376: Chapter 138: Graciously Declining the Vice League’s Intentions, Ping’an Approaches Guanhai 376: Chapter 138: Graciously Declining the Vice League’s Intentions, Ping’an Approaches Guanhai The Tianli elder rushed to Dong’an City in the middle of the night, intending to find Li Dazhi.

The East Alliance wanted to conduct some ‘military trade’ with Wanyun Sect.

However, when the Tianli elder arrived and entered the grand formation of Li Ping’an’s small courtyard, his old face immediately darkened.

Goodness gracious, five thousand immortal soldiers were waiting just outside the city, while two Golden Immortal sponsors and three Golden Immortal commanders of the East Alliance were glowing red with drunkenness, clinking glasses with Li Dazhi, addressing each other as brothers, and reveling in drink and conversation!

The Tianli elder was both amused and annoyed.

He had sent people here in a rush before to call upon Li Ping’an to station at the Sea Watch Sect, coordinating with the East Alliance’s overall action to eradicate the Blood Fiend Hall.

As a result…

These folks hadn’t even left the gates of Dong’an City!

Wasn’t the warrant for Blood Fiend Hall issued by the East Alliance because of Li Ping’an’s report?

Eradicating Blood Fiend Hall was mainly the joint effort of this father-and-son duo and the Wanyun Sect, wasn’t it?

Now, at the final stage, they were strangely nonchalant!

The old face of the Tianli elder turned as black as the bottom of a pot, he kicked open the dining hall window and jumped in through the window frame.

Clang, clang went the noise as dishes and utensils flew all over the table.

“Vice, Vice Alliance Hierarch!”

“Your subordinate pays respects to the Vice Alliance Hierarch!”

“Your subordinate, *hiccup*, pays respects to the Vice Alliance Hierarch!”

The Tianli elder cursed, “Drink, drink, drink!

Aren’t you worried about delaying matters?

What a fine mess you’ve made, Li Dazhi!

Our commanders can only drink once a year!”

Li Dazhi said with a smile, “Oh, elder, please don’t be so strict.

Look, we’ve prepared sober-up elixir pills here.

Just one pill and we won’t delay any East Alliance orders!”

The Tianli elder was just about to scold when Li Dazhi bowed his head to listen.

By his side, Elder Xu Sheng stroked his beard, softly chanting, considering whether to plead for Li Dazhi.

Li Ping’an and Ye Zisang rushed over from the next-door study.

Seeing the situation, Li Ping’an quickly said, “Elder, this is my fault!

I suggested everyone wait a bit before going to the Sea Watch Sect!”

“Oh?” The Tianli elder’s expression softened slightly as he asked with hands behind his back, “Why is that?”

“Inside Sea Watch Sect, there are at most a few small fish left.

That Ghost Face Fiend and the Vice Hall Master have already been executed.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly:

“The Sea Watch Sect ranks among the top ten sects in the East Continent, and they have a large number of disciples and members.

Since the last time the immortals from our Wanyun Sect pressed upon their sect, it’s evident that most of the disciples and members within the Sea Watch Sect are good.”

“It’s not as if the Sea Watch Sect is as pure as a white lotus flower, of course.

The remaining three of their four Great Golden Immortals must have been aware of the Blood Fiend Hall’s affairs.”

“Therefore, I said we should go later, and I even had someone disperse such news beforehand to give the Sea Watch Sect time to accept this development.”

“The founder they trust, their ancestor, turned out to be a demonic creature of Blood Fiend Hall, surely shattering their Dao hearts.”

“Our goal in eliminating Blood Fiend Hall is to make the Human Race of the East Continent more prosperous, not to weaken the strength of the East Continent.

I don’t hold too many prejudices against the Sea Watch Sect, and I wish for them to correct their mistakes and do their best to make amends for their founder’s transgressions.”

The Tianli elder, upon hearing these words, changed his expression from gloomy to grave, from grave to realization.

He sighed and spoke gravely, “Ping’an’s painstaking efforts are clear to me, I should not have reprimanded you all earlier…

bring me an extra bowl and chopsticks!”

The two sponsors and three commanders heaved a sigh of relief in unison.

Li Dazhi called out with a laugh, “Sit by me here!

Plenty of room!”

“Hmph!

You!

You should learn from your son!”

“Ah, yes, yes, everything you’ve scolded and warned about is absolutely correct,” said Li Dazhi with a sheepish smile, making way at the main seat and turning his head to beckon for Wen Ling’er to bring more tableware.

Meanwhile, outside, Minister Weiyen hurriedly went to the city to gather a selection of mountain and sea delicacies.

At that moment, in the military camp outside the city, the Wanyun Sect in the name of Loose Cultivators set up a lavish banquet to thank the East Alliance immortal soldiers for protecting Dong’an City, quickly replacing a table of food and drinks.

Li Ping’an had questions to ask, so he took a seat to accompany them.

Heavenly Immortal Wen Rou stood behind her father, pouring wine and serving dishes for the Tianli elder.

—The East Alliance’s drinking prohibition only applied to Military Generals.

Li Dazhi first raised his glass three times, and then everyone started to freely toast each other.

Li Ping’an leaned close to the Tianli elder and whispered, “Elder, why was the kill so quick this time?”

“Who?

Are you referring to that Vice Hall Master?”

The Tianli elder drained his cup in one gulp and sighed:

“Someone sacrificed the pawns to protect the king, fearing he would reveal who the real Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall is.

“After shattering his Primordial Spirit, ninety-nine percent of his memories were retrieved.

All information about the Blood Fiend Hall was intact, but the memories related to the actual Hall Master had been conveniently erased.”

Li Ping’an frowned deeply, “Was it Elder Heavenly Crane who did it?”

“Don’t worry,” the Tianli elder didn’t directly answer, “The only thing we didn’t get, the memory of the Hall Master, has no direct connection to Heavenly Crane.

He merely did not want the matter to blow up.”

Li Ping’an voiced his confusion: “Listening to you, elder, it seems like there are quite a few bad people at the highest levels of the East Alliance?”

“Alas, they are not exactly bad people, just that there are disagreements…

let’s not talk about it, the cause is very complicated, too complex to be explained in a few words.”

The Tianli elder picked up a piece of spirit beast meat, his beard getting a bit greasy, and continued:

“After getting the memories of the Vice Hall Master, I dispatched thirty-six Golden Immortals, each leading a troop, to assault and surround the hideouts and contact points of the Blood Fiend Hall.

Two big demons out of eighteen Blood Fiends escaped, but the rest have been wiped out.

“When I arrived, the troops had already returned.

The Blood Fiend Hall is basically gone, and for the two big demons that escaped, I will also arrange for someone to go to the Western Continent and dispose of them, leaving no future troubles.

“By the way, is that Message Passing Elder dead?”

Elder Xu Sheng bowed and said, “Vice Alliance Hierarch, the Message Passing Elder self-immolated his Primordial Spirit before he was captured by Zhan Yuan and myself.”

“Tsk, they even turned loyal in the end.”
