Chapter 587: Chapter 593: Bloody Chapter 587: Chapter 593: Bloody “That was close!”
If they had been any later, they would have probably fallen into the encirclent of the demon cultivators and been unable to escape.
Although staying behind to help Xuanfa Pavilion might lead to unexpected benefits, the risks were too great, and the demon cultivators looked nacingly well-prepared.
There must be several Divine Transformation demon cultivators among them, otherwise, no matter how many lesser cultivators ca, they would just be marching to their deaths.
Considering the Li family’s current capacity, participating in this scale of war would only render them cannon fodder; it would be best to leave quickly and not get involved at all.
“Uncle Shiling, is it safe now?” Li Chenghuo’s anxious voice ca through.
Li Zhirui found that they had left the place where the demon cultivators were lying in ambush and said, “Tell our people, it’s safe now.”
The family mbers, having been in a tense state of bated breath, breathed out a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“Stop looking; the Li family left at the first opportunity, unlike us who have been invited to stay behind and help Xuanfa Pavilion fend off the invasion.”
The burly man from Wanxiang Sect, looking at Wei Ningchen who was peering around, couldn’t help but jest, “You kid, you’re so fond of that girl, if that Li asked you to join their family, would you say yes?”
“Brother, what’s going on?” Wei Ningchen promptly shifted the topic.
“Not sure about the specifics, but it seems to be the work of the demon cultivators; be careful, a great battle is highly likely to break out soon.”
Before his words had finished, the demon cultivators’ army surged forward, led by six Divine Transformation demon cultivators, followed by dozens of Nascent Souls, hundreds of Golden Cores, and over ten thousand Foundation Establishnt and Qi Cultivation cannon fodder.
“Anji! You dare to sche against my Xuanfa Pavilion!” Several beams of Spirit Light shot out from Xuanfa State, revealing seven Divine Transformations!
And this was just the hogrown Divine Transformation ancestors of Xuanfa Pavilion; if one included the invited ones, the number exceeded ten.
“The world says that Xuanfa Pavilion is above mundane affairs; let take this opportunity to learn just how true that is.”
At his command, countless demon cultivators, as if they had lost their minds, crazily stord into Xuanfa State, crushing everything in their way into pieces.
While Xuanfa Pavilion’s high-level combat power was no less than their opponents, their lower ranks were sowhat weaker, so they had to rely on the cultivators who remained in Xuanfa State.
For this reason, Xuanfa Pavilion offered enticing conditions, and driven by these benefits, a large number of cultivators joined the fray, barely holding back the demon cultivators’ invasion.
“Be careful in this battle,” the towering man counseled.
Wei Ningchen, usually indifferent, also had a somber expression at this ti.
Whoosh—
A sudden torrential downpour fell, marking the beginning of the battle.
Swords clashed and danced about, raising sprays of blood and the sounds of severed heads hitting the ground.
Various colored spells collided in the sky, briefly dispersing the gloom of the heavy rain, but the blood on the ground only thickened.
Wei Ningchen picked out a powerful Golden Core demon cultivator and, controlling a robust statured puppet, engaged in a fierce battle with him.
The puppet moved as fast as lightning, pouncing like a fierce beast, and aid a punch at the cultivator’s vital points.
The demon cultivator was quick to react, neatly dodging with a swift side-step, as surging mana coursed through his body, and a black dragon sprang forth.
Roar!
A roar echoed through the heavens, a dreadful aura of death enveloped the vicinity, making all living beings feel very uncomfortable, causing them to keep their distance and leave the battle to the two of them.
A streak of death-filled Spirit Light shot straight towards Wei Ningchen.
Wei Ningchen didn’t dare to be careless for even an instant; with a thought, several puppets of various stances appeared around him, moving in unison to block the attack.
After a fierce battle, Wei Ningchen had secured the final victory, but at no small cost to be able to kill the Demon Cultivator.
“How are you feeling? Are you alright?” the burly man still found ti to ask.
“Don’t worry, brother, I’m not that easily injured.”
Within half a day, the ground beca soaked with fresh blood, staining the entire earth red, and the scattered remains and bones added a desolate feeling to the scene.
A breeze would co through, filled with the stench of blood, howling sharply as if the souls of tens of thousands were struggling in the wind, emitting their indignant roars.
But the great battle had only just begun!
——
“Uncle Shiling, why did those Demon Cultivators suddenly attack Xuanfa Pavilion?” Li Chenghuo asked curiously.
Once they had left the danger zone, Li Zhirui no longer controlled the Spirit Boat, as the journey ahead wasn’t so urgent that they couldn’t stop to enjoy the scenery.
Li Zhirui shook his head and speculated, “Perhaps the Demon Cultivators received so news and learned that Xuanfa Pavilion has treasures like the Shenming Fruit, and they beca greedy.”
No one could have guessed that the initial point of this great battle was due to a few crazed Robbing Cultivators.
“Dad, I’m not planning to go back to Wanxian Island yet, I’ll get off here,” Li Chengshuo suddenly said.
“Then be very careful!” Li Zhirui was very understanding and didn’t force her to go ho with him, only instructing her, “Don’t go near Xuanfa State in the short term, understood?”
“Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll take good care of myself.”
The Spirit Boat ca to a halt by the roadside, and after Li Chengshuo spoke, she turned into a flash of Spirit Light and quickly disappeared.
“Uncle Shiling, aren’t you afraid they’ll encounter danger by allowing Cheng Sheng and Chengshuo to gain experience away from ho?” Li Chenghuo couldn’t quite understand.
“Of course I’m afraid, but if a gem is not polished, it cannot beco a jewel. Without proper honing, wouldn’t it be a waste of their talents?”
Li Chenghuo pondered upon hearing these words, as if he had realized sothing.
“You keep watch over the fleet; I’m going to refine so Spirit Pills,” Li Zhirui didn’t spell it out directly but let him co to his own understanding.
Alchemizing was because on the way back, they would pass by the gate of Qianshan Sect and could complete the first transaction along the way.
Taking advantage of the ti before they arrived, Li Zhirui decided to refine more Spirit Pills to earn more Spirit Stones.
Several days later, the fleet arrived in front of the gate of Qianshan Sect.
Unlike the gateways of other major powers they’d seen before, here the view was filled with peaks both big and small, said to be a result of Qianshan Sect’s cultivation techniques.
At the beginning of their cultivation, Qianshan Sect’s Cultivators must establish a certain connection with an unclaid hill, and by nurturing the mountain, allowing it to grow, they can nourish their own cultivation in return.
At the sa ti, the bigger and taller the mountain, the higher the cultivation level of its owner.
Li Zhirui imdiately noticed the towering mountain that pierced into the clouds, and its owner was none other than Zhongshan, the only Nascent Soul True Lord of Qianshan Sect.
“Li, what brings you to visit suddenly?” Zhongshan quickly appeared, surprised to see Li Zhirui and his group.
“One reason is to complete our transaction, and the second is to inform you of a major event!”
Li Zhirui currently had fifty bottles of high-quality third-grade Spirit Pills on hand, which he would trade at the previously agreed-upon price.
While Qianshan Sect was counting the Spirit Stones, Li Zhirui brought up the second matter, “Demon Cultivators are attacking Xuanfa State, you may want to be cautious.”
“What?!” Shock registered on Zhongshan’s face, and after a good while, he responded, “Thank you for the warning, friend!”
