24 Chapter 24: The Death of Robber Xi, A Peaceful Life_1
At this moment, Zhou Sui, who had just finished his dual cultivation, was holding his two beautiful Dao companions in his arms. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He had also received a series of messages from his clone, and a look of joy crossed his face.
By now, he had learned about his clone's feat of killing the Misty Cloud Trio and taking all their treasures.
Of course, what made him incredibly overjoyed was that after this battle, he finally understood the true extent of his own strength.
"I've actually managed to kill three Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators. This means that with my current combat power, I should be able to protect myself in Misty Cloud City."
Zhou Sui was thrilled.
Previously, when he had just arrived in this world, he was terrified, fearing that the cultivators around him could kill him with a single slap, and there would be nowhere for him to complain if he died.
After all, there were no laws in this world, and those with lower cultivation had no rights.
But now everything was different. His cultivation had advanced to the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, and with the power of the Dream Soul Gu, he could instantly kill Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer cultivators. His combat power was unmatched.
News of this would definitely shake Misty Cloud City.
If he didn't have any power to protect himself in Misty Cloud City, then there would be no guarantee for his life and property.
Only now did he feel a little sense of security.
Granted, he had two Dao companions to protect him, so there shouldn't be any significant danger.
But after all, it was safer if he himself had strength.
"No, I can't be too arrogant. I'm only at the Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer at the moment, just a small fry."
"Leaving aside the question of whether I can be invincible during Qi Cultivation Stage, even if I am, there are Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Golden Core Masters in this world."
"If I accidentally offend these cultivators, I might die without even knowing how."
Thinking of this, Zhou Sui calmed down. The excitement in his heart had also faded. After all, his current cultivation level was still too low to start being arrogant.
Who knows how many arrogant cultivators died just because of a moment's carelessness.
Even disciples who are from sects may fall under the sneak attacks of other cultivators.
No matter how talented they are, if they do not grow up, they are just weak and insignificant."
"However, the power of the Clone Gu is indeed infinitely useful. I can stay at home and cultivate while my clone can wander around. Even if it dies, I can always condense another one at any time, and it can't affect my main body."
"If coupled with the power of the Dream Soul Gu, it would indeed be unstoppable."
Zhou Sui stroked his chin.
He was now starting to understand how to cultivate the Insect God Sutra. The combination of Gu and Gu is extremely important, and sometimes it can have an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
"Husband, why are you looking so happy?"
Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi both noticed Zhou Sui's expression and asked curiously.
"Nothing, I figured out some problems. Let's do it again to celebrate."
Zhou Sui replied nonchalantly.
What?!
Hearing these words, both Ji Bingyu and Mu Ziyi blushed, sighing in their hearts that their husband was truly a tireless bull, too vigorous.
...
The night passed in a flash.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a group of cultivator neighbors began to flock to the streets.
At this moment, Zhou Sui, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan, among others, woke up and heard the noise outside.
"Have you heard? Last night the Misty Cloud Trio came here with ill intentions and met their dreadful end."
"What? Misty Cloud Trio? The infamous band of thieves? I heard they were Late Qi Cultivation cultivators, notorious killers, with numerous cultivators dead at their hands. Who could have the power to kill them?"
"I don't know, no one knows who did it. It seems that the Misty Cloud Trio were killed by a mysterious person before they could even react; it's terrifying."
"It just goes to show, those who do evil can't escape retribution. Those three thieves have been bullying others for far too long. Maybe they were the ones who killed that Daoist Bai family. They've finally met their fate."
"Honestly, could it be possible that one of our fellow cultivators on this street did it?"
"Impossible. Only those few late-stage Qi Cultivation female cultivators can deal with the Misty Cloud Trio.
"So if it wasn't those three female cultivators who did it, who on earth did it? This is really strange."
"I think this might be a case of dog eat dog. Who knows how many treasures those thieves had accumulated? They were eyeing us loose cultivators, but couldn't other people eye them as well?"
"Indeed, each of those thieves must have had vast fortunes. Robbing us loose cultivators isn't as profitable as robbing those thieves; the rewards would certainly be greater."
"If that's the case, is it finally safe for us now that the Misty Cloud Trio are dead?"
"Naive! Do you think the Misty Cloud Trio were the only thieves out there? There are still many more."
"You're absolutely right. We still can't let our guard down unless the law enforcement team returns. We can't leave; otherwise, those thieves will pick us off one by one."
"Just endure for a bit longer. It's better than losing our lives."
The cultivators were all talking, and they were all excited because the death of the Misty Cloud Trio had lifted some of the pressures off their heads, making them feel much safer.
However, they were not a hundred percent safe.
After all, who knows how many thieves were hiding in Misty Cloud City? If they weren't careful, they might still fall into their hands.
In short, they would not let their guard down.
"Husband, it seems that some thieves died here last night."
Ji Bingyu heard the noise coming from outside too.
"Isn't that a good thing? If you often walk by the river, you might occasionally get your shoes wet. They want to rob other loose cultivators, while other cultivators might want to rob them as well. It's just the natural cycle."
Xia Jingyan thought this was only to be expected. She had long gotten used to things like this.
"You're right. Those cultivators think that robbing others is a shortcut, but they don't realize it is precisely this habit that kills them."
"Maybe they can get away with it once or twice, and even gain a lot."
"But all it takes is one misstep, and it's a dead end. Doing this kind of thing always ends in one's own downfall."
Zhou Sui also nodded seriously.
Honestly, he had been wary of walking down this path himself. If he got used to robbery, he would sooner or later end in disaster, and he wouldn't even know how he died.
"It's still better to stay in Misty Cloud City and sell Spiritual Wine and Spirit Talismans. This lets us earn spirit stones without any risk."
Mu Ziyi reflected on this.
She felt that these few months had been the most peaceful and happy times. There was no need to live on the streets, nor to worry about being killed and robbed by someone else.
As long as they stayed home, they could peacefully earn spirit stones and enhance their cultivation.
There was no better life than this.
