Chapter 401: Chapter 265: So What If It’s a Nascent Soul Ancestor? Doesn’t Everyone Have One – Part 1
However, he also admired Chuntao’s character, which was characterized by gratitude and righteousness, which was in stark contrast to the selfish cultivators.
Perhaps this also had something to do with Chuntao’s living environment.
Though she had experienced a catastrophe in her childhood, with her family murdered by demon cultivators, leaving behind only her and her three sisters.
But under the protection of Master Peach Blossom, she was able to grow up healthily and ascend to the Golden Core realm.
Furthermore, because they had a Nascent Soul Ancestor backing them, no one dared to harm them.
Everyone around them seemed to be good-hearted.
At the very least, they acted as if they were, never daring to deceive or exploit them.
This ultimately nurtured their naive personality traits.
Honestly, such naiveté, without anyone to protect them, would not last long in the harsh cultivation world.
The thing was, the four of them were incredibly lucky.
Previously, they were protected by Master Peach Blossom, and now it was Zhou Sui’s turn to protect them.
In a sense, they were favored by fortune.
“Young Master Zhou, you set up a fourth-stage formation in the Tri-Star Island Group?”
“Could it be that Young Master Zhou is now a Fourth-Level Array Master?”
“Wait, how are you able to use Divine Consciousness Transmission, Young Master Zhou? Where are you?”
Hearing this, Chuntao widened her beautiful eyes, unable to contain her surprise.
She knew that Zhou Sui was a Third-Class, High Grade Array Master, but she didn’t expect that after all these years, he had become a Fourth-Level Array Master.
What’s more, he had silently set up a fourth-stage formation around the Tri-Star Island Group, which was beyond comprehension.
If Zhou Sui’s words were true, then with the power of the fourth-stage formation, they could indeed withstand a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Now, she was full of questions and curiosity about Zhou Sui.
She felt that she now had to hold this man in even higher regard.
“Don’t ask so many questions, I’m right on you.”
“Have you forgotten? I once gave you a hairpin.”
“I left my secret technique on it.”
“Let’s go, don’t delay time, or the Nascent Soul Cultivator might catch up.”
Zhou Sui said impatiently.
Chuntao nodded, without a word, she took the storage bags from the three Golden Core demon cultivators, took out a third-grade flying boat, and flew towards Immortal Mist City.
She finally reached Immortal Mist City and returned to Immortal Mist Peak without any incidents.
Seeing Zhou Sui appear before her, Chuntao finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been running scared for the past few days, with her nerves on edge, for fear that the Nascent Soul Ancestor might catch up.
Now that she was back home, she felt relieved.
“Sister Chuntao, weren’t you going to look for information on the Divinity Transformation relics?”
“Why do you look so flustered?”
At this moment, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao also crowded around.
The four sisters depended on each other for survival, and they could naturally sense Chuntao’s current state of panic.
Something major must have happened to cause their sister Chuntao to have such an expression.
They were all worried.
“Here’s what happened. I ran into three demon cultivators from Heisha Palace.”
Chuntao then recounted what had happened, including Zhou Sui’s assistance. If not for Zhou Sui’s special method left on her, she would have been dead by now.
“Young Master Zhou, we are truly grateful.”
Hearing this, Xiatao, Qiutao, and Dongtao all looked at Zhou Sui with immense gratitude.
They were also filled with lingering fear.
If it were not for the method left by Zhou Sui, their sister Chuntao would have probably been done for.
Honestly, they couldn’t imagine what they would look like if their sister Chuntao died.
They probably wouldn’t be able to go on living.
“Your trouble is far from over.”
“You just killed three Golden Core demon cultivators from Heisha Palace.”
“Not only were you targeted by the Cursed Soul Attractor, but you were also affected by the Blood Soul Thread.”
“It seems that Feilian Ancestor really values his disciples, even leaving behind a Blood Soul Thread.”
Zhou Sui arched an eyebrow.
He sensed an eerie thread in the color of blood entwining Chuntao’s body, as if it was connected to an unknown place in the void, enshackling her soul.
“Blood Soul Thread?!”
This shocking news drained the colors of Chuntao and others’ faces. They knew all too well what a Blood Soul Thread was.
This was the method of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
He could leave such a secret technique in the bloodline of his direct descendants. Once they were murdered, the Blood Soul Thread would automatically attach to the killer, and lock onto the killer’s aura.
In fact, they had similar soul secret arts left by Master Peach Blossom on them as well.
The objective was to deter other cultivators.
This was to prevent blindsighted cultivators from harming them.
If someone dared to kill them, they would incur Master Peach Blossom’s wrath, and he would personally seek revenge on the killer.
Although this soul secret art was not as potent as the blood lineage secret technique, it was still pretty formidable.
They never thought that they would one day be affected by a Nascent Soul Ancestor’s tracking method.
“No need to worry, it’s just a mere Blood Soul Thread.”
Zhou Sui casually motioned, immediately using the power of the Dream Soul Gu.
The Dream Soul Gu flew out and alighted on Chuntao, biting gently.
A crimson thread was instantly pulled out from Chuntao’s body and got devoured by the Dream Soul Gu, just as if it were its food.
Immediately afterward, this blood-colored thread disappeared without a trace.
“It seems that among those three Golden Core demon cultivators, one of them is very likely the son of Feilian Ancestor.”
