Chapter 787 - 787 793 Resolution

Chapter 787: Chapter 793: Resolution Chapter 787: Chapter 793: Resolution “Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you could pay a visit to Luofu Mountain,” Yu Xue suddenly approached Li Zhirui before entering the Ascension Void Array, extending a sincere invitation. “When that time comes, I’ll introduce you to a senior brother whose Alchemy Dao skills are far beyond mine.”

“All right, if I’m free, I will definitely visit, and you are also welcome to come and see the vastness of the Boundless Sea,” Li Zhirui said.

“Senior Brother, we’re leaving!” someone called out from not too far away.

“I look forward to our next meeting! Farewell!”

After walking a few steps, Yu Xue suddenly turned around and said, “Safe travels!”

“Of course! I wish you fair winds as well,” Li Zhirui responded with a radiant smile.

Having an ordinary background and widely regarded as the least talented amongst all cultivators, and now that his injuries had fully healed, Zhirui was one of the last to leave for the Profound Origin Realm.

By the time his turn came, it was already the second day, and only about twenty cultivators remained in the Sky Palace.

Among them, several were prepared to directly venture into The Void for training and treasure hunting; some stayed behind to maintain the Formation as Divine Transformations.

In other words, Li Zhirui was part of the last group of cultivators returning to the Profound Origin Realm.

After a dizzying journey, Li Zhirui’s feet finally touched the soil of the land he hadn’t seen for over a decade!

When he returned, there were no other cultivators nearby; everyone had already left.

Li Zhirui didn’t linger. He took out a small black orb, cast a spell to confirm something, and then transformed into a rainbow light, flying towards the east.

—

“Don’t tell me you don’t want to restore your honor? Why are you still following us?” A Demon Cultivator, seeing Sudanli not taking any action and looking at him with a desire for spectacle, asked.

“Sudanli, don’t bring shame on the Su Family!”

“Could it be you’re truly afraid of that cultivator? If that’s the case, then it’s best to forget about it.”

His kin made mocking and sarcastic remarks, not caring about Sudanli’s safety at all.

In their view, even if Sudanli truly lost, he could just flee to save his life. If that were the case, he would have no status in the family from then on!

Until he proved himself again, Sudanli would only receive the most basic cultivation resources, with the surplus naturally allocated to others.

But they never considered the possibility of Sudanli dying by Li Zhirui’s hand.

“Who said that! I’m just thinking about how to shake off the cultivator’s surveillance, okay?!” Sudanli was in turmoil inside, unsure whether to seek revenge.

If he didn’t go, he would become a laughingstock in the Demonic Tao; but if he went, the constant unease in his heart lingered. If he lost, it would be even more humiliating.

“Don’t worry, we’ll help you.”

Before Sudanli could object, with the Demon Cultivators’ concealment, he vanished without a trace.

Just then, Li Zhirui arrived back in the Profound Origin Realm.

Immediately, the Mother Worm in Sudanli’s hand reacted, confirming the direction of his departure.

“I must deal with him!” Sudanli resolved.

Li Zhirui had become a thorn in Sudanli’s side. He had to either persuade himself to let go of this matter completely or find a way to resolve it. Otherwise, it would eventually become an obstacle in his path of cultivation or even a Heart Demon.

Once determined, Sudanli flew towards the direction sensed by the Mother Worm.

Unobstructed on his journey, it took just a month or two for Li Zhirui to leave the Central Region and enter the Eastern Region Boundary.

“I was thinking if you didn’t come to find me, I’d have to turn around and look for you.”

Facing an empty space, Li Zhirui shouted, “Come out, I’ve known about you for a long time.”

Because of the contract, he had not exposed Sudanli’s tracking in the Central Region but had been waiting until now.

As for turning back to find Sudanli, it was true!

Li Zhirui had collected the corpses of the black worms he had encountered in the Sky Palace, extracting Sudanli’s scent from them to locate his position.

“Thinking I was bluffing you?”

Li Zhirui casually threw a spell towards the place where Sudanli was hiding.

Bang!

“Impressive move! When did you discover me?” Sudanli thought solemnly, ready to flee at the slightest sign of danger.

Having obtained those two Spirit Vines, Li Zhirui was brimming with confidence. He smiled and said, “I noticed you from the very beginning. To be honest, your tracking skills are really poor.”

“Too bad, you won’t have the chance to learn anymore!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than countless vines shot up into the sky, rapidly interweaving into a cage to trap Sudanli, leaving him no chance to escape.

A few Bloodfire Thorn Vines sought to catch him off guard, for if they managed to wound Sudanli, the outcome of this battle would be decided.

Regrettably, he was very perceptive and instantly raised his defenses, blocking the attack from reaching him.

“Fifth-order Spirit Vines?!”

Sudanli cried out incredulously, “Impossible! How could the Spirit Vines mature in just a little over a month?”

After all, without maturity, there would not be so many Spirit Seeds.

“Do you have some kind of treasure in your hands?! There must be one!” With this thought, a strong greed surfaced in Sudanli’s eyes, sweeping away any previous thoughts of escape.

A treasure capable of maturing fifth-order Spirit Seeds within a month would be priceless. If he could get his hands on it, his path forward would surely be much smoother!

“Hand over the treasure, and I’ll spare your life!”

Upon hearing Sudanli’s grandiloquent remarks, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you see the situation you’re in now?”

As he spoke, several more vines ripped out of the ground, their slender bodies sharply lashing at his Defensive Spiritual Light, causing it to violently quiver as if it were about to shatter any moment.

The exceptionally sturdy Broken Gold Starvine was not only good for defense, but its offensive capabilities were also quite impressive, especially adept at breaking defenses.

Bang!

The whistling Broken Gold Starvine needed just two strikes to break through Sudanli’s defense. Hundreds of Bloodfire Thorn Vines swarmed up, leaving many scars on his body in an instant.

“An empty show of strength, intimidating to look at, but in reality, these fifth-order Spirit Vines are just for show!”

However, the smirk on Sudanli’s face only lasted a moment before it froze. A burning, intense, unbearable sensation of scalding enveloped his entire being.

“This vine is poisonous!”

Even after swallowing several Precious Pills to counteract poison, he still couldn’t relieve the burning sensation from his blood.

The initially composed expression on his face collapsed suddenly.

His entire body turned red like a cooked shrimp, writhing and contorting in agony on the ground, utterly devoid of any dignity befitting one who had undergone Divine Transformation.

This left a deep impression of the fiery poison of the Bloodfire Thorn Vine on Li Zhirui.

“Kill me! Quickly, kill me!”

Li Zhirui, looking down from above, said, “If I personally take action, wouldn’t I be falling into your trap?”

——

In the Western Domain, the Demon Cultivator Su Family.

“Sudanli’s Life Token has shattered!”

“What?!”

“Did he really die at the hands of that newly advanced cultivator?”

Everyone found it unbelievable.

“Don’t know. The Life Token retrospection shows he was eaten by wild beasts.”

“It seems that person was well-prepared.”

“What do we do now? We don’t even know who the murderer is.”

“Given the family’s current situation, we can only suppress this matter for now and resolve it later.”
