Chapter 1681: Chapter 1309: Disaster Averted (Part 2)
Thus, only Li Zhirui, Da Qing, and a few others could digest it.
The clansn who won the opportunity to be sheltered were naturally overjoyed, while those who did not win were sowhat dejected. However, they quickly regained their spirits, for the family would continue to annihilate the forces of this realm, and their turn would eventually co.
After the clansn had sheltered the low-grade Spirit Veins, it was Li Zhirui and Da Qing’s turn to act. The reason, naturally, was that the commotion would be too great and might affect those low-grade Spirit Veins.
The Earth Immortal Rank Spirit Vein belonging to Li Zhirui was, of course, left for last.
You could see him appearing deep within the earth before a massive, crystal-clear Spirit Vein. His ten fingers flurried through the air, casting spells rapidly as the Mana within him surged forth like a flood, pouring out. The Spirit Light from his palm was dazzling, and in the next mont, it rged into the Spirit Vein.
Rumble—
Suddenly, a violent quake erupted, causing the towering Mountain Gate to collapse. Stones tumbled, and the earth cracked, a wave of heat rising from within, followed by an eruption of magma shooting into the sky.
Fortunately, Li Zhixuan and the others had anticipated that the commotion would be significant, so they had boarded the Cloud Boat early and hastily exited the eruption zone, thus remaining unhard.
“The commotion is too big! Why hasn’t Jiu co out yet?” Xiaoqing said anxiously.
This kind of commotion would likely be sensed within tens of thousands of miles, so they needed to hurry and leave imdiately!
Otherwise, they might attract trouble, the kind of trouble that the family couldn’t afford to handle!
Everyone else felt the sa way, but the situation on the ground was too complex and chaotic, making it inconvenient to investigate.
“Should I…”
Before Li Mingyao could finish his sentence, a familiar voice, a bit weak, said, “Let’s go!”
Following the sound, they saw Li Zhirui, looking disheveled and battered, his hair undone and carrying so injuries.
Without asking more, they imdiately steered the Cloud Boat away at full speed.
After a busy day, they finally completed all tasks and deserved to return to the mountain’s core to thoroughly digest this harvest.
“Jiu, what happened underground?”
On the way, Xiaoqing couldn’t help but ask.
“The ground collapsed, the mountains crumbled, I didn’t expect such a big commotion at first. Thankfully, I reacted quickly, or these minor injuries would have been much worse.” Li Zhirui said with a bitter smile.
In fact, the reality was even more dangerous than he let on!
At the ti, while performing the Moving Spirit Secret Skill to shelter the Earth Immortal Rank Spirit Vein, his Mana was completely drained, leaving him unable to use any Divine Power.
If he hadn’t hidden in the space in ti, he might have been buried alive!
“The difficulty of sheltering an Earth Immortal Rank Spirit Vein is too high…” A trace of fear appeared on Li Zhirui’s face.
However, the rewards were imnse. According to Yuhong’s transmission, once the Minor Thousand World fully digests the Spirit Vein, many foundational Laws would further improve, and the Spiritual Energy would beco denser, allowing him to draw more power in the future!
“By the way! Why didn’t your aura and strength decrease much after you sheltered the Spirit Veins?” Cang asked curiously.
Li Zhirui gave it so thought and speculated, “It should be because the Primal Spirit Realm’s Heavenly Dao has invested greater power, entangling the Heavenly Dao of this Realm, leaving no extra power to suppress us.”
“If that’s the case, we should have the upper hand on the southern battlefield!”
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces. It would be wonderful if this situation could continue until the war’s end.
Moreover, here’s more good news: they could now employ more and stronger power!
…
At the sa ti.
Several figures appeared at the mountains gate of the desolate and destroyed Shahu Soul Valley. They were nearby Earth Immortals who rushed over as soon as they sensed the massive disturbance, eager to learn what had happened.
