Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 1388: Chapter 1382: The Wenren Immortal Clan

The Wenren Immortal Clan, a massive hidden faction.

The people of the Imperial Capital called the Wenren Immortal Clan the ‘Immortal Clan that rose from beneath the skirts’.

As an immortal clan that predated even the Imperial Dynasty, the Wenren family had survived to this day entirely due to their skill at ignoring worldly affairs.

Their clan had always been kind to others, just like Wenren Jiuyue in the Western Frontier back then, exceptionally humble.

Being kind to others was one thing, but this clan also had many points of criticism.

Back when the Human Race waged the great war against the Wu Tribe and the Demon Race, the Zishu family had repeatedly requested the Wenren family’s assistance, but the Wenren family completely ignored them, acting as if they were mute.

Many years after the establishment of the Imperial Dynasty, the Wenren family shamelessly cozied up to the Imperial Dynasty, until even the Human Emperor gradually forgot their indifferent spectating.

This clan had a massive population, with the descendants of the Wenren family continuing for an unknown number of generations.

Once outside the Wenren family’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, the children of the Wenren family even gradually forgot their surname.

Under the suppression of the Human Emperor, the family’s inheritance and resources could at most support two Body Integration realm experts.

It wasn’t until Wenren Xianyi became Empress with the family’s help that the Wenren family officially began to rise, becoming an important part of the Imperial Dynasty.

At this time.

Beneath an ancient tree within the Wenren Immortal Clan’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, the middle-aged-looking Patriarch of the Wenren Immortal Clan, Wenren Yiyuan, wore a calm expression.

“How much longer until we reach the Heavenly Palace?”

Beneath the ancient tree, Wenren Yiyuan sipped his tea in silence.

Everything happening in the Imperial Capital seemed to be within his control.

Seeing the Patriarch so composed, the numerous Wenren family descendants kneeling toward him couldn’t help but feel much more at ease.

They mused inwardly that the Wenren family’s current status was largely thanks to this Patriarch, Wenren Yiyuan.

The Patriarch was the Empress’s father, and the Empress’s current status was mostly due to the teachings she received by his word and example.

“Reporting to the Patriarch, in two more days, we will reach the Heavenly Palace,” a clansman said with a bow.

“Now that we have concealed our aura, although our movement is a hundred times slower, I imagine the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor will not be able to find us.”

“The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor is courting death, and the entire Li Clan will perish because of this. Once the Southern Frontier is destroyed, there will be no place for the Li Clan in this world.”

Another young Wenren clansman smiled. “However, in your child’s eyes, we don’t even need to flee. Before our Wenren Clan, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, Li Wei, is nothing.”

“If we open the foundation our Wenren Clan has accumulated over these past centuries…”

This person was Patriarch Wenren Yiyuan’s most favored junior, Wenren Zikun, possessing extraordinary aptitude.

The Patriarch had even said that given the Wenren Clan’s current status and foundation, Wenren Zikun might even have the potential to break through to the Mahayana realm ten thousand years in the future.

As such, this person also knew many of the family’s secrets.

Speaking of the family’s foundation, even the family’s higher-ups knew very little.

They only knew that their family was in control of the Divine Shrine, and after Wenren Xianyi became Empress, the family had been developing at a rapid pace.

Powerful existences frequently entered and exited their family, even immortals… These experts frequently entered the Wenren family, only to leave quickly.

Any family descendant within the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land could sense that the family was seemingly hiding a massive secret.

But before Wenren Zikun could finish his sentence, he was met with Wenren Yiyuan’s icy glare.

Wenren Yiyuan said expressionlessly,

“It is better to be careful. The Li Clan’s Old Ancestor possesses the rules of space and time.

His Dao is unprecedented. Once fully grown, he will be comparable to Ancestor Lan, and he is nearly invincible within the Body Integration realm. He cannot be underestimated.”

Seeing the somewhat disappointed looks in everyone’s eyes, Wenren Yiyuan cast a dissatisfied glance at the loose-lipped Wenren Zikun.

He cursed inwardly that while this child’s aptitude was good, he was a bit too arrogant, regretting having shown him the family’s foundation.

