Li Ping’an’s lips revealed a faint smile, as if he were pouring out his heart to an old friend.

Behind him, the green cloud surged like a tidal wave, quickly expanding as if to spread a layer of mist between heaven and earth.

The Golden Cloud retreated upward, its shining golden light no longer able to penetrate even half an inch through the green cloud!

Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit seemed to emerge from atop the green cloud and then stepped forward, returning to his Dao Body.

He opened his eyes as the green cloud rose with the wind, and the ball of Golden Cloud faded in and out of sight.

This was the scene when Li Ping’an woke up.

The eyes of the two Golden Immortals shone with amazement.

“Ping’an,” Elder Linghua exclaimed joyfully, “just now you…”

Tianli, the old man, promptly restrained Elder Linghua’s arm and squinted at Li Ping’an before suddenly shouting loudly:

“Good!”

Li Ping’an was startled and shuddered all over.

What’s happening?

“Wahahahahaha!”

Tianli, the old man, walked up to Li Ping’an, withdrew his strength and slapped him on the shoulder, nearly disassembling Li Ping’an with the blow.

“Descendants of the Human Race should be like this!

From now on, in the Eastern Alliance, I’ve got your back!”

The silent Artifact Spirit of the All-Heaven Diagram nearby, smiled and respectfully clasped its hands together.

Helplessly, Tianli said, “Yes, yes, I know Yun Zhongzi is very powerful, but Yun Zhongzi doesn’t usually care about the East Continent.

Ping’an has been cultivating in the East Continent all along.

Our Human Race’s affairs aren’t your business, so mind your own!”

Li Ping’an smiled and put away the Heavenly Diagram, his heart still harbored doubts, but he had mostly understood.

His conversation with the Heavenly Dao could not be hidden from the two Golden Immortal elders before him.

He chose to persist in following his own Great Dao and did not submit to the Heavenly Dao, betting correctly in the process.

In fact, Li Ping’an wasn’t entirely sure whether that ball of light was truly a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao or not.

But when it comes to the Dao heart, there are no trifles.

In cases of uncertainty, treat them all as Heart Demons, and that phrase ‘tomorrow to preside over the Heavenly Punishment’ was just too vague.

There is no such thing as a free feast in the world of immortals.

Li Ping’an, when younger, had suffered a few times for being ‘too naive.’ Now, he had come to not quite believe that anyone, other than his own father, would offer something to him unconditionally without expecting something in return.

Immortal cultivation is about understanding the natural laws, not cultivating the Heavenly Dao.

Li Ping’an did not ask further about cultivation matters but instead reflected for a moment, bringing the topic back to the main issue.

“Elder, your disciple has just made a breakthrough by chance and delayed for half an hour…

let’s return to this current matter of the human sacrifice, what is your stance, elder?”

“Outside of the Southern Continent, it is the shared domain of our Human Race’s Qi Cultivators and mortals.”

Tianli, the old man, resumed his seat as the host and said:

“Ping’an, what you have said earlier is still half conjecture.

First, we need to procure some testimonies.”

“You go!

Take my blade!”

Tianli drew a blood-red long blade from his sleeve, the rich scent of blood nearly overwhelming Li Ping’an’s Dao heart.

Li Ping’an felt the spiritual pressure of the blade and took the sinister blade with both hands.

Tianli instructed, “This blade can behead a Heavenly Immortal.

I give you an hour to uncover everyone related to this human sacrifice matter in Yongchu City, come back and there will be a reward.”

“Yes!”

Li Ping’an bowed to accept the command, holding the long blade in both hands, and turned to leave the house.

A moment later.

A True Immortal surnamed Ge was thrown into the room, slumping down before the two Golden Immortals, confessing how they trafficked human sacrifices.

Just as Li Ping’an had speculated before—

They colluded with the Demon Race, selecting a village every few years, creating conditions for the Demon Race to raid that village, capturing ten to twenty percent of the population to use as human sacrifices.

Another moment passed.

The city lord of Yongchu City, an old seventh-grade Heavenly Immortal of the Dao Realm, was brought into the room by Wen Rou and Qing Su, two Heavenly Immortals; the other three Heavenly Immortals had also woken up and stood outside the door, not daring to make a sound.

The old Heavenly Immortal sighed and merely kowtowed in front of Tianli, his voice trembling with a sob.

This man only said that he too had received secret orders from his superiors, selecting three to five Immortals in this place to carry out these acts of human sacrifice.

Tianli asked, “How long has this been going on, and how many mortals have been taken in total?”

The old Heavenly Immortal lay prostrate without a word.

Tianli sighed, gestured with his hand, and the long blade Li Ping’an was holding returned to his own hand.

Tianli murmured softly:

“This blade is named Battle Heaven Blade – Wu.

Do you know why it bears this name?

“Because, among those forged at the same time, there were twelve supreme Immortal Treasures!

The other eleven blades either broke or cracked!

Back then, I had eleven brothers in life and death, and only I survived!

“Do you know!

“How many of our fellow Daoists have died so the Demon Race wouldn’t bully our mortals, how many creatures have been buried!

“And now what?

“It hasn’t been that long since our Human Race earned this land!

Has it been that long?

Do they really think that the masters of the Hundred Clans are all dead?

That the Human Race’s dominion is already secure?

“Speak up!”

Tianli bellowed, suddenly stood up and kicked forward, sending the old Heavenly Immortal slamming heavily into a layer of golden light barrier, and he sprawled on the ground once more.

“You don’t speak, do you think I don’t know who the Golden Immortal behind you is!

“You have also survived from 60,000 years ago!

The Golden Immortal behind you was someone I led back in the day!

“How many mortals have you harmed with this affair!

Thirty thousand, is there thirty thousand?”

The old Heavenly Immortal closed his eyes without speaking, fresh blood seeping from his mouth as tears slid down continuously.

“This affair was my doing alone…

this affair…”

Tianli thundered, “Fifty thousand!

Is there fifty thousand?”

The True Immortal named Ge spoke with a trembling voice, “Please have mercy!

I have the tallies here; I have the tallies.

There were one hundred and twenty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-five people!”

“Go to hell!”

Tianli swung the long blade violently in his hand.

The terrified expression of the True Immortal named Ge froze on his face as his head flew high into the air.

Li Ping’an instinctively stepped back half a step to avoid getting splashed with blood.
