Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 169: Medicine King Valley

[Medicine King Valley]

It was a valley filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Even in the depths of winter, the heavy snow couldn't penetrate the protective formations of Medicine King Valley.

Spiritual energy swirled like mist, and the scent of medicinal herbs could be detected from miles away.

In this beautiful valley, a stark contrast to the snow-covered winter landscape outside, the grand formations were activated.

Because outside the gates... a group of strange people had appeared. They were calmly setting up an altar in front of Medicine King Valley, placing a bronze cauldron upon it. They were performing an ancestral sacrifice!

The alchemists and potion masters of Medicine King Valley gathered, their numerous retainers taking to the skies on their flying swords. This force, dedicated to aiding the world, was even more formidable than the Su family the Li family had faced before. Yet, even so, as they observed the surging demonic energy and the rising sword auras outside their gates, they remained on high alert.

Suddenly, the people of Medicine King Valley parted to create a path.

The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was an exceptionally beautiful woman, dressed in a long flowing robe, like a flower fairy. She was known in the martial world as the Divine Healer. Behind her stood Elder Qiuye of the Skyveil Sect and Xiao Huang'er!

It was unclear what had happened to Xiao Huang'er, but half of her hair had turned white, although her appearance remained unchanged.

There was also something different about her, She was pregnant!

"The Li family!" Upon seeing the eight people outside Medicine King Valley, Elder Qiuye's expression changed drastically. He had clearly taken Xiao Huang'er into hiding, yet the Li family had still found them and blocked their exit!

"Qiuye, kill them! Go and kill them! Avenge my children!"

The moment she saw the Li family members, the pregnant Xiao Huang'er went into a frenzy. Pointing at the people outside the gate, her magical power surged, and her Phoenix Dharma Body materialized.

However, Elder Qiuye remained motionless, his gaze darting about, his eyes filled with fear.

For seven years, the Azure Cloud region had been relentlessly searching for the Li family, with the Skyveil Sect also assisting in the effort. But... they had found nothing. On the contrary, the forces that tried to find the Li family suffered heavy losses.

And now, these madmen had come to them!

Yao Xian'er, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, slowly stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the Li family members outside the valley. She let out a long sigh, her expression compassionate. "Everyone," she said, "the Li family affair has been widely known, and I am aware of it. Why must you persist in this feud? The Xiao family was exterminated nine generations deep. Your Li family's resentment should have dissipated by now. When will this cycle of vengeance end?"

"Leave now. You are not capable of breaching my Medicine King Valley. By showing yourselves here, you've alerted fellow Daoists who will soon arrive. Consider this my good deed for the day."

The Li family members who had come were none other than Li Yaozu, the one who had slain a Golden Core cultivator with a myriad of swords two months ago, and the Seven Ironclad he had brought back with him!

A group of eight.

"What a pretentious act of benevolence!"

Li Wei narrowed his eyes and uttered his first curse word of the day, then hovered the mouse over the skill icon. It was only because he was separated by a screen. If he were in the game, he would definitely charge in with his spear without saying a word.

On the screen, the Li family members ignored Yao Xian'er.

If it were the Seven Ironclad from before, upon hearing such words, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold back and would have unleashed every curse word they knew.

But now, they paid her no heed, calmly setting up the ancestral tablets on the altar. Beneath Li Wei's tablet, they placed the tablet of the Pig Demon King.

Their bodies, as sturdy as oxen, were covered in black demonic markings that even spread across their faces. Demonic energy seeped from their bodies and rose into the sky, causing the clouds above them to be shrouded in demonic energy. Each of them carried a massive weapon: halberds, swords, hammers, spears, meteor hammers, staffs, and spiked clubs. These weapons, which they had used before, were also covered in demonic markings.

[In the Blood Frenzy Demonic Realm, immersed in a blood pool for seven years, your descendants, the Seven Ironclad, who were already united in heart and mind, collectively received the inheritance of the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord at his peak, all breaking through to the False Core Formation stage!]

[The Blood Frenzy Demon Lord's low-grade magical treasure, a fragment of the Blood-Drinking Mad Saber, merged with the weapons of the Seven Sons as part of their inheritance. Their weapons transformed into Natal Spirit Weapons, reaching the top-grade of Spirit Weapon rank.]

[Acquired the Blood-Drinking Demon Lord's innate cultivation technique, the Earth-grade "Undying Heavenly Demonic Art." It constantly absorbs spiritual energy from heaven and earth. As long as the spiritual energy within ten miles does not disappear, Injuries can be healed in an instant, and when cultivated to the point of transcendence, one can be reborn from a single drop of blood.]

[Acquired Trait: Demon Cultivator]

[Inherited the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord's madness, bloodlust, and brutality.]

[Acquired Trait: Symbiotic Beings]

[The seven individuals each inherited a portion of the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord's undying and indestructible ability. Divided amongst them, they only gained the power of rapid recovery. As long as their magical power remains, they can fight endlessly. The seven are one body; as long as one remains alive, all seven will exist.]

This was the current state of the Seven Ironclad, possessing the complete inheritance of the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord. This was also the reason why, two months ago, they were able to withstand the siege of three Golden Core cultivators until Li Yaozu arrived to rescue them!

Indeed, for those at the False Core Formation stage, Golden Soul cultivators were an insurmountable obstacle. But...

What if those False Core Formation cultivators were indestructible and wielded Earth-grade techniques and top-grade Spirit Weapons?

In fact, the Seven Ironclad had even greater potential than the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord, alone, were sealed away, it would be the end of him. But the Seven Sons were scattered in seven different locations. By self-destructing, they could be reborn where their brothers were.

Even though the Seven Sons had become demon cultivators, a trace of clarity remained in their eyes. Perhaps this was the benefit of the seven of them sharing and diluting the demonic nature of the Blood Frenzy Demon Lord.

Having set up the altar, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Medicine King Valley, they knelt and bowed towards the ancestral tablets led by Li Yaozu.

Li Yaozu unfastened his sword case and placed it beside him, causing dust and smoke to billow from the ground.

Both he and the Seven Ironclad offered three incense sticks to their ancestors and one to Old Pig.

Unlike Li Dalong, Li Yaozu didn't offer any formal sacrificial speech.

"Ancestor, only your child and these seven demon-influenced nephews are present here. Please bestow your blessings upon us, grant the descendants of the Li family victory in this battle, and avenge Old Pig! Your child will surely bring back the enemy's head!"

Watching the eight members of the Li family, uncles and nephews, kowtow, the people of Medicine King Valley were once again filled with fear and also a sense of... shame and indignation!

"You Li family members are truly audacious!"

Yao Xian'er was furious. A celestial lotus floated in the air as she glared at the people who were performing their ancestral sacrifice, completely disregarding Medicine King Valley. "I was kind-hearted," she declared, "yet you show me no respect and persist in your delusion! Do you truly believe that my Medicine King Valley fears your Li family?"

Li Yaozu seemed not to have heard her.

He simply tapped his sword case, and in an instant, swords erupted from within like a fountain, shooting toward the sky. The sound of clanging swords nearly drowned out all other noises in Medicine King Valley as countless swords continued to soar through the air!

These swords, like a rainbow shimmering with the glint of steel, formed an arc between the altar and Medicine King Valley ahead!

Li Yaozu, along with the Seven Ironclad, slowly rose to their feet. He casually picked up the ancestral tablet, his eyes flashing with sword-like sharpness as he gazed at the dense crowd within Medicine King Valley.

He tucked the ancestral tablet into his inner robe, kicked off the ground with his right foot, and charged toward Medicine King Valley alongside the myriad of swords!

"May the ancestors protect this child and grant me the power to slaughter everyone in Medicine King Valley!"
