Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 745: The Pre-Wedding Gift

In the main hall, Li Changʼan still had a puzzled look.

”Itʼs just that... the robbing of all the familiesʼ and clansʼ treasuries is truly strange.”

Hearing this, Li Kuangren furrowed his brow and said:

”I already went and asked Great-Uncle Tianyi. He said he did rob the Ding familyʼs treasury.”

”Ah?” Li Changʼan was stunned.

But he saw Li Kuangren shake his head.

”He only heard about the robberies. When the Ding familyʼs treasury was looted of ten percent, he thought it was free for the taking—so he went and emptied the rest himself! Just took advantage of the chaos. Typical.

The only pity is that treasury apparently wasnʼt a very important one.

It was just some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and a few supreme-grade spirit artifacts, thatʼs all.”

As he spoke, Li Kuangren also looked somewhat exasperated. ”You know, if those three elders in our family actually did something proper one day, that would be the truly earth-shattering event.”

Li Changʼan and Li Xinnian both nodded in deep agreement.

If it werenʼt for this, it wouldnʼt be the case that no matter whose tomb gets robbed, everyone comes looking for trouble with the Li family.

In other families, itʼs the elders who clean up the juniorsʼ messes. But in the Li family, itʼs the juniors.

”But who on earth actually did it?”

Li Xinnian pondered for a moment.

”In the entire Duravia Trade Prefecture and Eternal Sun Prefecture, besides our Li family and the Zhao Clan, truly no one else has the ability and influence to rob the treasuries of every family and clan at the same time.

This matter is especially strange. The other party... seems to be helping our Li family?”

”Oh?” Li Changʼan already had an idea in his heart, but he still asked Li Xinnian, ”What do you think?”

”Grandfather must already have the answer in his heart.” Li Xinnian said modestly.

”At the very time the Zhao Clan is making things difficult for our Li family, the treasuries of the various Duravia Trade Prefecture families were robbed.

This will undoubtedly make every family and clan apprehensive, and they will have to seriously reconsider whether or not to stand on the same warship as the Zhao Clan.

Otherwise, they wouldnʼt have only stolen ten percent. This also gives our Li family and the great families room to maneuver.”

”Xinnian is right. The other party intends to use this situation to our advantage.”

Li Changʼan smiled. ”If I hadnʼt already been prepared, I could have used this very matter of the treasuries being robbed to make an issue of it myself.”

His voice had barely faded. He saw Zishu Wandong, whom Li Changʼan had asked to capture the person, approaching.

Li Changʼan hurriedly went up to meet her. ”Wangchong... Miss Wandong, I wonder, were you able to catch that person?”

Hearing this, Zishu Wandong glanced left and right. For some reason, she didnʼt see that insufferably arrogant and slightly hard-of-hearing Li Xinghuo. Only then did she give a bitter smile and say:

”My apologies. That person possesses a skilled escape technique and is also extremely cautious. I already used every trick I had, but he still managed to escape.”

Li Changʼan furrowed his brow, but his expression quickly eased.

Zishu Wandong said: ”When I was using my Immortal Palaceʼs secret technique, that thief was also terrified I would fight him to the death. He said he came from Skypeak and had no grievance with my Perennis Immortal Palace, and told me to think it over carefully.”

”Skypeak?”

The three of them exchanged a glance. They had all memorized the great powers known to the Hall of Heavenly Principle, but this ”Skypeak” was unheard of.

They feared it must be some reclusive, hidden power.

Li Changʼan, having learned the other partyʼs origin, cupped his fists toward Zishu Wandong and said, ”Thank you, young lady. If you wouldnʼt mind, you are welcome to come to my Li familyʼs Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda to cultivate for a time.”

”In that case, I thank you.” Zishu Wandong was instantly delighted.

The Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda had nine layers and possessed a time-flow rate double that of the mortal world. It was truly a good place for cultivation.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi there was dense, as it was the center of a Rank 4 Spirit Vein.

Inside, there were also the lingering Dao Rhymes of various Divinity Transformation experts, which could even enhance oneʼs comprehension.

The higher the layer, the faster the cultivation speed. Even the Li family members themselves could only reach the sixth layer.

It was rumored that the Li family members cultivated inside it day after day, and outsiders had to wait in a long line just to enjoy this benefit.

