Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1002: A Knife

The subordinate reported and left.

Ba Siyu tried his utmost to conceal the anger in his heart, but his expression was still incredibly ugly.

Such a situation also exceeded Zhou Chengli’s expectations. He pondered for a moment.

“My Lord, if my guess is correct, Yun Hongcai was targeting you from the very beginning.”

Ba Siyu was speechless.

He didn’t need Zhou Chengli to elaborate; he had already come to his senses.

He simply hadn’t anticipated that Yun Hongcai would be so audacious!

“My Lord fell into a trap. The arrival of the Azure Cloud Li Clan members forced the Yun Clan to seek your protection.

From that moment, my Lord fell into the trap. In your eyes, the Yun Clan had no other choice; they could only survive under your protection.”

Zhou Chengli stood with his hands behind his back.

“Because of this, my Lord lowered your guard.

Yun Manlou was also one of the chess pieces. He feared the Li Clan’s revenge and wished he could hack them into a thousand pieces.

My Lord also believed this to be the case.

Furthermore, because Yun Hongcai was at the Half-step Body Integration realm, my Lord provided the Yun Clan with many conveniences, making you believe that the true target of the Yun Clan and Bi Shihu was the Azure Cloud Li Clan.”

“Stealing the logistical supplies is the true Dao path for Yun Hongcai to break through to Body Integration.

Think about it, my Lord: who is the biggest beneficiary of Yun Hongcai’s actions this time?”

The beneficiary!

Ba Siyu’s face looked as if it were shrouded by a dark cloud.

“With the logistical supplies stolen, the military morale of the soldiers in Highsun City is damaged.

The beneficiary is the Wu tribe, or perhaps… Min Tiange and the Nirvana Sage Elder, who want to obtain a Mahayana opportunity through this war.

In the war of Deston Prefecture, what those two want are the lives of living beings; only when both sides suffer heavy casualties can their opportunity take shape!”

“The likelihood of it being the Wu tribe is higher.

Perhaps Yun Hongcai is currently working for the Wu tribe, intending to wreak havoc in our army’s rear, cut off my Lord’s retreat, and attempt to welcome the Wu tribe through the pass.”

Zhou Chengli sighed deeply.

“My Lord has forgotten that, besides Min Tiange and the Nirvana Sage Elder fighting in secret, your intention to obtain an Earth Virtue breakthrough by defending the territory and expanding the borders is no secret.

If my Lord earns no merit, where would the Earth Virtue come from?

The people of the Wu tribe absolutely do not wish to see another Body Integration at Dao Integration stage expert added to our Deston Prefecture battlefield!”

Hearing this, Ba Siyu felt a chill run down his spine.

He had actually long suspected what Zhou Chengli was saying.

Now, with this deduction, his entire body ran cold. The ones targeting him could be the Wu tribe, or it could be anyone else in the world.

“Whether it is the Wu tribe, Min Tiange, the Yun Clan, or Bi Shihu, they are all enemies of the Azure Cloud Li Clan.”

Zhou Chengli continued, “My Lord, Li Xinnian spoke out of anger; you do not need to be furious. And right now, you can only rely on the Li Clan.”

Ba Siyu nodded helplessly.

This was a reality he had to face. Yun Manlou and Bi Shihu had dealt him a heavy blow.

In the end, he discovered that the Azure Cloud Li Clan, whom he had sold out, were the ones he could truly trust.

Weighing the pros and cons all these years had resulted in two massive, ungrateful wolves, making Ba Siyu so anxious that he wanted to curse their mothers.

Ba Siyu gritted his teeth. “I have already offended the Azure Cloud Li Clan too deeply, and the Li Clan members are proud and arrogant. What should I do?”

“My Lord is currently struggling with every step, and the mastermind behind the scenes remains unknown. If you turn back easily, it might also be an enemy’s scheme,” Zhou Chengli said.

“My Lord can only deal with whatever comes your way. With the logistical supplies stolen, my Lord can only bear the pain and purchase supplies from the Li Clan’s Chamber of Commerce.

The Li Clan’s Chamber of Commerce is spread all over the world; they have the capability to help my Lord stabilize military morale.”

Ba Siyu nodded without hesitation. Compared to his Earth Virtue, it didn’t matter how much wealth he spent.

“That is the first point. The Li Clan profiting from this is also a disguised form of appeasement and sincerity from my Lord; after all, the Li Clan are also merchants,” Zhou Chengli said, as steady as an old god.

“Secondly, looking at the Li Clan members’ attitude towards the Yun Clan and Bi Shihu, anyone related to Li Tianyue is their target. This includes those who might be trying to harm you secretly from behind.”

“My Lord can open the gates of convenience wide for the Li Clan, and ask the various mighty figures of Deston Prefecture to do the same. In this way, the Li Clan will go seek revenge on their own.”

A trace of joy finally flashed across Ba Siyu’s expression.

“A knife.” The corners of Ba Siyu’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Old Zhou, you and I are thinking the same thing.

Turn the Li Clan into a knife, and they will go mad trying to kill the Yun Clan members and the scheming Bi Shihu for me, stabilizing my rear.

They will act like madmen to deal with the Wu tribe and Min Tiange, who are connected to the matter in the Shadowfell Prefecture!”

“If this knife is used well, everything will surface. I really want to see who exactly is dealing with me.”
