Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 862: Have You No Shame

Three days had passed.

"How could things turn out this way?"

Tang Miao stepped through the empty air, hurrying toward the Forgotten Immortal Lands, his complexion ashen.

The Old General, who had permitted his wild and unrestrained actions in the military for years on end, had transformed into an entirely different person just three days prior.

Tang Miao was convinced that staying even a second more in the Eastern Expedition Army would have led to Dongfang Liancheng seizing him without any delay!

And then there were Dongfang Liancheng's words—that the Li family would never spare Cloudreach Mountain...

Recalling Li Tianyue's bold actions inside the Eastern Expedition Army, along with the impressive might shown by the Li family, Tang Miao's heart raced wildly, his body quivering in terror.

"No way. I'm just imagining things.

To the Imperial Dynasty, every Void Refining cultivator counts as a vital fighting force.

Besides, the Imperial Dynasty faces chaos from within and threats from outside right now.

My Cloudreach Mountain stands as one of the two great forces in the Forgotten Lands; we're essential!

"If you provoke us, aren't you worried we'll halt the flow of troops to the Northern, Western, and Eastern Borders?"

Muttering these lines to himself, Tang Miao found himself relaxing considerably.

His eyes grew a bit icy.

"If the Azure Cloud Li Clan can sever your reinforcements and resources in the Eastern Border, then my Cloudreach Mountain can pull off the very same feat!"

Yet in that instant.

A profound, echoing voice boomed across the sky and ground!

"Dual Primal True Fire!"

A blazing surge of Spiritual power crashed toward him.

This Spiritual power, infused with the Laws of Extreme Flame, compelled Tang Miao to immediately unfold his Void Refining Space!

Glancing around once more, he discovered himself already within the Void Refining Space.

The whole realm burned with fierce fires, casting a red glow over everything.

Hovering in front of him was a sturdy, bald-headed fellow.

The man sported bulging muscles all over, clad only in brief shorts, his muscular contours etched with flawless precision.

He shouldered a gigantic hammer as large as a person—a tool emanating the presence of a Middle-Grade Dharma Treasure.

Across his utterly bald features, a fierce, brutal smile twisted.

"Are you the old fool picking on my granddaughter? Just look at how ancient you are! Don't you feel any embarrassment?"

Tang Miao's face darkened severely.

At that point, another silhouette entered the Void Refining Space.

This figure donned a pointed bamboo hat.

One after another, dark spheres appeared, as shadowy Spiritual power slowly dominated half the area.

His arms were hidden in his baggy sleeves, and his face tilted down, revealing just a sharp chin.

His tone came out ghostly and soft.

"Tang Miao.

One of Cloudreach Mountain's two Void Refining cultivators.

Six thousand two hundred and thirty-seven years of age.

Once the runner-up on the Nascent Spirit List."

"You advanced to Void Refining from the Five-Five Divinity Transformation stage."

"But that success came solely because an elder from Cloudreach Mountain's previous generation, at Early Void Refining, burned his last thousand years of life to grant you a Direct Empowerment and push your breakthrough."

"A run-of-the-mill Void Refining cultivator.

He has engaged in six fights total on the Eastern Border front.

A Mid-Stage Void Refining cultivator.

His grasp of Laws remains average, yet he excels in wielding the Laws of Rock and Fire.

Inside his Void Refining Space, he creates stars that hold immense strength.

He shines especially in formations, deploying these stars like arrays to shield against foes."

"He once had a limitless path before him. Such a shame."

Two Void Refining cultivators!!!

Tang Miao, sweat beading on his brow, pretended to stay calm.

He managed a grin while eyeing the pair.

"You two have to be from the Azure Cloud Li Clan. Still, could there be some mix-up between us?"

However, the bald man and the enigmatic figure in the bamboo hat offered no reply; they simply fixed him with intense scrutiny.

Tang Miao's pulse thundered louder in dread.

"This must be... the Spirit Puppet Ancestor of the Li Clan, Senior Li Yaotie, isn't it?"

"You got it, it's your Grandpa here."

Hearing that, a flicker of alarm crossed Tang Miao's gaze!

He himself had hit the peak of Divinity Transformation by age one thousand; he was a freakish genius unseen in ten millennia across the Immortal Lands.

Still, he only entered Void Refining at five thousand years old, and even so, he grasped the breakthrough's secrets only through a senior's dying legacy.

But this Li Yaotie... exactly how many years had he lived?!!

Tang Miao's look seemed earnest.

"There really is a misunderstanding here.

In the Eastern Expedition Army, this lowly one has offered plenty of help to Miss Tianyue all along.

Talking about 'bullying' is pure rubbish. Even the clampdown three days back came straight from that villain Dongfang Liancheng!"

With those words, he heaved a breath.

"As the proverb says: you can see a man's face but not his intentions.

That rogue Dongfang Liancheng plays both sides and hides his true nature.

He'll stoop to any low for command of the troops.

Through the years, as Miss Tianyue's standing in the forces rose, it was bound to draw Dongfang Liancheng's schemes against her.

On top of that, the guy harbors a nasty habit: he has a special liking for attractive female cultivators.

In the last few hundred years, who knows how many women in the ranks have quietly ended up in his grasp."

"Truth be told, the very reason this lowly one pursued Miss Tianyue over these years was to shield her from that old fox Dongfang's greedy eyes.

I've secretly confronted him more times than I can count. But... sigh, in the end, even I had to escape the Eastern Border.

I was about to head to the Li Clan to clear this up; I didn't anticipate you two tracking me down so soon."

Tang Miao poured out his words smoothly, his speech flowering like blooming lotuses.

In that instant, Zhuo Linlin at last lifted his head.

A glint of surprise and respect shone in his eyes.

For this guy not to team up as blood brothers with my Old Master is a total loss of potential.

"As for what you've said, Brother Yaotie and I do harbor some skepticism."

Tang Miao's face had just brightened with hope, but Li Yaotie's thunderous guffaw chilled it instantly.

"Too bad. We might not know you, but think we don't know Old Man Dongfang?"

Li Yaotie roared with laughter.

Blazes erupted from his enormous hammer, and the Heavenly Fire Divine Tree appeared at his back.

The Heavenly Fire clung to the hammer as he swung it fiercely at Tang Miao!

His glare burned with fury!

Dad once mentioned that back in his days serving at court, Dongfang Liancheng ranked among the rare upright figures there!
