Because he'd been handling the pill shop business in the city all this time, he managed to escape the disaster that befell the family estate.
The people from the Five Families were well aware of his existence, but it was hard to make a move inside the Immortal City, so all they could do was wait for an opportunity.
Zhu Er and some of the remaining Zhu Family cultivators holed up in Immortal City day after day, using the shop's profits to eke out a living.
"If only I hadn't suggested abandoning Fellow Daoist Lu back then—maybe the Zhu Family wouldn't have been wiped out."
"We might even have gone further, become the leading clan of Qi Cultivation."
Zhu Er cursed silently in his heart.
Back when the Zhu Family was gathering info on Lu Chang'sheng, most of it was handled by him—so no one understood Lu Chang'sheng's capabilities better than he did.
Sadly, what's done is done.
