Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 814: Zhao-Slaying Saber

Inside the Void Refining Space.

Zhao Tingyu was held fast by the power of the formation, his limbs pinned in a spread-eagle position as he hung suspended in the air.

A web-like formation stretched out behind him; his body was riddled with injuries, and every stitch of his clothing had been forcibly removed.

Grand Elder Puci watched in stunned silence as the three members of the Li family systematically stripped their captive of his possessions with professional ease.

Their mastery of treasure-seizing had reached a state of absolute perfection—they even managed to extract the treasures Zhao Tingyu had secreted away within his very Divine Soul.

[Congratulations. You have acquired loot.]

[Mid-grade Dharma Treasure: Spirit-Guarding Storage Ring.Functions as a mental and spiritual anchor, providing immunity against all Divine Soul or mind-altering techniques below the Void Refining realm.Equipped with a protective barrier capable of blocking a maximum-intensity strike from a Peak Early Void Refining cultivator. (Contains a massive hoard of natural treasures.)]

[Supreme-grade Dharma Treasure: Venerable-Reaping Voidcleaver Saber.This blade can transform into a streak of rainbow light to execute foes.Forged by Zhao Tingyu through sixty thousand years of refinement within the "Destruction Void" dimension.Inherits the "Destruction" trait; it possesses the power to sever souls and split the void.A single strike can tear through space for travel—unless blocked by a formation.Contains the Void Refining technique: "Voidrain Saber Technique."]

[Mid-grade Dharma Treasure: Sky-Earth Voidstride Boots.When utilized within a Domain or Void Refining Space, these boots bridge the two, granting a 30% boost to spiritual power.Contains the Essence Soul technique: "Treading Earth Like Roaming the Sky," enabling the wearer to traverse the earth as effortlessly as soaring through the heavens.]

[12 Fragments of various Dharma Treasures]

"Yaozu, you take the Spirit-Guarding Storage Ring.Wipe away Zhao Tingyu’s Divine Soul Imprint so you don't fall prey to charm arts again.Bear in mind that you must not become overly reliant on external treasures; you must focus more on tempering your mind and soul in the future before eventually passing this down to the next generation."

Li Wei casually tossed the Dharma Treasure to Li Yaozu.

As he accepted the ring granted by the Old Ancestor, Li Yaozu’s aged face turned a deep shade of crimson.

Predictably, Sister Fang’s suspicious voice echoed from the sword box: "A-Zu, why did the Li Family Old Ancestor mention you being affected by charms?"

"I was not!"

Paying no mind to Li Yaozu's sudden and frantic protest, Li Wei handed the boots and the previously captured long spear to Li Dalong.

He then began to run his fingers along the "Venerable-Reaping Voidcleaver Saber."

The length of the blade reached down to his waist.

The azure color of the weapon reminded Li Wei of the "Dragon Slaying Saber" he had seen in those incredibly obnoxious advertisements in his past life.

After purging the Divine Soul Imprint from the weapon, Li Wei broke into a grin.

"I shall rename you the Zhao-Slaying Saber from this moment on."

Li Wei was immensely satisfied with the Zhao-Slaying Saber.

The "Voidrain Saber Technique" used by Zhao Tingyu was stored within this heavy blade.

This was the exact technique that had successfully crushed the divine statues even when Grand Elder Puci and Li Dalong had joined forces to defend.

The lethality of the saber's rainbow-like shadows was truly terrifying.

With the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear for defense-breaking and the Zhao-Slaying Saber for the kill, they formed an ideal combination.

As Li Wei spoke, the Artifact Spirit within the Dharma Treasure began to vibrate violently.

Having served Zhao Tingyu for countless years, it was clearly resisting the idea of acknowledging a new master.

Such was the temperament of Dharma Treasures; once an Artifact Spirit developed consciousness, it frequently refused to serve anyone else.

However, it was of no concern. Once it was sent to Li Yaotie, it would be rendered perfectly submissive within a few years.

"As for you..."

With the spoils divided, Li Wei gripped the divine spear in his left hand and the divine saber in his right. With the divine pagoda hovering above, he shifted his focus toward Grand Elder Puci.

This caused Grand Elder Puci to jump in fright.

Li Wei’s raspy voice emerged from the swirling black mist.

"Your efforts in this struggle cannot be overlooked.Three of your ten immortal mountains were laid to waste; the Li Clan will naturally see to their restoration.Furthermore, you shall be rewarded with a High-grade Dharma Treasure once this conflict is settled."

"Thank... thank you, Your Excellency!" A look of relief and joy washed over Grand Elder Puci’s face.

His primary concern had been that the Li family might discard him once his usefulness was exhausted.

However, Li Wei’s subsequent words brought a strained, bitter smile back to Puci's face.

"Some things are better addressed directly," Li Wei continued in a flat tone.

"There is a mortal proverb that says, 'A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold.'That sentiment might apply to you, but it holds no weight within my Li Clan.We of the Azure Cloud Region will not quickly forget your moments of hesitation."

Grand Elder Puci’s complexion turned deathly pale at these words.

"Fellow Daoist Ming Tai has resided in the Duravia Trade Prefecture Immortal City for many years.He was once the Sect Master of the Ethereal Immortal Sect; it is high time he returned to lead it.The future of the Duravia Trade Prefecture's younger generation will be left to their own luck.You should focus entirely on your Cultivation instead.In these turbulent times, there are many paths to power; perhaps you can even strive to reach the Dao of Body Integration."

"This poor Daoist understands." Grand Elder Puci sighed, shaking his head.

This was an explicit order to relinquish all his authority.

The former Sect Master, Daoist Ming Tai, had lived in the Duravia Trade Prefecture Immortal City for over a century and was now inseparable from the Li Clan—he had even wed a daughter of the Azure Cloud Region’s Feng Family as his Dao Companion.

With Ming Tai being reinstated as the Sect Master of the Ethereal Immortal Sect, the disciples would effectively become vassals of the Li Clan from this day forward!

And because his own roots were tied to the Ethereal Immortal Sect, he would never again have the opportunity to play both sides, regardless of what the future held.

Still, Grand Elder Puci recognized that the moment Zhao Qingxia started massacring civilians, the Zhao Clan's downfall was inevitable.

In this fractured world, he had not found a leader as formidable as this since the death of Prince Qian.

"The ambition of becoming a Grand Preceptor or Imperial Preceptor... has come to nothing in the end."
