Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1324: Chapter 1131: Unexpected

”So that’s how it is!”

Upon learning this news, Li Zhirui and his companions couldn’t help but express this sentiment.

No wonder the Sea Clan launched a massive invasion on Shanhai State this time, causing countless Mortal Realm Water Devils to perish, and either killing or capturing five Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils, yet no further response was seen for some time.

It turns out the Sea Clan has already taken control of a water region and plans to defend it with all their might, aiming to plot against other areas of the East Continent in the future.

They naturally would not send a massive army to attack the easily defended but hard-to-conquer Shanhai State again.

However, whether the Sea Clan will retaliate later depends on the casualties after this battle.

If they can hold this place with not too many casualties, Shanhai State and the Li family, who made the Sea Clan suffer, might soon face a fierce attack from many Water Devils.

Li Zhirui pondered for a moment, then took out the map of the East Continent, found the territories of the forces that had fallen, and smiled as he said: ”After this battle with the Sea Clan, whether win or lose, the family will not need to worry for the time being.”

Having said that, he projected the map into the air and marked the areas currently occupied by the Sea Clan.

Coincidently, that area is located between the two top powers of the Cave Abyss Sect and the Yumen He Family of the Immortal Tao!

Back then, to guard against the calamity of the Sea Clan, many Great Abilities of the Immortal Tao spread a lot of inheritances along the coast of the East Sea. Among them, the Cave Abyss Sect and Yumen He Family were the outstanding ones.

So these two were very close, only eight thousand miles apart, unlike other top powers, separated by hundreds of thousands, or even millions of miles.

Moreover, these eight thousand miles were deliberately allocated out by the two, not wanting to see a great war break out within the Immortal Tao, letting the Sea Clan reap the benefits, so they made a conscious separation.

Of course, this vast territory is claimed not to belong to the two externally but has long been a dependency, just not directly involved.

They only left the central thousand miles for some unrelated forces to occupy as a buffer zone for the two major powers.

And the water area captured by the Sea Clan is this thousand-mile scattered territory, named Wan Family State.

After all, this place has many forces but is weak and self-contained, so the Sea Clan could naturally take it easily.

But doing so violated a taboo!

Because the reason Wan Family State could exist was entirely due to the deliberate intention of the Cave Abyss Sect and Yumen He Family.

”Zhixuan, didn’t you want to experience battle? If you are eager, why not head south to train first,” Li Zhirui teased with a smile.

Li Zhixuan shook her head and said, ”If I show great prowess on the battlefield and kill too much, the Sea Clan will surely retaliate against the family later. It’s more suitable to head west and engage in the Immortal Demon war.”

Countless people in the Sea Clan have witnessed Li Zhixuan’s methods, and her sword dao is sharp, unlike Li Zhirui, who can conceal his methods. Once she strikes, her identity will be exposed.

Unless she gives up her sword, but Li Zhixuan has spent her life learning the Life-taking Sword of her Three-feet Qingfeng. If she abandons it, what will she use to fight and kill her enemies?

On the distant Immortal Demon Battlefield, there are no such worries. Not to mention whether the Demonic Tao recognizes Li Zhixuan or not, even if they do, they couldn’t possibly travel billions of miles to seek revenge on the Li family.

Moreover, with the cold and indifferent nature of the Demonic Tao, those willing to avenge their peers are probably rare anomalies.

”Hmm, Zhixuan makes a valid point, I overlooked this.”

Jiang Fengwu, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly said: ”Do you think that the fall of Wan Family State this time is truly the Sea Clan’s doing? Is it possible that those two great powers intentionally set a trap to lure the Sea Clan in, aiming to catch it all at once?”

After all, the number of the Sea Clan is vast, and their war potential is deep, far exceeding the combined strength of the two families. Rather than allowing them to attack everywhere, causing chaos in various places, it’s better to lure them into one place and devise a way to annihilate them.

”Though the Sea Clan is often clumsy and stupid, surely they’re not so inept as to not see through such a strategy?” Li Zhixuan found it hard to believe Jiang Fengwu’s situation could occur.

”Didn’t I get deceived?”

Li Zhirui narrowed his eyes, pondering the possibility of Jiang Fengwu’s words. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. The Yumen He Family and Cave Abyss Sect would surely not allow the Sea Clan to invade everywhere, so the best strategy would be to lure them all to one place for elimination.

He thought about this a lot, mainly because the outcome of this battle concerns the future of Shanhai State and the Li family.

If the Sea Clan gains a foothold, they can travel anywhere along the water systems, though not like before requesting enthronement, but still expanding their territory!

One day, it will involve the Li family, even if Shanhai State is on the sidelines, it will not be spared.

And if the Sea Clan is driven back to the East Sea again, they will definitely suffer many casualties and need time to recuperate, so the Li family will not be disturbed by them in the short term.

Li Zhirui naturally hoped for the latter, giving the Li family time to rest.

Unfortunately, the Li family is far from Wan Family State, making it difficult for information from the battlefield to reach them, so they had no idea whether the current situation favored the Sea Clan or the cultivators.

Therefore, they couldn’t bring back all the clan members stationed at the two gorge cities yet, still needing to guard against another Sea Clan attack.

Besides, those loose cultivators and small force disciples attracted by Spiritual Objects departed upon seeing the battle had ended.

They came for benefits, and now that there’s nothing to gain, they naturally left.

Li Zhirui and his companions didn’t mind, letting them go was fine.

In the coming days, they would wait for news of the battle’s outcome before deciding on further actions.

Thus, unlike the previous harsh and dangerous battles, everyone was quite relaxed.
