Chapter 93: Slipping Away, Entering the Underground Shelter

"Bone-Burning Soul-Melting Pill?!"

The expressions of the many Loose Cultivators changed drastically.

How could they not recognize this Poison Pill? This Poison Pill was simply notorious.

It is an extremely slow-acting poison that must lie dormant in the body for a year and a half before taking effect. Once it takes effect, it entwines with the bones and can never be cleared from the body, flaring up on schedule every winter until it tortures the person to death.

Once one is afflicted with this Poison Pill, unless the other party provides the antidote, one will be controlled by them for the rest of one's life.

Clearly, this group of Lu Family Cultivators and Xianxia Sect Cultivators basically had no intention of leaving a way for the Loose Cultivators to live.

"What's wrong? Unwilling to take this Bone-Burning Soul-Melting Pill?!"

"Let me tell you honestly, every Cultivator who joins the Patrol Guard Army needs to take this Pill."

"Otherwise, if a spy from the Youmo Sect were to sneak in, how would we have any lives left?"

"If you don't want to take it, then you are a Youmo Sect spy and must be executed immediately."

"Of course, you don't need to worry; we will control you permanently."

"As long as the Youmo Sect's offensive is repelled, we will immediately offer the antidote."

"At that time, you will be able to regain your freedom immediately."

The Lu Family Elder smiled slightly, using both threats and inducements on this group of Loose Cultivators.

He stated that this was merely a temporary means of control; if they could repel the Youmo Sect, the antidote would be offered immediately, and they would absolutely not continue to control them.

Hearing these words, the expressions of the many Loose Cultivators remained very ugly.

They were not three-year-old children; how could they easily believe the words spoken by the other party?

Even if the Youmo Sect Cultivators really retreated, whether the other party gave the antidote or not was still just a matter of their word.

If they didn't give it, could they really do anything to them?

However, when one is under someone else's roof, how can one not bow one's head?

In Miyun City, wanting to contend with the Lu Family and Xianxia Sect Cultivators was simply a pipe dream.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they still chose to take this Bone-Burning Soul-Melting Pill.

In any case, they would survive for now, and it wouldn't be too late to look for a chance to break free later.

This was also the thought of many Loose Cultivators; they couldn't just be killed by the Lu Family Cultivators right now.

"Not bad, not bad."

Seeing that these Loose Cultivators had taken the Bone-Burning Soul-Melting Pill, the Lu Family Elder felt very satisfied.

In this way, these Loose Cultivators were completely under their control, their lives and deaths hanging by a single thought.

"Congratulations, Elder. After controlling this batch of Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators, the remaining Cultivators are nothing to fear," a Lu Family Cultivator said with great joy.

"Haha, it is all thanks to everyone's hard work."

The Lu Family Elder laughed heartily and stroked his gray beard: "Which family do you plan to go to next? How many more Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivators have not joined our Patrol Guard Army?"

He wanted to continue to press the advantage and drag all the remaining Loose Cultivators into the Patrol Guard Army to serve as soldiers.

The entire Miyun City was not allowed to have any unexpected factors.

"Elder, there is one more family nearby. It seems there are three female Cultivators at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and one male Cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. They basically cultivate at home and rarely go out."

"Over the past half year, we have sent people to invite them to join the Patrol Guard Army several times, but they have all been refused."

A Lu Family Cultivator spoke up.

"What? Ignorant things, they simply refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Facing the recruitment of our Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect, they actually dare to refuse. They simply do not know what is good for them."

"Fine, since they don't want to be decent, then we will make them decent."

A Cold Glow appeared in the Lu Family Elder's eyes.

As long as they were in Miyun City, no Cultivator was allowed to escape the control of the Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect.

Especially the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Cultivators; the threat was simply too great.

If they could not submit, then they could only be sent to their deaths.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~

Immediately, the Lu Family Cultivators headed toward the direction of Zhou Sui's home.

…………

At this very moment, staying at home, Zhou Sui also received this news instantly. A Cold Glow appeared in his eyes, and his expression began to turn very serious.

"What's wrong? Husband, has something happened?"

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan, the three women, immediately saw Zhou Sui's expression.

"Trouble has come. The Lu Family Cultivators and Xianxia Sect Cultivators are currently conscripting people throughout the city."

"All Loose Cultivators must obediently join the Patrol Guard Army, or else they will die."

"Now, even giving Spirit Stones is useless; they want to control the power of every Loose Cultivator."

Zhou Sui immediately told the three women what had just happened.

After all, this matter was of great importance and concerned their future.

"This Lu Family and Xianxia Sect are simply too overbearing. They clearly want us dead."

"It was one thing to collect high rent before, but now they actually want our lives."

"It would be best if the Youmo Sect killed their way in right now and finished off this bunch of bastards."

Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyan, and Xia Jingyan, the three women, gritted their teeth.

This was simply a case of sitting at home when disaster fell from the sky.

Clearly, they had tried their best not to hold grudges against others and had kept a low profile, but they were still targeted.

They wished the Youmo Sect Cultivators would kill their way in right now and finish off that group of Lu Family Cultivators and Xianxia Sect Cultivators.

It would be best if both sides fought like dogs, leaving nothing but fur, so as to vent the hatred in my heart.

"There is no need to clash head-on with them; this is the territory of the Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect."

"They are numerous, control a Second-Tier Array, and even have a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

"If we fight them head-on, our chances of winning are slim, and even if we win, there won't be much benefit."

"Instead, it might just benefit the Cultivators of the Youmo Sect."

"Let us abandon this stronghold and enter the Underground Shelter."

Zhou Sui took a deep breath and immediately made his decision.

Although he still wanted to cultivate at home, the current situation left him no choice.

If he continued to cultivate at home, he would certainly be captured by the Cultivators of the Lu Family and the Xianxia Sect and forced to take a Poison Pill.

By then, he would not even be able to control his own life or death.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall; there was no need for him to fight them to the bitter end.

Especially when the other side had strength in numbers.

"Alright, husband, we can leave right now; there is basically nothing much that needs to be taken."

"That's right, we made plans long ago, and many Treasures have already been brought to the Underground Shelter."

"We only need to take some food and the like; only an empty shell will be left for them."

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

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Having said that, Zhou Sui did not hesitate; he immediately packed up the things in the house, took his three Dao Companions, entered the tunnel in the backyard, and followed it to the shelter hundreds of meters underground.

As for this tunnel, he naturally let the Gold-Eating Insect take action, moving a large amount of soil to completely fill the entire underground tunnel and this entrance, forming a solid layer of earth.

In this way, no one would know that an underground tunnel existed in this place.

No matter how hard that group of Lu Family Cultivators and Xianxia Sect Cultivators racked their brains, they would never imagine that they were hiding hundreds of meters underground.

After finishing these tasks, that group of Lu Family Cultivators and Xianxia Sect Cultivators finally arrived.
