Li Zhirui returned to Immortal City and stayed in a rented cave dwelling for over half a month before receiving a transmission from Bo Li, saying that they would gather at the city gates tomorrow to continue hunting Demon Cultivators. "So much time has passed, and there hasn't been much movement from the Demon Cultivators. It seems that the Golden Core Demon Cultivator isn't too concerned about his blood descendant," Li Zhirui murmured softly to himself. Early the next day, everyone gathered and once again boarded the Spirit Boat, flying towards Wind Corruption Prefecture. "Although there hasn't been much news from the Demon Cultivators these days, it's still better to be cautious," Bo Li said, "So we should not venture too deep into the frontline for now, let's find out the situation first." "Alright." Although this could lead to reduced income, everyone was of a cautious nature and naturally had no objections. In the following period, Li Zhirui and his companions were very careful; they never went deep into Wind Corruption Prefecture, and every time they captured a Demon Cultivator, they left a few alive to inquire about any related news. "Yes, there was a San Gui Zhenren who issued a bounty a while ago; the reward was very generous. He said he wanted to find the cultivator who killed his grandson," each Demon Cultivator would say something similar. This piece of information made Li Zhirui and the others even more cautious and wary, not daring to expose themselves as the murderers. Until two months later. "It looks like the Golden Core has given up searching," one of the cultivators said with a relaxed smile. They learned from the Demon Cultivators they had just captured that San Gui Zhenren, having found no clues, had withdrawn the bounty. The sword that had been hanging over their heads was finally dissipating. However, this was to be expected, for when they dealt with that Demon Cultivator, they had not been seen by anyone else. Even to avoid exposing this secret, they had not turned in his body for Contribution Value. "Now we don't have to be so restrained, just killing a few Demon Cultivators before returning to Immortal City," another person also expressed with a sense of relief. You should know, before this incident, every time they went out, they would stay in the wilderness for at least half a month to a month, but now, they had to return to Immortal City after just a few days. From today on, they can return to the previous situation. As for Li Zhirui, having just joined the team not long ago, the vast majority of Demon Cultivators were unaware of his existence. But even without counting him, the original members of the team were more than capable of easily killing them. Seeing that the Formation was set, Li Zhirui's hands moved to cast a different spell, and the vines that were entangling people suddenly grew several times larger and turned pitch black, appearing extremely fierce. The vines lashed wildly within the Formation, and the whooshing sounds they made were enough to demonstrate their powerful destructive force. Some Demon Cultivators who had underestimated the vines were already severely injured, lying on the ground, wailing in agony. With everyone working together, it didn't take long to slay all these Demon Cultivators. "Every time I see your spells, I can't help but marvel," Bo Li said to Li Zhirui with a smile. Another person also added jovially, "Indeed, we never thought that the Wood-attribute Skill, considered the weakest by many, could become so powerful in your hands." "It's just leveraging some external help; it's nothing noteworthy," said Li Zhirui with modesty. Of course, in some sense, this was also a fact, after all, these vines didn't just appear out of nowhere; they were all Spirit Vines cultivated with care by Li Zhirui. "Let's clean up the battlefield first. The commotion just now was not small; it's very likely that it will attract some Cultivators and Demon Cultivators looking to scavenge," said Li Zhirui, not wanting to keep the focus on himself. Bo Li gave him a knowing smile and, without saying much more, turned to join the others in collecting the spoils of war. Time always flies unknowingly, and in the blink of an eye, more than three months had passed. However, a trace of distress marred Li Zhirui's brows; his excursion was for the sake of breaking through a bottleneck to reach the Golden Core stage, but over the past six months, his bottleneck had become incredibly firm, showing no sign of loosening. Although this was a very normal occurrence, many were trapped by their bottlenecks for ten years, even decades. Moreover, during this time, he hadn't encountered any battles that he considered dangerous. And this was mainly because the Bo Li Team was too strong. The majority of Demon Cultivators were simply no match for them, presenting no danger at all. How could this allow Li Zhirui to have an epiphany through a life-and-death crisis? Therefore, Li Zhirui was now considering whether he should leave the Bo Li Team and wander the battlefield alone, placing himself in dangerous situations to force a breakthrough of his bottleneck.
