Chapter 112: What Will Ultimately Become of the Seven Sisters?

“Hahaha, I entered the sect before you all, so of course you wouldn’t know.”
“Besides, I am still your senior disciple brother. Earlier, it was just some underlings being ignorant. Junior sister, please don’t take it to heart!”

Siteng Deng smiled faintly. Though his tone was polite, his eyes were filled with malice.

Upon hearing this, Long Tianjiao fell into silence.

No wonder even the senior sister didn’t know about Siteng Deng’s existence. His identity as the senior disciple brother was hidden very deeply.

“Siteng Deng, once the Long family finds out you were involved in this matter, they will never let you go.”

“Do you really think the Long family will pin the blame on Chu Tian and never uncover the truth?”

Long Tianjiao narrowed her eyes, issuing a thinly veiled threat.

“That’s an order from our master. I dare not disobey.”

Siteng Deng’s smile faded. Whether it was Wu Xingyan or the Jinling Long family, both were people he dared not offend.

“Don’t mention that man to me—he’s not my master!”

Long Tianjiao’s expression darkened, her gaze filled with disgust.

“Fine, I won’t mention his name. Let’s do something more interesting then!”

Siteng Deng smiled meaningfully, his gaze already fixed on Long Tianjiao’s exposed chest.

Earlier, the middle-aged man had torn Long Tianjiao’s shirt, leaving a large area of her chest bare and drawing all eyes.

Siteng Deng’s smile deepened as he slowly approached Long Tianjiao.

“What do you want? Get out!”

Long Tianjiao’s face was full of disgust, and unease welled up in her heart.

“I’m staying to finish what that man started!”

Siteng Deng’s smile grew wider as he actually raised a hand to touch Long Tianjiao’s cheek.

Instantly, Long Tianjiao’s heart jolted, and she instinctively tried to dodge.

But her body was restrained in the chair; even if she tilted her head back, she couldn’t escape.

Siteng Deng’s large hand finally settled on Long Tianjiao’s cheek, delicately feeling the softness of her skin.

Long Tianjiao’s face turned cold. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and bit Siteng Deng’s wrist hard.

However, Siteng Deng reacted faster. The next moment, he withdrew his hand and slapped Long Tianjiao across the face.

Smack!

A red mark instantly appeared on Long Tianjiao’s cheek, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“Don’t think that because master forbids me from touching you, I’m really powerless against you!”

Siteng Deng’s expression darkened. He grabbed Long Tianjiao’s chin and forced her face up.

Long Tianjiao said nothing, only staring coldly at Siteng Deng.

“If you behaved obediently, I wouldn’t want to hit you.”

“After all, such a beautiful face—what a pity it would be if I ruined it!”

Siteng Deng’s face suddenly relaxed, reverting to a frivolous demeanor.

He released Long Tianjiao’s chin and gently brushed his hand over her profile, tracing the fresh slap mark as he carefully felt the delicate skin beneath.

At this moment, Long Tianjiao gritted her teeth tightly. She knew she was no match for Siteng Deng, but that didn’t mean she would surrender.

“What exactly do you want?”

Long Tianjiao turned her head, avoiding his touch again.

Siteng Deng withdrew his hand, then brushed aside a lock of Long Tianjiao’s hair, tucking it behind her ear before speaking slowly.

“I just don’t understand why you can accept Chu Tian, but not me?”

Siteng Deng’s face darkened, genuinely puzzled.

“Siteng Deng, you want to know the reason?”

“Fine, I’ll tell you—you will never be better than Chu Tian!”

Long Tianjiao spat directly on Siteng Deng.

Surprisingly, Siteng Deng didn’t get angry; instead, he smiled faintly.

“Master’s patience has limits. Even if Chu Tian hasn’t taken from your bodies yet, it doesn’t mean you’ll be safe forever.”

“If Chu Tian exceeds master’s patience, master will no longer tolerate him.”

“At that time, master might kill him outright, even devour his Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, and then personally take from the seven sisters.”

Siteng Deng sneered cruelly.

Long Tianjiao’s face turned pale with shock.

She knew Wu Xingyan was capable of such things. When that time came, Wu Xingyan wouldn’t even bother nurturing the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart.

As for the seven sisters, they would be utterly at Wu Xingyan’s mercy, becoming nothing more than his prey.

“Enough. Stay here alone. Once master takes Long Sihai’s head, I’ll come back.”

Siteng Deng turned and left the stone chamber.

Night fell over Jinling City, in the western suburbs.

Wang Jiulong drove to the mountain outskirts and followed Chu Tian as he got out of the car.

At the foot of the mountain, a BMW was parked, now empty.

The car looked expensive, standing out starkly against the desolate surroundings.

Clearly, the owner of this car was the prime suspect in the abduction of the fifth senior sister.

“Jiulong, stay here. I’ll go up and take a look.”

Chu Tian waved and headed straight for the mountaintop.

Wang Jiulong could only stand guard by the car, watching Chu Tian’s figure disappear into the distance.

Twenty minutes later, Chu Tian reached the summit.

At the center stood a huge boulder, about three meters tall, looking somewhat out of place amidst the barren surroundings.

Although the Devouring Heaven Demon Technique could track the fifth senior sister’s aura, the trail seemed to vanish here. But seeing the BMW below, Chu Tian was certain she was somewhere on the mountain.

He circled the summit several times but found nothing, growing increasingly anxious.

Suddenly, his gaze fell on the massive boulder.

It was about three meters high and quite conspicuous.

Chu Tian recalled the ancient temple on Mount Tai Chi.

There, a secret chamber was hidden beneath the temple. Could there be a similar mechanism beneath this boulder?

With this thought, he approached the rock.

Raising his hand, Chu Tian gently tapped its surface.

The boulder was heavy and solid—not fake.

He had thought it might be an artificial formation, but it was clearly natural.

He circled the boulder again, then looked down at the ground.

Thump! Thump!

Chu Tian lightly stepped on the earth.

Instead of a muffled sound, an ethereal echo came from beneath—the ground below was hollow.

But how was this possible?

Had someone hollowed out the entire mountain?

Chu Tian placed his palm on the boulder and pushed with force. The massive rock shifted smoothly, revealing a tunnel leading into the mountain’s interior.

Staring into the narrow, dark passageway, Chu Tian’s heart trembled.

Who had undertaken such an enormous project? Was his fifth senior sister, Long Tianjiao, really inside?
