Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1046: The Opportunity

“Auras of the Body Integration realm… three of them!”

On this day, the experts of the dynasty and the Wu tribe fighting in Shadowfell Prefecture all changed their expressions.

Having reached their realm, their divine sense could perceive a vast range.

Moreover, the Body Integration realm auras intruding into Shadowfell Prefecture were completely unhidden, as glaring as high beams in the dark of night.

On the dynasty’s side, Ba Siyu paused in surprise.

“Zhao Guang of the Department of Immortal Suppression, and Perfected Qinghe of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion… Did His Majesty send people to help? That shouldn’t be the case.”

Gu Fenghua, who had just fought a massive battle with a Body Integration expert of the Wu tribe and reclaimed the territory of two regions in Shadowfell Prefecture, had the exact same reaction.

But soon, his brows furrowed.

“No. If His Majesty sent people to assist, they would conceal their Spiritual power to catch the Wu tribe off guard at a critical moment.

The fact that they aren’t hiding their auras is to tell us and the Wu tribe cultivators that they have their own business to attend to.”

“The Dusheng Nunnery… the Azure Cloud Li Clan…”

Gu Fenghua’s facial muscles twitched. “How did they blow things up to such a massive scale?”

As an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years, the arrival of these experts brought him not the slightest hint of joy.

There were too many implications involved in this. The three Body Integration experts who had arrived this time were from different factions; whether they were truly here to save Fei Heng was still entirely uncertain.

In addition, after more than fifty years, the battlefield at the borders of Shadowfell Prefecture had already become the territory where the cultivators of their Imperial Protectors Guard sought opportunities for a breakthrough.

With the arrival of these people, who knew what schemes they might be harboring.

Then there was the Wu tribe.

Even if the three Body Integration experts didn’t conceal their auras, having sensed the addition of three Body Integration experts to the battlefield, how could the members of the Wu tribe possibly not make preparations?

At least for Gu Fenghua, the Li Clan’s inviting people to deal with the Dusheng Nunnery was not a good thing.

“So the hints I gave Li Yunlin last time were a complete waste of effort?”

Gu Fenghua gnashed his teeth.

A thought actually surfaced in his heart: had he known this earlier, he might as well have just helped the Li Clan deal with the Dusheng Nunnery himself, rather than letting the situation develop to this uncontrollable point today.

…….

In the forest, there was a cave. Firelight could be seen at the entrance, connecting to the magma realm of the Earth vein.

The Radiant Sun Sage Elder was wearing a robe made of the skin of some unknown demonic beast.

His appearance was handsome, and he wore a golden crown that resembled a blazing high sun.

He was currently sitting cross-legged within the magma, steam rising around him.

The moment the three human Body Integration experts arrived, the eyes of the Radiant Sun Sage Elder flared as if with fireworks.

The divine bird totem behind him ignited with flames, and a phoenix cried out from within the totem.

“Three human Body Integration experts have arrived. I request everyone from the Moon Dragon Totem to come and assist.”

The phoenix soared on the totem and instantly vanished.

The corners of the Radiant Sun Sage Elder’s mouth curved up slightly.

In truth, there were internal conflicts among the various totems of the Wu tribe as well.

Especially back then in the Azure Cloud Prefecture, when a crazy woman emerged from who knows where and injured many of their almighty experts, the internal strife grew even worse.

They had only just managed to recover their vitality. Even as they invaded the human race, the major totems still guarded against one another.

Now that human reinforcements had arrived, it was actually the perfect time for them to shift their internal conflicts.

“This time, the human race’s attack was sudden and caught me off guard, resulting in heavy losses. It’s time for the Moon Dragon Totem to charge ahead of us.”

Far away from where the Radiant Sun Sage Elder was recuperating.

The Nirvana Sage Elder, who had been the first to break through the borders of Shadowfell Prefecture that year, had seldom entered the battlefield to battle the human Body Integration experts over these past years.

At this moment, as he sensed the arrival of the humans, the information he learned was also far more extensive.

A hint of joy flashed across the Nirvana Sage Elder’s aged face. “The Dusheng Nunnery has been found. Crown Prince Fei Heng is inside.”

Over the years, it wasn’t just the humans looking for Crown Prince Fei Heng; he was as well.

