473: Chapter 168 The Four Trusted Aides, Human Emperor’s Dragon Qi!_2 473: Chapter 168 The Four Trusted Aides, Human Emperor’s Dragon Qi!_2 ——Even masters can have their lapses; having more protectors is always a good thing.

Li Ping’an finally found an opportunity and took the initiative to say, “The four of you can put that down; just leave the treasures be.”

“Alright!

Sure!”

Xing He and Xinghan, the two brothers, circled around the Feng family’s lady and placed the tray in front of Li Ping’an, then each stepped back half a step, casually folding their hands behind them as they stood at Li Ping’an’s back.

The Dao Charm of two Heavenly Immortals guarded Li Ping’an, immediately filling his heart with comfort.

This is what you call professional.

Feng Tingzhu bowed slightly forward, setting a tray in front of Li Ping’an.

It held a triangular small flag and beside it a piece of jade with a small line of words:

[Postnatal Spiritual Treasure, Spirit-Slicing Banner (made in imitation of the Five Directions Banner)].

Feng Tingzhu turned around and walked towards Feng Zhansiang, whispering softly, “Zhansiang, don’t lose your manners in front of the Inspector.”

Li Ping’an had thought that the round-faced, muscular girl would lose her temper;

Instead, she sighed softly, bowed her head, and placed the scabbard of the Xuanyuan sword in front of Li Ping’an.

Then silently and without a word, she moved to the side of the table, her eyes somewhat unfocused.

‘That’s right, she is a war general who has come back from the front lines; one must obey orders without question.’

In that case, the four trusted aides of his also held some mysteries.

Xing He and Xinghan were trusted aides of Elder Tianli; as long as he and Elder Tianli were on the same side, the two brothers could be trusted implicitly.

Feng Tingzhu and Feng Zhansiang were directly sent over by Fenghou; the former was a capable Heavenly Immortal war general, while the latter was the granddaughter of Fenghou, with a profound background and strong abilities.

Li Ping’an carelessly pulled over a chair and placed it behind Feng Zhansiang.

Li Ping’an solemnly said, “General Feng, please take a seat.

Although you were sent to me as a protector, I understand the intentions of Minister Feng.”

“Oh?”

Feng Zhansiang looked at Li Ping’an, her eyes full of confusion, and murmured:

“The intentions of the divine minister?”

“The Eastern Alliance is currently expanding its magical treasure reserves; it appears that the next campaign against the Western Continent is imminent.”

Li Ping’an said gently:

“I am aware that Minister Feng values me, but within the Eastern Alliance, one cannot stand firm without military merits.

As a second-grade Inspector, I’m afraid I’ll also be sent to the front lines of the Western Continent.

“Minister Feng probably just wants the general to teach me how to lead troops and slay demons.

“Compared to the four of you, I’m nothing more than a civil official.”

A glimmer of light shone in Feng Zhansiang’s eyes as she nodded slightly upon hearing this.

She said, “Although I know that the Inspector’s words are meant to comfort me, they do indeed make me feel much happier.

You don’t need to go to any extra trouble; with the divine minister’s orders, I shall comply.

From now on, I will not leave your side and will protect the Inspector’s safety even at the cost of my life.”

He Xinghe let out a loud shout: “The same goes for me!”

He Xinghan gave his own brother a glare: “Who asked you?

Don’t blabber nonsense!”

Wen Rou couldn’t help but smile, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly became more cheerful.

Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal, said softly, “Ping’an, you have worked hard this time.

You should rest now.

Why don’t the four of you split into two groups and take turns guarding?

This way, it won’t interfere with your own cultivation.”

“You’ve been concerned, elder.”

Li Ping’an expressed his gratitude with a clasped fist.

Wen Rou covered her mouth with a giggle and replied softly, “Didn’t you always call me ‘Auntie’?

Calling me ‘elder’ seems a bit distant now.

It looks like your father is over there drinking with someone; I’ll go keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t drink too much and cause a scene.”

“I’ll go instead!”

Li Ping’an was about to stand up when Wen Rou pointed towards the four trays in front of him.

“Look at your treasures here; it’s best to refine Spiritual Treasures as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Wen Rou whispered something to Feng Tingzhu and Feng Zhansiang, then turned her head to look at Qing Su.

Qing Su asked, “Shall we eat?”

Wen Rou laughed, “The dishes they prepared for the Grand Wealth Immortal look quite nice.”

Qing Su stood up voluntarily, carrying the two Spirit Crabs in her hands.

“Let’s go together.

With the Protectors here for the disciple, I can relax a bit.”

Li Ping’an:…

He actually preferred having his master around for protection; that would indeed be much more comfortable.

Wen Rou and Qing Su left together on their cloud.

As they exited the secret realm, they happened to meet Gu Qingcheng, Yu Yingshu, and Chen Ting’er returning on their clouds.

These three newly enlisted immortals all appeared joyful and beaming, having clearly gained quite a lot.

Especially ‘the versatile hand’ Gu Qingcheng, who was now all smiles.

…

Inside the tent.

Li Ping’an’s gaze fell upon the sword scabbard, his hand reaching out to touch it slowly.

A five-clawed golden dragon suddenly opened its eyes, with beams of golden light bursting forth, shooting directly towards Li Ping’an’s forehead.

Li Ping’an instinctively raised his hand to protect himself and dodged backwards, but the golden light ignored all obstacles, directly piercing into his forehead.

Clang!

Li Ping’an seemed to hear a deep and heavy sound of a sword cry.

In the next moment, he found himself amidst the clouds, with mist rising in the distance and a mountain shaped like a sword rising from the ground, while cries of battle and slaughter echoed through the heavens and earth.

The sound of dragon chanting began, and nine five-clawed golden dragons spiraled through the clouds, encircling the sword-shaped mountain.

The Mana within Li Ping’an’s body suddenly became several degrees denser.

The scene before him quietly faded away, and the tray was empty.

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and introspected.

In the space of his Primordial Spirit, a sword scabbard hung vertically behind him, with nine ‘eel-sized’ golden dragons coiling around it.

The Dragon Qi of the Human Emperor, a force that repels all evils!

The Myriad Manifestation Chart and the Cangyue Bead floated around Li Ping’an, while the Subdue Mountain Seal watched from a distant corner.

The old Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart lamented, “The Xuanyuan Sword, forged by the Yellow Emperor with the collective will of the Human Race, is an exquisite instrument of slaughter among the Postnatal Spiritual Treasures.

It seems that even its scabbard is a kind of protective Spiritual Treasure.”

The youthful Artifact Spirit of the Cangyue Bead clicked its tongue, “What a pity, it lacks a bit of spirit.

The preciousness of this scabbard lies in the Dragon Qi of the Human Emperor.”
