Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2241 - 1589: Struggle

Regarding this, the Li family paid no mind, not taking their words seriously at all.

In fact, considering that the Earth Element Lady had gifted a great deal of insight to the family, Li Mingyao even went to the extra effort of persuading them, hoping they could recognize the situation and not resist stubbornly.

However, he was directly chased out, and if he hadn’t moved quickly enough, he would have been beaten.

”Alas! I’ve said what I could, you all must take care of yourselves.”

Li Mingyao sighed helplessly and vanished instantly as an attack was about to hit him.

Given the current strength of the Divine from the Earth God and Yin God factions, if the Heavenly Court truly decided to act, they wouldn’t be able to resist at all!

This was indeed the case when both sides began to clash; the Earth God and Yin God were no match at all, being defeated repeatedly, losing their helmets and armor.

Many Divine from their ranks fell into the hands of the Heavenly Court and became prisoners.

”Damn it!”

A certain Earth God in the Heavenly Immortal Realm said angrily, ”How can the strength of the Heavenly Court be so formidable? We are simply not their opponents!”

His eyes couldn’t suppress a hint of worry and fear, fearful of falling into the hands of the Heavenly Court and suffering various torments or inhumane treatment.

Not only him, but many Divine also began to worry about what situation they would face next.

”Do you think if we surrender to the Heavenly Court now, they would accept us?” A cautious Yin God said, afraid of being considered a traitor.

But the reactions from everyone were the opposite of what he expected; no one reprimanded him, nor did anyone oppose him, and they even started discussing the suggestion he proposed.

”I don’t know.”

”But previously I heard that the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei values face and power, and since we sent back the envoy from the Heavenly Court before, not giving him face, that’s why he directly ordered the action.”

”This...”

All of a sudden, the scene turned silent again.

As everyone was in despair, suddenly several ill-intentions creatures appeared, claiming they could help them resist the Heavenly Court.

”Who are you? What is your purpose?”

The Divine harbored suspicion towards these individuals and didn’t believe in the help they claimed.

”Have you already resigned to being defeated by the Heavenly Court and becoming prisoners?”

Instead of answering directly, one of them asked, ”Do you know how the Heavenly Court treats those prisoners?”

”For those without an Original Divine Position, they directly extract their Divine Position and Divine Position; those with Original Divine Positions also have to give a part of their original source, henceforth controlled by the Heavenly Emperor’s Treasure Seal, with their life and death in one person’s hands!”

”So you have no other choice but to resist with all your might to protect yourselves.”

Some Divine believed these words without doubt, even becoming anxious and restless; some believed half of it; some refused to believe the Heavenly Court would dare to do such things.

”I’ve said what I could, you all should consider it carefully.”

After speaking, those individuals left immediately.

This, in fact, was also their silent strategy of oppression, plunging the Divine into a state of fear, causing them to lose their rationality.

”Do you think those Divine would take the bait?”

”I don’t know, but judging by their reactions just now, only a portion of the Divine truly believed it.”

”It doesn’t matter, as long as the Divine Path is thrown into chaos, unable to care for or recruit low-level cultivators, it’s fine.” The leading cultivator wasn’t really concerned about the result.

Of course, if they could continue the fight for a while longer, it would be even better for them.

...

”Do you think what those people just said is true or false?” Actually, by asking this question, he already had an answer in his heart.

”False!”

Another Earth God sneered, saying with utmost certainty, ”If the Heavenly Court truly dared to do such a treacherous thing, how much karmic force and consequences would they have to bear?! Does that Heavenly Emperor have such courage?”

”In my opinion, instead of arguing endlessly like this, we should directly ask someone truly informed.”

”Who?!”

All the other Divine eyes turned towards him.

”The Li family, Li Mingyao!”

This Earth God, who had initially joined the Heavenly Court flamboyantly, must now hold a high position within it, being more informed about certain matters.

”But we humiliated him so much earlier, would he really tell us the truth?”

