Chapter 301: Chapter 284: A Dual Cultivation Partner Delivered to the Door

"Master Gu, on my way here, I saw quite a few people who looked like spies."

"The methods of the Cultivation Realm are impossible to defend against. This Spirit Beast of mine is a bit special, and I don’t want anyone else to know about it. I wonder, has Master Gu set up an array to prevent detection?"

Tantai Feixue said apologetically.

"Of course. I’ve already had an Array Master set up an array in the main hall. Sect Leader Tantai, you can rest assured."

Jiang Zuo nodded.

Most of the people who sought out Jiang Zuo had extraordinary backgrounds. It wasn’t uncommon for them to make similar requests.

Jiang Zuo had specifically hired an Array Master from the Immortal City to set up an anti-detection array.

Then he had secretly set up a second one himself.

With this double array in place, it was impossible for the outside world to know what happened inside the house.

"That’s good."

"Dongqin, you wait outside the door. Don’t let anyone disturb Master Gu and me."

"Yes, Master."

The female Cultivator named Dongqin replied respectfully. After Jiang Zuo and Tantai Feixue entered the main hall, she closed the door and stood guard outside.

"Sect Leader Tantai, would you care for some Spirit Tea? I bought some excellent batches from the Wanbao Auction House a while ago."

Jiang Zuo said casually.

"No, thank you. Master Gu, could you please take a look at my Spirit Beast first?"

Tantai Feixue shook her head.

’Jiang Zuo wasn’t surprised. If Tantai Feixue were the type to casually drink tea offered by others, she’d have likely become someone’s prisoner long ago.’

"Please."

Jiang Zuo gestured with his hand.

Tantai Feixue took out a Spirit Beast Bag and summoned a listless, Fourth-Order, fiery Red Fox.

Jiang Zuo stepped forward, moving closer to the fiery Red Fox to examine it carefully.

But as soon as he drew near, he caught the faint, peculiar scent wafting from the fox’s fur.

He snapped his head up, his gaze landing on Tantai Feixue.

A strange light was already glowing in Tantai Feixue’s eyes.

Jiang Zuo met Tantai Feixue’s gaze, and a trace of confusion clouded his eyes.

"Master Gu, what do you think of my appearance?"

Tantai Feixue asked with a smile.

"Absolutely beautiful. Your beauty could topple nations!"

Jiang Zuo answered firmly.

"Then, Master Gu... do you like me? Do you desire me?"

"I like you! I desire you!"

"In that case, I wish to become your Dao companion, Master Gu. Are you willing?"

"I am!"

"After we become Dao companions, will you obey my every command, Master Gu?"

"I will!"

"Master Gu, you are too good to me! However, my heart is set on the Great Dao, and my Cultivation Technique requires that I remain a virgin!"

"So please remember, Master Gu, only on the day I reach the Perfection of the Manifestation Realm can we consummate our union!"

"Until then, you must assist me with all your heart and soul, so that we may reach the Perfection of the Manifestation Realm sooner and ascend to the Upper Realm!"

Tantai Feixue continued speaking, layering more and more suggestions into Jiang Zuo’s mind.

Under the effects of her Emotion Silk Heart-Locking Technique, Master Gu was already completely at her mercy.

However, she had always been an extremely cautious person. The Emotion Silk Heart-Locking Technique was powerful, allowing her to easily control male Cultivators with weaker Divine Sense than her own.

Yet, this was the first time she had ever used the Emotion Silk Heart-Locking Technique to completely control someone.

Previously, with the talented prodigies who pursued her, Tantai Feixue had at most only given them slight suggestions to increase their favor toward her and make her own actions more convenient.

She knew very well that a person’s behavior would inevitably change, no matter what, once they were being controlled.

The genius disciples from prominent families were always in the public eye. At most, she could only control one or two of them.

Any more than that, and she would surely be exposed.

In reality, however, even controlling one or two carried a great risk of exposure.

’In Tantai Feixue’s eyes, none of those men had been worth the risk.’

Until Master Gu appeared.

Qin Caixian was a pawn Tantai Feixue had secretly put in place. For years, Tantai Feixue had been discreetly gathering information on Jiang Zuo.

To a small sect like the Cyan Simurgh Sect, Jiang Zuo was undoubtedly of immense value.

After several years, once she was certain she could control Jiang Zuo with little risk of being exposed, she finally decided to act.

She was now using her words to implant numerous suggestions, which would make Jiang Zuo’s subsequent actions seem more natural.

This would make the chances of her being exposed even smaller.

This way, she would have the opportunity to target other Cultivators as well.

The thought of successfully controlling a figure like Master Gu invigorated Tantai Feixue.

She was already remarkably talented; otherwise, she never could have reached the mid-stage of the Dao Fruit Realm at such a young age in a small sect like the Cyan Simurgh Sect.

After obtaining a powerful Cultivation Technique like the Emotion Silk Heart-Locking Technique, Tantai Feixue’s ambitions had grown immense.

She didn’t just want to cultivate to the Perfection of the Manifestation Realm and ascend; she also wanted to transform the Cyan Simurgh Sect into one of the greatest sects in the Cultivation Realm.

To achieve this, she would need to control certain Cultivators with her Emotion Silk Heart-Locking Technique.

Tantai Feixue felt not the slightest bit of remorse about this.

The Cultivation Realm had always been a place where the strong devoured the weak. Murder and robbery were commonplace, to say nothing of merely using a Cultivation Technique to control others.

As she was lost in thought, Tantai Feixue saw Jiang Zuo slowly reach out, as if to caress her face.

"Don’t you dare get handsy without my permission!"

Tantai Feixue’s expression darkened as she barked out the angry reprimand.

But the moment she finished speaking, she was stunned to see a flash of clarity in Jiang Zuo’s eyes, and a mocking smile spread across his face.

’Not good!’

Alarm bells went off in Tantai Feixue’s mind.

But before she could react, Jiang Zuo lunged like a wild beast, pinning her hands and feet and pressing her to the floor.

Tantai Feixue was horrified to discover that she, a Dao Fruit Realm Cultivator, was pinned to the ground, completely unable to move.
