Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1282: What Is The Difference Between You And The Immortals

At this moment, the cloudy sky above Jade Mist Valley was truly a gathering of mighty figures.

The old fox from the Northern Frontier Fox Tribe, having lived for an unknown number of years, proved exactly why he was an old fox.

The moment he made his move, none of those harboring ulterior motives in the vicinity could remain hidden.

Even Banshu Weide, hiding deep underground, had a glazed look in his eyes, causing his tentacles to stall in mid-air.

The immortal infant roared furiously in his arms.

Banshu Weide stared at Banshu Qingping in disbelief.

This Prefecture Lord of Grandhaven Prefecture was the most inconspicuous person in the entire prefecture.

Even within their Banshu family, Ancestor Banshu Ao had never put Banshu Qingping in his eyes.

But now, Banshu Qingping had lifted his veil.

The countless commoners who died in Grandhaven Prefecture were entirely his doing.

Within the array formed by the cultivators of the Three Prefectures, Li Tianming had already taken off his mask.

Looking at Banshu Qingping in the cloudy sky, he knew someone else had also taken off their mask.

It turned out that the Banshu Qingping he saved that day perhaps hadn’t needed his saving at all.

Under the watchdog’s natural array, the three Masters of the Martial Academy stared grimly at Banshu Qingping.

The First Master surveyed the surroundings.

Now, divine senses were locking onto their three Masters; there was nowhere left to hide.

The First Master said, “Prefecture Lord Banshu has hidden himself very well.”

Banshu Qingping raised his head slightly, frowning.

“Every generation of the Banshu family has cultivated under the Red Dust Immortal. Banshu Ao did, Banshu Weide did, and so did you.”

A trace of coldness and murderous intent flashed through the First Master’s eyes.

“Banshu Ao cultivated the ‘World’ rule. It seems you are even more of a genius than he was. If you have cultivated the Red Dust Realm and forged our decrees, everything makes perfect sense.”

“The people of Grandhaven Prefecture—you ordered them all to be killed?” From within the crowd, Li Yuanshang supported Li Zhiheng, who had recovered some Spiritual power over the past three months.

Li Zhiheng stared calmly at Banshu Qingping standing on the tentacle.

Along the journey through Grandhaven Prefecture, he had accrued a massive karmic debt; dealing with the three Masters had yielded very little karmic merit.

Now that the mastermind was right in front of him, his Heavenly Dao Divine Heart beat wildly.

“Only he could have done it.”

The First Master understood everything now.

“He cultivated the Red Dust Realm, forging our decrees to the Martial Academy to make our Six Masters wary of each other.

With his identity as Prefecture Lord, he kept Grandhaven Prefecture devoid of decision-making, and even turned a blind eye to Jade Mist Valley.

He wanted to eat everyone in Grandhaven Prefecture.”

“And this grand array of Grandhaven Prefecture…”

“That was me,” the Fox Saint said plainly.

Through the cloud layer, this old fox stared at his disciple, Xu Cuihua, on the heavenly coffin.

He then looked at Daoist Mosquito and the other subordinates of the Fox Tribe; in his eyes, these figures from the past were drifting further and further away.

He slowly placed his hand on his abdomen. Mirroring Banshu Qingping’s wave of the hand, he actually forcefully ripped the Dao Seed out of his body and crushed it.

Exhaling a long breath, he looked around at everyone present and revealed everything.

It turned out that after the old fox’s Fox Tribe was destroyed by the Northern Frontier Asura Army’s commander, he began to flee.

He encountered Min Tiange and joined the Peerless Hall.

Subsequently, he was dispatched to Grandhaven Prefecture.

This old fox was not someone content to serve under another; he had always wanted to break free from the Dao Seed’s control.

While working for the Peerless Hall, he secretly laid out plans to escape, and in the process, he grasped the geopolitical layout of Grandhaven Prefecture.

Simultaneously, he discovered that Prefecture Lord Banshu Qingping wanted to resist the Blood Moon and hid himself incredibly deep.

Thus, these two insidious individuals joined forces.

“When the Blood Moon arrives, the commoners and major factions of Grandhaven Prefecture will never be able to escape it.

Positioned on the absolute frontlines, they are dead either way.”

Atop the silver coffin, Xu Cuihua couldn’t believe it.

