Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 1889 - 1413: Pending Repair (2)
Previously on Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan...
Opting for the final choice, Li Zhirui felt no rush to return home just yet, so he decided to travel leisurely, savoring the beautiful views en route.
As departure loomed at dawn the following day, he simply picked a nearby inn within the city for an overnight rest.
The evening slipped by in silence.
Only after the heavens had fully lightened did Li Zhirui gradually awaken. During the previous night, he skipped formal cultivation, focusing instead on refining his mana.
With his session complete, he made his way to the pier to catch the upcoming spirit boat bound for Jiang Country, situated beyond the vast Great Marsh.
Before much time elapsed, a vessel rising roughly two levels tall docked, accommodating four hundred and sixty passengers in total, Li Zhirui among them.
Every individual's clothing radiated opulence and high status, making it obvious they were embarking on a leisurely excursion to Qi Country.
Yet Li Zhirui merely cast a quick look before averting his eyes; these folks trod a different road from his own—why bother measuring up?
Moreover, should he desire such material riches, acquiring them would pose no challenge at all.
Thus, right after stepping on board, he proceeded directly to his assigned quarters.
Bang bang bang——
To his surprise, shortly thereafter, heavy knocks echoed against his door.
Even before Li Zhirui could react, a rude bellow erupted from beyond the entrance: "Hey! You in there, get out! This young master wants your room—scram now!"
At these words, a deep furrow creased his brow, irritation surging within him. He paused, expecting intervention, but none came as the pounding intensified.
His frustration mounting, Li Zhirui pondered the incompetence of the ship's staff, letting this fool wreak havoc without restraint!
"Scram!"
His roar boomed like cracking thunder, so terrifying the knocker that he nearly soiled himself, clenching his thighs in panic, though a subtle foul odor still wafted out.
The attending guards and the pair of courtesans nestled against him also detected the unpleasant scent.
Though mindful of his rank and pride, they restrained any overt reaction, but subtle hints of disgust slipped through.
The man himself soon caught the smell clinging to him, his initial terror morphing into humiliated fury!
At first, Li Zhirui believed this rebuke would suffice to make the intruder recognize his folly and slink off.
But to his astonishment, mere instants later, the assaults on the door turned more violent, with punches and kicks raining down amid a torrent of filthy invectives.
"Seeking death!"
He had no intention of tangling with an idiot at first, yet the insults proved too vile, slandering not just him but his kin and allies as well.
With a flick of his finger, a glimmer of spiritual light materialized, shaping into an elongated whip that cracked savagely across the mortal's form.
"Ah ah ah——"
No marks marred his skin, but agony tore through him relentlessly, eliciting endless howls and shrieks.
The onlookers—guards and women alike—appeared utterly stunned, devoid of any urge to retaliate.
They lingered in dazed stillness until reinforcements showed up, snapping them back to reality.
Having beheld such an eerie technique, none dared linger, all bolting away in frantic terror.
Li Zhirui turned his attention elsewhere, spending the leftover hours refining his mana or perusing texts.
Owing to his decisive handling, the voyage proceeded in remarkable peace, free of further disturbances, and they reached Jiang Country without incident.
"Hmm?"
Right as Li Zhirui prepared to disembark, a subtle ripple in space caught his senses, causing him to halt and scan the area for its origin.
Quickly, he locked onto it—a tear in the fabric of space hovering over the Great Marsh!
This fissure continued to widen gradually, showing no signs of halting.
"A Secret Realm?"
Li Zhirui arched his brows faintly, taken aback by stumbling upon a nascent Secret Realm during his return journey.
Should circumstances permit, venturing inside for discovery might prove worthwhile.
He first assumed it was merely the birth of a Secret Realm, but a nearer examination revealed the issue ran deeper than anticipated!
…
In the midst of the Void Chaos, echoes of intense battle rang out from some hidden nook.
