Chapter 1044: Cultivators Of The Floating Cloud Cave (I)
This pair of White Shadow Gold Clasps did not suit him, but Li Chenghui showed no hint of regret as he said, "Thunder-type dharma artifacts are rare in the various Daos of Jiangnan. Even the elders of my family, after cultivating for centuries, have only barely seen a few. I already have the Sixfold Profound Thunder Punishment Tokens, that will suffice. This item suits Zhouluo, so it can be left for him."
Li Zhouwei had no choice but to put away the pair of White Shadow Gold Clasps. The lamps in the hall flickered dimly as he solemnly said, "Bring up those cultivators from Floating Cloud Cave for inspection. Our manpower is lacking. We must guard Jiangbei once we cross the lake, so a few of them may be promoted for use."
Wenhu and Ping Wangzi had already brought the core members of Floating Cloud Cave and delivered them to the Qingdu Cave Dwelling some time ago. But with recent ceremonies keeping them occupied, the matter had not yet been dealt with.
"I will go at once." Li Minggong nodded and withdrew.
Li Zhouwei turned to Li Chenghui and simply said, "The northern bank is guarded by the white ape and An Siwei. Uncle, I must trouble you to take some men to the Floating Cloud Cave territory, seize control of it, and prevent any mishaps."
Li Chenghui likewise withdrew. Li Zhouwei remained seated in the main position for a while, until Li Ximing manifested out of midair and stood at the head of the hall. The entire grand hall brightened at once.
"Greetings, Daoist Master," said Li Zhouwei.
He rose and stepped aside. At that moment, Li Minggong brought the group of cultivators from Floating Cloud Cave forward. One by one, they lowered their heads timidly, fear written in their eyes.
There were about eighteen or nineteen in the group, most of them cultivators of late Qi Cultivation Realm to Foundation Establishment Realm. They looked utterly miserable and destitute. Many were bearing wounds, and their faces were as ashen as paper.
Li Minggong said respectfully, "Reporting to Daoist Master, here are all the remnants of Floating Cloud Cave. There are thirteen Qi Cultivation Realm cultivators, five at Foundation Establishment Realm, three devil cultivators, and two immortal cultivators."
