Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 789 - 795: Capturing

Unfortunately, there are still too few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Li family, and if they are spread out across the vast and boundless Wanxian Province, they are too far apart from each other. If a real battle were to break out, they likely wouldnʼt be able to arrive in time.

Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, whom everyone was longing for, was making his way to Wanxian Island with all his might.

As soon as he entered Wanxian Province, he sensed a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy not far away.

”If I remember correctly, that direction should be where the familyʼs Immortal City is being constructed, right?”

Li Zhirui was certain he hadnʼt remembered wrong, his face instantly darkened, and he flew towards the Immortal City as fast as he could.

From a great distance, he saw a masked Nascent Soul cultivator destroying the Immortal Cityʼs Defensive Formation, and he was about to break through!

”How dare you!”

Li Zhirui roared, and the Purification Principle in the world around him stirred, as if it had materialized, binding the person tightly.

”Li Zhirui! How did you come back!” The masked Nascent Soul recognized Li Zhirui at first glance, his pupils shrank violently, knowing his end was near, he tried to commit suicide to avoid falling into his hands.

If he really allowed this person to succeed in committing suicide before him, he wouldnʼt deserve to be called Divine Transformation!

Spiritual energy transformed into a palm, and with a slap to the masked Nascent Soulʼs chest, all his meridians were sealed, making it impossible to control his body anymore.

”Ancestor Rui! Youʼve finally returned!”

The Golden Core clan members stationed there were overwhelmed with excitement as they flew up and said, ”If you had been just a moment later, all the clan members in the Immortal City would have been slaughtered by him.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiruiʼs expression deepened, and he urgently asked, ”Have many clan members been killed now?”

”Yes, in the past year, more than three hundred of our clan members have died at their hands, and several marketplaces and Immortal Cities have been destroyed because of them.” He said this with a face full of sorrow.

If it werenʼt for Li Zhiruiʼs timely appearance today, he too probably would have been added to this casualty list.

”What were Fengwu and Da Qing doing? Why didnʼt they catch this person?”

”Ancestor Rui, you may not know, these people form an organization made up of cultivators who have been harmed by our family. They have nine Nascent Soul members, dozens of Golden Cores, and even hundreds of lower-ranking cultivators. The elders at home have tried everything to eradicate many of them.”

”But these Nascent Souls are elusive and extremely cautious. Two months ago, Sheng Ancestor and Shuo Ancestor used themselves as bait to draw out four Nascent Souls and slay them.”

The death of these four did indeed deter the remaining five for a while, but it wasnʼt long before they started acting again.

Because of this organizationʼs series of actions, loose cultivators from Wanxian Province fled one after another, the Li familyʼs business plummeted, and income sharply decreased.

If they couldnʼt directly sell to Xuanfa Pavilion and Southern Edge Commerce Association, the two major commerce associations, the Li family would barely make any Spirit Stones.

”So itʼs a group of scourges!” Li Zhirui understood their origins, his eyes brimming with killing intent as he looked at the person lying before him.

”You all go back first, I will find a way to solve this!”

”Yes!” The clan member responded spiritedly, his eyes filled with fervent confidence.

Since Li Zhiruiʼs breakthrough to Divine Transformation, he has been like a calming needle to the sea in the hearts of the clan members. No matter the issue, as long as he was there, there was nothing that couldnʼt be resolved!

”The Divine Transformation of the Li family has returned! Wanxian Province can finally settle down!”

”We donʼt have to live in fear like before, and we can cultivate in peace now!”

Most of the loose cultivators in the Immortal City breathed a sigh of relief, but there were a few who were extremely frightened and took the opportunity to slip away.

——

Atop a desolate mountain.

”Speak, where is the base of your organization located?” Li Zhirui looked indifferently at the Nascent Soul in front of him, covered in sweat from the pain.

As an Alchemy Master, although Li Zhirui seldom concocted poisons, it didnʼt mean he couldnʼt! He was not only capable, he was quite formidable.

To create a poison that would make someone feel intense pain at all times without causing death was simply a piece of cake!

”Tough mouth, but I believe that you will eventually spill everything,” Li Zhirui said, unimpressed by his resilience, before forcefully feeding him a Spirit Pill.

This Spirit Pill was non-toxic, it merely amplified a personʼs perception by tenfold!

It also protected the Spiritual Soul from harm—a very precious kind of Spirit Pill indeed. Administering it to this person was letting him off cheaply.

”Ahhh!”

Even though his body suffered no physical injuries, the intense pain still swept through his entire body as if seeping out from his very bones.

In the face of such agony, death seemed insignificant.

Li Zhirui ignored the screams of torment and slowly closed his eyes, no longer pressing for answers, but patiently waiting for him to talk voluntarily.

”Iʼll talk, Iʼll tell you everything! Please let me go!” The man held out for only five breaths before he couldnʼt endure the pain any longer, screaming madly for mercy.

”Our base is located in the waters below the Three Sand State, in the midpoint of the boundary river between Green Mountain State and Yuanming Province.”

”Iʼve said everything, please kill me! Iʼd rather die than suffer such torment again.”

Amidst wails filled with excruciating pain, Li Zhirui finally opened his eyes, ”Youʼre still of some use, your life is spared for now.”

After giving him the antidote, knocking him unconscious, and administering a Somnolence Pill to seal his Dantian, Li Zhirui placed him into a space.

Li Zhiruiʼs decision to not kill the man was naturally out of fear of alarming the organization, causing them to discover his death and flee from the underwater base prematurely.

Having confirmed the location of their base, Li Zhirui concealed his presence and flew towards the boundary river.

”What should we do now? Ye Si was captured by Li Zhirui. If he reveals our hiding place, weʼre doomed! None of us will escape death!”

Cunning rabbits have three burrows; their organizationʼs official base was elsewhere. Only the Nascent Soul and some important, trustworthy Golden Core Cultivators knew about this secret underwater base.

As long as they didnʼt meet with any accidents, it doesnʼt matter if other Cultivators died in droves; lower-level Cultivators were expendable and abundant.

”He wonʼt spill, will he? You know how tight-lipped Ye Si is.”

”But you canʼt rule out the possibility, right? Just in case he really did...”

Bang!

Before the sentence was finished, a loud noise came from outside.

This sound made everyone present shiver and their faces were filled with disbelief!

”Bring it on, letʼs see what youʼve got. To think youʼd dare to lay a hand on the Li family! I will make you pay for each of the more than three hundred lives,” Li Zhirui said.

He didnʼt take any of these people seriously, just a bunch of desperate curs and ingrates. Killing them would be like picking items from his own pocket.

”Iʼll fight you to the death!”

Bang!

He had only taken three steps before being sent flying by a casual blast of palm wind from Li Zhirui.

”Forget it, I wonʼt waste my time on you any further. Come back with me!”
