Chapter 874 - 880: Unwillingness
Not far away, Li Zhirui turned his head and said, "They’re here, let’s go back." They wanted to break the stalemate, but there was no need to put this group of cultivators in jeopardy.
Just as the Li family members had withdrawn from their station, other cultivators hastily redeployed forces to fill in the gaps to prevent the Water Devils from breaching the defense line.
Only now, the roles had reversed, and the Li family had become the support team.
Those Divine Transformation cultivators who were persistently resisting the Fifth-order Water Devils didn’t give Li Zhirui and his companions a warm welcome—after all, had they not abruptly retreated, how could they have fallen into such a dire situation?
But they failed to consider that had they not stood by idly from the start, why would the Li family have resorted to such desperate measures?
After days of fierce battle, relying on their superiority in strength, they finally managed to repel the Water Devils that were frantically surging toward Li Family Island!
