Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 278: True Face

Li Yaowen gave a final glance at Shou Qing, whose eyes were filled with resentment. ”In your next life,” she said, ”never resort to schemes and treachery. You have no idea how dangerous it can be or the burden it places on you. Because if things go wrong, youʼll only end up destroying everything you hold dear.”

”...”

Dragged along the ground, in her final moments of vision, Shou Qing saw the tribe where she had lived her entire life, now like a pile of burned-out firewood.

”Crackle, crackle...”

Everything was burning, just like her life.

She remembered the Beast-Loving Tribeʼs spirit beasts and the children happily playing here, filled with laughter and joy.

Li Yaowen was right.

Unknowingly, she had started a fire here.

”Great Priest... Li Yaowen has fallen for the trap.”

”The leader of Dawn is nothing special...”

”Greed and overconfidence will only lead them to their doom...”

”When the Li family trusts us completely, we can use them to eliminate all our enemies, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop...”

”Hahaha...”

The conversation with the Great Priest surfaced bit by bit in her mind.

Despair gradually crept into Shou Qingʼs eyes.

”So, it was us who were greedy and overconfident all along.”

Carrying the most venomous curses of her entire tribe, she descended into hell to repent.

...

[Congratulations! Your descendants have destroyed the Beast-Loving Tribe!]

[Obtained Spoils of War: One corpse of a giant python on the verge of transforming into a Flood Dragon! The familyʼs guardian beast is currently devouring its corpse. It has swallowed the pythonʼs Golden Core and undergone a wondrous transformation!]

[Obtained Spoils of War: The priestʼs corpse.]

[Obtained Spoils of War...]

[Your descendant, Li Yaowen, gained some enlightenment in this massacre and obtained the trait: Tribe Destroyer.]

[After years of plotting the destruction of tribes, she has eradicated one force and race after another. Under her leadership, everyoneʼs combat power increases by 5% during tribe-destroying operations. Each time a tribe is destroyed, her comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth deepens.]

[Your family guardian, the ”Bloodthirsty Demon Lord,” is devouring vast quantities of Wu Clan blood. His body seems to have awakened some kind of inheritance and is currently unlocking Wu Clan sorcery...]

”A great harvest!”

Li Wei was so overjoyed that he slammed his hand on the table. This time, the original plan was just to destroy the Beast-Loving Tribe to create an opportunity for Li Tianyi, but he never expected such a bountiful reward!

The Thunder Flame Fury Python devoured a demon king on the verge of transforming into a Flood Dragon, accelerating its own transformation.

As for the ”Tribe Destroyer” trait... thinking about it carefully, Li Yaowen had indeed destroyed quite a few races and factions.

The strangest one in the entire family was also Li Yaowen.

On this personʼs information panel, she was still a mortal, yet she could borrow the power of heaven and earth, making her comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator to a certain extent.

And then there was the Bloodthirsty Demon Lord... This guy had developed a new consciousness and had been continuously taught by the Li family. Now, he was gradually influencing the Li family, becoming their most loyal guardian. However, his awakened inheritance still puzzled Li Wei.

”Awakened a Wu Clan inheritance? Is that why he unlocked Wu Clan sorcery?”

Li Wei murmured, ”Could it be that this guy has some connection to the Wu Clan?”

However, without any clues, Li Wei couldnʼt figure it out and decided not to dwell on it.

Soon, The Li family group safely escaped from the blazing inferno of the Beast-Loving Tribe. They soared into the air and headed towards the location where Li Tianyi and the masked man were fighting.

”What?! Tianyi, youʼre a ruthless one! Nascent Soul cultivation, yet you kept it hidden from your old man all this time? How could you do this to me?!” Li Yundou exclaimed, watching Li Tianyi within the formation barrier, stomping his feet in anger. ”How am I supposed to discipline this kid in the future?”

The other members of the Seven Ironclad were also like this, gritting their teeth, seemingly annoyed that they wouldnʼt be able to beat their juniors in the future.

They didnʼt realize that Li Tianming and Li Tianqi had already surpassed them in strength. At this moment, these two, still covered in wounds, were glaring fiercely at Li Tianyi, just like their elders, as if they had also just discovered his true power.

”...”

Li Tianyi was speechless for a moment. Then, wiping the sweat from his forehead, he forced a smile and looked at his elders. ”Borrowed,” he said, ”itʼs all borrowed. Iʼm only just at the Golden Core stage... ahem, busy now.”

He quickly turned his attention to the masked man at the edge of the barrier, his voice booming like a great bell. ”Take off your mask!”

As soon as he said that.

Everyone looked at the masked man. The purpose of their trip, besides obtaining the Rootless Soul Soil, was also to capture him alive!

”Take off your mask!”

The words echoed in his ears, and the masked man felt like he had lost everything. He knew there was no escape. Li Tianyi alone had forced him to use all his trump cards, and the Li family still had more experts!

He let out a bitter laugh. ”I want to know how you found my trail. It seems like youʼve calculated everything. Who, who is behind this?”

”It seems you killed someone you shouldnʼt have.”

Li Tianyi silently took out a token. It was... a token of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion! As long as a member of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was within a hundred miles, the token would react!

Looking at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion token, which was covered in inscriptions and suppressed its power, the masked man felt all his strength drain from his body.

He remembered that day on the tower when he had shattered Yu Xianʼs soul, and that ungrateful old fox was still smiling at him.

At that moment, he understood everything.

”Sigh.”

The masked man let out a long breath and slowly removed his mask, a bitter smile remaining on his face.

But as he revealed his true face...

The eyes of the Li family members widened in shock.
