Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1183: Chapter 1177: He’s Not Coming

The cloudy sky was densely covered in dark clouds.

On a giant peak far from where Li Wei and Uncle Rain were battling, the Li Clan members who had finished dealing with their opponents arrived one after another.

The true experts had already been dealt with; the rest were left to Supreme Elder Pu Ci, the newly advanced Void Refining Master Yuming of the Great Ming King Temple, the family retainer Zhuo Linlin, and Yunlin’s Dao Companion, Fairy Hongxiu.

Moreover, there was Old Dragon helping them track down the remnants.

The major factions of the Azure Cloud Prefecture were also helping the Li Clan wrap things up.

“The Old Ancestor told us not to go.”

Atop the mountain peak, Li Yaoqing looked worried.

Based on her understanding of the Old Ancestor over the years, unless he was certain they would be in danger, he would never have stopped them from participating.

She looked at the Old Tree beside her. “Only you can see the situation inside the Dao Domain. Is Uncle Rain really this terrifying?”

“Mhm.”

The Old Tree had reverted to his human form. His brow was full of shock.

Through the ‘Eye of Delusion Breaking’, he could peer into the Dao Domain.

Inside, a drizzle was falling continuously, and any single drop of this drizzle could deal fatal damage to a Divinity Transformation realm cultivator.

Within the boundless expanse of water, there was a suction force that controlled life.

Uncle Rain was the true god within the Dao Domain.

Even his master could only frantically flee for his life within the Dao Domain using spatial rules.

Usually, the Old Tree would boastfully declare, ‘I see it’, but now he only gave a soft ‘Mhm’.

Li Zhiheng took a deep breath, looking at the pillar of fire in the cloudy sky.

“Once Great-Grandfather breaks through to the Body Integration realm, I wonder if he can put up a fight?”

“And Holy Monk Yidian… why hasn’t he come yet?”

…

Inside the Thunder Fire Demon Cave.

Li Chang strolled inside, his face expressionless.

In truth, three months ago, he had warned that Uncle Rain would come to attack, and they had informed Holy Monk Yidian at that time.

Holy Monk Yidian had merely replied ‘Understood’, and there was no further follow-up.

In this battle, even Taotie, who harbored dissatisfaction toward the family, participated in the fight on the iceberg, helping Li Xinjue and Li Xinri deal with the foreign enemies.

But Holy Monk Yidian still hadn’t moved.

Li Chang had no choice but to come personally.

Walking through the demon-filled cave, he gradually reached the abyss within it. There, he saw Holy Monk Yidian sitting cross-legged on the ground, still tapping his wooden fish as calmly as the wind and clouds, as if whatever was happening outside had absolutely nothing to do with him.

“Chang greets the Holy Monk.” A barely noticeable trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Li Chang’s expression.

Holy Monk Yidian’s Dao Seed had been broken by their Azure Cloud Li Clan; otherwise, the monk would still be a slave under Min Tiange right now. Yet, this Body Integration mighty figure who had received the Li Clan’s profound grace remained completely indifferent.

“Are you complaining?”

Holy Monk Yidian finally opened his eyes, seemingly capable of seeing through all worldly affairs and all people in the mortal realm.

Li Chang simply stopped hiding his thoughts. “Holy Monk, please lend us a hand.”

“This poor monk knows Uncle Rain.”

Holy Monk Yidian said expressionlessly, “He is just like this poor monk, controlled by Min Tiange’s Dao Seed. Give him what he wants, and he will stand with us.”

Li Chang lowered his eyes. “And if he wants more?”

“Give it to him.”

“And if he wants our lives?”

Holy Monk Yidian fell silent; only the sound of the wooden fish tapping echoed in the abyss.

At this, Li Chang finally couldn’t hold back. He clenched his fists. He knew that no matter how glib his tongue was, he couldn’t sway this Body Integration mighty figure.

This Holy Monk seemed to have already made his own choice.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Holy Monk, our Li Clan helped you before. Now is the time for you to repay us. This is only reasonable.”

“The favor I owe you, I will naturally repay.”

“Tock, tock, tock…”

The wooden fish continued to sound. The heart of a Buddha.

Li Chang’s heart skipped a beat. He then walked out of the Thunder Fire Demon Cave, his face gradually turning pale.

A Dark Crow flew toward the dark clouds and thunder in the cloudy sky.

In the abyss.

Sensing Li Chang’s departing aura, Holy Monk Yidian let out a long sigh. “Amitabha. Excellent, excellent.”

