Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 123: Heaven-rank ‘Triad Assassins’

Hearing the rumbling sound from outside Su Family Town, Li Wei switched the view. He knew Li Dalong and his wife could handle the trouble before them.

In the display, he saw Elder Qiuli of the Skyveil Sect standing above the clouds of Five Peaks Mountain with his robes fluttering without a breeze. Thousands of burning talismans floated behind him, turning the clear daylight into what seemed like a sunset over Five Peaks Mountain.

At this moment, Elder Qiuli resembled a fiery phoenix with its plumage spread wide!

With a wave of his hand, thousands of talismans surged forward. Their power was so immense that Li Yunlin and the others, merely sensing the aura, hurriedly distanced themselves. Within Su Family Town, all the members of the Su family looked up at the sky, their faces filled with terror and despair as they felt the mid-Golden Core stage pressure emanating from Elder Qiuli high above, along with the sight of talismans resembling a burning cloud.

Li Wei clicked on Elder Qiuliʼs profile.

[Skyveil Sect Elder - Qiuli]

[7th-grade Talisman Master]

”A 7th-grade Talisman Master!, If he were to start a company on Earth, heʼd make a killing!”

Looking at the high-spirited Elder Qiuli on the screen, Li Wei couldnʼt help but express his admiration.

In this world, no matter what kind of specialized profession, they were all forces to be reckoned with.

As for Talisman Masters, their attack methods were more ferocious and direct.

Simply put, they inscribed spells and martial techniques onto talismans, which could then be activated with a tiny bit of spiritual power. Theoretically, with sufficient materials and preparation time, a Talisman Master could even take on several times, or even more, opponents of the same cultivation level!

”No wonder this Elder Qiuli is so arrogant, launching a furious bombardment of talismans without any hesitation.”

However, Li Wei still shook his head. He still remembered the intelligence reported by Yaoqing and Yaowen: Li Yunlin had fallen into a trap, and none of their actions had escaped the eyes of Elder Qiuye of the Skyveil Sect.

In Li Weiʼs view, as the talismans approached the Su Family Town, the Su family members in the town were like ants encountering fire from the sky, frantically fleeing from the hundreds of talismans raining down from above.

Small text appeared above their heads.

”A Golden Core cultivator is here to exterminate us! Someone, help!”

”Ancestor, come out quickly! All of us, your descendants, are relying on you!”

”Whereʼs the head of the family? Quickly report to the ancestor!”

”...”

Look at that, even a Golden Core family has the fine tradition of calling upon their ancestors in times of trouble.

Li Wei suddenly straightened his back and puffed out his chest, a hint of pride in his expression. He recalled the several times the Li family residence had been invaded. The Li descendants werenʼt as cowardly as the Su descendants; the Li family wouldnʼt run. They would take up their swords and spears and fight alongside their enemies!

However, the Su family membersʼ panic was clearly unnecessary.

The intelligence from Li Yaoqing and Li Yaowen was indeed accurate!

Suddenly...

”Screech!”

Sharp bird cries rang out one after another. Around the Su family, nine 27-meter totems, each engraved with a giant bird, rose from nine different directions!

In an instant, a hundred giant shadows of cyan spiritual birds appeared within Su Family Town, intercepting the hundred 8th-grade talismans launched by Elder Qiuli.

In the next moment, three spirit tools materialized out of thin air and rose into the sky. They were a gourd, a halberd, and a red silk ribbon, all spirit tools. Forming a pincer attack, they blocked Elder Qiuliʼs path, and three Golden Core cultivators, two men and one woman, appeared!

Elder Qiuliʼs expression drastically changed as another grand formation arose from the Su family.

Five False Core cultivators, seemingly prepared beforehand, appeared from the five mountains surrounding Su Family Town. Though their cultivation was low, they cut their palms, and a small amount of blood floated upwards, forming a blood-red canopy that trapped the four Golden Core experts within. It was clear they were creating a separate battlefield.

Simultaneously, Su family Foundation Establishment experts flew on their swords, encircling Li Yunlin and the numerous disciples of the Leaving Heaven Sect from all directions!

...

The intelligence that Li Yaowen had previously reported to the ancestral tablet appeared before Li Weiʼs eyes.

[Skyveil Sect Elder Qiuye was a cunning and scheming man.]

[That day, at the Skyveil Sectʼs martial arts tournament, he saw Li Yunlin kill someone in public and recognized him as a person who would take revenge for the slightest grievance. Therefore, he deliberately had the Su family go to Azure Cloud region to hire assassins to kill Li Yunlin and then leaked a trace of clues afterward.]

[The vengeful Li Yunlin would inevitably harbor resentment and eventually come to the Su family to exterminate them in revenge.]

[He had someone from another region hire the infamous Heaven-rank ʼTriad Assassinsʼ from the Hall of Death, promising Li Yunlinʼs Nine Spirit Mystic Flame as a reward, and set an ambush at the Su family estate beforehand. This way, he could avenge his disciple and eliminate Li Yunlin, a vengeful competitor for the next sect leader position. Moreover, since Li Yunlin was the one who brought trouble upon himself, it would have nothing to do with Qiuye.]
