Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1155: Turning the Tables

Since they agreed to Hao’s suggestion, everyone did not dawdle and decisively found a group of seriously injured disciples whose lives were at risk.

”Now our Sect is at a critical juncture, and we need you all to undertake a significant task. If successful, the Sect can reverse the situation and turn defeat into victory! Are you all willing to take on this responsibility?”

”We are already as good as dead, and if we can repay the Sect with our broken bodies, it would be the least we can do for the Sect’s many years of nurturing!” a disciple immediately said loudly.

”That’s right! I am willing to repay the Sect!”

Most of the disciples shouted with all their strength.

”Good!”

The Earth Immortal shouted with approval, and a hint of admiration and pride appeared on his face. How could he not feel proud to have cultivated such a loyal group of disciples?

”Rest assured, the Sect will take good care of your offspring and families, and your sacrifices will not be in vain!”

After reassuring everyone with promises, the Earth Immortal finally revealed the plan to destroy the Spirit Vein.

”The Sect will arrange for someone to take you to the Spirit Vein. When the time comes, use the Heavenly Thunder Pellet to blow it up!”

The disciples were stunned at such words, completely unexpected that the Sect would ask them to do such a thing.

However, upon further thought, they realized they were already short-lived, and with the Sect’s various promises, their hesitation quickly vanished.

”You will all become heroes who save the Sect. As long as the Cave Abyss Sect stands, your contributions will never be forgotten!”

”Thank you, Ancestor!”

Everyone felt warmth in their hearts, never thinking that they would have the chance to become heroes.

Quickly, more than twenty Individual Immortals silently led them away from the base, sneaked into the sea, carefully bypassing the Water Devils’ positions. Thanks to Cave Abyss Sect’s previous exploration of the surrounding waters, they soon found the nearby Spirit Vein.

”From here, it’s up to you to contribute to the Sect. Your contributions will never be forgotten!”

Saying this, the Individual Immortal even bowed to them.

At every Spirit Vein location, it was the same words and actions, yet it made those disciples’ hearts surge with enthusiasm and their blood boil.

But what they didn’t know was that the Cave Abyss Sect didn’t fully trust them. After all, when faced with imminent death, fear might arise.

Therefore, to prevent anyone from backing out in the end, the Cave Abyss Sect tampered with the Heavenly Thunder Pellet, so it would automatically explode if held or not activated promptly!

Boom——

So the moment these disciples took out the Heavenly Thunder Pellet, it exploded immediately!

The violent thunder ravaged, and the terrifying destructive power instantly shattered the Spirit Vein.

Simultaneously, the explosion of the Spirit Vein triggered tsunamis and even nearby volcanic eruptions.

The dreadful calamities spread in all directions, with the first to suffer being the million Water Devils. Many Water Devils in the peripheral areas had no idea such a disaster was coming and suffered huge losses in a short time while unprepared.

Fortunately, the tsunami and volcano were at some distance, and with a large number of peripheral Water Devils dead, although causing massive upheaval, the core region of Water Devils was only in some chaos and didn’t result in much damage.

”What’s going on? Did the Cave Abyss Sect feel they couldn’t win head-on, so they launched these kinds of secretive attacks?” Many Water Devils flew into the air, gazing at the island not far away, unable to understand the purpose of Cave Abyss Sect’s actions.

”No!”

But soon, some Water Devils realized the problem, their faces turning extremely grim, suppressing their inner rage as they growled, ”That bunch of bastards destroyed the surrounding Spirit Veins!”

”Are they crazy?! Aren’t these cultivators most concerned about Karmic Force and cause and effect? Aren’t they afraid of Karmic Force backlash for destroying so many Spirit Veins?”

”This battle decides the outcome for both sides and poses a threat to the foundation of the Cave Abyss Sect. If they weren’t ruthless, how could they possibly defeat us?”

These words caused the scene to fall into silence.

Because if the situation was reversed, and they faced such a critical situation, they would undoubtedly make the same choice without hesitation!

Although there are still some Spirit Veins in the sea territory where the Water Devils are stationed, compared to a million Water Devils, these Spirit Veins are drops in the bucket, utterly unable to support so many Water Devils’ absorption. Eventually, this may even lead to all Spiritual Energy being sucked dry.

Bear in mind, even before the Spirit Veins were destroyed, a considerable number of Water Devils relied on absorbing Spirit Stones to restore mana.

Now with a massive reduction in Spiritual Energy in this world, they can hold on for only one great battle!

If this battle is lost, then their massive offensive would end in failure, perhaps even turning into a hasty retreat, with many Water Devils getting killed by cultivators during the escape, turning what was initially an advantage into a tragic defeat.

Although unaware of the situation in the other two battlefields, this sea territory seems likely to fall into the hands of the Immortal Tao!

”What should we do now?”

Facing this situation, many Water Devils in the Individual Immortal Realm felt the urge to retreat, not wanting to continue entangling further.

”Fight! Give me a decisive battle. I don’t believe we will lose!” But there were also some Water Devils unwilling to retreat like this.

Seeing victory over these cultivators and reclaiming this sea territory within reach, only to give it up now because the Spirit Vein was destroyed, they couldn’t accept it.

”But have you considered, if we lose this battle, or if the cultivators hold on until our clansmen’s mana is exhausted, what kind of outcome will we face? How many clansmen will die?” The Water Devil advocating retreat questioned.
