Chapter 501 -507: The Pursuit
If even Li Zhiyue can’t make a breakthrough, then for at least the next fifty years, the Li family won’t be able to produce another Nascent Soul cultivator!
Li Zhiyue suddenly felt an immense pressure bearing down on her.
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best,” Li Zhirui said, noticing her unease and immediately trying to soothe her.
“I know,” she said. But in her heart, Li Zhiyue hadn’t relaxed at all.
After returning to her cave dwelling, Li Zhiyue began her seclusion to comprehend the Nascent Soul Skill and the insights for the breakthrough, showing no intention of leaving seclusion until she made it.
Even though Li Zhiyue had braced herself, when she saw the content, she still felt dizzy and had trouble understanding many parts without Li Zhirui’s annotations.
Even so, Li Zhiyue estimated that it would take her several years at least to fully grasp the two thin Jade Slips!
While there had been no news from Li Zhiyue’s side, another clan member had brought a pleasant surprise to the family.
Li Chenglin had actually made a successful breakthrough outside!
When he returned to Wanxian Island with his Golden Core cultivation, he drew the attention of countless clan members, who came forward to ask about his experience.
It was Li Shiqing’s summoning that saved him; otherwise, faced with the enthusiastic clan members, Li Chenglin had no idea when he would have been able to get away.
—-
Just a few hundred miles away from Wanxian Island, Green Mountain State, which the Li family regards as a place for their members to gain experience.
Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo, looking somewhat bedraggled, emerged from the woods. It wasn’t that they had encountered any danger, but that they had stayed in the Green Mountain Range for too long.
Maybe it was just their bad luck that, no sooner had they left the mountain range than they ran into a huge thunderstorm.
In such conditions, the two didn’t dare to navigate their Spirit Boat and could only seek shelter in a cave.
“Who knows how long this rain will last.” Right now, Li Chengshuo couldn’t wait to get back to Wanxian Island, but the storm had trapped them here, and he was extremely annoyed.
“Silence!”
Li Chengsheng, who had been indifferent, suddenly became serious and without any hesitation, activated two third-grade Invisibility Talismans and stuck them on themselves.
‘What’s going on?’ Li Chengshuo was puzzled, but trusting his brother, he didn’t resist and only asked quizzically.
Li Chengsheng didn’t reply to his telepathic question, but instead, his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, looking very vigilant.
“Seriously! Even if there are urgent matters to discuss, there’s no need to run to the edge of the mountain range, right?” a voice complained impatiently: “And now there’s a torrential downpour, forcing us to hide awkwardly in this cave that belonged to who-knows-what animal.”
“The recent actions of the Holy Sect have revealed quite a few blunders,” said another voice, very calmly: “Haven’t you noticed that there have been quite a few unfamiliar faces around you these days?”
Just this bit of conversation made Li Chengsheng and his sister’s hearts skip a beat.
Because the term ‘Holy Sect’ is only used by Demon Cultivators!
Without a doubt, these two were Demon Cultivators.
“Alright, alright, I can’t argue with you,” continued the impatient voice, “Once the higher-ups of the Spiritual Cloud Sect also fall into our hands, then Green Mountain State will be ours!”
Upon hearing this statement, Li Chengshuo and his companion were terrified. Even if they racked their brains, they would never have imagined that among the three major powers in Green Mountain State, the Mysterious Fire Fan Family and Wood Spirit Sect had fallen under the control of Demon Cultivators!
Li Chengsheng thought even further. Considering just the number of Golden Core cultivators, the Fan Family and the Wood Spirit Sect had even more than the Li family. To control two major powers so quietly, there must have been Nascent Soul Realm Demon Cultivators involved.
“Be careful, we can’t have any slip-ups in the final step!”
Otherwise, not only will their previous arrangements be in vain, but it would also implicate the Holy Sect. Most importantly, their own lives would be at risk.
“Don’t worry. When I handle things, you can rest assured!”
The person spoke with full confidence, “I have already thought of a method. By using the excuse of joining forces to counter the Li family and Shen Leishan, we will invite the higher-ups of the Spiritual Cloud Sect to discuss this matter. While they are completely unprepared, we will take them down with a swift and decisive strike!”
“Hmm, not bad!” Another Demon Cultivator thought highly of the plan and nodded in satisfaction.
“Once we successfully take control of Green Mountain State, we will be hailed as the greatest contributors. At that time, the Holy Sect will surely reward us handsomely. Perhaps we can even use this opportunity to advance further!”
“Hahahaha!” Thinking of the bright future ahead, the Demon Cultivator couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.
Outside the cave, the rain poured down in torrents, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
And because of this, Li Chengsheng and Li Chengshuo found themselves in a predicament!
The third-level Invisibility Talisman would soon lose its effect!
Even though Li Chengsheng still had Invisibility Talismans at hand, he couldn’t use them as the surge of Spiritual Energy when activating a talisman would immediately nullify the ones on their bodies.
With the strength of the two at the Foundation Establishment Realm, confronting two Golden Core Demon Cultivators would be tantamount to seeking death.
“I’ll count to three, and then we’ll both activate the Earth Escape Talisman and leave this place. After we escape, don’t linger in Green Mountain State; let’s meet up directly with the family!” Li Chengsheng communicated through a Messaging Artifact.
“Okay!”
“One, two, three!”
Before the words had completely fallen, Li Chengsheng didn’t activate the talisman as he had said. Instead, he waited a moment before activating the Earth Escape Talisman in his palm.
Li Chengsheng did this mainly to draw the attention of the two Demon Cultivators to himself, creating a better chance for Li Chengshuo to escape.
“Not good!”
“Damn it! How are there Cultivators in this cave!”
As the two siblings left one after another, the two Demon Cultivators were both shocked and furious. Without even thinking, they knew that everything they had just discussed had been overheard by those two little Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
If the news were to leak, the Spiritual Cloud Sect would definitely be on guard, and what’s more, their whole scheme would be revealed to everyone!
And neither the Li family nor Shen Leishan would tolerate Green Mountain State falling into the hands of Demon Cultivators.
After all, the region was blessed with the Green Mountain Range, a place suitable for low-level Cultivators to train and rich in resources.
If Cultivators occupied it, their families could still send disciples and kin to share in the spoils, but if it became a domain of Demon Cultivators, they would be completely cut off from the resources of the Green Mountain Range!
This was a scenario both families were firmly against.

“Split up into two groups; we must catch them! At the same time, notify others, mobilize everyone!”
“What if they both escape?”
“We’ll have to make our move ahead of schedule and additionally contact the Holy Sect to request support!”
However, doing so would mean they could forget about receiving rewards from the Holy Sect. If they could avoid punishment by breaking even on their actions, that would be fortunate enough.
Through the use of valuable Messaging Artifacts, news of the incident spread, informing all the high-ranking Demon Cultivators in Green Mountain State.
“Idiots!”
Some Demon Cultivators took pleasure in the misfortune of others, while others cursed vehemently.
The former were unconcerned with the incident, while the latter could not separate themselves from it.
Even if they were not the ones who had let the secret slip, as people responsible for the matter, they would not escape the punishment of the Holy Sect.
