Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Therefore, many forces have long coveted the Li family, but have been constrained by the Li family's strength and dare not take direct action against them.

However, now that such a good opportunity has come up, all parties do not want to miss it, so as soon as they met, they reached a consensus very tacitly.

For this, they paid a considerable price, hiring a group of rogue cultivators to test the Li family's strength.

Although only a few rogue cultivators escaped in the end, it was enough that some of them returned and brought back news.

"The Li family seemed to have anticipated this, so they made many defensive measures in advance. We hadn't even fought against the Li family cultivators yet, but because of these measures, we suffered heavy casualties and had to flee back in the end."

As they spoke, the surviving rogue cultivators couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear on their faces.

If they hadn't been cautious enough and deliberately stayed at the back, turning around and running away without hesitation when they realized something was wrong, they probably would have lost their lives in that terrifying place, just like the other rogue cultivators!
The cultivators immediately showed a hint of dissatisfaction, as they had hoped the cultivators would bring back some useful information, such as the current strength of the Li family.

As a result, they were defeated before they even saw any of the Li family cultivators, and the news they brought back was of little use.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

One of the Celestial Immortal cultivators glanced at them impatiently, then attacked them without hesitation, as keeping this group of rogue cultivators around was a potential threat.

Since it is a potential hazard, it must be eliminated!

But to their surprise, those rogue cultivators were prepared and pulled off a clever escape, successfully fleeing in front of dozens of cultivators.

After all, since they dared to cooperate with this group of sect cultivators, they must have been confident that they could escape unscathed if they were double-crossed.

Damn it!

Those celestial cultivators hadn't expected this situation, and they hadn't been paying much attention when they made their move, so they ended up being tricked by a few rogue cultivators.

However, they did not pursue and kill these rogue cultivators, because the most important thing now was to seize this rare opportunity to weaken the Li family's strength.

If possible, it would be best to wipe out the Li family!

However, they also knew very well that this was almost impossible to do.

"The fact that the Li family set up defensive measures near their ancestral lands so early on precisely demonstrates their lack of confidence!"

As a celestial being pondered the news brought back by the group of rogue cultivators, a sudden flash of insight struck him, and he said, "If they were strong enough, it would be impossible for them to immediately set up so many traps and defenses outside their clan territory after those three deities left!"

Yup!

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators' eyes lit up. How come they hadn't thought of that?

"As for the strength that the Li family has shown in recent years, apart from those three gods, there should only be one or two newly promoted celestial immortals."

After pondering for a moment, another celestial being said, "Of course, there may be one or two more celestial beings hidden away."

This is a tacitly agreed-upon measure by all the various factions.

"In addition to that, we also need to consider the Li family's protective mountain formation and some Celestial Immortal-level spiritual objects. With our current combat strength, it is still quite difficult to defeat them, let alone inflict a significant blow on the Li family."

As the defending side, the Li family naturally has the advantage of terrain and can wait in comfort. These unfavorable factors for them have not yet been taken into account.

Even so, they were still clearly aware that weakening the Li family's power was not something that could be done easily.

Their solution was simple: to gather more cultivators and pool their strength!
It's important to understand that they weren't fighting alone; they had gathered together five or six Celestial Immortal factions.

Perhaps each of them individually is no match for the Li family, but when they unite, the situation changes!
As a result, beams of spiritual light flew back to their respective mountain gates, and before long, even more beams of spiritual light soared into the sky, flying towards their location.

……

While they were making intensive preparations for how to attack the Li family, the Li family, as the side on the defensive, was not completely unaware of this!
When that group of rogue cultivators attacked the Li family for no reason, they had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Moreover, some rogue cultivators, in the face of death, had already revealed the mastermind behind it all.

The Li family would naturally be on guard against this and would be extremely vigilant.

"Clan leader, should we invite those patriarchs back to oversee things?" some elders asked with some worry and anxiety.