The master she had spent day and night with in the Northern Frontier was actually uttering such cold-blooded words. “Master, you…”

But the old fox gave absolutely no response.

He said calmly,

“Rather than letting them be swallowed by the Blood Moon and strengthening it, it is better to use them to aid Prefecture Lord Banshu’s and my cultivation.

Prefecture Lord Banshu controlled everything in Grandhaven Prefecture. His identity as Prefecture Lord was enough to keep Grandhaven Prefecture disunited for a century, preventing them from joining forces with your Three Prefectures.”

“You are insane.” Li Dalong’s expression darkened. He could feel Cuihua gripping his arm with tremendous force.

“I am not insane.” The Fox Saint stared at everyone with pity.

“You do not know how terrifying it is beneath the Blood Moon, but I do. The revival of the Blood Moon is also the revival of immortals.

You have used every trick you possess just to face a watchdog and Linghu Xian. What do you have to fight against the Blood Moon?”

“Beneath the Blood Moon, there are many of these things.”

The tentacles beneath him squirmed, and the blood on the ground floated upwards; the watchdog actually attempted to suck up this blood it had accumulated for so long.

Under the disgusted and resentful gazes of everyone in all directions, his expression turned cold as he stomped his foot on the tentacle.

His Dao method blasted through the tentacle toward the watchdog’s main body. “Behave.”

The First Master’s entire body trembled.

These floating droplets of blood—his Red Dust Realm could see them.

The souls of the thousands upon thousands of commoners they, the many Masters, had enlightened were trapped within this blood, bewildered and lost.

The fury in his chest rolled through his throat, emerging as almost a low roar: “So you decided they were useless and ate them all? You didn’t leave them a single chance?!!”

“Then what is the difference between you… and the immortals?!!”

Banshu Qingping’s brows furrowed tightly.

He recalled when Li Tianming had rescued him, at the border of Clearpeak Prefecture; he had looked down at the blood on the ground.

That day, he and Li Yuanshang had talked a lot. One step further, and there lay Clearpeak Prefecture, Westfall Prefecture, and Azure Cloud Prefecture.

He had originally intended to eat those three prefectures, but upon learning that the cultivators of the Three Prefectures were fighting against immortals, he ultimately took a step back.

“The greatest difference between us and the immortals is that we are also fighting against the immortals.”

Banshu Qingping’s voice carried far.

“First Master, having been in Grandhaven Prefecture for so many years, you should have seen clearly by now.

Our mortals are fleeing, but they can never walk out of Grandhaven Prefecture in a lifetime.

They will only experience starvation, disease, mutual strife, and suffering during their flight.

They have entered my Red Dust Realm; I can still feel their wails as they flee.”

“Have you ever thought that ending their suffering early is a mercy to them? They have committed no sins. Living in such a world means nothing but a lifetime of pain for them.

I ended their suffering early, making them a part of me, to face the Blood Moon for the future of all of Grandhaven Prefecture.”

Blood floated into the sky.

As Banshu Qingping absorbed the blood of the entire Grandhaven Prefecture’s cultivators, his Red Dust Realm expanded, his imposing aura climbed, and the watchdog’s tentacle beneath his feet collapsed!

The First Master could endure no longer.

He reached out his hand, and pages of ancient texts recording the history of Grandhaven Prefecture, containing the enlightenment of all the living beings he had taught, blanketed the heavens and the earth, blasting toward Banshu Qingping.

But with a rumble, Banshu Qingping had already vanished from the spot.

“You are no match for me; no one is. The current me is Grandhaven Prefecture itself. The entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture resides within my Red Dust Realm.”

The figures of Banshu Qingping and the Fox Saint floated into the sky, ethereal and elusive.

The Fox Saint looked down upon everyone.

“Slaughter all living beings in the lands where the Blood Moon will arrive; do not let them become the Blood Moon’s nourishment.

Only by strengthening oneself in this manner is there a way to deal with the immortals. One day, you will understand.”

“…”

The First Master wanted to pursue, but suddenly felt a Dao rhythm emerging in the cloudy sky. Above the cloud layer appeared a mirage of Grandhaven Prefecture’s former prosperity.

All of this scattered with the wind; everything enlightened under the Red Dust Immortal became fleeting bubbles and phantoms.

The First Master stood numbly in place.

