Chapter 329: Chapter 297: Setting up an Array, News from the Upper Realm

Jiang Zuo had been active in Immortal City for nearly thirty years. With his extraordinary skills and his status as Tantai Feixue’s Dao partner, he had become one of the city’s most famous Cultivators in recent decades.

His disappearance, which had lasted over a year, had already drawn the attention of many in Immortal City.

Then one day, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the city.

It turned out that during the year he was missing, Master Gu had been taming a Divine Beast!

He had successfully tamed the fifth-rank Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, and his true identity was now known—Master Gu was a Direct Disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.

After taming the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, Master Gu had returned to the Divine Wood Sect’s East Divine Mountain!

When the news broke, the countless Cultivators in Immortal City were all left breathless with amazement.

Divine Beasts were legendary Spirit Beasts. For Master Gu, with his Three Flowers Realm Cultivation, to tame a fifth-rank Spirit Beast was simply unheard of.

Instantly, Jiang Zuo’s Beast Taming Reputation soared.

’That guy has been back at the Divine Wood Sect for over half a month. Why hasn’t he asked me to come over? Don’t tell me he’s found someone new there?’

In Immortal City, others might just treat it as a spectacle, marveling at Jiang Zuo’s incredible Beast Taming skills.

But Tantai Feixue, for her part, was far from composed.

Having tasted the sweet rewards of dual cultivation with Jiang Zuo, she found it impossible to stop.

She had already calculated that if she continued to dual cultivate with Jiang Zuo, she could reach the Perfection stage of the Dao Fruit Realm in thirty years at most. Then, she could begin preparing to break through to the Manifestation Realm.

Now that she and Jiang Zuo had been intimate, being unable to dual cultivate with him in the future would be a devastating loss.

Besides, in their decade or so of dual cultivation, Jiang Zuo had never treated her poorly.

Jiang Zuo had never asked for any of her possessions.

Tantai Feixue had initially been prepared to become Jiang Zuo’s puppet.

But that wasn’t how things turned out at all.

’He definitely still desires my face and body.’

’He probably just got back and has other matters to attend to.’

’I’ll wait one more month. If I still haven’t heard from him by then, I can’t wait any longer. I’ll have to go to him myself!’

After a moment of contemplation, Tantai Feixue made up her mind.

She waited and waited, and nearly two months passed.

With still no word from Jiang Zuo, she decided she couldn’t wait any longer and set off for the Divine Wood Sect at once.

While a Divine Wood Sect disciple went to announce her arrival, Tantai Feixue waited anxiously, worried she might be turned away.

Unexpectedly, she was soon led to Jiang Zuo’s private courtyard on the mountainside of East Divine Mountain.

Before she could say a word, Jiang Zuo pulled her into his room, where they engaged in an intense, passionate battle.

’This man... he’s clearly still very much into me. So why didn’t he ask me to come over?’

Her face flushed, Tantai Feixue lay on the bed, pondering in confusion.

She could tell that Jiang Zuo likely hadn’t been with any other woman in the past year.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so fiercely passionate the moment he saw her.

Jiang Zuo had, of course, considered asking Tantai Feixue to come over.

But after some consideration, he decided against it.

He was now supposed to be a brainwashed, loyal disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.

Proactively summoning Tantai Feixue wouldn’t fit his established persona.

While it might not expose him, Jiang Zuo decided it was better to err on the side of caution.

And he knew that Tantai Feixue would most likely come knocking on her own.

With Tantai Feixue coming of her own accord, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

"In half a month, summon a maidservant from the Cyan Simurgh Sect to attend to our daily needs."

"She doesn’t need to be too clever, and her Cultivation doesn’t need to be high. Just find someone with an ordinary appearance who will do her work honestly."

After another round of passion, Jiang Zuo said to Tantai Feixue.

"Yes, I understand, Husband."

Tantai Feixue nodded without a second thought.

Given their status, a single maidservant was a modest number.

No one in the Divine Wood Sect had much to say about Tantai Feixue’s arrival.

Tantai Feixue was in the late stage of the Dao Fruit Realm and had a considerable chance of breaking through to the Manifestation Realm in the future.

To the Divine Wood Sect, she was a significant asset.

Half a month later, Tantai Feixue summoned a maidservant from the Cyan Simurgh Sect named Lingshan.

Just as Jiang Zuo had specified, Lingshan was quite plain-looking.

Even if Jiang Zuo hadn’t made such a request, Tantai Feixue wouldn’t have brought over someone beautiful anyway.

It was hardly news for a master to have an affair with a maidservant, a situation Tantai Feixue naturally wanted to avoid.

However, after Lingshan arrived, Tantai Feixue discovered that in addition to attending to their daily needs, a larger part of the maidservant’s job was taking some of Jiang Zuo’s Spirit Beasts for strolls around East Divine Mountain.

’He’d never done anything like this back in Immortal City.’

Jiang Zuo offered a brief explanation, saying that the conditions in Immortal City hadn’t been suitable.

East Divine Mountain had a high-grade Spirit Vein; letting the Spirit Beasts move about outside would help them grow.

After hearing his explanation, Tantai Feixue gave it no more thought.

Many other Direct Disciples of the Divine Wood Sect also lived on East Divine Mountain. At first, some of them complained about what Jiang Zuo was doing.

But after they saw the Vermilion Bird, not one of them dared to voice another complaint.

The disciples on East Divine Mountain gradually grew accustomed to the sight of Lingshan wandering about the mountain with a retinue of Spirit Beasts.

"He spends his days dual cultivating with Tantai Feixue in the courtyard and taming Spirit Beasts. He has shown no sign of wanting to leave the sect."

"The maidservant Tantai Feixue summoned only has a Divine Body Realm Cultivation. Every few days, she takes several Spirit Beasts for a walk at the foot of East Divine Mountain. She has made no attempt to venture further up."

"Keep a close watch on them. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

Ge Fangrong read the report from his subordinate, nodded, and gave his instructions.