The reason he dared to break convention and be the first to come to Shadowfell Prefecture to scout the path for the Wu tribe back then was simply because he had seen through Min Tiange’s trickery.

He discovered that this man, Min Tiange, had planted Dao seeds in his tribesmen in an attempt to expand the war.

At the same time, he also discovered that Min Tiange was playing a massive game of chess—a game meant to break through to the Mahayana realm.

And Fei Heng, the Crown Prince who had been arranged to flee the moment the battle of Shadowfell Prefecture began and had spent hundreds of years in Shadowfell Prefecture, was equally no pushover!

He was a piece in the game!

“The Radiant Sun Sage Elder has already asked the people of the Moon Dragon Totem to come.

Since that is the case, I can safely go and seize the opportunity. An opportunity meant for a human prodigy might just as well become mine.”

As soon as his voice fell, the Nirvana Sage Elder transformed into a wisp of flame and vanished from the spot.

In the cloudy sky floated a white lotus.

This was the manifestation of the Dusheng Nunnery’s Grotto-Heaven, blended into the clouds.

Even if demonic beasts flew past in the sky, they would not perceive the white lotus’s presence in the slightest, perhaps even phasing right through it.

At this moment, however, several people were floating in the clouds around the white lotus.

The members of the Li Clan!

Li Yunlin still maintained his appearance of a Daoist holding a fly whisk.

The fly whisk in his hand was once a concealed long spear, but at his current realm, this thing was simply used for decoration.

However, the Skyveil Hall still revolved in his right hand. The Skyveil Hall, which once had missing edges and corners, now had a bizarre shape, resembling an incredibly complex Rubik’s Cube.

As it absorbed more and more spiritual items, it had gained many more edges and corners.

The Skyveil Hall’s artifact spirit, the old cat, lay on Li Yunlin’s shoulder and let out a yawn.

Li Yunbing carried three swords at his waist: two human-slaughtering swords on his left, and a Wu-slaughtering sword on his right.

This Conspirator of the clan stood with his hands behind his back. His hair was mottled, looking extremely similar to how his father, Li Yaozu, looked in his middle age.

The only difference was his sinister eyes, which bore not the slightest disguise.

Behind him were three juniors. Li Tianqi, wearing tortoise-shell armor, looked more like a warrior than an Array Formation profound master.

Li Changyao looked at her quiver in distress; of the nine arrows Li Yaotie had forged for her, only five remained.

Fortunately, the “Ten-Direction Delusion-Breaking Bow” and the “Heavenly Domain Dharma Eye” belonging to Guan Mingxuan had their restrictions broken by Li Yaotie, making up for the deficit.

Li Xinnian, the youngest junior present, was looking at the heavy hammer left behind by Bi Shihu inside his spatial ring.

The hammer was as heavy as a majestic mountain, but Li Xinnian was born with “innate divine strength,” and coupled with his ancient blood spirit Dharma Body, he wasn’t afraid of being unable to swing Bi Shihu’s hammer.

As for Li Changsheng? The fact that he dared to come to Deston Prefecture meant he was already bold enough.

“This is the Dusheng Nunnery?”

Li Yunbing narrowed his eyes. Decades had passed. They had been searching for the Dusheng Nunnery all along, and they had finally found it.

There was also Yun Hongcai, the Nirvana Sage Elder, and Min Tiange.

They hadn’t found them yet, but it didn’t matter. He would keep searching until he found them, just like how they had found the Dusheng Nunnery today.

Li Yunlin didn’t know what his younger brother was thinking and merely nodded slightly.

“This Grotto-Heaven is a treasure—a Buddhist lotus. It contains a great deal of Buddhist Dharma aura. The Buddhist Dao is not simple, but we don’t need to worry about it.”

They didn’t need to worry.

Because they were not the main characters today.

Feeling a powerful aura approaching from afar, they saw the spirit ship of the Department of Immortal Suppression arriving.

The Azure Cloud Li Clan also held authority within the Department of Immortal Suppression.

Back then, there were people from all the major factions in the Department, but they couldn’t be considered the Department’s regular army.

Now, the moment the Department of Immortal Suppression’s spirit ship arrived, the aura of an expert rushed at their faces.

Standing at the bow of the spirit ship, facing the wind, was Zhao Guang.

