#1348 - shock

"Some cultivators arrived, but their strength was too weak to be our match. However, for safety's sake, we didn't kill them. We only sealed their consciousness and mana before imprisoning them in the dungeon."

Because Li Zhixuan, Daqing, and the others spoke relatively little, Xiaoqing was the one answering.

The main reason for not killing those cultivators was to prevent their forces from noticing and sending a large army of cultivators to encircle and suppress us.

As for whether killing them would expose our identities and be noticed by the Heavenly Dao of this realm? There's no need to worry about that.

After all, the Golden Light Realm is rife with war, and battles erupt almost constantly. The Heavenly Dao doesn't have the energy to pay attention to such trivial matters.

Li Zhirui nodded. The identities of this group of cultivators should be those of the Hundred Swords Sect. According to his upcoming plan, he should be dealing with the Corpse Refinement Sect, which has suffered great losses. It's best not to provoke too many enemies at this time.

"I've gathered a very important piece of information from my inquiries!"

Immediately afterward, he told everyone the information he had verified many times.

The Corpse Refinement Sect has been ravaged by the demon race to the point of near destruction. Even the mountain gate's grand formation hasn't been repaired. A large number of disciples have perished, and countless rogue cultivators have left. It can be said that their strength has fallen to its limit, making them the most suitable target for the family to attack now!

If all the cultivators of the Corpse Refinement Sect are killed, it will also weaken the strength of the Golden Light Realm.

If we then guide the Heavenly Dao of the Yuan Ling Realm to descend, can we absorb the Golden Light Realm's laws comprehended by these demonic cultivators, strengthening our own power while also gaining a better understanding of the enemy?

In addition to this, Li Zhirui also had an idea, saying: "As we all know, spiritual veins are the essence of the earth, extremely important to heaven, earth, and all living things. If we destroy all the spiritual veins within the Corpse Refinement Sect's territory, wouldn't that weaken the Heavenly Dao of this realm, thereby obtaining rewards from the Heavenly Dao of the Yuan Ling Realm?"

There's no need to worry about the karmic consequences of destroying the spiritual veins, because once the Golden Light Realm is completely devoured, these karmic consequences will naturally dissipate with the wind.

As for what if it's not devoured, that would mean the Yuan Ling Realm's side has failed. At that time, they won't have a way out either, so what do karmic consequences matter?

"Opportunity knocks but once! If we miss the Corpse Refinement Sect, the family probably won't have another chance to destroy a local immortal force in this realm."

Xiaoqing and Xiaocang both expressed their opposition.

Li Zhixuan didn't speak, but for her, a satisfying battle was the most important thing. She didn't have the patience to plan slowly.

"The minority submits to the majority! Since everyone agrees to attack the Corpse Refinement Sect, I will give you a detailed introduction to the current situation of the Corpse Refinement Sect."

Li Zhirui glanced around and slowly said, "Currently, the Corpse Refinement Sect still has six Earth Immortals, but four of them are seriously injured and won't easily take action…"

As for demonic cultivators in the Human Immortal, Loose Immortal, and mortal realms, their numbers are quite large, numbering three to five thousand. But for a long-standing, deeply rooted Earth Immortal force, this number isn't even one-tenth of its peak strength!

"Moreover, the mountain gate's grand formation is broken. It's said that it was only simply repaired. Fengwu, I'll have to trouble you to break the formation as soon as possible. Once successful, we can launch a sudden attack, catching them off guard and seizing the initiative."

"Okay!"

"Everyone, get ready. To avoid complications, we'll set off directly in three days. There's no need to leave anyone to guard this camp. Just use an illusion formation to conceal it."

Too many people left behind would weaken the strength of the attack on the Corpse Refinement Sect; too few people left behind would make them worry about cultivators from the Hundred Swords Sect coming to search and being unable to withstand their attack.

Since that's the case, it's better not to leave anyone behind and just go all out!

Just as Li Zhirui and the others were preparing, a large number of battles had already erupted between the Yuan Ling Realm and the Golden Light Realm.

As creatures of the Yuan Ling Realm, who didn't occupy any advantages in terms of timing, location, or manpower, they naturally suffered more defeats than victories, and their casualties were once extremely heavy.

But in these battles, the Yuan Ling Realm wasn't without good results!

Like the alliance between the Yu Men He family and the Xia Xian Sect, they achieved a glorious victory!

It is said that after hiding in the lofty mountains and ridges, they used the White Lotus Seed and Lotus Planting Method to quickly restore the strength of all the cultivators.

