54: Chapter 54 Zhou Mu Returns, Nascent Soul Servant

"Revered Master is back!"

Bai Yunzhou's heart stirred, and he immediately reined in the Art of Refining Spirit Cultivation Technique he was about to circulate.

He tidied his robes and quickly walked out of the Immortal Cave.

On the open ground outside the Immortal Cave.

Elder Zhou Mu wore a green robe, her figure as upright as a pine.

Her aura was unfathomable, appearing even more steady and domineering than when she left.

Behind her stood three figures.

They were all dressed in uniform grey robes with restrained auras, but each carried the unique pressure of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

There were actually three Nascent Souls!

Two of them even seemed to have the aura of the Demonic Path on them!

Many doubts welled up in Bai Yunzhou's heart, but he didn't ask much and simply stepped forward to respectfully say,

"This Disciple greets Revered Master!"

Elder Zhou Mu's gaze fell upon him, her pupils contracting slightly.

Her Divine Sense swept across like a searchlight, taking in Bai Yunzhou's cultivation and strength at a glance.

"Mid Foundation Establishment?"

"In a mere three months, you have actually broken through to this point?"

Elder Zhou Mu's tone carried a trace of surprise, but even more of gratification.

She saw clearly that Bai Yunzhou's cultivation had not only reached Mid Foundation Establishment.

His Physical Body strength and blood-qi refinement degree were even comparable to a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Such a speed of advancement was extremely rare even among the Prodigys of the ancient times.

"It seems your Blood Demon Seal has been lifted!"

A trace of relief appeared on Elder Zhou Mu's face, but immediately afterward, she cast her gaze onto two of the three Nascent Souls behind her.

These two were none other than Xuehun and Xuesha from the previous Blood Demon Sect.

Originally, she brought these two back precisely to lift the Blood Demon Seal on Bai Yunzhou.

But now it seemed there was no longer any need.

Just as she cast her gaze upon these two, Xuehun reacted immediately, dropping to his knees and begging for mercy,

"This old servant truly did not know that the Young Lord was afflicted with the Blood Demon Seal previously!"

"Now that the Blood Demon Sect has been destroyed, this old servant has already genuinely submitted. I only beg the Revered Master and the Young Lord to be magnanimous and spare this humble life of mine!"

Seeing this, Xuesha beside him also hurriedly kowtowed along.

His forehead slammed against the ground with loud thuds, his blood-colored Dao robe stained with dust, retaining not even a shred of the dignity of a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor.

"May the Revered Master be wise and discerning!"

"Now that the Young Lord has lifted the seal on his own, it shows that his blessings are profound and it is the will of heaven!"

"The two of us are willing to be horses and oxen, at the beck and call of the Revered Master and the Young Lord, and we will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

The two kowtowed while continuously defending themselves and begging for mercy, terrified that this ruthless Qingxuan Sect Elder would change her mind and execute them on the spot.

Seeing this, Bai Yunzhou had also roughly guessed the identities of the two.

Weren't these two Nascent Soul powerhouses of the Blood Demon Sect!

Thinking of this,

his heart grew even more shocked.

Judging from what these two just meant, it seemed Revered Master had directly slaughtered the entire Blood Demon Sect and even taken these two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors as servants.

Just to bring them back to lift the Blood Soul Seal for him.

Although he had already broken through to Mid Foundation Establishment by himself and lifted the Blood Soul Seal in his body through his cultivation, he had firmly remembered this kindness from Revered Master.

At this moment, after pondering for a moment, the killing intent in Elder Zhou Mu's eyes receded.

However, she cast her gaze onto another Nascent Soul Cultivator.

That was a stern-looking middle-aged man whose body faintly emitted sharp Sword Qi; he was none other than Ye Jinglan of the Middle Stage Nascent Soul.

"His name is Ye Jinglan, with Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation."

"From now on, he will be your servant, at your beck and call."

Elder Zhou Mu continued,

"Hand over a wisp of your Divine Soul."

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yunzhou was stunned.

This person was actually a Middle Stage Nascent Soul powerhouse!

And Revered Master actually made him his servant?

Of course, besides him, Ye Jinglan was equally stunned.

Reacting, his expression instantly turned livid.

"I do not agree!"

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Elder Zhou Mu, his eyes filled with disbelief and unwillingness.

