Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2137 1538: Suspicion (Part 2)

"Are you perhaps too confident? Why do you believe that the recent attack has already killed him?" He looked at them with an expression as if they were fools, a slight mocking smile on his face further ridiculing them.

"If you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you're courting death yourself, we'll fulfill your wish!"

With that, they were about to act, preparing to unleash their divine power.

But faster than them was Fu Chengguang's attack!

With just a seemingly simple thunderbolt, he directly blasted those cultivators away; not a single one could withstand it.

With such strength, they still dare to boast so arrogantly.

As for the only Earth Immortal, Fang Weidong, it seemed he noticed something peculiar from the earlier move. His face was somewhat grim; these two may still be Human Immortal cultivators, but they possess Earth Immortal strength!

Because his strength far exceeded the others, that's why the earlier attack didn't cause him any harm.

Then what about this one?

Fang Weidong shifted his gaze to Li Zhirui, and immediately this question arose in his heart.

He already had an answer, though, because the way these two interacted was more like companions or fellow Daoists, not like a master and servant.

And if their strengths weren't at the same level, normally they wouldn't interact in such a manner.

Thinking of this, Fang Weidong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Situations where one's strength surpasses a cultivation realm by such a large margin are extremely rare.

Yet today, he encountered two such individuals!

What initially seemed to be a surefire win now faced enormous changes, and with one careless move, he might even end up trapped here.

Fang Weidong felt a twinge of regret, but who could have predicted such an exceptionally rare situation? They could only say their luck was bad.

If it weren't for the fact that escaping alone wouldn't look good, disappointing the other disciples and the sect, he would have already left without considering how to capture these two.

Moreover, if this really happened and someone with ulterior motives exploited it, it would bring huge troubles to his sect.

But continuing to fight these two would not only be pointless, but might actually endanger himself.

So the best plan was to leave with most of the people!

Only this way could he save both his own and the sect's face, while also preserving his own life.

Having made this decision, Fang Weidong silently prepared a way to escape, ready to unleash the mana stored within him, and his divine power began to operate, waiting for the right moment to take most of the disciples and leave.

Unfortunately, his every move fell into Li Zhirui's eyes.

With a fleeting thought, he appeared beside him, smiling, "Sir, you'd better stay put and not try any tricks, otherwise don't blame me for not holding back."

His sudden appearance gave Fang Weidong a startle, his expression changed drastically, and even his breath paused for a moment. When he came to his senses, his heart was already filled with despair.

Because he realized he still underestimated the strength of these two!

Their strength far exceeded that of regular Earth Immortals. He didn't even know how the other approached him. Had the other not spoken first, he wouldn't have noticed someone was by his side!

Yet Fang Weidong couldn't figure out how these two Human Immortal Perfect Cultivators could possibly hold their own against a newly ascended Earth Immortal, which was rare, but not unheard of for such talents to exist.

But under such circumstances, for their power to advance further was simply baffling!

And logically, such individuals would be renowned, known across the world; however, before this, there wasn't the slightest whisper about these two in the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, as if they just appeared out of nowhere.

So who exactly are these two?!

Standing by, Li Zhirui saw Fang Weidong's face continuously changing, from shock to fear, and then to contemplation, his brow furrowed.

He understood the man began to doubt their identities.

With no choice, he struck him unconscious to interrupt his thoughts, preventing him from delving deeper and possibly guessing their identities correctly.

"Fellow Daoist, let's stop playing with them and quickly resolve this matter."

Although Fu Chengguang didn't understand why Li Zhirui suddenly urged him, he knew the other must have a valid reason, and didn't question it, instead he only increased the power of the divine power he was unleashing, to expedite the end of the battle.

Previously, he had a bit of a playful attitude, so the cultivators didn't feel too much pressure and still had the strength to counterattack.

As Fu Chengguang adopted a serious demeanor, the cultivators felt an immense pressure, akin to a descending mountain, constricting their breath and casting the palpable shadow of death over them.

The engagement concluded in under half an hour.

Without fail, Fu Chengguang immobilized all ten cultivators, their Dantians and divine senses sealed by formidable restrictions. He then extended his hand, confiscating all their storage magical treasures.

"Aaaah!"

With no further actions taken, the divine sense imprints on their storage items were expunged, inflicting such intense spiritual agony that their screams echoed chillingly.

Li Zhirui had already secured the Earth Immortal's storage magical treasure. Even in his semi-conscious state, a muffled groan of pain escaped him.

"Let's depart."

Before the sentence fully formed, the duo vanished without a trace.

Shortly after their disappearance, the cultivators' imposed restrictions dissolved. Each displayed a complex mix of emotions: fear, rage, and a thread of relief.

"Master Fang / Uncle Fang!"

Then, their attention settled upon Fang Weidong, who was nearby. They rushed to his side, eager to rouse him.

The Secret Realm was fraught with peril; should anything befall him, their own predicaments would escalate drastically!

"Ugh!"

Fang Weidong shook his head, dispelling the mental fog and pain. After a brief recovery, he inquired, "Is everyone unharmed?"

"We are physically unharmed, but our storage magical treasures have been plundered." The words dripped with an undeniable despair and sorrow.

They had not only lost the spiritual objects gathered during this expedition but also the fortunes accumulated over numerous years.

Following this disaster, they were effectively destitute!

"Your well-being is the most important thing; knowing you are safe is enough."

He too was devastated by the loss, especially considering the presence of several Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Objects within his confiscated storage magical treasures, now in enemy hands.

The sole consolation was the preservation of their lives.

"Uncle, how can their strength be so immense, yet they are still only Human Immortals?" a disciple finally ventured to ask.

In truth, he yearned to understand why even their Master Uncle had been no match for them, but politeness precluded such a direct query.

"I share your bewilderment. Logically, such a disparity should not manifest this way."

Regardless of their innate talent, it was unfathomable for them to effortlessly transcend such a significant cultivation realm and decisively defeat Earth Immortals with such apparent ease.

Something was amiss!

"Could it be that these two were originally Earth Immortals who employed a secret technique to mask their true cultivation level?"

Even as he proposed this theory, he acknowledged its improbability, for the Qi they exuded during their assault was undeniably that of Human Immortals!

However, to his knowledge, no known secret technique existed that could effectively conceal one's aura, even under intense exertion, for an extended duration.

Yet, beyond this conjecture, Fang Weidong could find no other logical explanation.

"Then, what is our course of action, Uncle?"

Unable to elicit a satisfactory response regarding the anomaly, the group shifted their focus to a more pressing concern.

"Sigh!"

Hearing the question, Fang Weidong couldn't help but exhale a long sigh. "Little time remains before the Secret Realm seals. We must see if we can seize spiritual objects from other cultivators to mitigate this severe loss."
