…

Half a day later.

Half of the celestial officers had received their orders and left, hurrying to the five major military camps of the Eastern Alliance to marshal troops and dispatch generals.

Tian Qiong and Tian Jin, the two deputy commanders, taking the strategies derived from the exercises, hurriedly headed to Xuanyuan Palace to report to Minister Feng and confirm the overall military strategy with one main and three deputy commanders.

Li Ping’an’s mind was greatly settled.

This was the first time he had felt such a strong sense of security in the Eastern Alliance.

An elder in the house is like a treasure.

This group of human race generals, who had been fighting against the Demon Race for two eras, was each a treasure to the Human Race, so long as their nature was not corrupted and they themselves had not fallen.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to leave, he was called to a halt by the elderly Tianli, who was to preside over the headquarters of the Eastern Alliance.

Tianli said softly, “Ping’an, come here and chat.”

“Aren’t you busy, senior?”

Li Ping’an said with a smile, returning to the central area of the Immortal Palaces and sitting on a stone chair beside the old man Tianli.

An old man with white hair dressed in a vermillion wide robe, and a young Daoist in a light blue long coat, both gazed at the gates of the Immortal Palaces, looking at the now empty stone chairs.

Old man Tianli reflected, “There will be much to do next, and I don’t know how long this battle will last.”

“Will the battle be very tense?”

“The tension is certain, but most of the time will be spent on mutual probing and strategic planning.

In my experience, the more troops involved in the battle array, the more cautious the commander will be when giving orders.

Sometimes, an advantage in a marginal situation can trigger a complete collapse across the board.”

Old man Tianli chuckled, his gaze distant:

“Although we always say that the Hundred Clans are a motley crew, some of them are tough opponents.”

“When you encounter an unfamiliar opponent, you must be doubly cautious, because you might end up being too clever by half.

Sometimes, a single command given by the general can lead to the loss of tens of thousands of troops.”

“Let’s talk about your father instead.”

“My father?”

A few more notes of caution resounded within Li Ping’an.

Old man Tianli lifted his hand and grasped Li Ping’an’s arm as if to prevent him from running off.

Tianli said, “You just heard them; they have already started to target your father.

Those Demon Kings are not fools.

They didn’t specify what they would do, but I’m afraid they might launch a surprise attack on Wanyun Sect.”

Li Ping’an let out a sigh of relief.

He had been startled, thinking that senior Tianli wanted to use his own father as bait to lure the big fish of the Demon Race.

Li Ping’an pondered aloud, “I’ll write a letter later.

No, I’ll return to Wanyun Sect later and invite my father to the central military camp of the Eastern Alliance?”

“The military camp is not suitable,” Tianli conveyed in a hushed voice, “It would be best to find a way to send your father to Xuanyuan Palace…

Inside the headquarters of the Eastern Alliance, there are still shadows from the west, and if the Demon Race sees your father as the former emperor, they will stop at nothing to destroy your father.”

Li Ping’an frowned, “The Xuanyuan emperor faced the same situation?”

“Indeed, when Emperor Xuanyuan first revealed his own fortune, Youxiong Nation was still a small country, yet it attracted the campaign of more than ten ancient nations of the Hundred Clans.

Had it not been for Emperor Shen Nong’s timely intervention, sending troops to protect Youxiong Nation, it would have been obliterated.”

Old man Tianli sighed:

“Your father’s Great Fortune is said to have been implicated in the Dao Immortal Tribulation, but the Demon Race might not care about these things.

“Also, Ping’an, when you make new policies later, remember to include the surrounding small worlds.”

Old man Tianli said earnestly:

“These years, we’ve been focusing on the Western Continent and the Northern Land, neglecting the three thousand small worlds outside.”

“In ancient times, the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan, and other dominators of the world fought fiercely, shattering the ancient land, and many fragments were flung out.

Inside the membrane of the world, in the Void, those fragments evolved into small worlds.”

Li Ping’an nodded slowly, smiling, “The Three Thousand Worlds, I am quite familiar with that phrase.”

“Three Thousand Worlds?”

Old man Tianli’s eyes brightened: “This phrase does have a nice ring of Dao Charm to it.”

“Senior,” Li Ping’an asked, “is there anything specific I can do with the Demon Race’s full-scale military deployment?”

“You are the Inspector personally appointed by the emperor, and you have the Xuanyuan Sword Token and the Xuanyuan Sword Scabbard, so there is no one more suitable than you to preside over the rear army as the Military Governor.

Only…”

Old man Tianli looked Li Ping’an up and down:

“Your Dao Realm really is a problem…

That truly makes it difficult for people to accept.

“I know you are being suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, but this isn’t something we can proclaim loudly to the soldiers.

“The issue of strength doesn’t depend on having many reasons.”

Li Ping’an nodded, “Then I’ll just stay quietly at the back.”

Old man Tianli said, “Stay there.

After all, you are too young.

Let’s get back to your father’s matter.

Try to persuade him to stay at Xuanyuan Palace for a while.”

“Alright,” Li Ping’an said, frowning, “but I’m worried that my father might be a bit stubborn.”

“Just tell him that if he stays at Wanyun Sect, he could attract disaster to the sect.”

“Xuanyuan Palace is indeed a good place to hide, surely there are many experts inside.”

Li Ping’an smiled and sighed:

“Thank you for your concern, senior.

I will set off immediately to go to Wanyun Sect.”

“I will continue making military arrangements.

Now that you have trusted aides to protect you, I won’t worry about your security.”

Old man Tianli patted Li Ping’an’s arm, slowly stood up, and with his hands behind his back, walked toward the hall door, humming a leisurely tune.

Li Ping’an sat in a daze for a while, but did not dare to delay.

He got up from the Soldier Immortal Hall, took Xing He, Xinghan, Tingzhu, and Zhanchuang with him, left the headquarters of the Eastern Alliance, and hurried to Wanyun Sect.

…

Half a day later.

“What?

Go to Xuanyuan Palace?”

Li Dazhi looked at the son who was peeling an orange in front of him and casually put on a wig.
