Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 524 - 530: Furious Rage

”Disciple Liu has perished!”

Aboard Shen Leishanʼs Spirit Boat, a cultivator responsible for overseeing the Life Tokens ran to the crowd in a panic and whispered.

”Which Disciple Liu?”

Someone didnʼt react at first, but as soon as the words came out, they understood which Disciple Liu the speaker was referring to, causing their breathing to halt for a few moments.

”How is that possible? Disciple Liu had several life-saving Spiritual Objects on him, how could he perish in the Secret Realm?!” someone exclaimed in disbelief.

Although everyone was arguing, they all suppressed their voices, fearing to disturb Cloud Thunder True Lord who was cultivating in the room.

”How should I know! But now the problem is, Disciple Liuʼs Life Token has shattered! Brace yourselves for Masterʼs Wrath of Thunder!”

This was a serious matter, and he dared not hide anything; informing the crowd beforehand was already a courtesy based on past relationships.

You must know, Chengfeng was a Dual Spirit Root of Wind and Fire, not only was his aptitude extraordinary, but his comprehension was also top-notch. When he broke through to the Golden Core Stage, he comprehended wind and fire Divine Power and was regarded as a Nascent Soul seed by all cultivators of Shen Leishan!

Although he was not formally accepted as a disciple by Cloud Thunder, it was only in name. In fact, since his initiation, he had always been taught by Cloud Thunderʼs side, their relationship was no less than that of father and son.

”Master, I have an important matter to report to you,” the cultivator guarding the Life Tokens said, knocking on the door with trembling hands.

”Come in!”

The person trembled all over, as if already foreseeing their fate, walked in as if ready to face death, and said directly, ”Master, Disciple Liuʼs Life Token has shattered!”

He didnʼt dare to say directly that Chengfeng had perished.

”What did you say?!”

Cloud Thunder suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrible Nascent Soul pressure burst out instantaneously, like a tidal wave in a stormy sea, stirring up endless waves, ready to engulf the person in front of him.

Perhaps it was truly a loss of spirit, or perhaps in an attempt to escape, the person passed out on the spot.

”Bang!”

But even so, they still couldnʼt escape Cloud Thunderʼs fury and were directly thrown out by a mana hand.

The Golden Core cultivators outside all bowed their heads, not even glancing at their sect mate who lay like a dead dog.

”How could Fengʼer have perished?! No matter who did it, I will tear you to pieces, use your Spiritual Soul to light a lamp, and subject you to endless torture!”

”All of you! Listen well!”

An extremely gloomy voice resounded above their heads, ”After the Secret Realm opens, all of you will enter, find the culprit, and bring him back alive to me, if you canʼt do that, then go keep Fengʼer company!”

”Yes!”

How could anyone dare to object? They promptly agreed without hesitation, not daring to delay.

It was only after a long time, when they could no longer sense Cloud Thunderʼs presence, that they dared to raise their heads, they exchanged glances, and saw that everyoneʼs faces were filled with bitterness and fear.

Bring them back alive from the Secret Realm!?

If it were the disciples of some small powers, that would be manageable, as they wouldnʼt dare to resist. But if it were disciples from the Li family, the Water Spirit Sect, or Wuya Mountain, would the three Nascent Soul True Lords stand by and watch their juniors die?

And whoever could kill Chengfeng, how could they possibly be from a minor force?

When the time came, they were mere ants that could be eradicated by the hands of two battling True Lords.

”Hm?”

The commotion on Shen Leishanʼs side instantly attracted the attention of the other cultivators, who all looked over.

”Has a disciple valued by their Sect perished in the Secret Realm?”

This thought simultaneously surfaced in everyoneʼs minds. They were then slightly worried that if the death of that disciple had anything to do with their own family, then...

Seeing how enraged Cloud Thunder was, it was certain that he would not let this matter go easily. A great battle might even break out!

Li Zhirui, who had been cultivating in his private space, was called out by Xiaoqing, who was monitoring the situation outside, and learned about the incident.

”It shouldnʼt be related to Zhixuan and the others,” Li Zhirui thought for a moment and then shook his head.

Among the five members of the Li family who entered the Secret Realm, only Li Zhixuan had the strength to show. But to kill a Golden Core cultivator valued so greatly by a Nascent Soul True Lord with her power was still unlikely.

Yet, for some reason, Li Zhirui felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

”Xiaoqing, when the gateway to the Secret Realm opens, you must inform me immediately!” To be on the safe side, Li Zhirui began to pay more attention to the news from the Secret Realm.

In case something bad happened, he could react immediately.

”Understood, donʼt worry too much,” Xiaoqing didnʼt want Li Zhiruiʼs cultivation to be disturbed, which could lead to very serious issues!

”Donʼt worry.”

Li Zhirui responded, then returned to his private space to calm his mind before continuing his cultivation.

——

Inside the Secret Realm.

A quarter of an hour earlier.

”Liu, are you okay?” the older cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage asked with genuine concern, grasping his right hand.

The other Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator had split up with them in a panic during their escape.

”Thank you for your concern, Master Gu, Iʼm fine,” Liu Chengfeng managed a strained smile, but the fear from witnessing that earth-shattering sword strike couldnʼt be suppressed in his heart.

He had always believed himself to be chosen by the heavens, but now he realized that he was just a self-important frog in a well, insignificant in the vast Great Thousand World.

But in the next moment, Liu Chengfeng could no longer smile, as shock, disbelief, and anger flickered across his face, leaving only frustration and confusion. He looked up at Gu Huaiwei and asked, ”Why?”

It was because Gu Huaiwei had taken advantage of Liu Chengfengʼs distraction to stab a dagger through his Dantian.

”Because I donʼt want to die, I want to continue living!” Emotions running high, a stream of black qi emerged from within Gu Huaiwei.

”Demonic Qi?!” Liu Chengfengʼs face paled as he asked incredulously, ”Youʼve actually joined the Demonic Tao!”

Gu Huaiwei replied nonchalantly, ”So what? As long as it helps me break through to Nascent Soul, as long as it keeps me alive, whatʼs wrong with the Demonic Tao!”

”Which Demon Sect has beguiled you? What is their purpose in having you do this?” Liu Chengfeng could feel his life slipping away, and he did not want to die for unknown reasons.

”Yuanluo Sect has spent so much effort trying to take over Green Mountain State, but it was all ruined because of the Li family. Naturally, this debt must be settled properly!”

Perhaps at the time of upheaval in Green Mountain State, no one thought to consider the Li family, but a bit of investigation after the fact had brought them to light.

Hearing this, Liu Chengfeng understood.

”No wonder youʼve been whispering in my ear these past few days about the disputes between the Li family and our Sect. You wanted to fan my discontent towards the Li family.”

”And today, under everyoneʼs gaze, as we pursued a Li family cultivator, it ended with my death. Master Cloud Thunder will naturally assume it was the doing of the Li family. In his anger, he is very likely to start a great war to avenge me.”
