401: Chapter 146: Hundreds Unite Against the Wanyun Sect!

The two sects were embroiled in fierce competition when an entourage from the East Alliance arrived.

These dozens of officials’ wives from the East Alliance might not intimidate Forge-Heaven Gate,

but the timing of the arrival of those two consorts of the Yellow Emperor was impeccable!

Upon hearing the news, Li Ping’an’s initial reaction was that the elder Tianli had arranged for “real” Heavenly Soldiers to “protect” Wei Yuan Sect’s production line, but then he had second thoughts and felt something was off.

After all, Elder Tianli was just the third Vice Alliance Hierarch of the East Alliance, and in the grand scheme of the Human Race, he was no more than an ordinary bearded general;

In the whole East Alliance, only the Alliance Hierarch was qualified to stand among the Yellow Emperor’s ministers, and even then, at the very end of the line;

How could Elder Tianli alone invite the Yellow Emperor’s consorts?

Although the Yellow Emperor had many consorts, it was rare to hear of them moving around the world.

‘Could there be some inside story here?’

Despite his doubts, Li Ping’an dared not neglect the spouses of the supreme rulers of heaven and earth.

He hurried to Elder Yansheng to instruct him that if any loose cultivators gathered to cause trouble later, they should just abandon the shop and record the situation from multiple angles and positions, which would be very useful later.

A shop could be rebuilt if smashed, at most it would just cost some spirit stones;

As long as the servant disciples in the shop weren’t killed or injured, it wouldn’t be considered a serious matter.

Afterward, Li Ping’an invited his master to accompany him to greet the guests outside the city.

A huge Cloud Boat was suspended above the valley.

Over a hundred zhang long, the Cloud Boat was in a commonly seen multi-storied ship style in the East Continent, with a large mass of white clouds gathered beneath it due to the Formation.

To the left and right of the Cloud Boat were two teams of Heavenly Soldiers, numbering a thousand in total, led by two Heavenly Immortal Realm generals in silver armor.

Li Ping’an wondered to himself, were the emperor’s consorts traveling with so many officials’ wives without even a single Golden Immortal Realm general in golden armor for protection?

When he got close to the Cloud Boat and entered a thin barrier, the answer to this question immediately became clear.

The Artifact Spirit of the Cangyue Bead warned him of seven Golden Immortal auras and forty-two Heavenly Immortal auras hidden on the Cloud Boat!

And they were all gathered in the topmost layer, within the floral hall!

Li Ping’an’s lips twitched slightly.

These young matrons practically strutted around the East Continent; if any major demon attempted to ambush them, they could simply call out, draw their swords and fight, not needing any Golden Immortal guards!

—— Most of these East Alliance officials’ legitimate wives had been fighting since ancient times, becoming Dao companions with these officials, and some might even have been former generals who retired to tend to their families.

“Qing Su, my dear sister, Ping’an, my dear nephew!”

A familiar voice reached his ears as Wen Rou, a Heavenly Immortal, approached on a cloud.

Several divine senses probed from the Cloud Boat, locking onto Li Ping’an;

Li Ping’an instinctively stood tall and proud, anxious not to dishonor the Wanyun Sect or his father.

Wen Rou warmly linked arms with Qing Su, inquiring about her recent well-being;

Qing Su’s mood did not fluctuate much, showing her fondness for her ‘foodie friend’ with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to inquire, Wen Rou proactively sent him a message:

“Nephew Ping’an, there are two consorts of the Yellow Emperor inside.

Remember to perform the courtesies of bowing later, as the Yellow Emperor does not like people to kneel.”

“Also, since you are a man, do not keep staring at the two ladies.”

“There’s a gathering for us women in the Xuanyuan palaces today.

One of the ladies is my teacher, and I mentioned your Wanyun Sect’s Artifact Refining methods, which piqued their interest.

I took the opportunity to invite them to come and observe the production line technique.

“The artifacts needed by the East Alliance must be perfect.

You should also inform Wei Yuan Sect to prepare, have a few female Immortals handle the reception, as the two ladies should not meet external guests.”

Li Ping’an immediately bowed in thanks.

This whole arrangement turned out to be orchestrated by Auntie Wen Rou!

With a smile and a wink, Wen Rou pulled Qing Su inside, leaving Li Ping’an behind.

Li Ping’an thought about it and decided to simply perform a formal bow outside the big ship, then said loudly:

“East Alliance Inspector Li Ping’an, hereby greets the esteemed ladies!

Wei Yuan Sect lies to the north; I shall lead the way ahead for the ladies!”

From the floral hall on top came a gentle female voice: “Great Enlightenment Quasi-Immortal, come inside and rest as well.

We are all old enough to be your grandmothers, why bother with such formality?

Who knows, we might even have breakthroughs today.”

Another elder woman laughed:

“My lady, the Inspector always follows protocol, and external ministers should not meet with you so casually.

Let him lead the way in front.”

The gentle female voice said with a laugh: “That makes sense, then we’ll have to trouble the distinguished Inspector.”

Li Ping’an bowed again towards the floral hall, then turned and descended in front of the Heavenly Soldiers to stand beside a silver-armored Immortal general.

“Greetings, Inspector.”

The silver-armored Immortal general saluted Li Ping’an with a cupped-fist gesture and stealthily gave him a thumbs-up.

The world usually couldn’t resist taking a peek when hearing of the Yellow Emperor’s consorts, but Li Ping’an was straightforward, not even entering the floral hall.

Li Ping’an returned the salute with a smile and quietly used a precious communication Jade Talisman to write a few lines, relaying the message to his father.

The two Heavenly Immortal generals on either side simultaneously activated the Formation at the bottom of the Cloud Boat; it was enveloped in layers of immortal light, and then, with clouds trailing, it shot northward, its speed comparable to that of a True Immortal’s escape speed.

Standing within these layers of immortal light, one couldn’t feel any jolts; the acceleration process was remarkably smooth.

“Inspector,” whispered the Heavenly Immortal general, leaning in to transmit, “Brother Ye asked me to pass on a message to you.

He’s preoccupied with a breakthrough in seclusion and couldn’t make it here to lend support.”

“Oh?” Li Ping’an smiled with narrowed eyes.

The general transmitted, “Forge-Heaven Gate has earned many spirit stones in the East Alliance over the years, and more than half of the Vice Alliance are quite discontent with them.”

Li Ping’an nodded slowly and replied, “Thank you, General.

Please visit Dong’an City later; fine wine awaits you.”
