Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 78: Everything Was Under The Control

Li Wei stared intently at the [Silver Iron Forest] map on the screen.

Now that the Li family could freely explore this map, the fog had long dissipated. As long as he clicked on the map, Li Wei could see the scene of any location.

And at this moment, The white dots in six directions on the map were all converging towards the Silver Iron Forest!

"They've entered the trap."

Li Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.

From the moment they learned the Pig Demon King was their in-law, this had already become a trap that the Li family had spent considerable time setting up!

And Li Wei knew clearly, Within this grand scheme, the Lantier Wu family was destined to bury their years of accumulated resources and power in the Silver Iron Forest!

On this map, the path leading to the depths of the Silver Iron Forest was completely unguarded.

Because...

"Not good! The Lantier Wu family has been wiped out!"

"The Demon King of the Silver Iron Forest appeared! It already knew about our seven families' plan to besiege it and intercepted the Wu family early, intending to defeat us one by one!"

"Someone from the Lantier Wu family came to ask for help. Our ancestor asked me to come and see if you want to help them or not?"

These families had just reached the middle section of the forest when they stopped.

On the map, four green dots were moving toward the four major families, delivering the news that the Lantier Wu family had been annihilated.

And these four green dots, Represent the people from the Li family and the Gu family!

The four major families hesitated for a moment, but they all tacitly sent four Qi Refining stage cultivators to investigate, then reluctantly retreated in the direction they came from. They had to believe the warning from their two allies, better safe than sorry.

After all, if they died, what would happen to their family?

"How could the news leaked? Could there be a traitor among us?"

"Regardless, all we can do now is wait for news."

"What about Master Shancai... Right, when we go back, we'll say the Lantier Wu family caused chaos and disrupted everyone's plans. It has nothing to do with us."

In front of the screen, Li Wei smiled.

There were indeed traitors, and two of them at that!

Otherwise, the allied forces of the seven families would have charged straight in, and there wouldn't have been any opportunity for such a strategic maneuver.

Everything...

Was under the control of the Li family!

...

"Family Head, we're back!"

At this time, In the direction of the Gu family in the Silver Iron Forest, they had actually remained in their original position, not moving at all.

And the two people who returned were precisely those who had delivered the message to the other two families!

"Hmm."

The head of the Gu family, who appeared like a scholar with his gentle and refined demeanor, yet possessed a hint of ruthlessness in his expression, spoke to his clan members in a cold voice. "This matter is a high-stakes endeavor, with consequences that could be devastating for us all. It must be kept strictly confidential. Do you all understand?"

"Understood!"

Everyone responded with furrowed brows.

However, an elder in the clan questioned, "Family Head, why do we need to harm the Lantier Wu family? You know our Gu family has experienced years of severe drought and desperately needs the resources from the Silver Iron Forest to replenish ourselves."

The head of the Gu family didn't get angry.

His composure was truly rare.

"A season ago, Li Yaozu from the Li family came to see me. He asked me a question that I found very interesting."

"Oh?" The crowds were puzzled.

The Gu family head said, "The young man from the Li family asked, even if we were to break into the Silver Iron Forest, would there be casualties? Would it be worth it if the elders that our families have spent hundreds of years cultivating were to die because of this?"

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other. In a life-or-death struggle, how could there be no casualties? However, they were all advanced in age, and their goal was to obtain more resources to nurture the future generations of their families.

"It's not worth it. But we have an opportunity, a chance to gain the wealth of a centuries-old family without sacrificing a single soldier!"

The Gu family head sneered, "Do you understand now?"

"The Lantier Wu family!"

"Most of their experts died in the Silver Iron Forest, and the Lantier Wu family is very close to us. They are a big, fat piece of meat ready for the taking!"

"The current Wu family is just a lamb to be slaughtered, I see!"

The many elders of the Gu family understood and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Why not take advantage of the free food without having to fight for it?

One of the elders suddenly realized, "No wonder that Li family girl dared to give suggestions in front of us. It turns out she had a plan all along. She deliberately mentioned going straight into the Silver Iron Forest to shut up that old fellow Wu Mengqiu! Then, we said we would attack the Silver Iron Forest from seven directions and spread the news that the Wu family was about to be destroyed, so all the families would leave."

As soon as these words were spoken...

The elder who had questioned earlier grew even more serious, his brow furrowing in contemplation. "In that case," he began, his voice heavy with the weight of the decision, "we must leave no one alive in the Lantier Wu family, otherwise, if this matter gets out, our Gu family will be treated as human traitors. Family Head, who will handle the Wu family?"

"Naturally, it's the Li family," the Gu family head said casually.

"The Li family?"

The many elders of the Gu family frowned, their eyes full of suspicion.

After all, when all the clans gathered this time, the Li family's power was really insignificant.

But the Gu family head laughed.

"You don't think that the Li family, who can destroy two clans on their own and even impress me, is overly confident, do you? When that little brat Yaozu discussed it with me, I saw absolute confidence in him!"
