Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1695: Chapter 1316: Going Home (Part 2)

“Alright, you can go find your opponents now,” Li Zhirui said to the clan members behind him.

“Yes!”

The clan members could hardly contain themselves, and now that the obstructing formation was gone, they could finally have a satisfying fight!

As for the additional disciples of the Wind and Fire Sect? They were all trapped by Li Zhirui using his divine power, to be dealt with later; after all, they couldn’t escape.

“It’s over! It’s all over!” The sect leader of the Wind and Fire Sect seemed to have lost all strength, collapsing on the ground, muttering in a gray-faced voice.

The Mountain Protection Array had been broken; the two Earth Immortal elders looked hopeless in terms of victory; all the disciples were trapped, awaiting the arrival of death.

There was no longer any possibility for the Wind and Fire Sect to continue existing!

He was filled with regret, wondering why he had the crazy idea of scheming against the Li family in the first place? Given their strength, wiping out the Wind and Fire Sect wouldn’t pose the slightest difficulty.

Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets now!

As one disciple after another was killed, those still alive fell into panic and despair, foreseeing their own deaths.

They thought about resisting, but faced with Li Zhirui’s divine power, their strength was too weak to break through.

Bang!

A crimson and cyan intertwined spirit light was struck down from the sky by immense power, crashing heavily onto the ground.

With tattered clothes and a wretched appearance, Lie Feng finally saw the state of the entire sect, trembling inwardly as he realized the foolishness of his earlier actions!

In his current situation, risking his life might earn a tie with Xiaoqing, but there was absolutely no chance of victory.

Even if he won, so what? There was still the exceptional Li Zhirui, whose strength was far superior. Could he possibly win another round?

Actually, if he chose to escape, Li Zhirui and Xiaoqing really couldn’t do anything to him.

But the current plight of the Wind and Fire Sect was caused by him, coupled with countless years of affection, Lie Feng was unwilling to abandon the sect to preserve his own life.

“This was all forced by the Cave Abyss Sect, not a genuine scheme against your family. I hope, Fellow Daoist, you’ll be merciful and spare the Wind and Fire Sect a path!” Taoist Lie Feng implored with remorse on his face.

Hearing this, Li Zhirui was unsurprised. The Cave Abyss Sect had been causing trouble in secret not just for a day or two; they didn’t want to confront the Li family openly, merely fearing offending Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.

But they didn’t want to see the Li family continue to grow either, thus resorting to these petty tricks.

The Li family, on the other hand, due to insufficient strength, could only pretend ignorance, even knowing it was the Cave Abyss Sect’s machinations behind the scenes.

However, the Li family had long directed a major problem towards the Cave Abyss Sect, and that was the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Moreover, Lie Feng’s words, pushing all the blame onto the Cave Abyss Sect, were clearly intended to portray the Wind and Fire Sect as a weaker entity, attempting to arouse Li Zhirui’s compassion.

Unfortunately, his Dao heart had undergone countless trials and wouldn’t be swayed by such minor disturbances.

“As long as you spare the Wind and Fire Sect, I am willing to become a Taoist soldier for the Li family!” Lie Feng said through gritted teeth, offering a condition of great cost.

A so-called Taoist soldier is, in essence, a special type of puppet. An Earth Immortal cultivator willing to sacrifice his life was indeed exceedingly rare.

This means Lie Feng wanted to use his own life to quench the Li family’s fury.

“You’re quite generous.”

Hearing Li Zhirui say this, Lie Feng felt a slight joy, thinking the other party intended to agree.

“However, I am unwilling to accept. The principle of cutting the grass and digging up the roots, do you not understand, Fellow Daoist? Why would I leave such a dangerous hidden threat for my family, one that could erupt at any moment?”

“Ahhhh! You mock me!” Lie Feng, somewhat frantic, charged towards Li Zhirui.

“Your opponent is me!” Xiaoqing timely intervened, blocking his attack.

