Chapter 1655: Chapter 1296: The Plan (2)
Even with such a high casualty rate, even Cave Abyss Sect will suffer severe losses; most importantly, they have lost their strong combat power!
The Ming Family was repelled this time, but what about next time? Can Cave Abyss Sect still resist?
Moreover, without strength, there will be no deterrent force. How can they occupy this territory, use it as a base, expand their domain, hunt and kill creatures of this realm to earn merit from the Primal Spirit Realm?
Therefore, even if they achieved victory in the war, and even killed a Heavenly Immortal, the high-ranking members of Cave Abyss Sect were still worried.
It must be understood that every creature who cultivates to a Heavenly Immortal has undergone countless trials and hardships and does not know how many trump cards and life-saving methods they have hidden.
And to kill them is a task of unknown difficulty.
"How should the sect respond next?" an Elder broke the silence on the scene.
"This place cannot be lingered upon. After all, the Ming Family is a power of this realm, they must have one or two allied forces. If they send an invitation and those forces accept, can the family still cope with the situation?" another Elder immediately said.
"Not appropriate! This base was hard to construct, how can it be easily abandoned?"
"If not abandoned, are we waiting for death?"
"Hmph! Do not forget our purpose in coming to the Golden Light Realm."
"I think you are the one to forget the fundamental purpose."
...
Both sides argued in the hall, but no one stepped out to dissuade them.
"Enough! What do you look like with this behavior?"
The Sect Leader sternly reprimanded, and everyone immediately fell silent.
"Sect Leader, what do you think the sect should choose in the future?"
In front of them were only two choices: stay or leave.
The advantages and disadvantages of both were obvious, so there was not much to elaborate.
"Leave!"
The Sect Leader said solemnly, "With the current strength of the sect, we cannot withstand another Heavenly Immortal battle! But the war between the two realms is far from over."
Without even thinking, it was clear that the Ming Family, or all the powers of the Golden Light Realm, would not welcome them. Perhaps the Ming Family could rally many followers, and Cave Abyss Sect’s fate would be even more tragic at that time.
Frankly, their current predicament was caused by themselves being too arrogant. If not for them eliminating five Earth Immortal powers at once, they might not have attracted the attention of the Ming Family.
"Since it is such, then quickly pack up and leave this place!" another Elder supported.
"Okay."
Everyone began to act.
After their defeat, the embarrassed and wretched cultivators of the Ming Family returned to their territory with strong resentment towards Cave Abyss Sect. Some even wanted to immediately gather the clan and attack Cave Abyss Sect again.
He believed that the current situation of Cave Abyss Sect was also terrible; the Mountain Protection Array was broken, disciples suffered heavy casualties, and their strength greatly reduced. This was the perfect opportunity for them to attack and seize them in one go.
However, few supported his idea.
Because among the low-level cultivators who went to battle, almost none survived!
And those cultivators who stayed in the family were extremely weak, either being the new generation not yet grown up, or the old generation already old and frail.
The Ming Family’s current situation was not much better than Cave Abyss Sect’s.
"But just because we cannot take action ourselves doesn’t mean we should let those damned invaders get away!"
The Ming Family Clan Leader’s eyes flashed with a cold light and said, "Spread the news, let more cultivators know about the existence of these invaders."
"Yes!"
But what they did not know was that the night after the battle ended, a group of Cave Abyss Sect cultivators vanished without a trace, and no one knew where they went.
As flowers bloom, each showcasing their beauty.
Li Zhirui, preparing to lead the clansmen to attack the Long-Armed Black Ape clan, suddenly felt a twitch in his brow.
Just now, the suppression on him eased a bit, allowing him to exert more powerful power.
What exactly happened to cause such a big change?
Li Zhirui guessed that it was probably the creatures of the Primal Spirit Realm who had inflicted considerable harm to this world, causing this change.
The easing of suppression on him was not only due to the damage to this realm’s Heavenly Dao but also because the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm invested more power!
"It seems everyone is working hard for this war between realms!"
But soon, Li Zhirui composed himself, leading the clansmen straight to the territory of the Long-Armed Black Apes, starting a bloody battle!
As his carefully chosen target, the devil race’s strength was not weak and could even be said to be relatively strong, providing good tempering effect for the clansmen.
"Kill!"
After constructing a defensive line, the clansmen began a proactive attack, one powerful spirit light after another struck those black apes.
Roar—
Some weaker black apes didn’t even have time to cry out before losing their lives; some stronger black apes seized the moment to alert other clansmen of the powerful enemies’ invasion.
Soon, numerous Long-Armed Black Apes appeared in the sight of Li Zhirui and others.
Scanning briefly, the number was at least five to six thousand.
Leading were two gigantically sized black apes, almost twenty zhang in size, emitting a powerful pressure, unmistakably Perfect Human Immortal!
Perhaps, if not for the appearance of the Li Family, they might soon break through the Earth Immortal rank.
However, now, there is no chance!
"Die!"
The gap between Human Immortal and Earth Immortal is a vast chasm, though seemingly only a step away, under the attacks of Li Zhirui and Li Zhixuan, there was no resistance!
Only a moment passed before two huge corpses lay on the ground.
Squeak—
The remaining black apes, upon seeing their leaders fall, some felt fear and fled to the depths of the dense forest, while others were extremely furious, wanting to avenge them.
Their actions were quite loyal and righteous, but unfortunately, as enemies, they could only die!
The battle lasted only half a day and ended, leading to the decline of the Long-Armed Black Ape clan which dominated the nearby forests.
After spending some time cleaning the battlefield and collecting spiritual objects, they boarded the Cloud Boat and returned to their base.
In this forest, the Li family harvested the most spiritual objects, including various Spirit Fruits and Spiritual Medicine.
Based on the distribution pattern of those spiritual objects, the black apes had already mastered the planting technology.
At the same time, they discovered the reason why the Long-Armed Black Ape clan, despite having relatively strong strength, established a territory on the outskirts of the devil race’s perilous region.
An immature Earth Immortal Rank Spiritual Root!
As for what kind of Spiritual Root it was, since they were not creatures of this world, they naturally could not recognize it.
Li Zhirui naturally stored it in space, not only preserving its vitality but also accelerating the Spiritual Root’s growth.
Upon returning to the base, Li Zhixuan, Da Qing, and others did not rest, being called together by him.
"I called everyone here because I want to discuss something with you."
Glancing at everyone, Li Zhirui continued, "I plan to publicize the secret that the Purification Principle can restore strength, letting more creatures in the Primal Spirit Realm know about this."
"That’s a good idea, it can increase our chances of winning the war." Xiaoqing nodded and said, and the others showed no opposition.
As for why it wasn’t mentioned initially? Of course, they intended to gain some advantages first.
After all, in terms of strength, the Li family certainly could not compare with those Heavenly Immortal powers, and to obtain more merit and Heavenly Dao’s favor, they could only seek other methods.
"But..."
Jiang Fengwu frowned slightly and asked, "The Golden Light Realm is vast, with forces scattered everywhere, how will you tell other forces?"
"This relates to our upcoming actions!"
Li Zhirui said seriously, "I plan to wander around and spread the news."
At the same time, he possessed a large number of Purification Lotus Seeds, and in the space cultivation, he could produce hundreds of thousands, or even more, to help them restore strength.
Of course, this was not free! He was not so kind-hearted or generous.
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed, not expecting Li Zhirui to have such an idea, deciding to act alone.
