Chapter 2045 1491: Completion (2)
"You all must always remember: we are the invading side, while they are the native life of this realm. In essence, they are just as much our enemies!"
"Right now, they are simply no match for the Devil Race, and for the sake of survival, they have to cooperate with us. But once the Devil Race is taken care of, their identity may very well switch instantly!"
This warning instead made the clan members tense up again.
"Ancestor, rather than having to guard against the local human race stabbing us in the back, why not simply avoid cooperating with them from the beginning? As you said, their strength is feeble anyway." one clan member asked, full of doubts.
"Yes, Ancestor, this obviously complicates matters a lot."
Many clan members echoed their agreement immediately.
Li Xianxun nodded; the fact that they thought of this showed they had truly taken his words to heart.
But this was the family's arrangement, and the human race of this realm still played an important role.
"Their function is not limited to that. This is also a family experiment, and once the main force of the Devil Race is drawn out by us, they can strike at the Devil Race's territory from behind, greatly weakening their power."
The clan members reluctantly accepted the idea. Once everything was explained and arranged, everyone prepared to enter the Primordial Beast Realm.
The clan members moved in an orderly fashion through the spatial fissure. As the world spun wildly around them, they arrived in the Primordial Beast Realm of the Outer World, a place full of suppression and rejection!
When they opened their eyes and saw clearly what lay before them, they realized they were in an extremely spacious cavern.
"This is a temporary camp. So everyone's first task is to build a defense-solid encampment, large enough to house the incoming masses of loose cultivators."
At Li Xianxun's command, the clan members sprang into action.
The spot chosen by the Li family was extremely ideal. For thousands of miles around, there were very few Devil Beasts, giving them a prime environment for construction.
And, with tens of thousands of cultivators working together, a camp covering more than two hundred miles was erected from nothing in just a few days!
Moreover, this camp was not empty: not only was a Mountain Protection Array set up, but numerous buildings were constructed inside to allow themselves and loose cultivators to rest and recover.
With this fortress-like camp, the invaders now had a place to shield them from the elements.
Not long after, the first wave of loose cultivators entered the Primordial Beast Realm.
And the Li family's cooperation with the local human race, along with the necessary precautions, had already been posted on the message board, right beside the spatial fissure—impossible to miss upon arrival.
With so many loose cultivators coming in waves, if Li Xianxun had to explain this to every group himself, he'd do nothing else but squat at the fissure all day.
"Never thought the Li family would work with native life of this realm, weakening their power for the Heavenly Dao of the Primal Spirit Realm to invade."
"If this method proves reliable, then future invasions of the Otherworld may not be so perilous."
The loose cultivators weren't stupid—they saw through the hidden meaning in all this.
"May all of you achieve martial glory and return safely!"
It wasn't just loose cultivators; a great number of Li family cultivators also left the camp, preparing to engage in their first large-scale invasion battle against the Devil Race of the realm!
Tens of thousands of cultivators—some riding magical treasures, some walking unaided, others astride spirit beasts—flew through the skies, dazzling and vibrant.
Wherever they passed, Devil Beasts were slaughtered; the speed was such that none even managed to send word out.
"Kill!"
When the cultivators encountered the first large gathering place of the Devil Race, fierce killing intent broke out immediately. Someone shouted, and attacks of every kind rained down, striking the utterly unprepared Devil Beasts.
"Aaaah!"
Screams echoed without pause, and countless Devil Beasts lost their lives on the spot.
Within mere moments of battle erupting, the area was strewn with severed limbs and corpses, blood and flesh everywhere—one glance was enough to see the carnage.
Having seized the initiative, the cultivators wasted no time, intent on expanding their advantage and wiping out the Devil Beasts in front of them.
The cultivators' attacks grew ever fiercer, but as time passed, the Devil Race's defenses improved and casualties lessened.
Sadly, the Devil Beasts in disadvantage lacked the strength to turn the tides. All they could do for now was barely fend for themselves.
But they had sent out calls for help to other Devil Race strongholds. As soon as reinforcements arrived, their chance at reversing defeat would come!
But clearly, the cultivator side had seen through their plan; their attacks became even more ferocious, striving to obliterate the Devil Beasts before aid could arrive.
Roar!
Several Human Immortal Realm Devil Beasts flew out, hoping to use their powerful strength to slow down the cultivators' assault and buy more time.
"Perfect! I've been waiting for you lot to crawl out of your shells!"
Wan Qingxuan, mingling within the crowd, couldn't help rejoicing at the sight. He shouted loudly and transformed into a streak of sword light, rushing straight ahead.
By the looks of him, he aimed to take on four or five Devil Beasts single-handedly.
Had this been the Primal Spirit Realm, with his power unobstructed, Wan Qingxuan could indeed have managed it easily.
But this was the Primordial Beast Realm, where his power was greatly suppressed!
Thus Wan Qingxuan not only failed to deal with all the Devil Beasts, he even landed himself in danger.
In the end, it was the Li family who sent out two Earth Immortal realm cultivators to help. After slaying two Devil Beasts, they managed to bring him back safely.
"Your skills are formidable, but don't act too rashly." Li Xianxun did not recognize him, and thus thought nothing more of it.
Wan Qingxuan felt a bit vexed. He only appeared to be entangled by the Devil Beasts, temporarily unable to break free; he wasn't truly trapped.
Now that someone had helped him out, whatever the reason, for whatever cause, he owed a favor.
...
The flower blooms two branches—each tells its own tale.
Outside, on Mount Wanxian, inside a certain cave mansion.
"Finally finished organizing!"
Li Zhirui looked down at the piles of jade slips that seemed casually tossed before him, glanced at the jade slip in his hand, and waved his hand, collecting them all.
The jade slips on the ground were not useless or discarded, but simply had their space used up and were put aside. As more and more jade slips were expended, it naturally looked increasingly chaotic.
