Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 393 - 399: Premonition

```

Dark clouds gathered densely, and numerous lightning bolts, like silver dragons, tumbled across the sky, heralding the onset of a torrential downpour!

”Xiaoqing, come back,” Li Zhiruiʼs brow furrowed slightly. In this situation, Xiaoqing, who had not yet transformed, should not fly. If he used mana to erect a barrier, it would significantly weaken his strength. Forcing Xiaoqing to take action under these circumstances would only harm him.

Moreover, Li Zhirui was also keen to measure himself against this Flood Dragon, to assess his own strength and thereby estimate the average might of this pack of devil beasts.

”Da Qing, you and Xiaoqing protect the cultivators within that village,” Li Zhirui had not forgotten that the success or failure of this trial and the lives of those people were greatly connected.

”Youʼre finally willing to show yourself!” The Flood Dragon knew very well that Li Zhirui was his biggest threat. Now that he was willing to take personal action, the Flood Dragon felt nervous, but at the same time, there was a thrill and anticipation in his heart.

If he could kill Li Zhirui and devour his flesh and blood, could he perhaps take that final step?! The Flood Dragon thought secretly to himself.

But what he never expected was how cunning and malicious Li Zhiruiʼs methods could be!

On the surface, Li Zhirui engaged him in fierce combat, but secretly, he had laid a potent poison. The Flood Dragon felt the rapid drain of mana within his body, and his complexion became extremely gloomy.

”The human race is as despicable and shameless as ever, so cunning and deceitful!” the Flood Dragon roared ferociously.

Looking at the vines and massive trees that surrounded him, and behind the cage, Li Zhirui who was staring at him intently, the Flood Dragon knew all too well that his fate was sealed this time!

However, he would certainly not die so ignobly!

Li Zhirui remained unmoved. Since it was a fight to the death, he would use whatever means he had—whether honorable or deceitful. Taking advantage of the weakening Flood Dragon, he went in for the kill, intending to execute him directly.

The Flood Dragon sensed Li Zhiruiʼs intent to kill and a flash of resoluteness and fierceness appeared in his eyes, as he began to frantically stir up the mana within his body, even squeezing out his own essence blood and spiritual soul.

In the Flood Dragonʼs reckless burning, the downpour grew even more intense, as if a giant hole had been torn in the heavens above. The rain fell in torrents, and in the blink of an eye, murky water accumulated on the ground and continued to rise, threatening to transform the vicinity into a swampy realm!

”Hahahahaha...” Before the Flood Dragon perished, the land was already flooded; he unleashed his last bit of mana, stirring up a fierce flood.

”As always, dead but giving no peace!” Li Zhirui didnʼt know how many times he had repeated this sentiment.

”Itʼs time for you to come out and lend a hand, isnʼt it?” Li Zhirui shouted to Liu Sihe and the others hiding.

It might be understandable that these cultivators did not dare to show themselves while he was locked in intense battle with the Flood Dragon. The disparity between the two sides was too great, and their intervention could possibly be more harmful than helpful.

Li Zhirui held no grudge for that and had even arranged for Da Qing and Xiaoqing to protect them from being hit by the remnants of the battle.

But now that the Flood Dragon was dead, these cultivators were still hiding and refusing to act! Li Zhirui was tempted to turn away and leave, abandoning the matter and letting these people struggle and seek survival in the water on their own.

Unfortunately, merit and his conscience did not allow Li Zhirui to do such a thing. He could only laboriously resist and dissipate the raging flood caused by the Flood Dragon.

”Quick, go out!” The Golden Core of the Liu Family also realized that their behavior was inappropriate and hurriedly called out all the cultivators to join forces against the flood.

With the relentless effort of everyone present, the flood was finally contained, and the great rain summoned by the Flood Dragon, weakened by his death, gradually ebbed away.

```

Li Zhirui let out a sigh of relief; with this, Liu Family Village was temporarily out of danger.

”Thank you, senior, for your life-saving grace. We have no way to repay you right now, so please accept this token of our gratitude.” While speaking, a Golden Core member of the Liu Family presented an open Jade Box.

”Hmm?” Li Zhirui had initially intended to decline, but when he saw the Spiritual Object inside the Jade Box, he immediately changed his mind and said, ”Then Iʼll accept it without demur.”

Because it was a Kongming Pill, capable of clearing the mind of stray thoughts and obsessions, which could greatly aid his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage!

Furthermore, by presenting such a precious Spiritual Object, it seemed like the Liu Family wanted to settle their debts with Li Zhirui. Of course, a mere third-grade Spirit Pill couldnʼt possibly offset such a huge debt.

However, Li Zhirui now harbored a doubt in his heart: would the items he obtained during the trial still exist after it ended?

Before he could ponder it thoroughly, he was startled by a statement from the Liu Familyʼs Golden Core member!

”Senior, the reason for that Flood Dragonʼs formidable strength is not only its cultivation but also its highly concentrated bloodline!”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui felt a foreboding sense in his heart, and the next words spoken caused his face to drastically change.

”Based on our speculation, this Flood Dragon could have a high-ranking parent; and the Sea of Myriad Devil, this Devil Race organization, was founded by a Flood Dragon at the peak of Divine Transformation.”

After hearing this, Li Zhirui instead calmed down. For some reason, he faintly felt that his trial was nearing its end.

But having only slain one third-grade Devil Beast and saved the people of Liu Family Village, it probably wouldnʼt count as passing the fifth layer of the trial. He would need to find a way to complete it.

Actually, there was no need to think too hard, since the solution was right before his eyes: to head directly to the Sea of Myriad Devil and slay more Devil Beasts.

”Thank you for the information!” then Li Zhirui asked, ”May I dare to inquire where the Sea of Myriad Devil is located?”

”Senior, what are you planning to do?!” The Golden Core member of the Liu Family was no fool; he could clearly discern the implications behind that question and looked at Li Zhirui with a face full of terror.

”Rest assured, I have means to save my life. Even in the face of Divine Transformation, I can safely escape. Iʼm just looking to probe the strength of the Sea of Myriad Devil; I wonʼt act recklessly,” Li Zhirui assured.

Although he explained himself, whether anyone believed him or not, Li Zhirui couldnʼt tell, nor did he care.

After much consideration, the Golden Core member of the Liu Family finally disclosed the location of the Sea of Myriad Devil.

Truth be told, he didnʼt believe that Li Zhirui was the sort to risk his life to subdue Devils and eliminate evil. As for what Li Zhirui intended to do, he had no idea.

Li Zhirui didnʼt hurry to leave but instead took time nearby to restore his Mana. When everything was ready, he set off toward the Sea of Myriad Devil, where a great number of Devil Beasts were gathered.

”Jiao Qiu was actually killed by someone!” The Flood Dragon at the peak of Divine Transformation roared with rage. Jiao Qiu was his successor, having had a vast amount of resources and effort invested in him. His unexpected death was truly enraging!

”Search! I donʼt care what methods you use, you must find the murderer! Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be!”