“What happened here? Why was Shahu Soul Valley suddenly annihilated, and in such a state!” An Earth Immortal exclaid in shock, “And not a trace of Spiritual Energy remains!”
He couldn’t feel any Spiritual Energy in the air, only a growing, extrely unpleasant aura.
“The Spirit Veins were destroyed; naturally, there is no Spiritual Energy.” Another Earth Immortal retorted irritably.
“No! The Spirit Veins weren’t destroyed; they were taken away!” said an Earth Immortal after a careful investigation, with a grim expression revealing the truth.
Even if Spirit Veins are destroyed, they would leave so remnants that emit thin Spiritual Energy, unlike the current state, which is entirely the Land of No Spirit!
“Who would commit such a selfish act at such a critical mont?!”
With these words spoken, everyone imdiately realized: invaders! Their faces turned grim.
“I never imagined there would still be invading forces nearby, and they seem quite formidable…”
Now, they worried about facing a fate like Shahu Soul Valley because, in terms of strength, they were all about equal.
Shahu Soul Valley had been annihilated; they feared they couldn’t stand against it either!
For a mont, they felt utterly at a loss, unsure how to deal with it.
Unite forces? They didn’t even know where the enemy was, so how could they unite?
Besides, given the situation, cooperation seed unlikely.
“There is only one solution! Request intervention from Sanhe City!”
An elderly cultivator said grimly, “Due to multiple conscriptions, each family has lost nearly eighty to ninety percent of its strength, yet the loose cultivators in Sanhe City are different. They haven’t been forcibly enlisted yet, and they remain the strongest force in the vicinity!”
“But in this situation, they will surely exploit us, maybe even take everything!” Another Earth Immortal was sowhat averse.
As he said, once Sanhe City learned the ins and outs of this situation, they would undoubtedly demand an exorbitant price!
“What solution do you have? We can’t live in constant fear!”
After so discussion, they decided to ask Sanhe City to intervene and eliminate the dangerous invading force, with the costs shared among several families.
Upon reaching Sanhe City, they saw a group of free-spirited loose cultivators, envying them for their temporary reprieve from conscription and reluctance to enter a deadly battlefield, yet also showing disdain and pity.
They envied their freedom, temporarily free from conscription and exempt from the deadly battlefields; disdain and pity were because such days wouldn’t last long.
Soon, those loose cultivators would be forcibly taken and likely die on the battlefield!
Not in a glorious battle, but as cannon fodder, re ants in the hands of the Demon Cultivators.
Soon enough, they found the person in charge at Sanhe City.
“We wish to hire you to eliminate an invading force; this is our offer for your service!”
Saying so, he took out a large number of Spiritual Objects from his arms, each quite precious.
“There’s actually an invader?!” A gleam shone in Ye Changji’s eyes, for rit rewarded by the Heavenly Dao was indeed valuable!
But quickly, he seed to think of sothing and questioned, “You aren’t deceiving us, are you?”
To prevent such occurrences, the realm’s forces had been ticulous, eliminating nurous invading forces, yet so slipped through the net.
“Of course not…” Then he detailed the miserable fate that befell Shahu Soul Valley.
“Such vicious and cruel thods could only be the work of invaders!”
Ye Changji echoed, his eyes scanning those Spiritual Objects: “Not enough!”
“Fellow Daoist, this is all we have from several families put together; if it’s not enough, there’s nothing else we can offer.” The elderly Earth Immortal feigned poverty, unwilling to provide more Spiritual Objects.
“If there aren’t enough Spiritual Objects, complete the sum with Spirit Stones.” He showed no intention of compromise.
The elder gritted his teeth and had no choice but to bring out a few more Spiritual Objects; he had hoped to sowhat save resources, but the other party was insatiably greedy.
Yet under their roof, they had to bow! With their current strength too weak, wanting to avoid the sa fate as Shahu Soul Valley, they could only hire assistance to eliminate the threat.
