Chapter 330
“Splat!”
Li Su directly killed a mid-stage Refinement Void practitioner, as this individual had been subjugated by a woman decades ago, essentially serving as her confidant. The other four were spared.
However, these four soon found themselves in distress. Li Su confiscated all their storage bags and magical treasures, leaving them with only their clothes. Additionally, each had to sign an IOU note, with the numbers on these notes striking fear into their hearts.
But even so, the four couldn’t leave. Li Su intended to detain them for a hundred years, allowing them to offset their debts from the IOU notes if forced to combat enemies during that time. The Refinement Void cultivators were left feeling as if their hearts were bleeding, having hoped for substantial gains but ending up with nothing, not even their dignity.
Even with a hundred years of detention, Li Su’s authority made even the Purple Gold Holy Land’s Fusion practitioner suffer significant losses. The four Refinement Void cultivators considered themselves fortunate for sparing their lives and had no choice but to cooperate. As for the woman’s eldest son, Li Su handed him over to the sect leader’s aunt.
“Li Su…”
Just as Saintess Zixue was about to speak, Li Su’s voice interrupted her, and he had already disappeared. In the sky, the Flying Immortal Sword rained down like a downpour.
“Oh no, he’s discovered us, scatter and flee!” The demonic cultivators below Mangkang Mountain were filled with panic.
One demonic cultivator projected their primordial spirit and used a trump card to flee. Others, less decisive, rushed towards the distance without employing their primordial spirits. Regret soon set in, as even those using their primordial spirits couldn’t escape Li Su’s grasp.
Li Su’s grand array targeting divine consciousness also worked against the primordial spirits of the Refinement Void demonic cultivators.
“Ah, ah, ah~” The demonic cultivators were rapidly eliminated. Li Su’s combat prowess at this moment was truly terrifying.
During the earlier battle with the Purple Gold Fusion, Li Su likely didn’t go all out upon realizing the Fusion’s true nature. Killing the Fusion would have unnecessarily created an enemy out of the entire Purple Gold Sacred Land, so Li Su refrained from doing so.
Having lived for several hundred years and experienced two lifetimes, Li Su was not impulsive. Killing the Fusion would have been foolish, as it would have needlessly added the Purple Gold Holy Land to his list of enemies. Therefore, Li Su held back, avoiding the risk of getting too carried away and accidentally killing them.
Li Su utilized his full capabilities with a fair amount of confidence in preventing his opponents from escaping. This was his territory, after all. However, in a situation like this, eliminating the individual who attempted to harm the Purple Gold Sect and then exacting a heavy price is the best choice. His allies were growing in number, his strength was increasing, and his cultivation required more and more resources.
Master Dieyun was about to reach the Fusion stage, and with the current resources available in the Canglan Realm, supporting too many Fusion cultivators might be challenging. His daughters’ strengths were also rapidly increasing. Therefore, Li Su chose to teach the opposition a lesson, making them pay a hefty price but leaving a way out. Among the five Refinement Void cultivators, except for the confidant of that woman, the other four didn’t necessarily need to be killed, as keeping them alive could maximize the benefits.
As for these demonic cultivators, they were of little use. When Li Su returned to Mangkang Mountain, most of the demonic cultivators had already been dealt with. In this instance, at least four veteran second-grade demon sects had joined forces. In the end, only one demonic cultivator’s primordial spirit managed to escape, as this individual was the most decisive and possessed a rare escape treasure.
Li Su didn’t pursue the escaping primordial spirit. It was just one individual and not a significant threat. He believed that after this battle, there wouldn’t be many demonic cultivators attempting to target him. With this, the battle came to a complete conclusion. Li Su returned to a spot not far from Master Dieyun, continuing to act as her protector. The sect leader also arrived at Li Su’s side.
As for the sect leader’s aunt, she, along with the people from the Eastern family, took the woman’s eldest son with them. At this point, the woman’s eldest son finally regained some clarity. He was indeed quite arrogant, not fully recognizing the situation even at this moment. “Do you dare to kill me? My father will never let you go,” he threatened.
Before this fellow could finish his words, one of the sect leader’s uncles slapped him so hard that he lost all his teeth. The Saintess Zixue still wanted to speak with Li Su, but the green-robed young lady held her back. “Saintess, let’s not go there for now. Let’s wait until Master Dieyun succeeds, and then we can discuss our strategy first,” the green-robed young lady said.
The Saintess Zixue nodded, feeling uncertain about what to do. She had waited for over a hundred years within the Li family, thinking that this time would be a golden opportunity. Little did she expect that during these hundred-plus years, Li Su would actually reach the Fusion stage right under her nose, and not only that, but he had also become so formidable once he attained the Fusion stage.
Li Su had dealt a severe blow to the Purple Gold Holy Land’s Fusion cultivators, and in the end, he had demanded a fortune equivalent to thirty million low-grade spirit stones for them to leave. Their chance had slipped away. Not only had their opportunity vanished, but seeing how incredibly powerful and exceptional Li Su had become, their previous plans to recruit him were rendered completely ineffective.
Therefore, they had no choice but to reconsider their plan. “Saintess, you should go, and I will provide protection from the skies,” Elder He declared, showing his sincerity by providing support for Master Dieyun from a distance. The Saintess Zixue and the green-robed young lady returned to the Li family’s residence. First, they reported the news to the Xuantian Academy, and then the two of them began to discuss their new strategy.
“I knew it looked familiar. It’s the ship from the Purple Gold Holy Land. My book has some descriptions of the major sects, and the Purple Gold Sacred Land’s emblem looks just like that,” a cultivator’s voice echoed in Su City. This cultivator was from the Central Province and was at the Nascent Soul stage.
He held a book in his hands, containing basic introductions to various major sects. He flipped to the page about the Purple Gold Holy Land, where the emblem was displayed. “It really is the Purple Gold Sacred Land!” While the other cultivators were still in shock, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Central Province took a deep breath and finally made a conjecture. “Li Su has reached Fusion! What an immensely powerful stage!”
This caused a great sensation in Su City, and this sensation quickly spread to the Northern Region and throughout the entire Canglan Realm. As the people from the Purple Gold Holy Land returned to the Tianlan Realm, Li Su’s name would soon become widely known in the Purple Gold Holy Land and resonate throughout all the demon sects as well. This time, there were quite a few demonic cultivators who suffered heavy losses, including several Refinement Void peak cultivators. Such significant losses would indeed contribute to Li Su’s formidable reputation among the demonic cultivators!