Lie Feng’s previous actions thoroughly enraged him, causing Xiaoqing to strike with increased fierceness.

Elsewhere, the battle between Cang and Xuan Feng continued, the two sides equally matched, with no decisive victory in sight.

However, for the disciples of the Wind and Fire Sect, more than half were dead!

“Finish the fight quickly, don’t waste time,” Li Zhirui ordered, and the clan members unleashed greater power, speeding up the elimination of their opponents.

“The Li family! I curse every cultivator of the Li family to die miserably!” a dying disciple of the Wind and Fire Sect cursed with overwhelming resentment.

Li Zhirui remained unmoved, not to mention whether this person knew curse techniques; the Li family was currently bolstered with abundant merit, and any such spell would likely rebound.

About two hours later, all disciples of the Wind and Fire Sect were dead!

Meanwhile, the battlefields of Xiaoqing and Cang also gradually drew to a close.

Lie Feng harbored a death wish, not intending to escape, but hoping to take Xiaoqing with him using his strength.

But his intentions were long seen through, and with Li Zhirui’s assistance, the dignified Earth Immortal Lie Feng ultimately met his death and elimination.

Xuan Feng lacked such resolve, and realizing the dire situation, lost the will to fight, his mind solely occupied with thoughts of escape.

Yet, the more he thought so, the worse his situation became.

Once Li Zhirui intervened, Xuan Feng completely lost any hope of escape, facing inevitable death!

“Xiaoqing, Cang, you stay with the clan members, subjugate the forces and territories once under the Wind and Fire Sect.”

“Alright.”

As for himself, he returned to Mount Wanxian, directing Li Xiuyuan to send clansmen to take over the entire Wind and Fire State.

The family’s original territory was already substantial; now, with an addition of over a thousand miles, along with the spoils from the Wind and Fire Sect, the Li family gained quite a lot.

The news of the Wind and Fire Sect’s annihilation wasn’t kept secret by the Li family, spreading swiftly throughout the surrounding area.

Inside the main hall of the Three Wind Sect.

A group of elders sat there anxiously, having just discussed the probability of success if the Li family decided to target them.

The outcome was unsurprising; the Li family needn’t exert full effort to destroy the Three Wind Sect!

“Alas! If we’d known, we shouldn’t have agreed to the Cave Abyss Sect’s demands back then, avoiding these fearful, trembling days,” sighed a certain elder.

“I think the Li family doesn’t intend on further action; there’s no need for excessive worry.”

Despite the words, vigilance wasn’t lifted.

Not only the Three Wind Sect but the Hundred Lotus Sect felt similarly, fearing a sudden strike from the Li family.

Fortunately, as days passed, the Li family showed no intention of further action.

——

After a battle concluded, peace returned to Shanhai State, with none daring to challenge the Li family’s prestige.

But one day, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo unexpectedly returned to Mount Wanxian.

“Sheng, Shuo? Why have you returned suddenly?” Li Zhirui was somewhat surprised upon receiving the news, looking at the two.

After years of dedicated cultivation, the two were now Perfect Earth Immortals, perhaps not far from becoming Heavenly Immortals!

“Shuo and I plan to go into seclusion to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and not knowing how many years it may take, we wanted to come home to see you and mom while we still had time.”

Hearing their words, Li Zhirui, instead of feeling joyous about their upcoming breakthrough, worriedly said, “Isn’t it a bit hasty?”

“Indeed, though favored by the Heavenly Dao, rushing realm and cultivation enhancement risks unstable foundations!” Jiang Fengwu chimed in.

Li Chengshuo laughed and said, “Rest assured, father and mother, my brother and I won’t act rashly; we’re fully prepared before attempting the breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

“Since you know the importance and urgency, I shall say no more. I wish you a perfect success!”

“With father and mother’s blessings, this breakthrough will surely face no issues.”

After the formal matters were discussed, the family started inquiring about each other’s experiences in the Golden Light Realm.
