181: Chapter 181 Ambushing and Killing the Asura King

However, the City Lord of Bian dared not offend Li Daoxuan, because in the entire cultivation world, there was likely no one left who could be considered Li Daoxuan's opponent.

After all, there were very few in this cultivation world who could reach the Spirit Wandering Stage, and once they made a Breakthrough, they would all choose to leave this place.

As for that type of Medicinal Pill, he could only dream about it; since he had already established good relations with the Asura Hall, he could not afford to let this opportunity slip away.

He might need the help of the Asura Hall in the future, and if he harbored any malicious intentions at this time, he would likely be wiped out by Li Daoxuan with a flip of his hand.

Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head to clear away any dangerous thoughts, then set up a Spirit Gathering Array here and began to Cultivate in seclusion with peace of mind.

On the other side, Li Daoxuan was rushing towards Yunding Peak at top speed.

Naturally, he intended to return to Yunding Peak as quickly as possible, then go into seclusion to Cultivate and attempt a Breakthrough to the Spirit Wandering Stage.

The Spirit Wandering Stage was already within reach, which made him feel anxious.

However, when he arrived at the Million Great Rivers, he was suddenly intercepted by a group of men in black.

This group of men in black consisted of ten individuals, each exuding an aura of at least the Late Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage.

The three leaders, in particular, possessed strength that had reached the Peak of the Soul Transformation Stage.

Upon seeing them, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but laugh.

"A few shameful rats dare to act presumptuously before me? You truly do not know the meaning of death."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and ten streams of fire surged towards them, each containing Earth Fire.

The raging inferno forced the ten Soul Transformation Stage experts to retreat rapidly, but the flames followed them like a shadow, as if they possessed intelligence.

In truth, these flames were controlled by the Fire Spirit, so it could be said that they had consciousness.

The Earth Fire was immensely powerful; anything it touched was essentially burned to nothingness.

He was currently in the Million Great Rivers. Although he didn't know why those Yao Beasts hadn't appeared, even if he were to burn the entire Million Great Rivers down right now, those Yao Beasts wouldn't dare to say a word.

After all, the incident that occurred to him in the Million Great Rivers had a significant connection to those Yao Beasts at the Soul Transformation Stage.

If this matter had nothing to do with them, he would write his name backwards.

Therefore, after he finished slaying these fellows, he would not let the Fifth-Rank Yao Beasts in the Million Great Rivers off the hook either.

Facing the flames controlled by the Fire Spirit, the ten Soul Transformation Stage experts dodged as much as they could while trying every possible method to extinguish the fire before them.

However, they discovered that whether it was Divine Abilities, Dao techniques, or various Magic Treasures, nothing could extinguish the flames, giving them the feeling of facing Heavenly Fire.

Suddenly, one of the Peak Soul Transformation Stage experts trembled and said, "It is... it is a Fire Spirit! It is actually a Fire Spirit!"

Upon hearing this, the other Cultivators instantly thought of the Earth Fire Spirit, which was comparable to Heavenly Fire.

If the flames before them were mixed with the Earth Fire Spirit, it would be a massive catastrophe for them.

Because they had absolutely no means to extinguish Earth Fire, nor did they have any treasure to defend against the Earth Fire Spirit.

Just as everyone was stunned, a Late Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator was directly struck by the flames.

"Ah!"

A painful cry escaped his lips, and not long after, he was reduced to ashes.

He didn't even manage to escape with his Primordial Spirit; he simply let out one miserable scream and was instantly turned to ashes.

The other Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators were terrified. Looking at the fireballs flying towards them, they fled in a mad rush as if they were facing some terrifying beast.

This time, they had come to ambush Li Daoxuan, but they never expected to return defeated.

Seeing them flee, Li Daoxuan did not pursue them; after all, there were still nine other Soul Transformation Stage experts.

Chasing them now, regardless of whether he could catch them, was a waste of time.

He could not afford to waste time now; he had to rush back to Yunding Peak as quickly as possible to achieve a Breakthrough to the Spirit Wandering Stage.

Looking at the fleeing Soul Transformation Cultivators, Li Daoxuan muttered, "I have remembered you all. After I achieve my Breakthrough, I will come looking for you."

As his voice faded, he tore through space and returned to Yunding Peak.

The Million Great Rivers were not far from Yunding Peak. He did not know why the news of his return had been leaked, and this matter had to be investigated thoroughly.

After he left, a raging fire ignited in the Million Great Rivers. The flames were mixed with Earth Fire, which was simply not something ordinary Yao Beasts could extinguish.

When the Fifth-Rank Yao Beasts returned today and saw the raging fire in the Million Great Rivers, they wanted to put it out, but when they realized there was no way to handle it, they were filled with regret.

If they lost the Million Great Rivers as a barrier, it would absolutely be a devastating blow to them.

Fortunately, Li Daoxuan did not push things to the extreme; only ten percent of the entire Million Great Rivers burned before the fire slowly died down, and the Fifth-Rank Yao Beasts heaved a sigh of relief.

If the entire Million Great Rivers had been burned down, their entire Yao Race would have nowhere to go.

There were other gathering places for the Yao Race, but those groups might not necessarily accept them. After all, resources in every place were limited, and if there were more people to share them, someone would certainly be unhappy.

Although it could strengthen the other side's power, they generally disliked newcomers.

What if the other party had malicious intentions and wanted to seize their territory? It would be terrible if they were to stab them in the back while they were fighting against hostile forces.

Fortunately, the Million Great Rivers had not been completely destroyed; otherwise, they would have been the sinners of the Yao Race.

Several Fifth-Rank Yao Beasts looked at each other, as if they had made a certain decision.

They could not provoke the Asura Hall, and as for those Cultivators who ambushed Li Daoxuan, they were equally unable to contend with them.

However, they could inform the Asura Hall about those Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators who ambushed Li Daoxuan; at least that would prevent the experts of the Asura Hall from wiping them out.

Furthermore, they needed to unite with other Yao Race experts to at least preserve the Legacy of the Million Great Rivers.

The lead Fifth-Rank Yao Beast said, "Everyone, we must act as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if that fellow gets angry, our days will not be easy."

Although they did not know why Li Daoxuan had left in such a hurry, the Million Great Rivers were too close to Yunding Peak.

If they waited for the Asura Hall to take the initiative, there would be no place left for the Million Great Rivers; they knew full well the power of the Asura Hall.

The reason they had acted this way this time was mainly because they couldn't resist the temptation; those ten fellows had offered too much.

Another Fifth-Rank Yao Beast sighed, "Sigh, with the rise of this neighbor, the dominant position of the Million Great Rivers is gone."

"We were a bit too arrogant in the past. From now on, let us properly nurture the Juniors. Otherwise, one day when we fall, the Million Great Rivers will truly be gone."

"As long as we are still here, the Asura Hall will have some reservations. But if we are gone, the Cultivators of the Asura Hall will turn the Million Great Rivers into their resource base."

"This is likely the reason why the Asura King did not destroy the Million Great Rivers."

They had realized that the burned areas were only scorched on the surface, while the deep-layer resources still remained.

Moreover, those resources deep underground were top-quality. For the Asura Hall, those were the resources they truly wanted.

As for the Spirit Medicine on the surface, the ones with high age had already been consumed by them, and those with low age meant nothing to a powerful force like the Asura Hall.

The lead Fifth-Rank Yao Beast said, "Time is becoming increasingly urgent. How about this, Jin Que, your speed is the fastest; you make a trip to the Asura Hall, what do you think?"