The people he mentioned were Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Li Mingyao, who had been summoned to the Heavenly Court by the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.
The reason he was so worried was that this time the challenge his family was facing was no small-scale one like before, but rather a joint attack on Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain by five or six Celestial Immortal forces!
Although there are still six Celestial Immortals guarding the clan's territory, they are all still in the early stages of Celestial Immortal cultivation, and their strength is naturally not as great as that of the other Celestial Immortals.

The only realm is the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm. Qingxuan, who is quite powerful, is more skilled in defense than in attack.

"There's no need to call those elders back. With the family's current strength, we can withstand this attack!"

The clan leader said in a deep voice, "Have faith in the clan's current strength!"

The reason why Qingpeng, Qingcang, and Li Mingyao were not summoned back was because they could not return; the divine marks on their bodies were actually greater than their Li family origins.

Therefore, faced with the Heavenly Emperor's summons and their responsibilities to the Yuanling Realm, they could not return. If they were told, it would only make them worry and miss their families.

"Moreover, the family had been hiding a portion of its strength, intending to give other forces a huge surprise! But now it seems that it can no longer hide it."

The Li family has a long tradition of concealing their strength. Starting with Li Zhirui, they consciously hid their strength, and somehow it has been passed down.

Moreover, the level of secrecy was extremely high; apart from the clan leader, only those celestial ancestors knew about it.

As for the other clansmen, even the elders, they only knew a little bit, but they didn't really understand the whole picture.

When the elders heard what the clan leader said, they also remembered this matter. Seeing his confidence, their anxious hearts gradually calmed down.

"Are you really okay?" I asked, still a little worried.

"Do not worry."

The clan chief was quite confident, saying, "Besides, you don't really understand the power of the mountain-protecting formation."

Upon hearing this, no one pressed for further questions, since the clan leader would never joke about the safety and development of the clan.

Moreover, they suddenly realized that despite the extremely dangerous situation, they had not seen a celestial ancestor appear.

Doesn't this just demonstrate their confidence in the family?
"In order to prevent them from not coming, we should find a way to ensure that they attack the family!"

The clan chief's eyes gleamed as he said, "In this way, we will have leverage over them, giving us a ready-made reason to settle scores later!"

The elders looked at each other in disbelief. They hadn't expected their clan leader to be so crazy and arrogant, still trying to lure them into attacking the clan.

It's important to understand that even with the protection of the mountain-guarding formation, it doesn't mean they won't suffer casualties.

Moreover, if any accident were to occur, the family might suffer huge casualties!
"Clan leader, shouldn't we carefully consider this matter before making a decision?" The elder still hoped that things could be handled more cautiously.

"Don't worry, this has already been approved by all the elders." Hearing this, the elders didn't dare to say anything more.

Because of this decision, they did not kill all the rogue cultivators, but deliberately let a few of them go.

Those rogue cultivators thought it was because they were cautious enough, plus a bit of luck, but they didn't know that it was actually the Li family's doing.

Otherwise, with their strength, it would be a pipe dream for them to leave the Wanxian Mountain Range, which the Li family has managed for countless years!

The Li family released those rogue cultivators to convey to other cultivators that the Li family was now easily frightened and their strength was not particularly great.

This scheme is actually very rudimentary, but it perfectly exploits people's hearts!

And as expected, the group of cultivators fell into the trap.

However, their reaction was not what the Li family patriarch had expected. He did not think that the Li family was all bark and no bite and was eager to launch an attack on the Li family.

On the contrary, their considerations were quite comprehensive, or rather, they wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Li family.

Therefore, they eventually gathered a large number of disciples from their respective sects and families.

A few days later!
The Dongyuan Sect, Baiyun Sect, and other forces gathered a total of 100,000 cultivators, including thirteen Celestial Immortals and hundreds of Earthly Immortals, who boarded spirit ships and surrounded Wanxian Mountain.

The Li family patriarch's initially confident expression froze upon seeing the number and strength of the enemy.

This situation has exceeded his expectations!

While I'm not too worried about the family being wiped out, there might be significant casualties among its members.

Upon realizing the current situation, the clan chief immediately composed himself. He knew he had to give his people confidence and not let it affect their morale.

"Let's do it!"

