Chapter 1087: Chapter 1012: Mysterious_2
Other Immortal Realm powers control seas too distant, they are unaware of the situation.
However, even without a solution like the Cave Abyss Sect to remove the hidden dangers, it won’t affect the safety of Wanling Island in the short term. Moreover, with the Cave Abyss Sect in between, Jiang Fengwu and Da Qing don’t care much.
"I wonder if our family will get involved in this Fine Gold vein." Jiang Fengwu said with a bit of worry.
Da Qing knew what she was thinking and reassured: "Jiu is not blinded by greed, he understands that the competition for Fine Gold will be fierce, and he surely won’t get involved."
In fact, he felt that Li Zhirui was very likely to take the risk, because his life would be greatly safeguarded, but regarding the matter of space, Da Qing could not speak out, so he simply did not mention it.
"I hope so." Jiang Fengwu shook her head, not saying much more.
As partners for thousands of years, how could Jiang Fengwu not see that underneath Li Zhirui’s caution, there was a heart eager for adventure?
But she could not say much either, because she was the same, otherwise why would she have stayed in the seabed for decades, and painstakingly researched Formation to decode it for decades?
Like their children, one dared to try refining True Sun Fire after breaking through the Void Refinement Realm, and the other never returned from gaining experience outside for a hundred years; it’s hard not to say they didn’t inherit their parents’ hidden adventurous genes.
——
Mount Wanxian.
"Just like Ancestor Rui said, every kind of ghost and goblin is seizing the opportunity to show up." Li Xunda’s expression turned cold after reading the Jade Slip in his hand.
According to the arrangements made by Li Zhirui before his departure, he increased the patrolling on the family’s territory and then discovered many hidden Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators.
No wonder recently there had been frequent reports of attacks on mortal towns, it seems these Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators are behind them!
You should know, most mortals within the territory ruled by the Li family have Li family blood, with only a very small part being refugees from other places.
Although there no longer exists any blood relationship due to propagation over nearly a thousand years, they are all descendants of the Li family. It is precisely because of their presence that the Li family produces a large number of clan members with Spiritual Roots every year, maintaining a relatively high development speed of the family.
"A bunch of scoundrels, merely at Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation, dare to misbehave in my Li family’s territory, they truly do not see us in their eyes!"
A murderous intent surfaced in Li Xunda’s eyes, he immediately gathered the Elders, and with everyone’s unanimous consent, dispatched clan members to eradicate the Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators.
"Strengthen the patrols, and at the same time, assign some Flying Spirit Beasts from the family to guard within fifty miles around Mount Wanxian, immediately report to the family if anything unusual is discovered!"
Besides the clan members, Li family also had numerous Spirit Beasts to deploy, with their presence, Li family could make the area around Mount Wanxian a place where no movement could hide.
As the Li family became serious, a large number of clan members were deployed outside to deal with those Demon Cultivators and Devil Beasts, and Mount Wanxian’s domain quickly stabilized.
Of course, in the process, the Li family inevitably had some casualties.
And these Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators were definitely not the last batch; as long as the Fine Gold had not been depleted, the Great Abilities of different camps of Immortal Realm hadn’t left, the surrounding territory could not be completely stabilized.
What Li Xunda and the other Elders had to do was to minimize the casualties among the clan members, such as preparing more Precious Pills for healing and restoring Mana, and also some attack and Defensive Talismans.
"Damn! The cultivators in this place are so vigilant, I was just a bit careless and exposed a small flaw, and I was immediately discovered." 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
A heavily injured Demon Cultivator, grinding his teeth, said: "Once I’ve healed my wounds, I must show them what I’m capable of!"
"Oh? Really?" A light retort entered the ears of the Demon Cultivator.
"Too bad, you won’t have that chance!"
Before the voice fell, a Sword Light shot through the sky, the Demon Cultivator hurriedly sacrificed his Defensive Treasure to respond, but couldn’t completely block it, adding another sword injury on his body.
Whoosh!
Before the Demon Cultivator could catch his breath, the next Sword Light appeared in front of him.
"Pfft!"
The Demon Cultivator could only input a small amount of Mana into his Magical Treasure, resulting in him being blasted away.
"Come out! You skulking rat!" The Demon Cultivator roared savagely, seemingly having completely lost his sanity.
"Die!"
Accompanied by these words, dozens of sword lights wove a net that enveloped the Demon Cultivator, the sharp Sword Qi piercing through the Defensive Treasure and leaving wounds on the Demon Cultivator’s body that exposed white bones.
This scene took place in many corners of Mount Wanxian, where numerous Devil Beasts and Demon Cultivators paid with their lives for their actions!
——
Boom!
While opening a new mining tunnel in the vein, Li Zhirui suddenly heard a huge rumbling nearby, followed by strong energy fluctuations.
This made him immediately stop what he was doing, not daring to continue advancing nor even make too much noise.
Because clearly, there were Immortal Realm Great Abilities fighting ahead, and it was an intensely fierce battle, not the usual contest over Laws.
Li Zhirui was not familiar with battles among the Immortal Realm; he did not know that this situation typically occurred only during major conflicts!
For the Immortal Realm, contests over Laws tended towards diplomatic sparring; even though losing caused some harm to oneself, the injuries were relatively minor.
But once Mana was employed, things became much more serious, indicating that at least one party harbored deadly intent!
’Wonder what Grade of Fine Gold was found...’
Li Zhirui, hiding behind the thick mine wall, could still feel overwhelming oppression and the suffocating intent to kill.
He had already diverted part of his consciousness to the spatial contact, ready to hide in his space at the first sign of danger.
Boom —
The ground shook violently; the originally solid tunnel cracked, large chunks of soil and boulders falling as if to bury everyone alive.
Li Zhirui could not even stand steady; his body swayed continuously until he finally fell to the ground.
In front of him, the soil wall that had been standing between himself and the Immortal Realm Great Abilities was riven by a large crack, leaving him exposed before those powerful beings.
However, they had no intention to concern themselves with Li Zhirui, the insignificant ant, as all were focused on competing for the piece of Fine Gold radiating mystical Immortal Qi nearby.
Dozens of Immortal Realm Great Abilities in a small underground cave clashed with pressures that felt like they froze space and time itself.
’Is that Immortal Grade Fine Gold or the Fine Gold Ore Mother?’
No Great Ability paid any attention to Li Zhirui, which kept him from escaping immediately; instead, he stood up and squinted at the Fine Gold.
Pfft!
Before Li Zhirui could make sense of it, they started fighting again, their powerful energy, unblocked by the thick stone wall, hitting him directly.
His body, like a rag, was thrown for miles!
Keep in mind, this was just a residual effect of the Immortals’ actions, and Li Zhirui had no chance to resist and was immediately severely injured.
Li Zhirui lay on the ground, agony sweeping through his body, leaving him without the strength to rise, his strong will the only reason he had not passed out.
Just as he prepared to hide in his space to seek refuge and heal, he saw a somewhat familiar figure suddenly appear in the cave ahead, directly above the piece of Fine Gold that the dozens of Immortal Realm entities were fighting over.
"How dare you, young fool!"
"Stop, thief!"
If Li Zhirui could notice this person, how could those Great Abilities not?
And they also recognized this ’person,’ who was the mysterious ’Cultivator’ who had appeared suddenly outside the mine, causing the Devil Race, Sea Clan, and Demon Cultivators to break through the cultivators’ defensive line and enter the vein!
"Hehehe, this treasure is not fated for you! But thanks to you guys, joining forces to stop this treasure, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get this one that has awakened its Spiritual Intelligence."
Before his words fell, he disappeared with the Fine Gold.
