The Trap is Set

Liu Zhihao sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the letter in his hand. He had received an invitation to a gathering of martial artists, and he knew it was a trap.

He couldn't resist the temptation, though. The opportunity to meet other cultivators and possibly gain some valuable knowledge was too great.

Liu Zhihao got dressed and set out towards the designated location. As he walked, he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. He scanned the area for any suspicious figures but found none.

He arrived at the gathering and was greeted by several other cultivators. They exchanged pleasantries, but Liu Zhihao could sense their insincerity. He knew that they were all there for the same reason he was - to set a trap.

As the night wore on, Liu Zhihao became increasingly uneasy. He felt like he was being herded towards a specific area of the venue. He tried to leave, but the other cultivators blocked his path.

Suddenly, a group of masked cultivators appeared and attacked Liu Zhihao. He was outnumbered, but he was determined to survive.

Liu Zhihao fought back with everything he had, but it was clear that he was no match for them. Just as he thought it was the end for him, a figure appeared and took out the masked cultivators with ease.

The figure approached Liu Zhihao, and he could see that it was a woman with piercing blue eyes. She introduced herself as a fellow cultivator and offered to help him.

Liu Zhihao was hesitant at first, but he knew he needed all the help he could get. Together, they fought off the remaining attackers and emerged victorious.

As they made their way out of the venue, Liu Zhihao couldn't help but feel grateful for the woman's help. But he couldn't shake the feeling that she had an ulterior motive.

He decided to keep his guard up around her, knowing that he couldn't trust anyone in this world.
