92: Chapter 92 Taking the Energy-Gathering Pill

Although he now had a precious sword in hand, Mo Yuan was not in a hurry to step forward and help; he was waiting for an opportunity.

Seeing how insidious the two of them were, Xiao Yuchen was speechless. He had originally planned to exhaust Sect Master Mo Cheng to death, but now that was clearly not going to work.

His Energy Absorption Technique could absorb the power of heaven and earth, but a sword was a cold weapon. If Mo Yuan launched a sneak attack, it would be difficult for him to defend. Watching Mo Yuan, who was eyeing him like a tiger, looking for an opportunity to strike, Xiao Yuchen took out a low-grade power accumulation pill from his System Inventory.

This low-grade power accumulation pill was given as part of the novice gift pack, and Xiao Yuchen had never had a chance to use it until now.

The main reason was that although this power accumulation pill could double his combat power within two hours, once the time was up, he would enter a weakened state. Therefore, he didn't want to use it easily unless it was absolutely necessary.

"If you want to launch a sneak attack from behind, you'll need an opportunity." With that, Xiao Yuchen directly swallowed the power accumulation pill.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, Xiao Yuchen felt all his muscle cells frantically absorbing the medicinal power. In just two minutes, he actually transformed into a muscular man.

Feeling the surge in strength, Xiao Yuchen's lips curved slightly. He was confident he could end the battle within ten minutes.

"You... what did you eat?"

Seeing Xiao Yuchen transform into a muscular man, Sect Master Mo Cheng also became afraid. Although he had the advantage before, anyone with eyes knew that he couldn't win in a short time.

However, now that Xiao Yuchen had changed like this, he was definitely stronger than before. It would be strange if he wasn't scared.

"Your curiosity is too strong. Go ask King Yama."

Because time was limited, Xiao Yuchen didn't want to waste any. He struck a palm towards Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan's strength was already far inferior to his, and now he had no way to parry, being directly struck by Xiao Yuchen into a bloody mist.

"It seems my strength is a bit too great. Why don't you try taking a palm from me?" Xiao Yuchen said with a smile, looking at Sect Master Mo Cheng.

"This... Brother, I think there's been a misunderstanding between us. As long as you spare me, I'll do anything you ask." Sect Master Mo Cheng had lost his Battle Intent and was on the verge of kneeling before Xiao Yuchen.

"I want nothing but your death."

Xiao Yuchen struck out with another palm. Sect Master Mo Cheng frantically tried to block, but it was utterly useless. He was directly slammed to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

"It's over. Pay for the people you harmed."

As soon as his voice fell, everyone saw a hundred-zhang giant hand descend from the sky. Everyone wanted to escape, but they couldn't move an inch.

"No... don't."

Bang!

The giant palm landed, and the entire ground caved in. The surroundings returned to tranquility.

Relying on the Second Elder's memory, Xiao Yuchen went directly to the back mountain, to the very cave where Sect Master Mo Cheng had Cultivated before.

At the innermost part of the cave was a stone door. Xiao Yuchen pushed it open with force and walked in. An unpleasant odor rushed into his nostrils.

Xiao Yuchen continued deeper, and was instantly stunned by the scene inside. This was a large stone chamber with only three ventilation openings. Inside the stone chamber were four cells, and each cell held eight or nine women.

Xiao Yuchen counted them; there were thirty-five in total. It seemed Sect Master Mo Cheng had already gathered thirty people, so even if the Elders down the mountain couldn't find suitable women, it wouldn't delay his Cultivation tonight.

All these women were around twenty years old and very beautiful, which proved that Sect Master Mo Cheng was a great lecher; even for Cultivation, he chose pretty ones.

Hearing someone enter, the women in the cells all cowered in the corners, huddling together, seemingly worried about being taken away, as several sisters had already been taken and hadn't returned.

In one corner of the cell was a large pool, and on a nearby stone table were dozens of beautiful red clothes, like those worn by brides in ancient times.

"This Sect Master Mo Cheng really knows how to play. Does he want everyone to bathe and change, then hold a mass wedding, and then a mass bridal chamber ceremony?"

Xiao Yuchen wasn't in the mood to bother with this. He loudly declared, "You don't need to be afraid. The Hehuan Sect has been destroyed by me. I'm here to save you. In a moment, clean yourselves, change into new clothes, and then come with me."

"No, don't kill us! We don't want to die, please let us go."

"Brother, you don't look like a bad person. Please let us go."

...

The women, who had been calm, became even more agitated upon hearing Xiao Yuchen's words. They seemed not to believe him.

"Didn't you understand me? I'm letting you go, but you all smell, and your clothes are dirty. Do you really want to leave with me like this?" Xiao Yuchen retorted.

"Are you really not from the Hehuan Sect? Are you here to save us?" a woman asked in return.

"Are people from the Hehuan Sect as handsome as me? Besides, if I were from the Hehuan Sect, would I need to discuss it with you? I would have just used force."

Hearing Xiao Yuchen say this, the women also felt it made sense. After exchanging glances, they all knelt down to Xiao Yuchen.

"Thank you, benefactor, for saving us."

"Get up, all of you. I'll let you out."

Xiao Yuchen took out his xuanyuan sword, cut the chains of the cells, and released everyone. He then exited the cave, as he needed to dispose of the bodies.

Half an hour later, all the women emerged from the cave one after another. Seeing Xiao Yuchen, they knelt down again.

"Get up quickly. So many of you kneeling to me in bride's clothes could cause a misunderstanding. Also, there's no signal here, so I can't contact for rescue. The mountain roads are treacherous at night, so I'll take you down the mountain tomorrow morning. For now, find a place to sleep for the night."

Xiao Yuchen had his reasons for this arrangement. The power accumulation pill had a two-hour validity period, after which he would be weak for a while. If he hadn't saved these people, Xiao Yuchen could have returned home before his weakness set in.

Now, that was clearly not possible. His challenge mission was not yet complete, and he couldn't just leave these women here.

Hearing Xiao Yuchen's arrangement, the women had no objections. They collectively entered the cave to avoid the cold. Being overjoyed at their rescue, they had no intention of sleeping and chattered incessantly.

Xiao Yuchen, meanwhile, sat at the cave entrance to Cultivate. Before long, he felt his entire body grow weak. In his current state, he estimated he couldn't even withstand a single palm from a Transformation Realm Martial Artist.

Fortunately, the period of weakness wasn't long. By dawn, Xiao Yuchen's condition had recovered.

The women also woke up one after another and came out of the cave. Seeing Xiao Yuchen guarding the entrance, they all bowed in unison.

"Did you ladies sleep well last night?" Xiao Yuchen stretched, slowly standing up.

"With a gentleman like Young Master Xiao guarding us, we naturally slept well."

"Alright, I see it's getting late. Come down the mountain with me. Once we're down, I'll give each of you some money, and you can all go home, or contact your families. Please don't call the police; it's quite troublesome."

After giving his instructions, Xiao Yuchen led everyone down the mountain.

It was fine on the mountain, as there weren't many people. But once they reached the city at the foot of the mountain, Xiao Yuchen and his group immediately attracted a crowd.

At first, everyone thought it was a mass wedding, but after watching for a long time, there seemed to be only one man, which instantly made the passersby uneasy.
