Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Chapter 1031 Rumors
When Li Zhirui stepped out of the teleportation array, he caught a glimpse of several monks with terrified and slightly angry expressions. They activated a talisman that looked to be of extremely high grade and flew away. It looked like something big was happening.

'Have they discovered that secret base and have I robbed it?'

Li Zhirui's heart tightened, but his face remained calm and he didn't show any sign of it.

If you think about it carefully, it is quite normal. After all, when entering the secret realm after hundreds of years, you must check the growth status of the spiritual objects, either pick them or replant them.

Maybe they had discovered it a long time ago, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the monks, they did not activate the teleportation array in advance and waited until today.

However, they must have told the monks who were guarding the formation, because when Li Zhirui entered the formation, he keenly sensed some inquiring gazes and the breath of spirit beasts.

Li Zhirui did not continue to think about this matter. Anyway, it was impossible to find out that he was the one who did it, unless all the monks who entered the secret realm were arrested and interrogated one by one.

But if they really did it in such a grand manner, wouldn't that be telling all the monks that there was a huge secret hidden here? I don't think those big forces would do such a stupid thing.

Li Zhirui will enter the secret realm, remove the tens of thousands of high-level spiritual creatures and the 20% of the five elements' essences, and hand them over to the monks guarding the formation. Then he will set off for the immortal city closest to the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, waiting for the secret realm to open tomorrow.

But what he didn't know was how much of a shock the exposure of the secret base and the looting of all the spiritual objects caused among the major forces.

"Who did this? Why didn't anyone notice this?"

Those are tens of thousands of high-level spiritual creatures. Even if they are immortals, they would still feel distressed.

"Reporting to the elder, after the incident in the Five-Colored Secret Realm occurred, we immediately strengthened our vigilance and arranged a large number of spirit beasts and detection methods in the teleportation array. That group of daring monks will definitely not be able to escape!" A Mahayana monk hurriedly bowed and replied.

They all agreed that it was a gang crime. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to carry tens of thousands of empty jade boxes and tens of thousands of spirit-sealing talismans. Moreover, according to investigation, the spiritual soil that was turned out was all created within two days.

Such a large-scale spiritual object would be very easy to find even if it was divided among several people!

Coupled with the rare and unpopular Thousand-Powder Flower, there is absolutely no way they can escape from the secret realm.

"Humph!"

An elder snorted coldly and said, "They are indeed very bold, but they are definitely not stupid! Since they dared to take away all the spiritual objects, they are definitely not afraid of being discovered. Maybe they have already left the secret realm."

When those Mahayana monks heard this, they broke out in cold sweats. They really hadn't thought so much about it.

"Okay, let's think about how to deal with what's next."

The head of the sect at the top asked, "Ask the master mechanic if he has figured out anything?"

"No, Master said that the man's divine power was obscured by a thick fog, and he couldn't dispel it."

Another elder said, "Master, do you think it's possible that those newly promoted immortal realm forces were behind this?"

They vaguely knew some relevant information, or many forces had some intelligence, but it was not accurate enough and they could not find any evidence.

They wanted to join in, but were rejected by the existing forces because no one wanted to see their gains reduced.

Maybe he holds a grudge against me and takes action in secret.

And this time, they happened to discover it.

This statement does make sense and can explain many things clearly.

"But they shouldn't be that strong enough to hide from Master Wenji who used the Heavenly Chapter Nine Calculations, right?"

This is a treasure of heavenly secrets that has been passed down in the sect for tens of thousands of years, and it is also the work of a great immortal who specializes in the art of deduction. It is impossible for those newly promoted immortals to hide the secrets from him.

"Go ask other forces if they have deduced any intelligence." The leader frowned. If that were the case, then the only forces that could do this would be those of the same level, or some force that was lucky enough to have obtained a treasure that could conceal the secrets of heaven.

But they could never have imagined that the one who took away those tens of thousands of spiritual creatures was just a combined cultivator as small as an ant!

Just as the major forces were frequently contacting and testing each other because of the loss of spiritual objects, the "culprit" had already entered another secret realm.

