Li Zhirui frowned as he watched them escape; it wasn't that he didn't want to pursue and kill, but they fled too scatteredly, and there were quite a few cultivators nearby. Excessive consumption of mana could very likely put himself in danger.
However, Li Zhirui's ruthless tactics had also deterred them, and for some time, no one dared to show their face.
In this way, Li Zhirui encountered several attacks from Devil Beasts and ambushes by cultivators. With sporadic stops and starts along the way, by the time he arrived at the frontline where Shen Leishan clashed with Yin Wind Cave, several months had passed.

On the border of Shen Leishan, there were five Great Immortal Cities and more than a dozen smaller Immortal Cities, forming a long defensive line to resist the invasion of Demon Cultivators from Yin Wind Cave.
Of course, this could only withstand the invasion of Demon Cultivators on a large scale. Occasionally, a few Demon Cultivators would stealthily cross the defensive line, make their way onto Shen Leishan territory to pillage, collect various materials, or spread Evil Cultivation Skills.
Those evil cultivators that Li Zhixuan had previously captured were corrupted by the Demon Cultivators' deception.
Li Zhirui chose one of the five Great Immortal Cities, South Mountain Immortal City, because the battle situation outside this city was the most intense, suitable for him to break through his bottleneck.
As the frontline against Yin Wind Cave, entering South Mountain Immortal City was free of charge, but on the city wall hung a third-order Treasure Mirror for identifying Demon Cultivators and evil cultivators.
The moment Li Zhirui entered South Mountain Immortal City, an aura of solemn killing intent met him, making the hairs on his body stand on end and putting him in a tense state.
There was also that pervasive, faint yet lingering, omnipresent smell of blood.
This was because the city, which had stood in the wilderness for over a thousand years, had witnessed the deaths of countless cultivators and Demon Cultivators, and their blood had long seeped into every corner of the city.
Even the Spiritual Energy within the city was tinged with a hint of blood qi, and if it weren't for the specially set up Spirit Cleansing Array, cultivators would not dare to absorb Spiritual Energy for cultivation within the city.
"Taoist friend, is this your first time in South Mountain Immortal City?" A voice suddenly sounded beside Li Zhirui's ear.
Li Zhirui looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man in white clothing, who was also at the later stages of Foundation Establishment.
"How did taoist friend come to that conclusion?" Li Zhirui did not deny it but asked curiously instead.
However, it was quite rare for cultivators to exchange for third-tier spiritual objects because not only were they expensive, but Foundation Establishment cultivators also couldn't make use of them.
As for Golden Core cultivators? They had no need to come to such places to acquire spiritual objects.
But Li Zhirui was quite interested in one of the third-tier spiritual objects. If he had the chance, he would take it into his possession.
After all, his purpose for this trip was to break through his bottleneck and strive for the Golden Core; points and spiritual objects were secondary.
"By the way, senior may not know, but every once in a while, demon cultivators will attack the Immortal City, or the city will organize cultivators to launch offensive strikes," the assistant suddenly said.
Li Zhirui's eyebrows raised as he asked, "Why is that?"
"It is said that they want to seize each other's territory."
But somehow, Li Zhirui felt this reason was not very reliable. If it was about expanding territory, then the defensive line would have to be pushed forward, otherwise it couldn't be defended at all.
However, establishing a suitable and strong defense was not so easy to accomplish. It would require an unknown amount of labor and resources, and constant vigilance against sabotage and disruptions from the other side.
"Have you heard of the Bo Li Team?" This matter was unrelated to Li Zhirui; he didn't bother to probe deeper and instead asked about something else.
The assistant's face was full of admiration as he said, "Senior, this squad is very famous within the Immortal City. Its members are either in the late stages of Foundation Establishment or possess a unique skill. Due to their strong abilities, they always return safely from outings to kill demon cultivators, with substantial gains."
Besides that, the assistant introduced several members of the Bo Li Team, among whom Bo Li, naturally, could not be left out.
In his words, Bo Li was a master of swordsmanship with considerable strength, and it seemed he was not far from entering the Golden Core Realm.
Li Zhirui's eyebrows raised; he truly hadn't expected the Bo Li Team to be so formidable, their reputation so extensive that even a random assistant knew everything about them.
But this also aroused a trace of confusion. If the Bo Li Team was already so powerful, why did they invite him? In the South Mountain Immortal City, there were plenty of cultivators in the later stages of Foundation Establishment; was there really no need to invite him to join at first sight?
After pondering for a while without understanding, he decided to set the matter aside for now, gave some spirit stones to send the assistant away, and prepared to rest well for the night.