"kill!"

With the clan leader's command, the battle cries shook the heavens. All the clansmen unleashed their prepared attacks, and a vast and dazzling torrent of magic poured out, slamming heavily into the cultivators.

Although they had prepared themselves mentally, they still underestimated the strength of the Li family.

Even though they resisted with all their might, they ultimately failed, only managing to weaken the power of the magical torrent by more than half. However, the remaining power still caused them considerable casualties.

"Every member of the Li family! They all deserve to die!"

The Deng family immortal of Qiquan Mountain, who suffered the greatest loss, was completely enraged, his eyes bloodshot as if they could ooze blood.

"Your opponent is me!"

Li Yunran immediately stepped forward to deal with this celestial being and reduce his damage to the mountain-protecting formation.

"Die!"

Rumbling--

The two celestial beings instantly erupted into a fierce battle, and cracks seemed to appear in the space where they clashed.

Both sides seemed to have received a warning and therefore dared not continue their battle in the Elemental Realm, instead heading towards the starry sky.

Subsequently, one by one, the celestial beings from the Li family appeared, totaling eight people!

"The Li family actually has several Celestial Immortals hidden away! Fortunately, we recruited a few more Celestial Immortals from our mountain gate, otherwise this attack would have ended in a disappointing failure." A Celestial Immortal cultivator felt a sense of relief and breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, it strengthened their resolve to suppress and weaken the Li family!

Unbeknownst to them, the Li family had acquired eight Celestial Immortal cultivators. If the three deities were included, that would make eleven!

This number is difficult for even established celestial forces like theirs to achieve, yet a junior has succeeded.

After the eight Celestial Immortals of the Li family appeared, they chose a suitable opponent based on their own strength.

The reason it is considered "relatively suitable" is because the other party's level of understanding is generally higher than theirs.

In order to fight freely, they, like Li Yunran, left the Yuanling Realm.

However, the number of Heavenly Immortal cultivators in the Li family was naturally no match for the combined Heavenly Immortal forces of these five or six families. So in the end, the Li family only had Qingxuan left as a Heavenly Immortal, while the other side still had four or five Heavenly Immortals!

In any given situation, Qingxuan's limit is taking away two Celestial Immortal cultivators.

As for the remaining two or three Celestial Immortals, the clansmen can only rely on the formation to deal with them.

The war was extremely bloody and brutal!

Within an hour of the battle, tens of thousands of cultivators had perished, their flesh and bones falling to the ground.

Of course, because the Li family cultivators were protected by the mountain-protecting formation, the vast majority of these dead cultivators came from these few forces.

However, this does not mean that the Li family suffered no casualties. Even with the protection of the mountain-protecting formation, some members of the clan still died.

Because among the 100,000 cultivators on the other side, there will always be a few who practice special methods, such as curses or curse-killing techniques.

However, the one who caused the greatest casualties to the Li family was a special cultivator who could spread the plague through curses!

Since this cultivator had never appeared before, it was impossible to guard against his methods.

If it weren't for so many of their people suddenly contracting the plague, or even dying instantly, they might not have known it was for this reason.

However, after learning about the plague, the Li family was no longer afraid of such methods.

As a member of Li Zhirui's family, before he left, he was able to leave behind all the other methods and secret techniques besides his own fundamental cultivation method.

The lotus planting method is no exception!
Therefore, when a large number of cultivators from the Li family used the Lotus Planting Technique, the purification power surged rapidly, and the plague was naturally and quickly eliminated.

Although the Li family suffered fewer casualties than the enemy, the situation turned out to be unfavorable for the Li family!

Because no one could stop those two celestial beings, they did not intervene in the battle, but only focused on attacking the mountain-protecting formation.

Under their attack, the spiritual light of the mountain-protecting formation has dimmed considerably.

Although it will be a long time before the formation is broken, the trend is already very bad.

"No! We can't let those two Celestial Immortals continue attacking the mountain-protecting formation. We must find a way to stop them!" The clan leader frowned, a growing sense of anxiety in his heart. (End of Chapter)
