Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1308: Despair (Part 2)

But what they didn’t know was that, not far to the south outside the Mountain Gate, a group of cultivators had been hiding for many days and finally saw several cloud boats departing.

”Go! Our mission is complete. Hurry back and report this to the patriarch.” The leader of the group, a member of the Li family, couldn’t hide the excitement even when speaking in the lowest possible voice.

The others nodded and silently flew away.

Soon, Li Zhixuan, Jiang Fengwu, and the others learned this crucial news.

”Now we just wait for Jiu to emerge, and we can take action!”

Among them, Xiaoqing, Cang, Li Mingyao, and other divine figures were the most excited, for destroying an Earth Immortal force and all the Spirit Veins there was no small achievement.

”Is it just me left?”

A voice familiar to everyone suddenly sounded, prompting them to turn around and see Li Zhirui stepping out with calm breath and vigorous spirit.

”Jiu! Your injuries have finally healed.”

”Indeed...” He sighed with emotion, thinking about how impulsive and reckless he had been back then.

Fortunately, the outcome was great; otherwise, his injuries would have been suffered in vain.

”Who are you planning to attack? Shahu Soul Valley?” Li Zhirui asked with certainty.

”It!”

It was the perfect target; heavily crippled by the Li family before, and recently had two waves of cultivators reassigned, its strength must have dwindled significantly.

What remained, the Li family had no reason to fear.

”Since everyone is ready, there’s no better time than now; let’s set out tomorrow! How about it?”

Li Zhirui’s proposal was supported by everyone, as they wished not to delay any longer; the sooner Shahu Soul Valley was dealt with, the better.

Silent night passed.

The next day, at the break of dawn, the members of the Li family emerged from the mountain belly and set off for Shahu Soul Valley aboard a cloud boat.

The journey was calm, not encountering a single well-trained local creature, naturally avoiding any risk of exposure.

Several hours later, the cloud boat halted less than three miles from Shahu Soul Valley’s Mountain Gate!

As they approached, they unleashed the prepared attacks upon the formations.

Boom!

The Mountain Protection Array, originally in a normal state, was activated by the attack, but without anyone controlling it, its power waned, swaying under the thousand divine powers.

Clang clang clang—

Meanwhile, a rapid, deep bell rang throughout Spirit Mountain.

”Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”

Warning shouts echoed in the sky, persisting endlessly.

The demon cultivators remaining at the Mountain Gate paused for a moment before rushing out, eager to see which clueless group dared come knocking.

Currently, only three Earth Immortals remained at the Mountain Gate, their expressions grim because they had never anticipated the sect would be under attack!

It was then that the sect leader realized his past whim was not about another battlefield, but a forewarning of danger.

”Damn it! Which cultivators dare act at such a time? They’re courting death!” an elder shouted angrily.

Like the Primal Spirit Realm, to ensure no fears on the front lines, the Heavenly Dao of this realm had similarly set multiple punishments to deter opportunistic intruders.

But Li Zhirui and his group were not creatures of the Golden Light Realm; that damn Heavenly Dao couldn’t affect them.

When they realized no divine retribution was coming, they finally understood the attackers were invaders!

Someone even recognized Li Zhirui, Li Chengsheng, and others, realizing it was the Earth Immortals who had heavily cost them last time and shouted loudly.

”You have the guts to linger nearby!”

The sect leader weakly threatened: ”Today you’re lucky, the sect lacks servants, capturing you will serve well.”

”Ha!”

Li Zhirui saw through his facade with a glance, sneered coldly, and said, ”Your words sound good, yet you don’t dare truly fight.”

He didn’t bother saying anything else, instead leading the family members to keep attacking the formation. Once it shattered, where could these demon cultivators escape?

Wave after wave of divine powers struck, some neutralized by mountain-dwelling demon cultivators, but many still hit the formation, causing slight disturbances.

Observing closely, one could find the Spirit Light of the Mountain Protection Array dimmed somewhat!

The sect leader and the two elders eventually flew out, engaging Li Zhixuan, Li Chengsheng, and Li Chengshuo in battle.

The elders fared slightly better, for they frequently went out for tasks and often faced unexpected situations, providing them with fairly rich combat experience.

But the sect leader hadn’t fought in years; who knew how much strength he had lost?

Especially since his opponent was the powerful fighter Li Zhixuan, he got pressed from the start, soon suffering numerous injuries, with disheveled hair and torn clothes, looking quite battered.

”Damn it!” the sect leader cursed, feeling extremely frustrated and helpless; had he known this day would come, he would never have let himself go.

But there’s no medicine for regret in the world; the current scenario meant he could only try to protect himself amid killing aura-laden sword skills, helpless to do anything else.

Moreover, the situation grew increasingly dire; at this rate, he’d soon fall as a victim to Li Zhixuan’s blade.

In reality, she found the fight tiresome, initially thinking her opponent could put up a decent fight, allowing a real battle. But it turned out this way.

Naturally, it left her in a bad mood, wishing to end the meaningless fight quickly.

Thus, the sect leader suffered even more.

Meanwhile, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo dominated their battlegrounds; even if victory couldn’t be seen shortly, the final outcome would not change.

Many demon disciple cultivators in the Mountain Gate saw the conditions of the three battlefields, their expressions filled with sorrow and despair; they could already foresee the inevitable ending and their fate!

...

To quickly break through the high-grade Mountain Protection Array, Li Zhirui summoned Yuhong, asking him to protect Jiang Fengwu, providing her with a safe space to research breaking the formation.

Meanwhile, he offered necessary assistance.

Due to Yuhong’s unique situation, he was quite familiar with the Three Thousand Great Paths, a skill to help Jiang Fengwu swiftly distinguish array patterns.

Li Zhirui continued leading the family members in their assault on the Mountain Protection Array; after all, no one knew when Jiang Fengwu could break through, so they naturally had to prepare two contingencies.

Actually, besides those three Earth Immortal battlegrounds, this battle wasn’t too intense.

With Shahu Soul Valley protected by the Mountain Protection Array, and Li family safeguarded by formations with Li Zhirui, an Earth Immortal present, the casualties on both sides were limited.

However, as time went on, the situation slowly changed, sliding further against Shahu Soul Valley!

There’s no help for it; their three Earth Immortals were somewhat weak, unfit to contend with Li Zhixuan and others, no?

”Ah!”

A sudden scream erupted on the sect leader’s side; his left hand had been severed by Li Zhixuan’s sword!

Excruciating pain swept through him, causing cold sweat to pour down his forehead. This ruler of the sect enjoyed privileges for years and hadn’t been injured in ages, let alone so severely.

His heavy injury quickly sparked a chain reaction!

The Earth Immortal elder battling Li Chengsheng cast a secret technique, leaving an empty shell before everyone’s eyes, without anyone knowing where he fled.

Another elder also sought to escape, but he was too late; under the combined assault of Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, he never had the chance!

”Hahahahahaha...”

The severely injured, defeated sect leader suddenly laughed madly, his eyes brimming with tears, shouting loudly: ”Couldn’t believe my Shahu Soul Valley, inherited for over a thousand years, would fall to my hands!”

His tone was full of unwillingness, yet no matter his reluctance, the situation was irretrievable.

Ultimately, he and the other elder were slain, separated by no more than an hour.

Of the three Earth Immortals of Shahu Soul Valley, two died, one escaped; those disciples at the Mountain Gate fell hopelessly into despair.
