Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 826 - 821: Zhao Clan’s Greatest Secret
Previously on Family Management Game In Immortal Continent...
"You despicable bastards."
Within the Void Refining Space, Li Wei stood once more before the deceased Zhao Tingyu; however, he was no longer alone, as Zhao Buqun had joined him.
Li Wei’s face was twisted with a dark, burning fury.
The crimson veins, visible only to him and Li Yaowen, throbbed against his temples; the full truth had finally been revealed to him.
When they first invaded the Zhao Clan's territory, they suspected a hidden trump card existed; otherwise, such pathetic trash could never have endured for one hundred and sixty thousand years.
Their initial assumption was that the Zhao Clan was employing some secret technique to revive their Old Ancestor.
However, they never guessed that throughout these sixteen millennia, the primary victim of the Immortal Zhao Clan wasn't those whose Destiny was stolen, but the Old Ancestor himself.
The formation established by Zhao Buqun didn't just harvest the Destiny of others; it was simultaneously used to bind and suppress the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor.
That woman, Fairy Bai, was utilizing her spiritual power to sustain the array's integrity.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jingmiao used spiritual plants gathered from across the Immortal Domain to wipe the memories of his own kin, ensuring people like Zhao Qingguang remained ignorant of the truth.
And then there was Zhao Feimeng, the hidden figure who had finally surfaced; she used illusions to keep the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor suppressed, ruthlessly exploiting him for their selfish gains.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The rhythmic pulse echoed once more.
It was a desperate plea for salvation from the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor.
"I already told you, your end has arrived!"
Dressed in simple robes, Zhao Tingyu returned to life once again, casting a mocking glare at the Li Clan Old Ancestor standing before him.
"Pathetic Li Clan Old Ancestor... you are a mere speck compared to my family’s Old Ancestor!!!"
"Sigh." Zhao Buqun let out a breath of mock sympathy.
"You people of the Azure Cloud Li Clan... you tried every tactic to isolate and execute my Zhao clansmen, using military maneuvers to butcher my people.
Yet, you were oblivious to the fact that all your efforts were in vain.
Our Zhao Clan Old Ancestor is a divine entity; this secret was hidden even from the Human Emperor when he sought to wipe us out in the past.
Now... we are forced to slaughter every living soul in the Azure Cloud Prefecture."
"I’ll kill your entire bloodline!!!"
Li Wei could no longer contain the volcanic rage within his soul. "One Thought!"
This time, Zhao Tingyu lacked any protective artifacts to shield his body.
In the blink of an eye, Li Wei reappeared, his spear already having torn through Zhao Tingyu’s chest!
Yet, the previous terror was missing from Zhao Tingyu's expression.
Instead, he grabbed the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear with a death grip.
Despite his flesh and soul being shredded by the Tianshu Spirit-Suppressing Spear, a sneer remained on his pale face as he looked at Li Wei.
"A formidable technique. But what does my death matter?
Never before has my Immortal Zhao Clan held this much Destiny from the heavens and earth.
My kin can return ten times, even a hundred times!"
Following those words, Zhao Tingyu—completely disregarding his own life—wrapped his arms around Li Wei in a tight embrace.
Zhao Buqun had already finished chanting his technique.
"BOOM!"
A thunderous blast shook the area, and the Li Clan Old Ancestor's physical form was utterly vaporized within the lethal formation.
...
"Regroup! Stand your ground! If they can be slain once, they can be slain again!"
"Activate the array!"
On the front lines, Li Tianyue, Li Xinghuo, and Li Xinnian maintained stern countenances while directing the Azure Cloud Prefecture's battalions.
Every soldier from the Azure Cloud Prefecture was shivering with dread.
Even Li Yunlin and his companions, who had plunged into the thick of the fray, were ashen-faced, forced to grit their teeth to keep fighting.
After eliminating the Li Clan Old Ancestor, Zhao Buqun ascended into the sky, surveying the Immortal Domain battlefield from above.
Slits opened atop the Old Ancestor’s heart once more, and clansmen began to crawl out from the organ.
Zhao Tingyu materialized at his side once again.
Clad in new garments, Zhao Tingyu stretched his limbs, his face full of disdain.
"That Li Clan Old Ancestor commands Time Laws; he is indeed a nuisance.
However, he pales in comparison to our own Old Ancestor.
What our Old Ancestor grants us... is eternal rebirth."
"This is the ultimate secret of my Zhao Clan."
Zhao Buqun’s vision cut through the air, noticing Li Dalong charging toward the Heart while wielding the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.
His brow furrowed.
"We cannot allow a single survivor.
Finish them quickly.
Afterward, we shall march on the Azure Cloud Prefecture, consume their Destiny, and then go into hiding for a millennium to plot our next move."
"Understood..."
Zhao Tingyu had barely finished his casual reply when the expressions of both men shifted violently.
They watched as the spirit tablets belonging to the Li clan rose into the sky.
Right before Zhao Buqun and Zhao Tingyu, a black mist began to condense once more.
Zhao Buqun narrowed his eyes.
He detected a familiar presence—the exact aura of the Li Clan Old Ancestor he had just destroyed.
"You can also return from the grave?!!"
The Yin-Yang Diagram, the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, the Pagoda, and the Saber all manifested.
Li Wei looked at the two Zhao members, then turned his gaze toward the bloody battlefield and ground his teeth.
"I am going to slaughter every last one of you unfilial monsters!!!"
"Hmph! Let us see how many lives you truly have..."
Zhao Buqun gave a cold snort, but his confidence suddenly vanished, replaced by sheer panic.
Every member of the Zhao Clan felt the same sudden terror.
"BOOM!"
A sequence of massive explosions thundered across the horizon.
On the plains below, the towering structures of the Zhao Clan were being demolished one after another!
Suddenly, a tidal wave of terrifying, devilish Qi surged forward from the distance.
A single horizontal saber flash cleaved through a whole row of the Zhao Clan’s towers.
Seven massive men, built like iron pillars, shifted into devilish forms and began a rampage, focusing exclusively on toppling the tall towers.
"Devils... They are Devils!!!"
Zhao Buqun’s face turned deathly pale.
He could never forget the era when his family was first wiped out.
At that moment.
Hovering in the air above that massive, pulsing heart was a handsome man whose eyes were a void of pure white.
"Suppress!"
As he reached out his hand...
"Thump! Thump!"
The heavy beating of the colossal heart stopped instantly.
"The Human Emperor... those are the Eyes of the Human Emperor!" Zhao Tingyu was shaking uncontrollably.
During the second time their family was hunted, they hadn't even been able to fight back.
Had the Human Emperor not dismissed them as mere insects, even their Old Ancestor’s heart would have been destroyed back then!
In that brief second of shock, the Li Clan Old Ancestor’s spear plunged into Zhao Tingyu’s heart once more.
"You survived two exterminations before, but this time, I will ensure you are erased from existence!" Li Wei bellowed.
He was consumed by a righteous fury.
As an Old Ancestor himself, no one felt the agony of the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor more deeply than he did.
"If the Heavens refuse to punish you animals, then I shall be the one to do it!"
