Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2304 - 1621: Absurd

”Because of this group of cultivators, there were massive casualties among the members, so naturally, we must kill them all to avenge the hatred of our people!” said an Elder, his face filled with hatred, his eyes blood-red.

”Exactly! If it weren’t for them instigating the war, there wouldn’t have been so many members dying.”

”Kill them!”

...

Many members spoke up, their eyes flashing with hatred, because in the recent war, many of their close relatives had died at the hands of the enemy.

The Clan Leader, who had been silent, frowned slightly, as he did not intend to take such actions. The reason was simple: the Li family could not bear such immense karmic force.

Moreover, if these tens of thousands of cultivators were truly slaughtered, the Li family and factions like the Cave Abyss Sect and Baiyun Sect would truly become mortal enemies!

Although relations had already dropped to freezing point after the battle, there still remained a chance for some reconciliation.

But if the Li family killed all these cultivators, the other side would surely organize a cultivator army to attack the Li family, whether to appease their disciples’ emotions or to maintain their own dignity!

This would be no good for the Li family, which had just experienced a war.

However, upon seeing the Elders and the members with such intense, angry emotions...

The Clan Leader knew that if he suggested letting these cultivators go, it would be like adding fuel to the fire, inflaming rather than appeasing their reactions.

And as the members noticed his silence, they all turned to look at him.

Those eyes were filled with anger, determination, and a certain eerie tranquility that was terrifying!

”Kill the enemies with blood on their hands from our members! As for the other cultivators, their factions must pay an appropriate price to ransom them!”

The Clan Leader pondered for a moment and ultimately chose a compromise.

It could appease the members without making the family and those Heavenly Immortal factions become sworn enemies.

Yet, even so, some members were not entirely satisfied with this plan.

Fortunately, among the Elders, there were still many who understood the situation; they knew this was the best solution.

”I think the Clan Leader’s proposal is very good; it avenges the deceased members without tainting the family with excessive karma and karmic force.”

They refrained from mentioning the chance for reconciliation with factions like the Cave Abyss Sect, because saying such things wouldn’t earn the angry members’ approval, but ignite an even greater wrath!

With the support of many Elders and their earnest explanations, the members gradually calmed down.

But witnessing this scene, Jiang Fengwu frowned slightly; it seemed the Clan Leader’s prestige and influence had diminished considerably.

She wondered whether this had become the norm for the Li family, or if it was because this unfamiliar Clan Leader was too mild and not forceful enough, giving the Elders an opportunity to strengthen their power?

Nonetheless, she had no intention of intervening.

After all, Jiang Fengwu’s surname was ’Jiang’, not ’Li’!

Before Li Zhirui was in the family, there was a bond between her and the Li family, but now that bond was gone.

Thus, to the Li family, she was more like a Guest Elder with close ties, rather than a member bound by blood.

So, for this family matter, Jiang Fengwu naturally would not involve herself.

At most, she would inform Qingxuan, Qingpeng, and others to find a way to solve the issue on Li Zhirui’s behalf.

As she pondered, the Clan Leader came to her, bowing respectfully, ”Elder Ancestor Jiang! Currently, Qingxuan and other ancestors are deep in the starry sky, battling Heavenly Immortal cultivators. We request your support.”

”No wonder!”

A flash of understanding crossed Jiang Fengwu’s face; no wonder she hadn’t seen any Heavenly Immortal cultivators in the family; she thought something had happened. It turned out they were on another battlefield.

”Understood.”

Before the words were fully spoken, she transformed into a streak of Spirit Light and disappeared.

”With Elder Ancestor Jiang taking action, the battle will quickly end!” a certain Elder spoke confidently.

Not only him, but other members had a strong confidence in Jiang Fengwu’s strength!

This confidence stemmed from the Great Array she had just deployed.

A technique that could trap tens of thousands of cultivators was not something an ordinary cultivator could accomplish.

Moreover, apart from Qingxuan fighting two opponents alone, the other Heavenly Immortals had just one opponent.

With Jiang Fengwu’s involvement, the battlefield would change instantly!

The outcome could be decided very soon.

True enough!

In less than two hours, Qingxuan, Li Yunran, and other Heavenly Immortals all returned to Mount Wanxian.

During this period, after an intense discussion, the Clan Leader and the other Elders decided the amount of ransom these captured cultivators’ factions should pay to redeem them based on their differing realms and cultivation.

At the same time, they determined, through secret techniques and questioning companions, which cultivators’ hands were stained with the Li family’s blood.

But the number of such cultivators was actually quite low!

Although the Li family’s casualties seemed considerable, with three to four thousand people, it wasn’t actually a significant number.

After all, this was a massive war involving tens of thousands of cultivators!
