Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Counter-kill the Lu Family’s Cultivator, Enter the Dream and Soul Search_i Translator: 549690339 At that moment, right after Zhou Sui left the Treasure Pavilion, he immediately sensed a few gazes falling onto himself from within the pavilion, seemingly with ill intentions. “Joking, right? Didn’t they say the Treasure Pavilion is the most reputable shop throughout Misty Cloud City? There’s never been an incident of someone getting killed and robbed, so what’s going on now?” “Right, maybe there actually have been incidents. It’s just that those robbed were already deceased.” “The dead naturally have no way to reveal the truth.” “Damn it, Treasure Pavilion. They dare to call themselves the masters of Misty Cloud City. Even though they’re already the City Lord, they’re still into killing and plundering, shameless to the extreme.” Zhou Sui clenched his fist. Though he had braced himself for such an event to a certain extent, he still felt a sorrow for this world. This world isn’t devoid of decent people, just that they’re too few. Even if there are, most probably have been killed not leaving much chance for survival. His previous caution was indeed correct. Without sufficient power, it was truly suicidal to reveal possession of a significant amount of spiritual stones. Now, he merely revealed tens of thousands of lower-grade spiritual stones that attracted enemies in his wake. The Lu family, the former overlords of Misty Cloud City, had him in their sights. However, now there were no hints of him being terrified. Because now he isn’t as he previously was. Having advanced to the fifth level of Qi Cultivation, his cultivation underwent a significant leap, especially his Dream Soul Gu, which had reached a first-grade superior level, equivalent to the cultivator of late Qi cultivation. How can an ordinary late Qi Cultivation cultivator withstand the power of the Dream Soul Gu? An attack from the soul isn’t easy to resist. To those cultivators at the stage of Qi Cultivation, it’s like fighting on a higher plane. Of less importance now, this was only a clone of him. If he should fail, it would only result in the loss of a clone, which wouldn’t harm his main body. “Humph, if you wish to kill me, you’d better be prepared to be killed.” A cold glint in Zhou Sui’s eyes revealed itself, but he acted as if he hadn’t noticed the range of those Lu family cultivators following him. He moved left and right, arriving at an isolated alley in Misty Cloud City, where few people ventured. The Lu family cultivators who had followed him were delighted. “What’s going on? What is this lad trying to do running left and right like this?” “I had thought this man was going to leave the city. I had planned to deal with him outside the city, but he chose to stay within.” “This lad probably thought he would be safer within the city, ignorant of the fact that this is our Lu family’s territory.” “Hehe, this loose cultivator surely has a significant secret, maybe he got the inheritance of some Foundation Establishment cultivator. Otherwise, how could he suddenly produce so many spiritual stones.” “Whether there is a secret or not, we just need to capture him and put him through severe torture. There is no need to guess anything.” “Perfect, he’s so foolish to come to this desolate place. Also, there’s no one nearby, perfect to strike immediately and capture him. I’m interested in seeing what he is hiding.” The eyes of the three Lu family cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation and one at the eighth level, were filled with a ruthless light. They did not hesitate to launch their magic to attack Zhou Sui. Booming- Instantly, there emerged a wave of secret soul fluctuations in the air, instantly covering hundreds of meters radius, completely enveloping the entire area. What?! The four Lu family cultivators were stupefied. They were taken aback to find their bodies unable to move as if under the effect of the fixation skill, trapped in an illusion. The problem was, they had no idea when they were targeted. Each of them stood dumbly, their mouths gaping like idiots, as if they had seen the things they desired most in their hearts. This was the one of the capabilities of the Dream Soul Gu: Dream Invasion! Once this skill is used, it can silently pull all the enemies within range into a dreamland. “The power of a first-grade superior Dream Soul Gu is indeed immense!” At this moment, the voice of Zhou Sui’s clone appeared in front of the Lu family cultivators. He was astonished by the power of the Dream Soul Gu. For the ordinary late Qi Cultivation cultivator, it’s truly overwhelming. Without a soul protecting magic artifact, cultivators are almost doomed to die from a single blow, with no chance of resistance. Merely with a thought, these Lu family cultivators were instantly pulled into a dream, without a shred of power to resist. “Die!” Zhou Sui didn’t have any interest in exchanging words with these Lu family cultivators. With a light touch, the energy of true Yuan pierced through the brows of these four Lu cultivators, creating bloody holes with blood gushing out. “This!” “When…when did you notice us?” “Impossible, how could a mere loose cultivator be so powerful?” “It’s fake, right? We are… dead? When did he make a move?!” The immense pain allowed these four Lu family cultivators to pull themselves out of the dreamland. They saw Zhou Sui who had appeared in front of them, their pupils contracted, reflecting their extreme horror. They had absolutely no idea that their whereabouts had been exposed. The realization dawned upon them at this moment that this seemingly insignificant cultivator in front of them was playing the part of a pig to eat the tiger. But now, it was already too late for struggle and for regret. With a bang, they fell to the ground, their eyes wide open in disbelief, refusing to close even in death. “Soul Search!” Without any hesitation, Zhou Sui used the second ability of Dream Soul Gu, Soul Search. This ability was even more ruthless than the ‘Soul Search Technique’ of the Demonic Sect. The Demonic Sect’s ‘Soul Search Technique’ could only get a part of the memory, and most of the memory would be missing, making it sometimes impossible to gain the desired intelligence. But the ‘Soul Search’ ability of the Dream Soul Gu could glean the complete soul memory from the enemy, not missing even a bit. Whoosh- Instantly, a vast memory flowed into the body of the Dream Soul Gu, which was then digested and absorbed by it. Simultaneously, the energy of the pure soul was devoured by the Dream Soul Gu, to augment its inner strength and to promote its evolution. Apart from relying on its host to grow, it can also devour the souls of other creatures to promote its own growth. “So it’s like that. It’s indeed the Lu family cultivators. I hadn’t expected the prestigious Lu family to stoop so low, almost equivalent to looters.” “Moreover, the recent chaos in Misty Cloud City, it turns out, has a significant connection with the Lu family, who might even be the puppeteers behind it all.” “No cultivator’s family is decent.” In an instant, Zhou Sui, with the retrieved memories of the Lu family cultivators, understood the full picture. The man pulling the strings was Lu Ming, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion. Due to the current unfavorable situation of the Lu family, where the old ancestors were on the verge of perishing, the Lu family was desperate. In the shadows, they’d become like looters, murdering loose cultivators one by one, and amassing wealth. He happened to be one of those who had caught their attention..
