I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chapter 8 - Cultists, pawns!

Chapter 8: Cultists, pawns!

Chu Xuan was actually in the part of the Chu family’s estate which seemed to be the easiest to sneak into.

The trees around the courtyard were denser, making it easier to hide in.

Poisonous smoke and flames could also spread faster, making it harder to extinguish.

Late at night, Chu Xuan ate a spirit-nourishing pill and was lying on the bed whilst nurturing his will.

With the strengthening of his will and the nurturing of the spirit-nourishing pill, Chu Xuan did not need to sleep at all. He could still maintain his vigor without it.

However, life was still meant to be enjoyed, so Chu Xuan would still sleep every now and then.

At this time, the two cultists outside the courtyard stopped moving forward.

They spotted the courtyard at the same time and looked at each other. They seemed to understand each other’s thoughts.

Then, they quietly approached the courtyard.

They stopped in front of the courtyard and communicated with each other through voice transmission.

“According to my intelligence, the one living here is Chu Qiuluo’s useless son who was expelled from the ancestral mansion.”

“What do you mean?”

“I think that the opportunity is here. If we manage to control him, our operation tonight will be smoother and more fruitful. We might even have a chance to put the poisonous smoke and fire straight into the Chu family’s ancestral mansion. Moreover, we can leave without anyone knowing.”

“Let’s do it. I happen to have a heart-deceiving pill with me. It will make him do as we say.”

The two heretics discussed and soon decided to control Chu Xuan.

“Although I’ve heard that Chu Qiuluo’s son is a good-for-nothing, we can’t be careless. Use the spirit-sealing net.”

“Alright!”

One of them took out a net and opened it. In order to minimize the noise, the two of them each took one side of the net and opened it around the courtyard.

The spirit-sealing net was a special spirit tool used to seal spiritual energy fluctuations.

All spiritual energy fluctuations within the range of the spirit-sealing net would be sealed and could not be transmitted out.

As long as the spirit-sealing net was broken, the people inside would not be able to call for help.

The two cultist were not taking any chances. After opening the net, they activated it at the same time. A large net was then tightly sealed in the courtyard where Chu Xuan lived.

The moment the spirit sealing net was activated, Chu Xuan noticed it.

His face turned black at that moment.

He cursed in his heart. The Chu family was too useless. They did not even know that someone had infiltrated the clan grounds.

He lightly sensed the cultists who had entered the courtyard and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Both of them were martial artists at the third level of the profound realm.

He was already at the seventh level of the profound realm, and he even had a high-grade treasured weapon, the spirit severing saber. A mere cultist was nothing in his eyes.

As for the spirit sealing net, he did not care about it at all.

After killing the cultist, the spirit sealing web would self-destruct.

Moreover, if he killed two cultist who disturbed his privacy, would he be able to obtain a random reward from the system?

After the spirit sealing net was set up, the two cultists heaved a sigh of relief, and they did not speak through voice transmission anymore.

“Why did Chu Qiuluo give birth to such a useless son? There’s actually no movement at all.”

“I heard that he hasn’t even reached the profound realm yet. How could he have noticed?”

“Hurry up and take action. Give him the confusion pill, poison smoke, and poison fire. Make him go to the Chu family’s ancestral residence to release the poison.”

“I suddenly got an idea. Why don’t we control him and treat him as a spy lying in ambush in the Chu family? It’ll be much better than eliminating him after just one use.”

One of the cultists suddenly said.

“He’s a direct descendant of the Chu family, and he’s also Chu Qiuluo’s son. Although Chu Qiuluo is missing, who knows if he’s still alive? Controlling his son might be of great use in the future. Moreover, this will help him break through to the profound realm and return to the core of the Chu family’s direct descent. That’ll make him even more useful.”

The two cultists discussed in low voices how to control Chu Xuan and how to make the most of the trash.

The more Chu Xuan listened, the darker his expression became. F*ck, why were all of them thinking about how to control him?