And after waiting for the large-scale support sent by the sect, their strength rapidly expanded, reaching a very exaggerated level.

There were a total of ten Celestial Immortals, nearly a hundred Earth Immortals, more than three hundred Human Immortals, more than eight hundred Loose Immortals, and more than ten thousand mortal disciples!

This kind of strength could be called a top-tier force even in the Yuan Ling Realm.

And in the Golden Light Realm, it was also the same.

So they made a very bold decision, which was to directly attack the Hundred Herbs Jiang family, a Celestial Immortal force!

"Kill!"

Accompanied by a roar of anger, the ten Celestial Immortals took the lead, each summoning powerful laws and fiercely striking the mountain protection formation, immediately causing a violent shaking, the spiritual light dimmed, and even cracks appeared on the formation plate.

The Jiang family, from top to bottom, had never imagined that their family would be targeted as the first target of attack by this group of extraterrestrial beings!

Although they had previously deployed some methods, in the face of this terrifying power, those methods could be said to be useless and were easily destroyed.

Buzz buzz buzz——

After receiving such a powerful attack, the mountain protection formation automatically activated the overload mode, frantically extracting the spiritual energy from the spiritual veins to enhance its defense.

At the same time, it also brewed attacks exuding an aura of destruction, attacking the group of cultivators outside.

But unexpectedly, it collided with a wave of divine power torrents about to fall on the formation.

Rumble!

A deafening explosion sounded, and the shock wave containing the aura of destruction spread in all directions.

But it was blocked by the Celestial Immortals on both sides and turned into a gentle breeze blowing into the distance.

The Yuan Ling Realm Celestial Immortals took action to protect those disciples, while the Jiang family Celestial Immortals did so to protect the mountain protection formation.

After all, after a wave of sudden and powerful law attacks, the formation had been damaged, was overwhelmed, and could no longer withstand too strong attacks.

Crack——

The mountain protection formation broke in response!

A look of disbelief appeared on the faces of the Jiang family cultivators. How could this be!? How could the mountain protection formation be broken silently?

"Who is it!"

Countless Jiang family cultivators' eyes were burning with anger, wanting to find the culprit.

At this time, they realized that those mortal cultivators who were not taken seriously by them and were directly ignored were the ones who destroyed the formation!

"Impossible! How could a group of ant-like mortal cultivators be the ones who destroyed the mountain protection formation!"

Even now, some people are unwilling to believe it.

The Yu Men He family and the Xia Xian Sect used this mentality to arrange people close to the formation when the war broke out.

Once they made their move, attracting everyone's attention, those ordinary-realm disciples also had to act with all their might to destroy this formation.

"Kill!"

The cultivators from both families didn't care about this; on the contrary, they felt it was a great opportunity to attack Hundred Herbs Mountain!

With a command, they led all their disciples to charge forward.

"Damn it!"

With a powerful enemy before them, they didn't have time to think about anything else. The most important thing was to win this great battle; otherwise, everything would be empty talk.

Various divine abilities howled and collided in the sky, and a large number of lives died every moment.

However, facing such cruel and brutal slaughter, the cultivators from both families showed no trace of timidity or fear, and advanced towards Hundred Herbs Mountain with firm expressions!

In contrast, the Jiang family cultivators were quite unbearable. Each of them seemed to have not experienced such a war. The hands that pinched the hand seals actually trembled, resulting in insufficient power of their divine abilities.

The reason why the Jiang family cultivators fought so poorly could be seen from their title: Hundred Herbs! They were best at refining pills, and they had mastered many secret pill-refining techniques to improve the grade and success rate of pill production.

They spent a lot of time on refining pills, so naturally they were too busy to deal with other things.

Moreover, the Jiang family was located in the heart of the human race. If the demon race could reach here, then the human race would probably be on the verge of destruction, so it was not very useful to train the disciples.

Throughout the Golden Light Realm, thirty percent of the pills came from the Jiang family, accumulating a large amount of wealth, which was the reason why they were able to become a first-class force in the Golden Light Realm.

However, in terms of strength, the Jiang family was at the bottom.

But even so, they were still a Celestial Immortal family, and they could still resist stubbornly for a while.

This battle was fought in darkness and chaos, with the earth collapsing and the sky falling apart.

The surrounding world had been completely changed due to the fierce battle between Celestial Immortals and Earth Immortals. It was normal for mountains and forests to turn into hills, or even directly into plains.