"I am a Middle Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator; how could I be reduced to a servant of a Mid Foundation Establishment junior?"

A Nascent Soul Cultivator was already a powerhouse in the Cultivation world.

Ordinary Sects would treat them as honored guests; how could he ever accept becoming a servant to a Foundation Establishment Disciple whose cultivation was far lower than his?

The other two Nascent Soul servants also wore strange expressions.

But constrained by Elder Zhou Mu's dignity, they dared not say much.

"You have no room for choice."

Elder Zhou Mu's tone suddenly turned cold, a flash of a cold glint crossing her eyes.

"Either agree, or die!"

Just as her words fell, Ye Jinglan let out a muffled grunt.

He only felt a sharp pain coming from his Divine Soul, and his complexion turned pale instantly.

This was Elder Zhou Mu's warning to him.

Telling him that as long as he dared to have the slightest disloyal thought, she could instantly obliterate both his body and soul.

"I..."

Ye Jinglan opened his mouth, the unwillingness and anger in his eyes gradually fading away.

Replaced by deep powerlessness and despair.

He knew that he no longer had any possibility of resisting.

Now that his Divine Soul was in the other party's hands, his life was firmly grasped by the other party.

"This old servant Ye Jinglan... greets Revered Master!"

Ye Jinglan lowered his head, his voice hoarse, while proactively handing over a wisp of his Divine Soul, which drifted in front of Bai Yunzhou.

Before Bai Yunzhou could react, Elder Zhou Mu formed incantation gestures, branding this wisp of Divine Soul into Bai Yunzhou's Sea of Consciousness.

"Now his life is in your hands; as long as a thought arises in your mind, you can make his soul and body perish!"

Hearing Elder Zhou Mu's words, Bai Yunzhou immediately sent his Divine Sense into his Sea of Consciousness, discovering that wisp of Divine Soul belonging to Ye Jinglan.

Through this wisp of Divine Soul, he could sense that with just a single thought of his own, he could end Ye Jinglan's life just as Revered Master had said.

Withdrawing his Divine Sense from the Sea of Consciousness, he looked at Elder Zhou Mu and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Revered Master."

Then, the Revered Master and Disciple entered the Immortal Cave and sat down.

Elder Zhou Mu asked about some of the things that had happened during the time she was away.

Regarding Revered Master's inquiry, Bai Yunzhou naturally did not hide anything and recounted all the events that had occurred during that period.

When Revered Master heard that Cao Xun had sent people to kill him, she immediately stood up, ready to take Bai Yunzhou to the Cao family to demand an explanation.

However, upon hearing that the Cao family Old Ancestor had already taken the initiative to apologize and make amends, she temporarily calmed down.

Next, Bai Yunzhou spoke about the Opportunity he had recently acquired.

Elder Zhou Mu could not help but look him up and down.

"I didn't expect you to have such an Opportunity."

As Bai Yunzhou spoke, he took out the Jade Slips recording the Blood Battle Eight Desolations Fist and Art of Refining Spirit from his storage ring.

After briefly browsing through them, Elder Zhou Mu returned them to him.

"These Cultivation Technique and secret arts are both quite good, just right for you right now, but for this teacher, they aren't of much help."

Bai Yunzhou felt quite disappointed; he had originally thought he could help Revered Master a little, but he hadn't expected it to turn out this way.

After some discussion, seeing that Bai Yunzhou was fine, Elder Zhou Mu then left with Xuehun and Xuesha.

Leaving Ye Jinglan standing in place, looking at Bai Yunzhou with a complex expression.

Bai Yunzhou hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Senior Ye need not be like this. Once I Cultivate to Nascent Soul, I will ask Revered Master to let you leave."

Hearing these words, Ye Jinglan's expression looked much better.

Although the hope for a Cultivator to break through to Nascent Soul was slim, there was hope after all.

"Many thanks!"

Then Bai Yunzhou briefly introduced Zhou Zhiting's identity before returning to the practice room to continue his cultivation.

Now that safety no longer needed to be worried about, he needed to properly prepare for the upcoming Inner Sect Grand Competition.

He was going to seize Liu Qingmo's Opportunity in the Inner Sect Grand Competition!

Thinking of this, he sat cross-legged, once again taking out the Jade Slip of the Art of Refining Spirit, and immersed himself in cultivation.
