370: Chapter 136: Dazhi Asks Three Questions, Ping’an Subdues the Demon 370: Chapter 136: Dazhi Asks Three Questions, Ping’an Subdues the Demon Conquer with virtue?

According to Li Ping’an’s thoughts, it would be best for both him and his father to avoid showing their faces for now.

The elder Tianli had already hinted at the relationship between the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Heavenly Crane and the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall—an old subordinate.

Considering the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall’s reaction when cornered, it was clear he was a person of narrow-mindedness, having killed so many yet feeling no remorse for his actions.

It wasn’t inconceivable, but rather it indicated that this person inherently harbored malicious intentions.

His father was right; they must find a way to leverage their position to eliminate this man today, or else he would surely seek mad vengeance against Wanyun Sect and both father and son.

Li Ping’an kept pondering at the bottom of his heart.

If his father struggled against the opponent’s fire power, Li Ping’an was prepared to discard his official robes of the East Alliance and, even if it meant invoking the name of his mentor, Yun Zhongzi, he would ensure that the old man of Heavenly Crane couldn’t protect this murderous fiend of Blood Fiend.

Having made up his mind, Li Ping’an’s gaze became even colder.

A large hand waved in front of Li Ping’an.

“What are you thinking about?”

Li Dazhi muttered, “Why do I feel like you’re about to go up there and start chopping people?”

“No worries, Dad, aren’t you going to conquer with virtue?”

Li Ping’an gestured for his father to proceed.

“No rush, let’s just watch first.”

Li Dazhi smiled and said telepathically:

“Both Vice Alliance Hierarchs are facing off, overtly and covertly, an amusing sight you don’t see every day.

“Also, you’re a third-rank inspector of the East Alliance, so even if you want to speak your mind, you should hold back.

If it comes to that, I’ll speak for you.

“Don’t I know you?

Some shady business happened in your lab before, and you stood up and scolded people directly, offending even your instructor.”

Li Ping’an turned his head and glared: “How do you know about that?”

Li Dazhi laughed: “When your trunk is filled with a few cases of evidence, you’ll understand…

Of course, that opportunity’s gone now, so focus, Elder Xu Sheng is coming over.”

Elders Xu Sheng and Zhan Yuan had by now retreated to stand beside the father and son.

Soon afterwards, Wen Rou and Ye Zisang, the master and apprentice duo, also landed next to Li Dazhi and Li Ping’an, with Wen Rou bowing to Li Dazhi and Zisang standing beside Li Ping’an with a playful smile.

Wen Rou and Ye Zisang had also received orders from the elder Tianli, to intervene if necessary with this pair of father and son.

The crowd held their breath and focused their attention, watching the standoff in the sky.

The old man of the Heavenly Crane was the first to break the stalemate, saying with a smile, “Tianli, what do you mean by this?

My old subordinate?”

“Do you not recognize this person?”

Old man Tianli narrowed his eyes:

“I think Li Ping’an just made a good point, why not unveil this person’s mask right here and confirm his identity.

“Both of us are Vice Alliance Hierarchs of the East Alliance, and our actions reflect on the entire Alliance.

We cannot let rumors spread, so everything we do should be reasonable and just.”

The old man of Heavenly Crane sighed, “This Vice Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall has significant connections, the sins he bears are heavy, but he is after all one of the elder generation, a Golden Immortal of our Human Race, a survivor from battles with the Hundred Clans.

He deserves some dignity; we mustn’t chill the hearts of the elder generation of Golden Immortals.”

“Chilling hearts or not is not something that you or I caused.”

Elder Tianli also sighed:

“It hasn’t been easy for the Human Race to establish such a prosperous era, yet it’s been just a few tens of thousands of years?

People’s hearts aren’t ancient anymore, morals decline day by day, Demon Cultivators are rampant, colluding with groups of monsters.

“This Vice Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall, no matter who he is, cannot be protected.

“Li Ping’an has been busy with this matter, and was even nearly killed by that little snake previously.

Wanyun Sect has been careful to protect the ordinary people and Loose Cultivators within the city while setting traps for the murderous fiends of Blood Fiend Hall, resulting in dozens of Immortals wounded.

“If we can’t even fulfill this small wish of Li Ping’an, won’t the sect and its members also feel chilled?”

The old man of Heavenly Crane said again, “But if we remove this person’s mask and disclose his identity, then what about his sect?

How will they face themselves?”

“A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow.”

Elder Tianli replied indifferently:

“His sect clearly has issues too, and if there are issues, they must be rectified.

When big demons raise little demons, and little demons grow into big demons, it’s an endless cycle.

How can the East Continent not be in chaos?”

The old man of Heavenly Crane shook his head: “There are other considerations regarding this matter; it’s pointless for you and me to discuss this here, why not return together and consult the Alliance Hierarch and the other Vice Hierarchs.”

“Return?

Sure.”

Elder Tianli smiled:

“I’ll escort this Vice Hall Master, I don’t trust your people.”

The old man of Heavenly Crane frowned: “Tianli, must we really take it this far?”

“It’s not me causing trouble, Junior Brother,” Elder Tianli said sternly, “I really don’t know how to explain to Li Ping’an.

We are both elders, and if the younger generation looks down on us, here,”

Elder Tianli pointed at his chest.

“It’s utterly unbearable!”

The face of the old man of Heavenly Crane did not show any anger, he just quietly watched Elder Tianli.

Li Ping’an wondered to himself…

why aren’t these two communicating telepathically?

He thought for a moment, it must be that when one party speaks telepathically to the other, the latter pretends not to hear, forcing them to speak ‘openly and honestly’.

Suddenly, Li Dazhi took two steps forward.

Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal responsible for restraining Li Dazhi, was taken aback and was about to intervene.

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Elder Wen Rou, my father has something to say.”

Wen Rou was immediately unable to intervene, looking helplessly at Li Ping’an.

She couldn’t guess that this father and son would never easily let go of the Vice Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall, but directly antagonizing the old man of Heavenly Crane was somewhat improper, after all, he was the fourth Vice Hierarch of the East Alliance.

Li Dazhi rose into the sky by several feet, with Xu Sheng holding the Cangyue Bead on his left hand, standing beside Li Dazhi, ready to defend him against anyone who might attack.

Li Dazhi, with an ingenuous face, clasped his hands together: “Elder Tianli, why don’t I say a few words?”
