Chapter 314: Beauty Saves the Hero, Submissively Becoming a Subject Under Her Skirt
"By the way, I wonder if you are a Loose Cultivator, Daoist?"
"After all, I have known quite a few Nascent Soul Cultivators, yet I have never seen you before."
Xia Shuiyang's eyes flickered as she looked at Zhou Sui.
"I am indeed a Loose Cultivator."
Zhou Sui nodded; there was nothing to hide regarding this point.
"If that is the case, would you like to join my Hehuan Sect and become a Guest Elder of the Hehuan Sect?"
"My Hehuan Sect is a Deity Transformation sect with numerous legacies."
"There are also many beautiful female cultivators available for you to enjoy, Daoist."
"I guarantee you will be reluctant to leave and find it well worth the value."
Xia Shuiyang's beautiful eyes shimmered; she wanted to invite Zhou Sui to become a Guest Elder of the Hehuan Sect.
Even for a Deity Transformation sect like the Hehuan Sect, a Nascent Soul Cultivator is still a significantly powerful combat force.
If he could become a Guest Elder of the sect, he would be one of their own, which could indirectly enhance the sect's strength.
There was no need for the Guest Elder to be overly loyal; as long as he did not become an enemy of the Hehuan Sect, that would suffice.
Therefore, every Deity Transformation sect would do its utmost to invite Loose Cultivator Nascent Soul experts to join as Guest Elders.
"As for that, I am personally a free spirit, accustomed to being idle, so I am afraid I will not join any sect."
Zhou Sui refused flatly.
After all, he had arrived in the Eastern Wasteland Continent only for cultivation resources, not to exert effort for the sects here.
Most importantly, he possessed many secrets.
If he were to encounter a Deity Transformation Ancestor, he might be exposed, which would be more trouble than it was worth.
Even if it might not necessarily be leaked, he would not take the risk if there was even the slightest possibility.
"Daoist Zhou does not need to be in such a hurry to refuse."
"I believe you are also aware of the World Fusion matter; the situation regarding the World Fusion is currently intensifying."
"It is estimated that in a few more years, the Ancient Demon World may invade our Immortal Cultivation World."
"By then, the entire Immortal Cultivation World will fall into chaos and be mired in the quagmire of war."
"Even if you wish to be carefree and at ease, Daoist, it may not be possible."
Xia Shuiyang reminded him.
"I have indeed heard a little about the World Fusion; is the situation really so severe?"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
Of course, he knew that the fusion of the two worlds would not just affect the Canglan Sea.
Basically, Void Omens would appear in every corner of the Immortal Cultivation World, and Boundary Gates would be everywhere.
By then, the Immortal Cultivation World and the Ancient Demon World would be able to travel between each other through the Boundary Gates, entering and exiting at will.
Because there were too many Boundary Gates, this was simply unavoidable.
This was the great trend of the era, impossible to block.
"That is correct; Void Omens have now appeared all over the Eastern Wasteland Continent."
"There are at least tens of thousands of them, both large and small."
"And those are just the ones discovered; I fear there are not a few that remain undiscovered."
"Even with the power of the many sects in the Eastern Wasteland Continent, it is impossible to guard every single Boundary Gate."
"Therefore, preventing the Monster Beasts of the Ancient Demon World from entering is an entirely impossible task."
"By then, every part of the Eastern Wasteland Continent will surely be in ruins."
"Even as a Loose Cultivator, the probability of being unable to escape unscathed is high."
"Joining a sect and obtaining the protection of the sect is the wise course of action."
Xia Shuiyang looked at Zhou Sui.
If this man agreed to join the Hehuan Sect, then she could do whatever she wanted with him.
She could even use her authority to command this man and make him submit to her.
"Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Xia, but I am accustomed to being alone and independent."
"As for life and death, let fate decide."
Zhou Sui smiled slightly, having no intention of agreeing.
"Very well, since Daoist Zhou says so, it is not convenient for me to say anything more."
"I hope your Dao path remains smooth."
Xia Shuiyang felt a bit regretful, but she did not intend to continue persuading him.
Because the other party was a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a firm Dao Heart; once a decision was made, no amount of persuasion would be of any use.
There was no need for her to waste this time.
Whoosh!
After saying these words, Zhou Sui bid farewell to her and chose to leave this place.
After all, he wanted to bring the Evergreen Vine back as soon as possible to avoid any complications.
…………
At this moment, watching Zhou Sui's departing figure, a glimmer of light appeared in Xia Shuiyang's beautiful eyes.
"Senior Sister, this man is likely being targeted by the four Li brothers; he is in grave danger."
A female cultivator of the Hehuan Sect suddenly reported this news.
The so-called four Li brothers were all Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.
In their youth, their Luck was overwhelming; they actually obtained the legacy of a Transformation God Relic, acquiring the inheritance of a sect from the Ancient Era, and on top of that, they possessed Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude.
It is easy to imagine that their cultivation also soared to the skies.
