Chapter 399: Chapter 0290 Can we suppress the little bugs _2 Chapter 399: Chapter 0290 Can we suppress the little bugs _2 When all the cultivators and Qi Tian encountered a strong figure like the Ape King Sun Xiaotian, they had no choice but to obey his orders and follow him wherever he went.

After crossing a mountain, Ape King Sun Xiaotian led Qi Tian and the others to a campsite. Before they could even enter, Qi Tian spotted a familiar face, the Qi Cultivation Period cultivator, the bearded man who always flaunted his power under Ape King Sun Xiaotian’s patronage. The mark on his face was so prominent that even now, Qi Tian did not know his name.

The bearded man, seeing Ape King Sun Xiaotian leading Qi Tian and the others back, hurried out to meet them from the camp with an ingratiating smile. “Ape King, you’re back?” He asked.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian nodded and said, “Settle them down first, I’ll head out again and see if I can bring back a few more.”

The bearded man chuckled, “Don’t worry, Ape King, it’s on me.”

Ape King Sun Xiaotian didn’t seem worried that the bearded man would be unable to control Qi Tian and the others, as he just turned around and walked away.

The bearded man looked at Qi Tian and the others with a smirk, patting the storage bag around his waist to produce a three-feet-long Formation Control Flag. He held it in his arms and teased, “Anyone thinking of escaping the formation? No worries, as long as you can endure the aftermath of the formation bombardment. I can assure you, whoever among you wants to try — one hit will make you regret your entire life. So, who doesn’t believe it and wants to stand up?”

The Heavenly Dao Engine was exceptionally sensitive to Spirit Qi, and the information it relayed to Qi Tian included the powerful array in the nearby camp, which was too strong for Qi Tian to resist at this moment.

While others may not sense the array in the camp, the fact that Ape King Sun Xiaotian confidently handed them over to the bearded man was a clear indicator. No one wanted to be the guinea pig testing the power of the array, so they obediently entered the camp. Under the bearded man’s arrangements, everyone selected a spot to meditate and rest for the time being.

Qi Tian had already disguised his identity, and his cultivation soared so much that the bearded man failed to recognize him. After bringing Qi Tian and the others into the camp, he waited outside for Ape King Sun Xiaotian’s return.

Before dawn, Ape King Sun Xiaotian returned twice, each time bringing back a few Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. In the end, Qi Tian and the others totaled up to seventeen people, at which point Ape King Sun Xiaotian did not leave again.

The next day, after a brief meditation for over an hour, Ape King Sun Xiaotian once again stood before Qi Tian and the others and said, “I invited you all here not to kill you, but to ask for a small favor. If you help me fulfill my wish, I will grant you your freedom.”

After finishing, the Ape King glanced at Qi Tian and the others, and said, “I will not force anyone. If you are willing to help, step forward. If not, also come forward. I’ll give you your freedom.”

One cultivator stood up and said, “Ape King, I acknowledge your power. But my Xue family is not weak either. We won’t let you detain me without a fight. If you let me go, I promise to speak well of you in front of the family master, to avoid any pursuit of this matter.”

Ape King Sun Xiaotian replied, “Oh, so you’re from the Xue family. Then you can leave.”

Assuming he had succeeded, the man snorted arrogantly and strutted towards the camp exit. But just as he stepped out, the bearded man waved the Formation Control Flag in his hand, causing a sword to appear above the campsite and shoot out at surprising speed. It pierced the man’s chest instantly. Lowering his head to look at the sword in his chest, his head dropped forward and he collapsed on the ground, dead on the spot.

“Anyone else wants to leave? The Ape King does not force anyone to work for him,” the bearded man said indifferently.

Having witnessed the power of the array, no one dared risk leaving the camp.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction, saying, “Since everyone is willing to work for me, I am grateful to all of you. Please rest assured, I will not force anyone. Tomorrow, once you help me achieve my wish, I will let you go. Now, I have a pill here that can enhance your cultivation realm. I would like you all to consume it in my presence, as a sign of your genuineness in working for me.”

Everyone knew that this so-called pill wasn’t anything good and definitely had a catch, but with Ape King Sun Xiaotian glaring at them menacingly, and considering how a cultivator from the Xue family had been killed before, who dared to question Ape King Sun Xiaotian and refuse to take the pill?

The bearded man had everyone line up and one by one walk up to Ape King Sun Xiaotian. The Ape King himself distributed the pills and personally watched them consume them.

Soon it was Qi Tian’s turn. He took the pill from the huge hand of Ape King Sun Xiaotian and swallowed it under his watchful eye.

It seemed like Ape King Sun Xiaotian could feel it, after Qi Tian, a cultivator made the movement of consuming the pill, but Ape King Sun Xiaotian flicked the pill out off his hand. Just when everyone thought that Ape King Sun Xiaotian was going to kill this man, he grabbed the man’s mouth and force-fed him the pill.

Afterwards, no one dared to play tricks, all swallowing the pill obediently.

Ape King Sun Xiaotian nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and entered his tent to rest. As for Qi Tian and the others, he paid no attention to them whatsoever. Even brown-noser bearded man completely ignored them.

Instantly, some people started trying to induce vomiting in different ways, trying to spit out the pill, but no matter what they did, the pill seemed to have vanished without trace.

Some immediately started meditating, looking inward with their divine sense hoping to notice any changes in their bodies. However, they without exception all found a tiny worm in their bodies, crawling towards their Dantian.

Everyone let out cries of despair, but they were completely helpless against these tiny parasites burrowed inside them. Not a single one of them specialized in the ways of worms, and nobody even knew for sure whether these little creatures were worms at all.

No one dared to act rashly; they all silently observed what these parasites would do next.

The parasites moved fast and soon reached everyone’s Dantian. Instead of hastily biting their way into the Qi Sea within the Dantian, they laid still on the outside, waiting for their next command.

Qi Tian was no exception, after the tiny creature entered his body, it burrowed its way, heading straight for his Dantian.

It was needless to say that the parasite’s journey was causing harm to Qi Tian. How could he tolerate this? He immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Engine, hoping to suppress the tiny invader.

Shortly after, Qi Tian felt a slight tremor from the Heavenly Dao Engine. A shockwave emitted from it, which instantly washed over his entire body. His internal organs, meridians, bones, and the like were all unfazed by this shockwave. However, when the shockwave passed over the tiny invader, it was instantly killed and shattered.

Qi Tian was taken by surprise, he hadn’t expected the Heavenly Dao Engine to have such an ability. Was this technique resonance-based or high-frequency pest control?

The death of the parasite allowed Qi Tian to breathe a sigh of relief. Without this security threat inside him, he could focus without worrying about the consequences, allowing him to fight Ape King Sun Xiaotian without holding back during any crucial moments.
