Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1718: Chapter 1328: Overdrawn

The four Earth Immortals from the Devil Race decided to escape early to save their lives, which inadvertently saved them from calamity. However, the low-level Demon Beasts were not so lucky!

They heard about the bet between Li Zhirui and Chang Shi, but were unaware of the outcome. At this moment, they were still attacking with full force, hoping to breach the Immortal City and contribute to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

But when the Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Fire descended, they realized something was wrong, yet the terrifying punishment had already begun!

Rumble——

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, the sky turned gloomy, and Heavenly Thunder rolled relentlessly, striking the heads of the Devil Beasts; Heavenly Fire blazed fiercely, burning inside the beasts out of nowhere.

The weaker Devil Beasts had no power to resist and turned to ashes in a blink, while only those who had broken through to the Immortal Realm had a slight chance to escape after realizing what was happening.

And the battlefield was less than a hundred miles from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. On regular days, this distance would be covered in an instant, but now, under the attack of Heavenly Thunder and Heavenly Fire, it became an endless journey!

“Ahhhh!”

In just a moment, the ground was covered with ashes, and the vast majority of the Devil Beasts could only let out a miserable scream before dying painfully amidst their struggles and howls.

Tens of thousands of Devil Beasts perished within an hour!

“This is…”

The people of the Li family trembled, feeling both fear and excitement upon witnessing the scene.

Li Yunran immediately reacted, joyfully shouting, “This is the response of the Dao Oath; Ancestor Rui has won the bet!”

Oh oh oh!

The Immortal City erupted in cheers. They didn’t expect the battle to conclude so swiftly, making it the fastest conclusion in the history of their battles.

The most important thing was that the family’s casualties were minimal!

Not long after, Li Zhirui returned to the Immortal City with Xiaoqing and Cang.

“Greetings to Ancestor Rui, Qingpeng, and the Green Cang Spirit Ancestor. The three of you have accomplished a magnificent victory for the family.” Li Yunran led the clan members in paying their respects.

“This was our duty.”

Li Zhirui waved it off, saying, “After this battle, Shanhai State won’t be troubled by the Devil Race from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain for a hundred years. The family only needs to guard against the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance in the north.”

With the Dao Oath in place, even a Great Ability cannot defy it, let alone other Devil Beasts?

In fact, when the Dao Oath was activated, many Devil Beasts from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain sensed an additional constraint on themselves and learned its content through touching it with Divine Sense.

Bang!

“Damn it!”

“Bastards! Who allowed them to make a Dao Oath on behalf of the entire race!”

In the Cave Mansions of many high-level Devil Beasts, the sound of things breaking and various curses erupted, but with Chang Shi already fallen and even his body lost, they had no target to vent their anger upon.

Additionally, since the Dao Oath was established and the tens of thousands of Devil Beasts sent to Shanhai State were all dead, with only four returning, there was nothing left to punish.

They could only grit their teeth and let it go.

“A hundred years! I’ll remember this, and there will be a heavy recompense in the future!” a Heavenly Immortal from the Devil Race said in a cold tone, emanating terrifying killing intent.

…

Meanwhile, the victorious Li family began an orderly retreat, returning to Mount Wanxian to heal, or heading to support the northern Xia Dao battlefield.

In the west of Shanhai State, where it borders the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there was no longer a need for so many clan members to guard. Only a few needed to be placed to keep a slight watch.

The Cloud Boat soared into the sky, racing high above, quickly returning to Mount Wanxian. They left the injured clan members to heal and then Li Zhirui took the remaining clan members to continue by ship.

When they arrived at Xia Dao Immortal City, they discovered that the situation here also favored the family. Although it wasn’t very obvious, it was enough that the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance couldn’t seize the place.

“Zhirui? Is the battle on your side already over?” Jiang Fengwu’s first reaction upon seeing Li Zhirui and others was one of surprise.

If she wasn’t mistaken, the battlefield on the western side should have had even stronger Devil Race forces, yet their side hadn’t been resolved, and reinforcements had already arrived?

“Yes, it ended quickly…” Li Zhirui briefly explained why they could come to aid so swiftly.

“A bet?”

Jiang Fengwu’s eyes lit up, but she quickly shook her head in negation, thinking that such an approach wasn’t suitable for her.

As for having Li Zhirui step forward? Wouldn’t that directly alert the opponents that another battlefield had concluded, and reinforcements had arrived? Would the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, not being fools, agree to that?

Therefore, for their battlefield to resolve the conflict, it would still rely on their own hard power to repel the alliance’s cultivators.

Fortunately, with the addition of Li Zhirui, Xiaoqing, and others, ending the battle was no longer as challenging as before.

“Let everyone rest for a few days. Once their strength is restored, we will launch the final assault to end the fight promptly!” Li Zhirui laid out his plan.

Jiang Fengwu nodded, responding, “No problem, that’s how it should be. There’s no need to waste time on such matters.”

In her view, it was more worthwhile to spend time and effort on understanding Formations and Laws to advance one’s Realm.

After the decision, the Li family hung up the no-fight sign. Even with the ongoing provocations from the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, they avoided engagement, focusing solely on defense.

“Is the Li family plotting something? They’ve started avoiding battles!”

The Li family’s unusual actions aroused the curiosity of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance. Several Earth Immortals gathered to discuss it, leading to various speculations.

Some believed the Li family suffered significant losses on another battlefield, teetering on the edge, hence deliberately redeploying cultivators from there for support; others suspected the Li family was setting some kind of trap to entangle them.
