Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1370: Chapter 1364: The Imperial Family

“I have come to take away the three corpses.”

Seeing herself instantly surrounded by the Azure Cloud Li Clan, Zishu Feng couldn’t help but be surprised by their vigilance.

She simply confessed, “Zishu Lingtian must absolutely not fall into the hands of the immortals. You have utilized his soul for many years; that is already enough.

Of course, master’s command is hard to disobey. I will stay and help you deal with the Wu Tribe.”

At this time, Li Wei had already appeared on the scene.

He was already aware of the anomaly concerning the three corpses within the family’s spirit pool.

For years, the family had harbored many speculations regarding the relationship between the three corpses and the Blood Demon Lord.

Now, Zishu Feng’s words confirmed their guesses about him.

As expected, Zishu Feng also recounted many events of the past.

Back then, the Third Prince, Zishu Qingtian, was immortal and imperishable. Yet few in the world knew that this power was entirely brought about by an ‘Undying Immortal’.

As the Human Emperor led the Human Race to expand their territory, Zishu Qingtian’s illustrious reputation soared, his prestige even surpassing that of the Human Emperor.

When the Imperial Dynasty was newly established, without external enemies, internal chaos began to brew.

Behind the scenes, there were even immortals secretly stirring up trouble, attempting to push Zishu Qingtian into rebellion.

But if Zishu Qingtian became the Human Emperor, would this Imperial Dynasty belong to the immortals, or to the Human Race?

To end all of this, Zishu Qingtian actually took matters into his own hands, slaughtering the descendants of his own lineage.

Covered in blood, Zishu Qingtian personally knelt before the Human Emperor and handed his own vital weakness over with his own hands.

That day was also the darkest day in the Imperial Dynasty. Countless died or were injured within the dynasty, and to this day, very few know the truth.

Zishu Qingtian’s grandson, Zishu Lingtian, was the only survivor.

Even the Human Emperor was greatly shocked upon hearing the news.

Zishu Lingtian was born under the protection of the ‘Eternal Rule’.

This power, originally belonging to the immortals, allowed Zishu Lingtian to survive, and it also drove him to launch a millennia-long retaliation against the Imperial Dynasty.

“But… his three corpses called you Aunt, and you are the Human Emperor’s daughter, while Zishu Lingtian is the Human Emperor’s great-grandson…”

Li Yaoqing was completely relaxed, her round eyes brimming with curiosity.

“In that era, everyone who survived had their own unique abilities.”

Zishu Feng’s expression turned ugly for a moment.

“And my master is Ancestor Lan. He must have taught you some hard-to-accept cultivation methods.

Zishu Lingtian has addressed me in many ways. He called me Great-Aunt, and he also called me Aunt. When I was his aunt, that was the time I accompanied him the longest.

I even acted as his niece, and I witnessed everything back then.”

The Li Clan members strongly agreed with this point. Practically everyone had a copy of those bizarre techniques.

Li Jianning often said that the fact he hadn’t died from Ancestor Lan’s cultivation methods was entirely due to the Old Ancestor’s protection and the benevolence of the Heavens.

Seeing the Li Clan members fall into thought, Zishu Feng said in a deep voice,

“Zishu Lingtian is different from many of us in the Imperial Family. He harbors resentment toward the Imperial Dynasty, and he is full of resentment toward our Imperial Family as well.

No matter how we explain it, he will always blame my royal father for the massacre of Third Brother’s lineage.”

“I cannot sit idly by and watch him fall into the hands of the immortals, be bewitched by them, and lead them to destroy my royal father’s life’s work on this land that is about to be ruled by the immortals.”

“Land about to be ruled by the immortals?” The hot-tempered Li Yaotie glared with wide eyes.

The expressions of the family members turned somewhat ugly.

Zishu Feng also noticed the Li Clan members’ expressions. Without concealing her inner thoughts, she said bluntly,

“My master told me to lend the Southern Frontier a helping hand. He also lured away the Great Golden Immortals of the Southern Frontier.

He left a sliver of hope for the Southern Frontier, but that is all. I believe the time he bought was meant for you to face reality and flee.”

