Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The Poisonous Woman

"This is all of my belongings, please accept them, Senior Brother Lin Chen."

The scar-faced man also took out all his belongings with a bleeding heart, knowing that it was still better than losing his life.

"Old Third, oh Old Third, just rest in peace. With that mouth of yours, if you don’t die, we’d all have to follow you in death."

The scar-faced man and the man in green silently mourned in their hearts.

"At least you know your place."

Lin Chen looked at the treasures spread out before him and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

There’s a saying, ’You don’t hit a smiling face.’ Since these two fellows had offered up all their possessions and even killed the companion who insulted me, it would be somewhat unreasonable for Lin Chen to attack them now.

With this thought, Lin Chen waved his hand magnanimously, collecting the spirit stones, elixirs, and treasures into his spatial ring.

As he was putting the treasures away, Lin Chen scanned each one with his Divine Sense and didn’t notice anything amiss.

Considering the strength Lin Chen had just displayed, these two men had no ill intentions and wouldn’t dare to confront him.

Seeing Lin Chen accept the treasures, the two men not only didn’t feel heartache, but they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, the Trial Tower emitted a bright light, shining upon the four of them.

Lin Chen looked up slightly, feeling that above him, the formations within the Trial Tower were activating, signaling that they were about to advance to the second layer of the Trial Tower.

"Senior Brother Lin Chen, we have experience with this, we are about to enter the next layer of the Trial Tower."

Seeing Lin Chen look up at the Trial Tower, the scar-faced man thought that perhaps Lin Chen was inexperienced with the Tower, so he immediately came forward to show loyalty and emphasized that they weren’t new to the Trial Tower. By doing so, he hoped to demonstrate their potential usefulness, greatly increasing the chance that Lin Chen would not strike against them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen said nothing and turned his gaze to Qiu Ya at his side.

"The next challenge might be even more dangerous, stay close to me."

Upon hearing his words, both the scar-faced man and the man in green exchanged knowing smiles.

As men, they naturally understood.

Lin Chen wanted to ensure the safety of Qiu Ya because he discovered in Qiu Ya a potential physique that had yet to awaken. Once awakened, her strength would skyrocket. If Lin Chen showed favor toward her and made an alliance, bringing her under his command in the future would be a significant addition to the Jade Cauldron Sect.

"Mm-hmm."

Qiu Ya blushed slightly after hearing Lin Chen’s words, nodding like a pecking chicken, and moved closer to him right away.

In her heart, she harbored the same thoughts as the two men.

After all, she had some confidence in her own beauty, and over time, not a few men had shown her affection, but she hadn’t been interested in romantic relationships.

Qiu Ya had a mission of her own, with her clan waiting for her to save them. She had ventured into the Eastern Domain and joined the Formation Sect, vowing to make a name for herself—where would she find the time for admirers?

But now the circumstances had changed; she seemed to have been won over by Lin Chen’s power.

As a flash of Spiritual Light flickered, the four of them appeared in the second layer of the Trial Tower.

This second layer looked exactly like the previous First Layer in both appearance and size; the only difference was that the Spiritual Energy in the space was more than double in density compared to the First Layer.

If one were to cultivate here, the effects would likely be twice as beneficial.

"We can’t cultivate here since the Spiritual Puppets will appear shortly, and after we defeat them, we’ll be transmitted to the third layer of the Trial Tower."

Seeing what Lin Chen had in mind, the man in green explained immediately.

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, understanding that his plan to cultivate here was not going to work out.

Whoosh whoosh—

At this moment, the Trial Tower once again experienced fluctuations in Spiritual Power, and a soft glow appeared on the wall ahead. Everyone became more solemn, ready to confront the Spiritual Puppets.

The strongest Spiritual Puppets within the First Layer of the Trial Tower were of the Ninth Level of the Heaven-reaching Realm, which meant that the Spiritual Puppets in this second layer would surely be even more formidable.

However, when the soft light faded, what appeared in front of them were not Spiritual Puppets but four silhouettes.

Three men and one woman, and all four had the same level of cultivation - at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-reaching Realm. The woman stood in the center of the three men, who seemed to take her lead.

The woman, with her raven black hair and scant clothing, was followed by the three men who blatantly leered at her, eyeing her body and sneaking glances at her buttocks from behind.

The woman seemed to be aware of the men’s actions as well, but far from being angry, she instead swayed her hips, allowing the three men behind her to enjoy the view.

"We’ve come across Martial Artists, this wasn’t the case before. Forming a team and entering the Trial Tower, we shouldn’t encounter other teams."

"Could it be because of the Tower’s change this time?"

"These four are the Black Widow and her suitors!"

Seeing the arrival of the four, the scar-faced man’s expression stiffened as he wondered why they encountered other Martial Artists, immediately revealing their identities.

"Be careful, Senior Brother Lin Chen, these four are even more cunning than we three brothers, especially that Black Widow. Despite her seductive appearance, she’s incredibly vicious at heart. To date, no fewer than nine hundred of her admirers have died by her hands, all of whom were talented Heavenly Prides."

"Yet despite this, there are still Martial Artists who relentlessly pursue her, serving her and even risking their lives for her."

The scar-faced man’s words painted a clear picture of the situation and also served as a reminder for Lin Chen not to be distracted by lust.

After all, if Lin Chen were also to fall for the Black Widow, they could hardly avoid being involved, because those who encounter the Black Widow either fall at her feet or end up dead.

Hearing the words of the scar-faced man, Lin Chen felt rather speechless. Did he really seem like the sort of man who’d be rooted to the spot at the sight of a woman?

"Oh my, we’ve come across other Martial Artists and three men, no less. How nice, how nice."

"Back on the First Layer, we lost a useless piece of trash, and now there’s an excellent replacement."

As the Black Widow swayed her hips, her gaze fell on Lin Chen and the scar-faced and green-clothed men. She covered her mouth with her small hand clad in black silk gloves and laughed, her voice sultry enough to make her three followers’ hearts bloom with adoration and a deliriously smitten expression.
