Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

The Water Devil recounted the entire process of the gamble, saying, "We fell for the Li family's cunning scheme, focusing only on the Deity of the Sun and neglecting that there was also a Deity of the Moon. Ao Yan was the first to step into battle, but was restrained by the Deity of the Moon, ultimately losing the first round of the gamble..."

They deliberately concealed the fact that they were the ones to admit defeat, rather than Ao Yan being unable to persist.

Matters like these could be discussed within the family, but must not be brought to the surface publicly.

"Alas!"

After hearing everything, the Elders were slightly startled, as they too had overlooked the Deity of the Moon and only focused on the Deity of the Sun.

"Forget it, forget it. Since the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area is out of reach, the Cave Abyss Sea Domain must not have any problems!"

Otherwise, the Sea Clan would be making a colossal joke of themselves, ridiculed by all forces in the Primal Spirit Realm.

Therefore, the Sea Clan abandoned any greedy notions and honestly dispatched numerous Water Devils, using strength to suppress others. After paying a considerable price, they successfully seized half of the Cave Abyss Sea Domain.

Due to this, the Cave Abyss Sect was furious and prepared to muster a large army of cultivators for another battle with the Sea Clan!

"How is it possible!?"

Just as they were about to launch an attack, they learned that the Li family had not allowed the Sea Clan to occupy the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, leaving the Sect Leader and Elders in shock.

"It's true, but..."

They then recounted the entire course of events.

"A gamble? The Li family is truly bold, no wonder the Sea Clan was tempted to agree." the Sect Leader murmured.

With the entire Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area as the wager, and no further intrusion in the future, the price was indeed substantial.

However, the Cave Abyss Sect could not do this, and even if they tried to imitate, after suffering once, the Sea Clan might not agree again.

So, to reclaim that half sea domain, they had to rely on their own strength.

Unfortunately, the Sea Clan had prepared in advance, and after a fierce battle, both sides suffered countless casualties, but the Cave Abyss Sect could not reclaim that half sea domain.

As the saying goes, fortune never comes in pairs, misfortune never comes alone!

The Cave Abyss Sect hadn't even had time to lick their wounds when the Great Zhou Dynasty came to their door.

But these matters had nothing to do with the Li family, who were focused on handling the mess left behind after the Sea Clan's retreat.

On this day, a group of cultivators arrived at Wanling Island.

"Um..." A certain cultivator hesitated, looking embarrassed, unable to state their purpose.

Another cultivator, however, directly said, "The Three-White Sea Domain originally belonged to my Bai Family. Now that the Sea Clan has retreated, shouldn't it be returned to us?"

"Also, the Fengye Sea Domain was my Lin Family's territory, but when we went to take possession, your family actually refused us!"

"Those outer sea domains originally belonged to various families and sects; why is the Li family so overbearing in occupying them?"

"Yes, yes! The Li family is too tyrannical!"

"Give us an explanation!"

Perhaps emboldened by their numbers, these cultivators boldly demanded an explanation from the Li family, insisting the sea domains be returned to them.

"Impossible!"

Li Guangjie sternly and straightforwardly refused.

Since the family won the gamble, he personally came to the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area to manage the complex affairs and to wait for their arrival.

In the past, the forces of the outer sea domains were mostly branches of the Individual Immortal factions from the East Continent, not completely annihilated by the Sea Clan.

"The outer sea domain was reclaimed from the Sea Clan by our family. Even if it belonged to you before, it fell into the hands of the Sea Clan and no longer has anything to do with you."

"The Li family is too tyrannical!" the Bai cultivator protested loudly.

"Ha!"

Li Guangjie let out a cold laugh, saying, "My Li family is tyrannical? Let me ask, back when we fought against the Sea Clan, how many of your cultivators joined the battle? And why did you come only today?"

"You just learned of the family's gamble outcome with the Sea Clan and know that hereafter it would remain a very safe place without further Sea Clan invasion, so you want to share in the spoils."

Even though the Li family originally intended to use them, the situation now was different. They no longer had any use and had become an obstacle instead, so the Li family naturally wanted to dispose of them.

"So, don't even think about the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area anymore!"

By this point, there was no need for further discussion.

"Fine, fine! Today we have surely witnessed the Li family's tyranny and shamelessness. Let's leave!"

"I want to see how far the Li family can go, and whether you'll end up falling into pieces along the way."

Li Guangjie watched their backs coldly, not even bothering to respond, as he didn't take them seriously at all.

Despite their current arrogance, once they left Wanling Island, they were all quite frightened, worried that the Li family might suddenly take action against them.

As soon as they left, they hurried away as fast as they could, like they were escaping.

They understood clearly that a single family was no match for the Li family, which was why they acted in groups.

They also knew that, even in groups, they posed no threat to the Li family, considering the two Earth Immortal Realm Star Lords, either of whom could easily handle their forces.

And Li Guangjie discerned these people were all show and no substance, which is why he did not yield an inch, to prevent them from taking mile after mile.

As a result, over seven or eight percent of the Ten Thousand Spirit Sea Area, spanning a thousand miles, was now under the direct control of the Li family.
