Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1467: Chapter 1202: Collapse (Part 2)

”That’s right! As long as those Water Devils dare to come, we’ll dare to fight! We’ll beat them so hard they’ll roll back into the deep sea!” Xiaoqing shouted passionately.

”Fight! Beat them so hard they’ll roll back!” The clan members seemed infected by the spirit, shouting with high morale.

The sound shot straight into the sky, resonating hundreds of miles, echoing with fighting spirit in the boundless sea and sky.

Li Zhirui watched the scene, amused and shook his head, but did not stop them, for the Li family had the strength for this.

Though the family has maintained a low profile for years, perhaps this led the Sea Clan to underestimate their true strength? But remaining low-key isn’t always good; sometimes it’s necessary to show one’s claws!

Previously, there were no surrounding forces that gave the Li family a chance to demonstrate their power, either because they were faced with giants like the Cave Abyss Sect, or with forces far inferior to the family.

This time, the Sea Clan’s major invasion is quite a good opportunity to showcase their power.

...

Meanwhile, those fleeing Water Devils quickly gathered together and swam towards the Sea Clan’s main base, Dragon Palace, needing to strengthen their forces, not only to seize that sea region but also to avenge their previous humiliation!

”Are you saying the Li family’s strength is formidable, and one of them alone forced you all back?” A Human Immortal Realm Water Devil in charge of scheduling personnel questioned coldly.

Clearly, it was skeptical about their claims, suspecting they might be making excuses for their failure.

”Yes, everything we said is true, everyone can testify, so we need stronger power, otherwise we can’t take that sea region at all.”

”The Sea Clan’s collected data is from over a hundred years ago about the Li family, and they’ve developed very well over the years...”

The Water Devils that fled back were all talking about how strong the Li family was, needing the Sea Clan to send more power.

But with so many Water Devils saying this, and the injuries on them couldn’t be faked, it couldn’t ignore this request.

Only...

Thinking about the number of Individual Immortals still not dispatched, and the intense battles on the front lines, it pondered for a long time and said solemnly: ”Currently, we can only give you four more Individual Immortals of the same clan.”

What good are just a few people?

Those Water Devils that fled back thought similarly and wanted to ask for a few more, but were directly chased out.

No choice, they could only take those four and leave dejectedly.

”With our current strength, going against the Li family is no different from seeking death!”

”Yes, the strength of that person is probably not much inferior to a Human Immortal, right?”

Each Water Devil was full of complaints.

”How about we don’t act for the time being? Let’s see how the situation develops first and then consider it.” One Water Devil said softly.

”This... Isn’t too good, right?”

Despite the words, their expressions were quite tempted.

Then the Li family waited a long time but did not see those Water Devils arrive, feeling quite surprised, could it be that the Sea Clan directly gave up on this sea region of the Li family?

This speculation made many clan members of the Li family feel regret, as they wanted to gain more cultivation resources through this beast tide, but ended up with nothing.

It also allowed forces developing in the same sea region as the Li family to breathe a sigh of relief, as peace was preferable.

”Didn’t expect those Water Devils to be so weak and timid. If I had known they didn’t dare to come again, we should have fought to kill them all!” Xiaoqing said regretfully.

”Yes!” Li Xianxun and others echoed.

Li Zhirui looked at this scene and couldn’t help but find it amusing. Others avoided them like the plague, yet they were filled with regret.

”Those Water Devils are cowardly but are also watching the situation. If the advantage is on the Sea Clan’s side, they certainly won’t remain so quiet.”

Despite the Sea Clan’s unexpected actions, caution was still necessary, not really becoming careless, allowing the Sea Clan to seize the opportunity and cause significant damage to the family.

”Rest assured, Fellow Daoist, we will listen day and night for any movements and news from those Water Devils,” Feng Buxi said.

The Wind Breath Clan has been developing well over the years, but they have no intention of breaking away from the Li family and remain as their vassals.

One reason is they are certain of the Li family’s great luck, which can help them reduce the Heavenly Dao’s malice, and the other is because of Xiaoqing the Wind God.

Many members of the Wind Breath Clan work under Xiaoqing, then they found that their cultivation speed was noticeably faster.

Most importantly, they can accumulate merit, which may one day completely counteract the Heavenly Dao’s malice, allowing the Wind Breath Clan to be like other races.

”Then I shall rely on everyone.” Li Zhirui nodded. With the Wind Breath Clan’s surveillance, there’s less worry of a sudden attack by the Sea Clan.

At that time, they might even turn the tables on them.

Two flowers bloom, each showing its own.

The Li family quickly ended this battle, but the Cave Abyss Sect, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and other major forces were still deeply entangled, unable to extricate themselves.

After all, these major forces bear most of the pressure from the Sea Clan, and regardless of the battle scale or the intensity, they are incomparable.

”Kill!”

An Individual Immortal Water Devil roared and launched an attack, each move was powerful, even the air hummed with it, yet the cultivator in front wielding the Purple and Blue Sword responded effortlessly, showing no pressure.

As time passed, the Water Devil’s strength began to weaken, while the cultivator increased its power, each move like a thunderous force that couldn’t be withstand.

Soon, the Water Devil’s body was covered with wounds, each bleeding without stopping, unable to stop because there was something strange in the opponent’s mana, constantly making it bleed.

If this fighting continued, even without the cultivator’s strike, the Water Devil would die!

So it dared not continue fighting any longer, trying to escape the battlefield to save itself.

But unfortunately, before it started to act, it was beheaded by a single stroke, losing its life.

The cultivator, without resting, went on to find another opponent.

...

Overall, the Cave Abyss Sect’s battlefield, they still held the advantage, but the losses weren’t small.

While further south, the Great Zhou Dynasty was exceedingly domineering.

Although they didn’t actively attack, guarding the Dynasty’s sea boundary, hence the Great Zhou navy could use the Dynasty’s luck to exert real power.

In the initial battle stages, they didn’t deploy soldiers but attempted a series of new Mo Family inventions and creations.

Such as saltpeter giant crossbows, continuous catapults, and other machines.

The destructive power was indeed incredible, ordinary seven or eighth tier Water Devils wouldn’t dare to withstand even a single hit directly, if dozens fired at once, even Individual Immortals had to avoid the sharpness.

But there were also problems with difficulty in operation, hard to hit, and easy damage to parts among others.

The accompanying Mo Family disciples recorded these problems, upon returning to land they would conduct research to improve these machines.

This real-world battle experiment caused a lot of suffering to the Water Devils, resulting in not few casualties without even encountering the enemy, leaving them furious but also becoming slightly fearful.

Speaking of which, this was the first time the Sea Clan fought with Human Dao forces.

Despite the Sea Clan collecting plenty information beforehand, there inevitably remained some errors and outdated content, so they haven’t emphasized the Great Zhou Dynasty like they have with the Cave Abyss Sect.

No one knows why the Sea Clan missed how the Great Zhou Dynasty maintained an advantage in its long-standing conflict with the Cave Abyss Sect, this extremely important information.

In short, the Sea Clan paid a very heavy price for their disdain!

The Water Devils responsible for attacking the Great Zhou Dynasty’s sea territory, less than one fifth of them survived to return!

And this was without deploying the elite of the Dynasty.

This immediately disrupted the Sea Clan’s plans.
