Chapter 1282: Chapter 1110: Calm

Li Zhirui was not foolish; how could he not see that these two had a good relationship?

The conflict erupting before him was likely intended to draw him out, to personally confirm Li Zhirui’s strength.

As for whether they would take over Mount Wanxian upon discovering Li Zhirui’s relatively weak strength, that was certain!

However, Li Zhirui was quite curious about the origins of these two.

Currently, the Cave Abyss Sect is fighting on two fronts, dealing with the Demon Cultivators to the west and still battling the Sea Clan to the east. The situation is quite tense, so they shouldn’t be sending people to test the Li family.

After all, the Cave Abyss Sect could hardly open up a third battlefield, right? Even with their strength, it’s very easy to deal with the Li family, but not right now.

Besides, even if they took Mount Wanxian, what use would it be to the Cave Abyss Sect?

The two locations are tens of thousands of miles apart, such a vast distance, it is utterly impossible to manage both places simultaneously, and it would, in contrast, expose a huge vulnerability to the Demon Cultivators.

“Could it be that the Cave Abyss Sect is deliberately creating a ruse, ambushing the Demon Cultivators?”

But Li Zhirui quickly dismissed this speculation.

Because this approach would have little effect.

At most, it would only trap and kill a few Individual Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators, which would not improve the situation facing the Cave Abyss Sect at present.

“Alas!”

Thinking of the Cave Abyss Sect, Li Zhirui couldn’t help but sigh, because this incredibly massive and terrifyingly powerful sect was currently in a less-than-optimistic situation.

If something happened to it, then a vast region in the northeastern East Continent and northwestern East Sea would fall into the hands of the Demonic Tao and the Sea Clan!

At that time, if the Li family didn’t want to be annihilated, they would have to become strays, fleeing this place and starting again elsewhere.

With the Minor Thousand World at hand, Li Zhirui could actually save many clan members and lead them to escape safely.

Moreover, he wouldn’t have to worry about revealing the existence of the space, since the clan members all knew that after he broke through to the Immortal Realm, he had a Minor Thousand World.

Speaking of which, Li Zhirui found it very strange.

The location of the Cave Abyss Sect doesn’t border the Demonic Tao at all; it’s even separated by the entire Immortal Tao East Continent. So why did the Demonic Tao choose it as a target?

According to the various information the Li family had gathered recently, other places also had Demon Cultivators rampaging, but only the Cave Abyss Sect faced an army invasion!

Even stranger, the other Immortal Realm forces not only didn’t stop it, but also didn’t send assistance, completely observing as the Cave Abyss Sect and the Demonic Tao fought desperately.

It even seemed from some reports that the Immortal Realm forces encountered by the Demonic Tao army didn’t intervene, as if they were allowing it to happen.

Li Zhirui wasn’t concerned about what secrets might exist within; he just wanted to lead his clan members safely through this calamity. But he had no choice, as the Li family was within this area, even if only at the edge.

“Perhaps, those two just left know something?” Li Zhirui muttered.

Since they weren’t cultivators from the Cave Abyss Sect, they could only have come from elsewhere, because among the other forces near the Li family, there was no second Immortal Realm Great Ability born.

And, in the explosion of great calamities and constant battles, suddenly venturing into this far, unfamiliar area was really too strange.

Li Zhirui now somewhat regretted not capturing those two for questioning.

Meanwhile, Xu Shenzhang and Jiang He were also quite relieved.

“Phew!”

Seeing no one pursuing them from behind, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “Senior brother, who would have thought that the strength of that Individual Immortal from the Li family was so terrifying, he might even rival a Human Immortal Great Ability, right?”

“I don’t know. After all, I’ve never encountered it, but I think it’s still not as strong.”

Xu Shenzhang frowned and said, “Junior brother, we barely managed to learn from a Treasure Map that there is an Ancient Times relic nearby. I’m really not willing to just leave like this!”

They couldn’t pinpoint the exact location of the relic, let alone, given the changes over time and landscape, it was even more uncertain.

They only knew it was roughly in this area.

And this area spans about ten thousand miles in width, vast!

They felt the west was unlikely, as there had never been reports of any powerful cultivators or forces there; the eastern seas were also unsettled, so they had to temporarily delay.

The south is where the Cave Abyss Sect is, and they, as fellow sect members, could not provoke it, much less at present where it had become a bloody and terrifying battlefield.

So, taking everything into account, they could only explore to the north.

And just right here, there was only one family recently becoming an Immortal Realm force. With their senior and junior brother’s strength, they might take this place!

Especially since they had also learned that the formidable Sword Cultivator was not present at Mount Wanxian, with only two new Individual Immortals overseeing the place.

But as things stand now, the Li family was equally not to be trifled with, not something they could handle.

“What do you think we should do, senior brother?” Jiang He asked directly.

“Return to the sect and invite one or two senior and junior brothers to come and assist!” Xu Shenzhang said through gritted teeth.

If he could, he wouldn’t want to share the benefits with others at all; he had even planned that after obtaining the treasures from the relic, he would deal with Jiang He and take all the treasures for himself!

But now the problem was that the two of them were simply not strong enough, so to take down the Li family, they had to seek external assistance.

However, in doing so, Xu Shenzhang had far less confidence in monopolizing the treasures.

After all, the possibility of scheming against one person was not small, but if it was two people, the difficulty would instantly increase dramatically!
