409: Chapter 148: If Hongjun Doesn’t Slack Off 409: Chapter 148: If Hongjun Doesn’t Slack Off “Hahaha!”

Li Dazhi returned to Castcloud Hall and burst into loud laughter, drawing the curious glances of many disciples who hadn’t gone out to see the commotion.

The artifact refiners gradually dispersed, and the majority of the immortals from Wanyun Sect had started returning to the sect.

Many disciples and elders wanted to approach and exchange greetings with Li Dazhi, but just as they were about to step forward, they saw Li Ping’an flying overhead and hurrying into Castcloud Hall.

Li Ping’an was followed by a group of senior immortals from within the sect.

Several officers from Castcloud Hall, who had been working with Li Dazhi for a long time and were quite astute, immediately stepped forward to stop the group of senior brothers and uncles.

“Let’s allow Ping’an and Ancestor Dazhi to have a chat first; seeking advice later is not too late!”

“Elder Ping’an probably has important matters to discuss with Ancestor Dazhi!”

“Everyone, please be calm, be calm.

Don’t frighten Ping’an.

Alas, Ping’an is actually still a disciple!”

The elders glared at the last officer who spoke.

“Do not be disrespectful to Ping’an!”

The officer could only bow and smile apologetically, repeatedly begging forgiveness.

“Dad!”

In the inner hall of Castcloud Hall, just as Li Ping’an called out to his father, Li Dazhi turned around with a hint of surprise in his expression.

“Haha!

Ping’an!

Were you watching from the side?

Hahaha!

How was it?

Was Dad cool today?”

“Pretty cool.”

Li Ping’an responded perfunctorily and then hurriedly moved into the inner hall, pulled out the Spirit Storage Treasure, and pressed the White Tiger egg in front of him.

The White Tiger egg had cracked open slightly, revealing a sticky, fluffy little paw groping around uncertainly.

Li Ping’an’s eyes were filled with amazement as he poked his finger at the little paw, which immediately retracted.

Then, tentatively, it reached out again.

Li Ping’an grinned, pinched the little paw gently, and said softly, “Just peacefully hatch, I’m your master, here to protect you through this phase.”

After speaking, Li Ping’an sat down to the side, took out six top-grade Spirit Stones, and arranged them into a small spiritual energy gathering array.

Streams of cloud-like Spiritual Energy surged into the shell through the crack.

Li Dazhi hummed a tune as he stepped into the room, his face glowing with satisfaction.

“Ping’an is back?”

Xiaoyue’s gentle voice came from the side.

She looked much younger than she had half a year ago.

Carrying tea gracefully, she dismissed the two miscellaneous service female disciples she had brought back from the town to attend to her.

Li Ping’an stood up and bowed in greeting.

Li Dazhi cleared his throat, sat down next to the octagonal table, and said with an air of importance, “Yue’er, I need to discuss some important matters about the East Continent with Ping’an.

You may leave us for now.”

“Yes,” Xiaoyue suppressed a smile, set down the tea, and left with the tray.

Only then did Li Ping’an sit down again and muttered in dialect, “Dad…

family, the imperial throne?”

“That’s right!”

Li Dazhi adjusted his belly and laughed, “You should learn from this, there’s a lot of knowledge in here.”

Li Ping’an reminded, “Aunt Yue is a talent in business herself.

If we let Aunt Yue take charge in Dong’an City, the sect would face less pressure.”

“That’s the thing, your Aunt Yue is recovering from injuries,” Li Dazhi laughed.

“I’ll need to go to Yuan Sect later to supervise the crafting of the remaining batches of treasures, Yue’er will need to preside over Castcloud Hall.

“You’ll have to work harder and take care of the sect’s business over in Dong’an City.

“What do you think about today’s events?”

“Watched while lying down,” Li Ping’an sighed, “Dad, did we overdo it?

Others just made their move, and you’ve already launched these two big moves of partnership and distribution channels.

What will we do next, how will we make our move?”

“We must use these two methods now to stabilize the situation and win over a group of artifact refining sects to resist pressure from Forge-Heaven Gate,” Li Dazhi tapped the table, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

“The situation is much more complicated than you think.

“There were at least a thousand immortals from Forge-Heaven Gate lingering around today.

“Forge-Heaven Gate’s strategy is to provoke these rabble to fight with us.

“The artifact refiners were just bait, to force us to take action.

Ningning stepping forward was also my arrangement, using the reputation of Li Mu’s daughter to block the enemy’s sharpest attack; otherwise, if a dozen or so elders died, we would be very passive.

“There’s no way around it; the logic of respecting the dead is universal in the East Continent.

“We had to disrupt their rhythm and force out some things that Forge-Heaven Gate couldn’t respond to, in order to get through this difficult time.

“All they have to do is cause trouble here, and then they’ll have a reason to sabotage Yuan Sect’s assembly line.

The celestial soldiers stationed outside Yuan Sect, if given orders by someone at the level of Vice Alliance Hierarch or someone slightly lower, won’t stop Forge-Heaven Gate from making trouble.

“Of course, the Yellow Emperor’s concubines going to Yuan Sect is a layer of security, but it’s only one layer of security nonetheless.”

Li Dazhi sighed and said softly,

“The enemy we’re facing this time is extremely tricky.

“I didn’t think it through before, rashly accepting the order from the Alliance.

This involves the direct conflicts within the Alliance.

“Son, if it comes to a critical moment and you need to stand out as a disciple of Yunzhong to support the sect, are you willing?”

“Of course, I’m willing, feel free to use me,” Li Ping’an replied earnestly,

“Dad, Yun Zhongzi’s preaching for Wanyun Sect essentially means acknowledging Wanyun Sect as a rightful inheritance of the teachings.

“If this persona of mine can save even one disciple of Wanyun Sect, it’s worth it.”

“No, you underestimate the influence of Chan Teaching.

The title ‘Disciple of Chan Sect’ is now almost our last trump card,” Li Dazhi raised his eyebrows and said,

“Let’s not talk about that now.

“Forge-Heaven Gate got their plans temporarily disrupted by me today, and they’re likely to change tactics.

They won’t just let go.

“Their goal is actually to prevent Wanyun Sect from completely fulfilling the Alliance’s order.

Just need to make it through these two or three months.”