Now that this child had mentioned the family’s foundation, he couldn’t let the juniors think he was playing favorites, so he said:

“Cultivate diligently. There is no need to worry about the Azure Cloud Li Clan, nor the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor.

Now that our Wenren family has our daughter Xianyi presiding over the Imperial Dynasty, standing above millions of people, the Zishu family’s world will sooner or later belong to our Wenren family.

Any one of you could potentially ascend to the imperial throne.”

“Today, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor makes our Wenren Immortal Clan scurry like snakes and rats. In the future, our Wenren Immortal Clan will personally swing the blade.”

A Wenren Clan descendant said in shock, “Patriarch, I heard the Azure Cloud Li Clan has many Body Integration experts; every single one of them is a genius. We…”

Wenren Yiyuan sighed, “It will be a pity for the Azure Cloud Li Clan when that time comes. Their strength is extraordinary, but unfortunately, they have not seen the world and are far too sharp and exposed.

Having many Body Integration experts and numerous geniuses cannot compare to our Wenren Clan lying dormant for many years, waiting to take the stage after others have finished their act.

The Azure Cloud Li Clan is ultimately like a fleeting orchid cactus, pitiful and lamentable.”

“When the Li Clan perishes at the hands of our Wenren Clan, the Li Clan’s name will not be buried in the long river of time. This can also be considered their blessing.”

The gazes of the Wenren Clan descendants were filled with longing.

They could already foresee the bright future of the Wenren Clan, cheering loudly for the Patriarch’s lifespan to rival the heavens.

But right at this moment.

“Boom!”

The Wenren family’s estate suddenly shook violently.

Wenren Yiyuan stood up in sheer horror, staring at a high mountain within the family’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

This mountain was quite inconspicuous, merely a place where the family’s branch lineage cultivated Spirit Plants. “Who is it?!!”

He had no time to say more. A flash of anxiety crossed his eyes as he instantly headed toward the mountain, leaving behind only a voice transmission where he vanished.

“Everyone in the family, gather at Medicine Mountain. Prepare for battle.”

“Medicine Mountain absolutely must not be lost!”

Meanwhile.

On a mountain exuding the fragrance of spiritual herbs, dust and mist filled the sky as rocks tumbled down continuously.

Wielding his long spear, Li Wei utilized spatial rules to instantly enter the Wenren Immortal Clan’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land without making a single sound.

He even saw Wenren Yiyuan drinking tea beneath a tree in the Wenren estate, conversing with the cultivators of the Wenren Immortal Clan.

His initial thought upon entering the Wenren family was to kill Wenren Yiyuan at all costs; killing Wenren Xianyi’s father would surely be enough to drive her mad.

Perhaps it could even lure Wenren Xianyi out of the Heavenly Palace to be killed.

But passing by Medicine Mountain, Li Wei changed his mind.

“There is indeed something wrong here.”

From the moment he entered the Wenren family, Li Wei felt there was something off about this mountain.

His spatial rules allowed him to peer through space and see many things; even a Tier-3 grand array was practically non-existent in his eyes.

But this Medicine Mountain was different!

This seemingly ordinary mountain would subconsciously be ignored by normal people.

Yet, it was enveloped in array formations designed to shield against heavenly secrets—layer upon layer of array formations!

Ironically, Li Wei’s spatial rules sensed the space of the entire Wenren estate like a light spectrum, yet this specific place was a dark spot the spectrum couldn’t illuminate…

If it had been another Body Integration expert, or even a Mahayana expert, they might not have discovered it at all.

Under this strike, as expected, it couldn’t break the array formations of Medicine Mountain at all.

However, the exterior of the mountain was shattered, and amidst the billowing dust and smoke, everything was laid bare before his eyes.

A trace of confusion flashed through Li Wei’s eyes.

From behind him came a middle-aged man’s icy and furious voice, “You have a lot of nerve!”

Li Wei turned around and, beneath the sky filled with dust and smoke, looked at Wenren Yiyuan.

