Chapter 1127: Chapter 1121: The Sky Had Fallen
Similar scenes were playing out all across the Northern Border.
Wherever the Qiu Clan primarily resided, the figures of the Li Clan members could be seen.
They blended into the heavy snow and, taking advantage of the emptiness within the Qiu Clan’s defenses, suddenly launched their attacks.
There was no one who could resist them. It seemed that the Qiu Clan’s sphere of influence was completely transparent to the Li Clan members.
Within a certain city, dark clouds gathered densely, and thunder roared.
It was a land of wind and snow, yet a rare thunderstorm had occurred.
At this moment, Li Jianshu floated in the cloudy sky.
Facing three Nascent Soul realm cultivators from three major factions who had suddenly appeared in the city, Li Clan members stood atop the city’s buildings amidst the bizarre weather of mixed rain and snow.
These three Nascent Soul cultivators glared angrily at Li Jianshu.
The city had originally been peaceful, but suddenly many people had charged out, using techniques that fundamentally didn’t belong to the Northern Border.
These people were brimming with murderous intent and unparalleled excitement.
One of them shouted sternly, “Who are you? Do you think the Northern Border is a place where you can act so recklessly?”
This was merely putting up a strong front while being weak on the inside.
He didn’t dare to use his Dharmic Avatar in the slightest, much less attack Li Jianshu.
With thunder rolling in the cloudy sky, he had no idea what kind of cultivation method this person practiced, but his lightning arts were indistinguishable from Heavenly Tribulation!
Li Jianshu ignored him, merely glancing at the Qiu Clan’s Nascent Soul cultivator among them.
Having grown accustomed to killing evildoers in the Azure Cloud Prefecture, he clearly knew that talking nonsense was useless.
The other party would naturally understand the situation afterward.
Once you beat people into submission, they would have to hold in whatever anger they had.
If they truly refused to submit, then they could simply settle it with their skills.
Spreading his hands, lightning arcs crawled all over his body, and the thunder in his palms grew increasingly concentrated.
His resonant voice echoed from within the thunderclouds, causing the Qiu Clan members’ expressions to change drastically.
The Qiu clansmen in the city fled in terror in all directions.
“Kill the Qiu Clan! If anyone obstructs us, kill without pardon!”
“Yes!”
The Li Clan youths charged fiercely.
Amidst the thunderstorm, Li Jianshu turned into a streak of lightning, pursuing the Qiu Clan Nascent Soul cultivator who had instantly fled.
The opponent was truly quick-witted, fleeing without a moment’s hesitation.
The other two Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged a terrified glance, not daring to interfere.
When facing Li Jianshu at the same realm, who would dare to resist?
The Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation consisted of nine layers of heavenly lightning.
Had they not been struck enough by lightning during their nine-deaths-and-one-life breakthrough?
“The Li Clan… It’s the Azure Cloud Li Clan!” A Nascent Soul cultivator gritted his teeth.
He knew a little about the matters between the Qiu Clan and the Li Clan, but he never expected the Li Clan to send such a formidable expert without a word of warning.
In Li Jianshu’s eyes, where was there any room for philosophy.
Ever since Li Qiukong’s fall years ago, Li Jianshu had nothing left in his heart but cultivation, and he possessed his own standard of righteousness and evil.
The enemies of his family were ‘evil’; it was simply a matter of life and death.
…
“Elder, the grand array has been broken!”
“We don’t know where the enemies came from! At the foot of the mountain, halfway up the mountain, and even from underground… the Snow Mountain Grand Array has been broken!”
“It’s the Li Clan! We caught a Li Clan Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After all four of his limbs were severed, he didn’t say a word; he just kept smiling at me.
He’s like a ghost! I took his waist token, no… It’s their Li Clan’s Ancestral Spirit Tablet!”
“We can’t send any messages! Their Primordial Red Leaves have blocked our communications, and all the Snow Sparrows we sent out were shot down.”
