After the fire incident, on the sixth night.

The secret hall of the Eastern Alliance was crowded with figures.

The Alliance Hierarch Tian Fen, along with the first, second, and third deputies, all appeared, with dozens of elders with white hair, some standing, some sitting.

On the main seat, an old woman who had shriveled in form frowned as she listened to reports from those beside her, her eyes also filled with layers of puzzlement.

She murmured, “The fairy…

from Xuanyuan Palace…”

The Alliance Hierarch Tian Fen sighed, “We also can’t verify whether it was someone His Majesty sent.”

“Is it not obvious?

Why would His Majesty fuss over such trifles?

It must be some noble who sent someone to deliver a message to Li Ping’an.”

Tianli, the elder, picked up the tea, brought it to his lips, then tossed the teacup onto a side table, slapping his thigh as he stood up: “I’ll go ask Ping’an!”

“Hey!”

The second deputy grabbed Tianli’s arm and pressed him back into his seat.

“What’s there to ask!

Don’t you think it’s chaotic enough already!”

“If Li Ping’an wanted to tell you, he would’ve come to you directly…

Think about it, why would he meet your daughter and disciple but avoid you?”

Tianli frowned and said, “He thinks I am too intimidating!”

“Nonsense!”

The second deputy sprayed spit in Tianli’s face:

“He’s reminding you!

You’re not clean either!

Didn’t you hear what he said to Zisang?

‘Make the cut when necessary!’ He’s advising you!”

“What’s wrong with me!”

Tianli glared and cursed:

“I conduct myself honorably and stand upright; my heart holds only His Majesty, His Majesty, and His Majesty!

“Those filthy deeds they commit, can’t be pinned on my head!”

The old woman in the center said softly, “To see it without stopping it, is as good as indulging it; you and I are indeed guilty of dereliction of duty.”

The elders all fell silent.

Someone asked, “Your Highness, is His Majesty really going to disband the Eastern Alliance?”

The old woman shook her head slowly: “A long time ago, I heard such claims that the Southern Continent is cut off from the East Continent, and the Eastern Alliance can’t control the whole East Continent.

It was proposed to establish the Human Race Immortal Dynasty, but then the issue was dropped as the Human Race’s fortune gathered in the Southern Continent.”

Suddenly, Tianli said, “I remember now!”

“What?”

“When I accompanied His Majesty on the undercover visit to Dong’an City, Li Ping’an’s pretty master once mentioned something during a conversation with her father’s companion.”

“No!” The second deputy frowned, “Master, father, companion, why does this relationship sound so messy?”

An elder said, “The young people these days like to be flamboyant, different from the old rule where one stick meant marriage.”

“Don’t digress!”

Eastern Alliance Hierarch Tian Fen urged, “What is it?

Speak up, Tianli!”

“Li Ping’an’s reforms, namely setting up an inspection office in the marketplace, was not really his new policy.

It was just something Li Ping’an had thought about for a long time to increase the Eastern Alliance’s influence in the East Continent and to offer protection to Loose Cultivators.”

Tianli said in a low voice:

“Li Ping’an has even greater reforms in mind!

It’s very likely to be the reform of the civil administration!

“No wonder, as soon as this youngster came to the Eastern Alliance, he had me arrange for him to go down to the grassroots to toughen up and observe the operation of the entire alliance.

“He chatted with His Majesty alone for half an hour…

an hour, when has His Majesty ever chatted alone with a man he’s meeting for the first time for that long?

“Yes, this fire incident has given him the direct reason to act.”

The hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The elders, who were originally prepared to see those from the so-called ‘Western Faction’ and ‘Nüwa Palace Faction’ suffer, now had somewhat changed their expressions.

If it really is so…

“Gentlemen, what should we do about this?”

The old woman in the center sighed softly, “Let’s not make wild guesses anymore.

If Emperor Father wishes to reform the Eastern Alliance, all we have to do is fully cooperate.”

The Eastern Alliance Hierarch also sighed, “I am not a person who clings to power; I can do without the position of Alliance Hierarch.

Let’s just follow His Majesty’s will…

Tighten the security around Ping’an; Tianli, you pick more skilled people to protect him in secret.”

“Okay.”

Tianli responded, his head bowed in thought, his expression heavy with concerns.

Two hours later.

A piece of news had already spread within the Eastern Alliance.

[His Majesty personally appointed Li Ping’an as the Third-Rank Inspector and Captain of Ten, to allow Li Ping’an to reform the civil administration and transform the Eastern Alliance into the Human Race’s second court.]

[The first step in reforming the civil administration is to eliminate the corruption within the Eastern Alliance.]

Tianli paced back and forth in his own chamber, several elders by his side also deep in thought.

Such a scene was taking place in over a dozen locations within the Eastern Alliance headquarters.

Tianli sighed, “Why won’t even Ping’an see me?

Does he not trust me?”

An elder said, “It’s more a matter of propriety than trust, Alliance Third.”

“Alliance Third, if it’s really like the rumors say, this could be an opportunity.”

“Yes, Alliance Third, the Eastern Alliance is indeed too loose to manage the entire East Continent, and the East Continent is not the same as it was 60,000 or 70,000 years ago.”

“What opportunity, nonsense!

Am I obsessed with office?”

Tianli spoke resolutely, then sighed deeply:

“If he’s using the arson case as a starting point, it will inevitably involve the Nüwa Palace Faction.

There are many people in the Nüwa Palace Faction.

If the Eastern Alliance is crippled, what will happen to the warfare in the Western Continent?

“Although I have indulged those people in acting recklessly, it’s because they were still useful.

“Clear or murky, who can be without fault?

“Yet such an excuse is ultimately flawed logic.

If the Eastern Alliance tolerates dirty and muddy affairs, unable to uphold justice, then how can the great sects of the East Continent not follow suit?

If it were not for the fact that the Blood Fiend Hall somehow escaped reckoning in the past, how would there be such a gathering place for fierce demons?”

The elders nodded to each other.

An elder laughed, “The division of factions is also quite ingenious: Imperial Guards, Western Faction, Nüwa Faction.

It succinctly summarizes our identities.”
