Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1721: Chapter 1329: Call for Reinforcements (Part 2)

After he took an oath and handed over the Storage Magical Treasure, Li Zhirui still didn’t withdraw his Divine Power; he simply stopped attacking and said, “You must now order the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance to retreat; only then will I let you leave.”

This was the most crucial matter; Spiritual Objects and Dao Oaths were merely extras.

“Everyone, listen to my order: retreat immediately, leave this place! I have already discussed this with the Li family’s leader.”

The cultivators of the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance had long lost the will to fight on, as they were overwhelmed and were no longer a match for their opponents. It was inevitable that they would perish soon.

So upon hearing this order, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhirui confirmed the news by saying, “Let them leave.”

If possible, he did not wish to offend the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance; after all, this faction had developed too quickly, its strength advancing by leaps and bounds, with dozens of Heavenly Immortals posing a massive threat to the Li family!

This was why he left a sliver of hope, not forcing them into extermination.

Gu Ming walked away with heavy steps, supported by two others to prevent him from falling.

As he was about to leave the battlefield, he couldn’t help but turn around for a glance, wanting to imprint the place of his humiliation firmly in his mind!

Whoa whoa whoa!

The Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance members hadn’t gone far when they heard jubilant cheers coming from behind, making their retreat seem even more disgraceful.

“I’m sorry, everyone. I’ve brought shame to you,” Gu Ming said, his face filled with guilt.

“It’s not your fault; it’s our inadequate strength, nothing else to blame.”

“That’s right, it’s not related to you. Who could have thought the Devil Race would be so ineffective, defeated in just a few days, allowing the Li family to send secret reinforcements?”

“Exactly! If not for the Devil Race, we wouldn’t have ended up in this miserable state!”

Others spoke up, comforting Gu Ming.

But they weren’t entirely wrong; if it weren’t for the Devil Race’s quick and thorough defeat, without even sending a single message to update the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance about the Li family’s situation.

The Li family’s avoidance strategy from a few days ago would not have deceived them, leading to them being caught off guard and losing the initiative.

Speaking of which, even though the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance, Devil Race, and Sea Clan had allied against the East Continent Immortal Tao, internal conflicts were pronounced,

making it nearly impossible for them to unite wholeheartedly!

“To survive, I was forced to take a Dao Oath, promising never to act against the Li family again. So when my injuries heal, I’ll head to another battlefield and leave this place to you.” Gu Ming said, deeply moved.

“Don’t worry! We’ll definitely capture that Immortal City, cause huge losses to the Li family, and avenge you!”

Gu Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. Given the Li family’s exhibited strength, unless five more Earth Immortals were added, along with tens of thousands of low-level creatures, it would be difficult to break through the Immortal City blocking the central canyon.

But considering the current situation, the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance lacked any more strength.

“You must not act impulsively; prioritize your own safety and life. The Li family isn’t easy to confront.”

Many low-level cultivators didn’t heed these words, but fortunately, a few Earth Immortals retained clarity and weren’t blinded by hatred.

After all, the stronger one’s power, the more one perceives.

…

This battle was considered over for the Li family, and even if the Ten Thousand Spirits Alliance wasn’t satisfied, with their defeated and fractured forces, they couldn’t stir much trouble.

But across the entire East Continent, the war was still raging fiercely!

Cave Abyss Sect faced attacks from the Sea Clan and Devil Race; Xiaxian Sect and Yumen He Family battled endless, unkillable Water Devils…

Throughout the East Continent, only the central blessed lands and forces near the Immortal Demon Battlefield were temporarily spared.

This was because there were no Devil Beasts and the areas were distant from the sea and Northern Domain, whereas the former controlled Devil Beasts early due to strength, and the latter isn’t suited for Devil Race survival due to the battlefield’s Evil Qi.

Facing the three major factions’ onslaught, even the Spirit Realm’s strongest Immortal Tao was troubled.

Most battlefields had fallen behind, unable to shift the situation since the Immortal Tao couldn’t muster more strength!

To tackle this sudden disaster, the Immortal Tao even risked pulling most cultivators stationed at the Immortal Demon Battlefield to support nearby battlefields.

Thus, a group of Heavenly Immortals held a meeting, discussing how to turn the tide.

“Now, the best and only solution is to seek aid from the Human Dao emperors!”

Currently, the East Continent houses three major empires: Daqian, Great Zhou, and Great Xia, along with more than a dozen kingdoms like White Mountain and Hu Country.

Thus, Human Dao within the East Continent had become an unavoidable massive force.

Despite prior conflicts and considerable tensions, sometimes one must show softness.

Why choose the Human Dao instead of Demonic Tao?

Naturally, because Demonic Tao’s power is concentrated in the West Continent, seeking their aid would involve them traversing East Continent, potentially leaving numerous complications.

“Then let’s reach out to those Human Dao forces for negotiations.” Said a Heavenly Immortal since no objections arose.

They wouldn’t personally handle such matters; anyway, they couldn’t spare time to leave long. Hence, after setting terms, they delegated a few Earth Immortals for contact and negotiation.

Among them, an Earth Immortal named Xia Weiming arrived at the Great Zhou empire.

As he came to request aid, his demeanor was humble, declaring his identity outside the imperial city, requesting the officials to relay his urgent matter.

Undoubtedly, a generous fee accompanied this request.

Shortly, an official emerged with an indifferent attitude, saying, “Please follow me, sir.”

“Much appreciated.” Xia Weiming replied, falling silent as he entered the lavish, splendid palace.

Originally, entering the Great Zhou empire had significantly suppressed his cultivation, but upon entering the palace, he found the suppression particularly gentle before!

Titled an Earth Immortal, within the palace, he could only exert almost Mortal Realm power, suppressed several realms down.

Despite forced suppression, he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of shock but soon converted it into a smile.

For, the stronger the Great Zhou empire, the greater the chances of helping end this war.

“About to meet the emperor, you must not disrespect!” The official suddenly halted, whispering a reminder.

“Disciple Xia Weiming from White Jade City of Mount Kunlun, pays respects to the Great Zhou emperor!”

Upon taking the final step and entering the Central Hall, Human Dao’s vigorous luck and imperial Dragon Energy nearly forced him down.

But after taking a few steps, he found relief in bowing, easing the pressure. He genuinely worried about embarrassment falling undone under Immortal Tao’s name in public.

“Rise.”

An authoritative voice resounded, asking, “Immortal Tao sends you as envoy—what’s your purpose?”

Xia Weiming quickly responded, “The enemy’s strength is overwhelming, and Immortal Tao alone is no match; hence I request Your Majesty’s support, for which Immortal Tao would be exceedingly grateful.”

“I can agree to your request, but what price is Immortal Tao ready to pay?”

The Great Zhou emperor knew East Continent’s plight; Immortal Tao barely held advantageous battlefields, and at this rate, defeat was imminent.

Then, it’d be the Human Dao empires’ turn to face those Alien Race Creatures.

In a collapsing nest, where would unbroken eggs remain?

So to prevent this, the Great Zhou emperor would surely agree, but the extent of support would rely on Immortal Tao’s sincerity.
