Chapter 93: 93: Escaping, Entering the

“Scorching Soul Pill?!”

The expressions of the loose cultivators changed drastically.

They recognized this poison pill, it was notorious.

It was an extremely slow acting poison, requiring a year and a half of incubation within the body before it would take effect. Once the poison commenced, it would infiltrate the bones, making it impossible to ever clear from the body. Every winter, it would relapse, tormenting the individual until death.

If one were poisoned with this pill, unless the antidote was provided by the perpetrator, the victim would be controlled by them for life.

Clearly, these cultivators from the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect essentially did not plan on leaving any chance of survival for the loose cultivators.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to take the Scorching Soul Pill?!”

“Let’s be honest, every cultivator joining the patrol army is required to take this pill.”

“Otherwise, if the spies of the Ghost Demon Sect infiltrate, none of us will live.”

“If you refuse to take the pill, you’ll be deemed spies of the Ghost Demon Sect and executed.”

“Of course, you don’t need to worry, we will control you permanently.”

“Once the Ghost Demon Sect’s attack is repelled, we will immediately administer the antidote.”

“At that time, you will regain your freedom.”

The elder from the Lu family gently smiled, using both threats and promises to persuade the loose cultivators.

He insisted that this was only a temporary measure of control. If they could repel the Ghost Demon Sect, then the antidote would immediately be given, and they would definitely not continue to control them.

Hearing these words, the expressions of the loose cultivators were still grim.

They were not naive children, how could they easily believe these claims?

Even if the cultivators of the Ghost Demon Sect were to retreat, whether the opponents would give them the antidote was still at their discretion.

If they chose not to give it, would they really be able to do anything about them?

But when one is under the eaves, one is compelled to bow their head.

In Misty Cloud City, trying to oppose the cultivators of the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect would be a pipe dream.

Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, they chose to swallow the Scorching Soul Pill.

At any rate, for now, survival comes first. They could look for an opportunity to break away later.

This was the consensus of the many loose cultivators. They couldn’t afford to lose their lives to the Lu family cultivators now.

“Very good.”

Seeing the loose cultivators ingesting the Scorching Soul Pill, the elder from the Lu family was very satisfied.

With this, these cultivators were completely under their control, with their lives hanging by a thread.

“Congratulations, Elder. Once we control these Late Qi Cultivation cultivators, the remaining ones will pose no threat,” a cultivator of the Lu family said with delight.

“Ha ha, all thanks to your efforts,” The elder from the Lu family laughed heartily, stroking his grey beard. “Where shall we go next? How many Late Qi Cultivation cultivators are left who have not joined our patrol army?”

He intended to seize the day, capturing all the remaining loose cultivators into their army.

Nothing must fall through the cracks in Misty Cloud City.

“Elder, there is still one family nearby. It seems there are three female cultivators at the Qi Cultivation ninth Layer and one male cultivator at the Qi Cultivation fourth Layer. They are generally at home cultivating and seldom go out,”

“In the past six months, we have sent people several times to invite them to join the patrol army, but we were always rejected.”

A cultivator from the Lu family spoke up.

“What? Ingrates who ignore their benefits, they refuse the wine they are toasted with but will be forced to drink when punished.”

“To refuse our Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect’s invitation, just shows their arrogance.”

“Never mind then, since they don’t want to save face, we will help them,” The elder from the Lu family’s eyes glittered coldly.

Not a single cultivator in Misty Cloud City was to be out of control of the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect.

Especially for those cultivators at the ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation, their threat was too great.

If they didn’t submit, then death was their only option.

Whizz, whizz, whizz—

Immediately, the cultivators from Lu family made their way towards Zhou Sui’s house.

At this moment, Zhou Sui, who was at home, abruptly received this information. His eyes glittered as his expression turned grave.

“What’s wrong, love? Has something happened?” Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan saw Zhou Sui’s expression change instantly.

“Trouble’s here. The Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect cultivators are forcefully recruiting men from all over the city.”

“All the loose cultivators have to unwillingly join the patrol troops, or face death.”

“Now, even offering Spirit Stones is useless. They want to control the power of every loose cultivator.”

Zhou Sui promptly informed the three women about the previous incident.

This matter was significant, affecting their future.

“These high-handed tactics of the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect are despicable. They simply want us dead.”

“We could tolerate the high rents, but now they’re after our lives.”

“It would be best if the Ghost Demon Sect charges in now and wipes them out,”

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan clenched their teeth in rage.

Trouble had come from the sky while they were quietly sitting at home.

Even though they had been trying their best to avoid making enemies and be discreet, they were still targeted.

They hoped that the cultivators from Ghost Demon Sect would storm in now and annihilate the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect cultivators.

It would be best if everyone ended up bruised and battered, easing their frustrations.

“There’s no need to clash with them directly. This is the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect’s territory.”

“They have the advantage of numbers, control the Second Stage grand formation, and even have cultivators who have achieved Foundation Establishment”

“There is not much hope of winning if we go into open battle with them, even if we do win, there would be few benefits.”

“Instead, we might end up benefiting the cultivators of Ghost Demon Sect.”

“Let’s abandon this stronghold and take refuge underground.”

Zhou Sui took a deep breath and made a decision.

Although he wanted to continue cultivating at home, the current situation wasn’t giving him a choice.

If he continued cultivating at home, he would surely be captured by the Lu family and Immortal Mist Sect cultivators and forced to take the poison pill.

At that time, he wouldn’t be able to control his life or death.

As the saying goes, wise men don’t stand under dangerous walls. He didn’t need to fight to the end with them.

Especially when the opponents were many and powerful.

“Alright, love. We can leave now, there’s basically not much to take.”

“Yes, we have made preparations long ago. All our treasures are already hidden in the underground refuge.”

“We just need to take some food and other essentials. They can have the empty shell.”

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan immediately said.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Zhou Sui started packing. He led the three women to the tunnel in the backyard. Following the tunnel, they reached the underground refuge several hundred meters underground.

As for the tunnel, they let the Gold Eating Bug handle it, bringing in large amounts of mud to completely fill the entire underground tunnel and the entrance, forming a sturdy layer of soil.

In this way, no one would know that there was an underground tunnel here.

Let those cultivators from the Lu family and the Immortal Mist Sect rack their brains, they would never figure out that they were hiding hundreds of meters underground.

Not long after they finished all of this, the cultivators of the Lu family and the Immortal Mist Sect finally arrived..
