Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

"There are several underground palaces in Shanhaizhou. Where are they? How long have you been sneaking into Shanhaizhou? How did you hide for so long without leaving any clues?" Li Zhirui asked one after another.

Finally, he added, "If it involves the forbidden part, you can skip it and not answer it."

After all, he had other arrangements for these demon cultivators and couldn't let them die like this.

"There are only two underground palaces in Shanhaizhou, the Ding-shaped and Wu-shaped ones. The other underground palaces are located in other states of Dongzhou. I cannot tell you their exact locations."

It was obvious that the demons had set up some restrictions on them.

"It's not true that the Demonic Path has returned to Dongzhou. It should be said that the Demonic Path has never left Dongzhou. There are still Demonic forces in some states."

One of the demon cultivators continued, "It was because of the disaster a hundred years ago that only one in ten demon cultivators in Shanhaizhou survived. But afterwards, they quickly mobilized nearby demon cultivators to infiltrate."

"As for why they didn't reveal their true colors, it's probably because they acted cautiously, and in most cases, they only targeted independent cultivators and mortals, and they were relatively dispersed, so they weren't discovered."

Another demon cultivator quickly spoke up to show off his presence, saying, "Once, I accidentally ran into the old demon Shi Kui pouring something into the blood pool and the corpse pit. He vaguely said something that could confuse cognition. It might be related to this."

Hearing this, Li Zhirui raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that those monsters have such special abilities?

I can ask Yuhong later to see if he has figured it out.

"What are those blood pools and corpse pits you built in the underground palace for?"

"It seems to be used to cultivate monsters for use by those great demon cultivators. We dare not disobey orders." While speaking, he did not forget to distance himself from the matter.

Li Zhirui completely ignored it and thought about how to deal with the matter.

The matter of the Demonic Underground Palace is no longer just a private matter of the Li family, but involves the entire Dongzhou Immortal Path and countless forces, large and small.

Most importantly, he was worried that the magic path had spent so much effort not just to cultivate monsters, but might have more dangerous plans!

After all, if it was just to cultivate monsters, why would they go to such great lengths? They had to go to the territory of the Eastern Continent of the Immortal Path and be so cautious, fearing that they would be discovered by the cultivators. The cultivation of monsters could be done in the Western Continent without any worries.

But looking at the situation of these demon cultivators, they are most likely unaware of the deeper inside story.

Li Zhirui had no other questions, so he asked Li Guangjie to take the man away and lock him up.

"I don't want to die! Please spare me!"

"I am willing to work like a slave, just to survive!"

……

A few people thought they were going to be beaten to death, and they immediately burst into tears and begged for mercy.

"Shut up!"

Li Zhirui scolded impatiently, "I didn't say I was going to kill you, I just locked you up. If you keep making noise, I'll satisfy your wish!"

The few people were silent as a mouse, not daring to make any noise, and were taken away obediently.

"Rui Zu, I will carefully explore all parts of Shanhaizhou and find the second underground palace of the evil cultivator." Li Mingyao said immediately.

As a local god, he was completely unaware that the demons had opened up two huge underground palaces. He was indeed derelict in his duty.

"It's not urgent."

Li Zhirui shook his head and said, "The Dingzi Underground Palace was just destroyed not long ago, and the demon cultivators must be on the most tense and alert moment. If the family makes too much noise at this time and is noticed by the demon cultivators, I'm afraid there will be another war."

This is indeed the case. After he completely destroyed and wiped out the T-shaped underground palace, the demon cultivators in other underground palaces were on high alert, fearing that they would follow suit.

Therefore, if we inquire at this time, it is very likely to alert the enemy and bring disaster to the family.

If it was an ordinary battle, Li Zhirui would not have any worries at all. With the support of Wanxian Mountain, the mere demon cultivators would not be able to defeat him at all.

But since there are earthly immortals among this group of demon cultivators, we have to act with caution.

"Why don't we spread this matter and make the demon cultivators busy and exhausted, and then the family can take advantage of the situation to take action, which won't be so abrupt." An elder made a suggestion.

Li Guangjie added: "The source of the news cannot be the family, and it cannot spread from Shanhaizhou. It must go to other places to avoid suspicion."

"Leave this matter to me."