At only seven or eight hundred years of age, they were already Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators.
However, because cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm is extremely difficult and progress is slow, their Dao Heart is not very firm, and they often linger in Hundred Flowers City, squandering vast amounts of wealth every day.
It is no lie that Hundred Flowers City is a money pit; even a Nascent Soul Ancestor cannot withstand such extravagance.
To earn money, they often disguise themselves as Robber Cultivators to plunder other Cultivators.
But they are Nascent Soul Ancestors with formidable strength, so few dare to seek revenge.
Of course, more importantly, they basically target Loose Cultivator Nascent Souls; these Loose Cultivator Nascent Souls have no backers, so even if they die, no one will avenge them.
Thus, they have remained at large for a long time, with no one daring to provoke them.
"The four Li brothers have actually set their sights on Daoist Zhou? It seems Daoist Zhou possesses many Treasures."
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been targeted by the four demons of the Li family."
Xia Shuiyang's beautiful eyes flickered.
She knew the background of the four Li brothers very well; although these four were despicable, shameless, and ruthless in their methods, their strength was indeed powerful, and they were also proficient in a Treasure Light Spirit Eye Technique.
It allows them to see the light of Treasures on other Cultivators.
In this way, it is convenient for them to find wealthy Cultivators, and they are almost always successful.
Clearly, they wander Hundred Flowers City all day just to find such wealthy targets.
From the moment Zhou Sui entered the city, he had been targeted by them.
"Senior Sister, what should we do now?"
A female Cultivator of the Hehuan Sect looked at Xia Shuiyang.
She knew her Senior Sister's scheme for that man was to use him as a Cauldron.
Naturally, she did not want to watch him die at the hands of the four demons of the Li family.
"It's fine, isn't this a good thing?"
"Wait for the four demons of the Li family to make their move first; I will intervene at the critical moment to save his life."
"Once I have the grace of saving his life, I'm afraid this man won't be able to escape."
Xia Shuiyang smiled slightly.
She actually felt this was a great opportunity, just right for leveraging a favor to make demands.
If the four demons of the Li family hadn't made a move, she wouldn't have found any excuse to act against this man.
To think such a thing would happen now; it is truly Heaven helping me.
"So that's how it is; as expected of our Senior Sister."
The surrounding Hehuan Sect female Cultivators all looked at Xia Shuiyang with admiration.
Their own Senior Sister actually wanted to play the beauty saving the hero.
I'm afraid that by then, this man will have no choice but to submit.
He will only be able to obediently become a man under their Senior Sister's skirt, never able to leave again.
At this very moment, in a restaurant near the city gate of Hundred Flowers City.
Four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators gathered together; they were the four demons of the Li family.
They were named Li Dong, Li Xi, Li Nan, and Li Bei respectively.
Although their names were simple, their reputation was illustrious, enough to make countless Cultivators near Hundred Flowers City tremble with fear.
"Fourth Brother, are you sure that guy has many Treasures on him?"
The eldest brother, Li Dong, asked, staring at Zhou Sui, who was leaving Hundred Flowers City in the distance.
"That's right, I am one hundred percent sure."
"The moment this person entered Hundred Flowers City, I locked onto him."
"Eldest Brother also knows that we obtained the inheritance of the Refining Treasure Sect, a Transformation God sect from the Ancient Era."
"I have cultivated one of their techniques, the Treasure Light Spirit Eye Technique, to the Master Realm."
"No matter what kind of Cultivator they are, one glance at their Storage Bag or storage ring allows me to sense how many Treasures are inside and know the extent of their background."
"But this person—the moment he entered Hundred Flowers City, I saw numerous rays of Treasure light intertwined, extremely brilliant; even a Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator's net worth would be no more than this."
"If we plunder this person's net worth, we won't have to worry about our cultivation for the next hundred years."
Li Bei said with great excitement.
The former Transformation God sect, the Refining Treasure Sect, was a great sect of the past, especially skilled in refining Dharma Treasures.
However, although the four Li brothers obtained many inheritances from the Refining Treasure Sect, they did not inherit the memory of treasure refining.
Because they lacked the talent for refining treasures.
But even so, this Transformation God sect's inheritance was vast, leaving behind many Treasures.
It still allowed their strength to improve greatly, enabling them to successfully ascend to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Among them, the Treasure Light Spirit Eye Technique was a supreme art of the Refining Treasure Sect, and its cultivation difficulty was extremely high.
However, they still succeeded in cultivating it, spending several hundred years.
Of course, Li Dong's perception was indeed correct.
After all, the Storage Bag of this avatar, Zhou Sui, contained quite a few Spirit Stones, Fourth-Tier Treasure Pills, and most importantly, materials for setting up a Teleportation Array; these Fourth-Tier materials were worth a fortune.
Any Nascent Soul Cultivator would go crazy for them.
"Eldest Brother, this person also seemed to have entered Wanbao Tower just now."
