Chapter 1112: Chapter 388 How Fortunate_3

“It’s not that,” Daoist Mosquito murmured after some thought. “The news of Lady Ba’s impending union with the Heavenly Emperor has been circulating for a while now. Some years ago, Li Ping’an would send gifts to Lady Ba every month from the Misty Realm. Everyone in the secret realm of Xuanyuan Palace was aware, and there was quite a bit of teasing about it back then.”

The Right Servant Leader immediately found themselves at a loss for words.

Calamity Venerable chuckled and said, “Mosquito, go stand guard outside.”

“As you command.”

Daoist Mosquito turned and flew out of the barrier, landing lightly on a tree branch as he vigilantly scanned the surroundings.

Immortal Huanglong covertly wiped the sweat from his brow, his heart brimming with confusion.

Was this Calamity Venerable trying to recruit the Right Servant Leader?

The Right Servant Leader was indeed a formidable warrior…

Then they heard Calamity Venerable sigh softly and say, “Right Servant Leader, how much longer are you going to make us wait?”

The Right Servant Leader replied, “Venerable, though I have done wrong and been cast aside by His Majesty, I remain loyal to the Human Race and truly do not wish to ally with you and continue opposing my own kind.”

“I have made my reasoning clear to you.”

Calamity Venerable replied helplessly, “You see, the Heavenly Court is steadily gaining power, setting out to establish order and protect all living beings. Perhaps you think the Heavenly Court stands for justice. But have you considered what this world will become once the Heavenly Court dominates?”

“In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, the strong are inherently guilty, for they absorb too much of the world’s Spiritual Power and claim dominion over the Great Dao.

“But is simply being strong truly a sin?

“Under the workings of the Heavenly Dao, everything moves in favor of the Heavenly Court. Can that be without fault?

“Do not forget how terrifying the changes were within the inner workings of the Heavenly Dao. And the chance of such upheaval occurring in the outer Heavenly Dao is far from negligible.

“Moreover, why exactly did Fenghou die? Can we truly say there’s no mystery in her death? Is it truly unrelated to the Heavenly Dao’s schemes, attempting to use Fenghou to patch the weaknesses of the Heavenly Court?”

The Right Servant Leader fell silent.

Calamity Venerable gazed at the Right Servant Leader and said gently, “If you still need time to consider, then take it. But I cannot idle here any longer, lest that big rat from the Jie Sect sniff me out and come looking.”

The Right Servant Leader sighed, “The beheading of ministers… His Majesty truly shows no fear of chilling the hearts of us old loyalists…”

Calamity Venerable smiled faintly and rose to leave.

The Right Servant Leader suddenly said, “I will go with you, Venerable. But I ask one thing: do not make me act against the Human Race. My target will be solely Li Ping’an.”

“Please.”

Calamity Venerable raised his hand in a welcoming gesture and said brightly, “Rest assured, my friend. My dream is to create a world free of the interference of the Heavenly Dao.

“Observe patiently. As soon as the Heavenly Dao completely overtakes living beings, it will sever their path to everlasting life.

“You and I are fighting the Heavenly Dao for the future of all life. History will judge the rights and wrongs of our actions.”

The Right Servant Leader’s eyes revealed a flicker of emotion.

Immortal Huanglong’s lips twitched slightly as he crouched quietly in the corner, too scared to move.

Only after the three powerful presences had departed for the Southern Sea did Immortal Huanglong rise, spit on the ground, and rapidly vanish from sight.

Above the Southern Sea, at the edge of the world.

Calamity Venerable clicked his tongue softly, while beside him, the ‘Right Servant Leader’ shimmered with immortal light, transforming back into the form of the Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada.

“Venerable, will this approach work?”

“Whether it will or not, we’ll find out soon enough,” Calamity Venerable said calmly. “For now, recruiting one skilled individual is better than none. If we didn’t back the Right Servant Leader into a corner, how could she have been pushed to seek us out?”

Daoist Mosquito asked, “Venerable, where will we go next?”

“Beyond the heavens. There are few places left in the main world where we can act freely.”

Calamity Venerable sighed deeply.

“Minghe, that old ancestor, truly useless. He let Li Ping’an take the Yuan Tu Sword and didn’t even have the courage to fight him to the death.

“It’s a pity, really. In the end, we still failed to kill Xuanyuan Huangdi.

“We’re now at a disadvantage. Every step moving forward must be carefully calculated. In the next thousand years, we must preserve as many smaller realms as possible and await the return of the two masters.”

The Six-Winged Heavenly Cicada asked, “Venerable, do you bear personal grudges against Xuanyuan Huangdi?”

“He’s merely an old rival. I hold no personal resentment, but his three thousand concubines are rather irksome.”

Calamity Venerable snapped his fingers.

“Let’s go. We’ll challenge the Heavenly Dao once again. If I fail, you may all disband and go your separate ways.”

The two insects dared not respond.

Half a month later.

A white cloud departed from the headquarters of the Eastern Alliance, carrying several dozen Heavenly Fury Guards with imposing auras.

At the center of the cloud, Li Ping’an, sitting cross-legged, stretched lazily. Aside from some soreness in his back and legs, he was otherwise fine.

He charted a course to Dong’an, intending to seek out the ambitious Heavenly Court youth Roc Bird. Meanwhile, he began pondering how to explain matters regarding Lady Ba to Ningning, and fretted over whether the Jade Pool might follow Lady Ba’s example and resort to coercion.

Once this precedent is set, dealing with it all later will be a mess.

As soon as Li Ping’an arrived at Dong’an City, a Qingluan Bird appeared on the horizon, flying straight towards the heavens above the celestial ruins.