Though physically inside the demon cave, Holy Monk Yidian could equally sense Uncle Rain’s aura, the great battle in the cloudy sky, and the aura of Li Yaotie breaking through to the Body Integration realm.

But this was far from enough.

The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor and Li Yaotie were as fragile as infants in front of Uncle Rain.

The people of the Li Clan were far from realizing what they were actually facing.

“Even this poor monk could at most only delay Uncle Rain.

Everywhere beneath the Azure Cloud Prefecture is a place Uncle Rain can reach with a single thought.

Everything he wants will fall into his hands. This poor monk cannot stop it; everything is just in vain.”

Holy Monk Yidian sighed, “Giving him what he wants is the will of heaven, and it is also the price for making him join us.”

“The Li Clan might not understand now, but when this poor monk asks Uncle Rain to be lenient and leave a path of survival for the Li Clan’s experts, they will understand my Buddha’s mercy.”

An hour passed.

A Dark Crow cried out and landed on Li Yaoqing’s hand.

Her expression instantly turned ugly.

“What’s wrong?” The Old Tree’s eyes turned slightly cold.

“He’s not coming. The old monk! The old monk!” Li Yaoqing stomped her foot.

“I knew we couldn’t trust an outsider! He’s a motherfucking Buddha, while Huan Gui and Taotie are demons in their eyes. But compared to them, that old monk isn’t even worth a single hair!”

This was the first time Li Yaoqing had ever cursed so vehemently.

“He wouldn’t come.”

Possessing a heart of untainted purity and unique insight, Li Zhiheng touched his chest.

In times like these, the bewitchment of the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart often revealed the truth.

He said expressionlessly, “My heart tells me that Holy Monk Yidian is making comparisons.”

“Comparisons?” The Old Tree’s voice was freezing.

“Mhm,” Li Zhiheng said.

“Holy Monk Yidian once had a Dao Seed planted in him by Min Tiange. To him, Min Tiange is his only enemy in this entire world.

Perhaps he wishes to kill Min Tiange to accumulate the karmic opportunity needed to break through to the Mahayana realm.”

The Old Tree and Li Yaoqing’s expressions turned chilling.

Li Zhiheng continued,

“For him, Uncle Rain suffers from the same affliction and would become Holy Monk Yidian’s most powerful helper.

With Uncle Rain’s help, his chances of dealing with Min Tiange are much greater.

Furthermore, Holy Monk Yidian is a Body Integration mighty figure, and even more so, a Buddha. He sees through many things.

Although we helped him, there is absolutely no possibility of making him risk his life for us.”

“He wouldn’t risk his life fighting Uncle Rain, and there’s no need to. Why would he make an enemy out of his own helper? He might even…”

Li Zhiheng pressed his hand against his heart.

The bewitchment from his heart nearly broke through his pure heart.

He had to stay calm at all times—the angrier he got, the more crucial this became.

Yet even without him finishing,

Li Yaoqing still understood everything.

“He might even be hoping Uncle Rain delivers a killing blow to us. Uncle Rain would grow stronger, which would in turn benefit him.

Only when we are on the brink of extermination would he finally appear to preserve our bloodline. By doing so, he repays what he owes us.”

“He has always been a stranger. His concepts of right and wrong differ from ours, and his grand strategy and goals are also different from ours.”

The Old Tree’s red hair stood on end. Gritting his teeth, he stomped heavily, sending crushed stones flying. “Despicable monk! Despicable monk!!!”

“Prepare yourselves.” Li Yaoqing’s body trembled. “We can only rely on ourselves.”

“It’s always been that way.”

…

“Ungrateful wretch. From now on, you had better not fall into my hands; otherwise, I will definitely suppress you in the Cliff of Reflection.”

At the border between Azure Cloud Prefecture and Westfall Prefecture, within a Void Refining space virtually indistinguishable from the real world, Li Yunlin reached out his hand, slicing open a spatial tear.

The Dark Crow landed on his hand.

Glancing at the intelligence it carried, he merely muttered a single sentence.

At this moment, his entire body was the color of a starry sky. The Skyveil Hall had merged into his body.

The Skyveil Physique, combined with the Skyveil Halberd, rendered his aura utterly majestic, so much so that even Banshu Ao’s Void Refining space was trembling.

Having fought him for several hours, Banshu Ao’s face was now as pale as paper.

Floating far away above a rift cleaved into the ground, he stared in sheer terror at the pitch-black Li Yunlin, muttering the word, “Impossible.”

