Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1784: Chapter 1361: Tragic (To Be Revised)

The response from the Demonic Tao was so intense mainly because not long ago, they suffered a huge loss in their conflict with the Devil Race, resulting in severe casualties, making them extremely sensitive and feeling that everyone was here to seize their territory.

If it had been before, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. Even if the territory was taken, because of the pollution by Demonic Qi, it would require a significant cost to resolve.

But with the arrival of Li Zhirui and the widespread use of the Lotus Seed Skill, the purification of land polluted by Demonic Qi costs much less, and gaining an extra piece of land seems insignificant.

The Demon Cultivator also dared not disregard the land as before.

Therefore, upon understanding the actions of the Divine Path, seeing through their subsequent intentions, the Demonic Tao intended to settle the matter once and for all, giving the Divine no chance to intervene, hence the extreme brutality and cruelty in their actions!

However, this completely enraged the Divine Path!

The Divine weren’t unable to accept casualties during this process, nor did they think about retaliating against the other party, but the actions of the Demonic Tao were excessively outrageous.

If they show no response in this situation, does the Divine Path have any dignity in the eyes of other factions?

Moreover, within the Divine Path, although the suggestion wasn’t proposed openly by Ziwei, the Divine knew whose idea it was, so if this situation isn’t handled properly, it will greatly impact his prestige!

Due to certain issues, Ziwei could no longer comfortably hold the Heavenly Emperor’s position as before, and now, the voices that were barely silenced are probably waiting for him to make a mistake secretly, to stir up an even bigger wave!

Therefore, regardless of the considerations, Ziwei now has to declare war against the Demonic Tao, not only to win this war but to achieve a great and glorious victory!

Only by doing this can he regain his prestige and avoid further internal disturbances in the Divine Path.

For this purpose, Ziwei personally visited the Sun and Moon Divine Domain.

”Greetings to the Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo led a group of subordinate gods to pay their respects and said, ”We were unaware of Your Majesty’s presence. Please pardon our inadequate welcome!”

”The two Star Lords need not stand on ceremony.”

Given that Ziwei came here with a request, even under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t put on airs with them, much less now? Thus, he enthusiastically stepped forward, stopping their acts of greeting, and helped them rise.

The siblings exchanged a glance, guessing the purpose of this unexpected visit.

Though they haven’t ventured outside, they aren’t completely ignorant of external events, not only through messages brought by the subordinate gods but also through Li Chengsheng’s divinations.

”Is Your Majesty here regarding the Demonic Tao’s reckless killing of the Divine?” So they didn’t beat around the bush with Ziwei and directly asked.

”Yes, the two Star Lords know the Divine Path internally has been turbulent and unstable, if this matter isn’t handled properly, it’ll surely stir up trouble, so this time I wish to request your assistance.”

Ziwei did not fear losing face and straightforwardly revealed his troubles.

In fact, his motives weren’t pure; the real reason for seeking out Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo was to prove to others that these two Star Lords would still act under his command.

The siblings also saw through his intent but did not expose it, as saying it out loud would leave everyone with a sour expression.

”Your Majesty knows Shuo and I wholeheartedly cultivate and avoid stains of karma, hoping someday to transcend this realm and pursue higher realms, so such matters are typically avoided when possible.”

Li Chengsheng paused, then continued, ”But since Your Majesty personally came, considering old ties, it wouldn’t be proper to refuse.”

The meaning in his words was clear: Do you want them to act this time? Fine!

But the previous karma owed shall be written off, no more debts to him.

Upon hearing these words, Ziwei’s heart was filled with complex emotions; it was difficult to process that the person once so respectful to him could now treat him with equality, even with an indifferent attitude!

Yet, he has a request now, so he couldn’t help but ’bow and scrape’, and he promptly agreed to Li Chengsheng’s conditions.

”Alright! We depart at 7:00 in three days, make sure not to forget the time, you two Star Lords!”

”See you then.”

Ziwei nodded and mentioned he had other matters to attend to, then hurriedly set off to leave.

”We apologize for the inadequate hospitality, Your Majesty’s forgiveness is requested.”

Li Chengsheng spoke and, together with Li Chengshuo, escorted him out of the Sun and Moon Divine Domain.

”We’ll stop here; you two should return quickly.”

Before them, Ziwei maintained a faint smile, but once out of their sight, his expression changed instantly, the smile disappeared completely, replaced by cold indifference.

To seek help from juniors while lowly keeping his voice down, though outwardly unaffected, inside he felt deeply aggrieved.

”Who’d have thought he could lower himself to such a degree. No wonder he reached that position; if I were him, I definitely wouldn’t be capable of that.” After returning, Li Chengshuo, who hadn’t spoken before, commented with a tinge of admiration.

Li Chengsheng, however, felt it was a pity, lamenting, ”Such top-notch aptitude wasted, not pursuing the cultivation of The Great Tao for early transcendence, instead indulging in the scheming path of power struggles, truly unexpected; I wonder if he’ll regret it in the future.”

”Let him be! What does that have to do with us?”