“Over a hundred thousand years ago, our Imperial Dynasty’s grand army achieved victory for the Human Race similarly with the help of the immortals.

From ancient times to the present, although the immortals fell from grace and sank into oblivion, they have never truly disappeared, influencing the mortal realm for countless years.”

“The people of the world have gradually forgotten the immortals. Today, after who knows how many years, they have never acted with such fanfare.

You simply do not realize what you are facing. Perhaps the people of the entire Imperial Dynasty, just like you, have not realized it.”

Zishu Feng lowered her eyes. “The Imperial Dynasty is beset by internal strife and external threats. The various races of the world all harbor selfish motives. We… cannot win.”

The family members remained silent for a long time.

Li Yaotie’s fiery temper surprisingly calmed down.

He said faintly, “At least for now, we are still here, and Azure Cloud Prefecture is still Azure Cloud Prefecture.”

Zishu Feng furrowed her brows tightly, looking around.

She had spoken so clearly, yet the gazes of these Li Clan members remained resolute.

She didn’t understand why the Li Clan members were so stubborn, insisting on striking a stone with an egg.

These people didn’t seem to realize in the slightest that in the entire world, only their Southern Frontier was resisting the Blood Moon.

She knew that no matter how much she tried to persuade them, it would be useless. She let out a sigh. “Now, can I go take the three corpses away?”

“Chang’an?” Li Yaotie looked at Li Chang’an. When it came to judging people, no one in the family could compare to him.

“She didn’t lie. The three corpses also reacted because of her, calling out ‘Aunt’.”

Li Chang’an said, “In the current situation, we cannot afford any unforeseen changes concerning the three corpses.”

Not long after.

Relieved, Zishu Feng placed the trembling three corpses into her spatial ring.

Before leaving, she spoke solemnly to the observing Li Clan members, “Your preparations to deal with the Blood Moon are far more adequate than I imagined. You have immortals within your family, and you do not need my guidance.”

She cast a glance at Li Yaoqing and Li Xinjue, furrowing her brows.

“After I secure the three corpses, I will return to assist you. I traversed the Blood Moon from the Northern Frontier all the way to Azure Cloud Prefecture.

What is certain is that as my Master makes his move, the immortals within the Blood Moon are also making theirs.

Without my Master’s presence in the Southern Frontier, I’m afraid some immortals have already infiltrated it.”

“I still advise everyone: there is nothing more important than your lives.”

However, after she finished speaking, the Li Clan members before her remained completely silent.

These incredibly stubborn Li Clan members were like the willow trees growing in Azure Cloud Prefecture.

When the wind and rain arrived, they still rooted themselves fiercely in this land.

It seemed they were left with only two outcomes: one was to endure the ferocity of the wind and rain, and the other was to wait to be uprooted entirely.

Neither of these two was a good ending.

Zishu Feng simply stopped trying to persuade them.

Just as she was about to leave, an item was tossed over.

Zishu Feng caught it; it was a Bodhisattva statue. Astonished, she looked down at the Li family’s Little Yellow Bean.

She only heard a loud shout, “Senior, remember to come back and help! Keep in touch!”

“…”

Zishu Feng hurriedly headed toward the Western Frontier to take away Zishu Lingtian’s soul, but suddenly she froze.

The three corpses inside her spatial ring, getting closer and closer to where the soul was located, actually began to put up a fierce resistance along with the soul, conveying a strong conviction of being utterly unwilling to leave this forsaken place.

Zishu Feng’s Spiritual power instantly plunged into the spatial ring. Shaking with anger, she yelled,

“You decrepit old corpse, what kind of madness has possessed you, acting exactly like that entire Li family?!”

……

With Zishu Feng’s departure, Li Wei was also watching the family’s descendants.

Ancestor Lan had told the Li clansmen to flee, and Zishu Feng had also told them to flee, yet everyone in the Li Clan remained completely unmoved.

Li Wei observed them closely.

He wanted to catch a glimpse of hesitation in the children’s eyes, to see even a sliver of cowardice, which would at least give him a reason to order the family’s descendants to leave via the spirit boats at the edge of the South Sea.

But in the end, the clansmen looked at each other and shared a knowing smile.

