Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 145 - 141: Surge_3

”I wonder what brings you here in the dead of night?” Li Shiqing asked calmly.

This was actually not Yu Qingʼs first visit to Da Rong Island to seek him out. After Li Shiqingʼs Core Formation celebration, Yu Qing had secretly come once before.

His purpose was simple: he wanted to form an alliance with the Li family to jointly resist the increasingly powerful Yuanming Sect.

But at that time, Li Shiqing needed to complete the mission for Shen Leishan and earn Foundation Establishment Spiritual Medicine for his family, so he fobbed Yu Qing off with this excuse.

But now Yu Qing had come again!

And to avoid drawing attention, he even went to Red Pine Island first to find Li Shiting and contacted Li Shiqing through her.

”Why pretend ignorance, my friend?” Yu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice, ”The Yuanming Sect is tightening its grip by the day. They havenʼt even produced their third Golden Core and already started to oppress the Li family. If they do succeed in producing a third Golden Core, the Li family will have even more difficult days ahead!”

Li Shiqing sighed and said, ”In a forest, there isnʼt room for two tigers.”

”But have you heard, my friend, that before two tigers fight each other, they will first eliminate the wolves nearby so no one can take advantage of their battle to gain an easy victory?”

Yu Qing narrowed his eyes and said, ”Do you not trust my Green Sword Sect? With the great power of the Yuanming Sect now, only by banding together can our two families survive! You surely know the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.”

”Yes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold!”

Li Shiqingʼs inexplicable sigh made Yu Qing feel uneasy, and he immediately attempted to leave.

”Since youʼre here, why the hurry to leave, friend?” A cheerful voice suddenly echoed in the silent night sky.

”Li Shiqing! Youʼve actually joined forces with the Yuanming Sect! Arenʼt you afraid they will destroy your Li family after theyʼre done?!” Yu Qing exclaimed in shock and anger, his voice booming across the skies of Da Rong Island.

Li Shiqing looked at him with a serene expression and remained silent. Who didnʼt know the principle that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold?

But the Yuanming Sect no longer had just two Golden Cores. The cultivator who had taken the Gold Core Formation Pill broke through successfully in a foreign land a few months ago!

On that day, three Golden Core cultivators from the Yuanming Sect arrived at Da Rong Island, and with absolute military power and the lives of the islandʼs clan members at stake, they pressured Li Shiqing to bow down, making the Li family once again a vassal to the Yuanming Sect.

However, they also promised that as long as the Li family behaved, they would not harm the Li family.

Li Shiqing had no other choice but to agree.

Then the Yuanming Sect asked Li Shiqing to perform a play, a play for the Green Sword Sect to watch!

This play had two main characters, one was the Li family and the other was the Yuanming Sect. The He Family acted as the prologue to this play.

That is to say, the now-destroyed He Family was actually taken down by the Yuanming Sect themselves. Then the Li family pretended to be oppressed to attract the Green Sword Sect to send someone to contact the Li family.

The moment Yu Qing, thinking he was being cautious, contacted Li Shiting, he fully exposed his whereabouts!

If he had suddenly come to Da Rong Island, it would have been harder for them to set an ambush.

”Do you really think you can stop me with just that?!” Yu Qing knew he would surely die if he didnʼt fight tooth and nail, so he used his most lethal move right from the start.

In an instant, thousands of Sword Qis were unleashed like a tempest, tearing apart anything that stood in their way and howling toward the Golden Core he had never seen before.

This person was, after all, a newly advanced Golden Core and the weakest in strength, representing the position that Yu Qing found easiest to break through.

”Be careful!” Jiang Tianming, an old adversary, quickly shouted a warning.

Fortunately, the Golden Core was cautious and had anticipated that Yu Qing would target him as the weak point. Therefore, he had prepared his Defensive Treasure the moment he appeared.

Together with the multiple layers of defensive spells he activated in the nick of time, he barely managed to block Yu Qingʼs attack.

However, his recently refined Defensive Treasure was unexpectedly cracked by Yu Qingʼs lethal move.
