Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 149: Just how many friends have you secretly made

[Your descendants, the Seven Ironclad, are heading towards Emerald Pines Temple.]

[Li Tianshuang is heading towards the swampy jungle.]

[Li Tianqi is heading towards the Lake of Sinking Hearts.]

[...]

As each message appeared before Li Weiʼs eyes, he finally smiled with genuine joy.

The Li family descendants on the map were like flower buds waiting to bloom, blossoming outwards from the Li family residence in all directions.

The Pig Demon Kingʼs years of effort had not been in vain. The children of the Li family were spreading out, carrying his will with them. They had lived up to his expectations!

In the past, it was the Pig Demon King who carried the children everywhere. Now, the children of the Li family, bearing the Pig Demon Kingʼs hatred and beliefs, were also running beyond the Li family home.

”Huu.”

Li Wei let out a long breath.

As time accelerated, the lingering notes of Li Tianyiʼs music faded, and the first light of dawn began to dispel the darkness, illuminating the entire Li family residence, giving it a vibrant and flourishing aura.

The Li family suddenly fell silent, like a suppressed volcano or a sharpened blade concealed in its sheath, ready to unleash its edge at any moment.

Mr. Huang Xiujin of the Cloudsea Pavilion also stayed at the Li family residence.

He stood at the highest point of the Li familyʼs buildings, observing everything, watching the Li family members go from grief to silence, and then seeing the descendants leave home one by one.

Huang Xiujin felt a shiver run down his spine.

With the sudden appearance of the message ”It should be the enemy who grieves” above the Li family residence, it was as if a giant dragon had burst forth from the ground.

”I thought the war between the two sects would gradually end, and the entire Azure Cloud region would be peaceful again. But... everything has just begun. I wonder which scoundrel has caused such a monstrous disaster.”

With a sigh, something flew towards him from afar. Huang Xiujin caught the paper crane, and a white light flowed into his head. He narrowed his eyes, hesitation flickering in his gaze.

The paper crane in his hand turned to ashes.

He took a deep breath, seemingly making up his mind, and then flew towards the main hall of the Li family residence.

Inside the hall, he saw Li Dalong and his wife. Although the head of the Li family was Li Yunbing, Huang Xiujin knew clearly that while Li Dalong might not be as cunning or ambitious as Li Yunbing, but he was the true cornerstone of the Li family.

Even now... his divination technique could no longer discern Li Dalongʼs true strength. A withered corpse completely obscured his vision.

”Brother Dalong, Sister-in-law Cuihua.”

Huang Xiujin took a deep breath, then let out a long sigh. At this moment, he hesitated no more. He took out a spirit stone, transferred a portion of his memories to Li Dalong, and said with a wry smile, ”Brother Dalong, this matter... let it go.”

Li Dalong and his wife silently accepted the spirit stone, then shook their heads at Huang Xiujin without a word. They were waiting.

Huang Xiujin didnʼt try to persuade them further. He sat quietly to the side and called for a servant girl to pour him some tea.

He knew that from the moment he shared everything he knew with the Li family, he had already boarded the same boat as them.

He had always been cautious and prudent throughout his life, often resorting to schemes and tricks.

But this time, he wanted to gamble.

He couldnʼt see the future, but he believed in what he had witnessed in the Li family. He believed in their loyalty to fight for their Demon King and in those eagles flying out from their home.

Soon, a cloud of mist drifted from outside into the Li family residence and transformed into a human figure. This person was dressed in black, with a face mask and a bamboo hat, exuding a chilling killing intent.

As this person landed within the Li family grounds, Huang Xiujin was startled.

He recalled an assassin organization that had suddenly emerged in the Azure Cloud region in recent years. No one knew who their leader was, only that they recruited orphaned and destitute children from the slums and trained them meticulously. They hid within the bustling marketplaces, and their spies and informants spread throughout the Azure Cloud region. Perhaps even the beggars on the streets were their people.

They also recruited skilled individuals, keeping a close watch on major powers and factions.

They particularly liked to subtly guide those skilled individuals who were being oppressed. If someone was being hunted, they would find ways to rescue them. Or if someone was on the verge of death, it wouldnʼt be long before their people appeared before the dying person and provided treatment. They would also seek out those harboring hatred, forced to hide in the marketplaces, and promise to help them take revenge at any cost.

