First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 253: The Liu Family

Shen Mo took off the "Insight into All Beings" and, with a thought, put on the special destiny "Cicada Awakening".

And then... nothing happened!

"Perhaps there is currently no danger, so the special effect of 'Cicada Awakening' cannot be triggered!"

Thinking this way, he took out the Demon-slaying Sword and threw it high into the air.

Then, he withdrew his divine consciousness control over the flying sword and let it fall on its own.

"Buzz!"

The Demon-slaying Sword still had its spiritual power, its blade shining brightly, carrying a hint of sharp sword aura, and stabbed straight towards Shen Mo's face.

In the instant before it was about to pierce his body...

Shen Mo's figure swayed and narrowly avoided the sword's edge.

"Puchi!"

The Demon-slaying Sword, like piercing tofu, sank into the hard rock.

Shen Mo pondered for a moment, then grabbed the Demon-slaying Sword with his fingers and threw it into the sky again.

This time, the infused spiritual power was extremely majestic, and he lost control over it with his divine consciousness.

Even someone as strong as Shen Mo, if caught off guard, would be injured by the sword's edge.

"Boom!"

A huge sword mark was slashed on the ground, and this momentum even alarmed Chen Mengze in the cave.

She held a sword in one hand and pinched a talisman in the other, rushing out with a guarded expression on her face.

"It's me practicing my immortal technique, no need to be nervous..."

Shen Mo explained, then simply pulled the somewhat helpless Chen Mengze and helped her familiarize herself with the effect of "Cicada Awakening".

Half an hour later, Chen Mengze returned to the cave.

She needed to maintain her peak state to deal with the elite members of the Liu and Wu families who could come at any time.

As for Shen Mo, he put away the Demon-slaying Sword and began to contemplate.

"This special destiny, 'Cicada Awakening', is indeed different from the warning of a cultivator's divine consciousness."

"Even if I voluntarily block my five senses and divine consciousness, I can still sense the arrival of danger!"

"However, this perception is vague!"

"I can't distinguish what the danger is, and where it comes from."

"And I can only sense danger within three breaths. Once it exceeds three breaths, I can no longer sense it!"

Even so, Shen Mo was still very satisfied with this special destiny.

In the perilous world of cultivation, a cultivator's five senses and divine consciousness are often unreliable.

Not only can they be deceived, but they can also be misled!

As a result, cultivators make wrong and fatal decisions, leading themselves into even more dangerous situations!

Now, with "Cicada Awakening", even if his five senses and divine consciousness are deceived or misled, he can still make the right judgments relying on this destiny.

"Furthermore, this special destiny is of green quality!"

"In the future, I will upgrade it to blue, or even purple."

"Who knows..."

"Maybe... I can truly become clairvoyant and nip fatal crises in the bud!"

Shen Mo's heart was faintly filled with anticipation.

In the next moment, his calm expression changed slightly.

In the view of his Flawless Eye, several figures of flying vessels left the gates of Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley, flying towards Sishui City.

"The elite members of the Liu family who joined Dasheng Mountain, including Liu Yu, the son of Liu Dingjiang, have reached the Qi Gathering stage, totaling six people."

"And the Wu family's Qi Gathering cultivators who practiced in Zizhu Valley, there are four of them!"

"A total of ten figures. It seems that these two major families have emptied their nests."

"Perfect! It's convenient for us to take them all down."

As for the people of the Body Tempering sect in Dasheng Mountain and Zizhu Valley...

Shen Mo and Chen Mengze are currently unable to kill them and will have to find a way to eliminate them one by one.

There are also arrangements in their subsequent plans.

It depends on whether the Li and Wu families have cleaned up their act enough!

Shen Mo turned and entered the cave, only to see a fierce killing intent flickering on Chen Mengze's face.

He couldn't help but advise, "Senior Sister Chen, please calm down! The Li and Wu families will definitely not escape destruction this time."

"Let's stick to our original plan!"

Chen Mengze responded and sat back down, practicing her main cultivation technique.

...

Sishui City, Li Family Mansion.

After taking the elixir, Li Dingjiang's facial injuries had healed, but his face was still pale.

He was being beaten on the ground by the wandering cultivators who had come for the interests of the Li and Wu families in Sishui City.

As the head of the Li family, he had almost lost all face and couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Not to mention the fact that the wandering cultivator couple had come for the interests of both the Li and Wu families in Sishui City.

This was even more unacceptable than being humiliated!

Li Dingjiang's heart was filled with boundless anger and killing intent.

Li Yu, who had returned from Dasheng Mountain, along with five Qi Gathering stage cultivators who had returned, and the three Qi Gathering stage cultivators who had stayed in the mansion, were all gathered in the courtyard.

The Li family alone had ten Qi Gathering stage cultivators.

Among them, Li Dingjiang and his son had cultivation bases at the eighth and ninth levels of the Qi Gathering stage!

This level of strength was enough to rival a smaller immortal sect.

As long as Li Yu advanced to the Spirit Sea stage, the Li family would have a great opportunity to establish their own power or dominate Dasheng Mountain.

"Yuer, I have already informed you of the situation in the message! Have you informed your master, Daoist Baiyuan?" Li Dingjiang asked the young man with the highest cultivation level, his face dark.

Li Yu had a similar appearance to Li Dingjiang, with a hooked nose and deep eye sockets, and a rebellious look on his face.

"Master is busy dealing with the upcoming calamity and has no intention of getting involved in the disputes over interests in Sishui City," Li Yu replied.

"But if those wandering cultivators have someone stronger behind them secretly manipulating things..."

"Master will not sit idly by!"

In Li Yu's opinion, dealing with just two wandering cultivators was something he could easily do alone.

His father, Li Dingjiang, had called back all the young disciples of the family.

It seemed a bit too cautious!

Even more so, they had invited the Wu family, another major family in the city, just like when they annihilated the Chen family more than twenty years ago.

As for the fact that the burly man among the wandering cultivators was able to beat his father, Li Dingjiang, Li Yu didn't find it strange.

After all, his father had been living a comfortable life in the city for these years and had hardly fought anyone.

His current strength was probably not even 60-70% of his peak.

But Li Yu was different. Not only was his cultivation realm superior, but he also practiced immortal techniques and martial arts passed down from Dasheng Mountain.

Even if he faced the elite disciples of the five major immortal sects, he had the confidence to fight them.

After listening to Li Yu's words, Li Dingjiang nodded. "I have made an agreement with Wu Dayong to set off at midnight tonight!"

"Judging by the time, he and the Wu family cultivators should be here soon."

Just as he finished speaking, Wu Dayong, along with seven Qi Gathering stage cultivators from the Wu family, appeared at the entrance of the Li family mansion.

In order not to alarm other cultivators in Sishui City, Wu Dayong and the others did not fly on their flying devices, but instead concealed their aura and quietly approached.

"Brother Li, our Wu family has a total of eight Qi Gathering stage cultivators, all ready to go," Wu Dayong greeted Li Dingjiang with a cupped fist.

Now that Li Yu had emerged from the Li family, the Wu family felt a bit dissatisfied.

But they still had a smiling face, as if they were following Li Dingjiang and his son.

"Good! Let's set off and go to Tianquan Mountain."

"Kill that couple who are plotting against the interests of our two families!"
