Chapter 341: Chapter 241: Household Department Minister Di Lishi Arrives!

"If he says to my face that it was I who killed him, then I’ll commit suicide on the spot!"

"If he says it wasn’t me who killed him, hmph, let’s just end this matter here!"

"You!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other leaders from the Taoist sects knew that they were no match for the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, and it was impossible for them to snatch the living dead Pei Yuanjing from the hands of the Undying Immortal Kumarajiva.

It was also impossible for the living dead Pei Yuanjing to tell the truth, so Li Ping’an’s rebuttal was impeccable!

Thus, they were momentarily at a loss for words!

"Hahahaha!"

Li Ping’an mocked arrogantly:

"Stunned, huh? Compete with me? Hmph!"

Li Ping’an glanced disdainfully at Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, and Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other Taoist leaders, then turned his head sideways to look at the Ghost Taoist beside him.

"To be honest with you, I originally didn’t want to participate in any damn Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master, just thinking about simply fighting and conceding. If it wasn’t for you and King Tianran pushing me, I would have conceded long ago!"

"But now I’ve decided to win this Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master for Mount Longhu!"

"I knew it already!"

The Ghost Taoist, seeing that Li Ping’an was actually willing to tell him the truth, was somewhat surprised, but curious beyond his surprise:

"But I am curious why you suddenly decided to actively strive for the final victory for Mount Longhu?"

Li Ping’an, looking disdainfully at Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen, Heavenly Mist Sect Leader Mo Liqi, Senior Brother Taishi Bao of Qingyun Sect, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, Kunlun’s Three Sages He Zudao, Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, and other leading Taoists, said:

"Because they are annoyed by me!"

"So, I am annoyed by them too!"

"To annoy them, I must spoil their plans today!"

"All right!"

The Ghost Taoist looked at Li Ping’an approvingly and nodded:

"Just go ahead and do it, I support you no matter what!"

"Li Ping’an!"

The shout of Flame Cloud Sect’s Master Zhuge Junchen once again reached Li Ping’an’s ears, making him very annoyed:

"What now? Hurrying me to death! Are you ever going to stop?"

"I tell you! If you were polite, I would definitely comply with your wishes!"

"But the more you act like this, the more I will oppose you, completely oppose you!"

"Do you have any nonsense to spout now?"

"Li Ping’an, watch your words! This matter with our Flame Cloud Sect isn’t over for you!"

Senior Brother Jiao Chujun of the Flame Cloud Sect stepped forward and scolded Li Ping’an.

"Li Ping’an! Consider yourself smart, consider yourself lucky!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect said annoyed,

"We can talk about Pei Yuanjing’s matter later, but you must return the Immortal Slaying Sword to our Flame Cloud Sect now!"

"Otherwise, you’re not qualified to participate in the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master!"

"Impossible!"

Li Ping’an spoke with even more resolve,

"Zhuge Junchen, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what Pei Yuanjing just said about our contest? The loser hands over the Immortal Slaying Sword to the winner!"

"Everything Pei Yuanjing said was a lie!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect immediately shouted.

"Then call Pei Yuanjing over to say it!"

Li Ping’an played the scoundrel once more,

"As long as Pei Yuan says that I snatched the Immortal Slaying Sword from his hands, I’ll return it to you immediately!"

"Otherwise, just shut your mouth!"

"Ah! Li Ping’an! You scoundrel! Hoodlum! Scum!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was driven mad by Li Ping’an’s unruly actions and publicly hurled insults at him.

"To hell with you!"

Angered, Li Ping’an slammed the table and retorted while pointing at Sect Master Zhuge Junchen,

"You old fool! Can’t you just stop? Just because you’ve lived a few years longer than me, you think you can insult people freely?"

"Don’t forget, those extra decades you have before me just mean you’ll die decades before me! Hahahaha!"

"Li Ping’an! You beast, you’re killing me!"

Indeed, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was infuriated by Li Ping’an and ended up publicly exchanging insults with him, lacking the poise of a generation’s grandmaster, looking more like a fishwife or a shrew in the street.

Head of Heavenly Mist Sect, Mo Liqi, Senior Brother of Qingyun Sect, Taishi Bao, Head of Yanyue Sect, Xianyu Zixuan, Hehuan Sect’s Sect Leader Shangguan Hongzhang, one of Kunlun’s Three Sages, He Zudao, and Sixth Senior Brother Dan Chenzi of Mount Shu, some of the prominent figures in the Taoist sect, tried to intervene upon hearing their excessively harsh exchanges.

"Hahahaha!"

Meanwhile, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Immeasurable Sect quietly enjoyed the spectacle.

"You know, Sect Master Zhuge, Li Ping’an used to be a bandit; his mouth is indeed filthy. Why provoke him?"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, shook his head and laughed helplessly.

"Li Ping’an, that’s more like you."

Zixia covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

As the quarrel escalated, the faces of Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect and Li Ping’an turned red with fury, as they almost came to blows.

But as fierce as the quarrel was, Li Ping’an was cunning. During the quarrel, he occasionally glanced at The World’s Foremost Talented King, Tianran, who was meditating and recuperating, hoping King Tianran would speak up for him.

But King Tianran, the World’s Foremost Talented, was too exhausted. Earlier, he had used too much mana and energy fighting against Undying Immortal Kumarajiva, and now he simply wanted to rest quietly, especially since he still had to go to the Music Bureau to enjoy some flower wine later.
