Family Management Game In Immortal Continent

Chapter 172: Xiao Huang

The Drunken Madman grumbled, "The only interesting ones in your Li family are the Saintess and that traitorous brat, Tianming. The rest of you... from old to young, are so utterly boring. Why do you have to do things so quickly and decisively? You won't even let me have some fun with these two bastards."

"The Li family!"

Upon seeing Li Dalong, Xiao Huang'er went mad again. She had received the intelligence report about the day the Li family stormed the Xiao residence. In that footage, it was Li Dalong who commanded the Li family members and issued the order to kill!

"Qiuye, kill this scum! Go and kill him! Avenge my Xiao family!" Xiao Huang'er's Phoenix Dharma Body materialized. Despite being pregnant, she was still pulling and urging Qiuye to charge forward.

But...

Qiuye was sweating profusely. His worst fear had come true!

Li Dalong merely glanced at the two Dao companions with indifference. Then, just like his usual simple and honest self, he scratched his head, appearing slightly embarrassed, and replied to the Drunken Madman, "Senior, enemies meeting is always intense. If I manage to snatch some good wine next time, it will be even more interesting."

"Well said!" The Drunken Madman's eyes lit up.

"Then, Senior, please help me hold back this Elder Qiuye."

"You got it."

The Drunken Madman took another mouthful of wine, but this time, instead of swallowing it, he spat it towards Elder Qiuye on the distant spirit shuttle. After spitting, he grumbled, "Ah, what a waste of my good wine."

Despite his complaint, the Drunken Madman, being a peak Golden Core cultivator, spat out the wine, which transformed into nine dragons, roaring as they charged towards Elder Qiuye!

The two were already fighting elsewhere.

The Drunken Madman even had the leisure to glance back at Xiao Huang'er, who had already launched an attack with her Phoenix Dharma Body, and at Li Dalong, who was calmly unwrapping the white cloth from his coffin. "Patriarch Li," he called out, "can you handle this? That's a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, you know?"

Li Wei was also watching all of this unfold. Over the years, despite being lovey-dovey with Xu Cuihua, Li Dalong hadn't neglected his cultivation. However, advancing to the Golden Core stage wasn't that easy.

But...

"No, I can't defeat her."

Li Dalong replied honestly. As he watched the shadow of the phoenix approaching, he slowly opened the coffin, his gaze and voice both cold. "But I have the protection of my ancestors, and..."

Xiao Huang'er, who was attacking Li Dalong, suddenly found her spiritual power stagnating.

A formation rose from beneath Li Dalong's feet, and boundless deathly energy filled the air. One by one, ghostly figures crawled out from the formation!

It was the inheritance of the Heaven-Piercing Coffin: the Soul-Summoning Calamity Formation!

He could see it.

He saw the terror in Xiao Huang'er's eyes, and her gaze frozen in that instant.

Those ghosts of the dead...

"I am fighting alongside the deceased souls of the Xiao family!"

Li Dalong's voice was deep and resonant, with a hint of coldness, like the King of Hell emerging from the underworld. His eyes were filled with satisfaction as a spirit stone floated in the air, recording this moment. "Xiao Huang'er," he declared, "you killed our Li family's loved ones. And now, our Li family has exterminated ten generations of yours."

"You might not know what happened that day, but I can tell you, the Xiao family didn't even know why we stormed their home, why we were so ruthless. Do you know the ancestor of the Xiao family? Oh, right, I looked into it later. It was your second son. Do you know how he questioned me as he watched the Xiao family being destroyed?"

"He said, 'The Xiao family and our family have no feud. Why are we causing such bloodshed?'"

Back when they dealt with the Su family, Li Dalong couldn't even bear to kill children.

Now...

His voice was like that of the most ruthless King of Hell in the underworld. Watching Xiao Huang'er's growing terror and panic, he felt an indescribable satisfaction. "I couldn't answer him then," he said, "perhaps you can give them an explanation. Oh, and our Li family is still quite kind. At least we didn't torture them along the way, didn't brutalize them. They died quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, more and more souls of the Xiao family emerged, surging from the formation towards Xiao Huang'er, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. They were vengeful spirits demanding their lives.

"Why? Why did you kill us?!"

"Help me! You are the ancestor, our ancestor in the Azure Cloud Pavilion! Tell me, why did they kill me? Bring me back to life, ancestor!"

"How did I die? It's so dark here, I'm so scared."

"..."

These demonic voices of the dead, one after another, pierced Xiao Huang'er's ears.

During the slaughter at the Xiao residence, Li Dalong had already used the Heaven-Piercing Coffin technique to capture the souls of the Xiao family members. On that day at the 'Tower,' he only released the souls of others. These... were saved for today!

Xiao Huang'er trembled all over, desperately covering her ears. As she watched the souls of the Xiao family members approaching her, with her second son walking at the forefront, reaching out to her, she finally lost her mind.

"No! It wasn't my fault! Don't come near me!"

Beneath the crazed Xiao Huang'er, a noticeable trail of blood flowed from beside her red shoes, dripping onto the ground.
