Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2145 1542: Departure (2)

But at this moment, they have more important things to do, no time to teach these two ʼyoungstersʼ who donʼt understand rank, they quickly withdrew their gaze.

Other cultivators saw them not taking action and also started to leave in droves.

Although many cultivators previously said they wanted to stay and watch the Earth Immortal battle, when the event is about to happen, not many are willing to remain.

After all, the battlefield of such high-level cultivators is extremely dangerous, easily affecting oneself. At that time, if they end up losing their lives, it would be too unworthy.

Tens of thousands of cultivators surged out, afraid of getting involved in it.

In a short time, the once-crowded portal of the secret realm was left with only dozens of cultivators.

But as the portal was about to dissipate, they still couldnʼt see the identities of those three Loose Cultivator Earth Immortals, and fewer cultivators were willing to stay.

In the end, only a dozen Earth Immortals remained waiting, unwilling to give up.

”Senior Brother Liu, do you think itʼs possible they have already hidden among the crowd and quietly left the secret realm?”

”The Earth Immortal cultivators who entered the secret realm earlier were all accounted for...”

”What if theyʼve concealed their cultivation?”

Even though they set up formations to break illusions nearby, those Earth Immortals might have means to hide from the formationʼs detection.

If thatʼs the case, the formations theyʼve set up would be completely useless!

”This...”

The words left everyone speechless, lowering their heads in disappointment.

”Sigh!”

”It seems we are destined to have no connection with those spiritual objects.”

An Earth Immortal sighed deeply, saying, ”Letʼs go.”

The spirit light at the portal of the secret realm had already become dim, and if they didnʼt leave soon, they might be left stranded in the secret realm.

When the last cultivator returned to the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, the portal completely dissipated, and the secret realm once again hid from view.

...

Elsewhere.

After leaving the secret realm, Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang slowed their pace, allowing the group that had plotted against them to catch up.

The opposite side had done so much preparation, so they had to cooperate and play their part.

”Theyʼre here!”

The two simultaneously sensed the commotion from behind, but having anticipated it, they were not panic-stricken and remained calm.

Before long, a group of twelve caught up to them.

”Didnʼt expect the two of you to be in such a hurry to leave, and your speed is so fast, it really gave us quite a chase.”

These cultivators seemed fine but surrounded them, indicating they were not coming with good intentions.

”What do you intend to do?” Li Zhirui feigned ignorance.

”Haha! Playing dumb is not bad, at least death wonʼt be as painful.”

Fu Chengguangʼs tone was disdainful, ”Do you think with this kind of strength, you can defeat us?”

”Your strength is indeed commendable, but with our numbers, do you think weʼd be afraid of you?!”

”Stop wasting words with them, just take action, deal with them, and divide the spiritual objects among us.” One cultivator said impatiently.

”Take action!”

With an order, those Human Immortal cultivators simultaneously attacked, launching strong killing moves right at the start to take them down swiftly.

Unfortunately, they greatly underestimated Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguangʼs strength!

One unleashed a vine attack, another set up a defensive formation, with just one move each, not only blocking the killing moves of several Human Immortals but also binding them with vines, rendering them unable to move.

In just one round, they realized the twoʼs strength was formidable, and they were no match, but it was already too late, caught and at their mercy.

”Fellow Daoists, we were blind and reckless, offended you, weʼre willing to offer spiritual objects for a chance at survival.” Immediately, one Human Immortal begged humbly.

”Yes, my brother and I are not vicious individuals without thoughts of taking lives casually, but youʼve wasted a lot of our time, if you want to live, you must pay a ransom.”

Li Zhirui smiled, ”Hand over all your storage magical treasures.”

”What?!”

”No way! Iʼd rather die than agree!”

”Without these spiritual objects, how long would it take to advance our cultivation?”

His demand caused a strong rejection among the group; they were not willing to agree to this condition.

”No need to agree, weʼll kill you and the spiritual objects will be ours anyway.”

Fu Chengguang spoke indifferently, ”Stop wasting time, deal with them quickly.”

”Okay.”

Though wanting to resist, the restriction within them limited their actions, making it impossible to struggle, only prolonging their survival through futile efforts.

Fearful pain never came, and as they looked up, they saw familiar magic artifacts in their opponentʼs hands.

And they were their storage magical treasures!

In the next instant, a sharp pain erupted in the sea of consciousness, causing uncontrollable screams, venting the agony.

Realizing their divine sense imprinted on the storage magical treasures was wiped away with immense force.

As they strained to recover, looking for traces of the two, they had already vanished, only the leftover restrictions confirmed it wasnʼt all just an illusionary realm.

”Hahahaha...”

One cultivator suddenly burst into crazy laughter, devoid of joy, filled with desolation and sorrow, leaving him dispirited.

Thinking of a lifetimeʼs wealth being so easily stolen in front of him, unable to resist, his reaction becomes understandable.

”Gone! All gone! The spiritual objects are gone, our path is halted.” He slumped to the ground, endlessly repeating mournfully.

”Itʼs all your fault! Had you not been greedy, thinking those two were weak to rob, we wouldnʼt be in this mess!”

One cultivator vented his anger at his companion, hoping to lessen his guilt.

”Blame me! Hahaha! If you werenʼt greedy yourself, why did you come along? Did I force you?”

”You!” Shamed, he angrily attempted to strike.

”What?! Want to fight to the death? Come on, do it!”

No one nearby intervened in the conflict, choosing not to see.

Just a few, yet revealing the full range of human nature.

...

Lee Zhirui and Fu Chengguang, the culprits, didnʼt know about the other cultivatorsʼ reactions, but even if they knew, they wouldnʼt care.

Since they initiated the plot and chase, they couldnʼt expect only benefits without the risk of failure, right?

”Fellow Daoist, our harvest from the secret realm is already quite rich, I think we should stop venturing forth, find a safe place, and focus on cultivation and comprehending the laws of this realm.” Li Zhirui never forgot his primary objective.

”I think so too.” Fu Chengguang nodded in agreement.

Though regrettable not to continue exploring the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, as mentioned, their gains are already substantial, the biggest among those entering the secret realm.

So now their main task is quickly consuming the harvest, possibly staying longer unnoticed in the realm.

Everything canʼt be perfect, they are content as it is.
