Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2112 1526: Action

"Those two intruders are definitely not accidentally entering the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm; they have a premeditated plan!"

Previously, some might have held onto a sliver of hope, but after this incident, it has become clear that those two harbor ill intentions and are up to something nefarious.

"We must seize the opportunity while one of them is injured, and not yet familiar with the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm, at their most vulnerable, to find them!" said Guo Mingrong, the leading Heavenly Immortal, with a grave expression.

"Exactly! Those outer realm intruders are never up to any good, perhaps even acting as the vanguard sent by other Great Thousand Worlds," another Heavenly Immortal immediately echoed.

This conversation left everyone feeling increasingly anxious, uneasy, and angry, as though they could see the Ten Thousand Rivers Realm engulfed in flames of war, the entire world teetering on the brink of collapse.

"But without being able to determine their whereabouts, what should we do next?"

"In this situation, the simplest approach is to send people in every direction that shows signs of them! Even if their power is suppressed and they are injured, a single person can entangle them until we arrive."

This isn't exactly a great plan, more a last resort, hoping to find Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang through a carpet search.

Many actually feel this approach isn't reliable, but unable to think of anything better, they silently accept it.

Quickly, Guo Mingrong assigned the search direction for each person.

"If that's the case, then let's take action!"

After speaking, he flew off in one direction immediately.

As for why he's so eager, of course, it's to claim the greatest merit in this matter, thereby earning a reward from the Heavenly Dao and further enhancing his cultivation.

The other Heavenly Immortal Cultivators, seeing this, could only follow closely, searching carefully in their assigned directions.

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui, who had been to the Otherworld several times, thought more comprehensively and left no useful clues.

On the contrary, the straw figures he had crafted misled Guo Mingrong and the others multiple times, leading them on wild chases with no results.

The consequence was that, after a round of searching, everyone returned to their previous spot with gloomy faces.

There was no need to ask; just by looking at each other's faces, they knew the others had the same outcome.

"Taoist Brother Guo, those two thieves are too cunning, leaving no traces at all. What should we do now?"

Called out, Guo Mingrong's expression darkened even further. However, having taken the lead, he couldn't back down upon encountering an issue now.

The problem is, he couldn't think of a response himself!

After a long silence, displaying a particularly solemn expression, he said, "Those two thieves are likely now a force to be reckoned with, too much for just a few of us to handle, so we should invite fellow Daoists to discuss together."

In essence, his intention was to drag things out! As more Heavenly Immortals got involved, he'd be less conspicuous.

Guo Mingrong realized the situation was tricky, so he stopped fantasizing about claiming great merit and began to think about preserving himself.

Hearing his words, a trace of disdain and mockery flashed in everyone's eyes, but they didn't articulate it, simply saying, "Taoist Brother Guo speaks the truth, let us contact our sects, families, and friends to invite them here to discuss how to deal with those two intruders."

He naturally sensed the change in attitude towards him from others, feeling angry but knowing it was his own problem. Venting now would only invite ridicule, so he pretended nothing was wrong.

Soon, streams of Spirit Light flew from everyone's hands, contacting Heavenly Immortals far and wide, asking them to bring many low-level cultivators.

The purpose was simple: since the intruders had excellent concealment skills, by laying down a net, searching inch by inch, they believed they would find the two intruders.

But they missed a crucial point!

The net-casting method was indeed good, with a high chance of finding the targets under normal circumstances.

However, they hadn't sealed the area, and Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang were not immobile objects; wouldn't they realize the danger and escape the encirclement?

...

On the other side.

Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang knew nothing of the actions of This Realm's creatures.

They were hiding in a hollow inside the body of an ancient tree, one focusing on healing, the other restoring mana.

Li Zhirui, who wasn't injured, was the first to open his eyes, cautiously releasing his Divine Sense to check if any creatures of This Realm had passed by.

The results pleased him as there were no traces of any cultivators nearby.

"It seems we can stay here a bit longer."

He planned to leave the place with Fu Chengguang once he recovered, find a new area to hide, then find a way to contact the creatures of This Realm, and quickly learn about this world.

While he didn't expect to fully integrate into it, he hoped at least to conceal their distinct outer realm aura, to avoid clashing too much with this world.

Any gains they sought would have to wait until everything stabilized.

Within a few days, with the help of pills, Fu Chengguang quickly recovered from his injuries.
