Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 1368: The Final Time
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
“Kill an immortal?”
Li Chang’an’s face darkened slightly. He hadn’t expected Zishu Feng to detect Zhiheng’s existence.
He said, “Senior, we have killed an immortal, but the Blood Moon was not delayed in the slightest.”
Zishu Feng looked at him with a peculiar expression.
“Oh? Then you are truly capable. Did you kill a Heavenly Immortal or a Great Golden Immortal? How many kin did they possess? How much land did they control beneath the Blood Moon?”
She cast a glance at Xuanyuan Liqun in passing. “And you, coexisting with an immortal will bring you to no good end.”
This series of questions left everyone speechless. They didn’t know if this Zishu Feng had cultivated in seclusion for too long, but she didn’t leave them a shred of face.
Xuanyuan Liqun furrowed his brows but said nothing.
However, a trace of joy appeared on Li Chang’an’s face. If it was truly as Zishu Feng said, then fighting and winning was not entirely impossible.
“The Blood Moon has descended for so long, and you actually want to meet it head-on. That is far too foolish.”
Zishu Feng rolled her eyes at the crowd, then adopted the demeanor of a host, addressing Li Chang’an:
“Little boy with a bit of a sect master’s bearing, since you are not from my Immortal Sect, you should be from the Li Clan.
When Master sent his message, he told me to take a look at the Li Clan and take good care of his final disciple.”
Li Chang’an fell into deep thought.
To the side, Duanmu Qi and Xuanyuan Liqun hastily pushed Li Chang’an forward, wishing they could quickly distance themselves from this wild entity.
Filled with doubt, Li Chang’an led Zishu Feng away.
Discussions echoed from inside the room.
“Sect Master Duanmu, is she truly Ancestor Lan’s disciple?”
“She should be. I heard Ancestor Lan had a few disciples outside, which could serve as a form of assistance.
Ordinary people wouldn’t seek out trouble for themselves. Hmm? Xu Xian sent a message; it seems she is.”
“Why doesn’t our young friend Xu Xian show himself?”
“He says that among the disciples outside like him, he is the only normal person.”
…
“Senior.”
Li Chang’an was polite and refined toward Zishu Feng. “Since you are Ancestor Lan’s disciple, do you know…”
He pointed to the sky. Several months had passed since the departure for the ends of the earth, yet not a single bit of news had arrived.
Zishu Feng shrugged her shoulders, saying carelessly,
“It’s useless to ask me. Master’s abilities aren’t considered that powerful, though he occupies more than half of the Great Daos. If he wanted to continue fleeing, no one could kill him.
A few months ago, when he shouted out, it meant he was going to fight with his life on the line.
He charged at those Great Emperors and Great Golden Immortals on his own. Sometimes people choose a path, and that path is a path to certain death.”
“The people of the world have long wanted the old man’s life. If he stopped hiding, there is naturally a reason for it. I think he wanted to leave a sliver of survival for all of you.”
She lowered her head, gazing at the fleeing commoners beneath the cloudy sky, her gaze icy cold.
“There is a kind of person in this world who sometimes treats irrelevant people as very important, valuing inheritance, honor, and bloodline higher than the heavens and their own lives.
In the end, this mindset is passed down from generation to generation, clinging to them like a stubborn plaster, impossible to tear off.”
“I reckon Master can hold out for a few years, and he might even take down one or two Great Emperors with him. This is the final time Master has bought for you.”
Li Chang’an remained silent.
How many people in the world could truly understand what Zishu Feng said? Even he couldn’t figure it out—why guard Azure Cloud Prefecture to the death?
But to ask him to flee, he was absolutely unwilling. At the very least, his sacrificed father’s blood stained Azure Cloud Prefecture, and many of his ancestors whom he had never met stood their ground here.
Because of this, his soul burned fiercely for Azure Cloud Prefecture his entire life; it seemed that if he were to leave this place, he would wither away.
Perhaps this was just what it meant to be human.
His heart felt heavy. He saw Zishu Feng suddenly pause, thinking this senior had some doubts, but Zishu Feng abruptly asked, “By the way, what is your name?”
“This humble one is Li Chang’an.”
“Oh! I know you! Wenren Xianyi, that demon empress’s lover!”
“…”
The fist beneath Li Chang’an’s sleeve hardened, and three dark lines formed on his forehead.
The rumors in the Imperial Capital were truly terrifying; even a wild senior from the Immortal Sect knew of them.
…….
At this time, in the Imperial Capital.
With Ancestor Lan declaring war upon the world, Wenren Xianyi moved right next to the Human Emperor’s bedchamber.
The Empress, who was usually out on inspection tours year-round, now did not step a single foot outside her doors.
She stayed inside her room for several months, surrounded outside by layer upon layer of Imperial Capital experts acting as guards.
The commoners of the Imperial Capital looked up at the Heavenly Palace.
In thousands or tens of thousands of years, they had never seen the Heavenly Palace so brilliantly radiant, shining like the brightest star in the night sky.
That was the Heavenly Palace’s grand array.
The high officials of the Heavenly Palace claimed they were testing the grand array to celebrate the Imperial Dynasty’s achievements in expanding its territory, prompting the commoners to cheer with joy.
Only a few cultivators knew that the Empress had also been terrified by that shout, deeply afraid that Ancestor Lan would settle the score with her.
When it came to harming people’s lives, she was full of meticulous schemes, but when Ancestor Lan truly went mad, she hid faster than anyone else.