"There is a large secret base in the Five Colors Secret Realm, so will there be one in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm as well?"

At this moment, a hint of greed arose in Li Zhirui's heart.

But he soon calmed down, because something had already happened and all the major forces would definitely step up their defenses, and he might very well put himself in danger because of his greed.

Besides, Li Zhirui didn’t know the location of the secret base. He was just lucky to have encountered it last time, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to find it.

If he spent several months searching, he might still find nothing in the end.

After giving up this idea, Li Zhirui began to look for the spiritual object honestly.

The Thousand Islands Secret Realm is like a vast ocean, with large and small islands scattered throughout it. On each island, there may be some precious spiritual creature, or it may be a ferocious monster.

The most dangerous place is the ocean! There are many monsters living in it, including some eighth-level monsters.

But it also gave birth to a large number of spiritual creatures, more and richer than those on the island!
However, except for those who have strong confidence in their own strength, ordinary cultivators dare not go into the water. Anyway, the spiritual creatures on the island are not bad, and there is no need to lose their lives for a few spiritual creatures.

Li Zhirui didn't really want to take risks.

If he had not obtained those tens of thousands of high-level spiritual creatures, he might have dived into the sea to look for spiritual creatures, but now, there is no need for that.

As the saying goes, everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme!
Li Zhirui felt that his luck could not always remain in a good state. Maybe it was at a low point now. It would be better to be cautious.

With this thought in mind, Li Zhirui was very cautious in his subsequent actions and did not dare to act impulsively.

But even so, Li Zhirui still encountered danger several times.

Li Zhirui spent a lot of time to defeat the cultivator who was ambushing him beside a seventh-level spiritual object. Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several rays of spiritual light flying from a distance.

Then they actually landed in front of him, revealing the figures of six combined monks.

One of them was seriously injured, and the remaining five surrounded him and Li Zhirui.

"So there are companions! But do you think you can be rescued like this? I tell you, stop dreaming! Hand over the treasure quickly!" A ferocious-looking monk shouted, his eyes full of murderous intent, and attacked the two without hesitation.

"My fellow Daoist, I accidentally obtained an eighth-level green water dragon ball. As long as you are willing to save me, this dragon ball will belong to you." While struggling to resist, the man shouted loudly, hoping that Li Zhirui would save him for the sake of the treasure.

"It's really a disaster that comes from the sky." Li Zhirui didn't expect that he would encounter danger while picking spiritual objects honestly. Seeing the attack about to hit him, he had to defend himself.

He was still very interested in the Jade Water Dragon Ball mentioned by this person. If Xiao Cang could refine it, his dragon bloodline would be further improved, and maybe it could directly reach the eighth level. So he said, "Give me the Dragon Ball first, and I will protect you."

"This……"

The monk hesitated. It was the first time they had met, and there was no trust between them. He was worried that if he gave the dragon ball to Li Zhirui in advance, he would abandon him and leave with the dragon ball. "I can promise you that as long as you can save me, I will give you the dragon ball as a thank you after the matter is done."

Li Zhirui just looked at him without saying anything.

It was obvious that Li Zhirui had no intention of giving in and did not make any promises.

Li Zhirui could understand that the other party had concerns, but he also had his own considerations in this regard, and the initiative was in his hands, so why should he give in?
If you believe me, then help me. If you don’t believe me, then just leave. I believe that the five monks on the opposite side will not try to stop you.

"Okay." The cultivator, who was at an absolute disadvantage, had no room for judgment and could only agree and send the dragon ball to Li Zhirui.

It seemed that the two men negotiated for a long time, but in fact it was only a few moments, and the defenses they imposed had not been broken.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the deal between the two, the leading monk was very angry, because it meant that Li Zhirui would officially join the war and would be his opponent.

In order to obtain those precious treasures, let alone Li Zhirui fighting alone, even if there were a few more cultivators, he would not give up.

"Why are you still standing there? Get started, quickly take care of both of them!"

Rumbling--

The five monks showed no mercy and used killing moves as soon as they attacked, and the sky and the earth changed color.

