1008: Chapter 351: How Could the Jade Pool Be Jealous?

Strange, what exactly went wrong?

Li Ping’an looked at the divine general who had put on a breastplate and a battle skirt but not the inner garment, thus appearing even more enchanting, and couldn’t help but have his gaze drawn to a certain captivating area before he hurriedly shifted his eyes and refocused on steering the clouds.

Guilingling, hiding in his sleeve, also curiously gazed at Lady Ba beside them.

This female general felt different to Guilingling than the fairies Li Ping’an had previously encountered.

She was like a flame, capable of igniting others, very influential.

However, the wise Guilingling chose to hibernate in Li Ping’an’s sleeve at this moment; she didn’t want to be involved in these frivolous affairs.

‘Humans fail to see the true nature of beings.’

Guilingling thought to herself, somewhat disdainfully.

The atmosphere above the clouds was indeed a bit awkward.

Immortal Huanglong had already returned to Jade Void Palace ahead of time, to relay the situation to his master Guang Chengzi, to avoid embarrassment for both sides in case the talk later fell through.

Li Ping’an had wanted to call for his master, but the master had already gone to tidy up the battlefield.

Probably eyeing the meat of some rare demon beasts.

So now, Li Ping’an could only strike up a conversation with the divine general beside him, dressed like the ‘Desolate Era version of Wonder Woman.’

“Why would Minister Feng directly suggest a war by demonizing immortals?”

Lady Ba smiled faintly and whispered:

“You still don’t quite understand them.”

“Every proposal put forward by Minister Feng can be seen as my father’s Emperor Jun idea.”

“Generally, if an initiative is proposed by Emperor Jun, his officials can only think about how to execute it, but if Minister Feng proposes it, everyone can consider whether it is feasible and provide different suggestions.”

“What looks like a proposal from Minister Feng today, that only Golden Immortals are to demonize and massacre the Hundred Clans and cleanse the Western Continent, is actually Emperor Jun’s will.”

“This is their tacit understanding between the monarch and his minister.”

Li Ping’an was profoundly shocked: “Is Elder Brother Xuanyuan really going to massacre the Western Continent?”

“What else?”

Lady Ba gazed at the northern sky, her eyes growing deeper:

“Better a short pain than a long one.

If there’s no way for the Hundred Clans and the Human Race to coexist, then one side must completely overwhelm the other.”

“Now, the two forces opposing the Human Race just happen to have joined forces.

The Human Race lost slightly in both major battles, and all the Golden Immortal patrons in the clan are ready for demonization.”

“As long as there’s a way to keep them within this world, they could be utterly defeated in one fell swoop.”

“If I’m not mistaken, the Human Race can sacrifice more than half of the Golden Immortals, over sixty percent of the Heavenly Immortals, and the Heavenly Soldiers.”

Li Ping’an suddenly fell silent.

The scene depicted by Lady Ba’s words made him rather reluctant to face directly.

“Has the situation reached this point already?”

“In their view, Emperor Jun’s, it’s a rare opportunity.”

Lady Ba stood with her hands behind her, her sensuous and mature figure, and the fragrance of oranges wafting from her hair, exuding an allure that could drive any man wild.

She asked, “Is there another way now?”

“There is,” Li Ping’an said, “ask the Chan Teaching to intervene.”

“Aren’t you on good terms with the Jie Sect?”

“I’m not particularly close to anyone,” Li Ping’an said, “the Jie Sect is more efficient in their actions, while the Chan Teaching plans too much, often only differing in interests.”

Lady Ba nodded slightly, her eyes carrying a touch of contemplation.

She spoke softly, “I hope we can reach a satisfactory outcome this time, but I always feel like something is happening.”

“What do you mean?” Li Ping’an didn’t understand.

Lady Ba hummed softly: “Why would the Old Ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court suddenly gather?

If Daoist Lu Ya had such influence, why would he tolerate the Western Sect consolidating the remnants of the Hundred Clans at the end of the ancient era?”

“What do you think then?”

“Hmm?” Her eyes shimmered with brightness, awaiting Li Ping’an to expound his thoughts.

Li Ping’an spoke slowly:

“There is an added pressure in the world now, from the New Heavenly Court.”

“It might be because Heavenly Dao has been plotting from the start, the New Heavenly Court always hits the Western Sect’s vulnerable spots.

The Western Sect’s ten thousand years of planning for the three thousand small worlds have become wedding gowns for the Heavenly Court.”

“If the Western Sect does nothing, I need only six or seven hundred years to thoroughly conquer their outer realms.”

“Now the only thing stopping me from expanding is one factor.”

Lady Ba asked, “What’s that?”

Li Ping’an spread his hands, jokingly: “The moral line I can’t cross.”

With a ‘tsk,’ Lady Ba failed to hold back her laughter, like a field of flowers blooming.

She looked at Li Ping’an strangely: “Why would you say that?”

“I set a rule for the Heavenly Court: wherever we conquer, we protect the mortals of that place.”

Li Ping’an sighed softly:

“I’ve thought about it, to ignore these mortals, so I wouldn’t have any problems, wouldn’t carry any karmic obstacles, nor bear any consequences.”

“In that case, I could sweep through the Three Thousand Worlds in a few years, accumulating incense and merit from all quarters, capturing those Dao Soldiers to transform them into Heavenly Soldiers for the Heavenly Court.”

“Alas…

it’s difficult to get over this emotional hurdle.”

“So sometimes I wonder, I’m not as ruthless as the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun, not as decisive as Elder Brother Xuanyuan; can I really be a good Heavenly Emperor.”

Lady Ba’s gaze softened a lot.

She took the initiative to raise her hand and naturally patted Li Ping’an’s arm, whispering:

“Don’t overthink it; you’re actually doing very well.”

Listening to these words, Li Ping’an pondered carefully, feeling something was amiss.

Lady Ba said warmly: “Since the Desolate Era, the ruthless have always prevailed; good people often come to bad ends, but the new order you want to establish is to protect the good and eradicate the evil.”

“Well, I understand the principle.”

Li Ping’an frowned and said:
