Family Management Game In Immortal Continent Chapter 861: Thank You

Eastern Border.

From the Ancestral Space, Li Tianyue and Li Kuangren emerged back into the real world, their gazes brimming with astonishment.

The concealed mysteries of the Zishu family proved to be remarkably profound, but the pair simply shook their heads in response.

The family members had it right: the Fourth Prince's vow of reaching the Body Integration stage rang too empty and boastful.

Concentrating on the situation at hand represented the proper way forward.

All at once, both of them halted, frozen in surprise.

Li Tianyue stepped out toward the exterior.

Outside her rundown dwelling, the wide alley teemed with shifting forms, the noise of voices echoing up and down.

All of them were troops from the Eastern Border, including even two generals at the Divinity Transformation stage!

As soon as they spotted her, every soldier dropped to their knees in front of Li Tianyue!

"Your subordinates pay respects to General Yue!"

The troops got down on one knee in waves, the scrape of their armor producing a harsh grating noise.

A quick scan with her Primordial Spirit told her that more than a hundred thousand had gathered.

Li Tianyue had somewhat expected an event like this.

Her eyebrows knit together as she directed her gaze at one of the Divinity Transformation stage generals.

"What are you doing?"

One look revealed him as a battle-hardened warrior.

A thick murderous intent emanated from his frame, and dressed in silver chainmail, he appeared utterly formidable.

When Li Tianyue posed her question, he clenched his jaw and answered, "Reporting to General Yue: We are all veterans of the Eastern Border. The Eastern Expedition Army treats us unfairly, but fairness and a sense of right still linger in this realm."

"We heard that General Yue boldly opposed the Marshal.

Since the General is ready to stake her life for her troops, not a single one of us two hundred thousand soldiers refuses to stand by you through life and death."

"Your subordinate begs you, General: Please let us serve under your leadership!"

With the Divinity Transformation stage veteran general offering his obeisance, the vast ranks of immortal soldiers roared together, "General, please take us under your command!"

The shouts surged in relentless waves, echoing across the whole Eastern Expedition Army.

All eyes fixed on Li Tianyue's home.

Li Tianyue glanced at Li Kuangren, who now served as Prefecture Lord, and sent a voice transmission, "Can we bring these people along?"

"Aunt, the elders in the Ancestral Space mentioned that even if you wished to torch the Eastern Expedition Army entirely, that would be acceptable. However..."

Li Kuangren grinned, though a hint of concern flickered in his eyes as he paused.

"Just don't really set it ablaze, alright? Otherwise, your nephew will drown in tasks for ages."

Upon hearing that, Li Tianyue remained dazed for quite a while.

She detected an approaching force and swiftly lifted her sight to the skies.

There it was—the presence of the many Eastern Expedition Army commanders, along with the presences of various border generals.

One command from them, and endless forces would rush to block the way.

She shouldn't accept these hundred thousand immortal soldiers who backed her.

Instead, she should wait ten days, ensuring every plan was set and backups ready, prior to departing.

That approach formed the fundamental, logical choice for any commander.

Yet on this occasion, she refused to plan ahead!

Her whole existence had revolved around preparations: readying herself to wed into the Liu family, readying to guide her son Wuhuan into maturity, readying to ascend as a general...

Now, she yearned to act simply as an ordinary young woman—the child her elders once viewed.

She desired to act on impulse, but once.

She rose into the heavens, and beneath the stares of the troops and hidden watchers, she soared toward the city gates!

Li Tianyue gradually twisted her head around.

Gazing upon the immortal soldiers who gazed back in bewilderment, still down on one knee, she at last showed a subtle smile.

"What are you all waiting for? Are you not coming with me?"

As that soft voice reached their ears, the immortal soldiers leaped up one by one, yelling, "We swear to follow General Yue to the death!"

...

"Old General, Li Tianyue is behaving with complete abandon! She has led away yet another hundred and twenty thousand men!"

"She is departing, Old General! Those are our soldiers!"

"That makes a total of three hundred and twenty thousand troops... Old General, you have to halt them at once!"

"..."

Dongfang Liancheng suspended himself in the sky.

On the terrain beneath, the soldiers flowed like a dark serpent; the ground resembled a gentle stream, and they surged from the Eastern Expedition Army, bold and unrestrained.

He observed Li Tianyue soaring overhead.

Across the three centuries she had stood at his side, this marked the initial instance of witnessing Li Tianyue so liberated and elated.

He could even feel her joy in that instant.

And this force of three hundred and twenty thousand... how long had passed since his own ranks displayed such vigor and enthusiasm?

He couldn't recall. Too much time had elapsed.

The pleas from those nearby filtered into his hearing, resembling the babble of fiends and beasts.

"You are free."

Dongfang Liancheng exhaled deeply.

He ignored the pleas of his underlings completely and dispatched no forces to pursue.

Right then, Tang Miao drew near, his features twisted in fury.

"Old General! They are going! That is an army of three hundred and twenty thousand!

If they depart, how will we save face?

They ought to battle for our Eastern Border City; even in death, they should perish on the fields of Duskwild Prefecture!"

Yet Dongfang Liancheng merely regarded him with icy detachment.

The Old General's tone carried zero warmth.

"This follows the Imperial Dynasty's command. Since they've left, allow them to. Don't we still possess you?"

Tang Miao's face shifted. "Old General, what do you mean by that?"

"You will not get the chance to learn." Dongfang Liancheng scoffed.

"Did you truly believe your small schemes could fool the Li family?

You know them far too poorly.

I suspect that already, the Li family has carved a path into your Forgotten Immortal Lands."

"What?!!" Tang Miao's complexion drained of color.

"Oh, and the Imperial Capital has also decreed harsh penalties for those implicated."

In that instant, Dongfang Liancheng's demeanor seemed utterly aloof in Tang Miao's view.

The Old General's words chilled like the snow atop distant peaks.

"Exit my Eastern Expedition Army in one hour. If not, I will deliver you to the Immortal Suppression Department for questioning, and your death is certain."

"You..." Tang Miao wasted no time and bolted away immediately.

With Tang Miao escaping and Li Tianyue's mighty host withdrawing, Dongfang Liancheng released a heavy sigh.

He ascended to the border city's battlements. Staring toward the far-off Duskwild Prefecture, his weathered eyes gleamed with the savage intensity of an eagle clashing with a tiger!

"Fourth Prince, the forces on our flanks hail from diverse great powers.

From here on, to root out this deep-seated corruption, we will keep hurling the immortal soldiers of these powers into the fray."

"This remains, ultimately, the realm of the Zishu clan.

These schemers with hidden agendas merit falling in this fatal snare.

They will bear the cost of their avarice, thereby cleansing the disloyal threats for the Imperial Family and my Human Race."

"On this point, our views match perfectly."

With those words, he drew in a profound breath and glanced over his shoulder.

"Those unfit to perish have all gone. This turns out ideal. I merely wish you a promising path ahead."

As he whispered to himself, a shadowy crow arrived.

Dongfang Liancheng arched a brow. "A message from the Old Li family?"

He unfolded it.

It came from Li Dalong, bearing just two words.

[Thank you]

"Hmph."

The Old General shattered the shadowy crow in his fist.

Resting his palms on the fortifications, he surveyed the endless warzone afar.
