Liu Yunxuan with one strike.

Such power was beyond what the minor achievement stage of the Foundation Establishment realm could muster!

Shen Mo sensed his own state and found that the spiritual power lake in his dantian had expanded significantly.

"I've reached the major achievement stage of the Foundation Establishment realm!"

He was overjoyed.

Glancing at the sea of fire around him, he immediately understood why he had grown so quickly.

The sea of fire was filled with fire spirit energy liquid.

But it was now much less than when he first arrived—at least three-quarters had been consumed.

"No wonder my realm has improved so rapidly."

"Murong Yue underestimated me and the density of spiritual energy in the Qingxuan Cave."

Shen Mo's face lit up with joy. Meanwhile, Liu Yunxuan's expression was filled with sheer terror.

Before Shen Mo could act, Liu Yunxuan struggled to stand and fled.

Afraid that Shen Mo would kill him. Shen Mo sneered at his pathetic retreat.

He wouldn't kill Liu Yunxuan. Though it would be satisfying in the short term,

it would lead to a complete split between the faction led by the sect leader and Liu Yuanfeng's vice-sect leader faction.

This would not be good.

After all, even though Liu Yuanfeng had been flirting with the Divine Sword Sect, he still respected Murong Yue as the sect leader and maintained basic sect order on the surface.

Now, Shen Mo had surpassed Liu Yunxuan. In the future, Shen Mo had countless ways to deal with him, there was no rush.

"Now, I need to absorb all the fire spirit liquid here; I can't let it go to waste."

Shen Mo immediately sat down and continued cultivating.

Liu Yunxuan's appearance was just a minor interruption.

It didn't cause any significant disturbance. Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, two months had flown by.

Shen Mo had absorbed all the fire spirit energy liquid gathered by the Red Lotus Flame.

The temperature here had significantly decreased. Shen Mo's realm hadn't increased further.

But he could feel that he had thoroughly stabilized his major achievement stage in the Foundation Establishment realm.

After leaving the Qingxuan Cave, even by accelerating his cultivation with Stabilizing Pills, it would take at most three months to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm.

"It's time to leave."

Shen Mo took out a new inner disciple robe from his storage ring, put it on, and walked toward the entrance with large strides.

He had calculated the time precisely. At full speed, it would take him only five days to return to the entrance.

Worried about unexpected events, like interference from Liu Yunxuan or Song Junjie, he had ended his cultivation a day early.

"Liu Yunxuan is seriously injured by me, and part of the Red Lotus Flame's power is still in his body. Even if he has some healing treasures, he can't recover quickly."

"He's currently at less than thirty percent of his peak strength."

"As for Song Junjie, he entered the Qingxuan Cave at the beginning stage of the Foundation Establishment realm, and now at most, he's at the small achievement stage, posing no threat to me."

Shen Mo pondered for a moment and opened his life panel.

Although he believed he could easily handle any interference from Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie, he checked the life panel to ensure nothing went wrong.

[Name: Shen Mo]

[Realm: major Achievement Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm]

[Fate: Son of a Pharmacist, Innate Wisdom, Sword Enthusiast, Slightly Lucky, Fiery Sun Flame Body]

[Destiny: Ultimately cultivates to the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm. Forty years later, feeling too lonely in the Qingxuan Cave, he commits suicide.]

[Recent Turning Point: Today, while heading towards the Qingxuan Cave entrance, you fall into Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie's poisoned crossbow trap at the entrance of the fourth deep cave. Your leg is severely injured, and you fail to reach the Qingxuan Cave entrance on time, becoming trapped within the cave.]

A flicker of realization flashed in Shen Mo's eyes.

It was a trap. At first, he thought those two would ambush him on his way back to the entrance.

"But now that I know the location of the trap, it won't be difficult to dismantle it."

Shen Mo smiled confidently and continued on his original path.

Before long, he arrived at the entrance of the fourth deep cave.

Upon closer inspection, he indeed found several very fine, almost imperceptible threads on the ground.

The threads extended far into the rocks on both sides. Shen Mo took a knife from his storage ring and threw it from a distance.

The knife fell onto the threads. The threads snapped.

Immediately, crossbow bolts as thick as a baby's arm were launched from the rocks on both sides.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two bolts were incredibly sharp, piercing deeply into the ground.

Shen Mo glanced around and noticed a faint green hue on the bolts.

They were indeed poisoned.

Moreover, he observed that the poison on the arrowheads was quite special, not only highly lethal but also capable of penetrating a cultivator's spiritual power.

Shen Mo's eyes gleamed. Previously, Murong Yue had given him a handwritten book.

It detailed the Qingxuan Sect's situation, its allies, and enemies.

It also elaborated on the Five Sects of the Xuanjing River.

One of these sects was named the Verdant Vine Sect.

The Verdant Vine Sect was renowned for its use of poison.

Furthermore, in the Verdant Vine Sect's territory, there was a unique plant called the "Spirit-Breaking Flower," whose venom could directly penetrate spiritual power.

They applied this venom to various weapons, including these arrowheads.

