[10,000 Updates Appeal for Votes!] The Hundred Refinement Sects had gathered thousands of Artifact Refiners, surging towards the archway at the entrance of Wanyun Sect.

The Wanyun Sect’s Mountain Protection Array partially opened a crack directly in front of it.

A thousand external disciples neatly marched out, forming arrays to the left and right of the sect’s entrance;

Dozens of Immortals from the thirty-six peaks soared into the sky, arranging themselves in several layers above, middle, and below.

Before long, seven to eight thousand Wanyun Sect members and disciples stood before the sect’s entrance, forming a gigantic human wall, glaring at the ‘enemy’ approaching them.

The two sides looked as though they might come to blows at the slightest disagreement.

But the possibility of such a skirmish was genuinely low.

Li Ping’an, Qing Su, and Wen Rou were hiding among the spectating Loose Cultivators, the three finding a good angle up high to take in the whole scene.

He took out a Jade Talisman for recording and hung it by his side, beginning to observe the expressions of the Wanyun Sect’s external disciples.

This was an excellent opportunity to look for an ‘insider.’

After a standoff for a moment, a loud shout came from within the crowd of sects:

“Where is Wealthy Immortal Li Dazhi of Wanyun Sect!”

Following that, there was a burst of messy reproach and cursing:

“You’ve made us smaller sects suffer!

Today, you’d better give us an explanation!”

“Wanyun Sect!

Do you really intend to cut off our means of survival!”

“Li Dazhi!

You, as a Great Fortune Holder of the Human Race, used your fortune to make it impossible for us to live!

Are you still hiding now, afraid to face people?

Come out!”

An elder of Wanyun Sect couldn’t help but burst out with a roar, “Shut up!”

His Heavenly Immortal presence spread far and wide, causing many of the cultivators who came to cause trouble to tremble in fear.

With a flick of his sleeves, his beard and hair bristling, the elder took five steps forward and angrily said:

“This is the entrance to Wanyun Sect!

By the rules of the East Continent, attacking the sect’s entrance means a life and death feud!

Today, if you have gathered here to wage war against Wanyun Sect, are we to engage in a battle to the death?”

Such roaring indeed silenced the group of Artifact Refiners inside the area.

Suddenly, a cold laugh rose from within the crowd:

“Ha, such grandeur from an elder of Wanyun Sect!

Wanyun Sect has already made it impossible for us to survive, so even if you kill us here today, it would be better than dying in misery within our own sects!

“Fellow Daoists!

Today, we have come here to demand an explanation from Wanyun Sect!

“Now that we are all here, let them strike!”

Immediately after, a group of old True Immortals and elders with white hair and deteriorating vitality emerged from the crowd of Artifact Refiners, emotionally hurling angry accusations.

There wasn’t much foul language, but some words were indeed difficult to listen to.

The elders of Wanyun Sect each furrowed their brows.

All they could do was try to intimidate these people.

If they really laid hands on this group of Artifact Refiners, the sect’s reputation would be completely ruined.

In fact, Wanyun Sect didn’t even need to make a move; if they just put on a show of about to act, these old men and old women would throw themselves to the ground, feigning serious injury.

With so many Loose Cultivators watching, the accusation of Wanyun Sect oppressing the weak would become established.

The opponent’s utterly shameless tactics left the elders, who had long been secluded in cultivation, somewhat at a loss for how to deal with the situation.

That group of elders from the Artifact Refiner sects continued to curse nonstop, and their words became increasingly unpleasant to hear.

Above them in the dark canopy boat, Li Ping’an looked at the situation and suddenly burst into laughter.

Wen Rou hastily asked, “Does young master Ping’an have a way to resolve this predicament?”

Li Ping’an turned his head to glance at his master, who was sitting quietly in meditation under the canopy, and said with a smile, “I’m not very adept at handling such situations and haven’t thought of any good solutions yet.”

“Then why are you laughing?”

“I’m laughing because Forge-Heaven Gate, the leading Artifact Refining sect, resorts to such unscrupulous measures.”

Li Ping’an sighed with a laugh:

“Such an opponent is truly difficult to deal with.

“Major sects generally find it hard to let go of their pride, always carrying themselves with dignity, concerning themselves with a shred of the great sect’s honor.

“But this Forge-Heaven Gate doesn’t care at all, using both overt and covert tactics, truly a shameless rival.”

Wen Rou spoke softly, “My father also mentioned that Forge-Heaven Gate is very difficult to deal with, and that they have a deep background…

Won’t your esteemed father show up?”

“Father is probably being restrained by the Grand Ancestor, I guess.”

Li Ping’an shook his head lightly:

“Under these circumstances, it is better for my father not to show himself unless there is a foolproof method to handle it.

“Alas!

“I just don’t know, will Forge-Heaven Gate really allow these old men who are halfway into their graves to shed some blood?

If it really comes to blood staining Wanyun Sect, it would be disgusting… truly taking disgusting to new heights.”

Wen Rou laughed softly, “You should not always learn these clever phrases from your father, who never stops with the rhymes and quips.”

Li Ping’an smiled sheepishly and continued observing the expressions of the external disciples.

He had already identified a few individuals who looked suspicious and recorded their names on the Jade Talisman, planning to later ask Elder Yansheng to arrange an investigation.

Just then, the situation suddenly changed below.

One of the elders, amidst cursing Wanyun Sect, suddenly clutched his chest, trembling all over and short of breath, he fell backward.

His companions quickly dodged aside, allowing the elder to fall upon the clouds.

The Spiritual Energy around the elder’s body rapidly dispersed, his breath growing weaker; he seemed on the verge of his Dao Body collapsing and fading away naturally!

Li Ping’an facepalmed with a few black lines on his forehead.

He sighed, “It’s always what you fear that happens.”

“Alas,” said Wen Rou softly, “Although it’s not very nice to say, these Qi Cultivators are on their deathbed and still come out to do such things, sacrificing their lifetime of reputation.

Forge-Heaven Gate has indeed gone too far.”

“Indeed.”

Li Ping’an agreed, looking down to ponder a solution to the situation.

Before he could think of an answer, several figures flew out from Wanyun Sect.

True Immortal Qing Xu with three ordinary middle-aged female immortals from Caiyun Peak, were escorting a figure extremely familiar to Li Ping’an, going straight to the side of the dying elder.
