Chapter 1267: Chapter 1102: Confrontation_2

Li Yunchang was responsible for reception, but when he saw the other party’s miserable appearance, the tattered vestment robe, and the many wounds, he couldn’t help but be taken aback and hurriedly asked, “I don’t know what brought you, Fellow Daoist, to such a state?”

“I beseech the main sect of the Li family to rescue Qingzhu Sect, otherwise the sect’s lineage will be severed!” The cultivator cried out in grief, eliciting pity from anyone who heard.

“Fellow Daoist, you speak too heavily, what has happened?”

Li Yunchang could not arrange for his clansmen to rescue Qingzhu Sect for no reason, even though the other party was an affiliate of the family.

“There are unexpectedly many demon cultivators lurking within the sect, and among them two are sect elders. The demon cultivators deceived and coerced a large number of loose cultivators, attacking the Mountain Protection Array at night in collusion from within and without.”

The elder spoke, kneeling in a grand gesture, head lowered touching the ground, and with a voice full of resentment and desolation, he said, “Many disciples were slaughtered by their blades, many spiritual objects were plundered like locusts, and now less than one-tenth of the disciples are alive!”

“Now everyone is hiding in the Scripture Pavilion, barely resisting the attacks of those demon and loose cultivators using the formation. I only managed to escape and come to the Li family for help while they were unprepared.”

The Scripture Pavilion, places like the Scripture Pavilion that store methods and classics, are the most important places for any power, with naturally strong defenses that are not easy to break, as most powers would design and set up a Mountain Protection Array connected to a Spirit Vein!

Only this mountain is not that mountain, the formation protects only this small Scripture Pavilion.

In addition, there will be many restrictions to ensure its safety through various means.

Li Yunchang scrutinized the cultivator, and for a moment, it was as if a great mountain rested on the cultivator’s back, the immense pressure causing him to lie flat on the ground, breaking out in cold sweat.

“You’re lying!”

After an indeterminate period, Li Yunchang suddenly spoke, with an inexplicably mysterious tone, “If it is as you say, the mountain gate had internal collusion, but even if those loose cultivators might gain an advantage temporarily, once you organize yourselves, they are no match.”

“Let alone being forced into the Scripture Pavilion, if it were so, how did you manage to escape?!”

“Most importantly, your injuries, although frightening to behold, only damaged the skin, and with your cultivation, it shouldn’t be difficult to stop the bleeding and recover, right?”

Apart from these flaws, a dignified Integration cultivator like him would not prostrate like this just to seek help.

Li Yunchang couldn’t discern the secrets hidden within the cultivator’s body, but it didn’t mean others lacked such ability.

Li Zhirui was hiding behind the screen in the main hall.

It was a coincidence; he came this time to collect purifying spiritual objects accumulated by the family over this period to refine the White Lotus Detoxification Pill.

Secondly, to hand over mature white lotus seeds grown in space during this period to be distributed by the Clan Leader.

The last, and most critical matter, was that a great calamity was imminent; the Li family should contract its territory!

Over the years, as the Li family’s power grew, the territory expanded continuously, especially after solving the Dafeng Dynasty, they acquired a lot of territory, with the farthest reaches nearly ten thousand miles from Mount Wanxian!

If danger occurred, even Li Zhirui himself couldn’t arrive in a short time.

Therefore, for such distant and remote regions, the Li family would abandon them entirely, retaining only the territory the Cloud Boat could reach within three hours.

This way, the Li family would lose a very large amount of territory, losing half would not be an exaggeration.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed quite a spectacle here.

“Damn! You found out! But beware, we will soon come for the Li family, and then the Li family will suffer the same fate as Qingzhu Sect!”

The person then attempted to commit suicide.

But as soon as he had the thought, Li Zhirui controlled him with divine sense, “Trying to kill yourself in front of me? Have you asked for my opinion?”

“You! Individual Immortal Li Zhirui! What are you doing here?!”

