Chapter 1291: Chapter 462: The Fall of the Right Attendant Chief

“Greetings, my friend. It’s been a long time.”

The Left Servant Leader listened to the familiar voice, looking at the old woman before her, who had been her adversary for countless years, and finally ended up entangling herself. Her eyes were filled with feelings.

The one residing here obviously was the Heavenly Palace’s Da Luo, the Right Servant Leader.

The Left Servant Leader did not move too close, maintaining adequate vigilance herself.

After all, rumors about the Right Servant Leader colluding with Calamity and the evil demons were rife inside and outside the Holy Mother Palace.

The Left Servant Leader frowned and said, “A single misstep leads to all subsequent mistakes; you attacked the most promising young human, and yet you secretly conspired with external enemies, trampling upon the dignity of our Holy Mother Palace. My friend, have you considered how to explain it to the Holy Mother?”

The Right Servant Leader sighed and said, “It’s merely the saying of winners as kings, losers as bandits. I have my own difficulties.”

“And your difficulty is about not wanting Ping’an to ascend the throne of Heavenly Emperor?”

The Left Servant Leader let out a cold laugh:

“If that’s the case, my friend, your selfishness is excessive.”

“I clearly remember, before you and the other human women entered the Holy Mother Palace, all had to vow to the Holy Mother to relinquish all obsessions, to seek longevity within the palace, and to serve the Holy Mother.”

“Never did I think, my friend, that your heart still harbored ambitions for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.”

The Right Servant Leader could only respond with a rueful smile.

She murmured, “Disciple, nephew, how can one sever their own connections? In the end, even if one manages to become Da Luo, still one is trapped by the ties of the mundane world.”

“Easy to say!”

The Left Servant Leader grasped a trident in her hand, angrily speaking:

“Not to mention, in the Holy Mother Palace you have surpassed me in prestige, all thanks to the favor of the Heavenly Emperor!”

“Who would have thought you would conspire to assassinate the Human Race’s Heavenly Emperor?”

“Today, I will cleanse the ranks for the Holy Mother Palace!”

“Friend, you are no match for me. If you fight, I’ll simply flee.”

The Right Servant Leader slightly shook her head:

“I appeared to invite you for a discussion, merely to inquire whether the Human Race currently faces any threats? Is the Human Emperor suppressed by the Heavenly Court’s Emperor? Is the Holy Mother Palace peaceful?”

The Left Servant Leader frowned and said, “Lin Rou, don’t you think you’re being hypocritical?”

The Right Servant Leader was slightly taken aback.

“Lin Rou, what qualifications do you have to ask these things!”

The Left Servant Leader swiftly criticized:

“Back then you allied with Calamity and others to assassinate Li Ping’an, claiming nobly that the Heavenly Emperor could only be Xuanyuan Huangdi, stating the throne rightly belonged to the Human Emperor.”

“But what were your true intentions?”

“Was it not to preserve the power of your disciples, your nephews? You clung to Xuanyuan Huangdi, even when he clearly did not want to be the Heavenly Emperor, you forcibly pushed him up—thus you called loyalty and righteousness?”

“Hypocrisy to the extreme!”

“If you claim the Heavenly Emperor lacks virtue, I might even respect you a bit.”

The Left Servant Leader snorted, turning away, her voice still echoed beside the Right Servant Leader:

“If you have sense, find a quiet corner to hide, await the Holy Mother’s return to the palace, she might spare your life considering your past hardships.”

“If you continue to challenge the Heavenly Emperor, I’ll lead the entirety of the Holy Mother Palace against you in a fight to the death brimming with wrath!”

“Friend, we’ve worked together for innumerable eras; we should cherish the bond. Do take care.”

Once the voice of the Left Servant Leader faded, the Right Servant Leader gently sighed and her form vanished into thin air.

Moments afterward.

Warned by the Left Servant Leader, Li Ping’an and Xuanyuan Huangdi arrived there, inspecting the cottage thoroughly.

“Gone.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi shook his head with a rueful smile:

“What nonsense, now I have to capture the human elders trying to raise me as Heavenly Emperor.”

“Truly incomprehensible, why she’d rather ally with enemies than converse with me.”

“Shouldn’t this matter be questioned to me?”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Your officials are rather self-assured.”

“That’s not how you poke fun,” Xuanyuan Huangdi scolded playfully, “Let’s return. Be cautious; the Right Servant Leader already walks a path of no return.”

“Say, brother.”

Li Ping’an scanned the surroundings, slowly speaking:

“Can the Right Servant Leader hear our conversation?”

“Perhaps,” Xuanyuan Huangdi replied, “She counts as a top master of the Human Race, also a vital ally to the Holy Mother. So, you wish to respond to grievances with virtue, using your magnanimity to change her heart?”

Li Ping’an chuckled, “Responding to grievances with virtue—how then to reward virtue? She wanted to kill me, should I forgive her? Doing so feels pointless in life; ultimately, it remains simply eliminating evil utterly.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed, “Eliminating evil thoroughly indeed resonates like that; if I could be decisive at times, perhaps there’d be fewer regrets.”

“Let’s return; I’ll continue monitoring the Divine Court.”

“Alright,” Xuanyuan Huangdi glanced around once more, gently shook his sleeve, and vanished simultaneously with Li Ping’an.

Rather than leaving immediately, they quietly waited in hiding for half a day.

After confirming the Right Servant Leader wouldn’t reappear, they finally returned to the Imperial Capital of Shang Nation.

Li Ping’an thought of his master and Guiling, deliberately using a costly communication Jade Talisman to alert them, reminding Guiling to guard Qing Su closely as the Right Servant Leader was within the Skycutter Great Array.

Upon receiving the message, Guiling immediately transformed into a palm-sized turtle, refusing to let go of Qing Su’s arm.

Qing Su looked affectionately at the Kingdom below, slightly sighed, and continued using the Jade Talisman to meticulously record information about the borders, population, and history of the Kingdom.

Her disciple’s entrusted duties were performed with utmost detail by her.

After two days.

At the border between the Western and Southern Continents, outside the Skycutter Great Array.

The Right Servant Leader gazed complexly at the array’s luminous wall, appearing somewhat dazed.
