Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 506: Value Must Be Weighed

Just as he was about to say something, Li Dalong shook his head at him. ”Brother Tianye, after a little while, I will catch up with you and our other old friends.”

He immediately cupped his fists towards Old Ancestor Tianye, and then, as if he had heard something, headed off in the direction where Soul Duke had fled.

Gazing at the departing figure of Li Dalong, who was treading upon the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, a smile finally appeared on Old Ancestor Tianyeʼs face.

He had even forgotten how many years it had been since he had smiled like that.

”Brother Dalong has returned, so those freaks from the Li family must surely still be alive.”

Immediately after, a cold light glinted in his eyes as he looked towards Han Qiusheng and his group, staring at them until their hair stood on end.

Within the vast sky, as Li Dalong broke through to Divinity Transformation and opened the sixth layer space, the aura of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin was also growing stronger. At a speed that was almost a flicker, it carried Li Dalong soaring into the sky!

A somewhat wistful look was in Li Dalongʼs expression as he stood upon the Heavenly Coffin.

After breaking through to Divinity Transformation, he had long since sensed his old friends from the Azure Cloud region.

Therefore, after his breakthrough, he disregarded the fleeing Soul Duke and appeared before Old Ancestor Tianye at the first possible moment. But when he truly saw his old friend, he actually, suddenly, no longer had the heart to share his joy.

He had thought he was still the same person he once was, but after more than a hundred years, he finally realized he had truly changed.

He had become more timid and even dared not interact too deeply with his old friends from the past.

Because before them, there was still Tian Xing, there was still the hatred from that bygone time, and what came next would be the familyʼs battle for its very survival!

Having thought to this point, a black light flickered in his eyes, and in an instant, he once again headed forward.

Meanwhile.

High above the Endless Forest, Soul Duke was also using a technique to flee.

His Primordial Spirit had also sensed that Li Dalong had overcome the fifth-grade lightning tribulation, and had even seen the scene of the ghostly doors opening wide and the ghostly hands crushing the Eight-Armed Vajra to pieces.

That was a Primordial Spirit Dao Technique of the Human Race!

”How is that possible? He cultivated a Primordial Spirit Dao Technique the moment he broke through? And his Domain and aura... he reached the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation right after breaking through! How... how is that possible?!!”

He saw it now; it was because that coffin was causing all this mischief!

Including the third-grade Divinity Transformation tribulation, becoming a fifth-grade one, it was also that coffin bestowing Rules upon Li Dalong.

Such a fortuitous encounter, even he would not dare to imagine it.

In his thirty thousand-plus years of cultivation, he had only managed to cultivate two ʼPrimordial Spirit Shamanistic Techniquesʼ. But these Primordial Spirit Shamanistic Techniques also vary in strength, and at the very least, from Li Dalongʼs Primordial Spirit Dao Technique, he sensed a dangerous aura.

”That coffin, what in the world is it?!! For over a hundred years, I investigated it for over a hundred years and saw nothing. Yet it actually granted Li Dalong such a great fortuitous encounter, and reduced me to such a sorry state!”

Soul Duke was seething with frustration and worry. However, at this very moment, a figure blocked his path, causing him to start in surprise.

When he saw who it was, his aged face filled with rage.

”Luo Xing?!!”

Luo Xing, who had once participated in the operation to annihilate the Li family members at the Azure Cloud border city, now stood upright in the vast sky.

His Spirit Domain had already unfolded, and lines of Shamanistic Technique array paths completely intercepted the Soul Duke.

Beneath the shimmering light of the formation, the face beneath Luo Xingʼs hood remained expressionless. The wind in the sky caused his empty long sleeve to flutter ceaselessly.

He was seen to part his thin lips. ”In the territory of my Divine Bird Tribe, there are not many places you can safely flee to. If I were you, with danger having arrived, I would flee back to the Divine Bird Totemʼs stronghold without the slightest hesitation. Alternatively, you could flee to other tribes; the Moon Dragon Totem is the closest to this location.”

Isnʼt this direction the very path towards the Moon Dragon Totemʼs territory?

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead. Clearly, Soul Duke had never imagined that a companion he had spent day and night with would actually block his path, and he was even more surprised that Luo Xingʼs mind was so meticulous, intercepting him on his most likely escape route.

Soul Duke could not help but shout coldly, ”Luo Xing, we have been together for many years, yet you would block me for the sake of an outsider? I am an elder, a tribal elder!”

”I know.”

Luo Xingʼs voice was devoid of any emotion. The surrounding arrays grew more and more numerous, and he stated calmly, ”But you are too stupid. You still havenʼt seen Li Dalongʼs value to our Wu Clan. The Li family was annihilated; Li Dalongʼs enemies are not just Tian Xing of Eternal Sun Prefecture, but also the Imperial Preceptor of the Azure Dynasty. That is why I agreed back then when Lei Dong asked me to go and save him.”

”Donʼt you act so high and mighty, as if everything you do is for our Divine Bird Totem!” Soul Duke was seething with uncontrollable anger.

”Back when we wanted Li Dalongʼs coffin, didnʼt you agree to it as well?”

”Value must be weighed.”

Luo Xing remained as calm as still water. ”The coffin couldnʼt be opened, so naturally, it lost its value. For these past hundred-odd years, youʼve wanted Li Dalong dead only so you could obtain the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, havenʼt you? Unfortunately, you took the wrong path again. Making a deal with Lin Wudao of Qilin Mountain was the worst mistake you could have made. Lin Wudao is an avatar of Tian Xing. I have heard his story; if he were to become powerful, I fear it would bring disaster upon our Divine Bird Totem.”

”But Li Dalong is different. He owes our Divine Bird Totem a favor, and he will repay it. Having become a Divinity Transformation expert, he will also go and seek his revenge, and I would be delighted to see all of this happen. Itʼs just a pity...”

”You cannot see things clearly.”

Clouds and mist drifted past his side. It was clearly a day of brilliant sunshine, yet as Luo Xingʼs words fell, bit by bit, into his ears, Soul Duke instead felt an omnipresent cold.

In this moment, Soul Duke knew with absolute clarity that Luo Xing, this emotionless bastard, was truly going to help Li Dalong kill him!

Luo Xing had seen a greater value, and after weighing that value, he, this elder, was someone who could be sacrificed. And moreover, he feared that in Luo Xingʼs eyes, he was no longer pure, because he was the kind of petty man who, for his own selfish interests, would disregard the future of the Divine Bird Totem to scheme privately with Lin Wudao!

”I...”

Soul Duke wanted to say something, but sensing Luo Xingʼs killing intent, he could no longer utter even half a sentence. His face was ashen as death.

From behind him, the sound of something tearing through the air rang out!

Li Dalong and Lei Dong, arriving side-by-side!
