Chapter 28

Li Yuan entered the cave and walked in the tunnel with his eyes filled with killing intent. It didn't take him long to reach the end of the tunnel. He saw many devils surrounding a large formation. Inside the formation, many unconscious people were lying on it.

The Blood Sacrifice Formation. A Tier 4 Formation that sucks the lives of those inside it and turns into Qi that is absorbed by the one who lied the formation.

The devil cultivators noticed Li Yuan and were alarmed.

"An intruder! Kill him! Don't let him disturb the Leader!" The devil cultivators rushed toward Li Yuan and released a barrage of attacks at him. Most of the Devil Cultivators were at the Qi Sea Realm.

Many diagrams appeared in front of Li Yuan and absorbed the incoming attacks. Li Yuan could send their attacks back to them but refrained as he must be careful around the Blood Sacrifice Formation. Otherwise, everyone in it will die.

He kicked the ground and rushed toward the devil cultivators. The M Sword shone with Qi and slashed one of the devils into two halves easily. Then, Li Yuan chanted a spell and lightning came out of his finger and struck three devil cultivators. Their bodies turned into burnt corpses in an instant and didn't have the chance to release a cry.

Li Yuan continued to disappear and appear while killing the devil cultivators. Then, he moved toward the man who was sitting near the Blood Sacrifice Formation. The man opened his eyes to reveal a pair of bloody eyes. The man's hand turned into a claw and shot toward Li Yuan's neck. But, Li Yuan suddenly appeared above him and slashed with his sword.

The man's reaction wasn't slow and avoided Li Yuan's attack. His eyes shone with light as Li Yuan wasn't a simple person as his sword is a Tier 5 weapon.

A cold smile appeared on his face and devilish Qi exploded from his body.

The 3rd Stage of Sage Realm.

"Give that sword to me!" Said the Man as his Devilish Qi came at Li Yuan like a tsunami. Suddenly, he froze as Li Yuan's hand touched the Blood Sacrifice Formation. A bad feeling appeared in his heart after seeing this and argued him to kill Li Yuan now.

He released a roar and both of his arms shot toward Li Yuan.

Bang!

Bang!

His hands pierced Li Yuan's body which caused a cold smile to appear on his face. But, his smile didn't last at all as Li Yuan looked at him with terrifying cold eyes.

The man's body shivered as he quickly retracted his hands. Two gaping holes appeared in Li Yuan's body yet his hands didn't stop as it continued to deactivate the Blood Sacrifice Formation.

The Devil Cultivators were horrified to see the two holes quickly close and heal completely.

The Man's face changed greatly and backed away. Suddenly, a Buddhist chant came from Li Yuan's mouth which caused him to lose control of his devilish Qi. A severe pain struck his mind because of the chants.

The other devil cultivators screamed and grabbed their heads while rolling in the ground.

Li Yuan's eyes shone as he removed his hands form the Formation. The Blood Sacrifice Formation, a Tier 4 Formation was dispelled easily by Li Yuan!

The Man's eyes widened as he turned around and escaped toward the tunnel.

Suddenly, a beam of light struck him and severed his legs causing him to fall on the ground. The pain in his head increased as Li Yuan walked toward him. The Buddhist chants were like a hammer that strikes his mind each second. And each time, it will be stronger than before.

Li Yuan grabbed the M Sword and slashed the Man's hands.

"Do you think that I will let escape after trying to use the Blood Sacrifice Formation on my family?" Li Yuan's cold voice sent a shiver down the man's spine.

"Father, save me!" Cried the man.

BOOOOM!

A terrifying wave came from the man's body as there was talisman inside his body.

"Who da...."

Li Yuan's hand shot toward the talisman. The Qi that came from the talisman was too strong and destroyed the muscles and flesh of his hand. Still, his hand continued to move toward the talisman and grabbed it. His eyes shone as he sensed the Devilish Qi that came from the talisman.

"Now, I know your aura. Your son is the first and the next one will be you! Blame your stupid son for what will happen in the future!"

Then, Li Yuan let go of the talisman and used the Qi Destruction Sword on it. The M Sword happily slammed into the terrifying Qi and embraced the pain that came from the impact with a humming sound.

"Yo..."

The talisman was cut by the M Sword after a slight pause.

Li Yuan's arm that grabbed the talisman started to regenerate quickly. His face was slightly pale as a huge amount of Life Force was used. First, he sacrificed a few years to figure out what is going on. Then, he used more in healing the two wounds that this man inflicted on his body. And finally, his arm that was almost destroyed by the Qi from the talisman.

The devil cultivators who were still alive trembled violently. They cried out of fear as they tried to escape but how could Li Yuan let them go?

