Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 502 - 508: Projection

Although Li Chengshengʼs appearance was only briefly exposed, it was memorably clear.

Within the Wood Spirit Sect, Demon Cultivators began to take action, distributing Li Chengshengʼs likeness to various Immortal Cities, under the pretext that he had stolen an extremely precious secret treasure!

Whoever could capture him alive and turn him in would be rewarded by the Wood Spirit Sect with a Gold Core Formation Pill! Even just submitting a clue would yield a handsome reward.

They even made a great show of passing the word to the Spiritual Cloud Sect and the Mysterious Fire Fan Family, hoping the two factions would assist, offering enticing promises in return.

The Fan Family was easy to deal with, as they were already under the control of Demon Cultivators and would surely cooperate actively.

But the Spiritual Cloud Sect was not so certain; although the three families formed an alliance for mutual benefit, they vied for dominance beneath the surface, each aiming to become the leader of the pact.

Now that the Wood Spirit Sect was in trouble, the Spiritual Cloud Sect naturally took pleasure in their misfortune.

The Demon Cultivators also considered this and knew that since the remaining two families had already fallen into demonic clutches, Li Chengsheng and his companions would certainly flee in their direction, especially since the Spiritual Cloud Sect was located to the southeast of Green Mountain State, near Yunping State and the Boundless Sea.

Therefore, while searching within their own territory, the Demon Cultivators also kept a tight watch on the borders, not giving Li Chengsheng any chance to escape.

Li Chengshuo, however, because he had activated an Earth Escape Talisman while an Invisibility Talisman was still in effect, was not seen by them; they only knew of a Foundation Establishment female Cultivator.

With such a fruitless lead, the Demon Cultivators could only target Li Chengsheng alone.

Meanwhile, they prohibited all Cultivators from leaving Green Mountain State.

——

”Green Mountain State has actually become a den of demons!” Li Chengsheng, who had escaped, wore a face filled with shock and fear, far from his usual calm demeanor.

But now was not the time for excessive sentimentality; knowing his own location, Li Chengsheng hurriedly flew towards the Spiritual Cloud Sect.

This was the only major power within Green Mountain State that wasnʼt controlled by Demon Cultivators!

Even if he couldnʼt directly inform them of the situation, it was safer than other places and made it easier to leave Green Mountain State.

Fortunately, Li Chengsheng had escaped to the wilderness. Had he entered an Immortal City, he wouldnʼt be allowed to enter or leave by now.

But by the time Li Chengsheng finally reached the border, he immediately discovered a large number of Cultivators, clad in Wood Spirit Sect garments, patrolling back and forth.

”It looks like I wonʼt be able to escape anytime soon!” Li Chengshuo dared not show his face; he was very aware of his own strength, and besides, among the group of Cultivators, there were certainly those at the Foundation Establishment level.

All he could hope for now was that Li Chengshuo could manage to escape and bring news back to their family.

”Woof woof woof—”

Just as Li Chengsheng was ready to retreat and find a hidden spot to take cover, a Spirit Beast dog suddenly charged in his direction and began barking loudly.

”Who is there! Come out!” The patrol of Cultivators instantly produced their magic artifacts, ready to strike.

”Not good!” Li Chengshengʼs face turned pale, and he could no longer worry about exposure; he immediately dashed at his fastest speed towards the territory of the Spiritual Cloud Sect.

”Donʼt even think about escaping!”

Although they had not seen Li Chengshengʼs face, his actions were tantamount to telling them that he was the person they were searching for. All the Cultivators became excited at once.

They didnʼt know the specifics of Li Chengshengʼs situation, only that the Sect had issued a very generous bounty for him!

This was their chance to rise to great heights!

The moment the Spirit Boats rose into the air, they also launched their attacks, as various hues of Spirit Light streaked towards Li Chengsheng.

”Sun Blaze! Li Fire!” Li Chengsheng called out two Spirit Beasts without hesitation, the third grade Chaoyang Crow and the fourth grade Li Fire Sparrow. The moment they appeared, they both spat out Spiritual Fire, trying to block the attacks.

Meanwhile, he continued to steer the Spirit Boat, trying to break through their defenses and escape to the territory of the Spiritual Cloud Sect.

”Give up and surrender gracefully! We have already informed several uncles who are the closest, and it wonʼt be long before they arrive!”

The voice drifted to Li Chengshengʼs ears with the breeze, making him even more anxious and restless, but he had no intention of giving up, and his actions became even more intense.

”If you donʼt want to die, get out of my way!” Li Chengshuo activated two third-tier Talismans and threw them into the crowd.

”Third-tier Talismans?!”

”Get out of the way!”

”No, we canʼt let him escape, we wonʼt be able to escape the Sectʼs punishment either.”

If it were before, no matter how severe the punishment was, it wouldnʼt be life-threatening. But now it was different; the punishment had become extremely harsh, often resulting in the end of oneʼs path and life.

On the contrary, bracing against the third-tier Talismans might provide a glimmer of hope for survival.

Hearing these words, the others trembled, their steps faltering. Eventually, most of the Cultivators gritted their teeth and continued to stand in front of Li Chengsheng.

”Why push it to this extent! All the higher-ups of the Wood Spirit Sect have been controlled by Demon Cultivators. They are no longer Cultivators, but Demon Cultivators now!”

”You stole the Sectʼs sacred treasure, and now you still spread such deceitful words! Your heart deserves to be punished!” Most of the Cultivators did not believe him.

But there was also a small group of Cultivators who had found the changes in the Sect strange in recent years, and a seed of doubt had sprouted in their hearts.

Although Li Chengsheng felt sorry for them, when it came to his own life and the safety of his family, he still charged forward relentlessly towards the direction ahead.

Just as he was about to break through the encirclement and flee from this dangerous place, a horrifying aura erupted in the distance, shooting toward this location.

”Hahaha, Uncle is here! Just surrender peacefully!”

Li Chengsheng looked at him as if he were a fool, but the speed of the Spirit Boat didnʼt slow down at all. He smoothly passed the crowd and entered the territory of the Spiritual Cloud Sect.

Watching the approaching Golden Core Demon Cultivator draw nearer and nearer, Li Chengsheng activated two more third-tier Talismans, momentarily holding him off.

But these were the last two third-tier Talismans he had on him. Although he still had a life-saving treasure given to him by Li Zhirui, Li Chengsheng did not want to use it unless he truly reached a desperate situation.

Li Chengsheng ran forward with all his might, not sparing his mana, trying to shake off his pursuer.

Unfortunately, the power of those two third-tier Talismans was limited and could not hold him off for long. After just a short time, he caught up.

Li Chengsheng, after all, was only a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with limited mana inside his body, and after not too long, he was forced to stop due to insufficient mana.

”Run! Why arenʼt you running anymore? Werenʼt you very good at running?” The Golden Core Demon Cultivator looked at him with a mocking face, his eyes flashing with chilling cruelty.

”You think youʼve got me all figured out?”

When the Demon Cultivator saw Li Chengshengʼs calm expression, a strong unease suddenly surged in his heart. He didnʼt dare to toy with his opponent anymore and immediately sent out a palm strike, hoping to end his life right there.

Buzz—

But at the moment he made his move, Li Chengsheng solemnly activated an incredibly mysterious Jade Talisman.

”Huh?”

Far away on Wanxian Island, Li Zhirui, who was practicing Alchemy, instantly sensed that the Divided Spirit Jade Talisman he gave to Li Chengsheng had been activated. He projected his consciousness over immediately.
