Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1271: Chapter 1265: If They Die, They Die

Amidst the crowd’s astonished expressions, Li Wei was also observing these Daoist friends.

The Zhangsun Clan were old friends.

While many factions in Redmere Prefecture had evacuated early on, Zhangsun Buhuo, despite her usual careful calculations, possessed a rare boldness when it came to major events.

Most importantly, she saw this as a high-stakes gamble; having fled twice, the Zhangsun Clan desperately needed a new territory.

As long as the Southern Frontier could survive this great tribulation, Grandhaven Prefecture would belong to the Zhangsun Clan.

The Zhangsun Clan brought seventy percent of their experts, and their Old Ancestor had also come.

Her name was Zhangsun Feng. The tradition of women leading the family was an ancient one, and Zhangsun Feng was undoubtedly its founder.

This Dao-Comprehending expert, who had lived for forty thousand years, wore no makeup.

With a round face and bright eyes, her petite, delicate features could be described as exquisite and gentle.

Dressed in simple green robes, her silky black hair cascaded and fluttered in the wind.

She was a master of the sword, the tassel of her three-foot green blade swaying like her hair.

Ancestor Lan of the Eternal Immortal Sect remained as remarkably steady as ever—he didn’t show up.

Yet, despite the Eternal Immortal Sect lacking a Body Integration expert present, they didn’t fall short in the slightest.

The Eternal Immortal Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall was arguably their top combat force beneath Ancestor Lan.

Only about a hundred people had come; rumor had it these hundred individuals had been painstakingly cultivated by Ancestor Lan since childhood, eating and living together, resulting in a hundred minds acting as one and vastly multiplying the power of their array formations.

Back then, it was precisely the Law Enforcement Hall that had slain a Body Integration expert for the Eternal Immortal Sect.

The leader, Lin Yunzhi, had been steeped in the Void Refinement realm for forty thousand years.

Though old and frail, causing his white robes to hang loosely, his deeply wrinkled face bore the indifferent look of someone who had seen it all.

Li Wei knew of this Lin Yunzhi; he was a pure-hearted man within the Eternal Immortal Sect, where black was black and white was white.

He usually loathed the people of the Li Clan the most, uniquely appreciating only the brothers Li Jianning, Li Jianshu, and Li Chang.

He often said that if the Azure Cloud Li Clan didn’t have normal people like them, they would have been purged by the Imperial Dynasty long ago.

Among them was a burly, broad-shouldered, sharp-featured middle-aged man whose face radiated boundless majesty.

Dressed in black robes, he was currently petting the head of a terrifyingly aura-infused iron-eating beast, which was baring its fangs at Jade Mist Valley.

This was the Old Ancestor of the Xuanyuan Clan from in Redmere Prefecture, Xuanyuan Liqun!

The Xuanyuan Clan was a hidden immortal clan that had existed for many years, renowned for their benevolence.

Look at the Zhangsun Clan—just through the introduction of Jiang Tianjun of the Heavenly Monarch Dao Sanctuary, the Xuanyuan Clan had granted the Zhangsun Clan a place in Redmere Prefecture.

This was Li Wei’s first time seeing the Xuanyuan Clan’s Old Ancestor, Xuanyuan Liqun, and the iron-eating beast by his side… a giant panda, a Half-Step Body Integration giant panda.

Rumor had it that it was the guardian deity passed down through generations of the Xuanyuan Clan, much older than even Xuanyuan Liqun himself.

And this time, the Xuanyuan Clan had brought almost all the cultivators of Redmere Prefecture with them.

……..

Within Jade Mist Valley.

Even Immortal Linghu’s face was exceptionally grim.

Beside him, the Fox Saint’s gaze was complex, seemingly searching for something among the arriving forces of the Li Clan. “My disciple didn’t come. Good.”

That was until he saw Daoist Mosquito.

Through the grand array, Daoist Mosquito was similarly staring back at the Fox Saint.

As the former master and servant saw each other again, Daoist Mosquito furrowed his brow, his expression filled mostly with incomprehension and confusion.

The Fox Saint shook his head, looking away as if he had never cast a single glance at Daoist Mosquito.

He turned to the heavy-faced Immortal Linghu and said,

“Gathering so many Body Integration experts… such a spectacle has only been seen during your Imperial Dynasty’s great war with the Wu Tribe in the Western Frontier.

Are you truly not going to consider surrendering right now? If a great battle breaks out, your disciples, grand-disciples, and clansmen…”

The Fox Saint glanced at the terrified cultivators within Jade Mist Valley.

A brief struggle flashed through Immortal Linghu’s eyes, but it quickly turned back to absolute clarity. “What about the people of your Peerless Hall?”

“We aren’t close. If they die, they die.”

Hearing this, Immortal Linghu suddenly burst into loud laughter.

“Well said! ‘If they die, they die’! The immortal path is vast and boundless; why should we fear a battle?”

In the distance, Linghu Tiangong heard his Ancestral Master’s ferocious laughter, and his face had already turned bitter.

With a long sigh, he slowly walked toward the rear of Jade Mist Valley.

Along the way, numerous disciples, elders, and clansmen asked him what they should do.

These disciples, who had willingly joined the Peerless Hall, only now knew the bitter taste of regret, but it was already too late for everything.

He slightly raised his head. The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor wasn’t giving them time to surrender; rather, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor had already secured a trump card long ago.

And that trump card was… him.

A moment later, Linghu Tiangong arrived at the back mountain of Jade Mist Valley.

Within this back mountain, several young figures could be seen waiting.

“Little friend Tianming.”

Before his eyes was Li Tianming, the very same person who had come to negotiate with him earlier.

Behind Li Tianming stood several other figures: a masked Li Tianqi, Xuanji of the Black Tortoise Sect, Duanmu Yushu of the Eternal Immortal Sect, the Old Tree…

These people turned their heads, pairs of eyes fixing upon Linghu Tiangong.

This Valley Master of Jade Mist Valley seemed to have aged significantly in an instant.

For over a month, the Li Clan had been seeking him out to cooperate.

Members of the Li Clan had come one after another, clearly anticipating this very day.

Outside Jade Mist Valley lay a grand array. For a Tier-3 grand array with so many variables, breaking it from the inside out was the Li Clan’s absolute best option, and the one that would minimize casualties the most.

They hid within Jade Mist Valley.

With him, the Valley Master, present, navigating Jade Mist Valley was like walking through an uninhabited land.

“The core of the grand array is in the west. The ‘Nine Dragons Jade Mist Array’ integrates both offense and defense.

Even with the many Body Integration experts outside, it would take them a long time to break through.

It is also the array formation that our Jade Mist Valley has researched and updated for generations.”

Linghu Tiangong seemed to be wrestling with heavy choices. He sighed,

“If you force your way through the array, you will suffer heavy losses. I will take you to the array’s nexus to kill the guards and break the formation.

Since the Ancestral Master is currently in a standoff and battling your Body Integration cultivators, we have ample time. I hope that you will keep your promise.”

“To preserve the lives of Jade Mist Valley’s younger generation to the greatest extent possible. The Li Clan has always kept its word.”

Li Tianming nodded, his expression completely calm.
