Chapter 1420: Chapter 1179: Recovery

“What’s wrong? Is the battlefield situation unfavorable to our family?” Li Zhixuan asked curiously.

But in her view, there was no problem. The defense was still solid, and the cultivators hadn’t suffered significant casualties.

“Alas!”

Jiang Fengwu sighed upon hearing this and said helplessly, “Previously, with you and Zhirui guarding the family, we surpassed ordinary Individual Immortal cultivators, and the Sea Clan knows this. That’s why they dispatched more than fifty Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils to attack this place.”

Of these fifty Water Devils, more than thirty were specifically to deal with the Li family, while the rest targeted other Immortal Dao influences.

“But since you haven’t shown up, those Water Devils are wary that you might strike suddenly during a fierce battle, so they haven’t deployed their full force, which prevented major losses for the family.”

However, this can’t be hidden for long.

In fact, the Sea Clan has already sensed something and tested the waters once or twice. Once they confirm it, they definitely won’t be as careful as before!

At that time, the family will truly face danger.

If Li Zhixuan hadn’t arrived in time, Jiang Fengwu was already planning to abandon this sea area and return to the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area to consolidate defenses.

Since the Li family regained the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, Jiang Fengwu and all the family’s Array Masters deployed a Loose Immortal Grade Island Defense Array to protect the sea area, and stacked a smaller but more powerful Great Array on the frontline to resist the Water Devils.

As long as they retreat to the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, Jiang Fengwu is confident that relying on these two Great Arrays, plus the strength of the clansmen, they could completely fend off the Sea Clan.

But doing so would greatly disadvantage the family in the future.

Without the help of other Immortal Dao influences’ sea areas resisting the Water Devils’ daily attacks, the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area can’t peacefully cultivate and create large profits for the family.

So unless absolutely necessary, Jiang Fengwu doesn’t want to retreat.

Li Zhixuan quickly understood the battlefield situation and was also surprised by the Sea Clan’s unusual focus. She didn’t expect the Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils to be so apprehensive of her and Jiu.

Since that’s the case, she won’t rush to show herself, intending to give those Water Devils a huge surprise!

Li Zhixuan shared her idea, immediately gaining Jiang Fengwu’s agreement, who laughed, “This way, we can greatly intimidate that group of Water Devils, making them hesitant to appear easily.”

As long as two to three times the number of Individual Immortal Realm Water Devils don’t attack, this line of defense won’t be easily broken.

“So in the coming days, don’t reveal yourself and let the Water Devils test us.”

“Okay.”

After agreeing, Jiang Fengwu flew away, facing the Water Devils’ probes, she needed to prepare to minimize the clansmen’s casualties.

…

Not far in the deep seabed.

Thirty-plus Water Devils gathered here, discussing their next move.

“We’ve tested so many times and haven’t found Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan. Now, they must either be in secluded cultivation or training outside, so there’s no need for us to be so fearful!” A disgruntled Water Devil said.

During this time, they’ve been avoiding battle, hiding here, feeling utterly stifled! It would rather die at the hands of cultivators than continue hiding, while enduring the sarcastic ridicule from other Sea Clan members.

“Test one last time!”

The leading Water Devil was Mo Qiu, who had narrowly escaped from Li Zhirui and others several times.

It’s unclear whether it has some complex karma with the Li family, as every time the Sea Clan launched a major battle, it’s assigned to deal with the Li family.

However, precisely because of this, it acts with extreme caution, drawing dissatisfaction from other Water Devils.

“If those two still don’t show up this time, it means they’re indeed not at the Li family. Then you can do whatever you want, and I won’t restrict your actions anymore.” Mo Qiu said with a serious expression.

“Fine! You said it! Don’t find excuses to avoid battle and embarrass everyone,” another Water Devil immediately responded, confirming the plan.

The next day, they dispatched more than twenty Water Devils to target the Li family, fiercely attacking, making it tough for the clansmen to cope, and Jiang Fengwu clenched her teeth to strengthen the array’s defense to reduce casualties.

Two or three hours later, the Defensive Array became pothole-ridden, seemingly about to break any moment, while Jiang Fengwu, Da Qing, Xiaoqing, and others were exhausted, with their strength beginning to decline.

As for other clansmen, many were hastily recovering their Mana.

Seeing no sight of Li Zhirui or Li Zhixuan, those Water Devils concluded they were not present in the Li family and, observing the Li family members’ fatigue and Mana depletion, decided not to hold back for another chance, immediately notified the ten or so hidden clansmen in the seabed to go all out and strive to seize the sea area today!

But just when they let down their guard, Li Zhixuan, who had been hiding on the island, released her long-prepared killing strike.

While the Water Devils acted, she began gathering momentum, constantly brewing the killing intent in her heart, always looking for the right opportunity to strike.

Crack—

It was as if heaven and earth were split by this sword; a piercing sound echoed in the ears of every nearby creature, as if they heard the sound of mountains collapsing and raging waves crashing.
