254: Chapter 97: The Eastern Envoy Visits Wanyun【Second Part of Three Updates for Votes】 254: Chapter 97: The Eastern Envoy Visits Wanyun【Second Part of Three Updates for Votes】 ‘This demon is quite cunning, knowing how to keep its head down to stay alive; it should’ve been eliminated early.’

Li Ping’an took out the demon king name list he made for the Western Continent and placed the Great King Kuangshan in the top ten who must be eliminated.

The name list wasn’t for his own use.

It was prepared by Li Ping’an for the Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals of the Eastern Alliance.

Li Ping’an thought that to kill a great demon who dared to call itself “Great King” by his own power, he would at least need to reach the pinnacle of Heavenly Immortal.

Now, he could only rely on the power of the Human Race.

“Ping’an, Little Ancestor, have some fruit!”

Wen Ling’er stepped lightly toward him with a plate of Spirit Fruits in hand, drawing near to Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an smiled as he took the tray and threw two Storage Pouches into her hands.

“I made a small fortune in the Western Continent, so everyone who sees this shares the bounty.”

Wen Ling’er stared intently for a moment, her mouth agape with amazement, “Little Ancestor, did you raid the Demon Race’s treasury?

How come, how come, these are no use to me.”

“Cultivation pays attention to Dharma, companionship, and the land.

Wealth is naturally better the more of it one has.”

Li Ping’an smiled and said,

“If one day you wish to leave, you can use it to buy a small courtyard and have a good retirement.”

“Thank you, Little Ancestor, but I can hardly bear to leave!”

Wen Ling’er leaned against a reclining chair, looking very relaxed.

Li Ping’an picked up a peeled Spirit Fruit, put it in his mouth, and chewed gently as he asked softly, “Has there been any news from Elder Xiaoyue these past few years?”

“Yes, Master sends a letter every month for me to deliver to Dazhi, the Great Ancestor.”

A letter every month?

Li Ping’an’s eyes lit up, as he praised the arrangement inwardly.

During this trip, he had also met a female immortal of a certain age with good looks and personality—the Heavenly Immortal Wen Rou.

However, in her youth, Wen Rou had a childhood sweetheart, and they had promised to marry and become Daoist companions before he went to battle with the Demon Race and never returned.

Since then, Wen Rou had cultivated alone for more than ten thousand years.

Over ten thousand years, any feelings would have faded, and Wen Rou seemed to be considering finding a partner.

Of course, in Li Ping’an’s heart, the most suitable candidate for a virtuous stepmother was still Elder Xiaoyue.

“What did those letters say?”

“How would I dare to read them,” Wen Ling’er laughed, then couldn’t help but sigh, “Recently, Master has really run into some troubles on that side.”

Li Ping’an frowned and asked, “What kind of trouble?”

“Our Wanyun Sect’s shops have been regularly harassed by troublemakers who smash and stir up trouble for about the last half year, including many activities of demon cultivators and evil cultivators.”

Wen Ling’er spoke anxiously,

“Master has been worrying about this for the past two years.

Our Wanyun Sect has already dispatched additional personnel to stay in various places, but we now have too many shops and somewhat insufficient manpower.

“Everyone originally thought that going to the East Sea market towns or the southern market towns would be a good thing, allowing them to earn much more monthly support.

“But now, such duties are becoming increasingly troublesome, and everyone has started to be reluctant to go.

“Just a few months ago, there was a conflict, and two of our True Immortals and six Yuan Immortals were injured, though thankfully not seriously.”

Li Ping’an nodded slowly, “Is there any idea who is causing the trouble?”

“That annoying Sea Watch Sect, as well as several demonic sects that set their sights on our Wanyun Sect—they say they want to make a fortune with us, but in fact, they’re just reaching for Spirit Stones.”

Wen Ling’er slightly pursed her lips:

“The elders have already reported this to the Eastern Alliance.

“The Eastern Alliance also sent people to investigate, but whenever they come, the troublemakers run away; when they leave, the troublemakers continue their activities, to no effect.

“The Eastern Alliance generally trains celestial soldiers to fight against the Demon Race and doesn’t really get involved in market town affairs.

“In market towns, it’s up to the sects to maintain order themselves, the Eastern Alliance is of little use.”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “I’ve met a few predecessors from the Eastern Alliance before, and they were quite nice, full of passion and breaking their hearts for the prosperity of the Human Race.

The structure of the Eastern Alliance is just a bit loose right now; these systems will gradually improve.”

Wen Ling’er said with a smile, “Little Ancestor, why are you telling me, a little cultivator, all this?

I’m just telling you what I know because you asked.”

“Hmm, go and rest,”

Li Ping’an stretched lazily:

“I have a pretty good impression of the Eastern Alliance, and if I have the chance in the future, I’ll help them to eliminate demons more.

“Later, I’ll write a letter for you to deliver to Elder Xiaoyue.

As a junior, I should also always show respect to my elders.”

Wen Ling’er covered her mouth and chuckled, “I don’t see you paying respects to the other True Immortals in the sect.”

Li Ping’an frowned and glanced at her.

Wen Ling’er quickly bowed and excused herself, turning and walking back to the cave with her small, nimble steps.

Another day of humbly doling out Spirit Stone fortunes!

…

“Sigh.”

The setting sun sank in the west, and the heartbroken ox gazed at the horizon.

Niu Qi, who was nearly the size of an adult, looked at the unfamiliar courtyard before him and couldn’t help sighing.

The three-year time limit had passed!

He really had become an outer disciple!

He had not only become an outer disciple but, to complete the outer disciple experience, had done some life-saving and aid work in the mortal world to help the Human Race, which made Niu Benben quite uncomfortable.

The two races were in conflict!

Although Niu Benben liked eating grass, he was truly a pure, principled king of the Hundred Clans, with his hands fully stained with the blood of Human Race Qi Cultivators!

If the other kings found out he, Great King Kuangshan, had gone to the human world to help people in distress, he would probably be torn to pieces and turned into a beef banquet!

Niu Benben was now in deep doubt.

Why had he come to the Wanyun Sect?

He could not get in touch with the higher-ups of the Wanyun Sect, nor could he reach Wanyun and his son Dazhi, with their great fortune and enlightenment.

The only gain he had in these three years was a piece of hypocritical friendship, with that…
