Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1103: Chapter 1097: Did You Harbor A Grudge

Inside the Northguard City.

The descendants of the demon-suppressing branch were looking with odd expressions at the more than three hundred figures inside the Grotto-Heaven.

These clansmen from Silvermoon City—famous within the family, rumored to have been expelled by the demon-suppressing branch to form their own lineage, and who spent all day digging in mines underground—were all dressed simply and plainly.

The demon-suppressing branch was close to the battlefield. Fighting against the Demon Race year-round, they were mostly rugged and unrefined people.

However, the clansmen of the Silvermoon branch appeared even more barbaric and unconventional.

Right now, the people of the Silvermoon branch had walked out of the mountains and wilds of Silvermoon City and were strolling around the demon-suppressing branch like country folk seeing a grand estate for the first time.

As the demon-suppressing branch brought out delicious delicacies made from demonic beasts, they wolfed them down like starving ghosts.

“Xinjue, you are a Patriarch at the very least. What exactly have you done to your children and grandchildren? Look at them; it’s simply as if they’ve eaten far too much bitterness.”

Li Xinri pointed at the Silvermoon descendants gathered outside the room, who looked like starving wolves, his expression ugly.

This group of descendants not only ate a lot, but also secretly stuffed food into their spatial rings.

Their stealthy mannerisms were extremely practiced, like pickpockets. Li Xinri even wondered if the Silvermoon branch was secretly moonlighting in some illicit business.

“After so many years, Eldest Brother hasn’t changed at all.”

Li Xinjue didn’t mind, shaking his head with a smile.

“It’s true, actually. They spend all year underground, so they are like this. But don’t worry, they’ll be fine once they put on their Nightveil Robes.”

“…”

Li Wei was temporarily speechless, recalling the times he paid attention to the Silvermoon branch.

He remembered how these descendants looked when they donned their Nightveil Robes and moved by night to carry out assassinations in the outside world.

It was true: when not killing, the Silvermoon branch members were country bumpkins, but when it came to killing, these descendants truly held nothing back.

In the hall, Li Xinri didn’t ask further.

Li Xinjue asked about the Qiu Clan incident.

Upon learning that the Ancestor had appeared, Li Xinjue hastily stood up, pressed his palms together toward the sky outside the hall, and bowed.

“May the Ancestor bless and protect us.”

To the side, Li Zhijing rolled her eyes. These two half-brothers hadn’t seen each other in two hundred years, yet how could they share the exact same virtue?

After sitting down, Li Xinjue said deeply,

“Before I came, I already inquired about intelligence regarding the Qiu Clan.

The Qiu Clan is not simple. They have a massive number of clansmen, provide shelter to a region, and can also obtain a great deal of assistance.

Furthermore, the Qiu Clan’s situation is complex. There are the two brothers of the ‘Xun’ generation, along with Qiu Naihe and another Void Refinement Ancestor.”

“Qiu Xundao is at the Half-Step Body Integration realm. He has already attempted to break through before, but found his Dao occupied by others.

The Dao he attempted to break through to that time was ‘Drifting Snow’, which caused snowflakes to fall over a region continuously for a hundred years, forming a snow mountain.”

“Qiu Xunfa is the one who attacked Zhijing…”

Hearing this person’s name, Li Zhijing’s molars ached.

“That piece of trash! He attacked me and even launched a sneak attack!

If it weren’t for the Ancestor giving me a Void Refinement Spirit Tablet to save my life, as well as Great-great-grandfather’s Ghost Rune and Great-great-great-grandfather’s Hidden Edge Sword, I would have died.

He uses shadows, which is also the strongest law he cultivates.”

Seeing his daughter enraged, Li Xinri comforted her before saying, “Why mention them? The Ancestor has already appeared. I’m afraid the Qiu Clan won’t even have time to react.”

Li Xinjue didn’t answer immediately, but continued,

“As for Qiu Naihe, he is at the peak of the Void Refinement realm and has a lifespan of forty thousand years. He is the eldest in the Qiu Clan.

This person lacks sufficient comprehension aptitude. He only reveals his Spiritual power and does not fight with others, so his true depths are unknown.”

“The other is Qiu Chuhui. This person has a lifespan of over ten thousand years and reached Void Refinement at the age of seven thousand.

She is currently at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, cultivating the Dao of Flowers, and she serves as the public face for the Qiu Clan.

This is only because Qiu Naihe said that when a woman handles matters for the family, ordinary cultivators cannot bear to attack her, making it convenient to operate, and her killings are even more formless.”

After finishing with these people, Li Xinjue also detailed the Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul realm experts one by one.

Among them, two Divinity Transformation realm experts could not be underestimated: Qiu Anran and Qiu Aori.

“Where did you get so much intelligence?”

Li Xinri was quite shocked, wondering how this expelled younger cousin of his could be so incredibly resourceful as to know the intelligence of the Qiu Clan’s experts like the back of his hand.

“I have some connections within a few factions that cannot see the light of day.”

Li Xinjue mentioned casually, then his voice turned cold.

“Eldest Brother, don’t be fooled by the Qiu Clan temporarily submitting. The human heart is changeable. You might rarely see someone smiling at you one moment and killing you the next.”

“You’re underestimating me!” Li Xinri’s face instantly flushed red.

“Is it my fault I haven’t seen much of the world? Blame my daughter for not striving to be better!”

“…” Li Zhijing, who was originally twirling her hair, suddenly yanked out quite a few strands.

“I am not mocking Eldest Brother.” Li Xinjue smiled bitterly.

“Qiu Naihe is afraid, but compared to the Ancestor, he is even more afraid of Qiu Xundao.

And Qiu Xundao treats his younger brother, Qiu Xunfa, extremely well; he absolutely will not hand over Qiu Xunfa.

Qiu Naihe has no affinity with the Dao realm. All the hopes of the entire Qiu Clan rest on Qiu Xundao, not to mention that Qiu Xundao holds an important position in the Asura Army.”

“Eldest Brother, if you are not cautious, and the elders find out, I’m afraid you and I are going to get a beating.”

At this time.

Li Xinri couldn’t help but look solemn because of Li Xinjue’s words.

Seeing his older brother taking this so seriously, Li Xinjue also breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face suddenly darkened.

He heard his older brother say, “Are you blaming me for not stopping Father from sending you out of the Northguard City back then?”

“…” Li Xinjue’s face was completely speechless.

Suddenly, Li Xinri stood up abruptly, the word “beating” continuously echoing in his heart.

Under Li Xinjue’s stunned gaze, Li Xinri grabbed Li Xinjue by the collar with a face full of anger.

“Tell me! All those years, did you harbor a grudge and secretly play tricks, making the cultivators from the Azure Cloud Prefecture come and beat me up one by one?!!”

“???”

Li Xinjue hastily grabbed Li Xinri’s hand. “Eldest Brother, what are you doing? Why are you acting so tense?”

Behind Li Xinri, Li Zhijing suddenly stood up straight, her lips pursed, her eyes darting around continuously.
