Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1098: Chapter 1092: To Reason With Them

Within two days, Li Zhijing had already woken up.

It wasn’t the time for any ancestor worship ceremonies, and he definitely didn’t have any healing medicinal pills on hand, so he simply used a skill to restore Li Zhijing’s injuries.

The campfire crackled.

The black mist on the person sitting nearby was even more ethereal than the flames on the campfire.

Li Zhijing was startled awake, only to realize what was happening a moment later.

“Your child Zhijing greets the Ancestor! Your child is useless, forcing the Ancestor to descend personally.”

“Rise.”

Li Wei smiled faintly. Li Zhijing was notoriously unruly in the Northguard City, yet she was incredibly respectful when facing her elders.

She then explained the situation.

It turned out that Li Zhijing cultivated Beast Taming methods. When that dragon appeared, Li Zhijing used her Beast Taming methods to track it.

This pursuit of the dragon lasted for half a year, and she had also requested reinforcements from the family.

But who would have expected that the dragon was a completely naive, wet-behind-the-ears fool.

Upon arriving in the Northern Frontier, not only did it not hide but it also swaggered through the streets, attracting many covetous eyes.

Qiu Xunfa of the Qiu Immortal Clan was one of them.

This person, at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, led three Divinity Transformation cultivators and a group of Qiu Clan experts.

Li Zhijing’s Beast Taming method was practically the natural enemy of demonic beasts, and dragons were no exception.

She had chased the dragon for half a year without being discovered by it, yet her tracks were found by Qiu Xunfa.

A dragon was a walking treasure trove from head to tail.

As soon as Li Zhijing stated her background, Qiu Xunfa, in order to prevent the news from leaking, launched a lethal strike to silence her.

Fortunately, Li Zhijing had the ‘Hidden Edge Sword’ and Li Wei’s Ancestral Spirit Tablet on her, so she was only severely injured.

Qiu Xunfa continued pursuing the dragon, while over a dozen cultivators hunted her down.

“Where is the Qiu Clan?” Li Wei asked.

“Ancestor…” Li Zhijing was momentarily stunned.

“Let’s go. We’re going to make the Qiu Clan hand him over.”

Li Wei placed a hand on Li Zhijing’s shoulder. In an instant, the two were already stepping through the void.

Before Li Zhijing could react, a dizzying wave of spinning sensation overtook her.

Under the Ancestor’s Daoist technique, she actually appeared within the void.

Looking down, all things in the world had become minuscule.

The Ancestor merely took one step forward, and they were already thousands of miles away.

Li Zhijing never expected the Ancestor to act with such swift and decisive thunder.

She felt as warm as the sun in her heart, but was also extremely anxious.

“Ancestor, the Qiu Clan is powerful in the Northern Frontier. They have Void Refinement experts in their family and cannot be easily provoked.

Your child feels it is better to discuss this carefully. Your child will go complain to the Grand Tutor, the Grand Tutor…”

“Void Refinement?”

Li Wei scratched his head.

“Then we absolutely have to go. Our old Li family is no longer what it used to be. Even this fellow surnamed Qiu has to speak to us politely.

Rest assured, your Ancestor is taking you there to reason with them.”

“This…”

Li Zhijing hesitated for a moment. But with the Ancestor insisting repeatedly, she gritted her teeth. She wasn’t one to shy away from trouble either.

Seeing the worry on Li Zhijing’s face, Li Wei laughed heartily.

Truth be told, if it were in the past, in a place like the Northern Frontier and facing a major immortal clan, they truly would have had to formulate a strategy before making a move.

But now?

Li Wei took a deep breath. Good thing he was a reasonable person.

Three days later.

Li Wei floated in the cloudy sky.

Below was a mountain, and within the mountain was a city.

Streams of people could be seen moving about; it was clearly the secluded cultivation ground of an immortal clan.

Just like any ordinary immortal clan, upon sensing Li Wei’s majestic Half-Step Body Integration aura, they greeted this uninvited guest with a grand defensive array.

“Hand over Qiu Xunfa.”

….

A majestic voice resonated above the Qiu Clan’s immortal mountain.

Every single person within the Immortal Mountain looked up in horror.

It was unknown from whence this supreme expert had arrived, but in an instant, dark clouds drifted in from afar, and before long, the sky was completely overcast—an apocalyptic scene.

As the expert called for Qiu Xunfa…

Boundless Spiritual power caused the wind and clouds to surge.

