Moreover, the ransom was for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
“If that’s the case, then whether we should pay such an exorbitant ransom is the question. The minimum is five thousand premium grade Spirit Stones. We have so many Nascent Soul Ancestors captured after all, and I fear it would deplete our entire treasure stock of premium grade Spirit Stones.”
“Yes, without premium grade Spirit Stones, we can’t activate our teleportation arrays, Fourth Stage flying boats, and so forth.”
“Foolish, those treasures are trivial. The Nascent Soul Ancestors are the most important. If we lose their protection, we wouldn’t be able to hold onto such vast territories.”
Not to mention the potential confrontations with other human power forces, the threats from the Sea Clan, and the beasts. Without the deterrence of the Nascent Soul cultivator, we can’t protect so many islands. It would undoubtedly lead to a lot of casualties.”
“Yes, if we don’t pay the ransom and the other Nascent Soul forces do, we will lose many Nascent Souls in our sect, our islands, and sea areas will surely be seized. Even our entire sect might be annihilated.”
“That bastard has got us cornered, knowing we can’t abandon our clan, allowing him to act so brazenly.”
“If you don’t pay up, someone else will.”
“Stop talking nonsense and hurry back to our sect to bring a ton of treasures. The sooner we pay the ransom, the sooner our Nascent Soul Ancestors will be released.”
“If this guy changes his mind, our ancestors are doomed.”
The cultivators were helpless.
Their hearts ached with the loss of such a massive amount of their treasures.
It was like drawing blood from their bodies and cutting away their flesh.
And yet, they were obligated to pay up.
The stake of their own survival was on the line.
…
At this moment, Zhou Sui’s focus was on the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, Ye Feirou.
After all, the Creation Jade Dew Water was still with her. He had to figure out a way to get it.
This matter was related to his Nascent Soul and even his progression in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
He couldn’t afford to deal with it carelessly.
“Friend Ye.”
At this time, Zhou Sui suddenly transmitted his Divine Consciousness to Ye Feirou.
Simultaneously, he silently cast the Offspring-worm of the Obsession Gu on Ye Feirou.
An Obsession Gu Offspring turned into a trace of breath, instantly entering Ye Feirou’s body.
But Ye Feirou didn’t feel anything at all.
Obsession Gu had advanced to the lower realm of the Fifth Stage with its power and speed greatly increased, far exceeding what it was before.
“Who are you?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feirou was startled, but considering she was a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator who had lived for over seven hundred years, she quickly composed herself.
She figured out that the owner of this voice was the mastermind behind these Divinity ruins.
But unexpectedly, upon hearing this voice, she felt an inexplicable fondness, as if she was talking to an old friend.
“You can call me Master Mu.”
Zhou Sui said a fake name offhandedly. After all, he couldn’t reveal his real name. Otherwise, he would have to stay on the island until he achieved Divinity Transformation before he could leave.
“Master Mu, what exactly do you want to do?”
Ye Feirou’s eyes flickered as she tried to figure out the origin of this name, but she couldn’t recall any famed Nascent Soul cultivator from the Canglan Sea with such a name.
Of course, this name could be false, so it would be normal for her not to recognize it.
“I want your help with my cultivation.”
Zhou Sui said straightforwardly.
What?!
This damn man, he really dared to say that aloud.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feirou’s beautiful eyes revealed a hint of anger. She clenched her fists; it was utterly clear that he was harassing her and coveting her vast Yin Force.
She knew all too well that there were no good men in this world.
But she never expected that this Master Mu was also of the same ilk.
If it were possible to locate his real body, she would slap him on sight.
She was the Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace and a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. How could he think he could covet her so easily?
Doubtless, many men had attempted to covet her, only to be dumped by her into the bottom of the sea.
She wouldn’t mind adding Master Mu to that list.
“What if I refuse?”
Ye Feirou’s face was frosty, and a deep murderous aura enveloped her.
“It wouldn’t matter if you refuse, I’m not a man who likes to make threats.”
“But you should think it through.”
“I believe you wouldn’t want all the cultivators from Piaomiao Palace to die here.”
Zhou Sui spoke nonchalantly.
“You!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Feirou was livid. She had never been this furious before. He claimed that he wasn’t threatening her, but if this wasn’t a threat, then what was?
Truth be told, she wished she could rush out and die together with this Master Mu.
But glancing at her sisters and contemplating her responsibility towards Piaomiao Palace…
If she and the other Nascent Soul female cultivators from the palace were to die here, then Piaomiao Palace, its disciples, and their vast marine territories would be left completely defenseless.
Piaomiao Palace’s thousand-year-old legacy would be destroyed under her watch.
Having been favored by the previous Palace Master of Piaomiao Palace, and given her life and cultivation, she couldn’t watch indifferently as Piaomiao Palace perished.
Ye Feirou, a woman who has lived for more than seven hundred years and is far from the impulsive young girl she once was, knew she had to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
Although acting out of anger might offer temporary relief, the potential consequences were unimaginable.
