Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

"If this continues, the spiritual energy on our Vermilion Bird Star will be completely drained. The Cultivation Alliance has told us to handle this ourselves, and even the envoy will not interfere."

Li Qiqing, who was the son of the Vermilion Bird, sat in a chair and said with a worried expression.

As the executor of the entire Vermilion Bird Star, Li Qiqing naturally considered the interests of the powerful individuals on the Vermilion Bird Star.

If things continue like this, the Immortal Remnant Clan may seize the opportunity to regain control of Vermilion Bird Star, since they are able to survive here.

It was entirely due to the rules set by Ancestor Lin Che back then, and the abundant spiritual energy within the Vermilion Bird's heart was sufficient for their clan to continue developing.

Zhang Kuang asked, "Brother Li, there shouldn't be any movement from the Immortal Remnant Clan right now, right?"

"There hasn't been any major movement yet. I've already sent some powerful individuals to observe. If the Immortal Remnant Clan really wants to regain control of Vermilion Bird Star, then we, as the powerful beings of Vermilion Bird Star, have no choice but to completely eliminate the Immortal Remnant Clan."

Li Qiqing replied with a solemn expression.

Over the past few hundred years, countless powerful individuals have emerged from the Immortal Remnant Clan, with numerous cultivators reaching the level of Nine-Leaf Spellcaster. This is entirely due to the abundant spiritual energy on Vermilion Bird Star.

This resulted in the Immortal Remnant Clan having significantly more powerful individuals than the Vermilion Bird Star.

"I hope no one has any ideas about this."

...............

Vermilion Bird Star, the remnant of the Immortal Clan.

A level six cultivation kingdom.

In the magnificent palace, Yun Quezi, a member of the second clan of the Immortal Remnant Clan, leaned back in her chair, savoring a freshly roasted chicken.

Before him stood powerful figures from the Immortal Remnant Clan, including the Third Ancestor Meiji and the Fifth Ancestor Cui Zhi, all of whom had surpassed the Ascending Realm.

"So, you want to attack the Vermilion Bird Kingdom and regain control of Vermilion Bird Star?"

Yun Quezi glanced at the several experts who had reached the pinnacle and said indifferently, "You should all know how strong Lin Che was back then. If he were to return, I'm afraid there would be no more Immortal Remnants on Vermilion Bird Star."

Cui Zhi sat upright in his chair, his face displeased, and said, "What are you afraid of? Lin Che has already offended the Cultivation Alliance Star Region. The entire Cultivation Alliance is now after him. Even if he dares to come back, he probably won't be able to enter Vermilion Bird Star."

He has now advanced to the level of a Twelve-Leaf Spellcaster, equivalent to the late-stage Great Perfection realm in the human realm.

The Third Ancestor, Meiji, had already reached the level of a Fourteen-Leaf Spellcaster, equivalent to the Yin Deficiency Realm in humans, making her an extremely powerful being.

Yun Quezi looked at Meiji, frowned, and asked, "Meiji, are you also planning to attack the Vermilion Bird Kingdom?"

Meiji leaned back lazily in her chair, covering her mouth and laughing, "I have no interest in attacking the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, and my relationship with Lin Che is quite good, so I have no reason to attack them."

Yun Quezi tossed the chicken bone aside, wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth, and glanced back and forth between Cui Zhi and Mei Ji.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became heavy. Several elders of the Immortal Remnant Clan looked at each other, not daring to interrupt.

"Cui Zhi, do you know who's standing behind the Vermilion Bird Kingdom?"

Yun Quezi spoke slowly, her voice carrying a hint of warning, "Although the Hengyue Sect is currently standing by and watching, they will not stand idly by if we really take action."

Cui Zhi sneered and tapped the armrest with his fingers: "Yun Quezi, you've gotten old and timid. The Hengyue Sect is already struggling to survive."

“Envoy Sikong Zhen has already hinted that as long as we act quickly enough, they can turn a blind eye.”

"Sikong Zhen?" Mei Ji's previously languid expression suddenly hardened, and her red lips parted slightly: "That treacherous villain from the Cultivation Alliance? Cui Zhi, when did you get in touch with him?"

A flicker of panic crossed Cui Zhi's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "For the future of the Immortal Remnant Clan, I naturally need to make arrangements in various ways. Mei Ji, I don't care if you befriend the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, but don't hinder the clan's grand plan!"

Yun Quezi narrowed her eyes and suddenly waved her hand to set up a soundproof barrier.

He stood up, his wide sleeves fluttering even without wind: "Cui Zhi, you'd better explain clearly what promises Sikong Zhen made to you?"

The air inside the hall seemed to freeze.

Sensing the tense atmosphere between the three patriarchs, the elders lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at them.

Cui Zhi's expression shifted between light and dark, but he finally let out a cold snort: "Since we've come this far, I won't hide it from you. Senior Sikong Zhen promised that as long as we take over the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, the Cultivation Alliance will recognize the Immortal Remnant Clan's legitimate rule over Vermilion Bird Star!"

"absurd!"

Mei Ji suddenly stood up, her long hair moving without wind, and said angrily, "When did the Cultivation Alliance become so easy to talk to? Cui Zhi, you've been used as a pawn and you don't even know it!"

"you!"

Cui Zhi glared angrily, his spiritual power surging around him, and the pressure of a twelve-leaf spellcaster instantly filled the entire hall.

Yun Quezi suddenly raised her hand, and an even stronger force suppressed the two men's auras: "Enough! Fighting in the ancestral hall, what kind of behavior is this!"

Turning to Cui Zhi, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Sikong Zhen is a treacherous and cunning man. His words cannot be trusted. Besides, do you really think Senior Lin Che won't come back?"

Mentioning Lin Che's name elicited various reactions from the people in the hall.

A hint of fear flashed across Cui Zhi's face, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness: "Lin Che has offended the higher-ups of the Cultivation Alliance and is now in dire straits! Even if he comes back, with the current strength of our Immortal Remnant Clan, are we afraid of him alone?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Ji also sneered, "Cui Zhi, you don't understand Lin Che at all. Hundreds of years ago, he was able to suppress the entire Immortal Remnant Clan by himself. Hundreds of years later, do you think a Fourteen-Leaf Spellcaster can stand up to him?"

"Moreover, he dares to offend even the Cultivation Alliance now, let alone the Immortal Remnant Clan. Do you really want our Immortal Remnant Clan to pay a heavy price?"

Just as Cui Zhi was about to refute Mei Ji's words, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

A Xianyi Clan guard rushed in, knelt down, and his face was filled with fear.

"Report! A large amount of abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations have been detected at the border of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, suspected to be infiltrating by cultivators from other realms!"

Yun Quezi frowned and lowered her voice, asking, "Can you see who it is?"

The guard shook his head and replied, "The other party is extremely well hidden. Our spies only caught a glimpse of their presence before they were silenced."

Meiji and Yun Quezi exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

Cui Zhi revealed a strange smile: "It seems the timing is faster than expected."

"Cui Zhi!" Yun Quezi shouted sharply, "What exactly have you been hiding from us?"

Cui Zhi straightened his robes and said leisurely, "I only asked a few 'friends' for help. Since you are all hesitant, then let me lead the Immortal Remnant Clan to glory!"
