Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 372: A Fair Fight

A few days later, Li Changsheng returned, bringing the cultivators formerly of Starfall Region. After discussions between Region Prince Mi Zhunqi and Feng Chunlin, it was decided to gradually recapture the territory of Starfall Region bit by bit in the future. For now, the cultivators of Starfall Region were stationed at the border between Starfall Region and Azure Cloud Region, keeping watch and providing mutual assistance with the Azure Cloud Region cultivators.

Also, following the return of the Starfall Region cultivators, the Wu Clan retreated again by a dozen miles...

”Hahaha, Big Brother and I completed the mission! We brought back helpers!”

Li Changyao joyfully recounted their experiences to the clansmen in the ancestral hall, causing everyone to look with some surprise at Li Changsheng, who was still deeply asleep.

Then Li Changsheng was placed in the very center of the ancestral hall. Clearly, everything was Li Changshengʼs achievement, yet the kid was still sleeping, not claiming the slightest bit of credit. But at this moment, the sleeping Li Changsheng felt something wasnʼt quite right. As soon as he opened his eyes, all the elders were staring at him, then congratulating him, ”Congratulations, Changsheng! From now on, you are the Master of our familyʼs Heavenly Principleʼs Shadow Division!”

”.....”

Li Changsheng was stunned for a long moment, somewhat unwilling to accept the reality that the family had assigned him another difficult task. Then he glanced at his own hands and feet. ”Elders, can we talk properly? itʼs just the Heavenly Principle Hall, itʼs not like Iʼm going to run away. Tying me up like this... people who donʼt know any better might think Iʼve been caught to be roasted,”

But soon, he panicked.

The elders of the Tian generation hoisted him up and dragged him off for matchmaking.

General Wang Jinhu, who came from the Imperial City, was also not idle. This fellow was dead set on adhering to the principle, ”When a general is in the field, military orders may not always be accepted.” Imperial decrees urging him to return came three times, but he simply told the Dynasty that he was seriously injured and near death, and needed to recuperate in the Azure Cloud region.

However, all the experts in the Azure Cloud region knew that General Wang Jinhuʼs health was perfectly fine; he hadnʼt left because he was guarding against the Wu Clan Elders. It was heard he possessed a particular skill: as long as a Wu Clan Elder stepped into the Azure Cloud region, he could instantly know.

All of Azure Cloud region was resting and reorganizing in full swing; the Li family, however, slowly became quiet.

On the border city walls, only the figures of Li Yunbing, Li Yunlin, Li Tianyue, and Li Kuangren could be seen, along with junior members coming for cultivation and experience. But this wasnʼt a major issue. After the arrival of the Starfall Region, Azure Cloud region already had the qualification to begin a counter-attack. The four Divinity Transformation stage experts from the great battle that night—their Spirits were still contending with each other in the sky; no one dared to make a move.

As for Apostle Lei Dong? His old friend Li Dalong wasnʼt on the battlefield. Instead, Ye Xiu of the Myriad Arts Sect from Starfall Region had emerged, who unexpectedly could fight back and forth evenly with that fellow Lei Dong.

[Special Event – A Fair Fight]

[Casualties occurred within the Wu Clan. After the battle with the Azure Cloud region Divinity Transformation cultivators, Soul Duke and Luo Xing requested aid from the Divine Bird Totem leadership, but were informed they would not receive any assistance.]

Seeing this, Li Wei could roughly guess it was still related to the deal between Fang Linglong and the Wu Clan.

Previously, the Li family needed to seek survival in the face of the Wu Clan, but now, the Wu Clan seemed to have fallen into the same predicament as the Li family.

On this day, Li Wei opened his eyes, [emerging] from Daoist Shanchenʼs cultivation place.

Under the starry night, a chieftain from the Ghost tribe came to the Li family. As soon as this fellow arrived, he knelt trembling before the utterly bewildered members of the Li family. ”Friends of the Li family, this lowly one has come under the orders of the High Priest to make a deal with your Li family.”

”A deal? What kind of deal could my Li family possibly have with you Ghost tribe?” Li Dalong said casually.

But soon, his interest was piqued. He heard the Wu Clan chieftain say, ”We are willing to give you the Heaven-Defying Grand Array. This is the formation diagram sent by our High Priest!”

Of course, it wasnʼt unconditional...

[Gift from You Baiyin: Heaven-Defying Grand Array!]

[As the time for the activation of the Heaven-Defying Grand Array draws nearer, You Baiyin can sense Li family members lying in wait nearby, ready to act. To ensure the Heaven-Defying Grand Array is completed smoothly, he is willing to gift the Heaven-Defying Grand Array diagram to the Li family, hoping the Li family will stop watching him.]

Inside the Heaven-Defying Grand Array, the Ghost tribe High Priest was reprimanding You Baiyin, ”Baiyin, how could you collude with the Li family and give the Heaven-Defying Grand Array Diagram to them?”

But You Baiyinʼs expression was calm. ”High Priest, this Heaven-Defying Grand Array requires a High Priest of our Wu Clan to establish the diagram array, needs the corpses of a million people, and also requires a spirit vein. The Li family cannot achieve any of these points. I am merely giving them face, partly to make them abandon their designs on me. People are like this; as long as they see a sliver of hope, they wonʼt do risky things. After today, I can wait for my breakthrough without any worries.”

The High Priest pondered for a moment. I suppose that makes sense. Just the requirement of having a High Priest establish the diagram array was something the Li family couldnʼt fulfill.

At this moment... Li Wei also received a message.

[Your descendants Li Tianyi and Li Tianqi report to you: They are already targeting the Heaven-Defying Grand Array. The surrounding defenses are even more thorough and cautious than before. Although they cannot obtain it, they already have a rough plan, capable of making You Baiyin fail his tribulation by paying a certain price.]

”...No wonder You Baiyin was afraid. So it was because you guys were targeting him.”

Realization dawned on Li Wei. He accepted You Baiyinʼs gift with peace of mind and suddenly laughed, ”Hahaha, surely you didnʼt think we couldnʼt build the Heaven-Defying Grand Array, did you? Great! A million corpses, a High Priest... In the future, if anyoneʼs Nascent Soul breakthrough looks dangerous, weʼll just use this trick!”

After Li Yaotie obtained this diagram, he also ran excitedly towards the place where Li Yaoqing refined medicine, overjoyed.

”Second Sister, youʼre saved! This is great! Youʼre saved!”