”Don’t worry, Li Mingyao is not petty.”

This Earth God, named Chang Chuan, suddenly brought up Li Mingyao because their previous interactions were quite close, and he understood him quite well.

”Then I leave this matter to you.”

”Alright.”

With that said, Chang Chuan immediately hurried towards Mount Wanxian.

A few hours later, he arrived at the mountain gate of Mount Wanxian, intending to honestly announce his presence.

He was not the Earth Element Lady, who could ignore the Mountain Protection Array and directly enter the Li family territory.

”Earth God Chang Chuan has come to visit, please let your family receive me.”

Immediately, two cultivators appeared, carefully assessing him for a moment, saying, ”Please wait a moment, Honorable God, I will inform the Clan Leader right away.”

Upon hearing the news, Li Yuanzhang’s first reaction was one of surprise; not long ago, the Earth God had specifically targeted a group of Earth Gods from the Li family, so why visit suddenly? Furthermore, it was an Earth God in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

”Please invite that Divine to the Guest Welcoming Hall.”

To show respect, after he arrived, he did not enter but waited specifically at the entrance to greet.

Soon, he saw this Earth God who had suddenly come to visit.

”A distinguished guest gracing our door, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar.”

”I am the one intruding on your esteemed family.”

After the exchange of pleasantries, they entered the hall and took their respective seats.

”I wonder what important matter brings you here this time, Honorable God?” Li Yuanzhang asked very directly.

Chang Chuan showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, saying, ”I’m sure your Clan Leader is also aware of the issues between us and the Heavenly Court; I wish to ask Fellow Daoist Li Mingyao to clarify a few questions for me.”

Not long ago, they had tossed him out, yet now they’ve sought him out themselves, on top of that, needing a favor from him.

Li Yuanzhang slightly raised an eyebrow, his mind turning thoughts over quickly, soon understanding this group’s current mindset.

They realized their strength was vastly inferior to the Heavenly Court, and thus wanted to admit defeat and surrender, but felt embarrassed about it, so they specifically came to request Ming Yao Ancestor to act as a bridge for communication between both sides?

This speculation wasn’t entirely correct, but it wasn’t entirely wrong either.

”Once Ming Yao Ancestor returned, he’s been cultivating in the Cave Mansion, I will send someone to knock and inquire, please be patient, senior.”

Li Yuanzhang smiled and ordered someone to serve Earth Immortal Rank spiritual tea.

”There’s no rush.”

Chang Chuan showed a very humble posture, after all, they were seeking a favor, how could they act high and mighty?

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Mingyao entered the hall.

”Fellow Daoist Chang Chuan, why have you come?”

”Alas! I regret not heeding your advice back then!”

Chang Chuan did not hide it at all; it was a shameful matter, and it had to be addressed sooner or later.

”If we had listened to your suggestion from the start, we wouldn’t be in such a situation now!”

”What’s going on? Take your time and explain, Fellow Daoist.”

Truth be told, Li Mingyao wasn’t aware of the current combat situation between the Divine Path sides, but judging from his reaction, it seemed their circumstances were quite dire.

Chang Chuan explained their current situation in detail and finally inquired, ”Fellow Daoist Li, I heard that the Heavenly Court is very unfriendly towards those captives? They might even extract the Divine Positions and Divine Positions from certain captives? Have you heard of this?”

”Where did you hear such rumors?!”

Li Mingyao’s expression immediately turned serious, ”This is complete slander and insult. Though we are all Divine, even if there are differences in positions due to certain incidents, we would never do such disgusting acts that sabotage the foundation of the Divine Path!”

Though he hadn’t been to the Heavenly Court to see the state of those captives, it was definitely not as Chang Chuan described.

To prove what he said, he immediately summoned all Earth Gods under his command.

Since Li Mingyao required everyone to arrive as quickly as possible, it wasn’t long before a few breathless Earth Gods showed up in the hall.

”May I ask the Divine Master, what are your orders?”
