Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1194: Chapter 1188: attending a banquet

Just as they reached the detection range, Ah Hei, who had been lying on his side, suddenly jumped up and gasped.

“This shouldn’t be. I’ve truly seen a ghost!”

Since boarding the spirit boat, Ah Hei had never shown such a horrified expression.

This sudden exclamation caused a trace of profound sorrow to flash through the hearts of everyone on the boat.

Scenes of their past cooperation with the Li Clan flashed through their minds like a revolving lantern.

Although they usually secretly mocked the people of the Li Clan as dirty, despicable, and rustic villagers, right now, they only remembered the Li Clan’s good points.

When all was said and done, if the Li Clan was in trouble, they truly dared to step up.

The Li Clan had made their fortune through the merchant path, yet they hadn’t forgotten these friends.

Although Li Chang became an official in the Imperial Capital and was rumored to be the Empress’s paramour, he had also helped them gain a foothold in the Imperial Dynasty…

“How did it come to this?” A trace of unbearable sorrow flashed through Duanmu Qi’s eyes, a feeling of the fox mourning the death of the hare spontaneously arising.

“Half of the Li Clan’s bloodline remains outside.”

Wang Jinhu let out a long breath.

“Over the years, the Li Clan has made quite a few enemies in the world. These Li Clan descendants will definitely face a reckoning.”

“My Sword Pavilion can establish a village outside Sword Mountain to shelter them.” Sword Venerable Drizzle thought of Li Yaozu.

“The Zhangsun Clan could offer marriage alliances, but it’s a pity that once the Wu Tribe arrives, we won’t even be able to look after ourselves.”

Zhangsun Buhuo said sorrowfully, “Sect Master Duanmu should also plan a way out.”

“The outcome is not yet decided, how can my Immortal Sect make a claim?” Duanmu Qi looked pale.

“Fellow Daoist Zhangsun, please flee together with my Immortal Sect, along with the Xuanyuan Clan, so we can look out for each other.”

“What are you all doing?”

Three black lines appeared on Ah Hei’s forehead. “The Li Clan is fine.”

“The matters of before and after death, the continuation of the bloodline is so…”

Duanmu Qi was originally wearing a profound and solemn expression, but upon hearing the latter words, he suddenly froze.

“What did you say?”

Ah Hei had already waved his hand.

As he unleashed his divine ability, spiritual light flickered in his eyes.

A white mist appeared ahead, projecting the scene viewed by his divine sense.

Looking at the Azure Cloud Prefecture after these ten days, it was not slaughtered by Uncle Rain’s divine ability as they had expected.

The cloudy sky was gloomy, densely covered with black clouds, with lightning constantly flashing.

It was the mutual resistance of fire and rain that filled Azure Cloud Prefecture with a thick mist of dust, making it difficult to see.

The canopy of the 1000-foot red tree was vibrantly colored, standing tall above the clouds.

The cloudy sky was bizarre.

Gathering all the people in Azure Cloud Prefecture capable of flying into the clouds using techniques—none of whom were below the Golden Core realm—they flew in dense formations and arranged array formations in the sky, sealing it almost airtight.

Beneath the 1000-foot red tree, root vines pierced into human bodies, making them look like walking corpses being manipulated in the cloudy sky.

They continuously transmitted Spiritual power, connecting with the Li Clan’s grand array to form a giant cocoon ahead.

The karmic luck of heaven and earth of Azure Cloud Prefecture converged, and a Divine Dragon soared around, contending with an unknown existence inside the giant cocoon.

Where was there any scene of defeat?

This was exactly the moment when the power of the entire Azure Cloud Prefecture was gathered, slaughtering the enemy with one heart and mind.

Everyone was entirely dumbfounded.

Traveling from so far away, they had calculated everything regarding the Li Clan’s funerals and legacies, and had even planned how to feign compliance if they encountered Uncle Rain upon arriving in Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Now they saw no sign of Perfected Qiuyue; the thousands of invaders had disappeared without a trace, and only Uncle Rain’s aura remained?

“Hiss~”

Duanmu Qi trembled all over.

Catching a glimpse in the white mist of the Li Clan members stripping the tendons and ripping the bones of a hundred-meter-long heavenly horse and distributing the parts to their fellow Daoists, he said numbly,

“Was this an invasion by over a thousand cultivators, or did the Li Clan slaughter their way into the territory of those thousand cultivators?”

Pairs of dumbfounded eyes met each other.

Suddenly, within Ah Hei’s spying method, an old face appeared, and the scene of Azure Cloud Prefecture could no longer be seen.

Before Duanmu Qi could react, he was startled by the suddenly appearing person, and hurriedly bowed in greeting, “Steward Huang.”

After making this bow, he felt something was wrong. As the master of a sect, why would he bow to a mere steward?

Thinking carefully, there was something else wrong. How could a mere steward break Ah Hei’s spying method?

He immediately righted his state of mind and asked about the situation in Azure Cloud Prefecture.

Steward Huang spoke vaguely,

“Thank you all for coming to assist; our Azure Cloud Li Clan is endlessly grateful.

This foreign invasion was entirely composed of insignificant scoundrels, mere chickens, and pottery dogs.

We are to blame for not informing you all in advance, causing you to worry.

A banquet has already been prepared at home, and we invite you all to attend so we may fulfill our duties as hosts.”

Soon after, the white mist dissipated.

Ah Hei frowned.

“The Li Clan exhausted the heaven and earth karmic luck of Azure Cloud Prefecture and broke my Dao.

The one trapped in the tree cocoon is Uncle Rain. There’s a secret in there that they won’t let others pry into.”

“Trapped… trapped Uncle Rain?”

Qi Wunian opened his mouth wide.

The Li Clan… trapped Uncle Rain? Were these words even spoken in the human language?

“They want to kill him.”

Ah Hei wiped his face. “And it looks like… they are going to succeed.”

Sword Venerable Drizzle frowned deeply, voicing a soul-searching question.

“Are we here to provide reinforcements, or to attend a banquet…”

“Let’s just consider it as attending a banquet.”
