Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 1384: You Are Afraid
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
“Kill him, immediately.”
The atmosphere in the Dao Field was at a breaking point, with swords drawn and bows nocked.
Standing at the forefront of the crowd, the Junior Commander of Destiny suddenly received a voice transmission, compelling him to look up at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, who was looking down at everyone from before a spatial rift.
At this moment, the Junior Commander of Destiny remained completely silent.
He had never been this wretched in his entire life.
A mere Dao-Glimpsing realm cultivator was actually looking down on him from above, despising him, scorning him. Yet, he knew all too well whether the anger in his heart was of any use.
At least in front of the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, indignation and anger were utterly laughable.
Whether they could defeat him was one thing, but what lay nakedly before their eyes were the rules of space and time.
If the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor wanted to flee, no one present could stop him.
He abruptly raised his head and, within this Dao Field, finally spoke his first words to the mysterious Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.
“Does Your Excellency truly believe that possessing spatial rules allows you to act recklessly within the Imperial Capital and forge His Majesty’s imperial decree?”
The cultivators of the Imperial Capital all looked over. In the cloudy sky, Li Wei slightly raised his eyebrows.
The Junior Commander of Destiny spoke with a fierce and severe expression,
“You merely want your family’s descendants to destroy the Peerless Hall. If we intend to kill the descendants of your Li Clan, how could Zishu Feng possibly help them escape? Do you really think we would sit idly by as you kill Mu Xueqing and then hastily flee? Are your spatial rules truly that fast?”
“?”
Ah Hei of the Emberwing Guards abruptly tilted his head, his eyes showing a mix of bewilderment and anger.
He never expected that his tactic of loudly scheming to help someone escape would actually be copied by this bastard, the Junior Commander of Destiny.
It turned out they had always known exactly what Li Wei intended to do.
Li Wei’s expression turned bizarre. He said calmly, “The Demon Empress ordered you to kill me, but you lack the confidence to do so.”
Being a millennium-old fox himself, there was no need to hide it.
The Junior Commander of Destiny fell silent.
In the cloudy sky, Li Wei surveyed the hundreds of cultivators before him. These people might not have seen him, but he had seen many of them!
Ah Hei of the Emberwing Guards—who would have thought he was also a Body Integration realm expert.
General Wang Jinhu of the Heavenly Light Sect, who had once assisted the family, had also progressed from the Divinity Transformation realm to the Void Refinement realm over the years.
Several cultivators from the Department of Immortal Suppression had also acted alongside the family in the past.
The Daoist friends from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, who had divined heavenly secrets for the family, still looked exactly the same as before…
Looking at these former friends standing opposite him one by one, Li Wei thought he would be furious.
Yet that surge of anger simply wouldn’t rise to his heart. What he felt was mostly disappointment and pity.
“I do not understand. I don’t understand why you are protecting the Peerless Hall. And I understand even less why you would helplessly watch the Demon Empress ascend to the imperial court, sitting idly by as she associates with the immortals.”
His hoarse voice echoed within the Dao Field, even piercing through it to the outside.
“What I cannot figure out even more is why you would listen to the Demon Empress and sell your lives for her. Every single one of you knows exactly how many generations of living beings were sacrificed to break free from the enslavement of the immortals, and just how much of our predecessors’ blood stains our lands.”
“The Human Race has made it to this day, yet you have once again handed a blade to the immortals, erecting an Immortal Court beneath the Blood Moon.”
Li Wei silently wiped his long spear, not even casting a single glance at the crowd before him.
“It wasn’t until I saw you all that everything suddenly became clear to me.”
“You are all too fucking terrified. With the revival of the immortals, who knows if we can win this time? Then you are afraid of the Demon Empress in the Golden Throne Room, afraid she might purge you. Afraid of how many people have sided with her and might scheme against you. Finally, you are afraid that the benefits beneath the Blood Moon won’t fall upon your heads, leaving you a head shorter than the rest.”
“Walking this path step by step, you look neither human nor ghost.”
“I have seen a few immortals. They say humans are inherently despicable. Thinking about it now, you truly are a hell of a lot more despicable than the naturally formidable immortals, and not just by a little bit.”
Hearing this, the breathing of the cultivators on the ground grew heavy.
They glared furiously at the high-and-mighty Li Clan’s Old Ancestor who was rebuking them all, yet the words caught in their throats, unable to utter even half a sentence.
Li Wei paid them no heed. It seemed his eyes only held the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear in his hands, which had been reforged from Uncle Rain’s Spirit Treasure.
“But that’s not entirely right either. There are still people with a spine in this world.”
“Of course, I am not talking about our Azure Cloud Li Clan; at the very least, I only want to protect our own little acre of land. Grandhaven Prefecture had six Masters. Once Grandhaven Prefecture was gone, they were bound to perish with it, yet they threw away their lives at the very end just to leave behind a legacy for Grandhaven Prefecture.”
“In Clearpeak Prefecture, there was a drunkard. What he did was utterly inhumane—devouring the commoners to turn into a demon. Yet, even after becoming a demon overlord, he resolutely and unhesitatingly charged into the Blood Moon.”
“In the Xuanyuan Clan, there is a lecher and a hot-tempered bear. Their home is already gone, yet they are still waiting to fight to the bitter end.”
“An old man who hid his entire life threw down his bundle. He truly had the fucking guts to put his life on the line.”
The long spear was wiped bright and clean.
Li Wei brandished the long spear, looking down at everyone with haughty disdain.
“To be honest, I initially thought they were quite stupid. What grand righteousness of the world? What compassionate heart? How could any of that be more important than one’s own life and fortune? But I don’t know since when, I started to feel they truly had fucking spine. Standing tall and upright, telling everyone loud and clear that this world still has people like them left in it.”