In the end, the two-family alliance won, although it was an extremely tragic victory, resulting in the fall of seventy to eighty percent of the ordinary-realm disciples, and the death and injury of forty to fifty percent of the immortal-realm cultivators.

However, after this battle, the favor of the Heavenly Dao on them had been completely taken back, and a powerful pressure directly suppressed their cultivation by fifty to sixty percent.

If it weren't for the destruction of the Jiang family, almost wiping out all the Jiang family cultivators, at least achieving victory, then this battle would have been a huge loss for them.

Fortunately, the cultivators from both families also ushered in the final harvest.

The invasion of the Yuanling Realm's Heavenly Dao became more and more profound. They were not only remembered by the Heavenly Dao, but also further reduced the suppression on them!

……

The news of the Jiang family's destruction spread quickly like a plague. Soon, the entire Golden Light Realm knew about this news.

"Damn invaders! They actually destroyed the Jiang family."

"Not good, in this way, the number of pills sold next will probably be greatly reduced!"

You must know that the Jiang family provided 30% of the pills for the Golden Light Realm. Now that the Jiang family is gone, who can fill the vacant number of pills?

"What to do, what to do, why are these invaders so powerful..."

Some timid cultivators kept repeating this sentence, and it was obvious that they were all frightened.

"When did the He family of Yumen and the Xiaxian Sect become so powerful? They were able to destroy a Celestial Immortal force from the outer world?"

A deep meaning flashed in Doumu Yuanjun's eyes, and said: "Send someone to investigate as soon as possible, what means they have to restore all their strength."

If it weren't for this, unless both of their families were dispatched, it would be possible to destroy a Celestial Immortal force when their strength was suppressed.

Not only Doumu Yuanjun, but other forces also sent people one after another, wanting to know what method they used.

Among them, only the Dongyuan Sect vaguely guessed the reason.

"It should be using the purification law to restore strength, and then suddenly attacking the Jiang family."

"I didn't expect it to be the law of purification! Alas!"

"If I had known this, I should have pulled Li Zhirui into our team, and we wouldn't have ended up in such a situation."

Speaking of which, the Dongyuan Sect has really had a rough time.

Not long after arriving in the Golden Light Realm, they were discovered by the local forces, who sent a large army to try to capture them all. They barely escaped.

Not long after arriving at the new camp, they were discovered by a team of cultivators, who immediately summoned nearby fellow disciples, and had to start moving for the second time.

They completely hid in the depths of the mountains and have not dared to show their faces until now.

In other words, so many of their cultivators have only made a little contribution to attracting the Heavenly Dao, and nothing else!

If this continues, they will probably go back empty-handed.

"No, we must also do something to weaken the origin of the Heavenly Dao in this world."

However, all of this will have to wait until they have verified that the purification law is really effective before they can talk about it.

……

After three days of preparation and rest, the state of the Li family members was very perfect, their morale was high, and they were full of confidence.

If the Corpse Refining Sect is really as Li Zhirui said, with their strength, they will definitely win!

"Set off!"

With Li Zhirui's order, thousands of disciples boarded the cloud ships and flew straight to the mountain gate of the Corpse Refining Sect.

The few cultivators in the immortal cities and markets they passed by could not cause them any obstacles at all!

"This group of cultivators is probably also heading for the Corpse Refining Sect."

"Yes, a big battle is about to break out in this area again."

"Let's go, let's go. There are so many areas bordering the demon race. There is no need to stay in this dangerous place."

The originally small number of cultivators almost all planned to leave.

Of course, Li Zhirui didn't know this, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. As invaders, their purpose was to help the Heavenly Dao win and devour the Golden Light Realm, not as simple as they thought, to compete for territory.

One day later.

The Li family's cloud ships appeared above the Corpse Refining Sect.

For a time, it caused a huge commotion and chaos.

"Where did you cultivators come from! What are you doing in the territory of my Yuanmo Mountain Corpse Refining Sect!" A certain Earth Immortal demonic cultivator flew out instantly and asked loudly.

His heart was full of doubts. The aura on them was a bit strange, and they didn't look like the Hundred Swords Sect disciples next door at all.

In order to increase the strength, they also revealed the name of the Celestial Immortal force Yuanmo Mountain, but forgot that their family had wanted to betray and leave hundreds of years ago.

"What are we doing? Of course, we are killing you all and occupying this territory!" Li Zhirui's voice echoed in the mountain, further amplifying the fearful emotions in the hearts of these demonic cultivators.
