Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

The idle move I originally set up unexpectedly brought such a rich reward.

"Still trying to escape?"

Li Zhirui suddenly pointed to a certain corner, and the Demon Cultivator's Spiritual Soul instantly emitted a sharp cry. Unfortunately, the Divine Sense Attack he had prepared long ago had no effect.

A spirit light shone, revealing that Li Zhirui had been prepared and naturally wouldn't fall for the trap.

"Please let me go! I am willing to sign a servant contract to be your follower and stay by your side in the future." Seeing that his last resort hadn't worked, the Demon Cultivator immediately began to plead for mercy.

The Demon Cultivator's ability to yield when necessary was fully displayed at this moment.

But the credibility of the Demon Cultivator was truly worthless; Li Zhirui naturally would not be deceived, and mercilessly erased this Spiritual Soul.

"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives. We cannot repay you, but we hope you will leave your name so that we can repay this kindness in the future."

Li Zhirui cleaned up the battlefield, primarily collecting the Spiritual Objects from the Demon Cultivator's body that hadn't been destroyed. Just as he finished, he heard the other cultivators, as if rehearsed in advance, shout in unison.

"You haven't left yet?"

Li Zhirui was somewhat surprised; he thought they had already left to heal and recover.

He waved his hand and said, "There's no need for repayment; that Demon Cultivator was my opponent to deal with in the first place, and saving you was just on the way."

Before he finished speaking, he had already left the area.

Time was tight, the task was heavy, and he had no time to idle chat with them. It would be better to restore some more Mana and then quickly find another Demon Cultivator.

One must know that the number of Demon Cultivators is limited, and certainly, the cultivators far exceed the Demon Cultivators. If he fails to complete the task of defeating three Human Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators by then, his trial would be considered a failure!

Perhaps the only slightly better scenario is that the trial is not in the labyrinth but within the relic. Even if he fails, he won't be lost and can leave alive.

As for the idea of defeating ten Human Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators to skip the seventh trial and enter the eighth labyrinth, Li Zhirui had also considered it.

But he was also very clear that this was unrealistic.

He couldn't defeat two digits worth of Human Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators in such a short time unless he was lucky enough to encounter consecutively injured Human Immortal Realm Demon Cultivators...

After quickly adjusting his state, Li Zhirui embarked on the path of searching for Demonic Cultivators.

During this period, he also encountered some Demonic Cultivators, but they were all Individual Immortals, which he resolved with only a little effort.

He did this to ensure nothing went wrong, thinking to try doing two tasks at once, after all, the consumption was not significant.

After spending several days, Li Zhirui finally encountered another Human Immortal Demon Cultivator!

Moreover, this time he was even luckier; the Demon Cultivator's cultivation was slightly lower than his by a small Realm.

Even though he did not underestimate the opponent, Li Zhirui indeed breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was much better to resolve an opponent more quickly and easily than to encounter a powerful one.

And, indeed, the battle did not encounter any mishaps; that Demon Cultivator was simply not his match. After spending considerable energy and time, he successfully killed the opponent.

But following this battle, Li Zhirui did not encounter any Demon Cultivators again for several days, not even a Individual Immortal Realm Demon Cultivator!

"Where have they all gone?"

Li Zhirui was very troubled. The relic's area is vast, and it's impossible for all the Demon Cultivators to be concentrated in one place. But for so many days, he hadn't encountered a single one, which was indeed very rare.

Unless in the area he was in, there were no more Demon Cultivators present!

Li Zhirui felt that this was indeed the reason, so he could only speed up flying into the distance, hoping to quickly encounter the last Demon Cultivator meeting his task conditions.

Unexpectedly, instead of finding a Demon Cultivator, he stumbled upon a battle between two Earth Immortals.

One Immortal, one Demon, fighting fiercely within the relic, surrounding buildings not only turned into ruins but directly into ashes! Which shows how intense their fight was.

But the current situation was a stalemate; neither could do anything to the other.

Thus came Li Zhirui's appearance, which became the key to breaking the deadlock!

"Young friend, you've come just in time!"

As soon as the Earth Immortal saw him, a kind smile appeared on his face, saying, "That Demon Cultivator's strength is similar to mine; neither of us can resolve the other, so I hope you can assist me, and you'll be richly rewarded after it's done!"

"Kid, don't listen to his hypocritical lies; he just wants to deceive you into dying. You better leave quickly and not get involved in such matters," the Demon Cultivator advised in good faith.

If you listened to this alone, no one would think it came from a Demon Cultivator's mouth.

Yet it was precisely such words that exposed his lack of confidence, fear, and anxiety.

"Senior, how should I cooperate with you to kill this scoundrel?" Li Zhirui said loudly.

"Good, good, good! Truly worthy of being the descendant of my Immortal Tao, with such courage and spirit. I believe you will achieve even greater accomplishments in the future," laughed the cultivator heartily, saying: "In a moment, when I get entangled with him, seize the opportunity to weaken him, then leave the rest to me."

"Alright!"

"Since you're seeking death, I'll send you on your way now!" The Demon Cultivator's eyes blazed, wishing to incinerate Li Zhirui with fire.

"Come to battle!"

The cultivator shouted loudly, the whole person shot toward the Demon Cultivator like an arrow off the string.

Yet a suddenly appearing black light blocked his path.

BOOM—

A deafening explosion sounded, and the powerful impact forced Li Zhirui to retreat dozens of miles to avoid injury.

As soon as he steadied himself, a black light shot directly at him; the Demon Cultivator didn't want any helpers to appear, planning to resolve Li Zhirui first to maintain balance.

Facing this Earth Immortal's Divine Power directly, the pressure on Li Zhirui was naturally enormous. He could only frantically keep flying away while using his Divine Power to weaken the black light.

Yet, even so, the black light still clung tightly behind him, and its power hadn't diminished much!

"Damn it!"

A shadow crossed Li Zhirui's eyes; neither of these two were good people!

Especially the cultivator, who clearly had the ability to help but stood idly by.

On the contrary, it took advantage of the moment when the Demon Cultivator attacked him to launch a fierce assault, seemingly wanting to resolve the opponent in this battle.

Fortunately, Li Zhirui hadn't trusted those words, merely laying the groundwork for later.

After escaping over a hundred miles away and completely out of their sight, he instantly flickered into his Personal Space, and after a moment, reappeared in the relic.

The black light, which was chasing him, lost its target; it exploded where he vanished, obliterating the nearby area.

Subsequently, Li Zhirui carefully concealed his own aura, slowly approaching the two's battlefield.

Yes!

He intended to become the fisherman who benefits when the snipe and the clam fight.

It certainly seemed very bold, but this decision was made after very thorough and careful consideration by Li Zhirui.

Judging from their injuries, it was clear they couldn't harm each other; his sudden appearance and joining the cultivator's side would undoubtedly imbalance the situation.

So the Demon Cultivator would certainly want to resolve Li Zhirui, and the cultivator also planned to use him to divert the opponent's focus.

He had considered all these factors when he entered the situation.

And the reason Li Zhirui was so bold was because he had the lifeline of his Personal Space; without it, he would be insane to dare to scheme against two Earth Immortals like this.

It's important to know that even though they are both seriously injured now, they are not existences he can take on as a mere Human Immortal!

However, what truly drove him to do so was a question Li Zhirui asked the suspected Artifact Spirit controlling the labyrinth and the entire relic before taking action.

That is, if he could resolve these two Earth Immortals, would it count as exceeding the trial task, allowing him to skip the seventh layer of trials.
