Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1871: Chapter 1404: Awaiting Repairs_2

When the other Elders heard this, they immediately set aside everything else. Except for a life-and-death crisis, nothing was as important as cultivation!

...

On the other side.

After leaving the headquarters of the Farmer School, Li Zhirui left Sishi City without delay.

He always assumed the worst in others, and during his dealings with the Farmer School, he had unconsciously revealed much of his wealth.

Those Elders of the Farmer School appeared honest and sincere, but who knew their true nature?

So, just in case, he distanced himself as much as possible, getting far away from Sishi City and Jiangzhou.

Li Zhirui moved with incredible speed; in the blink of an eye, he had traversed from one end of the road to the other.

In less than half a moment, he had exited the city.

With no buildings to hinder him, his speed increased, as if he had transformed into a rainbow of light, able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant.

What Li Zhirui didn’t know was that just moments after he left Sishi City, a group of people set off in pursuit.

”He’s gone? How could he vanish so quickly?! How are you following him?” the burly leader shouted angrily.

The leader’s palm, as large as a fan, slammed heavily on the back of the person assigned to follow Li Zhirui, causing his Qi-Blood to churn and a flush of unnatural red to appear on his face with just a few hits.

”Boss, that man was too fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight, and he must have noticed me. He used the buildings to hide while in the city,” the man quickly explained.

”Humph!” The burly man snorted discontentedly but said no more.

Because he wasn’t a liar, and the strength that man had shown meant that even if they caught up to him, they might not be able to handle him.

They wanted to track Li Zhirui because someone from the Farmer School had tipped them off.

Although the Elders hadn’t seen Li Zhirui out the door, there were many witnesses to them getting up to see him off inside.

Among them, someone had hatched a plan, thinking that solving Li Zhirui would surely reap great rewards, and so they contacted this group of men.

These people, unaware of their limits, didn’t realize that by not catching up, they had avoided a disaster, and now they felt a slight sense of regret.

...

Speaking of which!

Li Zhirui sped away, quickly leaving the borders of Jiangzhou.

This trip to Jiangzhou left some regrets, mostly revolving around the Farmer School, as he hadn’t had the chance to visit the Medical Family or witness their methods.

South of Jiangzhou is Guan Province.

The so-called Guan Province is actually the State Domain where the capital is located. With steep mountains on all sides, it is easy to defend and hard to attack, having four major passes established as the defensive line protecting the capital, hence the name Guan Province.

”Nature truly is a master craftsman, wondrous beyond words!” Li Zhirui exclaimed in praise as he gazed at the northern mountains of Guan Province.

The mountains were massive and steep, difficult for an average person to climb, yet they didn’t completely block the road. Instead, a flat and wide Great Tao was in front of the mountains, allowing travelers to pass easily.

On the other side of the Great Tao was a relatively wide river, its gentle waters covered with endless boats exchanging passages along its surface, as if stretching into infinity.

Looking into the distance, another majestic mountain could be seen, with both mountains sandwiching the river and the Great Tao in between.

”Young fellow, is this your first time in Guan Province?”

An old woodsman nearby, hearing Li Zhirui’s admiration, remarked with a smile, ”Not just this place, but all other three directions are the same.”

”Old man, are you kidding me? Finding such a unique terrain in one place is rare enough; how could there be four?”

”Hahahahahaha, why would I lie to you, young one? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself with your own eyes.”

The old woodsman laughed heartily, slowly departing with a cart full of firewood.

His words indeed piqued Li Zhirui’s curiosity. Initially planning to visit the capital, he changed his mind.

With a new plan decided, he altered his direction, heading not south but turning first to the east.

Soon, Li Zhirui arrived at the eastern border of Guan Province.

Just as the old woodsman had said, if not for the differing shape and direction of the mountains, he might have thought he had wandered into the wrong territory.

However, upon careful observation, one could notice some differences: this place lacked the natural seamlessness of the north and instead bore signs of human intervention.

After some inquiry, he learned that the eastern, western, and southern directions were actually carved and excavated by the Daqian Empire, imitating the north!

The intention was to facilitate connection with other State Domains and, in times of invasion, transform this into a defensible line to secure the capital.

’Alas! Who knows how many lives of the common people are buried beneath such a wonder?’ Li Zhirui sighed inwardly, suddenly finding the marvel devoid of interest.

Even though this was a mythical world, such a massive project would necessarily involve many ordinary people to accomplish it swiftly.
