314: Chapter 116: Dazhi Searches for His Child in the East Sea_2 314: Chapter 116: Dazhi Searches for His Child in the East Sea_2 “The Mu family and that well with water that causes pregnancy upon drinking surely have big issues,” “It might be some sort of ancient relic or a treasured site left from the times of old.”

“This matter isn’t something we should handle, yet if you neglect it, her mother has passed away, and who knows whether that spiritual power could flow into Ningning?

There might be complications with Ningning…

What to do about this?”

Xinhuai Wang’s eyes gleamed with a ruthless streak: “Great Ancestor, I will invite two Heavenly Immortal elders to make a trip and directly haul back the hill where their Mu family resides!

If there are any problems, we’ll resolve them face to face—we can’t let it affect Ping’an!”

“Isn’t that just bullying with power?”

Li Dazhi waved his hand:

“We mustn’t tell outsiders about this matter, let me ponder…

No, I must go personally!”

“This is the biggest issue for the Li family right now!”

“Alright, I’ll take Ping’an and visit the Mu family in secret.

It would also be good to make use of the opportunity while Xu Sheng elder is still in Dong’an City to ask him for protection!”

Xinhuai Wang hurriedly said: “Great Ancestor!

The Sect Leader is in seclusion, as are the three Golden Immortal ancestors, how can you leave?”

Li Dazhi retorted: “Who has the say over the gate now?”

“You do!

The Sect Leader said, if there’s anything uncertain, we should ask you.”

“Well then, that settles it.

I’ve given the order.”

Li Dazhi patted his thigh and stood up:

“There’s no time to waste, let’s handle this quickly.

I’ll go stealthily, and you will come with me.”

“Great Ancestor, you shouldn’t go stealthily—your safety is of utmost importance!”

“Hey!” Li Dazhi grinned, “I’m just half a step away from ascending to Heavenly Immortal; a bit of travel might lead to a breakthrough.

The grounding order my master placed on me only holds until I reach Heavenly Immortal.

Besides, with my son being a third-ranked officer, who in the East Continent can bully me?”

Xinhuai Wang was going to offer more advice, but Li Dazhi had already made up his mind and headed directly to the back hall to find Xiaoyue, who was still ‘recuperating.’

A short while later.

Li Dazhi went to several main peaks to find a few familiar Peak Masters to entrust some matters;

Then he went to the Wanyun Hall and found some of the most senior Heavenly Immortals and told them that he would be going into seclusion for some time.

In less than an hour, Li Dazhi, with Xinhuai Wang and Xiaoyue by his side, quietly left the Wanyun Sect’s gates and made their way along the coast of the East Sea.

As for Li Ping’an, who knew nothing of his father’s whereabouts, he was staring at the blue sky and white clouds above the beach with a face full of disappointment at that moment.

Sigh—

There are no bikinis in the world of cultivation.

…

Clear skies, endless expanse.

Li Ping’an lay comfortably on the beach.

Dressed in loose shorts and sipping his homemade ‘happy water,’ he rested on his arms and gazed at the streaks of light crisscrossing the sky.

Not far away was the barbecue grill.

Qing Su, still dressed in her plain white long dress, took a seat on a small stool by the grill;

Ling’er changed into a cool short skirt and skillfully skewered and grilled meat, occasionally taking the skewers Qing Su had picked out and placing them on a low table nearby.

At the low table, elder Xu Sheng laughed and drank wine, joined by Wei Yanzi and two Heavenly Immortal elders from the Wanyun Sect, drinking and eating skewers leisurely.

This area was completely enveloped by a barrier set up by Xu Sheng, cutting off any outside prying.

Li Ping’an was feeling contemplative.

So what was the point of his diligent cultivation?

No matter his insights or mana, as long as the Dao Realm was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, there was no chance of increasing his power!

It would be so much better just to lie flat, enjoy life, daydream when there was nothing else to do, and not rush to improve oneself.

To fight, he would call on his master; to make money, he would rely on his father.

With his master advancing a few more levels, he would soon be the most powerful Heavenly Immortal in the East Continent.

Once his master stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm…

tsk tsk, Li Ping’an dared not imagine how wonderful that scene would be!

‘How could one attain the Dao, how could one question the path to immortality!’

Li Ping’an sipped through the soft straw, the cool juice flowing over his teeth and diffusing spiritual energy from his mouth, which made him comfortably hum a tune.

“Disciple, do you want this skewer?”

Qing Su asked from beside him:

“This is the best one!”

“Master, you eat it.

I’ll prepare some seafood later and show off my skills again.”

“Then I’ll eat less now.”

Qing Su’s voice suddenly became much more cheerful.

To the side, elder Xu Sheng kept looking their way.

Actually, Xu Sheng wanted to find a chance to talk to Li Ping’an alone, to admire the Cangyue Bead and ask how Li Ping’an had become acquainted with ‘that elder.’

Unfortunately, just as Xu Sheng found the right moment and was about to rise, Yansheng brought a Heavenly Immortal officer in silver armor from the Eastern Alliance directly to their barrier.

Li Ping’an instantly put away his ‘happy gear,’ sat up, and adopted a pose of diligent cultivation.

