‘They really are overdoing it with the women here… Is this a dual cultivation sect or something?’

Zhang Dong had arrived at the large pagoda tower that was much larger on the inside. There he could see various young and old cultivators running around. The number of female figures was overshadowing the male ones. It also seemed that most of the people in higher places were men of advanced ages.

‘Or are they just taking me to a place filled with women…’

Within a few moments of floating after the young man, he was led to a strange chamber. It was filled with comfy beds and the atmosphere was very flowery. He expected to see more women but besides one old lady and the young man that brought him there, it was empty.

“Is this the person?”

“Greeting great demon, I’m afraid that I’m not Elder Tong but he will be here soon, why don’t you relax and take in the glorious sights instead?”

“The, sights?”

He wasn’t sure what the old woman was talking about but the young man closed the door instead of entering the room. Was this finally the trap that they were planning to spring after getting him here? There were several illusory formations that were at a surprisingly high level but not something that he wouldn’t be able to figure out.

Even now he felt that he was in control of the situation. Without being sure that they were trying to attack him it wouldn’t be wise to lash out. For the time being everyone was bowing and being cordial. Even now the old lady was inviting him for some kind of show.

“Yes my lord, this is a very special chamber all of your deepest desires can be fulfilled here. Please don’t worry about damaging the spirit constructs.”

“Spirit constructs?”

Without elaborating further the old woman’s silhouette started becoming blurry. Her voice started to be distant and the whole place became a haze. At least that’s what a normal person would be able to distinguish if they only used their normal five senses. Zhang Dong could clearly see the old lady leaving the room even when being clouded within the illusions.

‘Hm… are they trying to stall me in an illusion or something?’

The area started turning into some kind of landscape, in a moment the entire place got bright. When looking up he could see the blue sky forming along with a few clouds and bright warm sun. This was quite the powerful illusion as all the sensations were there. The feeling of the hot sun on his face and the gentle wind blowing against his long white hair.

When looking down to the ground he spotted a sandy beach with a whole sea behind it. The palm trees were swishing around and even a few coconuts fell down as some kind of exotic island was formed.

‘Is this image coming from my mind…’

After the formation was initiated he felt that some kind of spell took effect. It connected with his mind and took something out. The process wasn’t dangerous and no critical information was stolen. It was as if the formation was trying to extract something from his mind but that’s all it could do. It wasn’t powerful enough to actually perform any mind control on someone of his caliber.

‘Wait… was that a laugh?’

The longer the illusion lasted the more details were added, soon he started hearing some kind of cute chuckle. When he turned towards the noise his eyes were greeted by quite the spectacle. A large number of curvy ladies in swimsuits were slowly jogging toward him. Their shapely chests continued to bounce in various directions as they made their way toward him.

‘Is this that kind of formation? Maybe I do need to examine it a bit further, I’m not in that much of a rush…’

There were ten women coming his way. Their swimsuits varied in shapes and sizes but each one was barely containing those curvaceous shapes. It was a miracle that nothing slipped out with all the gyrating and shaking action that the ladies were performing. Their faces contained pure joy and they were cleary waving towards him while boncing up and down.

‘I certainly do have a type… or did being with Liena affect it…’

There were a few characteristics that these ladies shared with each other. All of them had a darker skin tone that varied slightly. Along with the caramel skin they also had a lighter hair color. It ranged from light pink all the way to pure white, their eye color was also most of the blue or green variety. Then there were of course the large bouncy chests that made it hard not to stare.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

‘So this is what that woman meant by spirit construct.’

While these ladies looked real, they were nothing more than figments of his imagination. He had never left the room that he entered. With his enhanced eyes he could clearly tell that these were just clumps of Qi that simulated real humans. The formation read his mind to create partners that would suit his tastes and they were quite life-like.

“These do feel like the real thing…’

Zhang Dong reached out with his hand after the women finally arrived. His hand didn’t move to any of the bouncy parts, instead, he just lifted a big of those white locks. The texture was quite similar but it could not fool someone with enhanced senses like him.

“Spin around?”

