Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1101: Intensification

The Li family cultivators hidden by the city wall and the clansmen ambushed not far outside the city instantly charged out, surrounding the loose cultivators from front to back, trapping them by the city gate, unable to enter or leave.

Moreover, having been betrayed, the already disunited loose cultivators were thrown into a panic, each only thinking of their own survival, with no one organizing an effective counterattack.

Until many loose cultivators fell into pools of blood, the thick smell of blood forced those who survived to calm down. Only then did someone shout loudly, ”Do not panic, everyone act together, break through the Li family’s encirclement, it’s our only chance to survive!”

”Realizing it now? Too late!”

Li Xianxun sneered, stepping out with Li Mingyao, Li Yunran, and others by his side.

Against several Integration cultivators, this rabble had no power to resist, wailing and screaming as they lost their lives.

Some loose cultivators begged for mercy, but since they dared target the Li family, they naturally had to be prepared to bear the consequences of Li’s wrath!

”What’s happening outside? Why do I hear the sounds of fighting and screams?”

At first, the cultivators inside the city thought there was an invasion by external enemies, worried, they rushed out to see the situation; the clansmen arranged by the Li family to maintain order did not stop them.

However, when they reached the east gate, they could still see the fighting, or rather, the scene of the Li family brutally suppressing and massacring their opponents.

The thick and pungent smell of blood, the ground covered with broken limbs and remains, the cries of despair, all assaulted these cultivators.

”What... exactly happened?”

Even the well-experienced loose cultivators turned pale in the face of the scene before them.

”These loose cultivators attempted to attack the Immortal City, secretly contacting some inner-city cultivators, trying to work from inside and outside to plunder the lives and spiritual objects of those within the city, but they didn’t expect the family to intercept the information in advance.” A Li family cultivator, who had been prepared for this, explained calmly.

The Li family deliberately let them come, partly to use their mouths to spread the word and achieve the purpose of intimidating everyone.

Meanwhile, several clansmen were observing in the crowd, checking for any accomplices.

”I see! Thank you, all the seniors and fellow daoists, if not for your rescue, we might have lost our lives in our dreams.” A perceptive cultivator quickly stepped forward, expressing gratitude in flattering tones.

”No need for that; the family did not act for you but for their own dignity and face.” The clansman spoke mercilessly.

With a time of great contention near, the Li family was not eager to accept too many loose cultivators in their territory because loose cultivators are easily seduced into causing turmoil, so one elder suggested driving them out or at least concentrating them in one or two Immortal Cities, though it wasn’t implemented.

However, with this event, perhaps there was now a turning point.

”Haha...” Even though anger welled up within upon hearing these blunt words, the cultivator lacked the courage to vent it, and could only awkwardly chuckle.

In just a moment, all the loose cultivators who had come to attack the Immortal City turned into corpses, collected by the Li family, to be burned to ashes on an open field the next day.

”The night is still long, everyone please go back to rest.”

The clansman began to disperse the people, moving away himself, ”By the way, if any of you are free at noon tomorrow, you can go five miles outside the city to watch these cultivators be burned to ashes.”

After saying this, without waiting for a response from the crowd, he left with the other clansmen.

”The Li family is making an example to frighten the monkeys!”

”Ha! Listening to your words, might you also have the same suicidal thought?”

A nearby cultivator mocked teasingly, ”While the Li family people haven’t gone far, why don’t you try it? Maybe you have a harder head, and they can’t do anything to you.”

”Frightening the monkeys? To the Li family, do we even qualify as ’monkeys’? More like ants ready to lose our lives at any moment.”

”Sigh! With this event, the Li family might also bear grudges against us loose cultivators! The world is vast, yet there is nowhere to find peace.”

”It’s all because of the so-called great contention! Otherwise, we might not have ended up in such a miserable state.”

A group of loose cultivators, with mixed thoughts, parted ways with complaints in the air.

Little did they know, their complaints unknowingly became fodder for the world’s evil qi, even if only slightly, but it still hastened the arrival of a great catastrophe!

Early the next day, with the arrangements already made by the Li family and the testimony of those cultivators who witnessed the tragedy of the loose cultivators firsthand, loose cultivators across Shanhai State were plunged into unease.

Many loose cultivators left Shanhai State, unaware that the situation outside was not any better, perhaps even worse than under the Li family’s rule.

Nevertheless, the Li family not only achieved the goal of eliminating loose cultivators but also completed the task of intimidating the masses.

The once-boiling trend in Shanhai State cooled down significantly because of this incident.

However, the challenge for the Li family did not stop!

In the north, the low-level demon beasts invaded various villages, thousands of clansmen traversed the hills and mountains, killing these foolish beasts.

At the same time, a group of array masters moved behind, seeking the locations to set the formation bases.

In order to prepare for the great catastrophe, the Li family planned to unify the northern villages into cities, mutually supporting each other, forming a great array, and stationing some clansmen to guard, thus both preventing the continued southward advance of the beasts and protecting the secular clansmen.
