Chapter 1004 - 971: Attack
Li Zhirui asked Da Qing curiously, "What happened? How did the great battle suddenly end?"
"Specifically, we’re not sure either. It appears that a significant incident occurred on the side of the Sea Clan during the Integration battlefield. Xiaoqing mentioned that he glimpsed dozens of Spirit Lights descending from the sky and swiftly diving into the deep sea," Da Qing replied.
"However, the Sea Clan has only retreated temporarily, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they return in full force."
"That’s fine as well. With the great battle temporarily halted, cultivators have more time to rest and heal their wounds. Plus, this period should be enough for the Cave Abyss Sect to fortify their base, making it as impregnable as metal and stone. By then, it won’t be easy for the Sea Clan to reclaim this sea domain," Li Zhirui nodded in satisfaction, no longer needing to maintain his disguise.
Xiaoqing suddenly asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiu, why do you conceal your true strength?"
This question had been troubling him. Not just Xiaoqing, others were also unable to comprehend Li Zhirui’s actions.
"Ordinary combat holds little significance for me, and the Cave Abyss Sect is so miserly. Given this, why should I go all out?"
Li Zhirui countered, "If I did use my full strength, it’d be easy to get targeted by the Sea Clan. Knowing this would invite a myriad of troubles, it’s unnecessary to endure such hardships."