In all directions around the Qiu Clan’s immortal mountain, spatial rifts resembling spider webs appeared out of thin air, seemingly ready to devour everything.

Outside the grand array of the Qiu Clan’s immortal mountain, there was only a black mist figure stepping on a Yin-Yang fish diagram, and a little girl in leather clothes, both glaring resentfully at the immortal mountain.

“Ancestor Xunfa? Where did this supreme expert come from, and why is he looking for our Ancestor Xunfa?”

“Look at his aggressive momentum, he’s here for revenge! This… what kind of Spiritual power is this!”

“What a sin, truly a sin. Just who exactly did Ancestor Xunfa provoke out there?”

“…”

The Spiritual power of Half-Step Body Integration made the air within the Qiu Clan’s Immortal Mountain feel thick and viscous.

With just a single thought from that black mist figure, those spatial rifts could destroy everything outside the immortal mountain!

Amidst the uproar, the experts of the Qiu Clan hastily floated into the air. Feeling the spatial power outside the immortal mountain, they were even more horrified.

Spatial laws were hard to find in this world, and no one was willing to provoke such an expert.

A Qiu Clan Ancestor at the peak of the Divinity Transformation realm said in terror,

“Is it… Void Refinement? A Void Refinement expert mastering spatial laws… this is going to be a disaster!”

“No, Half-Step Body Integration.”

The stronger one was, the more they could feel the aura of the black mist figure outside the mountain, an aura as vast as the mountains and seas.

An elder of the Qiu Clan, who was tens of thousands of years old, was already trembling all over.

He was certain that even if he had reached the peak of the Void Refinement realm, as long as he dared to take a single step outside the grand array, those spatial rifts would tear him to shreds!

Moreover, under such law techniques, he had nowhere to run!

At this moment, he could no longer care about who the other party was.

Suppressing the trembling of his body and soul, he slowly flew to the edge of the grand array, maintaining his calm, yet unconsciously performing a scholar’s bow to the arrivals from the Li Clan.

“I am Qiu Naihe of the Qiu Clan, greetings to this Daoist friend.

May I ask why my Daoist friend has arrived with such a grand display and called the name of my Qiu Clan’s elder? Did he do something to offend my Daoist friend?”

“You tell him.”

Li Wei glanced at Li Zhijing.

Hearing this, Li Zhijing stared blankly ahead. Despite her reckless and unruly behavior in Northguard City, once outside, not many people gave her face.

Especially the Qiu Clan; those surnamed Qiu were notoriously domineering in the Northern Frontier, and their elders were extremely protective of their own. But today…

This was Li Zhijing’s first time seeing the Qiu Clan acting so subservient. The person in front of them was the legendary Ancestor of the Qiu Clan, Qiu Naihe!

However, with her own Ancestor right beside her, and remembering how she had been suddenly attacked and nearly killed while being hunted down, Li Zhijing hardened her scalp, gritted her teeth, and cursed,

“Your Qiu Xunfa tried to silence me and kill me while I was tracking a dragon demon! Tell him to come out!”

“What?!!”

Qiu Naihe knew about Qiu Xunfa tracking the dragon, but he never expected Qiu Xunfa to have stirred up such a massive disaster.

Behind him, a Qiu Clan elder who seemed to have a good relationship with Qiu Xunfa said deeply,

“Impossible. Ancestor Xunfa has always been cautious. Before killing someone, he would definitely ask for their background.

If he knew the other party had such a supreme expert behind them, he absolutely wouldn’t have done it.”

“No… for the sake of a dragon, it is completely normal for Qiu Xunfa to kill to silence witnesses. Why make excuses for him? This Senior is reasonable.

Ancestor, it’s better to send a message to have Qiu Xunfa return, to avoid provoking such an old monster at the Half-Step Body Integration realm who is proficient in spatial laws.”

Another person was deathly pale, partly scared by the black mist figure outside, and partly angry.

“Ancestor, your child has seen that little girl in the Northguard City! It’s the unruly girl of the Li Clan, Li Zhijing!”

Someone called out, adding a few traces of complex emotion to the panic of the Qiu Clan members.

“The Li Clan? The Azure Cloud Li Clan? How could they possibly have such an old monster?”

“Brother, you cultivate in seclusion year-round, so your information is outdated. In Shadowfell Prefecture, the Li Clan’s name has already spread across the world. If it’s the Li Clan… sigh.”

“Please, Ancestor, recall Qiu Xunfa!”

