Li Su moved!
He would not wait until the Witch Sage Seed had been taken before killing someone and snatching it away.
There was no way to guarantee that these people would not use the Witch Sage Seed immediately after obtaining it.
If that happened, things would become incomparably troublesome.
Even if he killed them, he would not be able to retrieve the Witch Sage Seed.
Therefore, to ensure that the Witch Sage Seed ended up in his hands, he had to seize it at the very first opportunity.
Of course, it would not be that easy.
Although most of the Human Emperor Dynasty's people were suppressing those noble witches, the dozens charging toward the Witch Sage Seed were all extremely powerful—without question, quasi-Witch Kings at the perfected level.
These people were most likely the "immortals" from those sects, having broken through the shackles of the immortal realm and reached the realm of True Immortals.
No wonder they had moved their entire households to Central Province to cooperate with the Human Emperor Dynasty's actions. The Human Emperor truly was generous, granting them the power to surpass their limits.
Even if this power would likely be of little use in the future Nine Provinces, and the ultimate outcome would still be an inescapable calamity, at least they had broken through for now.
A bloody battle was unavoidable.
Though he had sufficient confidence in his own strength, he had never broken through. Facing a group of perfected quasi-Witch Kings could hardly be called easy.
The only thing worth celebrating was that, within this grotto-heaven, cultivators could not use their methods. If they wanted to fight him to the death, they could only employ the methods of witches.
In other words, Li Su would likely be facing attacks centered around witch patterns.
