Chapter 252 - 252 96 Return to the Mountain with Honors Happy National Day_3

252: Chapter 96: Return to the Mountain with Honors [Happy National Day]_3 252: Chapter 96: Return to the Mountain with Honors [Happy National Day]_3 Elder Tianli spoke calmly:

“Our Human Race’s prosperity was witnessed by them all.

“The protection of the Holy Mother is indeed indispensable, but our Human Race has never begged Her Holiness to exterminate our enemies.

It was the Human Emperor who led our heroes to rise up and attack.

Defeating Emperor Jun, extinguishing Kunpeng, and dividing Chiyou were all his doing.”

“If we don’t fall into chaos here, East Continent won’t either.”

“No need to worry about the Palace of Nuwa either.

When I was returning, I had already gone to report to Emperor Yellow, and His Majesty will visit the Palace of Nuwa to rebuke that Left Chief Aide.”

The crowd nodded in agreement.

“With His Majesty stepping in, the other party should quiet down for some time.”

“Alas, with the Holy Mother’s whereabouts unknown, I fear the world might soon fall into turmoil.”

Elder Tianli said, “There’s another matter.

Does everyone remember the Wanyun Sect of East Continent?”

“Kongming’s Wanyun Sect?

I have some recollection.

Kongming was one I brought up myself, a man of good character with numerous contributions.”

“Tianli, are you referring to that Great Fortune Holder?”

“I’ve heard about it before.

This Great Fortune Holder should achieve something.

It’s possible that our Human Race might have one more figure of note.”

However, Elder Tianli said, “I’m not talking about Li Dazhi.

Within the Wanyun Sect, there’s a disciple named Li Ping’an, the son of Li Dazhi.

This person…

can be greatly utilized.

His character is top-notch, his comprehension unmatched, and he’s skilled in strategy.

In this matter of the Western Continent, his contribution was the greatest.”

“Oh?

Li Ping’an?

That’s an interesting name.”

“This is the first time you’ve praised someone like this, Tianli.”

A new voice joined the ‘group chat’: “The son of Great Wealth Immortal who has a great understanding of the verge of immortality?

It’s said that Xu Sheng was enlightened by him, finally stepping into the Golden Immortal Realm.”

“That enlightenment is just a baseless rumor,” Elder Tianli said.

“What I value is the ability of Li Ping’an himself.

This fellow also has another identity, the official disciple of the precursor Yun Zhongzi.”

“Ah?”

“Yun Zhongzi took a disciple?”

“There’s such a thing?”

Elder Tianli sighed, “Linghua said he passed on the lineage to Li Ping’an, but don’t forget, the Wanyun Sect itself follows the Great Dao of Clouds.

Kongming’s cultivation techniques were ones that Yun Zhongzi casually imparted to him from a scripture when preaching about the Great Dao of Artifact Refining at our Human Race’s residence.”

The leading figures of the East Alliance each lamented:

“Looking at it this way, this Li Ping’an is indeed impressive.”

“To be regarded by precursor Yun Zhongzi, there must be something extraordinary about him.”

“The East Alliance needs such talent.”

Elder Tianli said, “Alliance Hierarch, why don’t you make an announcement to appoint Li Ping’an as an Inspection Envoy?

It’s best for us to make our move first, lest the Palace of Nuwa snatch him away from us later.”

“Fine, stop calling me Alliance Hierarch.

You guys set me up for this!”

“Who asked you to reach Taiyi?

The rest of us are still stuck at the bottleneck!”

“What rank should we give?”

“Fourth rank?

Too high isn’t good as it may lead to accusations of favoritism, but too low doesn’t look well either.

Fourth rank Inspection Envoy can execute first and report later to sovereign immortals within the Human Race territory.

That’s about right.”

“Alright, then let it be a third rank Inspection Envoy.

Where will the inspection area be?”

“The lands of the Human Race need no set area,” Elder Tianli laughed, “There’s something I’ve promised Linghua, my niece-in-discipline, that I can’t tell you.

You have to trust me; that fellow Ping’an can definitely handle major affairs.”

“What’s it about?”

“Why all this secrecy?

If you won’t tell, I’ll go ask Linghua myself!”

“Alas, Linghua naturally possesses beauty and talent, she’s fierce in Magical Combat and has a good temperament, yet she’s taken a fancy to Kongming, that softie!”

“Don’t be disrespectful to your elders!”

Elder Tianli sighed, still forcibly suppressing his own urge to divulge.

Li Ping’an’s refusal of Heavenly Dao certainly should not be made public.

Doesn’t the Heavenly Dao care about its reputation?

“Let’s settle it then.

I also need to appoint a fifth rank Combat Envoy—I won’t discuss this minor issue with you any further.”

Elder Tianli took out a Jade Talisman, inscribed a few lines of words, and threw it outside the hall.

Done.

…

Within the Wanyun Sect, inside the cave dwelling at Unnamed Peak.

Unaware of his upcoming impact on the entire Wanyun Sect, Li Ping’an sat at the table with Ningning Mu, smiling as they watched a few old Daoists play a drinking game.

“Senior brother,” Ningning Mu asked in a whisper, “will you drink like this when you’re older?”

“I am not fond of what’s in the cup.”

Li Ping’an casually flipped his hand and, like magic, produced a chess set.

Ningning Mu’s interest was piqued, and she began to play chess with her senior brother beneath the table.

This was just the time:

To slay demons and sever human sacrifices in the Western Continent, upon successful return, one finds a moment’s leisure on the mountain.

An appointment from the East Alliance falls upon one’s head, celebrated as a Great Enlightened, distinguished among the ancients Immortals.
