It is inevitable that the Human Race will step into the worlds beyond the heavens, and the conflict between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans will continue.”

“Then we’ll just have to fight them.”

Cailin the Great said indifferently, “The victorious survive, and the weak perish.

Such is the natural order of the world.”

“Cailin, what I mean to say is that perhaps we could try a different approach in our dealings with the Human Race.

Reigniting the war would only lead to more deaths.”

“Senior Mo,” Cailin the Great whispered, “You have been advising since the ancient times, but what has it achieved?

The Hundred Clans slay the Human Race, the Human Race retaliates against the Hundred Clans, and then the cycle repeats.

Both sides are now deeply entrenched in a sea of blood with unresolvable hatred.”

The elder said, “But Cailin, the death of your parents and kin…”

“The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan killed my entire family.

Shouldn’t I kill his in return?”

Cailin the Great lifted her head slightly:

“I know my strength is not yet sufficient.

I will diligently cultivate and, one day, I will be able to defeat the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!”

The elder asked, “Then why don’t you think about who is spreading these rumors on purpose, luring you out?”

Upon hearing this, Cailin the Great lowered her head in contemplation.

A look of relief appeared on the elder’s face.

At last, this little snake was willing to use her brain and start thinking.

She had always been naive, as were her followers…

Cailin the Great muttered, “That Li Ping’an really doesn’t resemble the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.”

The elder’s expression almost collapsed as he hurriedly said, “They have nothing to do with each other!

Li Ping’an has the backing of the high-ranking members of the Chan Teaching!”

“So who is plotting against me?”

Cailin the Great muttered, “My enemies, aside from the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, I have killed with my own hands.”

“Stop thinking about killing all the time!

You need to cultivate your mind and character, understand?

Come, from now on you’ll cultivate by my side!”

The elder waved his hand grandly, directly bringing Cailin into his sleeve.

He turned and strode away, his figure dissipating into a wisp of black smoke.

In the Void, Cailin the Great was still murmuring something.

“Senior Mo, I have many things to do and cannot follow you to cultivate.”

“You are grounded!

You’ve come to the East Continent twice now, and each time, you have caused slaughter.

If this continues, even I won’t be able to save you in the future.”

“Why should Senior Mo bother saving me?

Moreover, Senior Mo, those high-ranking members of the Hundred Clans you wanted to save before…

didn’t they all die in the end?

I’ve heard them say…

If the Human Race attacks, I’ll perish along with them.”

“If you can’t say anything sensible, keep your mouth shut!”

“Oh.”

…

After returning to Dong’an City, Li Dazhi began to bustle about busily.

Li Ping’an, however, managed to find some leisure time, returned to his residence, erected a sunshade, and lay down to discuss Taoist philosophy with Daoist Zisang.

Wen Ling’er’s little legs scurried back and forth, serving tea and snacks to these two gentlemen, and also cooking meals for the two Heavenly Immortal sisters in the house.

“Impressive.”

Ye Zisang raised a thumbs-up and clicked his tongue lightly:

“With such ease, you subdued the Vice Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall.

Knowing my master as I do, he would certainly have caused a huge commotion.

This Vice Hall Master won’t live much longer, and Blood Fiend Hall will definitely be uprooted.”

Li Ping’an popped a crimson Immortal Fruit into his mouth and asked, “Will this affect Wanmo Heaven?”

“The impact should be minimal.

Blood Fiend Hall was just a peripheral power of Wanmo Heaven.”

Ye Zisang sighed and then said with a smile:

“However, this matter will affect the old Heavenly Crane.

This Fourth Vice Alliance Hierarch should keep quiet for a while, and my master should be able to flex his muscles.”

“Uncle Li’s three questions truly made us feel ashamed.”

“If the Eastern Alliance is not self-cleansing, how can it lead so many of the Human Race in the East Continent?”

“Brother Li, with your talents in managing worldly affairs, why not ride the winds and struggle against the Eastern Alliance’s internal corruption?”

Li Ping’an waved his hand, “Forget it, I’m really not cut out for that.”

Ye Zisang laughed and said regretfully, “If you’re not, then I’m completely wasting my time.”

“This time, it was Blood Fiend Hall and Sea Watch Sect who caused me trouble.

I merely fought back.”

Li Ping’an, gazing at the stars over the East Sea through two layers of formation barriers, said slowly:

“Today, if my father hadn’t stood up, it would have been me.

If I had stood up, I wouldn’t have just asked three questions.

“There is too much injustice in this world, and I understand that.

“What I cannot understand, though, is knowing that the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall was so wicked that even a thousand cuts would not be enough, yet the Vice Alliance Hierarch above had so much confidence that he could save him.

“Minimize major issues and dismiss minor ones.

Punish oneself with three drinks and then dare to do it again?”

“Brother Ye, look at this.”

Li Ping’an tossed a Jade Talisman over to him.

Ye Zisang caught the talisman and after examining it, his eyes brightened as he said earnestly, “Brother Li, why not present this talisman?

The collusion of Demon Cultivators with demons described herein is clear and well-evidenced; it is enough to serve as a model petition.”

“It’s useless.”

Li Ping’an took the talisman back and casually crushed it.

Ye Zisang stood up anxiously, “Brother Li!

Why did you destroy it?”

“It’s a useless thing.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes could not hide his disappointment as he said slowly:

“What we can see, the Alliance Hierarch and the Vice Hierarchs can see, as can the Golden Immortals and the other officials.

“My life has not been long.

From Wan’an City to Wanyun Sect, the world has always seemed peaceful and just to me.”

“Yet the affair of Blood Fiend Hall has suddenly exposed the true nature of this world, which is survival of the fittest, brutally so.

“So brutal that, if I hadn’t sought help from the Tianli senior in advance, making various arrangements, those who fought against the fiends of Blood Fiend Hall today would have died or been injured in vain.”

“That Heavenly Crane old man, with just a ‘let’s look into it further,’ could erase all our efforts.”