Li Zhirui felt the terrifying oppression around him. His expression was solemn and he madly used his magic power to perform defensive magic while also summoning the Thousand Spirits Defense.

Click!

The attack hit the double layer of defense and was barely able to hold on.

Li Zhirui did not hesitate any longer and immediately mobilized the power of the cave to enhance his own combat power, because he could not defeat these five cultivators alone.

"You should take this time to recover."

Li Zhirui reminded: "I may not be able to hold on for long. If my life is really threatened, I will choose to escape immediately instead of staying to protect you."

What he said before was just protection, and there was no specific time limit, so when it was time for Li Zhirui to leave, he would definitely not stay.

But before that, Li Zhirui still kept his promise and did his best to protect the injured monk.

"What's going on? His strength has become so much stronger in an instant!"

The monk's expression changed slightly, but he did not give up. Instead, he summoned his own magical weapon, a spiritual sword emitting a strong murderous aura, and slashed at Li Zhirui fiercely.

Clang!
Qian Ling, who looked fragile, actually blocked the attack without any damage.

Li Zhirui held out for half an hour under the joint attack of five combined monks, but in the end he was really powerless.

This battle was really frustrating for Li Zhirui.

Because he had to protect the monk who was recovering from his injuries, he couldn't devote himself to the battle and could only do some interference, which led to him being on the passive defense all the time.

"My magic power is about to run out, so whether you can escape next depends on your own ability!"

More than half an hour was enough for him to recover a lot of magic power, and Li Zhirui felt that he had tried his best. If he still couldn't escape, it couldn't be Li Zhirui's fault.

After finally holding on for a moment and the other party responded, Li Zhirui took back Qian Ling without hesitation and disappeared in full view of everyone.

"Why do people disappear?"

If the injured monk had some means, he would not have been hunted for so long.

He took advantage of the moment when the men were distracted and actually ran away.

"Damn it! Catch up with him quickly, don't let him get away!" the monk shouted angrily.

Several rays of spiritual light streaked across the sky, chasing the monk at the fastest speed.

in space.

"After a frustrating battle, I got an eighth-level dragon ball. This deal is a very good deal." Li Zhirui admired the dragon ball in his hand.

After admiring it, he sealed it up and returned to Wanxian Mountain to give it to Xiao Cang to refine it and enhance his dragon bloodline.

……

In the following time, Li Zhirui encountered a series of crises, such as being chased by three monks and falling into a trap set by a monster while collecting spiritual objects.

It was precisely because of these frequent accidents that Li Zhirui had no time to collect spiritual objects, so that his final harvest was mediocre.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day for the teleportation array to be opened again.

Li Zhirui did not gain much in the past few months, but his guess was confirmed that his luck was indeed at a low point during this period.

But now it is slowly returning to normal.

Although Li Zhirui did not find many spiritual objects in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, he disclosed a piece of news in hiding the day before the teleportation array was about to open.

That is, there is a mysterious area in the secret realm, where many high-level spiritual creatures are planted. As long as you can find this place, you don’t have to worry about insufficient resources for cultivation before becoming an immortal.

If it was just a rumor, there wouldn't be many monks who would believe it, so Li Zhirui produced strong evidence!

He used ten eighth-level spiritual creatures as bait to increase the reliability of the rumors.

The reason why Li Zhirui chose to do this before the teleportation array was opened was naturally because he was worried that they would be caught in a trap. In order to find out the truth and find him, they would seal off the Thousand Islands Secret Realm.

If those big forces really did this, then he would be in great danger.

So in order to ensure his own safety, Li Zhirui chose this time point.

He didn't think that with only a few days left, those monks who believed the rumors would find the secret base. Li Zhirui's goal was to spread this matter through them.

Because many times, when the situation is chaotic, there will be more opportunities.

Before Li Zhirui stepped onto the teleportation array, he thought to himself, "By now, some cultivators should have discovered the rumors and the eighth-level elixir I left behind. I wonder if they will believe it, and what choice they will make."
