Patriarch is Taking Concubines Again!

Chapter 67:



These demon cultivators didn’t seem exceptionally formidable. From Li Su’s estimation, they were likely at the Foundation Establishment stage.

“There’s probably more than just these few,” Li Su speculated. In his assessment, the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Palace might not have accompanied this expedition. Over the years, the Heaven Demon Palace had likely narrowed down the general area but still lacked knowledge about who possessed the Sacred Command. Consequently, these individuals were probably dispatched as potent Golden Core cultivators to gather information. Once they acquired more concrete intelligence, the Holy Maiden of the Heaven Demon Palace would likely make her move.

Even if the enemy arrived, given Li Su’s current cultivation level, he might still be able to escape into the Great Expansive Sword Formation. So upon arriving, he took immediate action, regardless of whether the enemy remained hidden – his goal was to lure them out.

He suppressed his cultivation to the early Golden Core stage and started capturing them individually.

“Uh-oh,” the demon cultivators in hiding were shocked as Li Su apprehended them successively.

“A Golden Core cultivator! Haha, fortune is on my side!”

From a remarkably concealed formation, a two-meter-tall demon cultivator burst into laughter. Around him stood more than ten demon cultivators, mostly at the Foundation Establishment and Energy Refinement stages, but one of them exuded an imposing aura. Two Golden Core cultivators!

The one who charged forward possessed an exceptionally formidable presence, and according to Li Su’s assessment, he might have reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. It was no surprise that the Heaven Demon Palace had launched the attack on the city right from the beginning with two Golden Core cultivators, one at the peak of the stage. They probably carried numerous magical treasures, and even if the Flying Immortal Sect had a Nascent Soul cultivator, they could easily withdraw while lurking in the shadows.

Upon seeing the peak Golden Core cultivator, Li Su didn’t hesitate and swiftly retreated.

“Do you think you can escape?” The peak Golden Core cultivator snorted and pursued him, launching an attack.

“Boom!”

A blood-red lightning bolt shot towards Li Su, but due to the distance, Li Su managed to evade it. The cultivator’s true energy vibrated, doubling his speed, yet Li Su’s speed increased accordingly.

“Concealing your true strength? Humph, it won’t change the outcome. You can’t escape!”

The peak Golden Core demon cultivator sensed something unusual but didn’t pay it much attention. Given Li Su’s proficiency in formations, if the Great Expansive Sword Formation had been laid but not activated, it was unlikely that this peak Golden Core cultivator would have detected any abnormalities. Even a more cautious Nascent Soul cultivator might only perceive subtle irregularities.

Nevertheless, the Great Expansive Sword Formation wasn’t only suitable for ambushes. The formation could be deployed during combat if one side had sufficient strength to hold off the other. That was how the previous array master had set it up, after all.

The peak Golden Core demon cultivator attacked confidently. Seeing his opponent make a move, Li Su no longer concealed his strength and released his full aura, indicating he was at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.

“Who cares how strong you think you are? Just a Golden Core cultivator at the eighth level!” The demon cultivator burst into laughter.

But as they engaged in battle, he soon found himself unable to laugh anymore because Li Su was proving to be a formidable adversary despite being at the eighth level of the Golden Core stage. This was inconceivable. He was a peak Golden Core cultivator with numerous formidable techniques.

In no time, another Golden Core stage demon cultivator arrived.

“Quick, help me! This guy is really strong,” the peak Golden Core demon cultivator called out.

The other Golden Core stage demon cultivator rushed into the fray while the other demon cultivators behind them fanned out to stay on alert.

Recognizing that these demon cultivators were trapped, Li Su didn’t waste time and activated the Great Expansive Sword Formation.

His first-grade Golden Core indeed wielded substantial power. Even the peak Golden Core demon cultivator struggled to match him. However, preventing the enemy from escaping was challenging, so he eliminated them directly.

In the next instant, the scenery in the area underwent a dramatic transformation.

“This is bad, it’s a formation!”

The peak Golden Core demon cultivator sensed something was amiss and desperately attempted to break through the formation to escape. But Li Su wouldn’t allow him to get away. The Great Expansive Sword Formation was fully activated after momentarily delaying the peak Golden Core demon cultivator.

Li Su vanished, and countless sword shadows materialized all around. The faces of all the demon cultivators turned ashen.

“Curse it all, you will better release me, or when the Holy Maiden arrives, you’ll all pay with your lives!”

Soon, on the flying vessel, the voice of the peak Golden Core demon cultivator echoed. His condition was pitiable – his body was now only half intact, and he had very little true energy left. He was completely restrained and bound by Li Su. Besides him, the other Golden Core stage demon cultivator had also been captured alive. Li Su’s control over the Great Expansive Sword Formation was considerably improved this time.

The ability to manipulate the sword formation allowed Li Su to spare some of them. Of course, during the earlier encounter, Li Su hadn’t intended to spare the Nascent Soul demon cultivator. His initial intent had been total annihilation.

These individuals frequently invoked the name of the Holy Maiden, indicating that aside from her formidable cultivation, she might possess some peculiar qualities.

Li Su didn’t engage in conversation with the demon cultivator and instead silenced him with a gesture. The flying vessel continued its course towards the Flying Immortal Sect.

After a while, they neared the sect, and Li Su noticed that its protective formation was active but not concealed.

“Elder Li, the Sect Masters of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Seven Stars Valley have arrived and are ready to join forces against the demon cultivators,” a disciple reported upon entering the Flying Immortal Sect.

The leaders of the Radiant Sun Sect and the Seven Stars Valley had come. No wonder the Flying Immortal Sect hadn’t concealed their protective formation. In the cultivation world, demon cultivators were universally detested. Imagine dedicating his entire life to cultivation, only to have someone who hadn’t cultivated at all watch his progress and then, at his peak, capture him and refine him into a pill to boost their cultivation. Would he be willing?

So, except in regions where demon cultivators held sway, any appearance of demon cultivators prompted a united front against them.

The disciple concluded his report and cast a curious glance at the individuals bound behind Li Su. One of them had lost his lower body and was dragged by Li Su with a rope. This individual’s eyes were resentful, and he desperately tried to speak, but his mouth couldn’t open.

“If he could speak, I’m sure he would have much to say,” the foundational stage disciple remarked.

“They are the demon cultivators,” Li Su replied simply.

The disciple was shocked.

“What!”
