548: Chapter 193: Willing to Work Like a Dog or a Horse!

Li Ping’an closed his eyes for a brief rest, and then a hurried Immortal general came to report.

“Sir!

The Zhao family has a multitude!

The direct relatives of Commander Zhao listed in the roster, not counting those who have exhausted their lifespans, number one hundred and seventy-two who are still alive today, of whom half have already left the secret military training realm!

Should we pursue an investigation?”

Li Ping’an glanced at the Golden Immortal with a tense expression and asked softly, “Where did those members of the Zhao family who left the secret military training realm go?”

“They are scattered all over the East Continent, mainly settling down in market towns.”

“Oh?” Li Ping’an exclaimed with surprise, “Aren’t there many descendants of the Zhao family in the military?”

The Immortal general saluted and said, “Not many, according to the city’s military records, there hasn’t been a single member of the Zhao family joining the military in the last ten thousand years.”

“What about before that?”

“In the last thirty thousand years, there have been seven or eight.”

Li Ping’an nodded and asked with a smile, “Nowadays, how many generations removed are the Zhao family members from this Golden Immortal elder?”

“According to the records, excluding two elder members of the Zhao family who have cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the majority are from the seventy-ninth to over two hundred generations.

Immortals have difficulty conceiving children, the age at which they can conceive varies, and those with lower cultivation levels also have shorter lifespans.”

Li Ping’an pondered in his heart.

Thus, aside from those two Heavenly Immortal elders, the other members of the Zhao family may not necessarily have an emotional connection with this Golden Immortal elder.

“It will be fine to invite all who can be invited over, and those who have left the secret military training realm haven’t left the East Continent after all, invite over whoever can be invited,” Li Ping’an spoke warmly, “Remember, be sure to say coordinate, assist, adjust, investigate, so that everyone is not afraid, and it’s not something to be ashamed of.”

“Yes!”

The Immortal general turned and hurriedly left.

The Golden Immortal named Zhao Linju stood up once again, and while Li Ping’an had not yet closed his eyes, he offered a saluting smile.

He said softly, “Inspector, what does this matter have to do with those descendants of mine?”

“Elder Zhao is unaware.”

Li Ping’an spoke softly:

“During the last session at this Punishment Immortal Hall, so many Immortals of the Eastern Alliance died, and even Minister Feng criticized me, saying that I was too impulsive, which put him in midair, forcing him to deal with the matter on the ground and dispose of such precious combat power.

“I must humbly accept Minister Feng’s criticism and correct my way of handling matters.

“This case of stealing from the treasury is different from those major cases of collusion with demons.

“The benefits obtained from stealing the treasury are often used on one’s own family and friends.

Today, our top priority is to find the whereabouts of the stolen Treasure Beads, to recover the financial loss for the Eastern Alliance first, and then proceed with the accountability for the crimes.

“So, I’m first letting everyone admit their mistakes.

Those who later admit their mistakes, as long as they actively fill the holes they have created, might get off lightly if the situation is minor, or they might be demoted and suspended if it’s serious.

“I see that not everyone is very active, but that’s okay, we’ll take it slow, starting with Elder Zhao’s family for the inspection.

“From the side of the Holy Mother Palace, His Majesty gave me a deadline of ten years, so there’s no need to go now.”

Having said this, Li Ping’an saluted around, then nodded at Zhao Linju with a smile, and continued to close his eyes and concentrate.

The elder Tianli in the back didn’t understand what Li Ping’an was scheming.

In the corner.

Elder Xu Sheng pondered for a moment: “What is Ping’an trying to do?”

“Scaring these people, I guess,” Qing Su replied.

“Scare them?” Xu Sheng sighed, “They are all Golden Immortals; how could they be so easily frightened?

Ping’an is letting them spit out what they’ve swallowed, but these people are still clinging to some hope, thinking that Minister Feng wouldn’t bother investigating such a minor matter.”

Qing Su thought for a moment: “I don’t know either; just watch, elder.

He will always have a solution.”

Xu Sheng, recalling the various things Li Ping’an had done before, nodded slightly.

“Let’s see what this kid is up to.

To use Dazhi’s words, this old man also needs to study properly this time.”

Outside the hall.

Ye Zisang had a conflicted face and muttered:

“This doesn’t seem like Brother Li’s style; he’s the type to act thunderously and who won’t tolerate any sand in his eyes.”

“This approach is actually correct,” Wang Shan sighed, “Try to mollify them, don’t directly offend these old Golden Immortal generals.

Each of them can summon friends and exerts tremendous pressure on the investigators.”

“Brother Wang, did you also get pressured by these old men before?”

“Indeed, even if those people had nothing to do with the Wanmo Heaven, when I investigated some Golden Immortals, other Golden Immortals would stand up…

Golden Immortals protect each other, and Golden Immortals are also precious combat power of our Human Race, in short, it’s a helpless situation.”

Wang Shan shook his head gently, his gaze at Li Ping’an filled with some understanding.

Although it couldn’t completely hide a hint of disappointment.

Inside the hall, Li Ping’an sat quietly and contentedly.

Half an hour later.

Li Ping’an suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly, “Xinghan!

Please use your magic to make it so that Elder Zhao hereafter can only watch and listen, but not speak!”

“Simple,” the elder Tianli’s sleeve sent out a ring.

The ring flew directly above Zhao Linju’s head, spreading a circle of golden light, wrapping Zhao Linju within it.

Zhao Linju frowned tightly, and outside the hall doors, streaks of light fell.

“Come in!”

“No noise!”

“Stand in your places!

Those with higher cultivation, come to the front first!”

Seventy to eighty people were ushered into the Punishment Immortal Hall by the Immortal soldiers, each with anxious expressions, catching sight of the only one standing in the Punishment Immortal Hall, their ‘forefather’ wrapped in beams of light, becoming even more terrified.

Li Ping’an got up and approached these Zhao family members.

Xing He followed closely behind.

The assembly of Immortals saw Li Ping’an take out a purple Treasure Bead with his left hand and a milky white ball with his right hand, fitting the Treasure Bead inside the ball.

As he walked, he said:

“You may not know this, but when a person lies, their Primordial Spirit shows subtle abnormalities, and there will be a faint fluctuation in the power of the Primordial Spirit.”
