Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1287: Chapter 1112: Frequent_2

Not long after, the Fengxi clan discovered several Water Devil gathering places nearby. After confirming the locations, Li Zhixuan immediately took action.

The first location had a large number of Water Devils, though their strength was average. With Wanling Island’s power, they could be quickly dealt with.

As long as the blockade was handled well, there was no worry about information leaking, nor would it alert other Water Devil forces, making it easier for the cultivators to purge them.

So Li Zhixuan immediately sent clan members out to swiftly resolve this group of Water Devils.

Upon arriving at the destination, the group didn’t attack right away. Instead, they first set up a Confinement Array to trap the Water Devils, ensuring no information leak.

”Not good!”

The moment the Formation was set up, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations were immediately noticed by a keen Water Devil. It wanted to alert its fellow kin, but it was too late. Even if they all struck, it would only be a struggle before death.

”Attack!”

With Li Zhixuan’s command, all clan members acted in unison, with various Divine Powers flashing and flickering, like splendid fireworks.

Yet in such a beautiful environment, a massive loss of life was occurring.

Li Zhixuan didn’t make a move herself because none among this group of Water Devils was worth her effort.

Within merely one or two hours, the group had entirely eliminated these Water Devils, leaving no survivors!

In the following time, similar tactics were applied.

The group traveled around, dealing with several weaker Sea Clan groups, leaving only the last two groups containing Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils.

”Ancestor Xuan, do we continue?”

Li Zhixuan naturally wanted to because she hadn’t personally acted all day. However, seeing her clan members’ weary expressions, she ultimately decided to wait until the next day.

She reckoned nothing unexpected would happen overnight.

Moreover, another group of clan members needed to be brought in.

Early the next morning, Li Zhixuan led her clan directly to a certain sea area.

”Something’s wrong! Be careful!” Li Zhixuan suddenly shouted.

The Cloud Boat instantly activated its full defenses, and the heavy Light Shield gave the clan members enough sense of security.

Boom——

Before her words fell fully, columns of water the size of millstones shot up from the seabed, flashing with Spirit Light, and actually turned the tables, trapping the Li family in a Formation.

’Still discovered!’

Li Zhixuan didn’t feel any regret. What if they were discovered? What if they were ambushed? With absolute power, even an ambush could be safe.

So many Water Devils had died the day before. Even if they were well guarded against leakages, once someone contacted them and got no response, it naturally exposed that something had happened.

”Die for me!”

Two Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils attacked simultaneously as if wishing to end it all at once. As long as they took down Li Zhixuan, the remaining cultivators would be negligible.

Unfortunately, they underestimated Li Zhixuan.

She had crawled out from mounds of corpses and seas of blood, not knowing how many life-and-death challenges she had faced, yet she had come through fine.

Now, what could this little scheming possibly amount to?

Facing the two demonic presences’ fierce attacks, Li Zhixuan maintained remarkable calmness, instructing other clan members to engage, and only then formally confronted the two demons.

Li Zhixuan’s Sword Dao had already reached Returning to the Truth, with simple Sword Skills harboring terrifying power.

Just like now, with just a swing of her sword, a Sword Qi that seemed able to shatter everything flashed out, directly confronting the two demons’ attack.

To everyone’s amazement, their killing moves seemed as fragile as paper before the Sword Qi.

The two Water Devils exchanged glances and saw terror and fear in each other’s eyes. They had heard of Li Zhixuan’s reputation, but because it was too exaggerated, they never believed it.

But now it seemed, everything described was true!

”Heh!”

Li Zhixuan’s gaze swept over the two, and upon seeing their fear, she sneered.

The battle had just begun, yet their mentality had already shifted drastically. This approach was a path leading to death!

Since they sought their demise, Li Zhixuan would not hold back.

”With just you, trying to ambush me? Perhaps in your next life, you might have a slight chance.”

As she spoke, Sword Qi surged into the sky, emitting a chilling aura. Those with unstable Dao Hearts, just a glance would bring forth strange visions in their eyes, aggravating their Dao Heart issues, and with bad luck, might even invoke a Heart Demon.

Nonetheless, while Li Zhixuan held contempt for the two demons, she knew clearly that slaying them here would not be an easy task.

No matter their shortcomings, they were still of the Immortal Realm!

Soon, both sides were entangled fiercely, yet Li Zhixuan decidedly held the absolute advantage, then began to moderate her approach.

This wasn’t because Li Zhixuan lacked Mana or was tired, but rather she aimed for a bigger prize, intending to capture the two entirely.

However, unexpectedly, as she was just setting the stage, they were already retreating!

Even with all her experience and knowledge, Li Zhixuan found herself momentarily speechless.

”Truly... it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such cowardly Immortal Realm Water Devils.”

Yet, as those two demons managed to escape, the other Water Devils weren’t so fortunate. In no time, they were completely purged, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.

”Let’s go back to Wanling Island.”

The other Water Devil group had already merged with them, making another trip unnecessary.

”Further away, there must be a large number of Water Devils.” Li Zhixuan gazed eastward, but quickly withdrew her thoughts.

That wasn’t a place she could venture with her clan, as the Water Devils there were strong and widespread. At their first move, they would likely be surrounded by the surrounding Water Devils.

If no Water Devils enter the nearby sea, their task would be considered complete. They just needed to gather Spiritual Objects on the island slowly. When the beast tide arrived, they could leave the island directly.

Meanwhile,

Mount Wanxian.

”Ancestor Rui, there’s movement!” Li Yunchang handed over a Jade Slip with a somewhat grave expression.

Li Zhirui’s powerful Divine Sense swept over it, instantly grasping the entire content, which only conveyed one thing: the Fengxi clan had discovered three foreign scattered immortals.

One could occasionally hear bits of conversation, though no useful content.

”Three people?”

Li Zhirui pondered, ultimately abandoning the idea of fighting all three on his own, opting instead for a more cautious approach.

Since it was not yet clear when the great tribulation would progress, if he were to face three opponents alone, prolonged battle might see Li Zhirui victorious, but not without considerable cost.

Just the time needed for healing would be significant, and if any problem arose during that time, would he have to issue commands or even fight with injuries?

Thus, remaining careful and prudent was better.

”Where are they now?” Li Zhirui asked.

”About over a hundred miles away from Mount Wanxian.”

Li Zhirui nodded, instructing to keep a close watch on their movements and notify him immediately if they approached the clan grounds.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the short journey of over a hundred miles took Xu Shenzhang, Jiang He, and an unknown scattered immortal several days to finally appear before Mount Wanxian.

No one knew what they were doing on the way because they barely spoke. The Fengxi clan naturally couldn’t glean any intel.

”Cultivators inside, as long as you leave obediently, we absolutely won’t harm you!” Xu Shenzhang tried calling out.

But instead of a jubilant group of clansmen welcoming him, he was met with various Divine Powers attacking him.

”Hmph! You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Since you’re courting death, don’t blame me for not sparing you for the sake of fellow cultivators.”

Boom!

A massive bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, poised to smash the Mountain Protection Array if it hit.

Yet, just as the lightning was about to touch the Formation, layers of gigantic leaves rapidly formed, blocking it.

”Last time we didn’t get to fight; this time, let us three senior brothers see how strong you really are!”

”Let’s go together!”

The newcomer, Zhang Zongkang, hadn’t personally experienced Li Zhirui’s formidable presence, so he held back somewhat, but the other two launched full-on deadly attacks!
