Chapter 292 - 292 110 Approaching the East Sea Ping'an Seeks to Investigate the Demon【Extra Update】

292: Chapter 110: Approaching the East Sea, Ping’an Seeks to Investigate the Demon【Extra Update】 292: Chapter 110: Approaching the East Sea, Ping’an Seeks to Investigate the Demon【Extra Update】 Weiyansi was now both pleased and worried.

The worry was that Li Ping’an had been preaching in the Wanyun Sect, and while he was busy watching over the shop on the shore of the East Sea, he had missed it.

According to Elder Yansheng, who had just arrived today, the dao lecture given by Ping’an this time involved the descent of an Innate Great Power of the Cloud Dao, who favored Ping’an and spoke to the Wanyun Sect about the Cloud Dao in his honor.

Almost every Immortal who listened to the lecture broke through one or two minor realms.

Because Weiyansi took his work too seriously, he missed out on such a chance.

But what made Weiyansi happy was—

Ping’an had arrived!

‘Who could I even complain to?

Hahaha!’

Weiyansi laughed heartily to himself as he paced back and forth in a small alley.

Looking around the alley, one could see tall wooden buildings wrapped in immortal light.

Although the alley seemed somewhat narrow, it was actually the best location in a large settlement called ‘Dong’an.’

An hour ago, Weiyansi had just welcomed Elder Yansheng, who had come to oversee the situation on the shore of the East Sea.

Although Elder Yansheng had only recently become a Heavenly Immortal, he had served for many years as the Hall Master of the Mundane Affairs Hall with deep qualifications and high prestige, even more respected than Elder Xiaoyue.

Therefore, there would be no problem at all for the sect to have Elder Yansheng temporarily take over Elder Xiaoyue’s duties.

Not to mention, Elder Yansheng also brought with him Xiaoyue’s tokens and several letters; Xiaoyue’s close confidants and over fifteen hundred registered disciples would naturally obey Elder Yansheng.

This made things much easier for Weiyansi.

After a simple handover ceremony, Elder Yansheng seated himself on the second-highest floor of the local tallest ‘Yunxian Tower’ and began to busy himself with his head down.

—The top floor of the Yunxian Tower was where Xiaoyue resided, and it was inappropriate for Elder Yansheng to enter.

The first thing Elder Yansheng did was to summon Weiyansi to a private meeting, pulling him aside and mysteriously saying:

“Weiyan, guess who has come?”

Weiyansi smiled and said, “Elder, judging by your demeanor, could it be that Ancestor Dazhi has come in person?”

“Ancestor Dazhi is accompanying Elder Xiaoyue to enjoy their retirement, cough, to recover from their injuries.”

Elder Yansheng whispered:

“Our Ping’an has come!”

“Ah?

Ping’an is leaving his residence?”

Weiyansi paused for a moment and then immediately understood the key to this situation.

Although Elder Yansheng had a high reputation and was a Heavenly Immortal, he was not particularly skilled in matters of management.

Having Ping’an here to take charge was certainly a strong and stable arrangement.

Elder Yansheng added, “Ping’an is currently traveling incognito.

You know his reputation; he is known to everyone as a near-Heavenly Immortal with great enlightenment.

If his whereabouts were to be exposed, it would surely bring endless trouble!”

“Right, right, right,” Weiyansi nodded continually, “now everyone in the market town is talking about Ping’an lecturing and enlightening thousands of Immortals inside the sect.”

“Exaggerated.

There were not thousands of Immortals.”

Elder Yansheng shook his head and took a puff from his dry pipe:

“It’s just that twelve hundred Immortals went into seclusion, and more than two thousand broke through their realms, that’s all.”

Weiyansi nearly slipped and barely held back his tears.

Elder Yansheng then asked, “How many properties do we have in Dong’an City?”

“We own half of the territory,” Weiyansi replied, “This place is our main base on the shore of the East Sea.”

Elder Yansheng said in a measured voice, “Good, find the best courtyard, it must be well fortified with arrays, surrounded by the residences of our Wanyun Sect’s Heavenly Immortals.

Arrange my residence near there too, to provide a place for Ping’an to settle and cultivate.”

“Got it!”

Weiyansi laughed:

“I had prepared a courtyard for you earlier, considering that other Heavenly Immortals from our sect might come, I prepared an extra set.

The two sets are right next to each other, you can see if you just open the window and look down.”

“That’s good.”

Elder Yansheng stuffed some Spiritual Root leaves into his pipe and said slowly:

“After Ping’an arrives, you should stop all other tasks and just follow Ping’an’s instructions…

and remember, don’t forget your manners; Ping’an is now an inner sect Elder, and when you see him, remember to address him as Elder.”

“What?” Weiyansi exclaimed, “Ping’an, an inner sect Elder?”

“If you could lecture and make Golden Immortals from within the sect go into seclusion to break through, and allow over two thousand Immortals to advance their realms, and even elevate our sect’s Dao heritage, giving you the title of honorary Sect Leader wouldn’t be a problem either!”

Elder Yansheng huffed:

“That’s still after Ancestor Dazhi strongly objected.

Initially, there was the intention to give Ping’an the title of Vice Sect Leader, but now, Ping’an probably doesn’t care about these things anymore.

“Our Wanyun Sect, in the future, is the foundation behind Ping’an.

In Ping’an’s eyes, this world, extending over the East Continent, is his!”

Elder Yansheng’s sighs of admiration continued to echo in Weiyansi’s ears.

…

Weiyansi let out a soft sigh.

Two images appeared in his heart:

The young man in robes, with sweat on his face, sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, climbing the steps before Liuyun Temple, his eyes filled with a longing for The Path of Immortality.

The scene shifted.

The young man’s appearance hadn’t changed much, but his temperament had become ethereal, riding the clouds to land before the Holy Mother statue in Liuyun Temple, facing thousands of cloud sect Immortals, smiling as he lectured.

‘How many years has it been?’

Weiyansi was filled with emotion in the small alley.

Suddenly, he heard a somewhat hoarse female voice calling out, “Excuse me, are you Weiyansi?”

Weiyansi turned his head and saw an old Loose Cultivator lady in the Void Refinement Realm, walking towards him with the help of a cane.

Having been around Li Ping’an for a long time and struggled in Dafang Town for years, Weiyansi was extremely alert.

Weiyansi kept his left hand behind his back, clenching several Blast Cloud Pills in his palm, and held his right hand in front of him, his palm concealing a couple of talismans that could create a misty illusion, as he smiled and said:

“Does the old lady recognize this poor Daoist?”

“Greeting the Officer,” the old woman’s trembling voice bowed, “an Elder said that the Officer arranged a courtyard for me, and I have come to claim it.”

As the old lady lacked a layer of faint immortal light, Weiyansi took a careful look and saw through her disguise.
