Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2288 - 1613: Revelation

”Taoist Jiang, why are you in such a sorry state?”

As Jiang Bogang returned to the dark underground cavern, he immediately heard someone speak, asking in surprise: ”Could it be that the cultivator at the early stage of Profound Immortal Realm is particularly strong, and even you are not a match for him?”

”Yes.”

Facing this question, he could only respond sullenly, quickly striding inside.

The Profound Immortal was stunned, not expecting such a reply.

As he realized and wanted to inquire further, the other party had already walked far away.

He was quite curious about this battle, knowing that Jiang Bogang’s strength was among the top in their group of Profound Immortals.

And it was said that his opponent was merely at the early stage of Profound Immortal, plus there was already a considerable gap in their realms.

He should have been able to win easily.

Yet the result was unexpectedly surprising!

Instinctively, he wanted to follow, to understand the situation in detail.

”Elder Xuan, Brother Bai, can either of you purge the toxins within me?”

Upon seeing these two, Jiang Bogang respectfully greeted them, then began to explain the characteristics of the toxins inside him: ”The toxins possess the regenerating power of the Five Elements, and can absorb Mana, strengthening the poison through the Detoxification Pill’s medicinal power.”

It was precisely these troublesome traits that drove him to rush back without delay, fearing any attempt might make the toxins stronger, endangering himself.

”Oh? There are toxins capable of threatening a Profound Immortal’s life?”

Bai Ba was somewhat surprised, rising to walk in front of Jiang Bogang, saying: ”Do not resist.”

After speaking, a strand of Divine Sense penetrated his body, probing the special toxins he had mentioned.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes, his expression becoming quite serious.

”This poison is indeed troublesome!”

Bai Ba’s Divine Sense, initially intending to investigate the toxins, was mostly consumed upon contact, without gaining any useful information.

”I am not well-versed in toxins, I must trouble Elder Xuan to take action personally.”

Elder Xuan slowly opened his eyes, gesturing to Jiang Bogang: ”Come over and let me see.”

”Thanks to Elder Xuan.”

Saying this, he extended his right hand.

A streak of black light emitted from fingers shriveled like dry branches, swirling along Jiang Bogang’s meridians, searching for the toxins within him.

During this process, he seemed to endure immense pain, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, complexion pale.

About an hour later, with a thud, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, with faint traces of five-colored Spirit Light visible in it.

In fact, the person did not neutralize the colored poison, using a rather brutal method, forcibly gathering the colored poison with his unique Mana, then expelling it.

This was why Jiang Bogang suffered so much pain.

”Thank you, Elder Xuan!”

Though he endured torment, he sincerely expressed gratitude, as without the other’s help, he might not have been able to dissolve this bizarre toxin.

”Could that person’s strength actually defeat you?” Elder Xuan’s tone carried a hint of curiosity and inquiry, wondering how he ended up so battered.

Jiang Bogang’s expression stiffened, but he knew that the battle must be described in detail for others to deal with Li Zhirui in the future.

So, hesitating a little, he eventually recounted the entire combat process truthfully.

”Furthermore, this person is agile and clever, likely realizing that the state of Cloud Continent isn’t a natural anomaly, but rather us scheming and plotting in the shadows.”

He added another sentence at the end.

”Indeed, the strength of the Tongtian Sect Leader isn’t particularly strong; you were merely unaware of his measures, neglectful, and fell into his trap step by step, leading to this situation.”

Elder Xuan’s words were devoid of criticism, yet spoken in a calm tone, they struck deeper, more hurtful.

”Should we send more Fellow Daoists to join forces and kill him?” Bai Ba suddenly spoke.

In his view, Li Zhirui’s existence was quite a nuisance, especially after hearing from Jiang Bogang that the other had deduced part of the truth, increasing their threat.

”There’s no need to waste too much effort on this person.”

Elder Xuan shook his head, rejecting the suggestion: ”If he is truly clever, upon sensing issues with Cloud Continent, he should leave.”

”So now, we should quickly resolve the remaining issues to prevent any unforeseen complications.”

”Elder Xuan’s considerations are more thorough.”

The other Profound Immortals did not oppose, since compared to dealing with a single Profound Immortal, handling matters related to their Dao path seemed more important.

Jiang Bogang was unwilling, but with no support from the others, even if he wanted revenge, it was inappropriate to voice it, ultimately going along with the others to employ Secret Techniques, hastening the contamination of Cloud Continent.

...

On the other side.

”Triggered so quickly? It seems he acted directly, aiming to destroy the Land of Purification.”

Li Zhirui’s figure halted mid-escape, reflexively glancing back.

But now he was already far away, unable to see the state of the Land of Purification.

Actually, when Li Zhirui left this fallback measure, he didn’t expect it to activate so soon, thinking it would take some time before the Power of Purification he left behind erupted under the stimulus of the newly gathered evil filth.
