Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1260: Chapter 1099: Practice Partner

”Something terrible has happened! It’s said that the elders from over ten nearby factions went to visit the Li family, and all mysteriously perished!”

In a certain Immortal City of Shanhai State, a Loose Cultivator shouted in panic.

”Hmm?”

Li Xianxun, who was guarding the Immortal City, heard this person’s voice, and his expression darkened. This comment was clearly malicious, aiming to directly pin the blame on the Li family!

Especially if he was truly afraid, he should leave quickly instead of spreading such news widely in the Immortal City.

Li Xianxun thought for a moment, and a wind rope formed, directly binding the Loose Cultivator still running on the road.

”What are you doing? Is the Li family going to kill me to silence me?” The Loose Cultivator looked at Li Xianxun approaching step by step, terror in his eyes.

”Who instructed you to dare to slander the family so?”

”Who instructed me? I’m merely afraid that the Li family will act against us rootless Loose Cultivators, so I wanted to warn everyone to escape quickly.”

Li Xianxun’s gaze flickered with coldness, ”Is that so? From your eagerness to inform the world, where is there any sign of fear? And when did Loose Cultivators become so compassionate, thinking for others?”

”If you don’t speak the truth, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

The Loose Cultivator trembled all over, face full of struggle, but suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression becoming dazed, and a wound appeared on his neck, with scalding blood gushing out. If not for Li Xianxun’s timely reaction, it might have drenched him!

”Ah! Murder!”

A piercing scream rang out, and the cultivators originally watching the commotion instantly dispersed.

Save me...

I don’t want to die...

Li Xianxun saw the few silent words for help uttered by this person in their final moments, his face dramatically changing, realizing this person had been controlled!

Even he himself had fallen into the calculations of the mastermind behind the scenes!

Li Xianxun recalled the Loose Cultivator’s shifting expressions before their death, understanding much in an instant.

The opponent clearly knew he would leave the City Lord’s Mansion today to patrol the Immortal City, then arranged for such a controlled Loose Cultivator to slander the Li family publicly, but there was definitely truth to the matter!

And in order to prove the family’s innocence, he would surely argue with the Loose Cultivator in full view, then the opponent would manipulate this person to commit suicide!

Thus, Li Xianxun would appear to be silencing a witness, plus the opponent’s framing, making people believe the elders’ deaths of those factions were committed by the Li family!

”Damn it!” Li Xianxun growled, unleashing his Divine Sense fully, attempting to search for suspicious figures in the Immortal City.

But unfortunately, with a large number of cultivators fleeing the Immortal City in panic, it was utterly chaotic, impossible to find the hidden mastermind.

Li Xianxun instructed other family members in the Immortal City to guard the city well and avoid causing further chaos and turmoil, then transformed into Spirit Light and headed straight for Mount Wanxian.

”Hehe, the impending disaster is arriving too slowly, really making it hard to wait!” In a corner of the city, a seemingly unremarkable cultivator revealed a smile with evil energy.

”So let the chaos begin, more slaughter!”

And due to worry that situations could develop unfavorably for the family, the speeding Li Xianxun now returned to Mount Wanxian, heading straight for the family hall.

”Clan Leader! Something terrible has happened, the family has been calculated against!”

Li Xianxun burst in, realizing after speaking that all the elders were present, each with a very serious expression.

”Is it the case that rumors are spreading that the family killed the elders of over ten factions?”

”What I have to say isn’t just about this matter.” Li Xianxun explained how he had been set up by a mastermind, leading to chaos in the Immortal City.

Li Yunchang sighed helplessly: ”You cannot be blamed for this matter, after all, who is it that exhausts their mind calculating against the family?”

”Cave Abyss Sect? Or is it the ten factions joining forces?”

The elders wore bitter smiles; it truly was wave after wave without respite, successive calculations with step-by-step arrangements leaving no room for the Li family to breathe.

”Clan Leader, what should we do now? The family’s income has a substantial portion coming from those Loose Cultivators staying in Shanhai State. If they leave due to this matter, it would be a huge blow to the family!” The Internal Affairs Elder had to speak up, as the sooner the current situation was resolved, the better.

If left unchecked, once the news spread completely, even if the Li family later clarified the truth with solid evidence, many cultivators would not believe it.

After all, the cost of spreading rumors is far lower than clarifying explanations!

”There is no need to block the message; let it spread.” Li Yunchang pondered for a long time, giving a surprising answer to everyone.

”Clan Leader! This way, the family’s subsequent income will drastically decrease!”

The Internal Affairs Elder quickly said: ”Those millions of Loose Cultivators account for nearly half of the family’s revenue each year! We cannot let the message spread!”

Li Yunchang steadfastly maintained his stance, explaining: ”If it were normal times before, I would undoubtedly follow your suggestion, Elder, but it is not the same now!”

”When the great disaster strikes, evil Qi will pervade the heavens and earth, those Loose Cultivators lacking firm Dao Hearts will hardly endure for long before their minds are obscured, and a single spark will lead to war!”

What will come from war? Death, evil Qi, Karmic Forces, and more!

And these are precisely the components that constitute a great disaster and could even exacerbate the core of the disaster.

The Li family is not in a hurry to send them away, or do they want to leave them to await the family’s great disaster?

To speak of it, the Li family’s clear understanding of the great disaster is thanks to Li Zhixuan, who personally participated in a great disaster before, so her understanding is only natural.