“This place is the Li family’s main hall, and I am one of them, why shouldn’t I be here?”

Li Zhirui sneered, rebuking, “There are fools who abandon immortality for the demonic path, but you are truly rare in this world!”

“Obediently remain within the family, serving as a whetstone for the clansmen!”

Having spoken, he planted a restriction within his body, then summoned a strong breeze, directly sending this person into the Spirit Realm for tempering.

“Ancestor Rui, Qingzhu Sect is likely already occupied by demon cultivators, should we send clansmen to eradicate these demon cultivators?” Li Yunchang asked worriedly.

Traveling under such circumstances, the natural disasters alone are dangerous, not to mention the demon cultivators inside.

But if the demon cultivators within Qingzhu Sect’s territory are not resolved, they will have a foothold in Shanhai State, from which demon cultivators can counterattack the cultivators.

“Just send the clansmen, I will protect them on the way.” Li Zhirui understood his concerns and expressed his intentions this way.

Of course, Li Zhirui’s purpose wasn’t limited to just this; he also wanted to see the cultivation level of the demon cultivators within Qingzhu Sect’s mountain gate and whether more, larger demon cultivators were hiding behind them.

He wanted to know how many demon cultivator moles were within Shanhai State, but no one could provide an accurate answer.

Because, at every moment, loose cultivators are enticed by the Demonic Tao, falling into it; these people roam the mountains and wilderness, hiding among loose cultivators, and common cultivators can’t discern any difference.

Soon, Li Yunchang organized a group of clansmen to head to Qingzhu Sect’s mountain gate to clear out the demon cultivators occupying there!

Li Zhirui chose not to reveal himself, concealing his form, following quietly behind them.

Until they reached Qingzhu Mountain, seeing the already corrupted mountain, the originally lush Spirit Bamboo Forest now shrouded in gray aura, showing a decayed, ruined atmosphere.

“If we came a few days later, the place would likely be soaked in the blood by this group of demon cultivators!” Li Honghai frowned deeply at the sight before him.

Beside him, Li Hongquan nodded, then suddenly, as if sensing something, quietly exclaimed, “Be careful, the demon cultivators have arrived!”

Both were Integration cultivators, but Li Hongquan had an innate divine ability to sense danger in advance, so he could warn the clansmen early when the demon cultivators first approached.

Hidden on the side, Li Zhirui looked at Li Hongquan with a hint of appreciation and scrutiny.

His innate divine ability could play a greater role on the battlefield!

For detecting the demon path’s actions, Li Hongquan was not slower than Li Zhirui, the Individual Immortal.

‘Looks like during the years I haven’t paid attention to the family, many excellent juniors have emerged.’ Li Zhirui thought to himself.

Li Hongquan, Li Honghai, Li Hongshan, and others were all like this!

“A bunch of ignorant bastards, daring to harm our Li family affiliates, today is your death day!” Li Honghai shouted, a towering two-headed, four-armed Dharma appearing behind him.

One head summoned a fierce wind, the other called for thunder, and the four arms each wielded a magic artifact, mercilessly striking at the demon cultivators.

“Hmph, this petty trick dares to shame itself!”

A Mahayana demon cultivator snorted coldly, directly charging into Li Honghai’s attack.

Bam!

The Dharma retreated several steps, faintly revealing some wounds, and Li Honghai, the master, turned pale instantly. The Dharma wasn’t just a means to combat enemies, but the foundation of cultivation, it couldn’t be damaged.

However, the demon cultivator was also slightly wounded, spurting a little blood.

Li Honghai, with Integration cultivation, managing to harm a Mahayana demon cultivator, even considering the opponent’s underestimation, was an impressive achievement.

“Damn! You’re courting death!”

“Kill!”

Both sides shouted for killing simultaneously; as soon as they clashed, the Li family immediately took the upper hand.

After all, they had the advantage of leisure and being atop the Cloud Boat, holding the high ground and protected by formations.