"And he was personally received by the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City, Xia Shuiyang."
"A Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator from out of town actually received a personal reception from Xia Shuiyang; if he didn't have numerous Treasures on him, how could he possibly have gained Xia Shuiyang's attention?"
Li Nan said in a deep voice.
"The problem is, with this person having so many Treasures, is he really just a Loose Cultivator?"
"If his background is extremely significant, then what should we do?"
Li Xi was a bit worried about this point.
"No matter, whether he is a Loose Cultivator or a Nascent Soul from a sect, we must make a move this time."
"If we miss this village, we won't find this shop."
"You must know that the World Fusion is imminent, and with the Ancient Demon World invading, the Immortal Cultivation World will surely be incredibly chaotic, with the flames of war spreading everywhere."
"Faced with such a great catastrophe, even a sect with a Spirit Severing stage must be on high alert."
"Once we pull off this job, we will immediately fly far away and hide for several decades or even a hundred years."
"If nothing happens, we can return to Hundred Flowers City; if something does happen, we won't come back. Anyway, the East Wasteland Continent is so vast, where can't we go to live freely and unfettered?"
Li Dong said in a deep voice, looking at his brothers.
"Good, since Big Brother has said so, then we will do it."
Everyone nodded, having made up their minds.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!!
The four Li brothers immediately chased in the direction Zhou Sui had left; they had a Spirit Beast on them that had already memorized the aura on Zhou Sui.
Even if separated by a thousand miles, they could still track him.
Therefore, they were not afraid at all of losing him.
…………
Swoosh!
Another period of time passed.
A streak of sword light cut across more than a thousand kilometers, arriving in the deep mountains and wild forests far from Hundred Flowers City.
Zhou Sui moved forward at full speed, then suddenly stopped on a mountain peak and looked back.
He looked at the high sky in the distance with an expressionless face.
Sure enough, after a moment, four streaks of light arrived in an instant, separating into four directions to surround Zhou Sui completely, while simultaneously locking onto his aura so he had nowhere to escape.
"Interesting, you actually discovered us early on; it seems your divine sense is quite good."
"But you are also quite stupid."
"After discovering us, you didn't run away with all your might, but instead stopped."
"I don't know if you are bold because of your high skill, or just stupid."
The one speaking was the eldest brother, Li Dong, his eyes looking at Zhou Sui with mockery.
Although they were numerous and powerful now, they did not underestimate this Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator before them.
Even if the opponent was a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator, in terms of strength, he was definitely not their match.
However, it was not as if they had never capsized in the gutter before.
Therefore, even though they occupied an absolute advantage in strength, they did not lose their caution.
"Who exactly are you people, and why have you been tracking me since Hundred Flowers City?"
Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes.
In fact, he had long sensed the existence of these four Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators; after all, his Heart Eye Power was not fake, but no matter how he tried to shake them, he could not get rid of their tracking.
He knew that to get rid of their tracking, the only way was to take action and kill these uninvited guests who harbored malice.
"This old man is Li Dong, the Sect Master of the Refining Treasure Sect."
"The reason I tracked you here, fellow Daoist, is simply to make a deal with you."
Li Dong revealed a gentle smile, seemingly indicating that he did not harbor much malice.
"A deal? What kind of deal?"
Zhou Sui asked.
"I know that you, fellow Daoist, have quite a few Treasures, Pills, and materials on you."
"So I hope you can contribute these Treasures."
"Of course, the price is that your life can be preserved."
"If not, I'm afraid your path of Dao will end here."
At this moment, Li Dong stared at Zhou Sui, his body exuding waves of malice without any concealment.
"Sigh, I had long heard that the East Wasteland Continent is very chaotic."
"Incidents of killing people to seize Treasures are endless; I didn't expect Nascent Soul Cultivators to be like this too."
"But wanting to seize the Treasures on me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Zhou Sui sighed.
He could be considered to have witnessed the cruelty of the Immortal Cultivation World, where people kill to seize Treasures at the slightest provocation.
Even after advancing to Nascent Soul, it was still the same.
Don't think that Nascent Soul Cultivators won't encounter robberies; it's just that the Robber Cultivators they encounter will be more powerful.
It was quite correct for his main body to act so cautiously before.
Staying at home all the time, one wouldn't encounter many disasters.
Now he had only gone to a city to trade for some Treasures, and he was already being targeted.
One could imagine the level of danger in the Immortal Cultivation World.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have likely perished countless times already.
"It seems you prefer the toast of punishment over the toast of hospitality, so do not blame this old man."
A trace of Cold Glow appeared in Li Dong's eyes, and he waved his large hand.
Suddenly, a Nascent Soul Puppet with a tiger's head, a leopard's body, wings on its back, black baleful claws, and a ferocious appearance emerged in mid-air.
It had originally been in a state of invisibility, but at this moment, its figure was instantly exposed, and the terrifying black baleful claws immediately struck toward Zhou Sui's back with an unimaginably fast speed.
