Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1103: Defection

Li Zhirui didn’t choose to intervene immediately; instead, he discreetly scattered some Spirit Vines seeds to block the retreat of the Demon Cultivators, preventing any chance of escape.

At the same time, he intended to temper the minds of everyone, letting them have a good battle against the Demon Cultivators.

”Damn it! The cloud boat they are on has such strong defenses that it’s impossible to break through, let alone take them down.” A heavily injured Demon Cultivator cursed in anger.

Their attacks were blocked by the cloud boat, yet the opponent’s attacks were unobstructed, forcing them to divide their attention for defense, making it impossible to fully concentrate on the battle.

As for why they didn’t cooperate with the nearby Demon Cultivators, one in charge of attacking, and one defending?

Because if they really did that, they might not die at the hands of the Li family, but instead become cultivation material for their own kind.

Demon Cultivators trust no one!

As time passed, the Demon Cultivators became increasingly unable to withstand the pressure, with many sustaining serious injuries, unable to continue fighting.

”A bunch of useless trash!”

Seeing the imminent defeat, several Mahayana Demon Cultivators who had yet to make a move could no longer sit idly, coldly reprimanding before launching powerful attacks on the cloud boat.

”This is bad! Everyone, quickly weaken the attacks. The cloud boat can’t withstand such power.”

Li Honghai loudly reminded everyone while unleashing his strongest Divine Power, waves appearing out of thin air and pressing down continuously.

But the power difference was too large; his attack couldn’t withstand theirs. In an instant, the waves were shattered, and those few attacks continued with overwhelming momentum.

”To force these Demon Cultivators to this extent is already quite impressive.”

Seeing this, Li Zhirui stopped watching nonchalantly. With just a finger’s flick, the Divine Power that everyone couldn’t counter halted in mid-air and turned into scattered Spirit Light the next moment, dissipating.

”Ancestor Rui!”

The members of the Li family saw Li Zhirui suddenly appear on the cloud boat and shouted happily.

Only Li Honghai and Li Hongquan showed signs of shame, having led the team to deal with the Demon Cultivators, yet nearly causing all the family members to perish here.

”You have already done very well; after all, the gap between cultivation levels is not something that can be bridged by external means.”

Li Zhirui comforted them with a few words and then turned his gaze to the Demon Cultivators who were already trembling all over, fully aware of their impending fate.

It’s not that they don’t want to escape; as soon as Li Zhirui appeared, they desperately wanted to flee, but before they could act, countless Spirit Vines had already grown around, encircling the area into a prison.

”It’s over!”

The Demon Cultivators witnessing this scene were filled with despair, with some even falling into a coma due to their unstable state of mind.

Without Li Zhirui making any moves, the prison spawned vines that bound all the Demon Cultivators. While they wouldn’t die instantly, their fate wouldn’t be much better than death.

Because they would become the whetstones for the members of the Li family!

”The matters that follow are up to you to arrange.”

The matters Li Zhirui referred to were purifying Qingzhu Mountain. Considering it had been occupied by Demon Cultivators, who knows how many corpses it accumulated, or how much Death Energy and Evil Qi was gathered.

Li Honghai hesitantly asked, ”Ancestor Rui, shouldn’t the family occupy this Spirit Mountain of Qingzhu Sect?”

”The Qingzhu Sect still has disciples, it hasn’t been destroyed. Besides, under the current circumstances, we shouldn’t occupy too many Spirit Veins, as it would disperse the family’s strength.”

If the Li family were to truly occupy this Spirit Mountain, Qingzhu Sect’s disciples wouldn’t dare to have differing opinions, and at most, they’d be criticized for poor etiquette.

But that doesn’t matter; the key lies in the following reason.

Li Honghai was taken aback, realizing that the family had long begun to contract its sphere of influence, so how could they occupy Qingzhu Mountain at this time?

”Handle this well, and immediately return to Mount Wanxian. No matter what you hear or see, do not stop on the way!”

As he spoke, Li Zhirui left a white lotus on the cloud boat and then departed first with the bound Demon Cultivators.

However, the direction he left wasn’t towards Mount Wanxian but rather flying north.

Everyone was puzzled but obediently followed Li Zhirui’s instructions, and shortly, the cloud boat carried the family members on the return journey.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, heading northward, ’encountered’ an Individual Immortal Realm being!

The aura emanating from it wasn’t like that of a human or monster, making its identity unrecognizable.

”The esteemed one invited me here specifically for a discussion; what might be the reason?”

Li Zhirui had left earlier precisely because he heard the invitation in the wind, intending to attend the meeting.

”I am Feng Buming of the Fengxi Clan, greetings, Fellow Daoist.”

Feng Buming bowed in greeting and continued, ”I have invited Fellow Daoist solely for one matter, earnestly requesting to save the lives of over a thousand people of the Fengxi Clan!”

”Fellow Daoist, what do you mean by this? Your cultivation level is higher than mine; how could I have the ability to save the lives of your clan?” Li Zhirui frowned in confusion, unable to understand why the other would make such a request.

”This is but a slim chance investigated by our clan’s Great Elder, sacrificing a thousand years of lifespan for the Fengxi Clan!”

Feng Buming looked at Li Zhirui with resolute determination and said, ”If Fellow Daoist has doubts, I can represent the Fengxi Clan to sign an allegiance contract, and make an oath to The Great Tao!”

In his hand was a golden fan with mysterious writings on the fan surface, occasionally flashing with Spirit Light, an indication of fluctuating luck.
