Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 826 - 821: Zhao Clan’s Greatest Secret

"You bastards."

Within the Void Refining Space, Li Wei stood once more before the deceased Zhao Tingyu. This time, however, a second figure was present—Zhao Buqun.

Li Wei’s face was twisted with dark fury.

Those crimson veins, perceptible only to himself and Li Yaowen, were throbbing against his temples; the full truth had finally been revealed to him.

When they first invaded the Zhao Clan's territory, they suspected the clan harbored a deep secret; otherwise, such pathetic trash could never have endured for one hundred and sixty thousand years.

They had initially speculated that the Zhao Clan was employing some technique to revive their Old Ancestor.

Yet, they never guessed that throughout these sixteen millennia, the primary victim of the Immortal Zhao Clan wasn't the countless souls whose Destiny was stolen, but the Old Ancestor himself.

The formation created by Zhao Buqun did more than just harvest the Destiny of others; it was simultaneously acting as a seal upon the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor.

That Fairy Bai was providing the spiritual power necessary to sustain the array.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jingmiao utilized spiritual plants grown across the entire Immortal Domain to suppress the memories of the Zhao kin, ensuring that individuals like Zhao Qingguang remained ignorant of the reality.

Furthermore, there was Zhao Feimeng, who had remained hidden until now; she employed illusions to keep the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor suppressed, ruthlessly exploiting him for their own gain.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The rhythmic heartbeat echoed once again.

It was a desperate plea for help from the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor.

"I already told you, you’re finished!"

Zhao Tingyu resurrected yet again, clad in simple attire, and cast a mocking look at the Li Clan Old Ancestor standing before him.

"What a pathetic Li Clan Old Ancestor... you are absolutely nothing compared to my family’s Old Ancestor!!!"

"Sigh." Zhao Buqun released a pitying sigh.

"You people of the Azure Cloud Li Clan... you used every tactic to isolate and execute my Zhao clansmen, attempting to use military strategy to massacre my people.

However, you were unaware that all your efforts were in vain.

The Old Ancestor of my Zhao Clan is a divine entity; this was a secret hidden even from the Human Emperor when he purged my Zhao Clan in the past.

Now... we are left with no choice but to slaughter every living soul in the Azure Cloud Prefecture."

"I’ll kill your mother!!!"

Li Wei was unable to contain the fury roaring in his chest. "One Thought!"

This time, Zhao Tingyu possessed no protective artifacts for his body.

In the blink of an eye, by the time Li Wei reappeared, his spear had already driven through Zhao Tingyu’s heart!

Yet, Zhao Tingyu did not display his former terror.

Instead, he clamped his hands around Li Wei’s North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear in a death grip.

Even as his physical form and soul were being torn apart by the Tianshu Spirit-Suppressing Spear, Zhao Tingyu sneered at Li Wei through a bloodless face.

"A formidable technique. But what does it matter if you slay me? My Immortal Zhao Clan has never before secured this much Destiny from the heavens and earth. My kin can return ten times, a hundred times over!"

As he finished speaking, Zhao Tingyu—completely indifferent to death—clung tightly to Li Wei.

Zhao Buqun had already activated his lethal technique.

"BOOM!"

Following a thunderous blast, the body of the Li Clan Old Ancestor was utterly decimated within the killing formation.

...

"Regroup the ranks! Do not falter! If we can slay them once, we can slay them again!"

"Ready the array!"

On the field of battle, Li Tianyue, Li Xinghuo, and Li Xinnian looked on with grim faces as they led the Azure Cloud Prefecture's forces.

Every soldier from the Azure Cloud Prefecture present was shivering with dread.

Even Li Yunlin and the others, who had dived into the thick of the fray, were pale, forced to clench their teeth and continue the struggle.

Having dispatched the Li Clan Old Ancestor, Zhao Buqun ascended into the air, looking down upon the carnage in the Immortal Domain.

Upon the Old Ancestor’s heart, gashes ripped open once more, and clansmen began crawling out from within the organ.

Zhao Tingyu manifested at his side again.

Wearing new robes, Zhao Tingyu stretched his limbs with a look of pure derision.

"That Li Clan Old Ancestor wields Time Laws; he is indeed a troublesome opponent. However, he is far beneath our Old Ancestor. What our Old Ancestor grants us... is a fresh life."

"This is the supreme secret of my Zhao Clan."

Zhao Buqun’s vision pierced through the air, spotting Li Dalong charging toward the Heart while wielding the Heaven-Piercing Coffin.

He scowled.

"We must not allow a single survivor. Kill them all swiftly. Then we will move to the Azure Cloud Prefecture, consume their Destiny, and conceal our names for a millennium to prepare for the future."

"Understood..."

Zhao Tingyu had barely replied when the expressions of both men shifted abruptly.

They watched as the spirit tablets of the Li clan ascended into the sky.

Right before Zhao Buqun and Zhao Tingyu, a black mist began to coalesce once more.

Zhao Buqun narrowed his eyes.

He detected a familiar presence—the aura of the very Li Clan Old Ancestor he had just killed.

"You can also return from death?!!"

The Yin-Yang Diagram, the North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear, the Pagoda, and the Saber all materialized.

Li Wei glared at the two Zhao men, then cast a glance toward the battlefield and ground his teeth.

"I am going to beat you unfilial bastards to death!!!"

"Hmph! Let us see how many lives you truly have..."

Zhao Buqun gave a cold snort, but his arrogance was suddenly replaced by sheer panic.

Every member of the Zhao Clan felt the same terror.

"BOOM!"

A sequence of thunderous explosions erupted without pause.

On the ground below, the towering structures of the Zhao Clan were being demolished one after another!

Suddenly, a massive wave of demonic, devilish Qi surged forward, striking from the distance.

With a single sweep of a saber, a whole row of Zhao Clan towers was leveled.

Seven massive men, built like pillars of iron, shifted into devilish forms and tore through the crowds, focusing entirely on bringing down the towers.

"Devils... Devils!!!"

Zhao Buqun’s face turned ashen.

He could never forget the era when his family was first wiped out.

Just then.

Hovering in the air above that massive heart stood a handsome man with eyes of solid white.

"Suppress!"

As he reached out his hand...

"Thump! Thump!"

The rhythmic pounding of the great heart stopped instantly.

"The Human Emperor... that is the Eye of the Human Emperor!" Zhao Tingyu was shaking violently.

During the second time their family was destroyed, they hadn't even possessed the time to react. Had the Human Emperor not seen them as mere insects, even their Old Ancestor’s heart would have been obliterated!

In that moment of shock, the Li Clan Old Ancestor’s spear struck home, piercing Zhao Tingyu’s heart once more.

"You survived two purges before, but this time, I will ensure you are wiped from existence!" Li Wei bellowed.

He was truly livid.

As an Old Ancestor himself, nobody felt the tragedy of the Zhao Clan Old Ancestor more deeply than he did.

"If the Heavens refuse to punish you animals, then I shall!"