After a short while, Elder Yansheng, accompanied by generals, came forward to pay respects.

“Ping’an, the interrogation is nearly done.”

Li Ping’an stood up and made a gesture of greeting with his hands clasped, smiling said, “Elder, you have worked hard.”

Yansheng waved his hand, holding a dry tobacco pipe, and pointed to the middle-aged man by his side, “It was General Du who conducted the interrogation, I was merely observing.”

“General Du Kui, at your service, Inspector!”

“General, you are too kind!”

The robust man saluted with his fist, and Li Ping’an returned the gesture.

“Inspector,” General Du Kui handed over a Jade Talisman with both hands, “This contains the confessions of the Twin Fiends.

The threat of the Blood Fiend Hall is much greater than we had previously thought.”

Li Ping’an did not take it but said, “Please submit it to the Eastern Alliance, General Du.”

A smile appeared in Du Kui’s eyes as he said, “Thank you, Inspector.”

“Alas,” Li Ping’an sighed, “thinking that there are still fourteen Fiends, along with the Hall Master, Vice Hall Master, and Elders of the Blood Fiend Hall out there committing evil, I truly have difficulty sleeping and eating in peace.”

After pondering for a moment, General Du Kui chose his words carefully and said in a measured tone,

“The Alliance Hierarchs of the Eastern Alliance are also paying close attention to this matter.

“Here, I’ve heard some discussions.

Some say that the Eastern Alliance should not interfere with the development of sects in the East Continent, but many more argue that the Eastern Alliance ought to prune the branches of the East Continent and cannot ignore such rampant demon cultivators.

“Actually, cultivating as an immortal or a demon simply involves different methods.

In ancient times, our Human Race sages also used the methods of demon cultivation to wage great wars against the evil spirits of the Hundred Clans.

“But now, there’s no urgent need to acquire power so quickly, and demon cultivation makes it easy to lose control of oneself, which is why cultivating as an immortal is advocated instead.

“A senior with great seniority recently declared that this Blood Fiend Hall is not the same as demon cultivators and should be called ‘evil cultivators’.

They should be differentiated as the righteous and the evil paths, not by what type of cultivation method one practices.”

“Indeed, it should be so.”

Li Ping’an laughed and said, “Thank you for sharing this with me, General Du.”

“Inspector, you are too modest!

A young talent like yourself, esteemed by the elders, is truly the hope for the future of the Eastern Alliance.”

General Du Kui asked with a salute,

“Inspector, do you have any further instructions?”

“I’ve heard that the Eastern Alliance intends to station a troop outside Dong’an City?”

“That is the case,” General Du Kui responded, “It serves as a deterrence to the Blood Fiend Hall, and the elders are concerned for your safety.

They have ordered us to station troops here.

Currently, a thousand troops are present, and later, an additional two thousand will be allocated here.

This area will also be used as a training ground for the barracks.”

Li Ping’an took out the “ill-gotten gains” confiscated from the Tuoba family, a ring, and handed it to General Du Kui.

He said solemnly, “This is treasure amassed by a branch hall of the Blood Fiend Hall.

The construction of the camp will also require spirit stones and treasured materials, so please do not refuse, General.”

“This…”

General Du Kui sighed and said, “Inspector, you take too much care of us.”

Li Ping’an laughed and said, “It’s merely part of my duties, with no extra concern…

Elder, our Wanyun Sect should also express our gratitude for the troops provided by the Eastern Alliance for protection.

Let’s not give people cause to say that we’re offering gifts to the officials and soldiers of the Eastern Alliance.

Just ensure the supply of Immortal Fruit and fine wine doesn’t stop, and that will suffice.”

Elder Yansheng laughed and said, “Rest assured, Ping’an, I’ll take care of it.”

“In that case, on behalf of my brothers-in-arms, I thank you, Inspector!

And thank you, Elder Yansheng!”

General Du Kui’s eyes sparkled.

Yes, they can drink outside!

In the large military camp, they’re only allowed a few days a year to drink, whereas, if stationed outside, they might drink once a month – what a delight!

It wasn’t long before Elder Yansheng saw General Du Kui off.

Li Ping’an exhaled softly.

To him, the best news was that the Eastern Alliance’s troop presence was increasing from one thousand to three thousand.

Of course, the thousand immortal soldiers who stayed last night were the cream of the Eastern Alliance.

The two thousand who would be joining later were likely not yet immortals, and would come here for cultivation and training.

Li Ping’an gained a deeper understanding.

This action by the Eastern Alliance was likely aimed at strengthening oversight of the East Continent, taking this opportunity to begin targeted ‘trials’ to gauge the reactions of the various sects.

Approximately so.

Suddenly, Li Ping’an heard his father’s familiar call, “Ping’an, Ping’an?”

Li Ping’an hesitated for a moment.

An auditory hallucination?

Li Ping’an blinked.

He had just heard the call of his father, who should be in the mountains attempting to reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm, while also enjoying being ‘teased by Aunt Xiaoyue’ every day…

right?

“Ping’an, over here, over here!”

Li Ping’an turned his head to look.

There was a light, shining brightly!

“Dad!

Haha!

What are you doing here!”
