In my cultivation journey, I completely crushed a group of chosen ones.

The head of the Di family narrowed his eyes. Something was off about this person; he kept bringing up the Di family: "Do we have a grudge?"

The head of the Lu family was not afraid at all, and no one in the Di family recognized him: "How could that be? None of us have ever seen him before."

Although the head of the Chu family was short-tempered, he wasn't without brains.

He was somewhat skeptical that this person suddenly appeared and claimed to be Chu Li's man; the timing was too coincidental.

"Patriarch Di, I'll go back first and then come back to inform you after I've investigated the truth."

The head of the Di family suspected the outsiders; if they were allowed to leave, the head of the Chu family and his group might be walking into the lion's den.

"Since you are all members of the Chu family, we now have a common enemy."

Why don't we come in and discuss what to do next? What do you all think?

The Lu family head was surprised by the unexpected turn of events: "We've come to help the Chu family, and we'll follow the Chu family head's arrangements."

The head of the Di family gave a meaningful look, which the head of the Chu family understood: "Then let's discuss it."

The head of the Di family made a gesture: "Steward, quickly arrange for good wine and food, I want to entertain all my fellow Daoists."

The steward understood the master's gesture: "Yes, master, this old servant will make the arrangements immediately."

He turned and went to the Enforcement Hall: "Hall Master, a group of people of unknown origin have come to the house."

The head of the household instructs you to keep a close watch on their every move and not give them any opportunity to take advantage.

The head of the Lu family entered with a group of people, looking around.

The head of the Di family increasingly felt that they were not good people.

A group of people arrived at the main hall and chatted for a while.

The head of the Lu family stood up: "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, I'll go for a walk."

The head of the Lu family hadn't gone far when he sensed several auras not far away.

A smile appeared on his lips, as if he were genuinely strolling around.

After everyone left, the head of the Di family summoned the head of the Enforcement Hall: "Did you see anything?"

The hall master shook his head: "They didn't do anything?"

The head of the Di family didn't believe it: "Impossible, they're coming in."

We cannot do nothing; that would mean we haven't discovered anything.

The hall master became serious: "But we have carefully checked the places they have been, and found nothing."

The head of the Di family still felt there was a problem: "I'll go take a look."

After searching around, he found nothing: "Could it be that I'm overthinking it?"

Back in the main hall, he drank a cup of tea, feeling thirsty: "Di Zhuo, go and ask the elders."

We don't know who our imperial family has a grudge against.

This must be aimed at us.

Di Zhuo arrived at the mountain where the elders lived.

"Elders, the patriarch asked me to ask if you remember any families that the Di family has ever had a feud with."

Recently, many members of the Chu family have died, and the blame is being directed at us.

Fortunately, the Chu family wasn't unreasonable; they didn't launch a brute-force attack.

"With so many people in the Di family, it's possible that someone might offend someone outside."

“Unless they are very favored, but if you offend someone like that, the imperial family’s children will not remain silent.”

"Hey, have you guys forgotten?"

Many years ago, I remember that Elder Di Zheng of our Di family had a friend, whose surname was Lu, I think.

However, this family had questionable conduct; it seemed they were colluding with demons at the time.

When several families in the vicinity found out, they joined forces and wiped them out.

Those families also suffered heavy losses and later withdrew from the center of power in the Immortal Realm, moving to the edge of the Immortal Realm.

The Chu family was among those who joined the effort.

Later, Elder Dizheng learned of the Lu family's character and severed ties with them.

"So, in that case, the family that has a grudge against both the Di family and the Chu family is the Lu family."

There must still be someone from the Lu family alive at that time. Could it be a friend of Elder Di Zheng?

Upon hearing the news, the head of the Di family exclaimed, "How come I've never heard of this before?"

Immediately inform Patriarch Chu and have the Enforcement Hall investigate.

Which other families participated in the destruction of the Lu family?

The head of the household felt very tired today and wanted to sleep: "I'm exhausted, I'll rest for a while."

When the Chu family head received the message from the Di family, he seemed to have some recollection of it.

It was something our ancestor once said he overheard by accident.

It seems very likely to be the Lu family.

Those who followed them, who claimed to be Chu Li's men, were also highly questionable.

There was no news of Chu Li after he left, so why did he suddenly come back and know that the Chu family was in danger?

I'm so sleepy today, I really want to sleep. I'll take a nap first.

"Master, they've all fallen for the trap. When should we make our move?"

The head of the Lu family said smugly, "Why bother? This is just a matter of getting sleepy in the early stages."

When they fall into a deep sleep and never wake up, that will be their death day.

We won't make a move, so as not to alert the enemy.

Our people are only required to monitor the Di family and the Chu family.

They were far from their families, and those who went out alone saw them off on their journey.

As time went by, the Di family head's urge to sleep became increasingly severe.

Even many elders and disciples in the family, and even the cleaning ladies, were the same.

The head of the family realized he had fallen into a trap.

"Steward, immediately summon the family elders to the main hall to discuss important matters."

The butler yawned repeatedly: "Master, I've been feeling sleepy lately."

I don't know why, I'm going to take a nap later.

Everyone looked listless.

"Master, I'm still half asleep. Why did you summon us?"

The head of the household, infected as well, couldn't help but yawn.

"Haven't you noticed that everyone in our Di family seems to be asleep?"

"I'm always sleepy and need to sleep more and more?"

Everyone shuddered, as if they had been doused with cold water.

"Patriarch, have we been infected?"

The patriarch nodded: "I just don't know how we fell into their trap."

Let's not make a fuss about it for now; we don't know if it's a curse or poison.

"Someone should go to the Refining Domain and find a master alchemist or a poison master to take a look."

I was just about to say that the Di family also has alchemists, but lately, the alchemists are just like them, all looking sleepy.

Before the patriarch could say anything more, the man had already closed his eyes.

The people nearby called out several times but received no response, and one by one they realized the seriousness of the situation.

"This is how to do?"

"As the head of the family said, arrange for a few people to go out and invite people."

Several days passed without any news, and the elders sat together.

"I guess none of the people who went out are left."

"What can we do? We can't just sit here and wait to die."

"I think we should contact Emperor Di Qingci. If she's willing to help, we might be saved."

"How can we contact her? Do you have her contact information?"

"Remember to ask for help from the outside world when the head of the family wakes up."

"The head of the family has been awake for less than three hours a day recently."

We'll take turns keeping watch, and send a message out as soon as the patriarch wakes up.

“Yun Que and the others are also training outside, so we can send messages to them.”

In the afternoon, the head of the family woke up and saw several pairs of eyes staring at him.

"This is what you are doing?"

"Master, the situation is dire. We must seize the opportunity before our enemies attack and unleash a massacre."

"Let's call for help quickly! Do you have Emperor Qingci's telepathic communication number?"

The head of the family said, "Sound transmission will definitely be intercepted, but I have other methods."

You need to make contacts; the communication talisman can only be used as a cover.

Otherwise, even if people come, they'll probably be ambushed.

The head of the Di family originally wanted Di Qingci to have other means of communication so that he could work as a spy.

But the message disappeared without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"She must be in seclusion, or somewhere far away."

The light in the eyes of the elders faded.

"What should we do? We've taken countless antidote pills, but they haven't worked."

I suspect we're cursed.
