Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2272 - 1605: High-Spirited

Like Sky Snow Mountain and Bibo Mansion, wanting to avoid potential trouble by pledging allegiance and surrendering to the Tongtian Sect, Li Qiankun could understand.

But why would the Spirit Soul Sect do this?

However, he quickly understood, because the Spirit Soul Sect’s territory was stuck between the three of them!

Once the Tongtian Sect annexed Sky Snow Mountain and Bibo Mansion, they would inevitably face such a situation!

Moreover, Li Qiankun noticed the other two Heavenly Immortals just now; after hearing what the Sect Leader said, they subconsciously looked at the Heavenly Immortal from the Spirit Soul Sect with expressions of luck and gratitude.

’Could it be that these two families agreed to submit to the Sect due to the persuasion from the Spirit Soul Sect?’ he couldn’t help but think.

If this was true, then they were indeed nimble and wise.

”Senior! We are willing to serve your Sect faithfully! Please allow it,” the Heavenly Immortal from the Spirit Soul Sect, without hesitation, bowed again, humbly pleading.

”Please, Senior, give us a chance!” The other two Heavenly Immortals suddenly became alert and quickly followed.

Li Zhirui looked them over for a moment, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes. It was now clear that these three families were led by the Spirit Soul Sect.

”Regarding previous matters, the Tongtian Sect needs to establish its might. Besides your three families, which force is most suitable for an attack?”

Killing the chicken to scare the monkey!

Such thoughts immediately arose in everyone’s mind, and their expressions became more solemn and cautious.

Apart from that, there was more joy and excitement in their hearts.

Because Li Zhirui’s words just now clearly indicated that the Tongtian Sect was willing to accept them as vassals, meaning their future crises would also dissipate!

Facing the main Sect’s first order, they all wanted to perform well and demonstrate their value.

”Reporting to the senior, I think Yuanmu Gate is very suitable.”

The Heavenly Immortal from the Spirit Soul Sect thought for a moment and was the first to speak: ”First, Yuanmu Gate is not too far from the Supreme Ancestor. After defeating it, whether directly controlling it or temporarily using a governance method, at least this place can be taken first.”

”Secondly, the Yuanmu Gate’s inheritance is not adept at attacking; its disciples are generally weak, making it easier to break through its Mountain Gate.”

Although Li Zhirui didn’t usually handle Sect affairs, he had a basic understanding of the situations of these eight forces, and this person’s reasoning was indeed very sensible.

”Indeed, Yuanmu Gate’s strength is relatively weak; it’s a very good target for attack.”

”As long as the senior speaks, we are willing to be the vanguard to clear the danger for the Supreme Ancestor.”

The other two Heavenly Immortals couldn’t think of a better target, so they could only echo in agreement, expressing their loyalty.

However, the purpose of the Tongtian Sect’s action this time was to resolve its own causality; establishing might was just incidental, so they didn’t need their help.

If they helped, it would actually be an added burden to the Li family.

”No need.”

Li Zhirui directly rejected them, saying, ”In the great catastrophe, you should first think of a way to survive it; speak of other matters later.”

It’s too early to talk about allegiance. In the middle of a great catastrophe, who knows what may happen. It might be fine one day but wiped out the next!

Even Mystic Immortal Cultivators don’t have absolute confidence in surviving a great catastrophe.

Perhaps only eternal Golden Immortals need not fear the catastrophe.

So it’s better to wait until the catastrophe passes and then discuss how to worship and what kind of protection is needed.

Of course, there’s also the fact that the Tongtian Sect is not yet fully prepared; after all, taking in three old Heavenly Immortal forces as vassals at once also brings pressure to the Tongtian Sect.

Not to mention, taking in three vassals would require dispatching disciples to guard outside, numbering no less than a thousand!

And they need to have a certain realm and strength, not just for the Tongtian Sect’s dignity, but because they need to protect themselves while stationed outside.

At the same time, this period can also be considered as a test for them!

Only after passing it would they truly become vassals of the Tongtian Sect.

”Alright, then we won’t disturb the senior any longer.”

After saying this, the Heavenly Immortal from the Spirit Soul Sect motioned for the others to follow him, then left Ascension Mountain under the lead of an Elder.

On this road, they saw from a distance thousands of cultivators gathered, and although their strength was not particularly formidable, their confidence and high morale made them shiver involuntarily.

They never doubted the truth of Li Zhirui’s words; as high-ranking Profound Immortals, there was simply no need to deceive them in such trivial matters.

But upon witnessing so many cultivators ready to act, thinking about the outcome if they had arrived a fraction later, they seemed to see the Mountain Gate engulfed in flames, countless disciples shouting and wailing in terror.

For a moment, they stopped in mid-air.

Luckily, they quickly sorted out their complex mental states, returned to normal, and left Ascension Mountain along with the crowd.

”Thank you very much, Fellow Daoists; if not for your persuasion, we wouldn’t have come to Ascension Mountain, and most importantly, we would have avoided disaster,” said a Heavenly Immortal from Sky Snow Mountain gratefully.

Truly! If not for their persuasion and directly pulling everyone along, racing to Ascension Mountain, had anything gone wrong in this process, the unspeakable calamity the two families faced would have been unimaginable!

”Fellow Daoist is too polite; from now on, as vassals under the Tongtian Sect, we should harmonize and develop together.”