He didn’t know the person in front of him. Seeing cultivators of the Wenren Clan rushing over from all directions, he said faintly, “It seems I came to the right place on this trip.”

He could feel Wenren Yiyuan’s absolute fury!

In the dust and smoke behind him, the rocks of Medicine Mountain tumbled down, shedding its outer layer.

Within the layer upon layer of grand arrays radiating a green glow, there were tentacles—exactly like the ones formed when the immortal infant of Grandhaven Prefecture used immortal arts to manifest the watchdog.

These blood-red tentacles were wrapped around numerous silhouettes.

The suction cups on the tentacles squirmed continuously. As Medicine Mountain shed its outer layer, low, gurgling sounds echoed.

The Spiritual power, life force, and souls of those trapped by the tentacles were slowly fading away; the vast majority were already nothing more than corpses.

On the ground, figures sat cross-legged upon the massive grand array.

The Spiritual power and life force absorbed by the tentacles were entirely channeled into their bodies—there were approximately five hundred of them.

Accompanied by the rumbling of Medicine Mountain, they opened their eyes. Pairs of eerie green eyes pierced through the dust and smoke, staring fixedly at Li Wei’s back.

At the same time.

Outside the Wenren estate, the numerous arriving mighty figures of the Imperial Dynasty ground to a halt.

Wei Gang could similarly sense everything within the Wenren family.

His gaze converged on Medicine Mountain. The silhouettes revealed within Medicine Mountain left Wei Gang petrified. His eyes darted around, and he was already drenched in heavy sweat.

Seeing Wei Gang stop, The Junior Commander of Destiny grew extremely anxious. “Commander Wei, the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor is inside the Wenren estate, we…”

“No, we cannot go in, you…” Wei Gang stiffened his neck, turning to stare at the Daoist friends following him. “Let me think about this carefully.”

“Why?” The Junior Commander of Destiny was puzzled. He gnashed his teeth, wanting nothing more right now than to slay the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor within the Imperial Dynasty!

“Do not move!”

Under the crowd’s bewildered gazes, Wei Gang let out a cold, sharp shout, sounding almost hysterical.

When he looked back at the Wenren Clan’s Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, his heart was filled with nothing but absolute terror.

“The Empress… what a monstrous sin.”

…

At this moment, seeing Medicine Mountain broken open and everything discovered by the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor, he was already consumed by panic.

He could only force himself to remain calm. Staring at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor before him, he racked his brains for a countermeasure.

The maddening scene within Medicine Mountain was laid bare, and he also sensed the people arriving outside the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.

At this moment, he even hoped against hope that the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor lacked the knowledge to understand what he was seeing.

Unfortunately, he did not.

“An array that drains human life and Spiritual power, with an immortal residing inside. There is nothing easier to channel than this.”

Li Wei exhaled a long breath.

Without even casting a glance behind him, he said faintly,

“Those having their Spiritual power drained are half-immortals, and those below reaping everything are clearly the people of your Wenren Clan. You have… such massive ambition.”

Wenren Yiyuan was left speechless. He clenched his fists tightly; where was the composure he had just displayed in front of his family descendants?

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I finally understand why the Blood Moon exists, why you want to kill Ancestor Lan, why you insist on indulging the Blood Moon, and exactly how you are collaborating with the immortals.”

“Everything stems from the ambition of your Wenren family. The sheer ruthlessness of your Wenren family would put even the King of Hell to shame.”

Wenren Yiyuan stared deadlocked at the Li Clan’s Old Ancestor before him.

His thoughts raced as he exhausted every possible excuse and every conceivable tactic in his mind.

He didn’t even dare to let the reinforcements outside the Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land enter the Immortal Clan.

His voice squeezed through his gritted teeth, “Friend, name your price. Forget everything you saw here today.”

Amidst the dust and smoke, Li Wei’s brows furrowed tightly.

Behind him were the wildly thrashing tentacles, gripping half-immortals whose eyes were completely numb.

Those members of the Wenren Immortal Clan abruptly stood up.

At this moment, Li Wei knew.

The Wenren family was finished.

The Imperial Dynasty… was also thoroughly finished.
