Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1823 - 1380: Capture Alive (2)
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
This is also the primary task and goal for the two of them right now; for this, everything else can be set aside.
However, this action is definitely worthwhile!
Just the improvement in cultivation is already quite satisfying, not to mention they have gained considerable merit.
In their casual chat, they have entered the Sun and Moon Divine Domain and soon returned to their respective cave mansions to go into seclusion and digest the various gains this time.
...
"Those damn divines, if not for them meddling, things wouldn’t have developed like this."
The situation was clearly favorable to the Demonic Tao, but then suddenly took a downturn, and the reason lies in the Divine Path, especially with Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo.
If not for the two of them ruining the situation, the Demonic Tao might have occupied many territories by now, and wouldn’t be worrying about retaliation from other factions.
But no matter how much they resent the Divine Path, the demon cultivators won’t act now, having already offended three factions; if they provoke the Divine Path again, even if the Demonic Tao doesn’t face annihilation, it will suffer significant casualties and attacks.
"There’s another power that has been overlooked by everyone! That is the Li family who first discovered the flaw in the demonic qi! It’s also because of the Li family that the two Star Lords descended, ultimately finding a time-saving and efficient method."
"Exactly! It’s that Li family! We can’t deal with other powers now, but can’t we handle a newly emerged Heavenly Immortal power?"
They quickly reached a decision, planning to first collect some interest from the Li family.
Immediately, they contacted the demon cultivators hidden near the Li family using secret techniques, ordering them all to launch an attack on the Li family, to give them a profound lesson!
If they can directly eliminate the Li family, that would be even better.
On the other side.
No one in the Li family could have imagined that the Demonic Tao would target their family, and the Li family also had matters to attend to.
Due to various pollution incidents, Shanhai State became flooded with too many loose cultivators, resulting in disorder in various areas, frequently causing ambushes and assaults on loose cultivators.
This situation that harms the family’s image and reputation certainly could not be ignored by the Li family, who actively dispatched many family members, hoping Shanhai State could soon return to its former peace and safety, yet unbeknownst to them, danger was silently approaching!
One day, a patrol from the Li family was suddenly enveloped by a dark light and soon lost their lives; not even the value of their corpses was spared, being drained until they were reduced to dried remains!
Moreover, similar scenes were occurring elsewhere as well.
Meanwhile, the ancestral hall on Mount Wanxian, where all the life tokens of the family members are kept, suddenly emitted some disturbance.
The guardian went in and saw dozens of life tokens shattered; he immediately realized something significant had happened!
He quickly used a communication talisman to inform Clan Leader Li Liangxiang, then personally set off to bring the names of the family members whose life tokens shattered.
"The recent days in Shanhai State have been relatively calm, how could such a major incident suddenly occur?" Li Liangxiang frowned as he read the information and immediately called the elders to discuss how to resolve the matter.
At this moment, the family member guarding the life tokens arrived, recorded the names of the fallen family members into the jade slip, handed it to Li Liangxiang, and quickly returned.
Because he feared more family members might fall soon!
"Elders, what are your opinions on this matter?" Li Liangxiang put down the jade slip, his face solemn as he questioned.
"It must be those unruly loose cultivators, in my opinion, we should expel more of them,"
The issue of how many loose cultivators Shanhai State could accommodate had been debated among them, but ultimately they chose to accommodate more loose cultivators, to profit off them.
However, now that such a vile incident has occurred, there might be a shift.
Yet before they can decide on a solution, another communication talisman arrives, delivering bad news that more family members have suddenly fallen!
"Damn it!"
Furious, Li Liangxiang gripped the jade slip tightly and slammed it onto the ground, "No matter who you are, you will pay a painful price for your foolish actions!"
"Immediately gather the family members to form teams of a hundred, led by one Human Immortal or three Individual Immortals, to patrol the entire Shanhai State!"
Yet the real killing moves remain hidden—Li Mingyao and Xiaoqing are the two.
As the deities native to Shanhai State, their divine domains are here, enabling them to instantly detect where the action is and swiftly catch the perpetrators.
The adjustments and movements of the Li family were soon noticed by those demon cultivators.
"Ha! Do they think having enough people on patrol will keep them safe?" scoffed a demon cultivator at the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Demonic Tao, to teach the Li family a lesson, had gathered many demon cultivators from near and far, including several Earth Immortals!
So, with the Heavenly Immortals not stepping in, he was confident for a reason.
But unexpectedly, another situation unfolded!
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; this demon cultivator became the mantis thinking he was formidable.
While he attacked a group of Li family cultivators, Xiaoqing arrived at the battlefield in no time.
"Demon cultivator?! Seeking death!"
Xiaoqing struck in anger, instantly creating a terrifying gale, with powerful tearing forces causing small cracks in the surrounding space, encircling the demon cultivator without giving him any chance to escape.
"Not good! Fell into a trap!"
Seeing the situation, the demon cultivator understood, but realized too late.
Surrounded by the gale, all retreat routes blocked, he could only fight Xiaoqing desperately to survive!
Yet if his strength reached the late-stage Earth Immortal, he wouldn’t have been sent to the East Continent.
Therefore, from the start, the battle’s outcome was destined.
Despite the demon cultivator’s best efforts, he was no match for Xiaoqing, barely managing to break through the first layer of wind Xiaoqing set.
Moreover, if not for Xiaoqing keeping him alive for interrogation, which held her back slightly, the battle would have ended long ago.
But despite this, the demon cultivator didn’t last long and was swiftly captured by Xiaoqing, who immediately sealed his dantian and sea of consciousness.
"Hmph! How dare you vile scoundrels cause chaos on my Li family’s territory!" He infused a small wind blade into the demon’s body, continuously tormenting him.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, another demon cultivator took the bait and was captured alive by Li Mingyao.
The demons still hiding didn’t realize they’re about to face a reversal of roles!
