Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1151: Counterattack

Li Zhirui quickly skimmed through the contents of the Jade Slip, and he could finally set his worried mind at ease temporarily.

The Immortal Dao influence south of the Cave Abyss Sect had mixed results, but he wasn’t very concerned, because it was too far from the Li family and couldn’t really affect their strategy.

Only the sea area cleared by the Cave Abyss Sect was Li Zhirui’s main concern.

Because if they couldn’t achieve victory, the island chain defense established by the Li family would be unable to resist the Sea Clan’s attacks, forcing them to abandon this hard-fought outpost and retreat to Twin Gorge Immortal City, facing the wrathful retaliation of the Sea Clan.

Fortunately, although the Cave Abyss Sect had not driven the Sea Clan out or captured the sea area, they maintained a significant advantage, possibly soon to receive good news.

Li Zhirui now waited with a fairly calm mental state for news to arrive, while keeping an eye on the situation of the Sea Clan’s clearing behind the island chain. The former was still unknown, but the latter consistently brought good news.

Indeed, it was reasonable; the sea area behind the island chain was the closest to the East Continent, and although there were many Water Devils, their strength was weak, not even a trace of Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils could be found.

With such strength, how could they possibly resist the countless approaching cultivators?

Days later, in the sea area of over four hundred miles between the island chain and the East Continent, the once countless Water Devils either died or fled, almost none remained visible!

Moreover, the cultivators suffered very few casualties in this clearing operation, each wearing satisfied and happy smiles.

After all, this battle posed little threat to them and they gained a lot instead.

On the other side, Li Zhirui, accompanied by Jiang Fengwu, Mu Yuan, and several Individual Immortals, faced off against the Individual Immortal Water Devils of the Sea Clan, with both sides engaging tentatively, knowing they couldn’t resolve the opponent, thus remaining fairly restrained as if waiting for something.

The Water Devils awaited more of their kin from the rear headquarters, especially those at the Individual Immortal Realm, as these surviving Water Devils had witnessed Li Zhirui subduing Chang Chuan.

While Li Zhirui and his group awaited news from the southern Cave Abyss Sect.

If they achieved victory, then striking while the Sea Clan was vulnerable and seizing the coastal area was highly likely!

But if they failed, they would need to withdraw promptly, safely, and preserve their strength.

Two flowers bloom, each showing a part.

The Cave Abyss Sect, which the Li family paid attention to, now held an absolute advantage; unless the Sea Clan could dispatch several Earth Immortals or Human Immortals, they couldn’t reverse the decline.

But clearly, the Sea Clan in this sea area lacked extra strength.

And they realized this severe problem, inevitably developing thoughts of retreat and escape in their minds; since they couldn’t win, they might as well preserve their useful presence and wait for reinforcement from the Sea Clan to jointly deal with the Cave Abyss Sect.

However, there was an Earth Immortal Water Devil unwilling to retreat, giving the entire sea area to the Cave Abyss Sect.

Therefore, it resorted to actions that made the cultivators of the Cave Abyss Sect gnash their teeth with hatred, wanting nothing more than to tear it apart; it ordered all of the Sea Clan to extract the Spirit Veins, destroy the islands, and even commanded low-level Water Devils to directly sabotage the Spirit Veins!

”Damn it!”

”Miserable creature!”

”Stop your actions immediately!”

The Immortal Realm cultivators of the Cave Abyss Sect saw the Water Devils’ movements, instantly erupting with fury, a blazing anger burst in their hearts.

Those who originally did not plan to risk everything couldn’t restrain their anger, storming forward with the fastest speed, using their strongest methods to intercept and kill the Water Devils damaging the Spirit Veins.

Without the Spirit Veins, in this sea area, they couldn’t secure a foothold; without the islands, they wouldn’t even have a place to stand!

Although Spirit Veins and islands could be created, the process not only consumes Spiritual Objects immensely, but also time, and during this process, a substantial amount of effort from the cultivators!

It’s essential to know that after the Cave Abyss Sect took this sea area, they must quickly restore the cultivators’ conditions to withstand the impending retaliation from the Sea Clan.

Yet, due to the Water Devils’ destruction, many cultivators were forced to drag their weary, exhausted bodies, starting from scratch to build and reinforce the outpost, leaving no time for rest or recovery.

And in such a state, how could they resist the fierce attack of the Sea Clan?

Under the wrath of Immortal Realm cultivators, the Water Devils, already incapable, fled miserably, causing greater casualties, but the damage they caused was already significant.

Dozens of islands crumbled, even directly sinking into the seabed; nearby Spiritual Energy became notably thinner, and most Spirit Veins were rendered unextractable due to the Water Devils’ extraction, unless the Cave Abyss Sect wished to bear the Karmic Force of destroying the world!

Which clearly, no cultivator wished to bear.

The Immortal Realm cultivators of the Cave Abyss Sect appeared gloomy one after another, their expressions very unpleasant. Although they captured this sea area relatively smoothly, it was severely damaged!

”Don’t waste any more time!”

An Earth Immortal used thunderous words to awaken everyone, instructing: ”Quickly organize the disciples to build the outpost, ask the sect to immediately send over several Spirit Veins, deploy the Island Defense Array, complete all this before the Sea Clan’s counterattack arrives!”

”Yes!”

With clear objectives, everyone quickly began to act, even the Individual Immortals and Human Immortals were no exception, all aiming to quickly construct a robust defense line to repel the fierce attacks of the Water Devils.
