Chapter 261: Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Qian Ziyun, the Thousand-Illusion Demoness

"You may go down first."

"I still have some matters to discuss with Chuntao and the others."

Taohua Shangren smiled slightly, revealing a grin, wanting Zhou Sui to leave so she could give personal instructions to her handmaidens.

Whoosh!

Zhou Sui felt helpless, so he had no choice but to leave the quiet room and return to his own bedroom.

Because the matter was already a foregone conclusion, he could not refuse.

"Island Master."

Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao all looked at Taohua Shangren with eager eyes.

They did not quite understand in their hearts why the Island Master wanted to give them away.

Could it be that the Island Master did not like them anymore?

Thinking of this, they could not help but feel a bit aggrieved.

But before they could say anything more, Taohua Shangren spoke up.

"I quite like that man."

"But I don't want to be the one to take the initiative; I want that man to cry and beg to marry me, so I need your help."

Taohua Shangren said straightforwardly.

Although she could not be this blunt in front of outsiders, needing to maintain the dignity of a female Nascent Soul cultivator.

But in front of these handmaidens, who were like sisters and daughters to her, she did not have to worry about so much.

She directly stated her inner thoughts.

What?!

Once these words were out, Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao all widened their beautiful eyes, their hearts stirred into a tempest, because they had not expected the Island Master to utter such bold and passionate words.

This was simply a woman deeply in love.

Each of them had flushed faces, feeling incomparably excited.

Because this meant that the Island Master valued them highly and considered them confidantes, which was why she entrusted them with such an important task.

Moreover, this concerned the Island Master's future happiness, so they would not hesitate even if it meant death.

"Island Master, what do you want us to do?"

Chuntao asked immediately.

"You will follow this man back to the Samsung Island Group this time."

"Help me investigate his daily life and various hobbies clearly."

"I want to know what kind of woman he actually likes and what kind of quirks he has."

"Of course, if possible, you can also help him quickly improve his cultivation."

"After all, his current cultivation is still a bit weak."

"He must at least be in the Nascent Soul Realm to be slightly worthy of me."

Taohua Shangren smiled slightly.

She did not send her handmaidens to the Samsung Island Group without reason.

It was to act as spies, keeping an eye on every move this man made.

To be honest, she really could not stand this man constantly failing to contact her, treating her like a woman who was easy to use.

He only contacted her when something went wrong.

So this time, she was going to take the initiative and plant her own confidantes by his side.

"Yes, Island Master, just leave this matter to us."

"We guarantee we will make this man fall hopelessly in love with the Island Master."

Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao all felt they were shouldering a sacred mission.

If this matter were to be botched, their Island Master's happiness would be completely gone.

Therefore, this mission was not allowed to fail under any circumstances; it had to succeed, failure was not an option.

"Good, then this matter is left to you."

Taohua Shangren was very satisfied; after all, she was very confident in the work of these four handmaidens, as they could be considered the most reliable women on Taohua Island.

With them taking action, this would surely be foolproof.

…………

After discussing this matter, the four Golden Core handmaidens quickly returned to their own rooms.

They were still incomparably excited, unable to calm down from their high spirits.

"My god, I never expected the Island Master to actually fall in love with that man, and so boldly and passionately, without any concealment. Is this the Island Master experiencing her first love? It is simply too beautiful."

Chuntao wore a lovestruck expression on her face.

Basically, every female cultivator on Taohua Island was like this; they completely regarded Taohua Shangren as their idol.

Each and every one of them worshipped her immensely and was willing to go through fire and water for Taohua Shangren.

"I knew it when that man entered Taohua Island last time; the Island Master definitely had unusual feelings for him, otherwise, why would she have brought this man into the island?"

Xiatao said triumphantly, feeling that she had foresight.

Her previous predictions had all come true at this moment.

"But that man is being a bit too arrogant, isn't he? The Island Master is such an incredibly beautiful woman, arguably the number one beauty in the Canglan Sea; for him to not even be interested in such a beauty, and for the Island Master to have to pursue him personally, it's simply giving him too much face."

Qiutao was very angry, feeling that the man was overly arrogant.

Clearly, the Island Master, who was like a saintess, was so noble and beautiful that everyone in the world, regardless of gender, age, or race, should have fallen in love with her.

Yet this man dared to ignore the beautiful Island Master; it was simply outrageous.

How can this dog of a man be so arrogant?

"You can't really say it like that."

