Chapter 2593: Chapter 2593: Want To Return Home
"We are the same as you are." Yu Qi stated calmly.
"You are cultivators as well?" The man looked sceptical, since he did not sense any cultivation power from these two intruders.
"Oh... You are probably wondering why you don’t sense any cultivation power from us, right?" Yu Qi smiled lightly.
At that very moment, a burst of cultivation power emerged from Yu Qi and Long Hui’s bodies. The men were surprised when they sensed the sudden surge of power. They became even more shocked when they realised that the power Yu Qi and Long Hui possessed was stronger than theirs.
They seemed to calm down a little. They knew that if Long Hui and Yu Qi truly wanted to do something to them, they would not be able to defend themselves against these two people.
"So, what do you want?" One of the men asked.
Yu Qi assumed that he was the leader. Everyone seemed to depend on him.
"We would like to know how you guys ended up here." Yu Qi asked, her curiosity piling up.
"We don’t know." The man shook his head slowly.
Everyone’s expression also became solemn. They truly did not know what exactly had happened back then. They had been doing fine at their house. Then suddenly, they all felt dizzy and lost consciousness.
"What is the last thing that you remember before you came to your senses?" Yu Qi asked, probing for more information.
"We were training. After that, we felt dizzy and lost consciousness. When we opened our eyes again, we were already in this area." The man stated, looking somewhat lost.
Long Hui and Yu Qi looked at each other. As the cultivators, to come to the outside world, they would need either a teleportation device or someone who knew how to operate the teleportation array. However, in order to perform a complete teleportation, that person would need a large amount of Qi.
Yu Qi only knew one person who could do it at that moment, and that was Qin Xia. However, it was impossible for Qin Xia to perform a complete teleportation because he was too lazy. That was why he had left a secret entrance at the mountain in the Capital City.
"How many of you are staying in this place?" Yu Qi asked.
"Well, there are about ten of us living here at the moment." The man stated.
"Do you want to continue staying in this place?" Yu Qi asked again.
"Of course not. But we don’t have any other choice." The man gritted his teeth. "Actually, there were fifteen people who originally lived here. Because we wanted to find a way back, five of us went out to search for a path to the cultivation world. However, they were caught by some people. Those people noticed the power that our people possessed and tried to extract that power.
Knowing that they could not escape from those people, they performed a Qi transfer to one of them. That person finally managed to escape and return to us. But he was already beyond recovery.
He told us everything about what those people had done to him and the others. He warned us that we could not leave this place. Otherwise, those people would find us and do the same thing to us as they did to him."
"Did he tell you who those people were?" Yu Qi asked.
"No..." The man shook his head.
"They must have cooperated with those evil cultivators. Otherwise, how could normal human beings manage to capture them?" Long Hui pointed out.
"What? Evil cultivators? Are they in the outside world, too?" The man was shocked.
"Yes, we happened to meet a few of them. I believe the people who caught your family probably received help from those evil cultivators." Yu Qi nodded.
"No wonder... No wonder... We were wrong the entire time. We thought that the normal human beings had developed some kind of weapons against us because we never imagined that evil cultivators also existed in the outside world." The man laughed bitterly.
"So, are you going to stay here or leave this place?" Yu Qi asked.
"How can we know that you are not the same as those people who tortured our brothers?" Another man spoke up.
"That’s right. Maybe you are just the same as them." Another one also voiced his opinion.
They did not want to be deceived.
"If we were the same as them, do you think you would still be standing here once we laid our eyes on you?" Long Hui spoke calmly.
"That’s right. I am sure you already sensed our cultivation level just now. If we truly wanted to take you away by force, none of you would have the chance to fight back." Yu Qi stated, smiling faintly at the men.
The men exchanged glances. It was indeed true. Both of them were clearly much stronger.
"If we follow you, where are you going to take us?" The man asked.
"My next question is this: do you still want to live in the outside world?" Yu Qi asked.
"No."
"No."
Several voices of refusal came from the men. They did not want to live in the outside world if they were given the chance. They still preferred the cultivation world.
"That’s right. We don’t want to live here. We want to go back to the cultivation world. Our roots are over there." The man stated firmly.
