Chapter 22: The Requests of Neighboring Cultivators, Full of Security

"Then what do you mean by telling me all this?"

Zhou Sui naturally knew that this old neighbor wouldn't visit without a reason; he must have been seeking something to have taken the initiative to come over.

"Actually, it's like this. I also know that your Dao Companion, Daoist Zhou, is a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator, and there are even two other female Cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage living with you."

Zhang Cheng fawned with a thick skin, "No matter how rampant those Robber Cultivators are, they wouldn't dare provoke three Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators at once. So, we neighbors discussed it and wondered if we could temporarily reside next to your house. That way, if any Robber Cultivators really do appear, we can look out for one another."

He stated his purpose straightforwardly.

In fact, he was also representing the neighbors in seeking help from Zhou Sui.

After all, the strongest Cultivator on this street right now was Ji Bingyu; the other Cultivators were basically at the Qi Refining Mid-Stage, and compared to the Qi Refining Late Stage, the gap was truly too vast.

"Of course, we won't stay for too long; a month at most will be enough. By then, once the Cultivators who went to the Cloud Mist Mountain Range return, the public security of Miyun City will surely be restored to what it once was."

Zhang Cheng added hurriedly.

He indicated that they, the neighbors, would not stay for a long time, at most a month.

"Fine, you may live near my house, but I cannot guarantee your safety."

After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Sui agreed.

Because even if he didn't agree, these neighbors would swarm over anyway, and he couldn't stop them; it was better to just agree and do them a favor.

Clearly, these neighbors just wanted to use the reputation of a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator to deter those outsider Robber Cultivators.

"That is truly wonderful, thank you, Daoist Zhou."

Zhang Cheng was ecstatic.

His heart was filled with mixed emotions at this moment; previously, he had thought that since Zhou Sui had married an older female Cultivator, he would surely be treated as a Cauldron by her and drained completely.

But now, not only was the other party safe and sound, but his cultivation had also progressed by leaps and bounds.

He even had to personally come to his door and beg him for help.

The affairs of the world are unpredictable, and this is the perfect example.

If someone had told him a year ago that he would be begging a greenhorn like Zhou Sui, he wouldn't have believed it even if he were beaten to death.

"Alright, that's enough, I need to go back to cultivate."

Zhou Sui issued an order to leave.

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng left immediately, and the neighbors hiding nearby swarmed up to ask about the situation.

"How was it? Kid Zhou—no, did Daoist Zhou agree?"

A Cultivator asked impatiently.

"Daoist Zhou agreed to let us use his name, but he won't guarantee our safety."

Zhang Cheng replied.

"That's enough, that's perfectly enough. If we Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators stick together, plus the threat of a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator, no matter how rampant those Robber Cultivators are, they won't dare to provoke us."

Hearing this, the surrounding Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Because sometimes, a name alone is enough to deter many Robber Cultivators.

After all, those Robber Cultivators are not fools; they are all bullies who fear the strong. If they really encountered a tough nut to crack, they would easily be killed in return and perish.

Everyone is a person chasing longevity; who would risk their life to kill and seize treasures for such high stakes?

In the end, they might not even kill the person and would instead end up dead themselves.

Every Robber Cultivator weighs the pros and cons to see if doing so is truly worth it.

"I am truly grateful to Daoist Zhou this time. Ever since he was a child, I knew he would amount to something when he grew up."

"Isn't that so? Although his cultivation was ordinary, his eye for women is incredible."

"That is indeed true. Who would have thought that a Qi Refining Late Stage female Cultivator would insist on marrying him, and even provide for him?"

"One can only say that comparing people is infuriating. To be a man like Daoist Zhou, it's worth it."

"It is said that there are two other Qi Refining Late Stage female Cultivators living in Daoist Zhou's house. Could it be that they have also been married by Daoist Zhou?"

"Impossible, that would be too exaggerated. A toad eating swan meat shouldn't be like this; eating one swan is already amazing, but eating three at once is just too ridiculous."

"But regardless, we must thank Daoist Zhou. Without him, we would likely be in danger this time."

"Sigh, who could have imagined that the situation in Miyun City would deteriorate to this extent."

The many Cultivators discussed it, and thinking of the situation in Miyun City, everyone was filled with worry.

Originally, they were living just fine in Miyun City and had never encountered much danger. Who could have imagined that the sudden arrival of the Xianxia Sect would cause such chaos near the Cloud Mist Mountain Range?

…………

At this very moment, Zhou Sui had also returned home and spoke to Ji Bingyu and the others about this matter, stating that since Robber Cultivators were rampant recently, they should not go out casually.

Otherwise, there is no telling what kind of threats they might encounter.

Even for a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator, it is hard to say if one could survive an ambush.

Especially since the environment in Miyun City is now particularly harsh, with outsider Cultivators everywhere.

It is not uncommon for many careless Cultivators to die miserably at the hands of weaker Cultivators.

"Rest assured, husband. If those Robber Cultivators dare to come, they will surely die. I would like to see if those Robber Cultivators can withstand the sharp sword in my hand."

Ji Bingyu said indifferently, a faint murderous aura permeating her body.

She herself is a supreme Sword Cultivator, peerless in slaughter, and can be called invincible among her peers.

"I have prepared many First-tier High-grade Talismans. If those Robber Cultivators come, I will definitely make them suffer heavy losses." Mu Ziyan clenched her small fists.

As a First Rank High Grade Talisman Master, she had long since produced dozens of High-grade Talismans, such as Fire Talismans, Ice Talismans, Lightning Talismans, and so on; each High-grade Talisman possessed the power of a strike from a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator.

If dozens of High-grade Talismans were thrown at once, even a Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivator would be beaten to death.

"I have also modified the arrays in our home, adding a First-tier Defensive Array and an Offensive Array. Even if seven or eight Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators were to attack, they would never return."

Xia Jingyan said proudly.

She is a First Rank High Grade Array Master with extremely high talent in the Array Dao.

Previously, when surviving in the wild, it was by relying on the temporary Array she set up that their team was able to avoid many, many dangers.

"Mm, not bad."

Hearing this, Zhou Sui immediately felt relieved and suddenly felt full of a sense of security; she was indeed worthy of being his Dao Companion, truly overflowing with genius, far stronger than himself.

Fortunately, he had such several powerful backers; if he had relied solely on himself, he would likely have been unable to eat or sleep in peace when facing the threat of Robber Cultivators.

He believed that even if those Robber Cultivators were arrogant, they would not dare to trespass into the territory where he was located.

If there were truly any of these Robber Cultivators who did not know life from death and dared to come over, then he could kill the chicken to warn the monkey and let them know the prowess of his Dao Companion.

Right now, he had quite a feeling of a fox borrowing the tiger's might.