These sufferers, before long, would join their ranks. This assassin organization, like a snowball, grew larger and larger as it rolled along.

Its name was—

Dawn.

But those who encountered Dawn usually never saw the light of day again.

The assassin entered and glanced at Huang Xiujin, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head and sipped his tea.

”One of our own.” Li Dalong nodded towards the assassin, then touched the ancestral tablet placed on the table beside the main seat.

Upon seeing the ancestral tablet, the assassin nodded, knelt on one knee towards it, and with a flash of their storage ring, tossed a spirit stone to Li Dalong. ”The message from Dawn has been delivered. If there are no further orders, Iʼll take my leave.”

Li Dalong simply waved his hand, and the assassin vanished into a wisp of smoke.

”Brother Li.”

Huang Xiujin was about to say something but quickly fell silent. He suppressed his surging Spiritual power as he sensed... a familiar demonic cultivator!

An old man appeared, riding a cloud across the sky above the Li family residence. Landing on the ground, he picked up a wooden gourd and poured wine into his mouth, stumbling as he walked into the main hall. He reeked of alcohol, his bulbous nose particularly red and swollen. His small body seemed as if it could collapse at any moment. Finally, he let out a loud burp, his eyes bleary, but he stared at Huang Xiujin with an amused glint.

”...”

Huang Xiujin wrinkled his nose in resignation, quickly glancing around before picking up his teacup and using the lid to brush away the tea leaves. He sipped his tea, one mouthful at a time.

But even though he was trying to keep a low profile, the drunken old man still walked over to him. A wave of alcohol fumes assaulted Huang Xiujinʼs nostrils, making him grimace. To make matters worse, the drunkard patted him on the shoulder, causing the tea in his cup to spill onto his clothes.

”Oh, isnʼt this the old swindler from the Cloudsea Pavilion? Tsk tsk, you were so arrogant in your youth, undefeated throughout Azure Cloud region, with no one among your peers in Azure Cloud region able to match you. What were you always ranting about? Oh, right, you wanted to look down upon everyone in Azure Cloud.”

”Tsk tsk, a hundred years have passed since we last met, and youʼre still at the middle stage of Golden Core, havenʼt made any progress at all? Oh dear, and your lifespan is almost up, isnʼt it?”

Well, now all my background has been exposed.

He gnashed his teeth, somewhat exasperated. ”You drunken madman, donʼt go too far! If this werenʼt the Li family residence, believe me, I...”

The drunken madman rolled his eyes. His filthy, black fingers, with dirt crusted under his nails, pointed at Huang Xiujin. ”This sly old fox, is he also one of our own?”

One of our own???

Hmm???

Huang Xiujin stared at Li Dalong and his wife, blinking repeatedly, as if to say, bribing them is one thing, but one of our own? Arenʼt you afraid of death, colluding with such a villainous and dangerous person?

But to his surprise, Li Dalong nodded, quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and then touched the ancestral tablet beside him. ”Senior, have you brought the item?”

The drunken madman glanced at the ancestral tablet. ”Hmm, this tablet only has the character ʼLiʼ on it. It seems to be the right place, and the feeling is right too.”

His expression became slightly more respectful as he took a large gulp of wine.

”Of course I brought it. I reckon you two have also gathered quite a bit of information. Letʼs put it all together and see what we have. This matter has become quite serious; weʼll even needed six diviners to calculate the outcome.”

Li Dalong didnʼt hesitate. His storage ring shimmered.

Huang Xiujin looked up and saw more than a dozen spirit stones, each shimmering with various lights, rising into the air. His face, which had just contorted in displeasure at the drunken madmanʼs appearance, now became a picture of astonishment.

For the first time, he wanted to curse.

A message from an assassin and a demonic cultivator was one thing, but he was the one who had delivered the news first. But now...

The Li family, youʼve hidden yourselves well! Just how many friends have you secretly made behind my back all these years???

Apparently reaching his breaking point, he looked up at the sky and sighed. No longer caring about the drunken madman, he focused on sipping his tea.
