Chapter 643: Do Not Seek Revenge [Fifth Update]
The elder named Huang Yi was the Fifth Elder of the Rakshasa Sect, and his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Spirit Condensation Realm.
After news of the Hui Country Secret Realm made its way back, the Rakshasa Sect had initially no intention of going there.
There were too many secret realms in this world, not to mention numerous mysterious tombs and untouched deep forests and mountains among humanity.
These places were not only rich in spiritual energy but were also filled with treasures everywhere.
As for the Hui Country Secret Realm, its true nature was still unknown, and what lay within was a mystery as well; if it turned out to be just a natural wonder, wouldn't sending people there be a waste of manpower and time?
It was only after the news of Li Chengfeng's disappearance arrived that it caught the Rakshasa Sect's attention.
The Rakshasa Sect first sent two disciples to scout ahead, with Huang Yi following closely behind.
They thought that Chen Feng and Xia Li would be able to suppress these sects, and even if they couldn't, nothing too serious would happen. But who could have expected that just over an hour apart, Chen Feng would be dead?
When Huang Yi's voice shouted out, almost everyone's gaze, in that instant, turned towards the high ground.
Seeing this scene, the sects suppressed by Li Xiaoyao from Hehuan Sect couldn't help but sneer internally, "Let's see how arrogant you can be now. You killed a junior from the Rakshasa Sect, and now that an elder has come, your good luck has finally run out."
Three elders from the Nangong Family, including Nangong Yan, stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Xiaoyao.
Since they chose the Li Family, they were already prepared to be enemies with the Rakshasa Sect.
In this world, if you want something, you must be ready to give something in return; that's the basic law.
Ling'er looked at Li Xiaoyao with worry in her eyes, knowing that with her cultivation level, she was decidedly of no help.
Nangong Xuan's gaze was complex, and his heart even more so.
They were of similar age, yet the disparity in their cultivation levels was so vast.
There was a time when Nangong Xuan was admired by everyone; all members of the Nangong Family hoped that one day they could reach his level of ability, to become a genius like him. But they knew that what made a genius a genius is the cultivation talent they possess which ordinary people do not have.
Some things are innate.
Those who can achieve success through their own postnatal efforts are few and far between, but once successful, such a person is terrifyingly powerful.
Li Xiaoyao was undoubtedly one of those people.
Now, Nangong Xuan also finally understood the feelings that those family members once held for him.
The gap between them was too wide.
This kind of disparity couldn't be bridged by talent alone.
Heaven knows what Li Xiaoyao had experienced during these twenty-eight years.
"Spirit Condensation Realm peak." Li Xiaoyao immediately assessed Huang Yi's cultivation level, then turned to look at Li Yunchen and the others.
The two of them, one at the ninth rank of the Spirit Condensation Realm, the other at the eighth rank. If you only looked at cultivation level, it seemed that the gap with Huang Yi wasn't large, but Li Xiaoyao knew that the difference of just one rank was as vast as the heavens and the earth.
"Leave this man to Tinghai and me to deal with, Elder Nangong, you and Xiaoyao should leave first," Li Yunchen decided instantly.
Li Xiaoyao could not die, even if all of them perished, Li Xiaoyao must not die.
They were too old, and the Spirit Condensation Realm was almost their limit; with a bit of luck, they might break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, but such a chance was too slim for them to hope for.
Young as he was, Li Xiaoyao had already achieved so much, and given time, the rise of the Li Family was just around the corner.
Knowing Li Xiaoyao's temperament and temperament, Li Yunchen didn't care whether he agreed or not, his toes touched the ground, and he leapt down gracefully.
"If we die, do not seek revenge," Li Tinghai seriously said to him, his tone very calm, and right after speaking, he jumped down.
Li Xiaoyao watched the two head towards a fight with Huang Yi, almost like they were marching to their deaths, feeling choked up with an indescribable discomfort.
What did Li Tinghai's words mean?
He feared that in a moment of impulsiveness, he would do battle with Huang Yi and die.
They hoped to temporarily delay Huang Yi to carve out a lifeline for Li Xiaoyao.
"Xiaoyao…" Nangong Yan was about to offer a few words of comfort when Li Xiaoyao suddenly took a deep breath and said, "Elder Nangong Yan, you should leave."
After saying that, Li Xiaoyao unexpectedly sat down cross-legged.
Nangong Yan was stunned and said, "Xiaoyao, by doing this, you're neglecting the hard efforts of the Li Elders."
"They won't die," Li Xiaoyao's tone was very calm, quite steady. He looked at the two Elders who had landed and said, "Great Elder, Second Elder, give me ten minutes."
After speaking, Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes.
Just as Nangong Yan was about to speak, an overwhelming presence like that of a tidal wave burst forth from Li Xiaoyao's body, actually forcing Nangong Yan to stagger back a few steps, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.
"You're going to…" Nangong Yan couldn't believe it as he watched Li Xiaoyao form hand seals, with dense spiritual energy transforming into visible streams of spiritual energy, crazily surging toward Li Xiaoyao's body.
Nangong Ling'er watched Li Xiaoyao in surprise and asked, "Great Elder, what is Big Brother Li doing?"
Nangong Yan's expression turned grave as he answered, "He is attempting a forced breakthrough!"
"A forced breakthrough!"
Upon hearing this, both Nangong Xuan and Nangong Ling'er felt their hearts shake.
As cultivators, they understood all too well what a forced breakthrough represented.
When cultivators attempt to break through, they generally let it happen naturally, and few choose to force it, because this can cause tremendous harm to oneself.
If a cultivator's Dantian is a water vat one meter wide, then he can only absorb that much capacity of spiritual energy. However, such an amount of spiritual energy is not enough for a breakthrough.
To break through, one must absorb more spiritual energy than the capacity of the Dantian, thereby striking at their current realm to advance to a higher cultivation level.
This kind of strike is very dangerous – a slight mishap could result in backlash from the spiritual energy, causing serious injury at best, and death at worst.
Li Yunchen and the other heard the noise and frowned as they looked over, seeing Li Xiaoyao sitting down, they couldn't help feeling anxious and shouted, "Elder Nangong, take him away!"
Nangong Yan responded with a wry smile, "He is forcing a breakthrough."
"What!" Both were stunned for a few seconds, then felt both anger and urgency. This foolish kid, they were risking their lives to hold off Huang Yi to buy time for him to escape, yet here he was, attempting a forced breakthrough.
Although angry, there was more relief in their hearts.
Under such circumstances, Li Xiaoyao still chose to stay and to force a breakthrough. Such a decision was not something just anyone had the courage to make.
Huang Yi looked at the two and bellowed, "You even dare to kill the disciples of my Rakshasa Sect; the Li Family really has some nerve."
Li Yunchen took out a Precious Sword, lightly flicked his finger, and the sword issued a "hum~" of clear resonance.
"So what if it's the Rakshasa Sect? If you dare to provoke my Li Family, even if you were a deity, we would not hesitate to kill!" Li Yunchen's white brows slightly raised, his longsword pointed to the sky, he said, "Let's begin!"
