Jiang Fengwu decides to return to the Primal Spirit Realm after training for thousands of years. Meanwhile, her sons Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo are forced to flee from a powerful Chaos Fierce Beast after attempting to claim a valuable spiritual object. They narrowly escape due to the beast's territorial nature. Back in the Primal Spirit Realm, rumors of the Li family's weakness spread, but their hidden strength deters attacks. However, with the Heavenly Emperor summoning powerful beings to the Heavenly Court, opportunistic forces see a chance to exploit the Li family.

Therefore, many forces have long coveted the Li family’s various advantages, only bound by the Li family’s strength, they dare not directly take action against them.

But now, with such a rare opportunity, none of the factions want to miss it, so once they meet, they tacitly reach a consensus.

For this reason, they paid a considerable price to hire a group of loose cultivators to probe the Li family’s strength.

Although only a few loose cultivators managed to escape in the end, having someone return to bring back information is enough.

"The Li family seems to have anticipated this early on, so they prepared many defensive measures in advance. Before we even clashed with the Li family cultivators, we suffered heavy casualties because of these measures and had no choice but to flee back."

Speaking of this, the few surviving loose cultivators couldn’t suppress a flash of fear on their faces.

If they hadn’t been cautious enough, deliberately staying behind, realizing something was wrong, and fleeing without hesitation, they too would have lost their lives in that terrifying territory like the others!

The other cultivators showed a hint of dissatisfaction, expecting them to bring back useful information, such as the current state of the Li family’s strength.

Yet, they hadn’t even seen any Li family cultivators before being repelled, rendering the information they brought back useless.

"A waste of space!"

One of the Heavenly Immortal cultivators glanced at them impatiently, then attacked without hesitation, as keeping these loose cultivators posed a threat.

As they were a threat, naturally they must be eliminated!

However, it turns out those loose cultivators were prepared, executing a brilliant escape right in front of dozens of cultivators.

After all, since they dared to collaborate with this group of sect cultivators, they surely had the confidence to retreat unharmed in case of any backstabbing.

"Damn it!"

The Heavenly Immortal cultivators hadn’t anticipated such an outcome, and they were careless when they attacked, resulting in being played by these loose cultivators.

But they did not pursue these few loose cultivators, as the most important thing now is how to seize this rare opportunity to weaken the Li family’s strength.

If possible, it would be best to eradicate the Li family!

However, they also clearly understood in their hearts that this was almost impossible to achieve.

"The Li family has long arranged defensive measures around their territory, which precisely shows their lack of confidence!"

One Heavenly Immortal pondered over the information brought back by the loose cultivators, a flash of insight crossed his mind, "If their strength was sufficient, they would not have immediately arranged too many traps and defenses after the departure of the three Divines!"

That’s right!

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators’ eyes lit up, why hadn’t they thought of it?

"Given the strength the Li family has showcased over the years, besides the three Divines, there should be only one or two newly ascended Heavenly Immortals."

Another Heavenly Immortal mused for a moment, then said, "Of course, they might still have one or two hidden Heavenly Immortals."

This is also an acknowledged tactic among the forces.

"Besides, considering the Li family’s Mountain Protection Array and some Heavenly Immortal rank Spiritual Objects, with our current combat power, it is rather difficult to defeat them, let alone cause significant damage to the Li family."

As the defending side, the Li family naturally holds a geographical advantage, and can take their rest before striking, these unfavorable factors have not even been accounted for at the moment.

But even so, they can still clearly realize that weakening the Li family’s strength isn’t something easily achievable.

And their response is very straightforward, which is to gather more cultivators, concentrating even greater power!

It should be known that they are not fighting alone, but are assembling the forces of five or six Heavenly Immortal factions.

Perhaps each faction, taken individually, is not a match for the Li family, but united, the situation changes!

Thus, one spirit light flew back to each mountain gate, and soon, more spirit lights soared, heading towards their location.

...

Just as they are busily preparing how to attack the Li family, the Li family, as the defensively responding side, is not completely unaware of this!

When those loose cultivators attacked the Li family without reason earlier, they felt something was amiss.

Moreover, some of the loose cultivators actually revealed the mastermind behind it in the face of death.

Of course, the Li family would be vigilant against this and maintain a high level of caution.

"Clan Leader, should we ask those ancestors back to oversee?" Some elders asked with concern and urgency.

Their reference was to Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Li Mingyao who were summoned to the Heavenly Court by the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

And the reason for such worry is because the challenge the family faces this time isn’t just a small skirmish, but a joint attack of five or six Heavenly Immortal forces on Mount Wanxian!

Although there are still six Heavenly Immortals overseeing the clan territory now, they are all at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal Rank, so their strength is naturally not as formidable as other Heavenly Immortals.

The only one at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Immortal Rank, the fairly strong Qingxuan, excels more at defense than at offensive means.

"No need to call those ancestors back, with the family’s current strength, it can withstand this attack!"

The Clan Leader said in a deep voice, "Trust in the family’s current power!"

Not calling Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Li Mingyao back is because they cannot return, their Divine Dao Mark has long surpassed their origin from the Li family.

So faced with the summons of the Heavenly Emperor and their responsibilities to the Primal Spirit Realm, they cannot come back. If informed, it would only create worry and concern for the family.
