Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 89: Mid Foundation Establishment Stage

[After a family meeting, your family has decided to take advantage of the chaos spreading throughout the Sky Jade City region to secretly eradicate the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion. Li Dalong, along with his wife, will borrow the spirit beast 'Wind Shadow Bright Spirit Bird' from the Silver Iron Forest and set off together.]

Li Wei, while eating melon seeds, watched this special operation unfold.

As he delved deeper into the game, Li Wei realized that every special operation had a specific reason behind it.

It was either a major event that threatened the Li family or an event that could bring benefits.

Though his main focus was always on the Li family's progress, Li Wei was also well aware of the situation with the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion.

The Listening Wind Martial Pavilion, located in Listening Wind Town, which lies within the domain of Sky Jade City, had its strongest cultivator at only the mid-foundation Establishment stage.

Although this small sect, supported solely by Foundation Establishment cultivators, was weak, the Li family still spent two months preparing to eradicate the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion, even utilizing their connections with the Su family of Tailin. The reason was that the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion was loyal to the Black Tortoise Sect. If they didn't make thorough preparations and avoid the eyes and ears of the Black Tortoise Sect in every aspect, the Li family could face a lot of trouble.

The ultimate goal was to obtain the auxiliary-type mid-grade spiritual artifact within the martial pavilion—

[Spirit Orb of Martial Demonstration]

[Foundation Establishment cultivators can, through comprehension, inscribe cultivation techniques onto the Spirit Orb for others to practice.]

Although this artifact's effect seems ordinary, the reason the Li family went to such great lengths is because they learned that after decades of experimentation, the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion had discovered that placing the Spirit Orb of Martial Demonstration on top of a building similar to the training rooms in Green Valley Village could further accelerate the cultivation speed of practitioners within the training room!

At this point, the Li family had already started to dismantle the ten training rooms and combine them into a large training room, preparing to place the Spirit Orb of Martial Demonstration on the dome.

Soon, on a late night, Li Dalong and his wife, along with the spirit beast, headed towards the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion located on a small hill outside Listening Wind Town.

Within the ancient architectural complex, under the cover of night, a killing intent suddenly arose!

Xu Cuihua, wielding a high-grade spiritual weapon, already possessed the ability to fight against a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Coupled with the peak Foundation Establishment level Wind Shadow Bright Spirit Bird, which was small like a sparrow but elusive, there was no one in this small sect who could withstand a single blow from them.

The Listening Wind Martial Pavilion only had a pavilion master at the Mid-Foundation Establishment stage and two elders at the early Foundation Establishment stage.

The Li couple and their spirit beast even knew exactly where to go and who to kill, clearly having a well-planned and targeted approach. They had thoroughly investigated the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion, making this truly a night of darkness, wind, and murder.

It was swift and decisive!

Li Wei originally wanted to switch the view to check on his other descendants,

But his hand on the mouse paused.

He saw the Li family members quickly incapacitating the pavilion master of the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion and capturing him alive. They then brought him to a cliff edge dozens of miles outside the mountain, where Li Dalong tightly gripped his neck.

"What's going on?"

Li Wei munched on his melon seeds intently. He noticed the complex emotions in Li Dalong's eyes: hatred, relief, and perhaps even a sense of liberation.

"Do you still remember who I am?" Li Dalong's voice was faint and slightly trembling.

"My friend, I... I don't know where I have offended you all? Let's talk things out. Do you want the Spirit Orb of Martial Demonstration? Take it, I... I also have a lot of spirit stones. I can give you all the spirit stones and everything valuable in our martial pavilion!"

The Listening Wind Martial Pavilion's master wasn't stupid either. He knew that if these people dared to come, they weren't worried about the Black Tortoise Sect backing him. He might as well beg for mercy and choose to live.

"You don't remember."

Li Dalong sighed deeply, "It's been forty-nine years. You don't remember me, but I remember you."

"You... who are you?!?!?!" The pavilion master became even more terrified.

Li Dalong ignored him and continued speaking to himself:

"Your Listening Wind Martial Pavilion claims to be a righteous sect within Listening Wind Town, but in reality, it's utterly filthy. Back then, when you were at the peak of Qi Refining and just establishing the Listening Wind Pavilion, oh, right, you also had another identity, a slave trader who stole other people's children and sold them."

"You..."

The pavilion master wanted to say something, but the veins on his forehead bulged as Li Dalong's grip tightened, rendering him speechless. Li Dalong then casually struck his palm, crippling the pavilion master's dantian!

"Children with good aptitude, you would sell to the major sects."

"Children with poor aptitude, you would use them as cauldrons!"

Li Dalong calmly broke the pavilion master's arms and legs.

"Do you know that when we, twelve cauldrons, reached the age of twenty, just when you were about to raise Gu worms in us, only I managed to escape alive from that hellhole of Listening Wind Pavilion in order to survive! I still remember the way my companions shouted at me to run faster!"

"Run faster... Ah Gou, you must escape..."

"I escaped, but my companions died. I could only follow my childhood memories to find my former home, but all I saw were my parents' graves. The thatched hut was abandoned, with only the ancestral tablet remaining."

"When you abducted me, I was still called Ah Gou, and the fortune teller hadn't given me a name yet."

"I know I'm not capable, but I dream of your death, of your martial pavilion's destruction!"

Li Dalong let out a long sigh. As Xu Cuihua's hand rested on his shoulder, Li Dalong finally showed a reassuring smile to his worried wife. Then, he stared coldly at the pavilion master, "I'm not called Ah Gou anymore. The nameless puppy who once lost his family and ran away with his tail between his legs now has a name, Dalong. Remember me in your next life, my name is Li Dalong!"

"It's time to let go of the past."

Li Dalong truly let go. He released the pavilion master, letting him fall off the cliff. Then, borrowing the spiritual weapon from Xu Cuihua, he flew down and unleashed a furious bombardment until the pavilion master's flesh and blood mixed with the dirty soil.

Watching everything on the screen, Li Wei felt as if he was standing beside Li Dalong, the cold night wind blowing against him.

The melon seeds in his hand suddenly lost their appeal.

This was the first time he learned about Li Dalong's tragic past. Perhaps this was the reason why Li Dalong gained the trait "Striving for Strength," and also the reason why Li Dalong, after obtaining the cultivation technique, constantly sought to change and achieve a better life.

The Li family had the strength to avenge Li Dalong many years ago.

But Li Dalong didn't seek revenge. Perhaps he knew that the Listening Wind Martial Pavilion had a powerful backer, and for the sake of the family's development, he had been suppressing his hatred. Even today, it was only because the family needed the Spirit Orb of Martial Demonstration; otherwise, Li Dalong might still not have taken the risk for personal reasons.

With a booming sound echoing from the game screen,

[Your descendant Li Dalong has broken free from his years of suppressed inner demons, and the trait 'Striving for Strength' has transformed into—]

[Trait: Destined for Greatness!]

[Your descendant Li Dalong has broken through to—]

[Mid Foundation Establishment stage!]
