Translator: 549690339

Sensing the memories of a few cultivators from the Lu family, Zhou Sui immediately drew a sharp breath.

Though he had known long ago that this world was fraught with danger, a cruel world where people preyed on each other, he never thought that the Lu family, the ruler of Misty Cloud City, could be so vicious.

If he hadn’t been extremely careful, he likely would have been killed in the turmoil deliberately fomented by the Lu family.

“After returning home, I must seclude myself and improve my cultivation,” he resolved.

“I won’t leave the house until I’ve reached the Late Qi Cultivation Stage.” Zhou Sui clenched his fists, a sense of urgency surging within him.

Without a doubt, the Lu family had completely lost their minds, and if their patriarch should fall, the whole family could be exterminated.

As prominent as the Lu family had been in the past, so would be the tragedy after their patriarch’s death.

Even if the Lu Family sought the protection of the Immortal Mist Sect, the number that would survive would still be few and far between.

After all, the Immortal Mist Sect wasn’t a retirement home. They couldn’t possibly protect every member of the Lu family, only those who were valuable. But the Lu family was so large, having grown over the course of two hundred years to a population of over ten thousand.

Surely they couldn’t let everyone but the family heirs die.

He was aware of this, and the people of the Lu family must know it as well.

Thus, before the patriarch’s death, these members of the Lu family would certainly grab as much as they could.

Once they’ve gotten enough, they would promptly flee from Misty Cloud City to settle elsewhere under a changed name.

“Thankfully, these storage bags don’t have any markings left by the Lu family.” Zhou Sui, using the Dream Soul Gu, scanned with his Divine Sense and discerned that these storage bags, owned by four cultivators from the Lu family, bore no traces left by the Lu family.

After all, his Divine Sense was on par with that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; they couldn’t hide anything from him. He would detect anything left by ordinary Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators in an instant.

Moreover, the Lu family was merely a Foundation Establishment family that had thousands of descendants.

Apart from a few important family members, the rest probably wouldn’t have any special protection measures.

Also, items he bought from the Treasure Pavilion like the Heritage Jade Record, the pill prescriptions, the pill cauldrons, amongst others, had been scanned by his Divine Sense. They bore no special markings.

“Nevertheless, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“Cultivators in this world have numerous and bizarre tactics. One never knows when they might be caught off guard.”

“First, have my clone take these treasures out of the city. When some time has passed and there is no sign of trouble, then it can return.”

Zhou Sui waved his hand, casting the Fireball Technique to instantly incinerate the corpses of the four Lu family cultivators, reducing them to ashes. He then flew towards the outskirts of the city.

Since he was just a clone, even if the Lu family did find him, they’d only destroy his clone.

As long as he gets out of the city and hides in an arbitrary location, he believes nobody would be able to find him.

This way, he wouldn’t involve his main body.

But before going, he handed over the storage bag, which stored a large amount of Spirit Meat and Spirit Rice, to another one of his clones to take back to his main body.

After all, these supplies had nothing to do with the Lu family. There was no chance they bore any hidden tactics, they were completely safe to take back to his main body.

In fact, Zhou Sui could currently cultivate up to five clones.

One clone was in charge of surveillance, one was responsible for shopping, one was responsible for support, and two were on standby.

A few hours later.

Lu Ming, the shopkeeper staying at the Treasure Pavilion, looked extremely unwell. The more time passed, the worse his countenance became.

To the point now where his face resembled charred coal, he was in utter panic. “They still haven’t returned at this time, could they already be dead?” Shopkeeper Lu Ming clenched his fist. Under normal circumstances, four cultivators in the Late Qi Cultivation Stage ambushing a cultivator in the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer should have been an easy catch. It shouldn’t have taken much time at all.

But now, hours had passed with no sign of his subordinates’ return.

Without a doubt, his men were likely dead or dying.

“It seems I underestimated that Loose Cultivator. That bastard isn’t a Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer cultivator at all. He’s definitely at the Late Qi Cultivation Stage, or even possibly a great cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.” Shopkeeper Lu Ming took a deep breath, knowing he had definitely misjudged this time.

Just one misjudgment had led to the loss of four cultivators in the Late Qi Cultivation Stage. The loss was massive.

To the already precarious Lu family, this was a heavy blow.

Upon realising this, he knew that this matter was far too serious to be resolved by himself.

If the Lu family elders found out about this, he would undoubtedly be sentenced to death.

So he quickly made his way to the Lu family and sought out the eldest elder of the Lu family, informing him of the situation.

With a smack, upon hearing these words, the eldest elder of the Lu family slapped Lu Ming in the face, knocking him to the ground. Five distinct red finger imprints appeared on his face; he was close to spitting out his teeth.

“You idiot, I have already told you that now is a precarious time for our Lu family! If a matter can be avoided it should be, but instead you went to be a bandit, and you even got four Late Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators of our family killed.”

The eldest elder of the Lu family was livid.

“I’m sorry, Elder, I had no choice. It’s precisely because the Lu family is in a precarious situation, and we’re greatly short of spirit stones. Just by conducting business, how much can we possibly earn?

The reason why I acted as a bandit was also for the sake of the Lu family. I wanted to earn more spirit stones so that the Lu family could buy another Foundation Pill and give birth to another Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

Shopkeeper Lu Ming knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, claiming that he had no selfish motives and that he was acting for the public good.

“You, you!”

Hearing these words, the Lu family’s eldest elder’s hand trembling with anger, but in the end, he sighed and showed mercy.

Because he knew that the man was telling the truth.

After all, not only was he acting as a bandit at the moment, but many of the Lu family members were as well.

It was only because Lu Ming failed that he was being rebuked. If he had succeeded, there would be no issue at all.

“Elder, we must avenge them. They are members of our Lu family, and now they’ve been killed by that loose cultivator. That’s a slap in the face to us. I want that loose cultivator to die.”

“Also, I’ve tampered with that Heritage Jade Record, leaving a unique scent. As long as we use scent bugs, we can track it, and find that loose cultivator’s weak spot.”

Shopkeeper Lu Ming’s eyes were filled with a hateful glare as he roared his desire for revenge.

Enough. Let this matter go. Don’t hunt down the loose cultivator.”

The Lu family’s eldest elder waved his hand.

“Why?”

Shopkeeper Lu Ming was shocked. He never thought the Lu family would give up on hunting down the murderer. This was inconsistent with the domineering style and character of the Lu family.

“Foolish, can’t you understand yet? If that loose cultivator can instantly kill four Late Qi Cultivation stage cultivators from our Lu family, his cultivation level must be at least at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer. Unless we send out a number of our Lu family Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer cultivators, we can’t do anything to him. In fact, we might even be killed in return by him.”

The eldest elder of the Lu family wore a grave expression..
