249: Chapter 95: The Deputy Alliance Leader Cuts Down a Heavenly Immortal with Tears_3 249: Chapter 95: The Deputy Alliance Leader Cuts Down a Heavenly Immortal with Tears_3 Tianli, the old man, gasped sharply and raised his sword to look at the old Heavenly Immortal, his voice trembling, “Do you, do you still plead for mercy?”

“General!”

The old Heavenly Immortal, enduring the intense pain in his sunken chest, knelt before Tianli once more.

“I do not beg for mercy!

I only ask that the General stop this with me!

The palace of Nuwa has commanded, how could my leader possibly…”

“Foolish!

You!

You are foolish!”

Tianli, the old man, sighed deeply, but the last two words were swallowed.

The long sword flashed suddenly.

“Martial Uncle!”

Linghua, the old woman, cried out to stop him, but it was a moment too late.

The old Heavenly Immortal’s forehead to neck was split by a line of blood, his body slowly fell forward, and a tiny Primordial Spirit shadow flew from his forehead, which Tianli, the old man, captured into his sleeve for later interrogation.

Tianli waved his hand casually, and the pair of Heavenly Immortals turned into two bursts of blood, dead and their path extinguished.

Having done these things, Tianli’s tall figure stooped slightly.

He carried his sword slowly back to his seat, inserted the long sword into the ground, and stared slightly into space beyond the door.

Heavenly Immortal Wen Rou sighed softly, walked behind her father, and gently held her father’s shoulders, saying in a low voice, “Father, be no longer angry.”

“I am fine, Wen Rou.

Fetch my command and have the Hall of Extinguishing Immortals immediately send a few experts to secretly investigate this matter thoroughly,” the old man ordered.

Tianli, the old man, narrowed his eyes slightly, then revealed a slight smile and turned to look at Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an’s heart of the dao trembled, feeling a chill at his neck.

This old man kills Heavenly Immortals without blinking an eye, and this Heavenly Immortal was even a veteran from the ancient times…

“Ping’an,”

Li Ping’an adjusted his posture and saluted, “Your commands?”

“I have investigated this person’s Primordial Spirit, and within these 16,000 miles of the boundary, there are roughly twelve cities involved in the trafficking of mortals.”

Tianli, the old man, sighed:

“Although there are people from the palace of Nuwa behind this, rest assured, the number of attending Holy Mothers from the palace of Nuwa who do such things is few; the majority are oppose to human sacrifices and flesh offerings.”

“There’s been a problem on the side of the Eastern Alliance, and this old bone of mine will have to attend to that shortly.”

“But this cancer at the boundary cannot be left unresolved.”

“The matter of human flesh offerings, must only remain known among a few of you.

Next…

Linghua, stop your cultivation for now, follow your favored disciple, and this little Heavenly Immortal.”

The little Heavenly Immortal referred to Qing Su.

Tianli, the old man, continued, “The three of you, along with Wen Rou and her disciple Zisang, will investigate the matter of human sacrifices in this boundary.

If you find one, inform Wen Rou to let the Hall of Extinguishing Immortals address it in secret…

any problems with that?”

Linghua, the old woman, bowed to accept the command, and everyone else saluted respectfully.

Li Ping’an said, “There are two problems.”

Tianli, the old man’s, mouth twitched slightly.

This fellow, his killing aura couldn’t even subdue this youngster?

Li Ping’an said seriously, “The first issue is that an operation cannot commence without proper authorization.”

Tianli, the old man, thought for a moment, then took out a golden square token from his sleeve.

The front had the words “Eastern Alliance” and the back “Tianli.”

He took out a piece of Divine Cloth, wrote an appointment decree on it, and threw both the cloth and the token to Li Ping’an.

The elder Tianli said, “From this moment on, you are the secret envoy of the East Alliance, temporarily leading a seventh-grade command.

You may report directly to me regarding anything.

Is that sufficient?”

“It is sufficient.”

Li Ping’an nodded, then said, “The second issue is the tranquility of the borders and the abundance of demon tribes involved in human sacrifices.

The few of us are afraid that we won’t be able to investigate thoroughly.”

“That is even simpler.

One year from now, there will be a large-scale military campaign along the borders.

I will send a hundred thousand celestial soldiers over, and we shall push the land of our Human Race five hundred miles northward and westward.”

Elder Tianli said:

“This military campaign is solely to cooperate with your investigation into the human sacrifice issue.

Anyone involved with human sacrifices, be they demons or humans, must be executed without exception!”

“Li Ping’an, you must always remember.”

“Our Human Race did not reach the state it is in today by compromising with the Demon Race, by currying favor on all sides, or by flattery and fawning!”

“Can the prosperous era founded by the blood of our ancestors be allowed to be sullied by these base and trivial matters!”

“Matters above the level of Golden Immortal will be dealt with by me, and matters below that, you all are to investigate for me!”

“Currently, there are significant issues in the Southern Continent, and this involves internal strife within the Nuwa Palace.

You better not inquire further.”

“However, human sacrifices must never occur outside the Southern Continent!”

The crowd bowed and accepted the command with a thundering affirmation.

“Yes!”

Li Ping’an exchanged glances with his master Qing Su, who blinked as if to ask what was wrong with him.

Li Ping’an smiled without saying a word, sighing in his heart.

In his opinion, this role of the secret envoy of the East Alliance should have been given to his own master.

His cultivation was too shallow due to the short time he had been cultivating, and he was far from qualified…

But since he would be acting jointly with his master day and night, there was no need to worry.

…

One year later, in the southeastern part of the Western Continent, the East Alliance launched a large-scale military campaign, deploying a hundred thousand celestial soldiers to subdue the Demon Race.

Two years later, the Demon Race suffered defeat and retreated several hundred miles, and the borders of the Human Race’s land were once again pushed northward.

There were some personnel changes within the East Alliance.

The six Golden Immortals who had been stationed in the southeastern region of the Western Continent were called back to the East Continent to handle clerical duties.

Eight new Golden Immortals were sent to the southeastern region of the Western Continent to consolidate the Human Race’s territorial holdings.

The conflict was relatively short-lived, and the results were not very significant; it merely pushed the Human Race’s territorial boundaries forward by several hundred miles.

It was not considered a major event.

However, a large number of sects and Loose Cultivators from the East Continent responded to the call of the East Alliance and hastened toward the southeastern region of the Western Continent to contribute their strength to the Human Race.

At the various borders of the East Continent, the Demon Race began to stir once again, causing disturbances.

This was just a few powerful demons venting their frustration, pressuring the Human Race to alleviate the tremendous pressure in the southeastern part of the Western Continent.

As more and more Qi Cultivators from the East Continent turned their attention to this southeastern region of the Western Continent, hoping to make their mark, earn fame, and be recognized between heaven and earth.

Qing Su and his disciple Li Ping’an, having completed their mission, said farewell to Wen Rou and her disciple Zisang, and set off on the road back to the Wanyun Sect.

Another half month passed.

Li Ping’an, hidden in the thin cloud sleeves of his master, caught sight of the entrance to the Wanyun Sect from afar and let out a long sigh of relief.

Having been out on a training journey for three years, he had reached the level of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, resolved the issue of human sacrifices in the southeastern region of the Western Continent, made a bit of merit, and accumulated a fair amount of treasure.

The gains were quite substantial.

The key point was, upon careful consideration, Li Ping’an realized he had not paid any price.

Pure profit!

However, at this moment inside Castcloud Hall…
