Chapter 489: Chapter 292 Night Daoist, you wouldn’t want all the female cultivators of Piaomiao Palace to die here, would you_2

Hearing this, the numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators were speechless, holding their breaths, and did not dare to utter a word.

Even the cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage had their hair stand on end, feeling as if their lives could be lost at any moment.

After all, each of them had lived for nine hundred, or even over a thousand, years.

They weren’t far from the end of their lifespan.

If they were hit by a couple of Ku Rong Mysterious Light, they would likely die right there and then.

And they had no means to defend themselves.

It must be said that the Ku Rong Sect, a Nascent Soul Sect and hegemonic sect from the Ancient Era, indeed possessed such unimaginable power.

This silenced them further.

To be honest, until a moment ago they had shared the same thoughts as the Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, doubting if this mysterious figure was all bark and no bite.

Otherwise, why would it be only now that this person was taking action?

But now, Zhou Sui had executed one powerful strike, instantly killing a cultivator at the Nascent Soul middle stage.

They witnessed his matchless abilities.

All the plots and plans within their hearts had vanished.

No one dared to step forward.

They were scared that they could be the next Nascent Soul Cultivator to fall prey.

“Fellow Daoist, you misunderstood,”

“The idea to attack you was only held by the fool earlier, we certainly did not have any such thoughts,”

“And, indeed, we were wrong for trespassing into the territory of Ku Rong Sect.”

“We should compensate for the losses we brought.”

“If possible, we could discuss the compensation now.”

The head of the Xuanbao Tower, The Calculation Daoist, immediately conceded.

Having experienced the terrifying power of the foe firsthand, he knew it was wise to show some humility.

Otherwise, if they clashed head-on, there would be no benefits.

“Really? From what I see, it appears that you don’t quite seem to accept this from your hearts.”

“If there are those who haven’t accepted it, please step forward now.”

The voice of Zhou Sui echoed again.

Hearing this, the multiple Nascent Soul Cultivators twitched at the corners of their mouths and were speechless.

Dammit, did they look like fools?

If they dared to step forward, they were sure to meet their end.

They weren’t fools, they were old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years and had undertaken numerous instances of people’s pleasantries and worldly matters. How could they possibly be easily fooled by this?

“Fellow Daoist, you have misunderstood. We have indeed surrendered, heart and soul.”

“To be honest, we were wrong this time and it is only right that we compensate.”

“Please forgive us for our reckless actions this time. We will never dare to intrude into the territory of the Ku Rong Sect again.”

The many Nascent Soul Cultivators one by one capitulated.

They were painfully aware that they were now in a situation where it paid to be prudent instead of brave.

After all, when compared to their own lives, these worldly possessions meant nothing.

As long as they stayed alive, they could earn these treasures back.

They surely couldn’t die here over a little money.

“Good, since it’s like this, contact the cultivators outside.”

“Whoever pays the ransom first can leave first.”

Zhou Sui was very satisfied.

He felt that these Nascent Soul Cultivators had genuinely surrendered, and his act of making an example of one to warn the others had indeed been effective. No one else dared to bubble to the surface.

He was sure he could extort a rather significant amount from them this time.

He planned to make a big windfall while he had the chance.

Of course, those who wouldn’t pay were not allowed to leave.

……

It didn’t take long for numerous outside cultivators to learn about this incident.

Members of Wuji Alliance, Tianjian Sect, Sunset Sect, Piaomiao Palace, and other sects were dumbfounded, causing a significant commotion.

“Could it be? The Prohibition Array of the Divinity Transformation remains is controlled by a person. Hence, so many Nascent Soul Cultivators have been imprisoned. Their audacity is unheard of! They have virtually offended all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea territory. That guy is crazy! This has cut off his future in the Canglan Sea.”

Some people were taken aback, unable to believe it.

They couldn’t imagine someone actually doing such a thing.

“Not only has this person imprisoned these Nascent Soul Cultivators, they are also trying to extort all the large Nascent Soul sects. Without paying the ransom, these Nascent Soul Cultivators won’t be able to go out.”

“Damn it, with the power of one, they are extorting all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea. This is unprecedented. This is probably the most fearsome kidnapper in the history of Canglan Sea, aren’t they afraid of dying young?”

“What is there to be afraid of? Staying on the island of Ku Rong Sect, with the protection of a fifth-level formation, who among the Nascent Soul forces can break this fifth-level formation? It can even be said to be absolutely safe.”

“The problem is that one can only stay on the island. Once they leave the island, they will surely become a target. They will be targeted by all major Nascent Soul forces and find it hard to move an inch.”

“Stupid, since they dared to do this, they must have foreseen this outcome. The puppet master pulling the strings, no doubt, is waiting for their cultivation to advance to the Divinity Transformation Realm before leaving the island. Then, it’s not a matter of the major Nascent Soul forces dealing with him, but worrying about that puppet master dealing with all the Nascent Soul forces in the Canglan Sea.”

“Could it be that they are so confident of becoming a God Transformation Cultivator?”

“I am not sure about that, but as long as they stay on this island, they are invincible.”

The cultivators discussed amongst themselves.

Undoubtedly, the kidnapping and extortion incident would cause a sensation in the entire Canglan Sea.

After all, in its tens of thousands of years of history, who had ever done such a thing as to kidnap so many Nascent Soul Cultivators at once, making him the most powerful kidnapper in history, unprecedented?
