Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

"Hmph!"

Another Water Devil snorted coldly and said, "So what? Are we just going to hand over such a vast sea territory like this? Have you considered the dangers our race will face in the future?"

Both sides held onto their own opinions, refusing to yield, and were at odds with each other.

The argument became so heated that they almost started fighting.

"Enough!"

The Earth Immortal Water Devil, sitting at the head, shouted coldly. Both sides fell silent immediately, bowing their heads and awaiting the decision of this ancestor.

"A battle is certainly necessary; otherwise, the internal conflicts of our race could easily be triggered."

Especially for the tribes that originally lived in this sea area, losing their habitat and source of livelihood, how could they not cause trouble?

"But the sparse Spiritual Energy around us is indeed very disadvantageous to us. If we cannot quickly deal with those cultivators, we will suffer due to a lack of Mana, and the cultivators might take advantage of this, causing heavy casualties."

The Earth Immortal said solemnly, "So I plan to send eighty percent of our forces for a fierce attack on the cultivators, with the remaining twenty percent of our people specifically responsible for support and protection."

If they fail and have to retreat, the presence of this twenty percent Water Devils can greatly reduce the casualties on the Sea Clan's side.

This plan essentially combines the views of both sides, appearing quite comprehensive in consideration.

However, many times comprehensive means neither thorough here nor there, especially in the current situation; a decisive and concentrated full force on one aspect would be the correct approach, rather than wanting both sides as it is now.

By then, it's very likely that neither side will achieve the initially set goals, leading to increased casualties.

"Yes!"

But the many Water Devils present didn't consider this issue at all because they didn't care how the numerous Water Devils would escape in a great defeat.

And those twenty thousand Water Devils weren't there to protect common clansmen but rather to ensure that those of Immortal Realm Water Devils under focused attack could escape safely.

As dawn broke, a million Water Devils geared up, launching a ferocious attack on the Cave Abyss Sect's stronghold.

"The Spirit Vein is destroyed, yet they are unwilling to leave?"

The Immortal Realm cultivators who knew the inside story were surprised and bewildered at this choice by the Sea Clan, along with a tinge of terror.

"Don't worry, as long as we hold on, the Water Devils will definitely retreat voluntarily!"

A certain Human Immortal seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "They're just unwilling to give up now, wanting to see if they can defeat us in this great battle."

"But being in a sparsely Spiritual Energied environment means that this great battle cannot last too long. As long as we hold out until they retreat in disarray, then pursue them with force, we will surely take many Water Devil lives and won't have to worry about the Sea Clan coming to trouble us again anytime soon."

No one present was a fool; reminded by him, if they still couldn't figure it out, it would mean they've lived in vain for so many years.

"Prepare the defense, keep the Water Devils outside the Formation! As long as we persist, victory will be ours!"

The Immortal Realm cultivators inspired their disciples' morale; for this great battle concerns the ownership of the sea area ahead!

At this moment, a million Water Devils of the Sea Clan had reached the front of the stronghold, and the fierce battle was about to ignite!

"Kill!"

"Smash the Formation in front of us!"

Countless Water Devils roared and launched their attack, with countless Spirit Lights like a torrential rain continuously pounding the Formation.

But the characteristics of the Ten Thousand Melding Soul Absorption Array meant that such attacks did not break it immediately but instead strengthened the power of the Formation.

Meanwhile, the cultivators on the island began their counterattack.

...

No extra words, no ornate phrases to describe the scene in front of them, only one point, the corpses piled into mountains! Even the seawater stopped here.

"The Water Devils are about to give in."

This uplifting news spread instantly, and the cultivators couldn't help but let out a joyous roar.

This final battle, fought suddenly, also ended suddenly.

Within a few hours, the great war was over.

There was no way; the Sea Clan couldn't provide each one with enough Spirit Stones, which would be an astronomical number. Perhaps the Sea Clan could afford it, but how could their commanders have so many Spirit Stones while out?

And the cultivator side, under the ferocious attacks of the Water Devils, held out until the last moment, achieving final victory as the Water Devils exhausted their Mana.

Then the situation reversed instantly, and a large number of cultivators rushed out of the Formation, raising their knives against the fleeing Water Devils, resulting in wails all over and numerous Water Devils losing their lives.

Many cultivators within the stronghold who had exhausted their Mana wore excited smiles because they had withstood the powerful assaults of the Water Devils, meaning they could now establish a foothold in this sea area and could begin to develop it.

The Cave Abyss Sect's splendid victory, achieved with fewer numbers over more, spread rapidly like wings all over.

The Li family, with the Wind Breath Clan, was one of the first external forces to learn the result of this battle.

"I never thought that under such disparity in strength, the Cave Abyss Sect could still achieve victory. With such a trump card, it's no wonder they didn't seek aid from other forces initially." Mu Yuan, after reading it, couldn't help but marvel.

Jiang Fengwu, however, found it somewhat strange, "Don't you think it's odd? Why was the Sea Clan's last battle fought so hastily and lost so quickly? There's certainly a secret hidden in this, which is the crucial reason for the Cave Abyss Sect's victory."

"I think so too, but Fellow Daoist Feng has not heard what the Cave Abyss Sect did, so the family cannot know either," Li Zhirui echoed.

"But this is also a great thing for the family. There won't be any large-scale Water Devil disturbances for the time being."

Da Qing's words received unanimous agreement from the elders, as they were not very keen on figuring out what secret was hidden; they just knew the family could now develop this sea area.

Moreover, after this great war, the Li family's sea territory expanded significantly.

Because many forces thought the Cave Abyss Sect would surely lose, even before the results came out, they packed up and left the East Sea.

The Li family, on the other hand, took advantage of this, incorporating all those territories into their own, knowing that even if the Cave Abyss Sect lost, they could retreat in time.

But if they won, the family would gain hundreds of miles of sea territory.

Clearly, the Li family won this gamble, securing a vast stretch of sea, which, once developed, would bring substantial profits to the family.

Initially, the Li family cautiously took only a few hundred miles of sea territory to better respond, but no one expected the subsequent development to be so smooth, leading to massive influxes into the coastal areas and blocking the family's sea territory expansion directions.

Now it's better, as the Li family expanded hundreds of miles without using a single soldier.

"Fellow Ancestors, Elders, the Zhou Family who abandoned the sea territory and fled have returned after receiving the news, wanting to reclaim that sea area." As everyone here discussed the family's next developments, a clansman rushed in anxiously.

"Hmph! Those sea territories are now the family's lands; tell them to leave immediately, or the family won't be courteous," an elder said disdainfully.

Already discarded land, and now they want to reclaim it? It won't be that easy! Especially since it has already fallen into the Li family's hands.

Expecting the Li family to cough up what's already been eaten? That's absolutely impossible.

"Those are the family's lands now. If they have any dissatisfactions, let them come to me," Li Zhirui said domineeringly.

The Li family may appear very gentle externally, but when it comes to land tied to luck, the Li family will not relent an inch.

Unless your strength far exceeds that of the family, giving Li Zhirui little hope of winning.

And the Zhou Family is merely a Mahayana family with no subordinate relations to the Li family; thinking they can make the Li family regurgitate land on a mere request? Dream on!
