Immortal Father
Chapter 380 - 380 139 Loud Conspiracy and Soft Conspiracy_2

380: Chapter 139 Loud Conspiracy and Soft Conspiracy_2 380: Chapter 139 Loud Conspiracy and Soft Conspiracy_2 Li Ping’an bowed his head and sighed.

Yet Ye Zisang chuckled coldly, “Although they are unaware, they reap the benefits.

Every spirit stone they use, every elixir pill they consume, is tainted with the blood of those dozen-plus sects that were annihilated!”

The Golden Immortal of Sea Watch Sect frowned and asked, “And who might you be?”

Another Golden Immortal from Sea Watch Sect indifferently said, “The one who defeated my brother is this Li Daoist friend here.

Why, then, do you bark so furiously here?”

Ye Zisang’s face showed anger as he clasped his hands towards the sky, “My master is the Heavenly Immortal Wen Rou, my great master the elder Tianli, my father Ye Linzhan is a meritorious war general of the Human Race!

My sister Ye Lixiang is a concubine in the Emperor’s court!

Do you have any more questions?”

The three Golden Immortals frowned at the same time, while the Golden Immortal envoys and war generals who had come from the alliance grinned and squinted their eyes.

The first Golden Immortal of Sea Watch Sect who had spoken turned to look at Ye Zisang, couldn’t help but purse his lips and frown, and lowered his head to give a Daoist salute.

“My apologies.”

Li Ping’an turned his head to glance at Ye Zisang.

This guy has such a powerful background?

The Yellow Emperor’s brother-in-law?

Well, when the Yellow Emperor sought to break through to Daluo Golden Immortal, he employed dual cultivation techniques, taking numerous concubines, giving rise to the story of “Three Thousand Consorts Ascending to Heaven.”

But after his breakthrough, the Yellow Emperor treated all his concubines with respect and love, and since then, he has not taken any new ones.

Which means…

this guy and his sister are at least sixty to seventy thousand years apart in age!

Could it be that the Ye family’s uncle, after tens of thousands of years, still rides the waves unceasingly and fathered a Golden Immortal in his old age?

However, these three Golden Immortals of Sea Watch Sect are also too opportunistic.

Their change from haughtiness to deference is laughable upon reflection.

Li Ping’an said:

“The three of you, please summon all the elders of Sea Watch Sect to part ways here.

“The command I received is to lead the troops stationed in Sea Watch Sect, to thoroughly investigate whether there are any remnants of Blood Fiend Hall within, to right the wrongs within Sea Watch Sect, and this Daoist friend Zisang will assist in the entire process.

“The three of you need to go to Heaven’s Ruins to cultivate for a thousand years, which is also a rare blessing.”

The three Golden Immortals bowed together.

Because Li Ping’an had defeated their brother, their attitude towards him was cautious and careful.

Li Ping’an did not let his guard down because of this.

Those with deep schemes do not show their hostility openly.

These three, however, will be in seclusion for a thousand years, and a thousand years from now…

Wanyun Sect is unlikely to still be as it is today.

Moments later.

Streaks of light rose from Sea Watch Sect into the sky, surrounding the Cloud Boat with no way out.

An hour later.

The Cloud Boat slowly descended back to the mountain gate with the immortals of Sea Watch Sect.

The three Golden Immortal ancestors of Sea Watch Sect were ‘escorted’ by the three Golden Immortal war generals and directly transferred back to the alliance headquarters using teleportation.

Shortly after, the bell of Sea Watch Sect tolled powerfully as Heavenly Immortals and True Immortal elders awoke from their seclusion and rushed to the main hall.

But when these elders looked carefully, their expressions changed drastically.

In the main hall, two Golden Immortal envoys from the alliance and Xu Sheng, the founding patriarch of Yuan Sect, sat in the central position, accompanied by several Supreme Elders of Sea Watch Sect.

Several hundred immortal soldiers dressed in silver armor, holding long spears, stood quietly to the left and right inside the grand hall.

The enormous portrait of the founding patriarch of Sea Watch Sect slowly descended from the central hall.

A young man turned around slowly from in front of the portrait, surrounded by a blue Daoist robe, smiling gently, his clear and bright voice not loud or striking, yet it caused the hearts of all the Daoists present to tremble.

“You may not recognize me yet.”

Li Ping’an, with his hands behind his back, smiled and said:

“My name is Li Ping’an, a disciple of the Wanyun Sect, currently the third-rank inspector envoy of the alliance.

“By the order of the Alliance Hierarch, I lead five thousand immortal soldiers to be stationed at Sea Watch Sect, to investigate whether there are remnants of Blood Fiend Hall within and to correct the improper ways of Sea Watch Sect.

“In the coming months, I hope you all will cooperate well, speak what you know, and those who are guilty are your Golden Immortal ancestors.

The alliance will not wrong any Qi Cultivator of the Human Race who has a conscience.

“Oh, by the way, you may not have met me last time, but you should have met my father.

“My father, Li Dazhi.”

The immortals of Sea Watch Sect instantly remembered the slightly overweight Daoist who would splutter as he spoke, and their expressions subtly shifted.

The first and second elders, in particular, were somewhat agitated, their beards quivering.

“Please take a seat, there’s no need to be too formal, just treat this place as if it were your own sect.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly:

“Let’s begin with our first lesson now.

The special guest lecturer Ye Zisang, invited by the alliance, will talk to you about the hard-fought history of the Human Race, to learn about the fearless spirit of our heroic ancestors!”

Ye Zisang, who had been watching the spectacle on the side, glared at Li Ping’an but was not shy about taking centre stage.

He directly undid his Daoist robe, put on the seventh-rank emissary robe of the alliance, then tied up his hair with a crown and stepped forth.

Approaching Li Ping’an, Ye Zisang squeezed through his teeth in a whispered transmission, “Next time, say it earlier!”

“Don’t embarrass your sister, Uncle Emperor Ye,” Li Ping’an teased.

Ye Zisang’s mouth twitched, and he then walked forward to take his seat, imitating the manner of elder Tianli’s lectures, and began to recount the arduous journey of the ancient Human Race.

Li Ping’an, in turn, was more at ease, strolling around with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the tourist.

…

“Ah~ so refreshing!”

Elder Tianli, having just returned to the alliance headquarters, hummed a tune he heard from Dong’an City, strolling towards a side hall with his hands behind his back.

When in a bad mood, all he needed to do was to find that Li Dazhi, to exercise a bit, give some guidance on his cultivation, help him solidify his Dao Foundation (note: physical), and secure his realm, and his mood would greatly improve.

Not to mention, his own daughter, who had previously been somewhat despondent, had also made a good friend.

That Heavenly Immortal, Qing Su, with his upright and pure nature, pure Dao heart, worthy of a Golden Immortal, and with the bearing of an ancient, was truly a rare and valuable prospect.

Placing his daughter by Qing Su’s side, elder Tianli was completely reassured.