It carried a touch of self-mockery, and a touch of gratification.

“Zishu Feng said that the immortals have already begun to make their move.”

Li Yaotie broke into a wide grin. “Earth God, come out!”

What talk of leaving or not leaving was there?

As Li Zhiheng, whose seniority was somewhat awkward, revealed himself, Li Yaotie’s words also made the clansmen’s attitude clear.

“Find out exactly which blind fool dared to sneak into our Azure Cloud Prefecture.”

“Yes.” Li Zhiheng gave a slight nod, clearly having accepted this ‘Earth God’ nickname.

“Zishu Feng said that killing the immortals will delay the Blood Moon.”

Li Yaotie said calmly, “Prepare yourselves. At the very least, we must let the people of the Southern Frontier know that on the land we share, there is an Azure Cloud Li Clan fighting with everything they have to protect our home.”

“Yes!!!”

The clansmen bowed in response and dispersed in all directions.

…

Yellow sand rose in Clearpeak Prefecture.

The Blood Moon reflected upon the swirling dust, revealing massive silhouettes looming within the sandstorm.

The sound of air being torn apart echoed in the sky; it was a fleet of neatly arranged spirit boats, numbering no fewer than a thousand, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Aboard the spirit boats were countless immortal kin. They moved in tandem with the rumbling advance of those faintly visible, massive silhouettes within the dust storm.

They exuded a formidable, imposing aura, resembling a world-destroying torrent within a vast ocean.

In all directions were the array formations of the cultivators upon the spirit boats.

Formed by gathered heaven and earth spiritual qi, these colorful arrays emanated a bewitchingly sacred glow beneath the Blood Moon.

Behind this already terrifyingly majestic vanguard, they guarded a colossal palace.

Spirit City.

This towering and resplendent city, presided over by the Spirit Lord, rose from the ground.

Even beneath the Blood Moon, it retained its peerless, independent majesty.

Constructed entirely of white jade, it seemed like an ancient giant patrolling the mortal realm upon the clouds.

Within the city, the immortals and half-immortals under the Spirit Lord’s command all had their eyes shining brightly.

They had finally waited until the day the human Dao Ancestor’s successor willingly threw himself into their trap.

To them, the Southern Frontier without Ancestor Lan standing guard was like a turtle without its shell.

They couldn’t wait to devour the people and resources there, absorbing that prosperous land into the territory of the Immortal Court.

They aimed to bring new order and civilization to this wicked land, where humans ruled with utter disregard for immortals, allowing the humans living in suffering to receive the grace of the immortals!

“Exalted Immortal!”

A beautifully bearded immortal, holding a pagoda in one hand and clad in armor, looking extraordinarily valiant, requested orders from the Spirit Lord.

He stroked his black beard that cascaded down to his waist. Wherever his phoenix-like eyes looked, it seemed everything would be peered into by him.

His voice, deep and steady, carried an innate arrogance.

“Our Immortal Court’s immortal soldiers have marched to the border. This humble immortal is willing to head to the Southern Frontier and put them to the test!”

“Hundred-Slaughter Star Lord, if you enter the Southern Frontier, the Azure Cloud Li Clan will undoubtedly find out.”

Min Tiange said to the beautifully bearded immortal,

“The Old Ancestor of the Li Clan possesses spatial rules.

This humble one has fought a battle with this person; if your whereabouts are revealed, you will surely face relentless entanglement.

The Li Clan controls the heaven and earth karmic luck of Azure Cloud Prefecture, and the Red Dust Immortal is now being utilized by the Li Clan, similarly keeping a watchful eye over the red dust of the Southern Frontier.

They cannot be ignored. If things prove impossible…”

But ultimately, Min Tiange was merely a half-immortal.

Even though the Hundred-Slaughter Star Lord knew Min Tiange was not to be underestimated, He still cast a sidelong glance at him and let out a cold, arrogant snort, abruptly cutting off Min Tiange’s warning.

“Granted.”

As the Spirit Lord seated upon the throne waved his hand lazily, the Hundred-Slaughter Star Lord turned around gracefully.

Accompanied by various immortals from among their ranks, He stepped outside Spirit City and dissipated into streaks of light.