"I don't think that man doesn't like the Island Master."

"Rather, he has self-awareness and is retreating because he knows the difficulty."

"This man knows he isn't worthy of the Island Master, so he doesn't dare to have too much contact with her."

"Otherwise, it might bring about a great disaster."

Dongtao had a different perspective.

After all, for a lowly Golden Core male Cultivator to want to pursue a Nascent Soul female Cultivator, isn't that just a pipe dream?

Retreating in the face of difficulty is actually human nature.

Rashly pursuing her might instead be seeking one's own death.

"Hmm, this man can be considered to have some self-awareness, knowing he isn't worthy of the Island Master."

"But whether he is worthy or not is for the Island Master to decide, not for him to say."

"When it comes down to it, this man is just too arrogant, thinking he can monopolize the Island Master."

"Even if the Island Master just wants to play with him, this man should cooperate."

Chuntao clenched her delicate fists.

She felt that anyone in the world who made the Island Master unhappy was not a good person.

"Since the Island Master has entrusted this task to us, we must complete it diligently."

"A mere stinking man is nothing at all."

"It is said he still has six wives and concubines, all staying within the Samsung Island Group."

"What? Only six wives and concubines? It seems this man is quite devoted and not the philandering type."

"It seems we must focus on those six wives and concubines; I wonder what kind of women he likes."

Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao discussed among themselves, critiquing the intelligence on Zhou Sui.

According to their understanding, for a Golden Core male Cultivator to have only six wives and concubines is indeed quite few.

Which ordinary Golden Core male Cultivator doesn't have dozens or hundreds of wives and concubines?

For the more exaggerated ones, marrying three thousand wives and concubines is a very normal thing and is already a common sight.

Like Wuji Daoren, a Nascent Soul Cultivator with one wife and seventy-two concubines, he is considered devoted.

With only six wives and concubines, it's not even a fraction of that.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning.

Chuntao, Xiatao, Qiutao, Dongtao, and Zhou Sui steered the Third-tier Flying Boat and flew toward the Samsung Island Group.

They were also very much looking forward to welcoming a brand-new life.

…………

Heavenly Demon Sect.

At this very moment, Chu Dieyi had finally returned to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The news of her becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator also spread like a hurricane throughout the Heavenly Demon Sect.

It left many Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivators shocked.

No one expected that Chu Dieyi had actually succeeded in advancing to Nascent Soul while outside.

Some who had once offended Chu Dieyi were even more terrified and were already thinking of fleeing the Heavenly Demon Sect.

After all, once Chu Dieyi became a Yuan Infant Elder, those of them who had offended her would surely be dead without a doubt.

At this time, the most central peak of the Heavenly Demon Sect was named Tianmo Peak.

This was also where the Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master Qian Ziyun resided; this peak was shrouded in Demon Qi all day long, never seeing the sun, gloomy and terrifying, like the lair of a heavenly demon.

Inside the Immortal Palace on Tianmo Peak, upon the throne.

Sat a peerless demonic woman; she wore a black, off-the-shoulder, high-slit dress, setting off skin like snow, resembling a blooming Tianshan snow lotus.

Her fair, charming, and slender legs were crossed, radiating immense allure.

What was even more unbearable was that her "reasoning" was truly too large, like a towering mountain peak.

Any man who saw it would wish to prostrate himself beneath her pomegranate skirt.

She was the Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master Qian Ziyun, seven hundred years old, a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator.

She was also the highest authority of the Heavenly Demon Sect, having ruled it for hundreds of years.

She had once left behind a resounding reputation in the Canglan Sea.

"Master."

Chu Dieyi entered the Immortal Palace and respectfully greeted her master.

Even though she had now advanced to Nascent Soul Early Stage and was theoretically on the same level as her master.

Yet, facing this unfathomable Heavenly Demon Sect Sect Master, she still had no courage to resist.

"Not bad."

"To think you didn't need to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"You found your opportunity while outside and successfully advanced to Nascent Soul."

"You can be considered the fastest person in my Heavenly Demon Sect to advance to Nascent Soul in hundreds of years."

"It was not in vain that I, your master, painstakingly cultivated you."

"Tell me, what kind of miraculous encounter did you have this time to be able to advance to Nascent Soul?"

Qian Ziyun looked at Chu Dieyi with great satisfaction; after all, the woman before her was her most satisfactory Disciple.

Not only is the talent extremely high, but the loyalty is unwavering.