Li Zhirui took over the conversation, "I have been in seclusion for many years, but I have not been able to make any further progress. This time I go out, I can also look for an opportunity to make a breakthrough."

And it was also caused by him, so it was a good opportunity for him to put an end to it, so that it could be considered a good beginning and a good ending.

"Then there is Lao Ruizu."

Li Guangjie and others naturally had no objection. After all, Li Zhirui not only had a high level of cultivation, but also his secrets were concealed. He was the most suitable person to do such secret things.

He didn't have anything to pack, so he asked everyone to keep the secret and left Wanxian Mountain.

This time, Li Zhirui did not go to the territory of Dongyuan Sect again.

It's not because the distance is too close and he's afraid of arousing the suspicion of the demons, but the main purpose of this outing is to find an opportunity for a breakthrough, and spreading the news is just a side job.

Anyway, the evil ways have been wreaking havoc in Dongzhou for so many years, and he had even destroyed one of their arrangements. It shouldn't be a problem if it's a few years later.

Because he didn't know how long this training would take, Li Zhirui asked Yuhong to stay in the family so that he could break through to the level of Earthly Immortal when the time came.

After all, if he followed him outside, he wouldn't be able to afford so many spirit stones to rent a special cave for retreat.

Anyway, Yu Hong is close to a breakthrough, and his study and comprehension of the three thousand laws is nearing completion, and there are not many laws left.

"The problems you are facing now are unlikely to be solved in a short period of time, so don't be anxious, let nature take its course, and when the opportunity comes, you can take this final step." Before parting, Yu Hong couldn't help but give some advice.

"Don't worry. The previous training went smoothly without any major setbacks. If you waste some more time now, just treat it as the previous problems that have erupted at this moment."

Li Zhirui himself can still treat it with a normal mind. He is not troubled by his life span and has no external threats. He has enough time and patience to solve this problem.

"That's good."

Yuhong still believed in him very much, "I wish you a safe journey, fulfillment of your wishes, and a speedy return."

"I also wish you a breakthrough soon."

Li Zhirui chuckled and said, "Let's go."

Before he finished speaking, he turned into a ray of light and left Wanxian Mountain in an elegant and calm manner.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from sight.

After seeing him off, Yuhong occupied Li Zhirui's quiet room, sat upright on the cushion, and comprehended the principles.

However, compared with the laws in the small thousand worlds, comprehending the laws of the Yuanling Realm is much more complicated and troublesome.

The advantage is that the rules are more complete and comprehensive, and more conducive to one's own growth.

But this is for ordinary creatures! For Yu Hong, he doesn't need the laws to be complete now. He just needs to learn a little bit of the basics, and then gather three thousand laws, which will be enough for him to break through to the earthly immortal.

Therefore, returning to the Yuanling Realm to comprehend the laws is not only not a good thing for him, but will delay his progress in cultivation.

But now that things have come to this, Yu Hong can only grit his teeth and comprehend, hoping to perfect himself and break through.

-

at the same time.

the other side.

However, after Li Zhirui left Wanxian Mountain, he did not slow down. He rushed all the way and entered the territory of Dongyuanzhou at the fastest speed.

Until this time, he stopped being so ostentatious and instead transformed himself into a cultivator from the Immortal Realm with a completely different appearance and began traveling in Dongyuan Province.

The cultivation level of a wandering immortal is not common in Dongyuan Province, but it is not rare either, and it can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Going all the way south, until arriving in the central part, Li Zhirui began to spread the magic way and secretly built underground palaces in many places in Dongzhou, seemingly planning something big.

What he said was rather vague, leaving plenty of room for imagination.

It is precisely because of this that it becomes easier to spread, especially words that carry a bit of terror and concern one's own life safety, which spread even faster.

"Have you heard? The demons are killing lone monks everywhere. If you are caught, not only will your blood be drained, your muscles and bones will be stripped, but even your soul will not be spared!"

"Is it true? How come I have never heard of such a rumor? And what you said is so cruel, could it be that someone has escaped from the hands of the evil cultivator?"

"Of course it's true! The news has already spread throughout many states in the north. Many independent cultivators are terrified and dare not act alone anymore, which has led to a surge in the number of people in each team."

……

Li Zhirui, who was sitting nearby, listened quietly to their discussion, but was surprised at how quickly the rumors spread.

