Chapter 1387: Chapter 1162: Breaking the Situation_2
âYes, if we let the Cave Abyss Sect continue like this, the losses to the family will be too great!â
âWhy donât we also learn from the Cave Abyss Sect and stir things up in the Cave Abyss State, so they donât have the energy to manage these affairs.â
As soon as this was said, several people immediately voiced their opposition.
âThis plan wonât work! Itâs too risky. If we get caught, it would tear our facades, which is absolutely unacceptable for the family.â
âThatâs right, we shouldnât take such risks.â
Several more cautious family members voiced their agreement.
âThen tell me, how should we deal with the worsening situation? Many loose cultivators have already fled the family territory due to the destruction of the Immortal City and the Marketplace.â
The family member who first proposed taking risks said, âMoreover, if we canât resolve this situation quickly, even more loose cultivators might flee. Even if we manage to stabilize things, the familyâs profits will sharply decline due to too many fleeing cultivators.â
âAnd afterward, it might be very difficult to attract back those loose cultivators. In this regard, the familyâs losses might not be small.â
âHave you ever thought that capturing Cang Song would make the other loose cultivators fear for their safety and not dare to act?â
As soon as this was said, the room fell silent.
They really hadnât considered this aspect because they believed it was impossible for the Cave Abyss Sect to let them retreat easily; they would certainly use every talent.
âShall we just observe the actions of those loose cultivators next and then consider other issues?â
âOkay.â
They couldnât think of any other solutions at the moment.
But unexpectedly, those loose cultivators really disappeared, as if they vanished completely, which made the Li family breathe a sigh of relief.
But the Cave Abyss Sect had more tricks up their sleeve.
Just half a month later, several individual immortals appeared in the western part of Shanhai State, openly dividing a large territory and no longer submitting to the Li family.
They practically divided the entire 3,000-mile territory in the westernmost part of Shanhai State, causing the Li familyâs luck to plummet immediately.
Instantly, Jiang Fengwu and others realized that the Cave Abyss Sect was behind this disruption.
âThose reckless loose cultivators, we must teach them a lesson this time!â Xiaoqing shouted angrily, eager to immediately strike down those loose cultivators.
But he hated the Cave Abyss Sect the most, yet the disparity in strength between both sides was too great. Even if he wanted revenge, he couldnât achieve it, making him increasingly frustrated and depressed.
âNo matter what, we absolutely cannot let this happen! We must use thunderous means to scare others, making them feel afraid.â
Everyone agreed with this statement and made the decision at the fastest speed, with the four individual immortals, Qingxuan, Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Mu Yuan, all taking action.
In Mount Wanxian, only Jiang Fengwu and the undercover Li Mingyao remained to guard it.
No time to waste, the four of them set off on a cloud boat that night, heading straight for the west with a group of family members.
The next day, Li Mingyao received a Communication Talisman from the Cave Abyss Sect, claiming to offer him a great opportunity.
âHmph!â
Without much thought, Li Mingyao knew what they were planning, but due to his role and wanting to learn more inside information, he used a Sound Transmission Talisman to inform the family before opening the entrance at the mountainâs base where his true body was located.
âHonorable God, you, the great ruler, can now only remain confined here. Are you willing to accept this? Havenât you thought about breaking free and walking freely?â
Upon seeing him, the cultivator tried to intimidate him with words to facilitate the upcoming negotiations.
Outsiders believed that Li Mingyao stayed here without further movements due to fear of the Li familyâs strength. In actuality, it was because his true form was too large, and any action would undeniably cause tremors, so he preferred not to move.
Li Mingyaoâs eyes flickered with a hint of darkness as he asked, âSo, how do you want me to cooperate? And what benefits are you offering?â
Unexpectedly, Li Mingyao was so direct that the cultivator paused for a moment, feeling a surge of joy, as this made completing his task easier.
âHonorable God only needs to demonstrate divine power at that cliff to the east in five days. By then, with the Li family facing a strong enemy, they wonât be able to deal with you. After itâs done, the Li familyâs strength will severely decline, and you wonât be confined here anymore.â
âRegarding the fee for inviting you to take action, how about this Mountain Heart?â
Li Mingyaoâs heart tightened. He hadnât expected the Cave Abyss Sectâs move to be aimed at causing such a severe decline in the familyâs strength that they might even destroy the family if the opportunity arose.
Moreover, considering that Qingxuan and others had just left the family land, this was clearly the Cave Abyss Sectâs scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
However, even if they knew in advance, the Li family would still make the same choice. There was no way around it. The Li family couldnât let that 3,000-mile territory fall into the hands of others.
Especially since this is an extremely dangerous signal!
Because if the Li family didnât use thunderous means to resolve those loose cultivators and strongly deter the world, imitation would surely occur in remote areas.
âWhy wait five days to act? I want to resolve the Li family immediately.â Li Mingyao growled angrily, revealing a hint of urgency while secretly interrogating more information.
âThe sect has convinced the forces over the sea to join together and drive the Li family from the near seas.â To bolster Li Mingyaoâs confidence, a bit of information was revealed.
âGood! I agree!â
Hearing this, Li Mingyao no longer hesitated, nor did he dare to delve deeper into the inside information, fearing to reveal any flaws that might alert the Cave Abyss Sect.
After sending him away, Li Mingyao immediately informed Jiang Fengwu of this through his Body Separation.
âIt seems the Cave Abyss Sect intends to accomplish their purpose in one strike, using this method to weaken the Li familyâs strength, removing them as a threat.â
Jiang Fengwuâs expression was very unpleasant, but he also became increasingly calm, beginning to consider various aspects of the issues.
âThe Cave Abyss Sectâs action this time isnât aimed at us individual immortals but those family members who havenât broken through yet, causing a situation where thereâs no succession. For a long time to come, no new individual immortal may emerge.â
After contemplating for a long time, Jiang Fengwu arrived at this speculation, which further darkened both their faces.
Because if the Cave Abyss Sectâs plan succeeded, the Li familyâs power inheritance would have a gap, just as they predicted!
âWhat should we do now? The Spirit Ancestors are on their way, maybe using a few Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Talismans can inform them of this.â
Jiang Fengwuâs mouth revealed a hint of bitterness, saying, âBut who sits guard over the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area?â
Under such circumstances, she absolutely could not leave Mount Wanxian because only with her there could the Mountain Protection Arrayâs full power be unleashed.
âIâll go.â
An unexpected voice suddenly echoed.
âZhirui/Ancestor Rui!â
The two called out joyfully, not expecting Li Zhirui, who was in closed cultivation, to emerge at this time.
âHow did you break through and come out?â
They had indeed thought just now about going to knock on the gate and interrupt his cultivation, but unexpectedly Li Zhirui came out himself.
âWhile in closed cultivation, a sudden sensation of unease arose, making me realize that something significant might be happening outside, so I decisively ended my retreat, fortunately before the most dangerous moment came.â
Li Zhiruiâs expression became solemn as he said, âI can block the forces attacking from the sea area to the best of my ability to protect the actions of our family members, but I cannot let the Cave Abyss Sect lead us by the nose. We must change the passive situation, so I plan to withdraw all family members from the sea area, temporarily letting those forces occupy it.â
âAnd what you need to do is fully protect Mount Wanxian and exhaust every effort to consolidate our strength, leaving no opportunity for the Cave Abyss Sect.â
Jiang Fengwu had a sudden thought and asked, âAre you planning to go to the Cave Abyss State to find an opportunity for disruption? So that the Cave Abyss Sect will be powerless?â
âThatâs right, we mustnât let this happen at all costs! We must use thunderous means to intimidate others and instill fear in them.â Harassment â
