Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 145: Has The Li Family Decided To Enter This Game?

Returning to the Li family residence, they found that the Li family had summoned all the forces under their control from outside, and they were all investigating this matter. The Cloudsea Pavilion, which had the deepest ties with the Li family, had also arrived, with Huang Xiujin personally present.

It was unclear what kind of trust the Li family and Huang Xiujin had built over the years.

Li Dalong and his wife even brought this old friend to the Pig Demon King's tomb.

"The Cloudsea Pavilion is one of the best intelligence agencies in the Azure Cloud region. I believe that with the addition of my divination technique, we should be able to uncover something."

Huang Xiujin let out a long sigh and hesitated for a moment. "But Brother Dalong, are you sure you want to continue this investigation?"

Hearing this, Li Dalong furrowed his brow. "Brother Huang, what do you mean?"

"I have no intention of stopping the Li family from seeking revenge."

Huang Xiujin sighed. "Actually, when I received the news, I already had some suspicions. And I also calculated that it wouldn't be difficult to investigate."

"Over the years, although the Li family doesn't have the foundation of a Golden Core clan, Sky Jade region has gradually recognized your position as its overlord. After all, those who have become enemies of the Li family have all vanished from this world."

"Although there are no rumors, after years of investigation by various parties, even the most foolish forces can guess that the Silver Iron Forest is the Li family's backing, not my Cloudsea Pavilion. To be honest, although I have a deep friendship with you, the Cloudsea Pavilion is still its own power. It's impossible for us to do so much for the Li family."

"Do you think it's normal that the Demon King of the Silver Iron Forest is dead now, and your trump card is gone?"

Li Dalong wasn't surprised. He had also considered these things, but remained silent.

He also knew clearly that Huang Xiujin would ultimately be unable to understand the depth of the bond between the Li family and the Pig Demon King.

Seeing that Li Dalong didn't respond, Huang Xiujin continued, "Then Brother Li, you must think carefully. After the investigation, the Li family may face a force, or a person, with the power to kill a cultivator at the middle stage of Golden Core."

"Moreover, the trouble you face may be even greater. After all, I have also heard the intelligence reports. The wounds on the Demon King's body were all deliberately inflicted with restraint. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Demon King to escape all the way back to the Li family. Wouldn't it have been easier for the enemy to simply destroy the body and eliminate all traces? After all, every part of the Demon King's body is a treasure."

"In other words, this powerful opponent deliberately left clues and didn't even bother to dispose of the Demon King's body. They are waiting for the Li family to react in anger. There's a conspiracy at play here."

"Has the Li family decided to enter this game?"

Li Dalong still didn't answer.

But as the cold night wind blew past, Huang Xiujin looked at Li Dalong's upright back and his clenched fists, and he understood Li Dalong's decision.

Bathed in moonlight, the thirty-meter-tall tree of the Li family cast a crimson glow over the moonlit residence.

Huang Xiujin could only offer a wry smile. "I must say, I'm somewhat envious of your Li family's courage and resolve."

He made a quick calculation with his fingers.

Suddenly, with a hint of intrigue, he said to Li Dalong, "Brother Dalong, Sister-in-law Cuihua, the Li family is now in grave danger. My Cloudsea Pavilion is not one to shy away from challenges either. I have a female disciple, my adopted daughter, who is exceptionally talented and in the prime of her life. I wonder if the Li family would be willing to forge a marriage alliance with my Cloudsea Pavilion?"

...

"Easy to investigate?"

Li Wei took a deep breath, his expression gradually returning to normal. From his initial grief, he slowly began to ponder, seemingly grasping a faint understanding of the situation.

Perhaps the Li family had indeed fallen into some kind of trap. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible for the Pig Demon King to have been safe for so many years while venturing outside, only to die on this particular outing.

Huang Xiujin's words were spot on.

The Li family had been developing for so many years. Although they had never openly declared their ambitions, the various factions and forces were not fools. It was impossible for them not to notice the Li family's growth, especially with Li Yunbing's growing ambition. The Li family was truly invincible in the Sky Jade region because they had secretly eliminated all their enemies.

However, the Li family thought they had hidden themselves well, yet their actions were too obvious.

Anyone might want to eliminate the Li family, this formidable enemy, and devour this large piece of fat meat.

While Li Wei was lost in thought, Li Dalong and Huang Xiujin had already left.

In the crimson night, at the entrance of the Pig Demon King's tomb, a figure appeared.

Li Wei's brow furrowed tightly. "Why is he here?"

It was a young man.

Li Tianming, the deviant of the Li family and its only traitor. Li Wei couldn't help but be wary, fearing that he might suddenly decide to kill a few of his siblings for fun. He was ready to expel this threat at any moment. After all, this guy... despite the Li family's tight defences, had still managed to slip into their home unnoticed and reach the tomb. This demonstrated his skills.

Yet, unexpectedly, Li Tianming didn't do anything outrageous this time. Instead, he stood in a daze before the Pig Demon King's tomb for a long time, then abruptly knelt down. With his personality, he should have been cold-blooded and unfeeling, but there was a hint of grief in his eyes as he kowtowed repeatedly.

"Granduncle, Tianming has returned! Please forgive me for not being able to see you one last time."

"This kid actually has this side to him?"

Looking at the small text above Li Tianming's head, Li Wei was also stunned, especially by the entries in his history event log.

[Year 83rd: Upon hearing of the death of his Granduncle, who had raised him since childhood, Li Tianming was overwhelmed with grief. That night, he killed his unfaithful wife and fled the Azure Cloud region overnight. Gained trait: Wife Killer]

[Attack damage against wives increased by 200%]

It had to be said that his [Born Villain] trait was incredibly powerful, as even this emotional fluctuation had triggered another trait.

[Kneeling before his Granduncle's grave, Li Tianming was overwhelmed with complex emotions. Only two people in his life could stir his heartstrings: his Granduncle, who had raised him since childhood, and his elder brother, who had always nagged him. Now that one of them was dead, the malice in his heart intensified. Gained trait: Avenger]

[He was like a hybrid of a honey badger and a venomous snake, lurking in the darkness, relentless until his enemies were dead!]

"No matter how twisted he is, he's still family."

Li Wei murmured to himself. As long as this guy didn't kill his siblings, it wouldn't be too bad. After all, the people he had been killing recently weren't good people either.

Just treat him as an outsider.

Li Tianming was still kowtowing.

Footsteps sounded behind him, causing his expression to change. His initial wariness at the sight of the newcomer suddenly turned to joy. "Big Brother!"

But before he could finish speaking, all he saw was his brother's flying sword. His brother was not as gentle as before, his face pale, and he was actually being fierce towards him!

"Beast!"

"Are you here to rob the grave? You won't even spare Granduncle?"

This startled Li Tianming, and he waved his hands repeatedly. "Big Brother, isn't it you who goes out every night in black clothes to rob graves?"