“No… how could you possibly cleave through my ‘World’ rules? Within my rules, everything is an illusion. No one can break them! No one!”

After several hours, he truly felt the terror of Li Yunlin!

Once the Skyveil Hall was deployed, it shattered into fragments and merged into Li Yunlin’s body, changing everything.

The Void Refining techniques he took so much pride in couldn’t even break through Li Yunlin’s body.

In Li Yunlin’s eyes, the entire ‘World’ rule posed absolutely no obstacle.

Li Yunlin’s Skyveil Physique fused dozens of rules, twenty-three of which had reached the absolute peak of the Void Refining realm.

Half-Step… Body Integration. And an elite among Half-Step Body Integration experts at that.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, Banshu Ao’s train of thought was severed.

A gust of wind—strong enough to blow away almost anything—distorted his face and sent his hair whipping backward.

Everything before his eyes turned dark and gloomy.

Li Yunlin had arrived right in front of him with extreme speed.

The ultimate coercive pressure suffocated him.

He could only fearfully and with great difficulty raise his stiff head, unconsciously widening his terrified eyes.

The pair of eyes beneath the black helmet seemed capable of seeing through all things!

A low voice echoed in his ear, “My apologies, my family has enemies to deal with, so I won’t play with you anymore.”

“Pfft!”

A burst of intense pain erupted from his abdomen.

The power of twenty-three rules pierced through his flesh and soul from his stomach.

As brightness returned to his vision, Li Yunlin had already disappeared without a trace.

Banshu Ao blankly opened his eyes, drifting powerlessly from the cloudy sky toward the ground.

“How is it possible… how is it possible… I… within my realm… am invincible…”

Everything he had was destroyed.

His consciousness was dissipating.

Watching his ‘World’ Void Refining space shatter inch by inch, even though he understood what had happened, he couldn’t believe it.

He, who was hailed by the world as invincible within every realm, was actually killed so easily.

Beneath Li Yunlin’s Skyveil Physique—fused from the Skyveil Hall—he was as weak as a crawling bug. As for Li Yunlin…

It seemed he had merely found a somewhat decent opponent.

And used him… for target practice.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!!!”

A desperate, enraged dying roar echoed from behind.

The Skyveil Physique on Li Yunlin’s body gradually vanished, and he reverted to the appearance of a Daoist priest with an immortal bearing and Daoist bones.

Holding a whisk in one hand and a spinning multifaceted cube in the other, he seemingly hadn’t heard a single sound from behind.

He only frowned, staring at the pillar of fire in the cloudy sky and the great battle amidst the dark clouds.

“Old Cat,” Li Yunlin said in a low voice.

The Skyveil Hall manifested a dark shadow. The old cat crouched on Li Yunlin’s shoulder.

Giving the sky a slight glance, he already understood what Li Yunlin wanted to ask. He shook his head.

“Can’t win. The monk your old Li family hid has his own agenda; he’s not coming. We don’t have much hope.”

“Even if we can’t win, we still have to fight!”

…

“Clank, clank.”

The chain rattled.

Li Kuanghua had also received the news. Pulling the chain, she led Nun Dairou forward.

The Dark Crow on her shoulder gradually vanished, making her puff out her cheeks.

She tightened her grip on the chain behind her.

“I knew it! You scripture-chanting folks are never to be trusted!”

“Amitabha,” Nun Dairou chanted numbly.

“Hmph, do you really think we’re out of options just because we don’t have your Holy Monk Yidian?” Li Kuanghua’s twin tails swung wildly.

“This is Azure Cloud Prefecture, the territory of our old Li family! If you’re a monk, then stay put and chant your scriptures! If you’re a god, then stay hidden in your temple!”

“Roar!”

A black dragon flew through the cloudy sky. Li Kuanghua’s eyes lit up. Pulling Nun Dairou along, she sat upon the dragon’s back.

“Kuanghua!” The massive dragon head turned around. Old dragon eyes, brimming with fury, gleamed brightly.

Li Kuanghua faced the cloudy sky directly. “Old dragon, do you dare follow me into battle?!”

“Hahaha, what do I have to fear?”

Old Root laughed heartily. Thunder and dark clouds were perfect places for him. With both his family and his master here, Azure Cloud Prefecture was where he soared.

Even in the past, he feared no one. Even a god couldn’t make him tremble!

What’s more, he was now a Divine Dragon!

“We must kick his ass!”

The Divine Dragon roared in fury.
