Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 217 The war is coming
After intercepting and killing Ao Sheng, Li Xiangming and his group continued to hunt down the Mountain Moving Sect disciples who had fled to the vicinity.

Because they were able to wait in the rear, and had the convenience of flying boats.

The disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect were exhausted and had no power to fight back against them.

In just half a day, five or six people were killed in the animal trapping room.

At this moment, Li Xiangru led his team to assemble.

"Xiangming, how are things on your end?"

Li Xiangming turned around and replied, "The purple-robed formation master has been beheaded, and the other disciples have also been killed more than once."

"Great!"

Li Xiangru was quite excited: "I killed seven or eight people on my side, and with my elder brother's side, there may be some who escaped, but the number of people who can return to the Mountain Moving Sect should not exceed ten."

The Mountain Moving Sect dispatched more than 30 elite troops this time, but less than a third of them returned, a heavy loss indeed.

Moreover, not all of these people will necessarily return to the Mountain Moving Sect.

"I wonder how the battle is going on your side, elder brother."

Li Xiangming spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangru frowned slightly, showing some concern.

Li Xiangren's strength was indeed outstanding, but he was facing a cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, who was also one of the core members of the Moving Mountain Sect.

The original plan was for Li Xiangren to restrain the enemy, while Li Xiangyu would lead his team to defeat the disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect in one fell swoop, and then surround the Moving Mountain Foundation Establishment Sect.

But now that Li Xiangyu has returned to Maojing Mine, the Li family has lost a major asset.

Moreover, the disciples of the Moving Mountain Sect had scattered in advance and fled everywhere, leaving Li Xiangming and Li Xiangru to lead separate teams to hunt them down.

In this way, only Li Xiangren is left to deal with Li Dong.

"Don't worry, Master, my elder brother will surely be able to overcome the Mountain-Moving Foundation Establishment!"

Li Xiangfeng and the others standing nearby, however, were very confident.

They grew up with Li Xiangren and had long developed a blind trust in this eldest brother of the Li family, whose name began with the character "Xiang".

Just then, a streak of light flashed in the distance.

"yes, Sir!"

The Li family cheered immediately, for they had only ever felt this sharp sword energy from Li Xiangren.

Sure enough, Li Xiangren's figure suddenly appeared on the horizon, holding a head with its eyes wide open in death; it was Li Dong.

Li Xiangming was secretly shocked that a dignified mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator had died in battle just like that.

Looking at Li Xiangren, although his face was pale, his clothes were stained with blood, and there was a long wound on his shoulder, he was full of imposing presence and did not appear to float. His magical power was at least 20% or 30%.

Li Dong could overpower Li Qianxiao, but he didn't even have a chance to corner Li Xiangren.

No wonder Lee Kyeom-woong said that Lee Sang-in's strength was no less than his.

So Liu Xiong Yu is also an anomaly. His cultivation level is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet he makes Li Xiang Ren feel like he is facing a formidable enemy.

"Mountain Moving and Foundation Building are dead. Let's leave quickly."

Li Xiangren carefully collected Li Dong's head and gave the instructions.

What about Sang-woo?

Li Xiangru asked.

“Since Xiang Yu has already been exposed at the mine, he has nothing to do with our operation. He went there to support the mine, and we have been staying at home and have never been here.”

After Xiang Ren gave a few brief instructions, the Li family members quickly checked for any omissions, disguised themselves, and withdrew from Daishan in batches.

Yuquanling resembles a giant dragon, lying across the border between Daibei and Dainan.

Its body rises and falls, stretching endlessly, like a splashed-ink landscape painting, eternally spread across the earth.

Nestled in the river valley north of the mountains is a magnificent camp.

Regardless of day or night, the array surrounding the camp constantly rotates, emitting layers of light waves that shine brilliantly.

Under the light waves, dozens of cultivators were busy working, creating a tense atmosphere.

Every now and then, streaks of light would flash by, like shooting stars, disappearing in an instant.

What's wrong with the Soul Suppressing Sect?

In a barracks within the stronghold, a young cultivator in his early twenties looked around and couldn't help but ask, "A war, what else could it be?"

Beside him, a burly man with a full beard spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"Fight? With whom?"

The young monk asked instinctively.

"Have you gone mad from sleeping on a woman's belly? It must be Sheng Yimen!"

The burly cultivator glanced at the young cultivator with disdain.

Both were independent cultivators who came south from Qingshui County in search of opportunities, and by chance they ended up together.

However, the two were unlucky; they dug up several cultivators' graves, only to find them all empty.

Those damned local cultivators from Puxian have robbed every single tomb here.

Left with no other choice, the two wandered around aimlessly, only to be conscripted by the Zhenhun Sect when they arrived at Daishan.

At first, the two were extremely resistant, because war means death, especially in a war where the forces are evenly matched.

Who isn't afraid of death?

But soon, the two discovered that the war between the Soul Suppressing Sect and the Victory Intent Sect was not as intense as they had imagined.

Now, both factions have built positions at Yuquanling, focusing on defense, and large-scale team battles are becoming less and less frequent.

As the two continued to mingle, they accumulated considerable merit in battle, and even their cultivation levels improved further.

In this way, the two of them naturally enjoyed it.
Anyway, hunting demons in the mountains is just as dangerous.

The gains were far less than those from Yuquanling Camp.

The only thing that displeased the burly man with stubble was that his companions had become quite lax in the past few months, frequently visiting brothels in the camp, and their cooperation with him on the battlefield was not as good as before.

The young cultivator scratched his head awkwardly: "Of course I know about the attack on Shengyi Sect, but haven't we been fighting all along? Is there any need for such a big commotion all of a sudden?"

"It seems you haven't been gathering any information these past few days."

The burly man with stubble snorted coldly: "Someone from the Soul Suppressing Sect has died. A second-tier array master has died."

"Second-level formation master?"

The young cultivator gasped; he probably had no idea what it meant to fight a mage before.

But since arriving at Jade Spring Ridge, he has come to understand that array masters are crucial to either side in the war.

The value of a second-tier array master can even rival that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator; in certain situations, it may even surpass it.

The young cultivator hurriedly asked, "Isn't the Soul Suppressing Sect going crazy with worry?"

"What do you say?"

The burly man with stubble asked a question in return, then wiped his magical artifact.

He knew far more than that; he knew more than just that the Soul Suppressing Sect had lost its array masters.

Even the Mountain Moving Sect lost a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Moving Mountain Sect has always been a staunch follower of the Soul Suppressing Sect, and in recent years it has also made numerous contributions in the war against the Victory Intent Sect.

The death of one Foundation Establishment cultivator is equivalent to the loss of one Foundation Establishment cultivator for the Soul Suppressing Sect.

Combined, the anger of the Soul Suppressing Sect was like a tsunami, ready to erupt.

Of course, it is still undetermined who is targeting the Soul Suppressing Sect.

Most people believe it was the work of the Shengyi Sect, because some people have seen traces of Shengyi Sect disciples.

Some people are skeptical, finding the whole thing too suspicious.

To kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator who has moved mountains, the Shengyi Sect would need to send at least one or even several Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the Zhenhun Sect's spies are keeping a close eye on these Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many people have alibis.

Regardless of the truth, the Soul Suppressing Sect cannot afford to investigate slowly. They urgently need a "real culprit" to give an explanation to their disciples and all affiliated forces.

And Shengyimen, their arch-rival, was undoubtedly the best outlet for their frustrations.

A large-scale war between the two factions is now inevitable.
