Immortal Father
Chapter 460 - 460 164 Ping'an Sings Fenghou Echoes

460: Chapter 164 Ping’an Sings, Fenghou Echoes 460: Chapter 164 Ping’an Sings, Fenghou Echoes Blood of Immortals flowed in the grooves on the ground, and nearby hung the corpses of Immortals.

Two Vice Alliance Hierarchs knelt on the ground, the bodies of two Vice Alliance Hierarchs were hung in front of the hall.

Li Ping’an stood quietly within the sight of all the Immortals, before the myriad Immortals and a million celestial soldiers, pondered in silence as if no one else was present.

Such contemplation lasted for half an hour.

Even for a Golden Immortal, several years or months could be as brief as the flick of a finger;

But at this moment, except for the Tian Fen Daoist who had “escaped from the bitter sea,” the celestial officials of the Eastern Alliance felt every breath to be unbearably long.

Tianli the Elder, accompanied by a few other elders, took the initiative to descend in front of the hall, standing together with several Vice Alliance Hierarchs, each waiting.

A few also secretly communicated:

“Minister Feng really knows how to pose difficult questions.

With such testing, Li Ping’an is after all just a young man.”

“Alas, if Minister Feng starts a killing spree later, should we plead for mercy?”

“Plead for mercy?

How?

Be careful Minister Feng settles accounts with you.”

“I’ve never wronged anyone.”

In the blink of an eye, the time for a cup of tea had passed.

A few figures arrived on the periphery of the celestial soldiers, it was Wen Rou the Heavenly Immortal, escorted by two Golden Immortal old women, bringing along two middle-aged men.

These two men shouldn’t have been together, but at this moment they were indeed walking side by side, with a smile and a laugh.

One was naturally Li Dazhi, wearing a wig, and the other was the handsome ‘talented cultivator’ Mo Yunshen.

Upon seeing the bloody corpses hanging in front of the hall, both men’s expressions changed for a moment.

Mo Yunshen turned deathly pale; arriving here, he fully understood that today His Majesty Xuanyuan intended to cleanse the rotten flesh within the Eastern Alliance.

Li Dazhi was simply startled and couldn’t help muttering, “Damn, they really killed the Vice Alliances?”

Wen Rou asked, “Why is Ping’an standing in front of the hall?”

Tianli the Elder’s telepathic voice rang out, explaining to Wen Rou the previous matters of ‘Fenghou settling accounts’ and ‘Testing the juniors.’

Wen Rou communicated these matters to Li Dazhi via telepathy.

Li Dazhi, with hands tucked in his sleeves, sighed, “That’s really something, no matter how high you jump now, be careful about the checklist in the future.”

“Venerable Dazhi,” Wen Rou whispered, “Ping’an is currently overseeing the overall situation, so it’s inconvenient for us to meet with Ping’an right now.”

Li Dazhi nodded slowly, watching Li Ping’an’s figure, and whispered, “Venerable, what do you think Ping’an is contemplating?”

“He’s probably weighing whether to kill or spare,” Wen Rou sighed softly and said in a gentle voice, “If four Vice Alliances were lost at once, although it wouldn’t be fatal for the Eastern Alliance, it would greatly demoralize the celestial soldiers.”

Li Dazhi nodded, “That’s true, with the upper ranks rotten like this, it’s hard to ask the celestial soldiers to fight courageously.

Anyone would feel resentful.”

“Venerable Dazhi, you’re known for your wisdom, do you have any good solutions for the current situation?”

“This is hard to judge.”

After careful consideration, Li Dazhi took out a Jade Talisman and inscribed three sentences on it, then handed it to Wen Rou.

He said, “Please do me a favor and deliver this to my son.”

Wen Rou whispered, “May I take a look?”

Li Dazhi smiled, “Of course, if you can understand it.”

Wen Rou picked up the Jade Talisman and glanced at it, seeing three lines of crooked characters, for a moment she was somewhat at a loss for words.

She turned and handed the Jade Talisman to one of the old women behind her, who made her way around the onlookers and hurried to the front of the hall.

Soon after, a silver-armored celestial general approached Li Ping’an and bowed his head to present the Jade Talisman.

Li Ping’an saw the Jade Talisman emblazoned with the mark of his Wanyun Sect and was taken aback for a moment, then he lifted his hand to take the Jade Talisman, saying, “Thank you.”

Upon close inspection, a few lines of frustration appeared on his forehead.

‘woxiaxiede, wenrourangwochuzhuyi.’

‘The more power you have, the greater the responsibility.’

‘To be a person is to do what is right, and only in this way can one embrace all life.’

Li Ping’an:…

He looked down at the Jade Talisman, then sighed softly and turned to look at the Punishment Immortal Hall.

Fenghou sat upright in the main hall with eyes closed, resting.

Li Ping’an spoke out loud, “Minister Feng!

My mind is troubled, I cannot decide on this matter!”

“Oh?” Fenghou slowly opened his eyes.

A mysterious Dao Charm circulated between the two, not only not hiding anything, but instead clearly transmitting the conversation between them to the ears of all the celestial soldiers.

Fenghou asked, “What troubles you?

Feel free to speak.”

“May I ask Minister Feng!”

Li Ping’an made a respectful cultivator’s salute:

“Minister Feng, knowing such incriminations against these Vice Alliances, why did you not punish them before and waited for today!

“Just like this Vice Alliance Hierarch Tianbao!

He has enough sins to die nineteen times over, yet Minister Feng allowed him nineteen extra lifetimes.

Do these count as Minister Feng sheltering him?”

Several Vice Alliances trembled in their Dao hearts upon hearing this.

Tianli the Elder even hurriedly said, “Ping’an, don’t talk nonsense!”

“It’s fine.”

Fenghou waved his hand, stroked his beard, and chanted softly:

“If young people didn’t have high spirits, what hope would there be for our Human Race?

“Ping’an, I can tell you, if it wasn’t for you boiling the Eastern Alliance today, even if he lived long enough to deserve death twenty times, I still would not have acted.

“This is not about waiting for an opportunity; the internal situation here is quite complicated.”

Li Ping’an said, “I do not understand!

Please enlighten me, Minister Feng!”

Fenghou sighed lightly again, “It’s not something that can’t be spoken of.

Sometimes if these matters aren’t clearly explained, it’s hard to convince people.

Ping’an, do you know about the Great Battle of Pursuing the Deer?”

“Of course, I’m aware of it.”

Li Ping’an dropped his arms and said solemnly:

“The field of the Deer Pursuit, the Hundred Clans’ great war, heaven and earth shattered, the Human Race at its zenith.”

“A line lightly touched upon in the annals, yet it hides who knows how many bones.”

Fenghou’s gaze grew more distant, and he said softly:

“To win that war, we paid too much, lost too many lives.

“Today’s matter is but settling old debts from back then.”

Li Ping’an feigned confusion, “It’s been such a long time since then, how could such old debts exist?”

“Though the years are long, the legacy endures.”

Fenghou said:

“The Eastern Alliance was established just three thousand years ago, and at nine thousand years, I had personally executed a total of three Vice Alliances.