He resumed the Buddhist chanting and caused the devil cultivators to wail from the pain. Blood came out of their eyes, noses, mouths and ears as their souls were slowly getting destroyed by the Buddhist chants.

They died one by one as Li Yuan walked toward his unconscious parents and little brother. He looked at them and saw that their faces were pale. That was expected as their lives were getting sucked by the Blood Sacrifice Formation. Li Bian was the weakest and he was suffering injured by the formation.

Li Yuan moved quickly and infused his Life Force into his Brother and Parents bodies.

Quickly, there faces regained their normal colours but Li Yuan's face was paler than before. He sat down and exhaustion appeared on his face.

Thankfully, he was able to get that man away from the formation. If he used the Buddhist chants at the beginning of the fight, that man might have killed everyone in it.

Liu Yifie and the Grand Elders reached the cave as the Qi wave guided them to it.

They saw the exhausted Li Yuan setting near a couple and a child who is around 10 years old. A group of unconscious people lied beside them.

The two eyes stopped at the corpses of the Devil Cultivators and were shocked by their faces that showed externe agony.

"Destroy these corpses." Said Li Yuan as he lied on the ground.

Liu Yifie and the Grand Elder looked at each other as they didn't know how to react to this.

"Li Yuan, about the Qi wave that we sensed..."

"It was a talisman. I destroyed it before it could be fully activated." Said Li Yuan.

He looked at his family and sighed.

"It seems that I have to make a change in my plans." Said Li Yuan. After a few hours, the unconscious people started to wake up.

Li Rong opened his eyes that were filled with confusion. Xiao Yin followed him and woke up.

The two saw Li Yuan sitting near them.

"Yuan'er?" Li Rong's confusion grew after seeing Li Yuan. Wasn't he, his wife and Bain'er caught by the Devil Cultivators?

"I came back as I felt that you were in.." Li Yuan couldn't complete his sentence as Xiao Yin hugged him.

A smile appeared on his face and said: " Mom, brother is safe."

Xiao Yin's body stiffened and hurriedly let go of Li Yuan to see Li Bain lying unconscious on the ground.

"Bian'er!" Xiao Yin cried out as she grabbed him and inspected his body. She sighed in relief as he was fine.

Tears came out of her eyes as she hugged Li Bain and Li Yuan together. Her cry echoed in the cave as she couldn't believe the miracle that happened. Her action caused a chain reaction and the people started crying from relief.

Liu Yifie and the Grand Elder watched this scene in silence. From the conversation, they understood that the couple and the child were Li Yuan's family.

After calming the crowd down, Li Yuan brought them back to the ruined Cloud City. Of course, he knew that this place is not safe anymore. So he asked the people to find another city to live in. This is the only thing he would do to them. He isn't a Saint that will safe every single person he meets. He already saved them from being turned into a sacrifice which is more than enough.

Li Yuan looked at his parents and saw them staring at the ruined Li Clan. Li Rong's eyes were red as only a few remained of the Li Clan.

Li Yuan sighed and said," Father, the Li Clan will be rebuilt as long as we are still alive."

Li Rong was silent as he stared at the ruins. Tears fill from his eyes as he blamed none other than himself for being weak. If he was stronger, he would have prevented this calamity.

Xiao Yin hugged his back and said nothing. Li Bian has already woken up and started crying seeing the city he was raised in and his home in such state.

Li Yuan sighed as he calmed down his little brother.

Liu Yifie was staring at this scene and silently with the Grand Elder.

Li Yuan didn't look at them once during this time and only focused on his family.

"Father, I want you and the remaining clansmen to go with me to the Profound Heart Sect. In the sect, we will rebuild the clan there." Said Li Yuan.

"Is it fine?" Asked Li Rong with a low voice.

"No one can say no to me!" Said Li Yuan.

Li Rong looked at his son and complex emotions appeared in his eyes.

"Yuan'er, I am proud of you!" Said Li Rong. Li Yuan nodded and didn't say anything. Finally, he looked at Liu Yifie.

"I will have to bring my family to the Profound Heart Sect. I hope that you tell your mother." Said Li Yuan as he ordered the clan to leave with him.

Liu Yifie looked at him silently for a few seconds and said " You are weakened and you might be attacked in your journey. If we arrived early, you wouldn't be in this state." How could she and the Grand Elder not notice Li Yuan's pale face?

"So, we will accompany you and make sure that your family reach the Profound Heart Sect." Said Liu Yifie.

"And if the Profound Heart Sect refused them, you can bring them to the Nine Yin Palace which we will welcome them." The Grand Elder added to Liu Yifie.

"Thank you two." Said Li Yuan.

Liu Yifie suddenly opened her mouth and said:" Li Yuan, you are a good person!".

Li Yuan shrugged his shoulders and guided his family to the Profound Heart Sect with Liu Yifie and the Grand Elder.