“…”
On the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain stood the Qiu Clan’s Great Hall, which served as the core of their Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
At this moment, rocks and accumulated snow could be seen tumbling down the entire Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain.
Countless bursts of Spiritual power bombarded the massive mountain.
The grand array formations were continuously shattered, and Qiu clansmen could be seen resisting from all directions on the mountain.
Outside the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain, numerous cultivators were either riding flying swords, traveling on auspicious clouds, riding powerful demonic beasts, or standing atop spirit boats and spirit shuttles, each displaying their divine abilities.
Inside the Great Hall, Qiu clansmen hurried back and forth in terror.
The Azure Cloud Li Clan had attacked at the perfect time.
Just a day after the family’s experts had left, the Li Clan attacked without hesitation.
Outside the hall, the only ones left behind to guard the family were a mere three Divinity Transformation realm cultivators.
Among them was Qiu Anran, a man dressed in scholarly robes with a handsome and elegant appearance.
Qiu Anran’s aptitude was extraordinary.
Aside from the Qiu Clan’s ‘Snow Spirit’ bloodline, he had also luckily obtained the ‘Snow Qilin’ bloodline by chance.
He was the most highly anticipated genius the family had seen in thousands of years, and the family had poured immense resources into him.
Qiu Anran had never disappointed his clansmen.
He had been to the Demon Race battlefield, and whenever a Demon Emperor caused havoc in the Northern Border, they would inevitably leave their demon core in his hands.
Before Anran enters the Void Refining realm, who else in the Northern Border dares to claim the title of Heaven’s Chosen? This was the Qiu Clan’s evaluation of Qiu Anran.
Yet today, Qiu Anran displayed none of the demeanor of a Heaven’s Chosen.
He merely stared numbly at the continuously bombarded family arrays.
The clansmen beside him called out to him repeatedly, but he seemed deaf to their voices.
“Where did this disaster come from? Where did this disaster come from?”
Qiu Anran’s pale, thin lips trembled.
He, too, could feel the mournful cries transmitting through his bloodline.
All of this seemed to have happened in an instant, but he was certain that all the various branches of their Qiu Clan had met the exact same fate as the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain.
And right now, with the family’s internal defenses empty, the situation in other places would only be even worse than on the Immortal Mountain.
He didn’t know where these powerful experts had come from, or even… after years of secluded cultivation, he had only just learned about the friction between his family and the Li Clan.
The disaster of clan extermination had arrived without any warning.
The calls of his clansmen pierced his eardrums more and more loudly, forcing him to stiffly raise his head and look toward the cloudy sky.
Li clansmen stood atop the various demonic beasts raised by the Demon Suppression Li Clan.
The leaders at the forefront:
One of them acted like a street thug, pointing at the Immortal Mountain and cursing endlessly.
The Li Clan’s infamous playboy, Li Xinri.
Another had a complexion as pale as snow, sinister and ruthless eyes, slightly raised lips, and wore black clothes.
Li Xinjue of the Silver Moon Lineage.
There was a woman wearing a red leather robe and holding a long whip. She looked pure and beautiful, yet mostly arrogant and unruly, lifting her swan-like neck to look down disdainfully at the Qiu Clan Immortal Mountain.
The unruly woman of the Li Clan, Li Zhijing.
Another was a fatty, built like a wild boar, draped in gold and jade, stuffing handfuls of pills into his mouth.
Among all these Li clansmen, only one person suddenly gave Qiu Anran a profound sense of crisis.
This person sat obediently on a demonic beast, blinking his eyes and staring fearfully at the Immortal Mountain.
Then, seemingly sensing Qiu Anran’s gaze, he quickly lowered his head and began counting a stack of talismans in his hands.
He clearly looked so harmless to humans and animals alike, yet Qiu Anran could clearly sense that a great terror was hidden within this person’s body.
He could change into another face at any moment, and there would be absolutely no path to survival under this person’s hands.
The clansmen continuously asked Qiu Anran what they should do, urging him to meet the battle.
Qiu Anran trembled all over.
The sky had fallen.
