625: Chapter 219: There can’t be a spy in our Jie Sect!_2 625: Chapter 219: There can’t be a spy in our Jie Sect!_2 Mo Linyuan nodded to Cangjie with a smile, yet he wasn’t worried about any ambush inside, he gave Li Dazhi another clasped-hands salute and was about to bow his head to enter.

At that moment, a sudden shout came from the sky.

“Ping’an, I’ll accompany you up to here.”

Everyone was startled and immediately looked up.

They saw a white cloud descend from the high sky, the cloud solidifying from its initial hazy state, with two figures standing atop it.

The person on the left, handsome in appearance, with a tall and straight stature, eyebrows like swords and eyes like stars, a high nose, and dressed in white as pure as snow – if not Li Ping’an, who else could it be?

The onlookers turned to the Daoist next to Li Ping’an, noting his fair skin and average build, altogether a well-proportioned figure, except his face was slightly plump.

His current smile was warm and friendly.

Mo Linyuan exclaimed, “It’s actually the Jie Sect Hierarch’s leading disciple, Taoist Duobao!”

“Oh?” Duobao looked over with a beaming smile, “And you are?”

“Mo Linyuan, an old minister of the Ancient Heavenly Court,” the elder clasped his hands and said, “I am now following the decree of the Heavenly Dao, coming forth to serve the New Heavenly Emperor!”

“Oh, it’s you.”

Taoist Duobao nodded slowly, saying with a smile:

“I have indeed heard rumors about you, whoever you save dies, whoever you help meets with misfortune.

Ping’an is a man my master values, and the New Heavenly Court is a matter concerning the prosperity of the Human Race and the Taoist Sect.

How could the old ministers of the previous dynasty serve the ruler of today?

Also right, I’ll go back and see which sister has time.

I can have her stay by Ping’an’s side for a thousand or eight hundred years to assist Ping’an in successfully establishing the Heavenly Court.

You just stop meddling and find a place to retire, lest you attract conflicts and bring disaster upon yourself.”

Mo Linyuan was stunned, looking up at Taoist Duobao.

Taoist Duobao looked at Mo Linyuan with a chuckle, speaking gently, “What, do you find my words unpleasant to hear?”

“Dare not, dare not.”

Mo Linyuan sighed with a bow of his head:

“Since it is so, this poor Daoist shall take his leave…

alas, the strong still oppress the weak.”

Taoist Duobao said with a laugh: “Mutter nonsense again, and this poor Daoist will extinguish your Beihai Giant Wood Forest.”

Mo Linyuan flicked his sleeve in response, turning to give Li Dazhi a smiling salute, and then deeply bowed to Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an was about to return the gesture to Mo Linyuan but was stopped by the raised hand of Taoist Duobao.

Mo Linyuan sighed deeply and turned into a wisp of black wind as he fled.

Taoist Duobao telepathically said to Li Ping’an, “This old crow is quite eerie.

Best to stay away from him.

I’ll go back and see if Wu Dang or Guiling has some time to come over and protect you for a while.

No need to rely on such potentially harmful forces.”

Then, Taoist Duobao murmured with a chuckle:

“Ping’an is the pride of three generations in our Taoist Sect, not just any fake Da Luo that can’t cut it is allowed to touch him.”

For a moment, Li Ping’an was at a loss for words.

Taoist Duobao used a clever force to send Li Ping’an to the gate of the mountain, then smiled warmly as he clasped his hands together in salute.

Strangely enough, although he was always smiling, one could easily sense whether it was a veiled sneer or a sincere gesture of goodwill.

Taoist Duobao clasped his hands and said, “Preceptor Cang Jie, no harm has come to you, I hope.”

Cangjie returned the gesture, “Taoist Duobao, it’s really you who personally escorted Ping’an back.”

Taoist Duobao gave a big hearty laugh, “Ahahaha, my master likes him, and my sister adores him, so of course, I had to come and also to talk with Ping’an about the Taoist Sect and the Heavenly Court.

If I find the time later, I’ll go visit Shennong and Xuanyuan.”

“The junior will inform Their Majesties and await Taoist Duobao’s visit.”

“No trouble…

This is Brother Li Dazhi?”

Li Dazhi blinked; knowing Duobao calculated seniority by Ping’an’s standing, thus he and Duobao were peers.

He clasped his hands with a smile: “I dare not assume the title of ‘brother.’ I have shallow cultivation and am in awe to meet you, senior.”

“Ah!

I’ve long heard the name of the Great Wealth Immortal,” Taoist Duobao laughed and said, “Today your sect is busy, so I won’t impose.

When the Great Wealth Immortal finds time, come over to Jinao Island anytime, and we can discuss treasure-hunting.”

Li Dazhi replied hastily, “I wouldn’t dare…

Please come inside.”

“No need, this poor Daoist will take his leave now.”

Taoist Duobao gave a salute, saying loudly:

“Ping’an!

Remember to consider the matters we discussed on the road.”

With that, he tore open the cosmos with a wave of his hand, stepped into the rift, and vanished without a trace.

In front of the mountain gate, Li Ping’an and Li Dazhi exchanged glances, each seeing surprise in the other’s eyes.

Li Ping’an felt a surreal magic in the air.

The one he saw in the Azure Wander Palace, floating on the water with a big white belly…

the Jie Sect’s leading disciple who just now laughingly suppressed everyone present…

Which one was the real face of Duobao?

“Ping’an, are you all right?”

“I’m fine,” Li Ping’an looked in the direction where Mo Linyuan had left, “Father, let’s go in and talk.

I have yet to pay respects to my preceptor.”

Cangjie waved his hand, speaking warmly, “Times have changed, having obtained the reality of the Heavenly Emperor, you cannot still see yourself as a subject of the people.”

Li Ping’an bowed and gave his respects, “Without the protection of the Human Emperor, how could I be alive today?”

“Good, the Heavenly Emperor needs only to rest inside,” Cangjie forced a somewhat stiff smile, “After the battle in the Western Continent is over, celestial soldiers will soon be stationed near the Wanyun Sect to guard the Human Race’s Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Ping’an hastened to say, “Do not bother with such arrangements.

Once the sect is stable and the Western Continent battle ends, I will ask my father to take me to visit the palaces of Nüwa and Xuanyuan.”

Cangjie nodded slightly and turned around, disappearing from view.

Li Dazhi supported Li Ping’an.

Suddenly, there were shouts from outside the mountain gate:

“Congratulations to Ping’an, the Heavenly Emperor!”

“Our Human Race shall have a Heavenly Emperor!”

“Well done, Wanyun Sect!

The True Demon of A Thousand Evils deserves death!”

Only then did Li Ping’an notice that near the gate, there were clusters of white clouds filled with figures.

He clasped his hands with a smile, then feigned exhaustion, leaning on his father as they entered.

The Wanyun Sect also closed the mountain gate, with several elders waiting outside to receive guests coming to offer condolences.
