Under this vicious cycle, so demon cultivators couldn’t hold on any longer, their ntality having been shattered by the Mountain Protection Array and the Li family’s cultivators. They didn’t want to stay here any longer and, ignoring the three Immortal Demon cultivators watching them, began to flee in all directions.
"Damn it! Get your asses back here!"
"Anyone who retreats or runs away, regardless of their identity or cultivation level, will be executed imdiately!"
The three demon cultivators, seeing this situation, thought to themselves that things were not good and quickly shouted, at the sa ti brutally killing those disciples who took the lead in fleeing.
Yet even so, they couldn’t stop the determination to escape!
Because trying to escape might still offer a sliver of hope, but if they stayed here, they would inevitably die under the relentless attacks from the Li family.
Once a rout begins, it spreads like a plague. Even if they dealt with a few who dared to make a move, they couldn’t suppress it.
What’s more, with so many demon cultivators present, it was impossible for the three of them to deal with all the deserters.
"Hmph! Coming and going at will, have you asked for my permission?!"
Li Mingyao, who hadn’t made much of a move, let out a cold snort. A flash of yellow light flickered around him, and the ground near Mount Wanxian suddenly erupted with powerful gravity, causing the flying demon cultivators to lose their balance and fall directly from the sky.
The ones with better luck managed to save their lives, though they were immobilized in place, unable to move; those less fortunate were crushed to death by magic artifacts.
Even the three Immortal Demon cultivators wobbled, quickly increasing their mana to resist the gravity, barely avoiding such a fate.
Seeing this scene, especially when the three realized their movents had beco extrely slow, and even their internal mana wasn’t as fluid and smooth as before, a chill rose in their hearts.
Such terrifying earth gravity was sothing they had never witnessed before!
Especially when it ca from soone who seed of diocre strength in their records, the pressure and shock were significant.
They had forgotten that Li Mingyao was the Earth God of Shanhai State, and this vast territory was his Divine Domain! Naturally, his strength had increased significantly.
The three exchanged glances, knowing that the attack was dood to fail, and wordlessly and in unison they fled in different directions.
"Stay where you are!"
Li Mingyao’s voice rang out, releasing imnsely powerful Divine Power from within him. The gravity in the area where the three were suddenly increased by dozens of tis, freezing their movents instantly, and then they plumted straight down.
"No! Break it open for !"
The three naturally refused to be captured without a fight, frantically channeling their internal mana in an attempt to overco the gravity and regain control of their bodies.
What they didn’t know was that the gravity imposed on this land ca from the earth and mountains spanning a thousand miles, making it impossible for them to overturn it with their strength alone.
"Ugh-ah!"
The more they struggled, the stronger the gravity beca, resulting in their skin beginning to seep with strands of blood, and their vitality continuously declining.
When the imminent danger of death descended upon them, the chilling aura that made one’s hair stand on end instantly sobered them, preventing them from resisting as violently as before.
Yet from their expressions, it was clear they hadn’t given up the idea of escape.
For they knew without needing to think that if they fell into the hands of the Li family, they would have no good end! Being directly executed might even be considered a stroke of luck.
"Why struggle so desperately?"
Li Mingyao suddenly appeared above them, the gravity instantly intensifying, forcing the three to lower their heads completely, their faces tightly pressed against the ground.
This was an extrely humiliating posture, and even the shaless demon cultivators couldn’t help but look embarrassed and angry.
Unfortunately, being at the rcy of others, they had no power to resist.
If not for so remaining use, their heads might have already rolled, dead at Li Mingyao’s hands.
...
Therefore, when Li Zhirui returned to Mount Wanxian with all the family mbers, he was greeted by scenes of post-battle reconstruction, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Where are those demon cultivators?"
Without needing to be told, one could surmise that a great battle had erupted on the ancestral land and that the family had erged victorious.
"Caught three Immortal Demon cultivators alive; most of the others were killed outright, with only a few managing to escape successfully."
"Thank you all for your hard work, and if there’s any latest news, be sure to inform in a tily manner."
With the series of follow-up mundane tasks, Li Zhirui was too lazy to participate or waste ti, needing only to know the final outco.
...
"Speak! Who sent you here? And with what purpose? How many demon cultivators are nearby? Where are they all located?"
Seeing their continued silence, the elder responsible for punishnt coldly stated, "You’ve co to this point, what is there left to hold on to?"
"Answer honestly what I ask, and perhaps you can keep your corpse intact."
Initially, those few demon cultivators who had been captured alive, seeing they weren’t killed outright and encountering questioning from the Li family, thought they might have so ti to live, and were very respectful in their deanor.
Except for this question, they refused to speak.
After listening for half an hour, the clansn saw they had no intention of speaking, so they brandished a whip and lashed it heavily on these demon cultivators.
Aaaaah—
Imdiately, piercing screams echoed from the underground cages. Fortunately, no idle people were nearby, so it didn’t attract any attention.
