Immortal Father
Chapter 271 - 271 103 Insulting the Crowd with One

271: Chapter 103: Insulting the Crowd with One 271: Chapter 103: Insulting the Crowd with One When Li Dazhi led the immortals of the Wanyun Sect to the Sea Watch Sect, Li Ping’an had actually already arrived, but he was hiding in secret and had not shown himself.

The capture operation in the depths of the East Sea was going smoothly.

The demon cultivators from Happy Valley were naturally skilled in concealment and gathering intelligence.

Posing as Mo Wentian, Xuntian Xu, accompanied by more than a dozen elite scouts from Happy Valley, had previously locked down the hiding place of Dulong Sha and his subordinates.

After making contact with Xuntian Xu, Li Ping’an secretly observed several small details.

First, those dozen-plus elite members from Happy Valley were all disguised as slim women wearing close-fitting soft armor, highly proficient in stealth, with cultivation levels mostly ranging from third-rank Primordial Immortal to sixth-rank True Immortal.

Li Ping’an secretly watched two of them, discovering that the spells and techniques they practiced allowed them to blend perfectly with the surrounding environment.

After confirming with their eyes, it was the kind of spellwork Li Ping’an wanted to acquire.

Second, these demon cultivators from Happy Valley didn’t have a strong aura of bloodshed on them.

They were probably engaged in activities like selling information and tracking espionage.

Third, the Mo Wentian that Xuntian Xu had transformed into must have held a very high prestige among the Happy Valley demon cultivators.

This made Li Ping’an think about other possibilities.

Compared with Li Ping’an’s curiosity about the demon cultivators, ‘Mo Wentian’ and his sisters, who had witnessed the entire demon-elimination process in the East Sea firsthand, were exceedingly shaken in their Daoist hearts.

‘Mo Wentian’ had originally told the dozen-plus elite members from Happy Valley that he was acting on behalf of a friend, who wanted to settle things with Dulong Sha.

They were only supposed to shadow the target today, nothing more.

‘Mo Wentian’ paid them half their compensation in advance, with the promise of the other half upon completion of the task.

These elite members from Happy Valley were initially delighted to be earning both spirit stones and favors, but they had never imagined that the friend mentioned by their Brother Mo was…

Five thousand celestial soldiers from the Eastern Alliance!

These weren’t the celestial soldiers often mentioned by the mortal kingdoms of the East Continent, where any group of soldiers at the stage of Qi Cultivation or Spirit-Gathering Realm could be called celestial soldiers and warriors.

These were genuinely five thousand Immortals!

Among the five thousand celestial soldiers were fifty True Immortal Realm ‘Centurions’ and twelve Heavenly Immortal commanders!

At that moment, Li Ping’an had just sent a message to Xuntian Xu, saying,

“Brother Xu, I’ve arrived, have your people continue to hide in place, they won’t be affected later.”

‘Mo Wentian’ immediately sent a message to his dozen-odd sisters:

“Hide where you are and don’t panic at what you see.

I’ve informed my friend of your locations, just make sure to stay hidden.”

No sooner had the message finished than streaks of rosy light appeared above the sea.

A swath of golden light cascaded down from the sky, enveloping the hundred-mile radius around the desolate island, freezing all fish and shrimp in the sea and exposing the thirty-six Blood Fiend Hall demon cultivators hiding on and beneath the island.

The twelve Heavenly Immortal commanders appeared simultaneously!

Four materialized above the island, four occupied positions in all four cardinal directions, and the remaining four emerged from the seafloor.

The leading commander threw a pagoda from his hand, which grew against the wind, instantaneously becoming a hundred zhang tall.

Countless streams of immortal light shot from within, completely encircling the island!

The celestial soldiers formed the array, while the celestial commanders controlled the scene!

Accompanied by a thunderous “Troops advance!” shout from the Heavenly Immortal commanders, the five thousand celestial soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens with an unstoppable momentum!

The celestial armor on the celestial soldiers burst with intense immortal light, cloaking the hundred-mile radius within an impenetrable heaven-sealing formation!

The thirty-odd demon cultivators on the island were completely dumbstruck.

The demon cultivator known as Dulong Sha and his subordinates didn’t even have a chance to put up a decent resistance; thousands of beams of immortal light fell, leveling the island to the ground.

There was no need for interrogation, no need for explanation, no need to leave a trace.

When the twelve Eastern Alliance commanders discovered six True Immortal Realm great demons hiding on the island, they had immediate grounds to eradicate the demon cultivators of Blood Fiend Hall.

This kind of demon elimination was a creditable achievement, neither big nor small;

The commanders were in high spirits.

The commanders hadn’t forgotten the young surveillance envoy’s instructions and left the Primordial Spirits of Dulong Sha and a few stronger demon cultivators intact.

Afterward, the five thousand celestial soldiers returned to the pagoda, and the twelve commanders flew northward, vanishing into the sky.

Li Ping’an thanked Xuntian Xu over a message and agreed on a place to meet afterward, before he, Zisang, and two Heavenly Immortal masters hurried toward the northwest.

From beginning to end, these two pairs of master and disciple had not revealed themselves.

Once the Eastern Alliance’s commanders and celestial soldiers had withdrawn;

Xuntian Xu, wearing a mask and cloaked in black robes, signaled from beneath the sea and hastily fled with his dozen-plus sisters.

On the way, the dozen or so elite members from Happy Valley seemed extremely frightened, not daring to communicate with each other for about half an hour.

‘Mo Wentian’ Xuntian Xu cautioned, “Remember this matter, it must be kept confidential.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Mo, we wouldn’t dare utter an extra word,” they replied.

“Brother Mo, your friend couldn’t possibly have powers reaching into the heavens, could he?

To be able to summon so many Eastern Alliance celestial soldiers…”

“This is my first time witnessing celestial soldiers eliminating demons.

Is the Eastern Alliance really going to exterminate us demon cultivators?

We haven’t done anything wrong, just scraping by to make a living.”

Xuntian Xu hastily said, “Don’t worry, this was a personal vendetta between my brother and Blood Fiend Hall.

Come and collect your payment, then return to continue your cultivation.”

“Thank you, Brother Mo.”

“Brother Mo, can I exchange my reward?

I don’t want spirit stones, how about I have you instead?”

“Ah!

Don’t say such things that can lead to misunderstandings.

I’ll give you an Immortal Treasure, now go back to your cultivation!”

“Hmph, really, to be summoned and dismissed just like that, as if I’m short of your Immortal Treasure.”

The demon cultivators teased each other, their communications becoming more lively.

Elsewhere, Li Ping’an had already met up with the twelve generals and began interrogating the Primordial Spirits of the several demon cultivators from Blood Fiend Hall.
