733: Chapter 256 Dispatch Troops Today!

As the business of the Heavenly Court gradually increased, Li Ping’an’s small courtyard clearly became somewhat insufficient.

With thirty days left until the Sky Amber Monastery’s ‘Conference of a Thousand Immortals,’ Li Ping’an once again convened the various factions under his control for a meeting in Dong’an City.

The first to arrive was Feng Jigui, the deputy head of the Heavenly Square Pavilion.

He had actually been waiting for several days for this opportunity to come forward and carefully explain to Li Ping’an the reasons why the Pavilion had received false information last time, nearly leading their own side into a trap.

Overall, it was due to the Pavilion’s lax vetting of information.

After an internal investigation, they punished a few spies, demoted two hall masters, and did not find too many problems.

Li Ping’an naturally encouraged Feng Jigui with a few words and said that this trip to the Northern Continent also turned danger into safety, and there was no need for severe punishment.

When the Heavenly Emperor said there was no need for severe punishment, Feng Jigui understood that the Heavenly Emperor was not satisfied with the way the incident was handled, and thus he quietly pondered in his heart that he must continue to thoroughly investigate everyone in Yuan Huan Valley after returning, so as not to unknowingly let a spy from the Western Sect infiltrate their ranks.

After a while, Li Dazhi arrived with three Elders from the Casting Cloud Sect, and Wang Shan returned from the outside with Xing He and Xinghan.

“A meeting, is it?” Li Dazhi asked, “Who are we still waiting for?”

“We’re waiting for Senior Tianli,” Li Ping’an said solemnly, “This time we need to borrow troops from the Eastern Alliance.

Otherwise, with such a vast area in the Misty Realm and three thousand temples at Sky Amber Monastery, how can we control it with just the few of us?”

Li Dazhi lifted his long hair, rubbed his smooth forehead, and chuckled: “That’s nice, borrowing troops without having to provide provisions, just expressing our thanks to the Eastern Alliance verbally will do.”

From outside the courtyard came the scolding of Elder Tianli:

“You good-for-nothing Li Dazhi!

Always having so many ideas, yet never using them for the right purpose!”

Elder Tianli, dressed in a grand red official robe, strode into the courtyard with an air of majesty.

Li Ping’an remained seated calmly, while Li Dazhi and Feng Jigui rose to greet Tianli at the door, coaxing and deceiving him all the way to the high seat beside Li Ping’an.

“Greetings, Heavenly Emperor!”

“Hierarch, such formalities, please take your seat quickly!”

“Ah, how could I dare, we’re getting all formal now, father and son!

Hahaha!”

Elder Tianli laughed heartily, instinctively reaching to pat Li Ping’an’s shoulder, then stopping midway and settling down in his seat, muttering to himself:

“The matter with the Witch Clan of the Northern Continent has already spread throughout the East Continent.

The reaction of the Qi Cultivators is generally positive, probably because with the death of Xuan Ming, the enmity between our Human Race and the Witch Clan has also passed.

“How do you plan to arrange for those eighteen million witches in the northern part of the East Continent?”

“I invited you over today to discuss this very issue,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “The Witch Clan is belligerent, perfect to go beyond the heavens and compete for territory with the Demon Race and the Western Sect.”

“That’s wonderful,” said Elder Tianli, clearing his throat and pulling a Jade Talisman from his sleeve, “I want to take a little shortcut; you help me deliver this…

to Ancestor Witch Hou Tu…”

“What is this?”

Li Ping’an puzzled, took the Jade Talisman and was about to scan it with his divine sense.

Elder Tianli slapped Li Ping’an’s hand down and glared at him: “Don’t peek!

It’s not for official business!”

“Hiss— I won’t look, I won’t look, huh?”

Li Ping’an’s eyes brightened, and he laughed:

“Senior, you can write poetry?

Is this a poem of admiration you’re sending to Ancestor Witch Hou Tu?”

All ears in the room instantly perked up.

“It’s not admiration!

Ah, you!

Tch!”

Elder Tianli’s face showed helplessness, and he respectfully clasped his hands towards the north, saying seriously:

“This isn’t my writing, it’s from…

an old friend of mine!

Having heard that Ancestor Witch Hou Tu has left the Northern Continent and that the Witch Clan and the Human Race have resolved their hatred, he wanted to congratulate Ancestor Witch Hou Tu!”

“Don’t think nonsense!”

“It’s really not that!

Ancestor Witch Hou Tu used to help our Human Race a lot in ancient times.

If it weren’t for the chaos created by Chiyou, Ancestor Witch Hou Tu would have had temples erected for her veneration!”

“Understood!” Li Ping’an struggled to suppress the grin rising on his face, “So this is your friend expressing respect…”

“Exactly!” Elder Tianli breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ping’an: “As well as his endless admiration.”

“It’s not admiration!”

Elder Tianli was on the verge of losing his temper, while the others in the room chuckled, with Li Dazhi holding back his laughter.

There was no helping it, for Li Dazhi knew himself well; if he laughed too loudly, Tianli the old fellow would definitely turn his gaze and drag him off for a good thrashing.

Li Ping’an solemnly pushed the Jade Talisman back to Elder Tianli, saying warmly: “As for this poem, Senior, you should deliver it yourself later.

Ancestor Witch Hou Tu will be here soon.”

“What in the world?” Elder Tianli was completely stunned.

Li Ping’an tilted his chin towards the entrance and hinted: “Ancestor Witch Hou Tu should already be at the gates of the city by now.

I arranged for Feng Zhansiang and Luo Xuejing to go welcome her.”

“You!

Why didn’t you mention this earlier!”

Elder Tianli straightened his red robe with his hands.

Li Dazhi leisurely said: “Senior, have dignity, you already have two or three wives!”

“Do not slander!” Elder Tianli glared fiercely at Li Dazhi, “You weren’t born in ancient times; how could you understand these feelings!

Ancestor Witch Hou Tu from the ancient era was the anti-heavenly hero revered by all beings…

never mind, you wouldn’t understand, you’re just a simpleton.”

Li Dazhi chuckled ruefully, muttering to himself, “Only a simpleton would call another a simpleton.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Where is Uncle Huanglong?”

Wang Shan replied, “He went to the Heavenly Emperor Temple…

should I call for him?”

“Go call him.

With Uncle Guiling’s return time unknown, we must show respect to both Chanjie Dual Sects.”

Wang Shan took the order and hurriedly left, while Li Ping’an sipped his tea, and Ling’er, with a small White Tiger resting on her head, replaced Li Ping’an’s tea with a fresh cup.

Li Ping’an grabbed the White Tiger in his hands and fiddled with it, asking, “Where is my master?”
