Chapter 358 - 358 132 Eve of the Skirmish An Unwelcome Visitor

358: Chapter 132: Eve of the Skirmish, An Unwelcome Visitor 358: Chapter 132: Eve of the Skirmish, An Unwelcome Visitor After half an hour had passed,

the four of them left the interrogation chamber in silence, each taking a seat in the study, not speaking for a long while.

Huo Gunsha had divulged everything he knew, including those dozen or so sects he had commanded to be wiped out, which had previously had conflicts of interest with the Sea Watch Sect.

In the same vein, Li Ping’an now also knew all the details of the Blood Fiend Hall’s operation, including contact codes and so forth.

A few chirps of crickets came from outside the study;

a slight cool breeze blew through the gap in the window.

It wasn’t until Wen Ling’er brought tea in that the senior, Xu Sheng, could not help but punch the table beside him.

The barrier of immortal power on the table nearly collapsed, scaring Wen Ling’er into a shudder.

Xu Sheng raged, “I always wondered why my Wei Yuan Sect could not prosper!

Good grief!

All these major sects are full of nothing but sneaky and underhanded tactics!

We may have been late to the game in deploying our mundane arrangements in the central East Continent, but others picked a few sects with lesser strength and simply eradicated them, taking over their painstakingly built Immortal Dynasty!

In my early years, I followed the Human Emperor bravely into battle, driving away the Hundred Clans, only to end up guarding this fiasco!

It’s infuriating!”

Yansheng pulled out his dry tobacco pipe and lit it, stating softly, “Recalling the past, our Wanyun Sect also tried this approach, but with the internal strife within the sect a thousand years ago, those who were tainted by this method either died or were expelled.”

Qing Su asked, “Disciple, shall we go to the Eastern Alliance to mobilize troops now?”

“The enemy has only gathered the power of three Blood Fiends,” Li Ping’an said, “The immortal soldiers of the Eastern Alliance here are sufficient to cope with it.

I will just need to have a chat with a few generals in the barracks…

If we really need to mobilize troops, it would be more appropriate to ask for assistance from a few generals.”

Xu Sheng said, “Shall I go to Wei Yuan Sect to mobilize a group of Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals?”

“There is no need for that,” Li Ping’an seriously said, “Wei Yuan Sect is an Artifact Refining sect, not suitable for battle and slaughter.”

“It can’t be said like that,”

Xu Sheng laughed,

“Our Artifact Refiners in Wei Yuan Sect can refine artifacts with a small hammer and eliminate demons with a big one!

Ping’an, the harm of the Demonic Path in the East Continent has reached an intolerable level.

I don’t know what the debates inside the Eastern Alliance are, but principles, reason, and justice must not be thrown into chaos!

“Wei Yuan Sect cannot sit idly by!”

The old man showed his Golden Immortal authority,

Which earned a hint of admiration from the Artifact Spirit of the Cangyue Bead.

Li Ping’an remained silent and thoughtful.

What he had in mind, what he was planning, was bigger than the imminent battle they were facing.

Li Ping’an made a rough calculation.

They intended to take down all three groups of Blood Fiends in the Blood Fiend Hall at once; even if the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall was unwilling, he would have to let the remaining forces of the Blood Fiend Hall go into hiding.

In other words, this was the only chance in the short term to eradicate the Blood Fiend Hall completely.

How should this be executed?

Li Ping’an sank back into the armchair, frowning in thought.

Seeing this, Qing Su quietly moved to the next room and continued to pick up his chopsticks, taking a small bite of the steamed fish that had cooled down but was still delicious.

Dong’an City was never short of various delicious spirit fish, and Wen Ling’er’s cooking skills had also made great progress lately.

Suddenly, Li Ping’an spoke, “Hunting the hawk requires full strength, let us make a big move this time!”

Qing Su frowned, reluctantly put down his jade chopsticks, stood up gracefully, and returned to the study next door.

Yansheng asked, “How are we going to make a big move?”

“Prepare for one day first!”

Li Ping’an said briskly,

“Let’s act separately; I will go to the barracks to discuss with a few generals how to trap the Demon Cultivators.

“Elder Yansheng, please first inform my father and ask him to secretly mobilize a sufficient number of Immortals, ready to support Dong’an City at any moment, ensuring the mobilization is secretive!

“Senior Xu Sheng, we need to borrow the great shifting formation of Wei Yuan Sect; we will bear the costs of the Spirit Stones and any damages.

“Master, please go find the Immortal Wen Rou and by any means necessary, ensure that the old Tianli knows we are about to capture the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall.

Please ask Tianli to make sure to visit Dong’an City within three days!”

Everyone nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave.

Li Ping’an called out to Xu Sheng once more with a serious tone, “Senior, once you have arranged things regarding the great shifting formation, please take a trip to Tian Yuan Sect.

I would like to ask the Golden Immortal Patriarch of Tian Yuan Sect to come out of seclusion to help.”

“No problem!” Xu Sheng laughed, “That old fellow once sent me a message wanting me to put in a good word for him to you, to invite you to be a guest at Tian Yuan Sect.”

Li Ping’an was caught between laughter and tears, but at the moment, all the Golden Immortal Patriarchs of Wanyun Sect were in seclusion, and the duration of a Golden Immortal’s seclusion could last years, even decades—it was not to be disturbed lightly unless the sect faced a great calamity, so he had no choice but to seek external assistance.

“Thank you,” Li Ping’an bowed and said, “Please convey to the senior Zhan Yuan that I will definitely visit Tian Yuan Sect afterward!”

“That’s settled then,” Xu Sheng waved his hand grandly, “Shall I ask him to come directly to you?”

“No,” Li Ping’an said, “I would like you and elder Zhan Yuan to come here together after half a day, bringing Huo Gunsha with you.

Take Huo Gunsha to capture the Message Passing Elder of the Blood Fiend Hall!

That elder certainly knows all sorts of secrets!

Huo Gunsha is one of the few who can actively contact that Message Passing Elder among the Blood Fiends!”

“Right, the role of the Message Passing Elder is much more critical than this Huo Gunsha!

Then I’ll take him to find Zhan Yuan right away!”

“Senior, senior, don’t rush,” Li Ping’an said, “We’ll need Huo Gunsha for another half a day.

I’d like to ask elder Yansheng to think about how to disguise Huo Gunsha.

Later, when manipulating those Blood Fiends and the monsters of the deep sea, we’ll need Huo Gunsha to take the lead.”

Elder Yansheng’s eyes lit up, he stood up tall and proud declaring, “Good!”

Ping’an had finally given him some proper work to do.

Always passing messages, delivering letters, what a waste of his Heavenly Immortal Dao Realm!

Li Ping’an urged, “That’s it, everyone please go now!”

Yansheng and Xu Sheng transformed into rainbow lights and flew out of the courtyard’s formation.
