79: Chapter 79: Subduing the Myriad Sounds Sect and Zhou Yuan!

Kuixing Tower was a teahouse opened by the Disciple of the Kuixing Island Master,

and was the largest teahouse on the entire Tiandu Street. Only Cultivators with considerable wealth could come here to drink tea,

especially those who could ascend to the VIP private rooms on the third floor; only Cultivators who had reached the late Foundation Establishment Stage or higher had this privilege.

Zhou Yuan was one of them.

However, before the tea even reached her lips, she saw someone she did not wish to see appear before her—

It was precisely Zhao Changsheng.

At this moment, Zhao Changsheng, led by her Miaoyin Sect's Foundation Establishment Elder, was standing at the entrance to the private room.

Zhou Yuan's face instantly turned extremely ugly,

because she had completely failed to anticipate that this Elder of hers, who was skilled in concealment and could even evade detection by mid Core Formation Cultivators, would be discovered and captured by Zhao Changsheng so quickly.

With no other choice, she could only invite Zhao Changsheng into the private room.

After taking a seat, Zhao Changsheng poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then, facing Zhou Yuan's grim expression, spoke:

"Sect Leader Zhou, shouldn't you give me an explanation? If you don't give me an explanation, then don't blame me for being impolite. Don't think that just because I've recently condensed my Golden Core and haven't yet forged my Lifebound Treasure, I can't deal with you, Sect Leader Zhou. On the contrary, if I'm willing, I can eliminate you, Sect Leader Zhou, at any time."

As soon as the words fell, a torrential, flood-like divine sense erupted from Zhao Changsheng's body, instantly immobilizing the entire private room,

and at the same time, even Zhou Yuan, a Core Formation Cultivator, was immobilized along with it.

Forget about mobilizing the true essence, magic power, and divine sense within her body; she could barely even move.

At this moment, Zhao Changsheng's divine sense was almost comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Under the suppression of such vast and terrifying divine sense,

Zhou Yuan's beautiful and charming face became pitifully pale, evoking an impulse in others to take her into their arms and comfort her.

But Zhao Changsheng remained unmoved, calmly savoring the spirit tea in his hand,

and only after finishing the tea in his cup did he withdraw his divine sense.

By now, Zhou Yuan's face had lost all color, leaving only an expression of panic, fear, and disbelief.

She truly couldn't imagine that a Core Formation Cultivator could possess such terrifying divine sense power,

and what was more important was that she seemed utterly powerless to resist before him.

This filled her with deep regret, but it was already too late for regrets.

"Fellow Daoist, please state whatever compensation you desire. As long as this concubine can manage it, I will certainly do my utmost to satisfy you."

At this point, aside from apologizing and offering compensation, Zhou Yuan couldn't think of any other solution.

"I want the entire Miaoyin Sect. Don't get angry, hear me out."

Zhao Changsheng set down his teacup. These words caused Zhou Yuan's face to change drastically again, her eyes now filled with fear and an additional measure of anger, yet she still refrained from speaking out of apprehension.

"Do you know how many years I've been cultivating for?"

Zhao Changsheng's counter-question completely baffled Zhou Yuan—she indeed had no idea about this matter.

"I have been cultivating for less than thirty years. If you don't believe me, you can check my bone age."

Saying this, Zhao Changsheng even extended his arm for Zhou Yuan to inspect.

But Zhou Yuan was in no mood to check; she was already stunned once again by Zhao Changsheng's words.

Condensing a Golden Core before the age of thirty, and possessing such fearsome divine sense power—

this was truly unbelievable. Even looking across the entire Chaotic Star Seas, such individuals were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, virtually unparalleled.

What this meant, Zhou Yuan understood all too clearly—

if Zhao Changsheng's words were not false, then in the future, the Chaotic Star Seas would certainly gain another Nascent Soul Cultivator, or even a great late Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"And I am also a Loose Cultivator, so I want to directly take over the entire Miaoyin Sect. This way, I'll have a place to settle and Cultivate, and many matters will have people to handle them for me. For example, the Materials needed to forge my Lifebound Treasure—relying on myself alone, who knows how many years it would take to find them, which would severely impact my cultivation progress. But if I have an organization helping, not only would the search be faster and easier, it also wouldn't delay my cultivation."

"You should be well aware that with my cultivation speed, I can smoothly condense a Nascent Soul in at most one or two hundred years. By then, I'll be just over two hundred, at most three hundred years old, and will have successfully condensed a Nascent Soul, becoming a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"And your Miaoyin Sect could naturally rise to become a major power—an organization with a Nascent Soul Cultivator presiding over it. That way, basically no other organization would dare to provoke you."

"As for me, I won't seize your Miaoyin Sect; I just hope to reach a cooperation with your Miaoyin Sect. In other words, I can become your Miaoyin Sect's Grand Elder, and your Miaoyin Sect will serve me. As long as you do as I say, I can guarantee that, both now and in the future, I will do my utmost to protect you, help you, and prevent you from being bullied at will."

"Sect Leader Zhou, what do you think of what I've said?"

Zhao Changsheng poured himself another cup of tea, but after pouring, he didn't drink it himself; instead, he pushed it toward Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan looked at the spirit tea Zhao Changsheng had pushed over, her expression incredibly complex, alternating between green and pale, as she pondered something unknown.

She didn't fully believe what Zhao Changsheng had said; at most, she believed twenty or thirty percent of it.

But she also knew she had no room for choice.

There was no other way but to agree.

Because she understood clearly that if she didn't agree, she absolutely would not leave this private room alive.

Although Kuixing Tower had clear rules that anyone who dared to casually kill other Cultivators within the teahouse would be hunted down by the entire Kuixing Island,

in reality, everyone knew such rules only applied to Foundation Establishment Cultivators and were useless against Core Formation Cultivators.

Although she had life-preserving methods, she felt she could hardly escape calamity at Zhao Changsheng's hands,

or rather, even if she could escape now, what about the Miaoyin Sect?

This was the most troublesome part, and also what she was most reluctant to part with.

"Can I refuse?"

Zhou Yuan still asked unwillingly.

"Naturally you can, of course there's no problem. However, in that case, we'll have to settle accounts properly."

As soon as Zhao Changsheng uttered these casual words, Zhou Yuan could only sigh inwardly and finally said three words:

"I agree!"

"From now on, you are the Grand Elder of my Miaoyin Sect!"

After saying this, Zhou Yuan drank the spirit tea Zhao Changsheng had offered in one gulp.

"Splendid. As expected of Sect Leader Zhou, truly a heroine not outdone by men, a decisive person, worthy of admiration. From today on, I am the Grand Elder of your Miaoyin Sect. From now on, I will do my utmost to resolve the troubles of your Miaoyin Sect. Similarly, you must not disobey the things I ask you to do. I don't demand you agree to everything, but you must do your utmost."

Zhao Changsheng was very satisfied and immensely pleased with Zhou Yuan's choice.
