Clan Cultivation: Starting with Building an Island Immortal City

5: Hunting down the remaining rebels, hiding cultivators”Those not concerned, disperse.”

The common people who were watching the excitement in the front row woke up as if from a dream, retreating in fear.

Li Yinglong bent down, picked up the blood-stained overlord spear, its tip pointing diagonally towards the Lin Family’s direction.

”Sons of the Li Family, follow me to kill the enemy!”

The last word ”enemy” exploded, and his figure was already in motion!

Like a hawk preying on a rabbit, he leaped directly off the arena, his nine-foot overlord spear transforming into a black streak that tore through the autumn wind, heading straight for Lin Liang, who was being supported by his clansmen and still spitting blood!

”Protect the Family Head!”

Among the Lin Family’s ranks, there were also brave individuals; several Martial Master guards suppressed their fear, drew their swords, and met him.

”Clang!”

The spear tip accurately struck the first incoming blade, and the Martial Master felt an irresistible force transmit through the sword, causing his tiger’s mouth to split open and the steel sword to fly out of his hand.

The next moment, the spear shaft was drawn back with the force of wind and thunder, sweeping fiercely across his chest!

”Bang!”

The Martial Master flew backward like a broken sack, his bones shattered, and he died.

Li Yinglong’s steps did not falter; his spear moved like a Dragon, thrusting, piercing, sweeping, and stabbing—simple, ruthless, and without any superfluous flourishes.

Each strike was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and tendons snapping, along with agonizing screams.

”Kill!”

With the Clan Chief leading the charge, the blood of the Li Family members surged, and the fear and anger that had been suppressed for many days completely erupted.

Li Qingshan and Li Qingchuan led the charge, swords drawn, their roars shaking the heavens.

On one side, the Family Head had died violently, the group was leaderless, and morale had collapsed.

On the other side, they had turned the tide from a desperate situation, their Clan Chief displayed Divine Might, and they shared a common hatred for the enemy.

The difference was immediately apparent!

The Lin Family’s formation instantly scattered, crying out in panic and completely routed.

The survivors only regretted not having two more legs, desperately fleeing towards their own manor.

”Stop them! Don’t let a single one escape!”

Li Yinglong’s objective was clear, his gaze fixed on the small group of Lin Family core members who were protecting Lin Liang and frantically heading towards the horse-tying post.

Lin Liang, supported by two confidants, fled for his life, occasionally looking back, his face devoid of color, only extreme fear and malice remaining.

”Horses! Get on the horses quickly!”

A guard cut the reins and pushed Lin Liang onto a strong horse with great effort; the others also mounted their horses.

”Giddy up!”

Whips cracked down hard, and several horses bolted in panic, galloping towards the Lin Family manor outside the city.

”Qingshan, stay and clear the area! Qingchuan, take men and follow me!”

Li Yinglong commanded, leaping onto an ownerless steed, clamping its belly, and galloping out.

Although Li Qingchuan showed fear, he dared not disobey and quickly called five or six skilled escorts to follow.

At this moment, a slender figure silently squeezed through the crowd, skillfully leaped onto another pony, pulled the reins, and even followed at the end of the pursuit team.

It was Li Qingzhu.

The urgent sound of hooves raised a cloud of dust.

The Lin Family manor was only ten li away.

Ahead, Lin Liang and the others desperately spurred their horses, but in their panic, their formation was scattered, and their speed was actually no match for Li Yinglong and his relentless pursuers.

The distance rapidly closed.

They could already clearly see the tall wooden fence and the tightly shut gate of the Lin Family manor.

”Quick! Open the gate quickly!”

Lin Liang shouted towards the manor gate, his voice hoarse and distorted.

The manor gate remained motionless.

Li Yinglong frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his mind.

The Lin Family’s main force had all gone out, so the manor should have been empty, but it was too eerily silent at this moment.

The pursuers had reached a hundred paces outside the manor.

”Ugh!”

Lin Liang was already injured, and caught off guard, he was directly thrown off his horse, falling heavily into the dust, struggling to get up.

Li Yinglong reined in his warhorse, raising his hand to stop the people behind him.

The Li Family escorts quickly spread out, holding their weapons and surrounding these few people, but their gazes involuntarily darted towards the silent manor, their hearts uneasy.

The atmosphere was eerie.

Lin Liang was helped up by a guard, covered in dust and in a sorry state.

