Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#256 - Hanyue City Han Family Headquarters

Li Chengfeng's expression instantly turned grim when he learned that his opponents were willing to massacre ten thousand innocent civilians to force him to show himself.

This internal strife within the human race filled him with more anger than any enemy he had ever faced.

He knew that this kind of behavior had crossed the line of humanity and was even more cruel than the demon race.

He immediately emerged from the space, and with a flash of wind beneath his feet, nine wind vortexes instantly spread out, allowing him to catch up with a team of soldiers marching towards a village in no time.

These soldiers were swaggering and filled with murderous intent, showing no mercy towards the civilians they were about to face.

Just as they were advancing rapidly, lightning suddenly flashed in the sky, dark clouds rolled, and blood rain poured down.

Countless bolts of crimson lightning struck the group of cultivators, and screams of agony echoed all around.

More than thirty Qi Refining stage cultivators were instantly hit by the blood rain and plummeted from the sky.

Li Chengfeng waved the Soul Devouring Banner, and their souls were taken away.

Although the three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were slightly stronger, they were also paralyzed by the bombardment of blood-colored lightning and fell from the sky.

Their souls were also sucked into the Soul Devouring Banner, and without their souls, they became mindless corpses.

Li Chengfeng did not let these corpses go to waste; he cast a series of spells, refining them into corpse puppets.

These corpse puppets had green lights glowing in their eyes, and they would obey Li Chengfeng's commands.

At this moment, Li Chengfeng suddenly had a plan—to relieve the state of Wei by besieging Zhao.

He planned to use these corpse puppets, along with his own strength, to attack the enemy's rear, forcing them to return to rescue their base and thereby saving the civilians who were about to be slaughtered.

This was one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems from Blue Star, and Li Chengfeng knew its wonders.

He believed that as long as the plan was carried out properly, he would definitely be able to successfully rescue those innocent civilians.

With a thought, Li Chengfeng brought all the corpse puppets into the Hell Space, letting the ghosts nourish them.

Originally, he had planned to leave the Wind Cloud Country and go to the Azure Cloud Sect in Qi Country, but now he changed his mind and headed straight towards the direction of Cold Ice Mountain.

His goal was very clear—to eliminate those Cold Ice Mountain disciples who were harming innocent civilians.

Ahead, a team of three to four dozen Qi Refining stage cultivators led by three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators was targeting a village.

They were all filled with murderous intent, and having already eliminated two villages, they were preparing to attack the third.

Just as they were about to launch their attack, Li Chengfeng made his move.

With a point of his finger, his magical power surged forth, and with a boom, dark clouds rolled in the sky and thunder rumbled. Immediately afterward, torrential rain poured down, whirlwinds rose from the ground, and lightning flashed through the rain.

The Cold Ice Mountain disciples were powerless against such a powerful attack and were knocked down one by one.

Li Chengfeng also refined these cultivators into corpse puppets and took away their storage bags.

However, he did leave one person alive—a tall and sturdy cultivator who seemed somewhat simple and honest.

This cultivator was different from the others; his eyes revealed helplessness and struggle, as he did not sincerely want to slaughter these civilians.

He knelt down in front of Li Chengfeng and pleaded, "Please spare me, sir! I don't want to do this either, but the upper echelons of Cold Ice Mountain have issued orders, and I dare not disobey."

Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "The reason I spared your life is because I saw that you did not sincerely want to slaughter these civilians.

However, it is impossible for me to let you go just like that. Unless you are willing to answer my questions and help me rescue these civilians."

The cultivator's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Please ask, sir, I will definitely tell you everything I know.

After all, I also came from a poor background. My parents passed away early, and I grew up eating food from a hundred families. I still have the blood of the poor in my heart.

Now, by chance, I obtained the method of cultivation and joined Cold Ice Mountain, but I never expected my dream to be completely tarnished by these people.

They treat the common people like weeds, killing them as they please. But I have already entered the thieves' den and cannot get out, so I have to go against my conscience every day to do those evil things.

Please guide me, senior, and point me to a bright path."

Li Chengfeng nodded and said to Jia Hai, "Since you have good intentions, I will give you a chance.

Now, these cultivators belong to the Han family's forces in Cold Ice Mountain. What is the power of the family behind them?"

Jia Hai immediately replied, "My surname is Jia, and my given name is Hai. These cultivators are indeed family members of the Han family of Cold Ice Mountain. They live in Cold Moon City on Cold Ice Mountain.

That is the Han family's base, gathering more than ten thousand cultivators.

However, most of the cultivators in the base are now at the Qi Refining stage, and some are their family members.

All the Core Formation and Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, as well as some high-level Qi Refining stage cultivators, have been sent out to find Li Chengfeng's whereabouts.

Once there is news of him, they will immediately send a signal to notify them, and then the nine Core Formation stage elders will quickly go to capture him."

After hearing this, Li Chengfeng suddenly felt a chill down his spine, never expecting that the Han family would send out so many people.

He realized that this was definitely not just because he killed the Han family's daughter; there must be an unknown secret hidden within.

He smelled a hint of conspiracy, but at this time, he was not afraid.

He borrowed the words of a great man and said, "Now I am penniless and without resources; the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

I will fight a guerrilla war with them."

He thought, "I have the Living World Space that I can hide in at any time, and then I can leave by controlling the space.

This is similar to the tunnel warfare on Blue Star, but it is even more secretive."

He clenched his fist and continued to ask, "What is the usual nature of those Han family cultivators? Are they, like these cultivators, also killers?"

Li Chengfeng did not want to kill innocent people indiscriminately before taking action.

Jia Hai knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he said, "None of these people are good.

From childhood, they have been instilled with the idea that the common people are garbage, trash, and should be eliminated, just like harvesting crops, one crop after another.

From toddlers to the elderly in their twilight years, and even women, everyone's hands are stained with the blood of ordinary people.

Their cultivation is all based on drinking the blood of ordinary people. This is a sinful family."

Li Chengfeng nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Okay, you tell me the location, and I will go and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Since they have the heart to harm those innocent civilians, they are not qualified to live in this world.

I will have all the members of the entire Han family slaughtered, so that they can taste the feeling of being harvested like crops."

Jia Hai looked at Li Chengfeng, his heart filled with shock and admiration.

He never expected that this senior, although only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, would possess such firm determination and courage, daring to face a powerful family with Core Formation stage cultivators.

He said, "Senior, I know that you are extraordinary, but the power of the Han family should not be underestimated.

They have a Han Bai who has just advanced to the Core Formation stage. This person practices the Xuanming technique of Cold Ice Mountain, and his strength is so great that he can freeze ten miles.

In addition, there are more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who have just advanced, and thirty or so late-stage Foundation Establishment stage, older generation cultivators who are responsible for family affairs. Such a lineup is really difficult to deal with."

Li Chengfeng frowned and carefully considered Jia Hai's words.

But he did not back down, but said firmly: "I must act. Although the Han family is powerful, I am not fighting alone.

I will naturally be careful to deal with the cultivators you mentioned.

Especially that Core Formation stage Han Bai, although he is a tricky opponent, I believe I can handle him. You just need to tell me the specific location, and I will set off now."

Jia Hai was infected by Li Chengfeng's determination, he nodded, and decided to help this senior.

He immediately condensed his divine sense and drew a detailed map, which he handed to Li Chengfeng.