The Fourth Master and Fifth Master stood behind the First Master, at a loss as they watched the two depart.

Those two were still in Grandhaven Prefecture, yet they were omnipresent, leaving no trace to follow.

…….

At this time.

The Li Clan members and the cultivators of the Three Prefectures all wore complex expressions; everything that had happened in Grandhaven Prefecture was now entirely clear.

However, even the Li Clan had never expected that the Fox Saint, who had joined the Peerless Hall, would conspire with Prefecture Lord Banshu Qingping to devour the entirety of Grandhaven Prefecture.

“Old Ancestor, should we pursue them?”

A voice transmission echoed in his ear; it was Li Dalong transmitting from the cloudy sky.

Various thoughts flashed through Li Wei’s mind. If they pursued, they could certainly catch up.

However, the old fox had already laid his cards on the table, clearly holding trump cards in reserve.

Furthermore, he could feel that Banshu Qingping already possessed the complete Dao path of the Red Dust Realm, and this Dao path was still climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And obviously, the family had truly miscalculated this time.

The fact that Banshu Qingping hadn’t taken advantage of their concentration here to attack the Three Prefectures was already fortunate enough.

The old fox and Banshu Qingping were far too extreme, yet they also intended to make a move against the Blood Moon…

As for the future, no one could say for sure.

“Phew.”

Li Wei exhaled a long breath and shook his head at Li Dalong. “The person right in front of us takes priority.”

Amidst his thoughts.

Li Wei looked forward.

Linghu Xian, who had just been struck by Banshu Qingping’s Red Dust Realm immortal method, still had lingering fear in his eyes.

He actually wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth as his figure gradually turned ethereal.

He cast a resentful glare in the direction where the Fox Saint and Banshu Qingping had departed.

“The Red Dust Immortal’s immortal method could actually find my flaw! I will find you, old fox, Banshu Qingping. When I kill you, everything of yours…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression turned to one of utter shock.

Beneath him was the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor’s Tai Chi diagram.

The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor stood a mere three meters in front of him, staring at him with cool indifference. “You want to run away too? It seems highly unlikely.”

“Hahaha, just you?!!”

Linghu Xian laughed wildly. “I am using immortal methods! My half-immortal body transcends the Great Daos!”

“Didn’t Banshu Qingping just stop you?”

“You…”

Linghu Xian’s expression suddenly turned horrified.

Li Wei waved his hand. A spatial gate instantly materialized, and silhouettes appeared on his left and right.

It was the three Masters of the Martial Academy!

And Li Zhiheng!

Li Zhiheng held the Soul-Holding Lamp in his palm.

Accompanied by the thump, thump sound of a beating heart, he used his finger as a sword to cut open his hand.

Three drops of blood fell.

These three drops of blood gradually expanded, actually manifesting the Second Master, Third Master, and Sixth Master.

“I’ll let my junior play with you for a bit.” Li Wei instantly vanished from the spot.

The six Masters exchanged glances without a word.

The Red Dust Realm activated instantly. The Red Dust Realm of the six Masters immediately enveloped Linghu Xian within it, manifesting a bustling crowd and heavy traffic.

Linghu Xian glared furiously at these six Masters. His half-immortal body actually felt a sense of fear.

Yet, a look of madness still appeared on his face. “Just you lot? Only the First Master is at the Dao-Glimpsing realm, and you think you can deal with me?!!”

Thump! Thump!

The heart beat wildly.

Li Zhiheng and the three Masters released by the Heavenly Dao Divine Heart turned their heads simultaneously.

Under the complex gazes of the other three Masters, they stared intently at Linghu Xian.

Li Zhiheng said eerily, “Even immortals have a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.

The six Masters are using the Red Dust Immortal’s immortal methods. My heart tells me that you are nothing but a mongrel.”

“The immortal seed in your body is merely the most ordinary of things. It simply allowed your Wind method to transcend the Great Daos, coupled with the fact that your Dao of Wind is inherently difficult to capture.

High-tier immortal methods can form a suppression over you, which is exactly why you couldn’t even handle a single strike from Banshu Qingping.”

“You looked down on the Martial Academy and looked down on the watchdog, but you are not even as good as the watchdog.”

Linghu Xian’s face turned deathly pale.

Everything about him had been seen through, and furthermore… Li Zhiheng’s body exuded the aura of a high-tier immortal!