This almighty expert of the Department of Immortal Suppression, whose lifespan should have been exhausted but had somehow held on for thousands of years, looked incredibly awe-inspiring.

Gone was the servility he showed before Wu Neng; he cast an arrogant glance at the lotus platform of the Dusheng Nunnery.

When Zhao Guang saw the five members of the Li Clan and sensed that they carried the same bloodline aura as that pretty boy back in the Imperial Capital, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“As expected, the Azure Cloud Li Clan is truly not simple.”

Back at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems, he had witnessed the sinister nature of the Li Clan members.

Rumors outside said the Li Clan had already declined, but he knew better.

Their Department of Immortal Suppression had searched the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems for years and found nothing, yet the Li Clan had rooted them out.

The Li Clan even had someone who controlled spatial laws snatch the Three Corpses of Ling Tian right in front of his face.

Look at this—how was this a decline?

Including these five, the Li Clan had at least eight Void Refinement experts!

“Li Chang’an went against the Commander’s wishes. The Commander sent me to Shadowfell Prefecture to show the people of the Li Clan some color, and ideally, to completely finish the Li Clan off.”

Zhao Guang muttered to himself, and a hint of gloom flashed across his face as he flew from the spirit ship toward the members of the Azure Cloud Li Clan.

Killing these five Void Refinement cultivators would be nothing more than a casual effort for him!

He immediately floated in front of the Li family members.

“I am Zhao Guang. Your Li Clan is quite capable; you’ve angered the Commander immensely.

In a moment, when Perfected Qinghe of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and Wenren Jiuyue of the Wenren Immortal Clan arrive, leave the Dusheng Nunnery to us. You all just be careful.”

“Yes.”

Li Yunbing hastily nodded, respectful on the surface. But his mind was sharp, and he instantly caught the hidden meaning in Zhao Guang’s words.

He immediately replied, “Thank you for your care, Lord Zhao. I have long heard the rumors about you, my lord, but they must surely be nonsense.

In my humble opinion, Lord Zhao’s fortune is bound to your lifespan. Even if our Li Clan declines, my lord’s lifespan will not necessarily be exhausted.”

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Guang laughed in satisfaction. “Good, good, good. I like hearing that.”

The Li family members exchanged glances and smiled.

This Zhao Guang cared for nothing except the heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and medicinal pills that could sustain his lifespan and Spiritual power.

In the entire Imperial Capital, perhaps Zhao Guang was the only person who cared the most about the survival of the Azure Cloud Li Clan.

The group then conversed, and the members of the Li Clan greeted Zhao Guang one by one.

“The Commander’s intention is for me to protect the Crown Prince.” After getting acquainted with the Li family members, Zhao Guang said in a deep voice,

“As for Daoist Qinghe, ever since the Empress took the regency, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has aligned itself with her. Who knows what crooked ideas they might be plotting.”

The Li family members looked at each other with bizarre expressions.

They were extremely familiar with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

Back in the Azure Cloud Commandery, they had engaged in minor contests with the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and over the years, they had learned quite a bit about them.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was practically the dynasty’s treacherous turncoat, secretly doing nothing but things that harmed the dynasty.

Supporting Crown Prince Sheng was one thing, but after Fei Heng took the position, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion showed utter defiance in every way.

When Min Youguo was locked up, they laughed the hardest, and they secretly stayed very close to Fourth Prince.

Looking at it now, it seemed they also wanted to kill Fei Heng while they were at it.

“The Wenren Immortal Clan is the clan backing the Empress.”

Hearing this, the Li family members showed no reaction.

The general trends of the dynasty shifted rapidly.

Although they had been in Deston Prefecture for many years, they had also heard it mentioned in the clan’s intelligence that everyone knew about the Empress wanting to control the court, and even wanting to become the female Emperor.

But regardless of how they brought disaster to the world, the members of the Li family simply looked at the Grotto-Heaven of the Dusheng Nunnery.

In the clouds, the Wenren Clan and the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion arrived one after another.

A cold shout rang out, though it was unknown where the person was.

They only yelled, “Demoness Dairou, you dare to hold the Crown Prince hostage and attempt to become a Buddha? Come out and face your death!”

The Li family members took a deep breath.

Right now, the most important thing was to surround and annihilate the Demoness Dairou!
