"So what are you getting at with these remarks?"
Zhou Sui naturally knew that his old neighbor didn't make courtesy calls without a reason, and there must be something he needed, hence his visit.
"Actually, it's like this. I am aware that your Cultivation partner is a Cultivator of the nineth layer of Qi Cultivation, and you even live with two women who are at the Late Qi Cultivation stage."
Zhang Cheng shamelessly said, "Even the most rampant marauding Cultivators wouldn't dare to provoke three Cultivators at the Late Qi Cultivation stage at the same time. So, the rest of us neighbors have discussed and decided to ask if we could temporarily live next to your house. If there did happen to be a marauding Cultivator appearing, we could watch out for each other."
He straightforwardly stated his intentions.
In fact, he also represented the neighborhood in seeking help from Zhou Sui.
After all, the strongest Cultivator on this street right now is Ji Bingyu, and the rest of the Cultivators are mostly at the midway stage of Qi Cultivation. The difference between them and those at the Late Qi Cultivation stage is immense.
"Of course, we won't stay for long, at most for a month. By then, when the cultivators who went to the Misty Mountains return, the safety of Misty Cloud City will certainly return to normal."
Zhang Cheng said in a hurry.
He made it clear that these neighbors wouldn't stay too long, at most a month.
"Fine, you can stay nearby my house, but I can't guarantee your safety."
After thinking it over carefully, Zhou Sui agreed.
Because even if he refused, these neighbors would still swarm around, and he couldn't stop them. It would be better for him to agree, and do them a favor.
Obviously, these neighbors only wanted to use the prestige of the Late Stage Qi Cultivators to deter these marauding Cultivators.
"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Daoist Zhou."
Zhang Cheng was overjoyed.
His emotions were bittersweet at this moment. He used to think that Zhou Sui, who had married an older woman Cultivator, would definitely be used as a furnace by her, and be drained clean.
But now, not only is he safe and sound, his cultivation has also advanced by leaps and bounds.
He even had to go to Zhou Sui for help himself.
The uncertainties in this world couldn't be compared with anything else.
If someone had told him a year ago that he would be seeking help from Zhou Sui, a young man, he would not have believed it even if he were beaten to death.
"Alright, that's it for now, I need to return to my cultivation."
Zhou Sui issued a notice of dismissal.
Upon hearing Zhou Sui's words, Zhang Cheng quickly departed, and the Cultivator neighbors hiding around immediately congregated, asking about the situation.
"How did it go? Has Daoist Zhou, no, has Daoist Zhou agreed?"
A Cultivator couldn't wait to ask.
"Daoist Zhou agreed, he will allow us to use his reputation, but he won't guarantee our safety."
Zhang Cheng answered.
"That's more than enough. With all of us Qi Cultivation midway stage Cultivators banding together, and then adding the menace of Late Qi Cultivation stage Cultivators any marauding Cultivators, no matter how wild, wouldn't dare to provoke us."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Cultivators relaxed, greatly relieved.
Because sometimes, a reputation is enough to deter many marauding Cultivators.
After all, these marauding Cultivators are not fools. They are all bullies who take advantage of the weak, and if they truly encounter a tough opponent, it's very likely they could be killed in return, leading to their death and their Dao disappearing.
Everyone is after immortality, and who would risk their life to kill and rob others?
If they fail to kill and instead get killed themselves, that would be too risky.
Every marauding Cultivator would weigh the pros and cons, and determine if their actions are worth it.
"We really have to thank Daoist Zhou this time. I've known since childhood that he would be successful when he grew up."
"Isn't that true? Although his cultivation is average, his eye for women is excellent."
"Indeed, who could have imagined that a woman Cultivator in the Late Qi Cultivation Stage would marry no one but him, and even offer herself."
"Only goes to show, comparing people can really get one upset. If you're a man like Daoist Zhou, life is worth living."
"It's said that there are two more women at the Late Qi Cultivation Stage living at Daoist Zhou's house. Did he also marry them?"
"Impossible, that's too exaggerated. Even a toad longing for swan meat can't eat that much. Eating one swan is already amazing, let alone three at a time. That's crazy!"
"Regardless, we have to thank Daoist Zhou. Without him, we might have been in great danger this time."
"Sigh, who could have expected that the situation in Misty Cloud City would deteriorate to such an extent."
The numerous Cultivators chattered among themselves, expressing their anxiety about the security situation in Misty Cloud City.
Originally, they had been living in Misty Cloud City without facing too much danger. Who could have thought that the Immortal Mist Sect would suddenly arrive, throwing the area around the Misty Mountains into chaos.
......
At this moment, Zhou Rui had also returned home. He told Ji Bingyu and the other women about recent events, warning them not to go out casually due to the increase of marauders.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know what kind of threats they might run into.
Even if you are a Late Qi Cultivation stage Cultivator, it's hard to say whether you can survive if you are attacked by surprise.
Especially since the environment in Misty Cloud City is extremely harsh right now, with strangers everywhere.
No one knows how many careless Cultivators have died at the hands of weaker Cultivators, this is already a common occurrence.
"Rest assured, husband. If these marauding Cultivators dare to come here, they will undoubtedly die. I'd like to see if they can withstand my sword."
Ji Bingyu said calmly, emitting a faint killing aura.
She is an unparalleled Sword Cultivator, fierce and invincible, rightfully named as unbeatable among her peers.
"I have prepared a lot of first-grade superior talismans. If these marauding Cultivators do come, they will surely suffer heavy losses." Mu Ziyi clenched her small fist.
As a first-grade superior Talisman Master, she had already prepared dozens of top-grade talismans, such as the Fire Symbol, Cold Ice Symbol, and Thunder Symbol. Each top-grade talisman has the power of a single strike from a late-stage Qi Cultivator.
If dozens of top-grade talismans were thrown at them, even a Cultivator on the nineth layer of Qi Cultivation would be pulverized.
"I have also modified the formation in the house, adding a first-grade defensive formation and an offensive formation. Even if seven or eight late-stage Qi Cultivators attack, they won't be able to escape."
Xia Jingyan said confidently.
She is a first-grade superior Array Master with a high aptitude for formations.
Previously, when they were surviving in the wilderness, they had relied on her to set up temporary formations to avoid numerous dangers.
"Hmm, well done."
Hearing these words, Zhou Sui immediately felt reassured and safe. They were indeed his Cultivation partners, truly brilliant and much stronger than him.
He was fortunate to have such strong figures on his side. If he had only relied on himself, in the face of the threat of marauding Cultivators, he would probably be living in constant anxiety.
He believes that, no matter how arrogant these marauding Cultivators are, they would not dare to intrude into his territory.
If there are really any marauding Cultivators who dare to come, he can simply make an example of them and let them see how formidable his Cultivation partners are.
At this moment, he quite felt like he was riding on the coattails of others.