Before he even headed south, the news had already reached the ears of a large number of independent cultivators. There was no need for him to push it forward. It was as if an invisible hand had arranged everything, greatly reducing his burden.

After collecting all the spiritual stones, Li Zhirui continued on his journey.

Along the way, he could see more and more monks traveling together, instead of acting alone as before.

The reason for this is the power of the rumors he spread!
At the same time, the number of monks on the road decreased visibly.

-

Deep in a hidden cave somewhere in Shanhaizhou.

"Damn it!"

"Who on earth spread our situation? As a result, the number of lives killed these days is less than half of the usual amount! If this continues, how long will it take to fill the blood pool and get the precious monster?"

"Now those independent cultivators have a strong sense of vigilance, and they all travel in groups. The disciples we sent out are too few to deal with them; but if we send too many, we will be easily exposed."

"What should we do now? How can we solve the harm caused by the rumors?"

Several immortals and demons gathered together to discuss how to solve the current problems, but until the end, no suitable solution was found.

"Until a solution is found, we will temporarily use mortals as replacements. At the same time, we will ask them to be careful and not to expose the location of the underground palace. Otherwise, I believe everyone knows what the consequences will be."

In desperation, the demon cultivators could only do this.

But it was different for the Dongyuan Sect. When they heard the rumor, they didn’t think about how to find the underground palace, but to find the source of the news!
The main reason they did this was that they were worried that the evil cultivators would deliberately plot to harm the Dongyuan Sect.

Especially when they couldn't find the source, they became more and more suspicious that this was a scam!

However, as the news spread more and more widely and became more and more fierce, many independent cultivators did not dare to leave the Immortal City, and some even fled directly. The Dongyuan Sect had no choice but to take action.

"The most important thing now is to calm the panic and fear of the independent cultivators and restore Dongyuanzhou to its usual prosperity!"

Otherwise, without the large amount of spiritual objects provided by the independent cultivators every day, every aspect of the Dongyuan Sect would be affected.

Without spiritual objects, it is impossible to refine magical instruments, talismans, etc., and you cannot sell them to independent cultivators and then earn a large sum of spiritual stones from them.

For a huge Dongyuan Sect, no one knows how many spirit stones and spiritual objects it will consume every day. If the situation lasts too long, the Dongyuan Sect will be in danger.

"The best way is to prove that the rumored underground palace is fake, fictitious, and does not exist."

In this way, even the most basic part cannot exist, and the other contents of the rumors will naturally be refuted.

As for how to prove it, it is also very simple.

With the credibility and prestige that the Dongyuan Sect has accumulated over countless years, as long as they push forward with force and assist with some small means, such as killing a few demon cultivators, the situation will soon be restored.

But there is a fatal problem with this approach!
That is, the Dongyuan Sect had not really conducted an investigation and was just lying for the sake of the sect.

Once the lie is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the Dongyuan Sect!

I dare not say that my reputation of countless years has been destroyed in an instant, but if I have to prove it again in the future, I will definitely not believe it without thinking like I did this time.

"This……"

The elders present were all aware of this problem, and many of them were hesitant and undecided.

"How about we conduct a thorough search first to confirm that there is no underground palace, and then ask the sect to prove it?"

An elder said tactfully, and also made a very good suggestion, "And there is no need for the sect to personally come forward, just issue a reward and give out a few precious spiritual objects, and countless independent cultivators will not be afraid of death for the spiritual objects!"

Moreover, if we do this, even if the underground palace really exists in the future, the blow to the Dongyuan Sect will be relatively small.

After all, the result was created by countless independent cultivators, and the Dongyuan Sect chose to believe it only because they trusted them.

The only drawback is that it may take a long time to take effect.

"That's a good idea!"

But it received the support and recognition of most of the elders.

So, the Dongyuan Sect immediately made arrangements.

In just one day, all the major immortal cities and markets in Dongyuan Prefecture received the same news.

Not long after, many independent cultivators also knew about it.

After all, it’s a huge bounty posted in the most conspicuous place, and it’s impossible not to see it.

The content was very simple. Because the rumors about the Demonic Underground Palace had caused panic among the people, and the Dongyuan Sect had limited manpower and could not prove it as soon as possible, they issued a bounty order.

Anyone who can prove that the underground palace does not exist, or find its location, will receive a very generous reward. (End of this chapter)