Iʼve really scored, she thought, hee hee.

”Skypeak.”

After Zishu Wandong left, Li Changʼanʼs brow was still furrowed.

”Second Uncle, Iʼm afraid another formidable power has arrived in our vicinity.”

”Who knows if they are just passersby, or a power just like the Zhao Clan?”

Li Kuangren waved his hand and said, ”However, this Skypeak doesnʼt seem to bear us any ill will. It secretly helped our Li family. We just need to go and ask the Old Ancestor.”

The Old Ancestor was right here.

Li Wei scratched his head. He had never heard of this Skypeak either, but before his eyes...

[Your family has received a gift from Skypeak. The treasuries of every family and clan in the Duravia Trade Prefecture were robbed of ten percent, and your family has obtained a large quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.]

[Obtained Rank 5 Pill Formula—Divine Mechanism Pill: After consuming, comprehension for perceiving Heaven and Earth Rules is increased for one year!]

[Obtained Rank 5 Ore Materials...]

”Hmm?” Li Wei was stunned for a moment. ”Where did these treasures come from?”

But very quickly, he received a message sent from the Skyveil Sect.

[Your descendant, Li Yunlin, only felt a gust of sinister wind blow past, and a storage ring appeared before his eyes, leaving him dumbstruck.

He discovered the large quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside and is asking you what should be done?]

At this moment, in the sky outside the Duravia Trade Prefectureʼs Perennis Immortal Palace, a kind-faced old man looked down in gratification.

Within the Immortal Dais of the Perennis Immortal Palace, he saw an immortal couple nestled closely together.

The two of them stared at the storage ring before them, their faces full of confusion.

The old manʼs face was wreathed in smiles.

”Good kid,” he said, ”I never expected that in the days I was gone, the Skyveil Sect would actually become such a great power under your leadership... a hundred times more glorious than the Skyveil Sect of the past.

And youʼve also found such a Dao companion... Consider the treasuries of all the families and clans in the Duravia Trade Prefecture as the pre-wedding gift your Master is giving you!”

With his words finished, the old man and the many white-robed cultivators behind him vanished into the night sky.

The conversation of the numerous cultivators could be heard:

”Elder Jiuyou, the Zhao Clanʼs people are coming to investigate. The Sect Master tells us to leave quickly and not to stir up trouble.”

”How does stealing a few things count as stirring up trouble? Are we supposed to be afraid of their Zhao Clan?”

”Itʼs still better to be low-key. In an age of such great chaos, since we are re-entering the world, we must not make too many enemies. Selecting a new base is the priority.”

”...”

At the Perennis Immortal Dais.

Li Yunlin stared at the storage ring in his hand, his face still full of confusion.

He was just settling down to sleep with the Fairy when an ill wind had suddenly blown from nowhere, causing him to nearly lose his composure.

Fairy Hongxiuʼs face was still flushed. ”Yunlin, the other party used a Divinity Transformation technique. That technique is at least high-grade Earth-rank. Their tracks will be hard to find.”

”Mm.”

Li Yunlin said in a grave voice, ”Thereʼs no such thing as a great gift for no reason in this world. We shouldnʼt covet it. Letʼs leave it here for a few years and find a criminal from the prison to try opening it, in case thereʼs a trap.”

”Why have you become so cautious?” Fairy Hongxiu was stunned for a moment.

Li Yunlin smiled and said, ”Thereʼs a child in my clan who always acts just like this.”

Fairy Hongxiu didnʼt dwell on it. Right now, her entire heart and mind were on Li Yunlin.

She gently stroked her belly and said with a smile, ”Iʼve already gone to your Second Aunt and asked for a miraculous spirit elixir. I just wonder when you and I will be able to have a child of our own.”

”You...” Li Yunlin was stunned for a moment. He knew very well what a big mouth his Second Aunt had.

”You told Second Aunt? Then... my clansmen...”

Fairy Hongxiu rolled her eyes. ”They knew long ago.”

”Ah?”

On the Perennis Immortal Dais, the Old Ancestor (Li Wei) was covering his eyes with his hand, but there was a large gap open between his fingers.

Not only did I know, he thought, I also... hmm, the Old Ancestor didnʼt see anything at all.
