The mana within her also originates from “Wanyun Jue”.

Wei Yanzi chuckled and, with his hands clasped, gave a gesture of invitation to the side before pushing open the courtyard gate.

The old woman flashed into the courtyard, and Wei Yanzi closed the gate behind her, activating the layers of grand formations in the area to isolate it from external probing and sealed off this space.

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief, her figure shifted, and with a poof, she reverted back to her original appearance as Wen Ling’er.

Wen Ling’er sweetly called out:

“Greetings to Steward Wei Yanzi!

I am Wen Ling’er, serving Little Ancestor Ping’an!”

“Where’s Ping’an?”

“Right here,” Wen Ling’er lifted the sleeve of her short skirt and a small honeybee flew out, accompanied by splashes of colorful light, transforming into a young Daoist clad in a dark Daoist robe.

Wei Yanzi fixed his gaze, and his lips curled into a smile.

There are songs that praise him:

Originally a mortal and wealthy merchant’s son, upon entering the flowing clouds he nearly became an immortal.

His enlightenment’s virtue shook the East Continent; his fame for demon extermination spread across the Western Region.

Sword-like brows and starry eyes are not enough; red lips and white teeth are not common.

The Great Power of Jade Void passed on the Dao, and the alliance hired him as a third-rank official.

If not Li Ping’an, then who else?

Wei Yanzi burst into laughter, stepped forward, and clasped his hands in greeting: “Steward Wei Yanzi of Wanyun, greetings to Little Elder Ping’an!”

Li Ping’an had several black lines on his forehead and scolded, “Steward, stop teasing me!”

The pendant around Wen Ling’er’s neck transformed into a ray of immortal light, shooting straight into the small building in the courtyard.

The voice of Qing Su rang out, “Disciple, which room do you want?”

“Master, you choose!” Li Ping’an said, “I will also dig a few secret chambers underground later, so you can pick any room you like!”

Qing Su replied, “All right.”

Wen Ling’er hurriedly said, “I’ll go tidy up the rooms; you two take your time.”

Li Ping’an and Wei Yanzi both chuckled.

The two exchanged glances, each making a gesture of invitation, and headed to the rockery pavilion in the corner of the courtyard.

Li Ping’an got right to the point: “In the time to come, I’ll be troubling you, Steward.

I’m here in the town to handle some business and investigate the Demon Cultivators.”

“Investigate the Demon Cultivators?”

Wei Yanzi was a bit confused:

“Why investigate Demon Cultivators?

Is it because of that matter with the Blood Fiend Hall?

The Blood Fiend Hall has now completely gone into hiding.

They recently lost two Fiends, turning the Eighteen Fiends into Sixteen Fiends.

They shouldn’t be active again any time soon.”

“About that…”

Li Ping’an couldn’t reveal that his father was fated to face danger and simply said:

“I intend to completely eradicate the Blood Fiend Hall and not to handle it personally.

“I’m now an inspector for the Eastern Alliance, empowered to act accordingly.

The Eastern Alliance’s strength is unparalleled but previously sparingly used within the East Continent, resulting in Demon Cultivators running rampant across the region.

“It’s also because the Human Race no longer faces powerful external enemies and corruption has started from within.

Demon Cultivators and demons associate with each other, forming organizations like the Blood Fiend Hall that must be eradicated at the earliest.”

Wei Yanzi blinked, “I never realized you had this level of awareness before?”

“That’s because,” Li Ping’an gestured with his hands, “the bigger picture has been revealed.”

“Hahaha!”

Wei Yanzi raised an eyebrow:

“But did this Blood Fiend Hall provoke you?

Oh, right, by attacking Xiaoyue, they provoked you!”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “We have specific grievances and debts.

The matter of attacking Aunt Xiaoyue should be attributed to the Sea Watch Sect.

However, in investigating this Blood Fiend Hall, I have a hunch that the relationship between the Sea Watch Sect and the Blood Fiend Hall is not limited to what has been exposed so far.”

“Ah?”

“Stop being surprised; there’s no time to lose.

Once my master settles in, we’ll start taking action!”

Li Ping’an said solemnly:

“I will change my appearance later…

What rank are you now, Steward?”

“A seventh-rank Yuan Immortal, my cultivation speed is already extremely fast!”

Wei Yanzi hurriedly said:

“I certainly can’t compare to you and your father!”

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, with his palm covered in his own mana: “Let’s compare our strength.”

Comparing strength is the simplest way to test which of the two has higher levels of mana.

Wei Yanzi was puzzled but complied.

Shortly, as their palms clasped each other, Wei Yanzi was confident the moment before, allowing Li Ping’an to give his all.

But the next moment, he was yanked by Li Ping’an and swayed…

“No way!”

Wei Yanzi leaped to his feet and stared at Li Ping’an:

“You haven’t become an immortal, how could you!”

Li Ping’an inwardly murmured ‘as expected.’

Although his Dao Realm was blocked, the power he inherited from his father’s previous transmissions had not vanished.

Simply put, the mana in his body was now infinitely close to immortal power; his Magical Combat strength was also comparable, the only thing missing was the step of expanding his Dao in the universe, unable to situate his Dao between heaven and earth.

If they were truly to engage in Magical Combat, without relying on Spiritual Treasures, arrays, Immortal Techniques, etc., he would now be on par with Wei Yanzi.

‘Heavenly Dao, oh Heavenly Dao.’

“What’s the matter with you, Ping’an?”

“Cough,” Li Ping’an briefly explained, “I’m following a path of cultivation that’s quite different.

In ancient times, when the Human Race ancestors began exploring cultivation, there wasn’t any talk of becoming immortal.”

“This!”

Wei Yanzi laughed and sighed in resignation, “Alright, I suppose it makes sense I’d be surpassed by you, I just really didn’t expect it to come so soon.”

“Let’s drink some tea.”

Li Ping’an produced two tea cups: “Steward, please tell me in detail about the Demon Cultivators hidden in the city, and how to contact them.”

“Alright, I only know the two old crones from Drunken Moon Tower, and that was also from delivering messages on behalf of Xiaoyue.”

Wei Yanzi coughed:

“I certainly wasn’t there looking for pleasure, I have my principles you know!”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Why haven’t you been in a hurry to find a Dao companion in the past two years, Steward?”

“Just focusing on cultivation,” Wei Yanzi replied.

“I’ll take your word for it,” Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, “Steward, please go over all the details of your contacts with Demon Cultivators with me.

I plan to use your identity, that is, to take on your appearance and move around in the town, and visit that Drunken Moon Tower.”
