Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 489 - 495: Seriously Injured

The Magical Treasure was shaped like a conch. As long as Divine Sense was used to inject what one wished to say into it, it would automatically transform it into a very, very loud sound!

Li Zhiyueʼs plan was to borrow the power of the Magical Treasure to tell all the cultivators trapped in the Formation that, if they acted against the Formation simultaneously, they could shatter it in an instant and then flee in all directions.

As for whether they would take action, Li Zhiyue dared not guarantee, but in the face of despair, when a glimmer of hope suddenly emerged, surely everyone would desperately seize that slim chance of survival.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Zhiyue threw the conch out, activated it, and then actively extinguished her Divine Sense within it.

”Fellow Daoists, five breaths from now, if everyone attacks the Formation at the same time, it can be broken, and only then will there be a chance to survive!”

The sentence was not very fluent, but what needed to be expressed had been made clear.

”Damn it!”

The complexions of the two Nascent Soul cultivators changed slightly. If there was an accident in this operation and the news leaked out, the Han Family would lose the huge market of the Loose Cultivators!

Indeed, it was because of their confidence that they never concealed their faces; even if none of the cultivators present recognized them, once the incident spread, there would be a day when they would be exposed.

Why set up a third-tier Formation and not a fourth-tier one? Mainly because the fourth-tier Formation was more complex, consumed more resources, and they looked down upon these Golden Core cultivators, feeling there was no need to use a fourth-tier Formation.

Moreover, there had never been a problem with their previous operations, so naturally, no one would notice this flaw in the Formation.

The time of five breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Some cultivators acted immediately according to Li Zhiyueʼs words, while others hurriedly followed suit after seeing others take action.

Regardless, with the combined effort of everyone, the Formation that trapped them shattered instantly, dispersing as Spirit Light into the world.

All the cultivators felt as if they had survived a calamity, but they didnʼt celebrate for long before they started to escape at their fastest speeds.

Li Zhiyue was the fastest, and since she was also the farthest away, she soon distanced herself from those two Nascent Soul True Lords.

”Huu!”

Li Zhiyue let out a long, turbid breath.

But soon, she could no longer feel at ease!

Because, to keep this secret safe, the two Nascent Soul True Lords fell into a frenzy, unleashing their full power to slaughter the fleeing cultivators.

And because Li Zhiyue had run the fastest and farthest, she was targeted by one of the Nascent Soul True Lords from the very beginning.

”Itʼs over,” the person said coldly, and then a point of Spirit Light appeared on his fingertip, eventually transforming into a dark green round log that, like an arrow released from a bowstring, carried the force of splitting the air as it smashed towards Li Zhiyue.

ʼDanger!ʼ

Li Zhiyueʼs heart pounded uncontrollably, unleashing every type of Spell, Divine Power, Talismans, and Magical Treasures she had.

”Puff—”

Unfortunately, against the assault of a Nascent Soul, all of Li Zhiyueʼs myriad techniques were of no use. She was sent flying backward, smashing heavily into the ground, coughing up a large mouthful of blood.

”Eh? Sheʼs not dead? She does have some skills, but itʼs a pity, the Dao heart is clouded, greed prevails, this will be all there is to her life. Rather than wasting resources, it would be better to die here and now, it would actually be a good thing.”

Even a Nascent Soul True Lord could not possibly discern so much at a glance. It was mainly because he had cultivated a Divine Power that could pierce through the Dao heart. Seeing that Li Zhiyue did not die, he took a curious glance at her.

```

Having said that, another attack came hurtling towards her.

Li Zhiyue did not want to die like this; she wanted to live! There were still so many things she hadnʼt accomplished! She still owed her family so much, and without repaying that debt, how could she just die?!

Before death could claim her, Li Zhiyue finally realized her mistakes.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

She simply couldnʼt withstand another attack from a Nascent Soul now.

ʼWhen faced with unstoppable danger, use this Spirit Talisman...ʼ Suddenly, Li Zhiyueʼs mind was flooded with words Li Zhirui had said to her many years ago.

As if blessed by some divine providence, Li Zhiyue activated the fourth-grade Talismans which Li Zhirui had left for her. An immense phantom of an ancient bronze bell appeared and enveloped her within it.

”A fourth-grade Spirit Talisman?!” The attackerʼs expression shifted slightly and took a deep look at Li Zhiyue, but he did not tangle with her anymore, instead turning to deal with other Cultivators.

It wasnʼt that he couldnʼt break through the ancient bell, but it would take at least a quarter of an hour at full power. Otherwise, it would take even longer.

Such a long time would allow the other Cultivators to have long since fled without a trace. It was unnecessary to let a large number of Cultivators escape just for the sake of capturing her alone.

However, before he left, he informed a kin who was at the Golden Core Late Stage to come and watch over Li Zhiyue to prevent her escape.

But what he could never have anticipated was that a severely injured Cultivator would successfully escape from under the eyes of a Golden Core Late Stage!

Li Zhiyue was able to escape this time thanks to her two third-grade Spirit Beasts: a Water Spirit Turtle skilled in defense and a Long-tailed White Bird known for its incredible flying speed.

Additionally, it was her relentless push on her own limits and her fearless determination that allowed her to get away from her pursuer successfully.

However, Li Zhiyueʼs condition was not much better; already severely injured, her body became even more so after the battle. A slight misstep could have meant she wouldnʼt be able to open her eyes again.

——

”You girl, youʼve finally decided to come back?” Jiang Fengwu hurriedly approached, embracing Li Chengshuo, with more tenderness than blame in his voice.

Li Zhirui, standing to the side and looking at the weak and pale Li Chengshuo, flashed a touch of distress in his eyes but remained silent.

”Daddy, I know I was wrong, and I wonʼt scheme against our family members again.” Just a single sentence caused Li Chengshuo to cough several times, indicating the severity of her injuries.

As it turned out, Li Chengshuo was also an innocent victim this time.

Shen Leishan had been collaborating with the Profound Ice Sect in a large battle against the Taixu Devil Race, which spilled over and involved Cultivators like Li Chengshuo who were training in the Great Void Province.

If it werenʼt for the many life-saving Spiritual Objects she had, she would have ended up like the other Cultivators – dead in the wilderness, either being devoured by Devil Beasts or burned to ash by fellow Cultivators.

”Knowing your mistake is good, go back and rest to heal your injuries,” said Li Zhirui, no longer able to bear it, as he sighed and spoke with full concern.

At the same time, he ordered Hugan in the space of the three Devil Beasts to select Spiritual Medicine for refining healing Spirit Pills. Once he had them ready, he would immediately send them to her.

”Itʼs all your fault! If it wasnʼt for you, Shuo would not have been injured so severely, she almost didnʼt make it back!” As Jiang Fengwu brought Li Chengshuo back to her room, his first words upon entering were a complaint against Li Zhirui.

Although Li Zhirui didnʼt feel that there was a problem with his actions, facing Jiang Fengwu, who was angry and outraged, he wisely did not retort, opting instead to change the subject.

”Iʼm preparing to refine a few batches of healing Spirit Pills for Shuo.”

Jiang Fengwuʼs brow furrowed immediately, as he said urgently, ”Then what are you still doing here? Go and start Alchemy now!”