"It seems that Song Chaofeng has the backing of the Verdant Vine Sect." Shen Mo chuckled.

Cautiously, he took another weapon and threw it from a distance.

After confirming there were no more crossbow bolts, he carefully crossed the area. Before leaving, he conveniently stored the two crossbows and bolts into his storage ring.

At the entrance of the Qingxuan Cave.

Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie sat cross-legged, quietly waiting for the cave to open.

They had already exchanged information. Song Junjie had long known that Shen Mo had subdued the Red Lotus Flame.

Initially, he had thought about confronting Shen Mo to see if he could snatch the Red Lotus Flame.

But after learning about Liu Yunxuan's injuries, he immediately dismissed the idea.

Liu Yunxuan's chest was still bandaged. With each breath, the bandage was stained with blood.

Clearly, his condition was not optimistic.

Every time Song Junjie saw Liu Yunxuan in such a state, he couldn't help but feel a chill.

Because he knew very well that Liu Yunxuan's strength far exceeded his own.

The fact that Shen Mo, who had subdued the Red Lotus Flame, possessed such formidable power, indicated that Song Junjie was no match for him.

At this moment, Liu Yunxuan's face had a sickly red hue.

"By my calculations, that guy should be passing by the entrance of the fourth deep cave soon," he sneered.

Song Junjie nodded, "Indeed."

"Junjie, are you sure the crossbow bolts are set up correctly? And those threads, won't Shen Mo detect them?" Liu Yunxuan asked.

Song Junjie waved his hand, "Don't worry about that. Those crossbow bolts are powerful weapons my father bought from the Verdant Vine Sect."

"A few crossbows firing in unison are enough to shatter the protective spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment great achievement cultivator."

"Moreover, the bolts are coated with the Verdant Vine Sect's Bone-Corroding Poison, for which only they have the antidote."

"As for the threads…"

Song Junjie chuckled, "They're made from the silk of a century-old ice silkworm my father acquired. Even if you get within three feet, you can't see them."

Liu Yunxuan nodded heavily upon hearing this. The arrangement was indeed very thorough.

Shen Mo would definitely be hit by the bolts and would not be able to return to the entrance of the Qingxuan Cave on time.

"What good is subduing an eternal flame, having a heavenly constitution, or a perfect Dao foundation, if you're trapped in the Qingxuan Cave for fifty years? Any genius would end up lonely enough to commit suicide!"

Liu Yunxuan sneered inwardly.

Click, clack, click, clack.

At that moment, footsteps echoed from a distance. Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie's expressions changed abruptly.

Chương 34: Chapter 34: Do I Need a Reason to Leave Qingxuan Cave

The two of them immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

They were stunned to see a familiar figure. Their expressions froze.

How did he get to the entrance of Qingxuan Cave? Liu Yunxuan immediately glared at Song Junjie.

'Didn't you say your trap was foolproof?'

'Didn't you say that the protective spiritual power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator could be easily shattered?'

Song Junjie was equally dumbfounded. What the hell is going on?!

Shen Mo looked at their bewildered faces and smiled, "What's the matter, gentlemen? Aren't you happy to see me?"

Without waiting for a response, he continued, "Actually, I understand. Seeing me must indeed be disappointing for you."

"You..." Song Junjie hesitated.

Setting traps wasn't exactly a noble act, and he was too embarrassed to speak directly.

Shen Mo smiled, "Want to know how I avoided your trap?"

Song Junjie instinctively nodded.

Shen Mo chuckled, "Your trap was so easy to spot that anyone could avoid it."

Song Junjie was flustered. 'Am I really that bad?'

Can't even set up a proper trap?

Seeing Song Junjie's reflexive acknowledgment, Liu Yunxuan shook his head in frustration.

This idiot. He just sold himself out with one sentence.

Shen Mo's voice grew colder, "Song Junjie, setting traps to harm a sect master's disciple—what do you think your punishment should be?"

Song Junjie's heart trembled. He knew he was in the wrong.

Moreover, Shen Mo's strength far surpassed his.

With Liu Yunxuan already having suffered a defeat, he dared not confront Shen Mo either.

Faced with Shen Mo's questioning, he stood there, frozen, unable to utter a word.

Shen Mo sneered. This person had clearly lost all will to fight.

"Don't get too cocky. Don't think that just because you're the sect master's disciple, no one will dare touch you," Liu Yunxuan said ominously.

Shen Mo walked up to him and, without waiting for him to spew more threats, slapped him hard.

Smack!

Liu Yunxuan's handsome left cheek instantly swelled up, a bright red handprint appearing.

Liu Yunxuan was shocked. The burning sensation on his cheek told him he had indeed been slapped.

"You...!" He was instantly furious. Even his father had never hit him like this!

Shen Mo smiled and slapped him again on the right cheek.

Smack! Another crisp sound echoed.

Another bright red handprint appeared. Liu Yunxuan was furious, trying to stand up and fight back.

Shen Mo lifted his leg and kicked him over, then stomped hard on his chest, right on his previous wound.

