Chapter 248
Li Su flew towards the Flying Immortal Sect. Seeing Li Su approaching, the sect leader opened the formation and flew out to greet him.
“Li Su, are you okay?” The sect leader asked with concern, worried that Li Su might be injured. The sect leader standing next to her also displayed a strong sense of concern on his face.
The sect leader wasn’t old. When Li Su first saw her, she appeared as a middle-aged woman. However, this was just a disguise she used to avoid being recognized by those associated with that woman. Being in a place comparable to half a sacred land like the Eastern family, it was highly unlikely that she wouldn’t have access to rejuvenating elixirs and similar items. Her innate talent was quite good, and her cultivation was strong. It only took her over two hundred years to reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, she hadn’t made significant progress in her long quest to find the sect leader for several centuries.
“It’s okay, Master, how about the expenditure?” Li Su inquired.
“Not bad, we’ve used about half of our spiritual stones,” the sect leader replied. Li Su returned just in time. If he had been any later, the expenditure of spiritual stones would have been more than half, and once they ran out, they wouldn’t be able to hold out.
“I’m ignoring you!” Unable to stay longer, the sect leader left after her parting words. Her tone was a playful rebuke. She had never spoken in such a manner before. Seeing this, Li Su could only hand the storage pouch to the sect leader’s aunt.
At this moment, Peak Master Dieyun and her group were also approaching. However, they were in their physical bodies, not their spiritual essence forms this time. The Five Elements Spirit Dragon of the Wan Beast Sect had also flown over. On the back of the dragon, the Sect Master of the Wan Beast Sect and several talented female disciples from the Returning Origin Sect were all looking at Li Su with expressions of amazement in their eyes. This battle left them all deeply impressed.
A Nascent Divinity cultivator had died at the hands of Li Su. Although this Nascent Divinity cultivator had only reached the early Nascent Divinity stage after a lifetime of effort, it was still astonishing. Li Su had also utilized the power of the Elemental Magnetic Barrier, making his feat even more incredible. Typically, even peak Nascent Divinity cultivators with top-tier spiritual roots would, at most, have a draw with Sun Dong. But Li Su consistently overpowered Sun Dong throughout the battle, and Sun Dong couldn’t match him.
Even when using the Solar Ignition Symbol, Sun Dong still couldn’t do anything against Li Su. In the end, even his spiritual essence couldn’t escape. Facing the fierce Li Su while heavily wounded, Elder Jing abandoned his physical body in a desperate bid to escape. Although he managed to get away, his spiritual essence also suffered significant damage. To single-handedly take on two Nascent Divinity experts and achieve one death and one heavy injury. Li Su’s performance was nothing short of astonishing. The gazes of the women towards Li Su were filled with admiration.
“Li Su, if I’m not mistaken, these two individuals are probably from the Eastern Family in the Canglan Realm, aren’t they?” It was at this moment that Peak Master Dieyun spoke. Li Su glanced at his sect leader’s aunt and replied, “Yes, they are, senior.” Peak Master Dieyun continued, “The Eastern Family is comparable with half a sacred land. Killing two Nascent Divinity cultivators from their family will likely bring endless trouble. However, the Canglan Realm is under the dominion of our Returning Origin Sect, so if any Nascent Divinity or higher-level cultivator from their side enters the Canglan Realm and takes action against you without notice, we won’t stand idly by.” “Thank you, senior,” Li Su responded without further explanation. The sect leader’s conflicts with her family were primarily because of that woman. That woman couldn’t immediately request the assistance of Nascent Divinity or higher-level cultivators. Her actions were probably kept hidden from the rest of her family. The two Nascent Divinity cultivators she hired this time were just ordinary Nascent Divinity cultivators. Where did she find the means to request Nascent Divinity or higher-level cultivators? However, Li Su didn’t see the need to explain this to Peak Master Dieyun.
“Li Su, if you need resources for cultivation with the Eastern girl, you can come to me for purchases. You can use spiritual stones or pills,” Peak Master Dieyun offered. After witnessing Li Su’s great capabilities this time, she had originally intended to do whatever it took to win him over. However, she also realized that her hundred-year agreement with Li Su still had more than forty years left. Neither she nor the other three sect leaders from the Second Tier Immortal Sects could approach Li Su during this time. Therefore, Peak Master Dieyun forcibly held herself back from pursuing Li Su further. But she extended another friendly gesture, acknowledging that the resources beyond Nascent Divinity level were scarce in the Northern Realm, and she suggested that the Returning Origin Sect could sell resources to Li Su. She emphasized “sell,” not “give,” as Li Su might refuse a gift. “Thank you, senior. I am indeed in need of some resources. Once I’ve settled matters within the sect, I will visit the Returning Origin Sect,” Li Su replied. Peak Master Dieyun’s offer resolved a major issue for Li Su.
