Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1311: Chapter 1305: The Latest Intelligence

Soon, the siblings arrived beneath the old tree.

Seeing her aunt meditating, Li Changyao was about to step forward, but Li Changsheng made a gesture for her to be quiet.

Time slowly passed, and Li Changsheng continuously flicked his fingers lightly against the armrest of the wheelchair.

Since the battle at Grandhaven Prefecture a few years ago, the elders had all been cultivating.

Some had become immortals, some had become demons, and the elders were all dealing with their own troublesome affairs.

Consequently, with a single command from the family elders, the true overarching control of the family had been handed over to him, even though nominally, the younger kids Qiu Ming and Chuxiu were managing the family businesses.

In truth, there wasn’t much of a family business left to manage right now.

The Blood Moon was approaching, and everyone was preparing for war.

Many in the world had already begun devouring mortals.

Currently, on the roads from Grandhaven Prefecture to Clearpeak Prefecture and all the way to Azure Cloud Prefecture, an unknown number of refugees were fleeing.

But how massive was a single prefecture?

Forget about escaping a prefecture—just not starving, dying of exhaustion, or succumbing to disease on the road was already a massive stroke of luck.

Li Changsheng didn’t dare interfere with these matters. Every time he witnessed the suffering of the mortal realm, the Human Emperor’s Eye on his body would start acting up.

All he could do was properly manage Azure Cloud Prefecture, forging array formations and setting up layer upon layer of traps.

The Blood Moon had severed the connection between the Southern Frontier and the Imperial Dynasty.

Even the Dark Crows couldn’t fly through the Blood Moon.

Sea routes were still an option, but only Golden Core cultivators could travel by sea, taking a massive detour just to gather intelligence.

By the time such intelligence returned, it was already outdated.

Under such circumstances, Li Changsheng could only rely on his aunt’s connection with her Buddhist Dao followers to obtain the latest intelligence and establish contact with the outside world.

Suddenly, Buddhist light emanated from beneath the old tree.

Li Changsheng saw his aunt, Li Kuanghua, turn around.

Having cultivated Buddhist Dharma, his aunt—who already looked younger than him—now bore an increasingly compassionate and merciful countenance.

“The situation is bad.”

Li Kuanghua exhaled a long breath.

“It’s as if the outside world is completely unaware of the immortals emerging.

There are no rumors of immortals appearing anywhere in the world, and the Imperial Dynasty doesn’t even know what has happened in the Western Frontier and Southern Frontier.

The people from the Skyveil Hall and the major factions who transmitted our messages throughout the world… they are all dead.”

“The borders leading into the Central Plains are heavily guarded by the Imperial Protector’s Guard. The borders were evacuated long ago.

The public only knows that the Imperial Dynasty achieved a sweeping victory in the Western Frontier, annihilating three totems of the Wu Tribe.”

“The Imperial Preceptor and the Grand Tutor of the Northern Frontier are in a standoff.

The Imperial Preceptor suppressed the Northern Frontier army and ordered them to exterminate demons.

By eradicating demons across a massive region, he accumulated boundless merit.”

“Our people went to the Sword Pavilion and the Heavenly Monarch Dao Sanctuary.

Both factions have encountered trouble. Or rather, while the nation celebrates, the reclusive factions are all facing their own crises.

Either they knew of the immortals’ existence long ago, or they began allying with immortals the moment they initiated their restoration.”

“However, as for the Cultivation Alliance Nations…”

Li Kuanghua’s expression turned strange.

Li Changsheng was taken aback.

The two other human nations isolated within the Endless Forest also possessed civilizations similar to the Imperial Dynasty.

They were also part of the Human Race, but unfortunately, due to the passage of long ages and the barrier of the Endless Forest, they had lost contact with the Imperial Dynasty.

Only Void Refinement realm cultivators dared to attempt contact with the Imperial Dynasty without a safe route.

There was only one Human Emperor in the world, so they were naturally weaker than the Imperial Dynasty, and rumor had it their Emperor Realm experts were hidden as recluses among the populace.

Although they were weaker than the Imperial Dynasty in overall strength, lacking the protection of the Imperial Dynasty’s karmic luck, they were incredibly fierce as a whole.

The two nations were either fighting each other or on their way to a fight.

Their populations were constantly being depleted, new generations were born, and then they continued fighting, neither yielding to the other.

Back when Yaoqing and Kuangren were fleeing with the ‘caged bird’ to the Auric Empire, they had benefited from the two nations beating the life out of each other, allowing them to accumulate quite a bit of capital.

Even the Wu Tribe and Demon Race didn’t dare provoke these two nations.

The two nations might fight among themselves, but if outsiders dared to intervene, they would unapologetically declare a temporary truce and band together to fight off the threat.

This extreme, yet strangely restrained, madness was exactly how they had managed to survive until now.

But now that the immortals had appeared, the two nations had actually stopped fighting.

Li Kuanghua said in confusion,

“Now that immortals have emerged, and the Wu Tribe and Demon Race are too busy saving themselves, these two nations have no external enemies.

They should have continued fighting to the death, yet they have ceased hostilities.

There hasn’t been any news of immortals appearing within their borders either. However, one day, ink-black light surged into the sky, and three chimes of a bell echoed in the night.

On that day, many people saw the sky bathed in blood-red light beneath the moon.”

“How high up in the sky must it have been beneath the moon? Yet the massive battle was noticed even by mortals. Clearly, a behemoth had died.

That night, an eerie rain of blood fell. When it touched the ground, all things grew vibrantly.

Some commoners accidentally ingested it and exploded to death, but if applied externally rather than swallowed, it could strengthen the body and extend one’s lifespan.

Cultivators called it a supreme treasure and fought madly over it.”

Li Changsheng and Li Changyao exchanged a glance.

They said in unison, “An immortal!”

“That’s what I thought as well. Immortals must have appeared within their borders too, and they are silently slaughtering them,” Li Kuanghua nodded slightly.

With a grave expression, Li Changsheng waved his hand, and a map materialized in the air.

“The Blood Moon has severed the connection between our Southern Frontier and the Central Plains, and it has also encroached into the Endless Forest, but the route from Azure Cloud Prefecture to the two nations still exists.”

Pointing at the map, Li Changsheng said,

“We took the sea route to reach the Imperial Dynasty, but clearly the Imperial Dynasty is under Wenren Xianyi’s control.

Over these years, our attempts to seek help from the Imperial Dynasty have failed, but we must continue trying.”

“Next, I will send people to Duskwild Prefecture to contact Fourth Prince Yu.”

“The Divine Bird Totem and Moon Dragon Totem have been cut off by the Blood Moon; we will take the Nirvana Sage Elder’s token to contact them.”

“As for those two great nations, I want to give it a try.”

Li Changsheng looked at Changyao and grinned.

“Changyao, do you remember the days when the Wu Tribe attacked, and you carried me on your back everywhere to seek help?”

Li Changyao furrowed her delicate brows tightly. “You can fly on your own now; there is no way I’m carrying you.”