Cold sweat dripped from the top of Qiu Naihe’s head.

The Azure Cloud Li Clan… He knew the Azure Cloud Li Clan better than anyone.

The events of Shadowfell Prefecture in the Western Frontier had already spread back one by one.

To avenge Li Tianyue, the Li Clan had lingered in the Western Frontier for fifty years—silent and unmoving in stillness, yet when they finally struck, they moved like a hidden immortal clan emerging from the shadows.

Now, everyone in the world said not to provoke the Li Clan. They were like a pack of wolves—wolves that hold grudges.

Even the people of the Wenren Immortal Clan had warned their descendants to be a bit more amiable when facing the people of the Li Clan outside.

Just half a month ago, Qiu Naihe had instructed his clansmen to absolutely not act recklessly when facing the Azure Cloud Li Clan’s demon-suppressing branch in the Northern Frontier.

Yet, as luck would have it, Qiu Xunfa committed such a disastrous blunder while pursuing the dragon.

“Daoist friend…” Qiu Naihe’s lips and teeth were pale.

In his eyes, the Li Clan Ancestor was already like a giant from antiquity; he could only pant for breath under the other party’s aura.

“I know absolutely nothing about the matter of Qiu Xunfa. My Qiu Clan knows absolutely nothing!

It was entirely that beast’s own selfish desires, it has nothing to do with my Qiu Clan!”

He could no longer care about his identity as an Ancestor; only sorrow remained.

There was also a rumor that the enemies of the Li Clan were invariably exterminated by the roots, their killings even more ruthless than those of demonic cultivators.

He feared his Qiu Clan… was doomed.

“…”

In the cloudy sky, Li Wei frowned as he looked at the Qiu Clan.

A sorrowful wind blew, and the sound of wailing and crying rang out. He felt like a natural disaster.

“Ancestor, they…” Li Zhijing stared in astonishment at the usually insufferably arrogant Qiu Clan, now looking so miserable.

“How are they acting like I’m the one who harmed their clansman?”

“Who am I supposed to ask?”

Li Wei’s eyelids twitched. He almost forgot he was here to hold them accountable.

Acting like this made it seem as if he was using his power to bully people, about to annihilate the Qiu Clan for no reason. However, Li Wei still frowned.

Having experienced too much, his divine soul probed the area to prevent any conspiracies from the Qiu Clan, but ultimately, he found absolutely nothing.

Thinking about it carefully, not everyone was like the Zhao Clan, Bi Shihu, and the Yun Clan.

“Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Send Qiu Xunfa to us. As for other matters, the children of my clan will naturally discuss them with you.”

Li Wei took a deep breath. This was the Grand Tutor’s territory, after all.

“This…”

Qiu Naihe showed a difficult expression, but seeing the formidable Li Clan Ancestor, he could only grit his teeth and say,

“This old man will carefully obey my Daoist friend’s command. However, Qiu Xunfa is tracking a dragon, and this old man cannot locate him. Qiu Xundao…”

“Hmm?” Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

“Qiu Xundao is the Second Commander of the Asura Army and Qiu Xunfa’s elder brother. This old man truly does not know what is best to do.”

Qiu Naihe lowered his head. Seeing that Li Wei hadn’t attacked, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s not my concern. You should also be glad I saved the descendant of my family.”

A cold glint shone in Li Wei’s eyes.

“I have come seeking justice. In the world, every cause has an effect, and the effect must be concluded.

Qiu Xunfa was nurtured by your Qiu Clan. If he is not delivered to us, I am not afraid of forming further karma with your Qiu Clan.”

“This…” Qiu Naihe’s expression changed again, but when he raised his head, the Li Clan Ancestor had already vanished without a trace.

At this time, Li Wei had already taken Li Zhijing back to the Northguard City.

Li Zhijing stared blankly at the Ancestor, still unable to figure out why everyone in the Qiu Clan treated their Li Clan Ancestor like a god.

But as soon as they arrived in the city, Li Zhijing’s little face twitched.

So did Li Wei’s.

On the city walls of the Northguard City, numerous cultivators were beating gongs and drums, drawing the attention of the commoners throughout the entire city.

Li Xinri, that playboy, gripped the city wall with both hands, his face full of ferocity.

“Go, call everyone in the city! Call all my father’s old subordinates!”

“Send messages! Go to the Imperial Capital! Go to the Azure Cloud Prefecture!”

“My daughter… my poor, ill-fated daughter!”