Liu Yunxuan screamed in pain. The wound from the Red Lotus Flame had yet to heal.

Now, Shen Mo's stomp made it tear open even more.

"How dare you do this to me? My father won't..." Liu Yunxuan roared.

Smack!

Another slap.

"My father..."

Smack!

This time on the right cheek.

"I..."

Smack!

This time he slapped both cheeks.

Liu Yunxuan, filled with anger but not daring to speak, covered his right cheek, glaring at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo smiled and slapped him again.

Liu Yunxuan was enraged, "I didn't even say anything...!"

"Do I need a reason to slap you?" Shen Mo's smile grew brighter.

But to Liu Yunxuan, this smile was sinister and terrifying, like that of a demon.

He looked to Song Junjie behind Shen Mo for help.

But saw that Song Junjie had shrunk into a corner like a frightened chick, not daring to look at them.

As if everything had nothing to do with him. As if the crisp sounds of slaps were just background music.

Liu Yunxuan was in despair. This idiot was not only stupid but also cowardly.

At that moment, the blue flames at the entrance of the Qingxuan Cave began to quiver.

The temperature of the flames gradually decreased, and the color began to fade.

Liu Yunxuan and Song Junjie became excited. They could finally leave!

I don't want to stay in the Qingxuan Cave any longer.

"Let me out now!"

On the other side, just outside the cave entrance.

Murong Yue, Liu Yuanfeng, and Song Chaofeng stood there, channeling their spiritual power into the flame barrier of the Qingxuan Cave.

Further outside, there were nine inner sect elders, dozens of outer sect elders, many stewards, and both inner and outer sect disciples.

Zhao Ting and Luo Shengnan, two direct disciples, had hurried back to the mountain gate after dealing with their family affairs.

They regretted missing the opening of the Qingxuan Cave.

Now, with the cave about to reopen, they naturally came to see what changes had occurred in those three.

Luo Shengnan eyed Zhao Ting, who wore her loose disciple robe like a tight outfit, and licked her lips, "Zhao Ting, I heard that the Qingxuan Cave opened early this time because a great treasure might have appeared."

"Who do you think is most likely to obtain the treasure, Shen Mo, Liu Yunxuan, or Song Junjie?"

Zhao Ting's gaze was calm, "First of all, Song Junjie is out of the question. He's just an arrogant idiot relying on his father, the Grand Elder."

"Although Shen Mo has great potential, his strength is slightly inferior to Liu Yunxuan's."

"If Shen Mo gets the treasure first, it might be taken by Liu Yunxuan."

"If Liu Yunxuan gets the treasure, Shen Mo won't be able to take it from him."

"So, I still favor Liu Yunxuan."

Luo Shengnan chuckled, "I don't think so. I find Shen Mo quite interesting. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us."

Then she looked at Zhao Ting's younger sister, Zhao Rou, "What do you think, little sister?"

Zhao Rou said firmly, "I believe in Shen Mo!"

Among the inner sect disciples, another pair attracted attention.

The man was handsome, the woman beautiful.

They were Xiao Fan and Liu Fei.

Liu Fei clung to Xiao Fan's arm, her head resting on his shoulder, whispering, "Brother Xiao Fan, my father said that the eternal flame will definitely be obtained by my brother, and Shen Mo will most likely be left in the Qingxuan Cave."

Xiao Fan sneered, "He deserves it."

"He's completely blind to the current situation in the Qingxuan Sect."

"Murong Yue is not a reliable backer; the Vice Sect Master and the Grand Elder are."

"He dared to offend both the Vice Sect Master and the Grand Elder. It's a miracle he hasn't been secretly killed."

Liu Fei caressed his chest intimately, "Brother Xiao Fan will be much happier without him around."

Xiao Fan smiled, "Of course, my mood is already great!"

He grabbed Liu Fei's fair wrist, whispering in her ear, "How about we go to the back mountain pond tonight and try some water play?"

Liu Fei blushed, whispering like a mosquito, "Okay."

At that moment, the blue flames at the entrance of the Qingxuan Cave rapidly dimmed.

Everyone perked up, looking towards the entrance.

Murong Yue glanced at Liu Yuanfeng and Song Chaofeng, seeing their confident expressions, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, after being the sect leader for decades, she had grown a lot and was no longer the young girl in her forties.

No matter how anxious she felt, she wouldn't show it.

"Shen Mo... please be safe," Murong Yue prayed in her heart.

Then, footsteps were heard from the entrance.

Song Junjie rushed out as if escaping.

Seeing his father standing there, he ran straight to his side, as if a terrifying beast were chasing him.

Song Chaofeng was initially pleased, but seeing his son's expression, he frowned.

However, this was a public setting, so he didn't ask much, merely holding Song Junjie's hand to reassure him.

More footsteps followed.

This time it was Liu Yunxuan.

Liu Yunxuan's handsome face was severely swollen, looking like dough.

He was wrapped in bandages, which were dripping blood onto the ground.

Seeing Liu Yunxuan in such a miserable state, everyone present was shocked.

What exactly happened in the Qingxuan Cave?