Am I so easy to control, and so easy to use?

“Have the two you finished discussing?”

Chu Xuan opened the door and walked out with a dark face.

The spirit sealing net had sealed off the courtyard, which was exactly what he wanted. Now he could kill them without causing any news to spread.

He did not want to expose his cultivation level just because he killed two cultists. He did not want to receive too much attention and did not want to be put into the limelight.

At the moment, he only wanted to stay at home and become stronger.

The two cultists were shocked. They looked at Chu Xuan warily until they realized that he was only at the mortal realm Qi gathering stage. They immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“Kid, your father, Chu Qiuluo, suppressed everyone in his generation. Why are you being suppressed by your peers? You’re too useless.”

One of the cultists laughed sinisterly.

“Come on, if you join our cult and we ensure that you become stronger, even future control of the Chu family will not not be a problem. Anyone sensible will know what the right decision is.”

Two cultists, one on the left, one on the right.

“Don’t even think about asking for help. Within the spirit-sealing net, no one will come even if you shout your throat out.”

“Hahaha. When I see your tender skin, I already know you can’t stand suffering. be obedient and enjoy the services of our cult. I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied. It is not just a dream for you to become the head of the Chu family in the future. It’s not even a dream for you to change the name of the Qin Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom.”

As the heretic spoke in an evil tone, he began to take out some pills.

Chu Xuan looked at the heretic who was surrounding him. At this point, he was pondering whether he should use the Dragon Python Spirit Fist to kill the two people, or if he should use the thunder-rolling finger.

Or, should he use the spirit-slayer saber?

Wouldn’t using the spirit-slayer saber be overkill?

Should he try the thunder-rolling finger?

In the end, he decided to use the two cultist to try out the thunder-rolling finger.

The Dragon Python Spirit Fist killed people and turned them into a pile of flesh and blood, making it difficult to clean them up.

The Thunderbolt Finger’s power of lightning pierced through and left a charred wound, making it much easier to deal with corpses.

“Are you done? If you’re done, you can die now.”

Chu Xuan raised his right hand and glanced at the two cultists coldly.

The two cultists were stunned and felt a bad premonition in their hearts. The other party was too calm and did now seem like a mortal realm martial artist at all.

Moreover, this was not the performance of a piece of trash that the boy was rumored to be.

Just as they were about to attack, they saw Chu Xuan tap his finger repeatedly. After this, two bolts of lightning came crashing down.

They wanted to dodge or block, but it was too late.

They only managed to circulate their spiritual power and formed a spiritual energy shield around their bodies in an attempt to block the lightnight.

The two of them practiced evil techniques, and they were now restrained by the lightning. Moreover, Chu Xuan’s strength far surpassed theirs, so how could a mere spiritual energy shield withstand it?

The lightning flashed, and before they could even let out a scream, a thumb-sized burn wound that was filled with black smoke appeared on their foreheads.

The lightning triggered by the thunderbolt finger directly pierced through the heads of the two cultists, leaving two small, charred holes.

PA!

The corpses fell to the ground.

There was still a look of disbelief on their faces.

Chu Xuan looked at the two corpses on the ground and nodded his head in satisfaction. The power of the thunderbolt finger was not weak.

His cultivation was not bad. The power of the thunderbolt did not spread out, nor did it burn his entire body. It left behind only a charred wound.

If the power of the thunderbolt did not spread out, the piercing power was even stronger, and it was even harder to resist.

However, when he looked at the two corpses on the ground, Chu Xuan was troubled again. What should he do with the corpses?

He could not leave the courtyard. Once he left the courtyard, it would waste all the time he spent in his residence.

He could not bury the corpses in the courtyard, right?

If there were two corpses buried in his courtyard, it did not matter how he looked at it, he would feel disgusted.

“You killed a cultist who tried to disturb your lifestyle. You are rewarded with a spirit-devouring flower.”