An order was given and the girl started twirling around in one spot without getting dizzy. It seemed that they were able to perform simple commands but would not stop without another one. The clump of Qi that looked like beauty just continued to twirl and only stopped when he called out once again.

“That’s enough, stop… Gramps would love this…”

It would have been nice to visit a place like this before he created a family. Even though these weren’t real people it felt strange. Then there was also the situation he was in. This was a demonic sect and someone could be watching.

“A shame… they even started hula dancing and there is a tiki bar…”

Some new girls appeared, they were wearing leaf skirts and flower necklaces. They started dancing around to something that resembled Hawaiian music. The formation was trying to get to his memories and it was surprisingly able to pull out things from his original life.

‘This formation is dangerous, it lowers the person’s mind blocks by serving them erotic fantasies. Does this sect pull out information from people this way?’

He had to admit that this was one way to gather information from people. Most of what the formation pulled out was something he allowed to be taken. Nothing to his real identity had been unearthed yet. However the more he looked at the bouncy women and the more they tried hugging him, the harder this became. It was clear that this was the intended effect, lower the target's defenses and take from them.

‘The longer I stay here, the harder it will be to keep my mind protected…’

The girls that were here were hard not to look at. It was the perfect harem of maidens that most men would not be able to resist. Yet he needed to see the bigger picture, they were keeping him here for a reason. Perhaps his cover was actually blown and Wang Long was speeding to this location to attack him. There was no time to indulge with the busty babes, he needed to cut this illusion down.

“Enough, I have not come for this! My patience is at an end…”

Thus he turned back into the fearsome cultivator uncle that people here should be afraid off. With a spike in his cultivation, he slashed out with his finger. A gash in this fake world appeared that started spreading in all directions. The women, the island and everything around it turned white before disappearing. In just a second he was back in the same room with no one there.

“Come out, I know you are there.”

He looked towards the wall where normally no opening could be seen. It was another illusion, behind it was the old woman that greeted him. After the fake island appeared this person started meditating. She was probably responsible for keeping this place going. She might also have been forwarding information to the person in charge.

“S-senior, this…”

“Stop wasting my time, I have not come here to be entertained, why are you making me wait? Is there a reason for it? … “

“P-please I was just following orders…”

“So, your Patriarch intends to go against me, is that it?”

“Lord, that’s n-not…”

“Silence, I had enough of you, either bring out that Tong fellow or…”

His act had to continue, this was the last straw that usually broke the camel's back. The person he was simulating would have been enraged. He had been withheld what he wanted for an hour now. Instead of being greeted by the Tong character he was given this world's version of porn. There was something not right here, either they were really trying to pull a fast one on him or there was another problem.

‘Why are they making me jump through all these hoops, just give me the information and I’d be gone…’

Zhang Dong didn’t understand why the other side was risking a fight between two nascent soul masters. Did he masquerading as a middle-stage realm master give the other person enough reason to make an attack? Normally they would be skeptical, it wouldn’t be strange for someone to hide their full potential. Thus he was weary now, in his hand a black blade with an evil aura appeared.

“W-what?”

“Do you think I was born yesterday? You won’t be able to fool this… uh…”

The old woman staggered back while he raised his sword. He was still trying to intimidate his way out of everything but there was a problem. There was still no name to associate with his new persona as he had been interrupted during his deliberation. Lei Yinglo's name was already well known as a demon hunter so he couldn’t use it.

“Fool this… this Hai Ding!”

He pointed his sword towards the shaking old woman while finally coming up with a new name on short notice. Only after blurting it out did he realize just how silly it was. From Lei Yinglo to Hai Ding. It was truly a masterpiece of stupidity that he had to go with now as more people started appearing and trying to appease his anger.

“Lord Hai Ding, please the Patriarch was just trying to …”

‘I guess it’s fine…’

“Trying what? You can’t fool me, you were trying to affect my memories and squeeze information out of this Hai Ding, either get Tong here or receive this blade!”

His cultivation expanded causing the various protective formations to be activated. He was in enemy territory but he did not feel anyone that could threaten him in battle. Perhaps after some roughhousing, he would get the info that he desired…
