555: Chapter 195: The One Who Solves the Problem [Third Update, Seeking Votes~]_2 555: Chapter 195: The One Who Solves the Problem [Third Update, Seeking Votes~]_2 Wang Shan looked over curiously, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Xu Sheng, the elder, stepped out of the cabin with the new wooden tray crafted for the Cangyue Bead, looking around.

The Tianli elder sighed, “If the Holy Mother were at home, would we be so passively on the defensive right now?

Now, we must conceal some of our strength and not let the Demon Race believe they have grasped our bottom line.”

“We still have strength to hide?”

Qing Su spoke softly,

“Our Human Race has resisted the fierce onslaught of the Hundred Clans on its own, and yet we still have spare strength.”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Master, think about it.

Since Suiren, the first Human Emperor, our Human Race has had three Human Emperors, each a paragon king who established extraordinary achievements.

And each Human Emperor had a set of administrative aides.

Those active in the world today are just the aides from Emperor Xuanyuan’s time.”

Qing Su suddenly understood, “I had indeed overlooked such a matter.”

However, the Tianli elder shook his head with a somber expression, “Indeed, this is our current reliance, but this is not something we can easily utilize.

If we do, it will truly become difficult afterward.”

Two Golden Immortal generals couldn’t help but say,

“If it were not for the Holy Mother’s temporary departure, the Demon Race wouldn’t dare to stage such a counterattack.”

“There certainly are those in the Holy Mother Palace who signal the Demon Race, even participating in their scheme of raising troops beyond the heavens.”

Li Ping’an said, “This is indeed quite complicated.”

“Where in the world is there a simple matter,” the Tianli elder patted Li Ping’an on the shoulder, “lad, just do your utmost to comprehend the Creation Path!”

“I really can’t.”

“Your dad even said, a man should never say he can’t…

We’re arriving at the Holy Mother Palace.

Brace yourselves!

If you notice anything unusual later, just form the array directly!”

“Yes!”

Voices answering in unison came from every corner of the Cloud Boat.

Li Ping’an turned to look ahead where the familiar White Jade Imperial Gate faintly emerged.

No matter what, let’s try first.

…

Although Tianli had sent someone to give advance notice to the Holy Mother Palace, gaining entry still inevitably involved being given a hard time by the Chief Maid’s disciples.

“Enter the Holy Mother Palace for investigation?”

The Chief Maid’s eldest disciple, the middle-aged woman with a gorgeous face and fiery figure, clad in an ancient dress, stood blocking the way.

Her phoenix eyes surveyed Li Ping’an and Tianli at the forefront, and she said indifferently,

“Do you really think that this place is like your Alliance’s office, where you can come and go or inquire whenever you please?

This is the Holy Mother Palace, the sacred land of the Human Race, one of the few Sect Hierarch’s courts in the world.

“The numerous arrangements inside are greatly favored by the Lady.

“If you damage anything or disturb any spirit animals, that would be a grave offense.”

Li Ping’an inwardly thought, ‘Didn’t Minister Feng also glance at her last time during the divination?’

In such situations, there was no need for him to speak.

The Tianli elder put on a smile, stepped forward, and bowed, “Fairy Bini, Ping’an is here on the Human Emperor’s orders to search for clues to the Holy Mother’s departure.

The Xuanyuan Sword Command is in his hands, and you’ve seen it before.

Today, perhaps we should skip the difficulties and avoid making things unpleasant.”

“Making things difficult?”

The glare of the Chief Maid’s eldest disciple turned icy:

“Are you saying we women are petty and difficult to deal with?”

“Not at all, not at all!”

The Tianli elder chuckled:

“We are just saying that everyone following the Lady in cultivation not only cultivates the Dao but also one’s heart and demeanor.

Looking around the world, there are indeed not many who can compare with all of you.

“With the Lady not at home, the Human Emperor is concerned for the Lady’s safety.

He has sent us, the most insightful of the Human Race, to investigate here.

This is entirely reasonable and expresses our Human Emperor’s filial piety toward the Lady.

“Ladies, the Human Emperor’s filial piety is before you; surely you’re not going to try to pierce it with a sword, are you?”

“What filial piety!”

The Chief Maid’s eldest disciple was about to scold further when a gentle call came from behind her,

“Do not be disrespectful!”

Several elderly women dressed in dark-colored long skirts arrived, riding on clouds.

They were the several Nuwa Palace masters, aligned with the Human Race present that day, excluding the Right Maid.

Among them were two Human Race princesses.

An elderly woman said, “The Right Maid has ordered that a few of you immortals may enter for investigation, but the celestial soldiers need not come inside.”

The Chief Maid’s eldest disciple snorted coldly and turned back into the Nuwa Palace.

Seeing this, Li Ping’an obviously understood within.

Last time, a million celestial soldiers pressured the Chief Maid, and he, along with Gu Qingcheng, used the ‘rogue’ tactic, causing significant harm to the Chief Maid’s lineage and, for the moment, the Right Maid took precedence over the Chief Maid in the Holy Mother Palace.

Still, the Chief Maid is the Holy Mother’s kin after all.

Once the Holy Mother returns, the Chief Maid’s influence will quickly swell again.

‘So even in the Sect Hierarch’s court, there are power struggles.’

“Please, this way.”

Immediately, Tianli elder led the way, followed by Li Ping’an, Qing Su, and Xu Sheng.

Xing He and Xinghan, the two Golden Immortal generals, very consciously waited at the gate as protectors.

Li Ping’an took a few steps, turned his head, and called out, “Wang Shan, come join us for consultation.

Your strategies are indeed incomparable to ordinary people.”

Wang Shan paused for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and moved forward, hands tucked in his sleeves, closely following behind Li Ping’an.

The maids of the Holy Mother Palace showed no particular reaction.

Li Ping’an and the others went straight to the great hall where the stele without inscriptions was located.

Along the way, Li Ping’an greeted the four accompanying elderly women with chuckles, uttering a few playful remarks that delighted the elderly immortals, and quickly got on friendly terms with the several old Human Race seniors.

He took the opportunity to mention the current plight of the Human Race.

The four elderly women also heaved sighs of regret.

“Even though the Human Race is thriving, it ultimately lacks a solid foundation and masters.

Now the Human Race has grown a new batch of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, but when it comes to forces that decide the major trends of the world, they are still too immature.”
