Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1275: The True Hunter

In the mountains of Jade Mist Valley.

The masked Li Tianming and Linghu Tiangong were engaged in battle.

The Void Refinement space was filled with talismans in all directions.

Opposite Li Tianming, Linghu Tiangong exhibited extraordinary strength.

Within his Void Refinement space, a mountain of uncanny, supernatural craftsmanship had actually risen, and at its peak sat an ancient and magnificent grand hall.

This was the source of Linghu Tiangong’s power.

From the magnificent grand hall, stone-formed immortal soldiers and divine beasts could be summoned in an endless, continuous stream.

The people of Grandhaven Prefecture inherited their legacy from the Red Dust Immortal; the Spiritual power of many of them was related to the mortal world.

Linghu Tiangong was no exception.

He had likely trained under the Red Dust Immortal as well, possessing a profound understanding of the rules of mountains and stones to form his own world.

At this moment, Li Tianming was not disadvantaged in the slightest during his fierce battle with Linghu Tiangong.

Unleashing talisman after talisman, he had not yet used his full strength; at the very least, Li Tianming had not drawn the dagger he wielded as an assassin.

Yet Linghu Tiangong, who controlled the grand hall at the mountain peak, was deathly pale.

He could sense everything happening in Jade Mist Valley.

In his trap within a trap, the mighty figures of the Three Prefectures who had fallen into the Jade Mist Valley snare actually held the upper hand!

“Strength is the foundation.” Li Tianming’s voice was calm.

In such a massive battle, he had long since switched to his calm personality.

Bringing the four fingers of his left hand together, he fired three talismans from between them, causing an explosive roar ahead.

It was as if invisible hands were drawing talismans out of thin air, suppressing all the incoming enemies formed of mountain stone.

His calm gaze locked onto Linghu Tiangong at the mountain peak. “Whether you believe it or not, our Li Clan has far, far too many methods to deal with Jade Mist Valley.”

“Having merely gained a slight upper hand, how dare you speak such arrogant words, little friend?!!” Linghu Tiangong rebuked angrily.

But in his heart, he believed it.

Peering outside the Void Refinement space, he had even seen the look of utter disbelief in the eyes of the Fire Ancestor trapped within the grand array.

This newly advanced Fire Ancestor… seemed to not even believe his own overwhelming strength.

“To you, they are arrogant words. But to us, they are not.”

Li Tianming smiled faintly.

“Nearly a century has passed since Uncle Rain led over a thousand people to invade our Li Clan.

Those thousand-plus invaders were all elites among elites, and they brought our Li Clan many good things. To you, a century passes in a flash, but to us…”

“It is very long.”

“Very long?” Linghu Tiangong was dumbfounded.

The Li Clan had only been established in the world for about a millennium.

They had emerged almost precisely at the start of the chaotic era.

According to intelligence, as long as the Li Clan was given even a moment to catch their breath, they would undergo a complete transformation!

Yet, very few people in the world were truly wary of this.

Even now, many factions still believed the Li Clan was merely an ancient hidden faction wearing the disguise of a thousand-year history.

Li Tianming exhaled a long breath.

For nearly a century, he had stayed entirely within the family.

He clearly knew that while the family had experienced a century of peace, it had also been a century of madness.

The clansmen had all been striving with all their might to digest the treasures gained from the battle against Uncle Rain.

Great-grandfather and Xinnian were still cultivating in seclusion in the Underworld; they hadn’t even come for this battle.

Great-granduncle had set off to re-walk his path of sword cultivation from the past, leaving for nearly a century, and no one knew where he was.

But over the past century, the Heavenly Fire and the sound of forging within the Heavenly Fire Dao Field had never ceased.

Most of the family’s materials above Tier-4 had been used to forge his Grandpa’s Unorthodox Artifact Body!

Second Grandaunt’s supply of spiritual medicine had never stopped flowing.

A century was enough to yield two of the Old Tree’s ‘Primal Blood Fruits,’ enough for two people to awaken ancient bloodlines, and enough for three people to glimpse their Dao paths.

The massive harvest of spirit stones, along with the spirit stones Yuanshang earned through external trade… was also enough to activate the Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda for many years.

And there was the Golden Chapter of Enlightenment—a complete Golden Chapter of Enlightenment.

His calm personality could sense that when the clansmen stepped out of Azure Cloud Prefecture after nearly a century, they didn’t even possess a true understanding of just how terrifyingly powerful they had become.

It was much like when his other personalities placed talismans beneath a Grand Elder’s chair, accidentally killing the person.

Or exactly like right now.

“I could kill you effortlessly, but I haven’t done so.”

Li Tianming stared at Linghu Tiangong with pity.

“Your painstakingly calculated trap hasn’t even forced the Old Ancestor, my Grandpa, or Kuanghua to use their full strength.”

“What???”

Linghu Tiangong’s mind went blank.

His unfocused eyes looked into the distance, only to see Li Wei still inside the Dao Domain, forcing his Martial Grandfather to retreat again and again.

The Fire Ancestor, wearing a ferocious sneer, forcibly tanked an array attack and smashed his hammer against the grand array; his iron hand pierced through a crack in the array, crushing a cultivator’s head into pieces with his bare grip.

And then there was Li Kuanghua… this Dao-realm Bodhisattva of the Li Clan sat upon her Buddha-Demon Lotus Platform, utterly tranquil.

But his skepticism toward Li Tianming’s words lasted for only a brief moment.

Following Li Tianming’s gaze, he clearly saw Li Tianqi, Zhuo Linlin, Gu Yinming, and other cultivators who were supposed to have fallen into his ambush and been eradicated by Jade Mist Valley.

They were actually all completely unharmed, having silently and stealthily positioned themselves right behind the Jade Mist Valley disciples maintaining the grand array!

With just a single sneak attack, they could have shattered the Jade Mist Valley’s grand array, yet they had not done so.

The people of Azure Cloud simply waited quietly.

They were like beasts toying with their prey!

No.

Linghu Tiangong’s body stiffened.

Hunters often do not play with their prey; hunters usually… use their prey to lure out even bigger prey!

He abruptly looked back at Li Tianming’s mask, his pupils dilating continuously.

“The Immortal Infant of the Banshu family, the Red Dust Immortal of the Martial Academy!”

“You only pretended to be locked in a desperate struggle with us. Your true goal is to lure them out!”

Li Tianming slowly turned his head.

Peering through space, he gazed at Linghu Xian—who was being forced back by the Old Ancestor and was gradually exuding an oppressive presence as Jade Mist Valley fell into a disadvantage.

His voice was faint and eerie.

“Changyao was right about one thing: the simplest way to understand immortals is to catch one.”

“Our goal in coming to Grandhaven Prefecture was, from the very beginning, to eat you all.”

“Many times, the prey is the true hunter.”