"Master, I entered a certain Secret Realm by chance."

"I obtained many spiritual items for Nascent Soul formation from within, which is how I was able to successfully form my Nascent Soul."

Chu Dieyi naturally could not tell the whole truth, so she casually fabricated a fake opportunity.

"You are lying."

"Do you think your master cannot tell?"

"Now that your primordial yin has been lost, which man exactly did you give it to?"

"I truly did not expect that my loyal disciple would have it taken away by a man."

"And the other party even incited you to lie to me."

Qian Ziyun looked at Chu Dieyi indifferently.

Her pair of beautiful eyes had no ripples, resembling an ancient abyss pool where a Heavenly Demon resided, causing one's heart to palpitate.

Within her black pupils, a terrifying scene of blood covering the ocean and corpses littering the ground seemed to emerge.

Boundless Demon Qi permeated from her body.

"Master, this is this disciple's opportunity."

"According to the rules of the Heavenly Demon Sect, I am not obligated to disclose all of my opportunities."

Chu Dieyi trembled, seemingly recalling the various terrors of her master, and was almost scared into kneeling on the ground.

However, an inexplicable power surged within her; thinking of that man who was like an exiled immortal and simply omnipotent, endless courage instantly seemed to dispel all the fear in her heart.

She withstood the pressure from her master, Qian Ziyun, neither humble nor pushy.

"Hmm."

Qian Ziyun looked at Chu Dieyi, just looking, without saying a single word.

The massive Immortal Palace was deathly quiet at this moment; it seemed that if a needle were to drop on the ground, it could be heard clearly.

The pressure permeating the air became increasingly terrifying.

Just as Chu Dieyi was about to be unable to endure it, Qian Ziyun suddenly smiled, as if a hundred flowers were in full bloom, charming and enchanting.

"Not bad."

"Facing your master's pressure, you were actually unmoved and composed."

"It seems you have truly passed the Heart Demon Tribulation."

"You have made great progress compared to before."

"Does it have anything to do with the man who took your primordial yin?"

Qian Ziyun smiled slightly.

But facing her master's questioning, Chu Dieyi remained silent, making a wordless resistance.

"Fine, fine."

"The Heavenly Demon Sect indeed has no such rule."

"Nor is every Disciple required to disclose the opportunities they have obtained."

"You have now become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, your status has been greatly elevated, and you automatically become an Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Your master cannot force you to say anything either."

"Since you do not wish to speak, then your master will not ask."

"Go down, go to the Chuan Gong Hall to receive your cultivation techniques and the rewards for promoting to a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

Qian Ziyun waved her hand, appearing somewhat bored, and let her disciple leave.

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, Chu Dieyi felt a sense of relief, immediately accepted the order, and quickly left the Immortal Palace.

After all, staying with her master every moment was simply too much pressure.

Because her master was simply a fickle demoness; no one knew what she was thinking inside.

Sometimes she would be happily talking to you the second before.

But the next second, because you violated her taboo, she would start a massacre.

Every Heavenly Demon Sect Cultivator was walking on thin ice when staying with Qian Ziyun.

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"Which male Cultivator exactly took my disciple's Nascent Soul?"

"Is it a Cultivator from another Nascent Soul Sect, a Demon Sect Cultivator, or perhaps a Loose Cultivator?"

Qian Ziyun's beautiful eyes flickered.

She became increasingly interested in the man behind Chu Dieyi.

A disciple who was originally timid and submissive, never daring to disobey her orders, now actually dared to defy her for the sake of that person; this point was truly very unusual.

"Dark Guard."

At this moment, Qian Ziyun waved her hand.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!

In an instant, black shadows appeared in the Immortal Palace, their bodies wrapped in endless Darkness, and no one could know what their true faces looked like.

They were the Dark Guard of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

They were also the death squads of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the direct troops of the Sect Master.

They existed specifically to help the Sect Master do things that could not see the light of day.

"Go help me investigate."

"See where this female disciple of mine has been during this period of time."

"Stay there for a long time."

"You must investigate it for me from beginning to end, in every detail."

Qian Ziyun issued the order.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The many Dark Guards of the Heavenly Demon Sect immediately acknowledged the order; their figures flashed, and they instantly departed from the Immortal Palace.

In the vast Immortal Palace, only Qian Ziyun remained.

It seemed that at this moment, the power of the entire Tianmo Peak had merged into one with her; she was the very embodiment of Darkness.
