Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 586 - 592: Turmoil

Among them, a Demon Cultivator took out a Treasure Mirror with a flick of his hand, which had several light spots flickering on it, indicating the positions of the Robbing Cultivators.

”They are about to get close to the Formationʼs nodes.”

They certainly knew that sabotaging the Array Eyes would be more efficient, but the Array Eyes were located deep within Xuanfa State, and there were countless powerful Cultivators nearby. Outsiders who even slightly approached would be captured, and it was simply impossible to accomplish the task.

The defense around the nodes, however, was not as tight, which provided them with an opportunity.

”Get ready, the moment they step into the range of the nodes, set off the Magical Treasures immediately!”

”Understood!” The Demon Cultivator in charge of controlling the Magical Treasures had a look of madness and excitement in his eyes, with Mana amassed within him, ready to be unleashed.

On the other side!

Those foolish Cultivators who were being used were carefully avoiding the nearby patrolling personnel, their hearts pounding incessantly, and the cult-like fervor on their faces was frightening to behold.

They believed they were doing something that would shock the world, completely unaware that they were just pitiful puppets.

One of them hid in a corner, staring ahead with intense focus, looking for a chance to break through the obstacles.

Thump—

Thump—

In that moment, he felt as though he had entered a deadly silent space, where the only sound was his heart beating.

”Now is the time!”

Seeing the deserted path, he dashed out in a flash, his face alight with a sacred aura as if he could already see himself being admired and marveled at by countless Cultivators.

”Take action!”

What he did not know, however, was that at the same time, hundreds of miles away, an urgent and excited voice had called out.

Boom—

When the Magical Treasure exploded, his facial expression didnʼt even have time to change before his body was torn asunder, and a stronger shockwave ground his flesh into dust.

And this one Formation node suffered severe damage in the explosion, causing the Formation to fail to fully deploy and resulting in a breach.

”Set off the Magical Treasures on the others!”

The first explosion had already attracted the attention of Xuanfa Pavilion. They would definitely reinforce their defenses immediately, rendering it impossible for the Robbing Cultivators to approach. It was better to set off the explosions now and cause chaos.

Although it was late, it was not yet curfew time, and there were still many Cultivators in Xuanfa State. Their presence would delay the actions of Xuanfa Pavilion.

Boom—

Several more explosions plunged Xuanfa State into complete chaos.

Some Cultivators only thought of escaping to avoid putting themselves in danger, but others, more audacious, sought to take advantage of the turmoil to acquire some Spiritual Objects.

Regardless of their intentions, both kinds contributed to the escalating chaos of the scene.

”How dare you run amok in my Xuanfa State!” a thunderous roar resounded across the entire region.

Then, a pair of eyes composed of lightning appeared in the skies of Xuanfa State, gazing down coldly from above as if searching for something.

It also brought a semblance of order to the chaotic scene.

”Demon Cultivators! Youʼre courting death!” In just a few breaths, that thunderous voice sounded again, the piercing, ear-splitting tone causing immense discomfort to everyone.

The giant eyes shot out several rays of Divine Light, transforming into roaring thunder that struck all the Demon Cultivators unconscious before carrying them back to the center of Xuanfa State.

They needed to thoroughly investigate how these Demon Cultivators had infiltrated Xuanfa State, especially since they had set up several measures to screen for Demon Cultivators and prevent their incursion to the greatest extent.

But now that Demon Cultivators had appeared, it meant either they had methods to evade surveillance, or there was an insider within the Xuanfa Pavilion!

Both possibilities were gravely serious, particularly the latter, which could very well trigger a top-down purge!

”Uncle Shiling, something terrible has happened!” Li Chenghuo was awakened by the successive explosions and, after instructing several accompanying Elders to tally the numbers, hurriedly knocked on the small bell hanging on Li Zhiruiʼs door.

Li Zhiruiʼs eyes snapped open, and he quickly stabilized the mana within his body before opening the door to let Li Chenghuo in, ”What happened? Is there a conflict between our clan members and others?”

”No, thereʼs been a major incident in Xuanfa State!” Li Chenghuo said anxiously, ”There have been several explosions in Xuanfa State just now, someone seems to be trying to cause chaos.”

After hearing this, Li Zhiruiʼs expression turned grave as he said in a deep voice, ”Are all our people on the Spirit Boat?”

”I just had several Elders count the numbers...”

And then they heard the thunderous roar of the Divine Transformation ancestor.

Once the pain eased a bit, Li Zhirui quickly walked onto the deck, his expression solemn as he looked towards Xuanfa State, suddenly feeling a very bad premonition.

”Uncle Shiling, the Elders have finished counting, all our clansmen are on the Spirit Boat.”

Li Zhirui let out a slight sigh of relief and made a decisive decision, ”Weʼre leaving now!”

”Dad, what happened? Why do we need to leave in such a hurry?” Li Chengshuo was also resting in her room when she was awakened by the Elder who had just finished counting, so she wasnʼt very clear about the current situation.

Before Li Zhirui could reply, the roaring voice of the Divine Transformation ancestor gave her the answer.

”What Demon Cultivator would dare to be so audacious?!”

”We canʼt wait any longer, we need to start the Spirit Boat and leave now!”

Li Zhirui ordered urgently, ”Cheng Huo, you and Shuo go to the other two Spirit Boats, personally steer the Spirit Boats, and follow closely behind me!”

”Yes!”

The two immediately leapt onto the Spirit Boats.

Seeing the main ship continue to ascend, rather than flying directly east, they were somewhat puzzled but still followed Li Zhiruiʼs instructions and kept up.

The various forces that had come to the Xuanfa Pavilion with the Li family were now plunged into chaos.

Unlike the Li family, they still had many Cultivators who hadnʼt boarded the Spirit Boats and were still in Xuanfa State.

”Uncle Master, what should we do now?”

To abandon those clan members and follow the Li family, or to wait for their return and risk being left behind by the Li family, flying tens of thousands of miles alone.

This dilemma faced each force internally; some chose to follow the Li family, while others stayed behind and mutually agreed to act together later, forming a large fleet to reduce risks.

Li Zhirui paid no attention to these hangers-on and raised the shipʼs altitude to the limit where the Spirit Boat could fly smoothly. They were now thousands of zhang above the ground, and any further ascent would mean winds that a third-rank Spirit Boat couldnʼt withstand.

”Fly full speed towards Wanxian Island!”

While controlling the Spirit Boat, Li Zhirui glanced below.

Sure enough, outside Xuanfa State, countless Demon Cultivators lay in ambush, just waiting for the right moment to charge forth!

After a few breaths, to Li Zhiruiʼs eyes, the Demon Cultivators resembled an overwhelming black tide, stirring up towering waves, surging towards Xuanfa State like a solitary island.
