“A confidant of the Blood Fiend from Blood Fiend Hall is in the city?”

Underneath Li Ping’an’s new home, in a freshly excavated secret chamber.

Elder Yansheng, Weiyanzu, Li Ping’an, and Qing Su each took their seats.

Hearing Li Ping’an’s recount of the events at Drunken Moon Tower, both Weiyanzu and Elder Yansheng’s expressions changed.

Weiyanzu’s face turned a bashful red from embarrassment.

Elder Yansheng gave Weiyanzu a glare and then, with a fierce look on his face, stood up and said, “Seal off the city, search every home!

This is our territory, we absolutely cannot let the demons from Blood Fiend Hall slip through our fingers!”

“Ah,” Li Ping’an said seriously, “Elder, there’s no need to rush.”

Elder Yansheng sat back down and said, “Ping’an, you speak.”

At this moment in the secret chamber, Li Ping’an sat in the main seat, with Elder Yansheng and Weiyanzu on his left and right, and Qing Su sitting in the corner, sipping tea and nibbling on pastries.

“Acting rashly will only scare the big fish away.”

Li Ping’an smiled and said:

“What’s urgent now is to discreetly ask for a few more experts to come here.

“Not including my master, we have four Heavenly Immortals, eighteen True Immortals, and a hundred Elemental Immortals here, as well as hundreds of Loose Cultivators we’ve hired to patrol, but it’s indeed insufficient to confront Blood Fiend Hall.

“Moreover, we must also be prepared for a sudden visit from a few Blood Fiends.”

Elder Yansheng slowly nodded, “Indeed, that is the wise course.”

Li Ping’an continued, “That Granny Yin Lin said a lot, but hid even more.

Clearly, they don’t want to completely offend the forces behind Blood Fiend Hall, hence her deliberate ambiguity.

The information from Drunken Moon Tower can’t be fully trusted, but it can’t be completely dismissed either.

We should prepare…

prepare on multiple fronts.”

Qing Su asked, “How should we prepare?”

“Master,” Li Ping’an took out his third-grade patrol commander’s token, “please call some troops over.”

Qing Su shook his head, “If I leave this place, how can I ensure your complete safety?”

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile, “We can’t keep troubling Brother Ye and his disciples.”

“Run an errand?”

The sheepish Weiyanzu volunteered, “I’ll go!

I can do it!”

“It’s to the military camp of the Eastern Alliance,” Li Ping’an said, “you wouldn’t be able to find the place, Steward.”

Elder Yansheng clamped down on his dry tobacco pipe and said solemnly:

“Ping’an, this matter should not disturb the Eastern Alliance for fear of accusations of mixing personal issues with official duties.

“Furthermore, this town is under the joint jurisdiction of our Wanyun Sect and two other sects.

If our Wanyun Sect doesn’t have the capability to defend this place, we might as well hand it over; it’s not like we’d lose much in terms of Spirit Stones.

“We can only ask for support from within the sect…

However, many Immortals within our sect are in secluded cultivation, and we are indeed short-staffed at the moment.”

Li Ping’an thought carefully and said decisively, “I’ll ask Elder Xu Sheng to come over.”

“Elder Xu?”

“Yes,” Li Ping’an said, “Wei Yuan Sect has earned quite a few Spirit Stones over the years, it’s time for Elder Xu Sheng to stretch his legs a bit…

I’ll write a letter, and Elder, please send a reliable True Immortal to deliver it to Wei Yuan Sect.”

“Good.”

Elder Yansheng nodded in agreement.

Li Ping’an took out a Jade Talisman, scribbled a few lines, and pushed it towards Elder Yansheng.

Elder Yansheng quickly left, returning shortly afterwards having dispatched a True Immortal from the sect to Wei Yuan Sect with the letter.

Weiyanzu then asked, “Do we really need to attend that coming-of-age banquet tonight?”

Li Ping’an raised an eyebrow at Weiyanzu, who couldn’t help but blush in embarrassment.

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Arriving early isn’t as good as arriving at the right time.

Steward, you must attend tonight’s event.”

“Ah?”

Weiyanzu’s face turned red, “Ping’an, if you come, you’ll expose me; I truly haven’t done anything bad!

Mine is an interest in culture, just composing poetry and matching verses!”

Qing Su calmly picked up his cup of tea and took a sip.

Li Ping’an said seriously, “Steward, you needn’t worry, you haven’t taken a life partner, so the sect won’t bother with such trivial matters.

Tonight, we really need to borrow the ‘reputation’ you’ve ‘toiled’ to build up in this town over the years.”

Weiyanzu looked up at the ceiling and sighed, “My reputation for this entire life…”

“Hmph!

You didn’t think of today when you were chasing after women!”

Elder Yansheng, with a face full of contempt, scolded:

“If it wasn’t for us here, you’d be keeping this secret!

If it were any other Elder, you’d be dealt with by the sect rules!”

Li Ping’an curiously said, “Is there really such a rule in the sect?”

“Well, naturally there isn’t,” Elder Yansheng said with a smile, “but as the Wanyun Sect is a righteous Immortal Sect, just a proposal from two Elders could add it to the rules.”

Li Ping’an and Elder Yansheng exchanged glances, then both looked at Weiyanzu.

Weiyanzu’s beard twitched, wilting like a frostbitten eggplant.

Li Ping’an sat behind the desk, deep in thought.

He still had other backups, hesitating now over whether to use them.

He began to weigh the differences and hidden risks between using and not using this backup.

The three Immortals in the room, seeing him lost in thought, didn’t dare to interrupt.

Weiyanzu stared blankly at the wall mural, Elder Yansheng quietly puffed on his dry tobacco, and Qing Su nibbled on rice blossom pastries little by little.

‘Well, why not use them if I have them?’

For Drunken Moon Tower, the ‘Mo Wentian’ brand was very useful.

Li Ping’an suddenly said, “Both of you, remember this disguise of mine.”

After speaking, he took out a purse with the character ‘Mo’ on it from his sleeve, pulled out a thin spirit beast skin mask, and stuck it to his face, then placed a half-mask over his nose.

“This identity is that of Mo Wendi.”

Li Ping’an spoke slowly:

“He is an Artifact Refiner who is both righteous and nefarious, with a power level of a seventh-grade Elemental Immortal, cautious by nature, possessing Secret Techniques of Artifact Refining.

“He has a big brother named Mo Wentian, ranked second among Demonic Path Artifact Refiners, a distinguished guest in Drunken Moon Tower.”

Elder Yansheng and Weiyanzu looked at each other, a touch of surprise in their eyes.

Elder Yansheng said, “Ping’an…”
