Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1320: Chapter 1129: Danger ”Damn it! This family was actually prepared in advance!” A late-stage Independent Immortal Water Devil driving the beast tide from behind said angrily.

Whether it was the steep and solitary cliffs along the coast or the cities within the two water canyons, and the tens of thousands of cultivators stationed there from long ago, all pointed to the fact that the Li family was well-prepared.

Because the canyon waterways were narrow, they couldn’t accommodate too many Water Devils at once, resulting in over a hundred thousand Water Devils dying without even touching the city walls!

Although these low-level Water Devils were mere consumables, cannon fodder, and no one would mourn their deaths, the lack of hope in breaking this defense was what truly infuriated them.

”In this situation, what do you all think we should do?” The leading late-stage Independent Immortal Water Devil, Mo Qiu, asked with an ugly expression.

”Depending on those useless creatures, even if they all died, it’s unlikely we could breach the two cities. According to intelligence, this Li family, a cultivation family, only has three Free Immortals, and their cultivation level is at the mid-stage of Free Immortal. If we attack together, pressuring one of the cities shouldn’t take long to capture it!”

The Water Devil continued, ”As long as we breach the city, the cultivators would no longer have the protection of the Formation. Facing the beast tide, they would be utterly defenseless, allowing us to march unopposed, and the Li family could do nothing to us!”

”Alright! If there’s no other way, we’ll do as Lan Mu suggests.” Mo Qiu didn’t want to delay any further, as the large number of low-level Water Devils dying was like a slap to their faces, mocking their incompetence.

Woooo——

A deep and resonant horn sounded, and the Water Devils, driven to advance continuously, suddenly stopped. But in the next moment, their eyes turned blood-red, and, as if insane, they charged forward without regard for anything.

Standing behind the city wall watching the battle, Li Zhirui saw this situation and his expression grew a bit more solemn; if these Water Devils disregarded their lives, they would place immense pressure on the defending cultivators!

The disparity in numbers was indeed too great, and the cultivators’ side was not superior to the Water Devils in strength. The previous advantage was due to the Li family occupying advantageous terrain.

”Zhirui, should we trigger the traps outside the city now?” Jiang Fengwu, stationed at the center of the two cities, was not only in charge of overseeing the Great Array but also of liaising and communicating between the two sides.

As defenders for a long time, the Li family had accumulated a wealth of experience in setting traps, so much so that they were now undetectable by the Water Devils.

”Let’s wait a bit longer; the pressure from the Sea Clan isn’t overwhelming yet, and it’s too early to reveal these trump cards.” Li Zhirui thought for a moment and decided against taking any immediate action.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengwu didn’t say more, but shortly after, a voice filled with urgency suddenly rang out, ”Not good! Those few Independent Immortal Water Devils are simultaneously attacking and have besieged Zhixuan!”

”So that’s how it is!”

Li Zhirui immediately understood the reason behind the low-level Water Devils’ frenzied breakthrough: they intended to divert his attention so that he remained there, unable to assist Li Zhixuan.

”What is the strength of those Water Devils?”

”One late-stage Independent Immortal, two mid-stage Independent Immortals, and three early-stage Independent Immortals.”

Upon hearing this number, Li Zhirui sneered. It seemed the Sea Clan was truly investing heavily in this operation!

Just for Li family’s Shanhai State, they sent six Independent Immortals; how many more might there be in other regions?

The coastline of the East Continent stretches billions of leagues, and countless coastal forces exist there, including two top-tier powers in East Continent’s Immortal Tao, the Cave Abyss Sect and Yumen He Family.

Even if these major powers’ territories weren’t among the regions the Sea Clan desired to conquer, they would still send strong enough Sea Clan forces to hold them at bay and prevent their intervention.

”If their numbers could be halved, though Zhixuan might not be able to win, she could certainly stall the battle; but who says the Li family has no other Free Immortals?”

Li Zhirui immediately contacted Feng Buming, asking him and another Free Immortal from the clan to help Li Zhixuan by restraining two Free Immortals, with Jiang Fengwu assisting through the Formation to ease her pressure.

Of course, this situation couldn’t last long.

But Li Zhirui believed that the greatly relieved Li Zhixuan would seize the opportunity to break the stalemate!

...

Whew, whew——

Two sharp Wind Blades suddenly shot out from the side, their speed so fast that Lan Mu and Huang Juan, two Water Devils, had to dodge.

Immediately after, weapons formed from condensed Gang Wind launched another attack on them, forcing the two Water Devils further away from the battlefield, effectively taking them out of the fight.

Feng Buming and Feng Changqing appeared simultaneously, engaging in fierce combat with Lan Mu and Huang Juan, giving them no chance to return to the battlefield with Li Zhixuan.

At the same time, Jiang Fengwu also used the Formation to distract an early-stage Independent Immortal Water Devil.

Li Zhixuan’s pressure was suddenly reduced significantly, and she now faced only the late-stage Independent Immortal Mo Qiu and two early-stage Independent Immortal Water Devils.

”Hmph!”

Mo Qiu snorted coldly and said, ”Don’t think that finding a few helpers can change the end of your downfall today!”

”Old fool, you’re not that strong, but you sure talk a lot! Let me see who dies under my sword today!” Li Zhixuan replied with killing intent, then mobilized the Mana within her body and slashed a Sword Qi at Mo Qiu.

The Sword Qi soared to the sky, and the atmosphere was suddenly filled with a sharp killing intent. The strike descended, and a red-black gleam shot straight at Mo Qiu’s throat.

Mo Qiu’s face changed drastically; he truly sensed a strong threat from it and had no choice but to infuse a large amount of Mana into his Life-bound Magic Treasure, raising a thick shadow of black light to shield himself.
