Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 478: 484 Chapter: Decapitation of the Owl Boss

”A! Weʼve found Li Chenghuo!” Xiaoqing, holding a magic artifact, suddenly shouted aloud.

Since entering the secret realm, the positioning device that had been silent finally lit up, and the code represented Li Chenghuo.

”How far away is he from us? In which direction?” Da Qing relaxed a little, at least they had found the person now.

”The spirit light is faint and unclear, at least a thousand miles away! In the northeast direction,” Xiaoqing estimated.

”Then letʼs make haste, everyone take turns and rotate, and converge with Li Chenghuo as fast as possible!”

As for Li Zhixuan, they still didnʼt know where she was; they could only take one step at a time. Moreover, with her strength, as long as nothing unexpected happened, she shouldnʼt encounter any danger.

——

Just as Jiang Fengwu and his two companions hurried on their way, Li Chenghuo watched the two cultivators from Shen Leishan with a serious face, his mana ready to be unleashed, extremely on guard.

”Li, this secret realm is very strange now. To deal with the upcoming dangers, how about the three of us join forces?” one of them proposed.

No one who had cultivated to the Golden Core Realm was a fool. How could they not notice the strangeness and unpredictability of the secret realm?

Moreover, most cultivators had their suspicions focused on the Taixu Devil Race, after all, it was the sole power that had controlled the secret realm earlier.

”Thank you for the good intentions of the two Daoist friends, but I assume the elders of my family should be searching for me at this moment, so I must decline,” Li Chenghuo politely refused.

At this time, he had not yet noticed the positioning deviceʼs indication. His refusal was simply because he did not want to join this team.

Because they were from Shen Leishan, a power that bore enmity with his family, join them? He wouldnʼt even know how he died.

”Daoist friend, the secret realm is exceptionally dangerous. We cultivators should stick together to survive! Besides, this does not conflict with the elders of your family searching for you, and when the time comes, we will also help you,” the man persisted, still trying to persuade Li Chenghuo.

But after Li Chenghuo refused again, the expressions on the two menʼs faces instantly turned gloomy.

”You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since youʼre so misguided, you canʼt blame us for what comes next!”

Initially, they wanted to use Li Chenghuo as cannon fodder and a human shield to increase their chances of survival.

But unexpectedly, Li Chenghuo was impervious to persuasion; they had no choice but to make it quick for him!

And why not let Li Chenghuo go? They not only had the advantage in numbers but also in strength. Why would they let go of this walking treasury?

Both from the same sect, they coordinated very well together. One was responsible for trapping and entangling Li Chenghuo, while the other attacked him with powerful Thunder Method spells, leaving no chance for Li Chenghuo to escape!

”Your strength is indeed formidable, what a pity, I am not alone!”

No sooner had he spoken than Li Chenghuo opened the Spirit Beast Bag and released all three Mountain Guardian Spirit Beasts!

Even though his Contracted Spirit Beast had not yet broken through the third rank, with three third-rank Spirit Beasts by his side, he was no weaker than the two cultivators in terms of strength!

”How is this possible?!”

”Damn it! Since when did the Li family have so many third-rank Spirit Beasts?”

Seeing this scene, the two were instantly frightened, no longer possessing the confidence to defeat Li Chenghuo, and instead began to consider how to escape.

Itʼs really not their fault for being unaware, after all, when Li Zhirui subdued the Devil Beasts invading Yunping and Guang Qing states, he acted very swiftly and did not publicize his actions afterward, choosing instead to conceal their existence.

This was to catch them off guard and take them by surprise.

”Thinking of running away now? Itʼs too late!”

”Attack! Surround them for me, do not let them escape!” Following Li Chenghuoʼs command, three Devil Beasts immediately leaped forward, forming an encirclement, trapping the two Cultivators within it.

”If you kill us, Shen Leishan will not let this go easily!” One of the Cultivators shouted with a voice full of sternness yet a semblance of panic, ”By then, you will be the Li familyʼs criminal!”

”Heh heh! As long as I silence you, who would know that I did this?” Li Chenghuoʼs eyes gleamed with cruelty, and he did not hesitate to make the first move.

A nine-tiered pagoda of red-gold color flew out; as mana was poured into it, it grew against the wind and in a blink became dozens of yards tall, hovering above the heads of the two men.

An extremely powerful suction force erupted; if their reactions had not been swift enough, they might have already been sealed inside the pagoda by now, suffering from the roasting of Spiritual Fire.

The three Spirit Beasts were also not to be outdone, unleashing powerful attacks one after another.

For a time, the two were pushed into a flurry, their hair disheveled, their Taoist robes torn, looking extremely bedraggled.

”Senior brother, quickly think of something, if this continues, we really may end up dying here.”

”Just hold on a little longer, give me a bit more time.” The senior brotherʼs forehead was covered in beads of sweat, wracking his brain for a way to turn the situation around.

Suddenly, a spark of Spirit Light flashed in his eyes as he looked back at his jittery junior brother, thinking to himself, ʼJunior brother, itʼs better that you die than me. Donʼt blame me; once I get out, I promise to avenge you!ʼ

With that thought, he began to seize every opportunity to escape.

Soon, his chance came!

The three Spirit Beasts simultaneously cast spells, seemingly growing impatient with the prolonged struggle; Li Chenghuo, too, felt that any further delay might lead to an unforeseen incident, hence he manipulated the pagoda to spit out strands of Earth Core Poison Flame, shooting straight towards the two men.

”Junior brother! Be careful!” While he voiced a warning, he pushed his junior brother towards the oncoming attack to shield himself.

”Junior brother, rest assured, once I am out, I will report to our Sect and avenge you!”

While his words still echoed in the air, he himself turned into a beam of Spirit Light, flying towards the west.

”Aaaah! Du Tianze, you bastard! How dare you send me to my death!” The junior brother had not expected such a betrayal, and he screamed hideously, his voice filled with unwillingness and resentment.

”Trying to escape?!” Li Chenghuo snorted coldly, immediately channeling his mana into the Nine Flames Burning Heaven Pagoda. An intense suction force erupted, forcibly dragging back the fleeing man.

A chain of fire shot out, binding him tightly in place.

”Let me go! Let me go! Iʼm still young, I have a bright future ahead, I donʼt want to die! Please let me go! Iʼm willing to be a beast of burden, a slave, just spare my life!” Du Tianze struggled frantically, sobbing and begging pitifully.

”Ha ha ha ha, Du Tianze, if I canʼt live, neither can you!” The junior brother didnʼt care about the spells being cast behind him, he suddenly turned around and charged at Du Tianze to kill him.

Crack—

Du Tianze was beheaded by a sword, and the junior brother was also grievously injured, not far from death.

”Ha!” Li Chenghuo sneered, saying, ”I didnʼt expect to be treated to such a spectacle just before death.”