However, he did not look at Li Yinglong, who was approaching step by step; instead, he turned his head towards the manor and cried out hoarsely:

”Immortal Master! Immortal Master, save me!”

Immortal Master?

Li Yinglong’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Li Qingchuan and the others behind him, hearing this, also showed looks of alarm and uncertainty.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred!

”Bang!”

The heavy wooden gate of the manor exploded with a roar!

Amidst countless flying splinters, a fist-sized, intensely burning fireball tore through the air, shooting directly at Li Yinglong on horseback!

Fast! Ruthless! Accurate!

Although Li Yinglong had been alert early on, this attack came too suddenly and fiercely!

In the nick of time, his Evergreen True Qi instinctively surged, his body reacting faster than his mind, and he sharply pushed off the stirrup, flipping backward and leaping off!

”Hiss-lulu~ !”

The fireball accurately struck the head of the strong horse beneath him!

There was no collision sound, only a dull explosion and a pained whinny!

A scorching wave of air, carrying a burnt smell and blood, splattered everywhere!

The large horse, from its neck upwards, instantly disappeared!

The severed section was charred black, and the remaining body crashed to the ground, twitching twice before falling silent!

Spiritual Qi fluctuation!

Li Yinglong rolled on the ground, dissipating the force, then abruptly looked up, his eyes filled with shock and solemnity.

He instantly looked at Li Qingzhu behind him.

Li Qingzhu had just reined in her startled mount, her clear eyes fixed on the exploded manor gate, and within them, there was no fear like that of ordinary Li Family members, only the same shock and confirmation as Li Yinglong!

Inside the opponent’s manor, hidden was actually a Cultivator!

”Retreat! Everyone, disperse! Stay away from the manor gate!”

Li Yinglong shouted sternly.

Li Qingchuan and the others had long been scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by that terrifying method, and hearing the command, they felt as if granted a great pardon, scrambling backward a long distance, their sword-holding hands trembling violently.

Seeing this, Lin Liang, however, seemed to grasp the last straw, his face twisted in a smile of intertwined ecstasy and malice, and he shouted hoarsely:

”Immortal Master! Kill him! Kill him quickly! He killed my son Lin Bei! As long as the Immortal Master avenges this blood feud for me, this Junior is willing to lead the way for the Immortal Master. This Linhai City, no, all the wealth and population within a hundred li radius, shall all belong to the Immortal Master!”

He suddenly turned to Li Yinglong, his eyes crazed:

”Old scoundrel! You and your Li Family, all of you shall die today! All of you shall be buried with my son! Under immortal techniques, you are all but ants!”

Under the terrified gazes of the Li Family members, a thin, withered figure slowly stepped out from the shadows of the broken manor gate.

This person was about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a drab, oil-stained Daoist robe, with sparse hair and a sallow face, his small eyes gleaming with a hint of lewdness and greed.

In his upward-facing palm, a cluster of orange-red flames was clearly condensed, flickering erratically, scorching the surrounding air into a slight distortion.

He first glanced at the crazed Lin Liang, his tone filled with undisguised disgust and blame:

”Lin Liang! You fellow are becoming increasingly incompetent! The women sent last time were only three to five, and all of them were common and vulgar. How can this Daoist Master be satisfied?”

He spat, and continued:

”Once this Daoist Master dispatches these annoying ants before me, you must gather all the young women in Linhai City, no, all of them for me! If there are any more mishaps, hmph!”

The threat in his words was undisguised.

After speaking, he finally turned his gaze to the Li Family members, ultimately landing on Li Yinglong, who had quietly completely withdrawn the meager Evergreen True Qi within him, his aura now indistinguishable from an ordinary Martial Master.

This lewd Daoist himself was only at the Qi Refining Second Layer cultivation, far from reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage where Spiritual Sense could be outwardly released to clearly probe others’ Realms; he could only vaguely sense their Qi.

Seeing that Li Yinglong, though physically strong and full of vitality, showed no trace of Spiritual Qi fluctuation, he merely regarded him as an old Mortal man with some martial arts skill, and his demeanor became extremely arrogant.

He spoke hoarsely, with a condescending tone of charity:

”Old man, seeing that your martial arts training is not easy, this Daoist Master is in a decent mood today and will give you a chance. Kneel down, kowtow three times, and pledge allegiance to this old man, and also... hmm, leave that pretty little girl behind. This Daoist Master might be merciful and spare you and your disciples’ dog lives.”

As he spoke, the fireball in his hand flickered slightly, the threat self-evident.
