Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1709: Chapter 1323: Battle

The reason he did this was mainly because he didn’t want to attract strong enemies to the family!

After all, the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance has dozens of Heavenly Immortals, and that number could increase.

Meanwhile, the Li family doesn’t have a single Great Ability, and for a long time to come, they won’t have a Heavenly Immortal, so if possible, he didn’t want to become enemies with the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance.

Otherwise, the other side could easily crush the Li family with just a flick of a finger!

Of course, the conflict between the family and them just broke out not long ago, neither side has suffered significant casualties, and there’s still a chance for reconciliation.

Most importantly, currently this group of beings is no match for them!

Hearing Li Zhirui’s words, Mu Yang couldn’t help but be stunned. Not just him, but all the beings present from the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance stood there in a daze.

They never expected that, in such a advantageous position, the Li family would not choose to press the attack, but instead allow them to leave?

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

If he could, Mu Yang certainly would not be willing to retreat just like that, but knowing full well that he was outmatched, staying forcefully would be courting death; he could only preserve his useful forces and wait for another opportunity.

”Fine! We’ll leave now!” Feeling the hopeful and expectant eyes on him, Mu Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and finally led his followers away.

Watching their figures grow more distant, Li Zhirui also breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the best solution at present!

As for how to resolve the situation in the future, it would have to wait until then—the family is already likely to have survived this tribulation.

”Jiu, will they come back?”

Li Zhirui replied very confidently, ”They will!”

The unwillingness in the eyes of the Earth Immortal leader was clear as day to him. They are retreating now because of insufficient strength, but once he gathers more beings and more Earth Immortals, he will surely return.

Thus, he did not let his guard down and instead stayed within the Immortal City to prepare for future battles.

On the other side.

Leading his group swiftly away from the gorge, Mu Yang turned to look back, his eyes filled with unwillingness, frustration, and anger. In a voice only he could hear, he murmured to himself, ”It won’t be long before I return!”

”What’s wrong? Still thinking about that terrifyingly powerful cultivator?”

Someone muttered to themselves, ”Speaking of which, that person’s power is truly formidable. I even feel like he’s not just an Earth Immortal.”

”He must be a Perfect Earth Immortal.”

In fact, Li Zhirui had just broken through to late-stage Earth Immortal, and the reason others were mistaken was because he had activated the power of the Five Elements Small Realm, which made his strength seem rather mysterious.

Mu Yang didn’t participate in their discussion; he was focused on capturing him, and if that wasn’t possible, he would have to kill him!

...

A few days earlier.

Most of the year, the Northern Domain is shrouded in cold winds and snow, not a suitable place to live, but they had no choice. Having sinned against Heaven, they could only hide here to survive.

When they rose again, the Primal Spirit Realm had long been carved up, and to claim more and better territories, they could only take them from other factions.

Yet on this particular day, the winds of the Northern Domain seemed to carry a sharper edge, as if heralding something.

”Is everyone ready?”

That morning, one by one, the Heavenly Immortals arrived, ready to contribute to the bright future of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance! Or rather, they were the main forces.

”We’re ready!” countless voices rang out, resounding in unison, morale high, spirits soaring!

”Depart!”

With the Great Ability’s command, the millions of beings behind, with varying levels of cultivation, gathered like an army of ants, slowly moving together.

As they advanced, the crowd gradually split into three large and two small groups, heading toward five different passages.

Within the hastily constructed North Town Immortal City, numerous cultivators patrolled the walls, their gazes mostly fixed outside the city.

Rumble——

A sudden rumbling sound echoed, causing the patrolling cultivators to halt, their gaze set sternly to the north.

Then they witnessed a magnificent sight.

At the extreme edge of their vision, a group of beings, covered in wind and snow, moved slowly. Wherever they passed, the snowstorm flared up, appearing like a giant beast.

Once the ’beast’ approached, they realized it was composed of countless beings!

Clang clang clang——

Immediately, the warning bell on the wall was rung, the frequency very fast and the sound quite loud, conveying a sense of urgency.

The cultivators, who were either strolling, resting, or cultivating in the city, immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed towards the northern wall as fast as possible.

Then they saw this mass, formed from countless beings,

——

Li Zhirui replied very confidently, ”They will!”
