Chapter 1215: Chapter 1076: Leaving_2
The funniest thing is, for the sake of fighting over so low-level devil beasts to send them to their deaths, they even engaged in intense battles among themselves.
“A bunch of short-sighted fools.” Li Chengshuo’s tone brimd with disdain.
This group of seventh-rank devil beasts still hadn’t grasped the situation or the destined outco even now.
“Hahaha, Shuo, you’re absolutely right. These devil beasts were never united. Instead, they’re full of petty sches. I can’t imagine where they got the confidence to try to seize the portal to the secret realm.” Xiaoqing laughed arrogantly, his grin wide.
Hearing this, the others burst into laughter as well.
The previously tense and heavy atmosphere instantly lightened significantly.
Before the outbreak of this great battle, every one of them, including Jiang Fengwu, who devised various strategies, believed they would face a brutal and bloody war.
No one expected the series of arrangents to yield such remarkable results.
“Alright, we should now focus on eliminating the low-level devil beasts they brought with them. If we let them disperse, cleaning them up later will be troubleso.”
Despite wanting to let everyone relax, Jiang Fengwu knew now was not the ti. It would only be after they eliminated the frantically fleeing low-level devil beasts that they would have ti to unwind.
“Charge forward!”
“Kill!”
The seventh-rank devil beasts were no longer in sight, and with the low-level devil beasts desperately escaping, staying around the stronghold would no longer suffice to block them. Naturally, they had to take the initiative and attack.
Aside from a few clan mbers who had expended too much energy, everyone else mobilized, including Jiang Fengwu. However, she didn’t stray too far from the stronghold.
After all, aside from the devil beasts, there were other forces of cultivators in the secret realm. While they feared the strength of the Li family, they weren’t genuinely submissive and undoubtedly had their own ulterior motives.
They also had to guard against the seventh-rank devil beasts making a surprise counterattack, no matter how slim that chance might be.
“The violent fluctuation of spiritual energy has disappeared! Did the Li family win or was it the devil beasts?”
As the day of the portal’s opening approached, so heavily injured cultivators or those for other reasons had already gathered near the stronghold.
So at the onset of the battle, they noticed the intense fluctuation of spiritual energy and guessed that the Li family might have clashed with the devil beasts. However, due to their own situations, they didn’t dare approach and hid even more carefully instead.
Only now, after sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations diminish considerably and spread out, did they dare to show themselves.
“That is…”
A loose cultivator spotted dozens of Li family cultivators in the distance chasing down a group of low-level devil beasts. He froze montarily, then instantly understood what had transpired.
“The Li family won!”
To him, this was undoubtedly good news.
The Li family’s victory ant they still controlled the portal, and the devil beasts hadn’t seized it. When the ti ca, he could leave the secret realm as planned.
But for certain factions, this developnt was hardly good news.
They had hoped that, with the strength of the devil beasts, even if they couldn’t destroy the Li family, they could at least cause significant losses. But judging from the Li family cultivators chasing the devil beasts, the losses were far less than they’d hoped!
After all, if the losses had been severe, how could those Li family mbers show such cheerful expressions? They certainly wouldn’t have been wasting ti hunting down low-level devil beasts.
“It seems that after leaving this secret realm, I must persuade my sect/clan to truly submit to the Li family!” Many cultivators wore bitter expressions as this thought crossed their minds.
No one liked to beco soone else’s subordinate, but they had no choice. The strength of the Li family was far beyond their imagination.
Especially after they finished exploiting … no! They wouldn’t even need to go that far. Just by conducting an initial developnt of this seventh-order secret realm, the Li family’s power would already undergo trendous enhancent.
By that ti, the gap between them and the Li family would only grow larger and larger!
Instead of waiting until then and being forced to submit, it was better to take a proactive approach now. Perhaps they could even win so favor with the Li family.
The only comforting thought was that the Li family’s behavior in recent years had never been ruthless and cruel. Instead, they treated their subordinate factions rather amicably.
In the secret realm, there was no true sun or Taiyin, but there was a cycle of day and night.
When night fell, the Li family cultivators returned to the stronghold drenched in blood and carrying heaps of devil beast corpses.
Jiang Fengwu sensed the faintly solidifying blood energy and evil qi in the air, along with the wearied expressions of her clan mbers. She furrowed her brows slightly and, without hesitation, threw out over a hundred white lotus seeds, activating the Lotus Seed Skill.
In an instant, nurous purifying white lotuses blood, emitting a gentle white spirit light that dispelled the evil qi and blood energy completely.
“Phew!”
Many clan mbers let out sighs of relief as they felt their previously heavy bodies lighten considerably.
“Everyone, rest well tonight. Do not rush into cultivation!” Jiang Fengwu shouted loudly.
After all, during the day’s events, countless devil beasts perished at the hands of their clan mbers. Although the purifying white lotuses had eliminated the evil qi, their ntal states would undoubtedly still be affected.
To avoid incidents like qi deviation, it was better not to cultivate for now.
Fearing that so clan mbers might not listen, Jiang Fengwu quietly called over Li Chengshuo and a few others to use the Hypnotic Divine Power so that everyone could get a good night’s sleep.
“You all should rest as well.” Jiang Fengwu herself didn’t kill many devil beasts and wouldn’t be affected. She planned to keep watch alone through the night.
The others didn’t hesitate, knowing their ntal states had indeed been slightly disturbed.
At dawn the next day, all the clan mbers woke up refreshed.
After finishing the morning cultivation routine, all Integration cultivators gathered to plan the next steps.
“The devil beasts remaining in the secret realm shouldn’t be too many. However, there are still quite a few seventh-rank devil beasts. This ti, your target will be them!” Jiang Fengwu began.
“Yes, if we can eliminate these seventh-rank devil beasts all at once, let’s not delay for another ti. The sooner we develop this secret realm, the sooner we can harvest spiritual objects.”
Everyone nodded in agreent without any objections.
“What about the remaining low-level devil beasts?” Li Chengshuo frowned slightly and asked.
With just a few days left before the agreed portal opening, how could they handle both the seventh-rank devil beasts and those low-level ones in ti?
“If we can’t handle them, we’ll leave them for now. They’re not much of a threat anyway, and we have many clan mbers at the Nascent Soul, Divine Transformation, and Void Refinent levels. They can handle it as both a task and a training opportunity,” Da Qing quickly suggested.
“That’s a great idea!”
Everyone nodded in approval.
With all matters settled, the group dispersed, each gathering a squad to hunt down the seventh-rank devil beasts.
On every speeding spirit boat was a compass-like magical treasure—the Scent Tracking Plate.
Using the beasts’ aura as a guide, it was a treasure designed to locate their main bodies.
During yesterday’s battle, nearly every seventh-rank devil beast was injured. The Li family not only collected their auras but even their blood, so finding them wouldn’t be a problem.
This was why the Li family let them leave without intervening.
Other cultivators roaming the secret realm in search of spiritual objects often saw spirit boats soaring overhead.
“Are those Li family’s spirit boats? Why are they acting so brazenly today?”
Many cultivators were stunned, finding this behavior completely out of character for the notoriously cautious Li family.
“Looks like they’re chasing sothing!”
“Forget them. The portal is about to open. While there’s still ti, let’s collect more spiritual objects to pave the way for our future.”
Hearing this, others quickly refocused and continued traversing the land, hunting for spiritual objects and low-level devil beasts.
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day to leave the secret realm arrived.
Over the past few days, many cultivators, observing the changes in the secret realm, speculated that the Li family had accomplished sothing significant.
But it had nothing to do with them. They rely marveled at the Li family’s strength and lanted having to part with the resource-rich seventh-order secret realm.
