734: Chapter 256 Dispatching Troops Immediately!_2 734: Chapter 256 Dispatching Troops Immediately!_2 Wen Ling’er said softly, “She’s cultivating.”

“Then don’t call her to the meeting.

Go move the screen away to brighten up the room a bit,” someone else said.

“Alright,” Wen Ling’er agreed.

Xing He and Xinghan hurried forward.

“Miss Ling’er, no need to bother yourself, we’ve got this!” they offered.

The room was instantly filled with light-heartedness.

Li Ping’an rubbed the White Tiger’s head, and with closed eyes, he organized his thoughts.

Soon after, several streaks of immortal light fell outside the door, and the arrival of the beautiful woman in a white dress, with her delicate and frail figure, caused a minor commotion within the room.

It was none other than the Ancestor Witch Houtu who had arrived, bringing with her the strongest three Great Witches of the Witch Clan.

Houtu’s attire was simple and proper—a long dress made of hemp hid her slightly thin Dao Body.

Her features were delicate and beautiful, and her aura added a sense of otherworldliness and sanctity to her appearance.

Her eyes, clear like autumn waters, bore no flirtatiousness but were filled with compassion for the suffering of all beings and a touch of helplessness that she could not do more.

At this moment, Houtu had not yet fully recovered—the Witch Clan, though innately powerful in combat, required long years to restore their depleted essence.

Of course, even now, Houtu was still considered a master in her own right, and the most powerful among those who had pledged allegiance to the Heavenly Court.

Li Ping’an led the immortals outside to greet her.

Houtu inclined her body to salute, saying softly, “Witch of the Houtu Clan, greets Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor.”

“Ancestor Witch, you are too courteous,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, gesturing her to enter, “The Heavenly Court is not yet established, I am merely the prospective Heavenly Emperor.

My abode is humble, please do not take offense.”

Houtu smiled tenderly, then sighed softly, “The Heavenly Emperor is young and promising, a fortune of the Human Race.

If the Heavenly Emperor does not mind, the Witch Clan’s destiny shall be entrusted to Your Majesty.”

Having said that, Houtu brought her hands to the front and bowed her head to Li Ping’an.

Immediately, the three Great Witches knelt on one knee and said in unison, “We are willing to serve Your Majesty with the loyalty of dogs and horses!”

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart fluctuated slightly, and he said warmly, “Please rise, all of you.

Ancestor Witch, you honour us too much.

With the Witch Clan supporting the rise of the Heavenly Court, I will wholeheartedly work to gather fortune for the Witch Clan so that it may thrive and endure in the world.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!” they responded.

“Let’s go inside and discuss matters,” Li Ping’an said.

Smiling, Li Ping’an continued:

“I have already chosen a settlement for the Witch Clan.

It is called the Misty Realm, with all the five elements present, and it is infested with demons from the West.”

“In one month, the Heavenly Court will dispatch troops to attack this realm, eradicate the demons of the West, and establish a homeland for the Witch Clan.”

“Today, I’ve summoned you here to discuss this matter.”

“This is Elder Tianli, whom you’ve all met before.

He is the Alliance Hierarch of the Eastern Alliance, commanding millions of immortal soldiers of the Human Race…”

Houtu’s expression showed a little less anxiety, and the three Great Witches were visibly revitalized.

The elderly Tianli quickly stepped forward, vigorously wiped down the chair he had sat on with his sleeve, and invited Mother Houtu to take the first seat next to the Heavenly Emperor.

He himself then snatched Li Dazhi’s chair, much to Li Dazhi’s annoyance.

Before long, Immortal Huanglong arrived, stretching lazily, and Mother Gui Ling Guilingling also happened to return from the Jie Sect.

With a wave of his hand, Li Ping’an presented a ‘full-scale sandbox star map’ that filled the entire study.

In the center was the main world, only as big as a duck egg, and a marked star point was situated not far from the main world.

That was the location of the Sky Amber Monastery in the Misty Realm.

After some discussion, all the details were settled.

The day of the military expedition was set for twenty days later.

The Eastern Alliance would send out two hundred thousand immortal soldiers.

These immortal soldiers would bring their own provisions, which greatly eased Li Ping’an’s biggest concern at the moment.

However, such favors couldn’t be too frequent.

Soon after establishing a foothold in a realm, Li Ping’an would need to figure out how to sustain his own army.

If he needed to borrow troops from the Eastern Alliance again, he would have to provide for the ‘provisions’ himself.

The Witch Clan would mobilize six hundred battle witches and three thousand elite witch soldiers.

—This was a sharp knife that could fight tough battles but couldn’t afford too many losses.

The Heavenly Square Pavilion would mobilize six hundred of its most elite spies to infiltrate the Misty Realm in advance to gather military intelligence.

When the elders of the Wanyun Sect reported to Li Ping’an about the Misty Realm, they had calculated the distance from the main world using their Heavenly Immortal Realm speeds, which would take two months of flying.

Later, Immortal Huanglong would be responsible for the transportation of troops, and it would take only two or three days to reach the Misty Realm.

Thus, the planning for the campaign against the Misty Realm was finalized.

The Casting Cloud Sect had already rushed the production of thousands of sets of immortal armor, which would soon be sent to the temporary residence of the Witch Clan;

The Heavenly Square Pavilion had previously gathered much information about the Misty Realm and had a thorough understanding of the Sky Amber Monastery’s gathering of a thousand immortals.

When the elderly Tianli hurried back to make arrangements, Li Ping’an specifically reminded him:

“Elder, I do not mistrust the Eastern Alliance, but you know the situation within.

With these two hundred thousand soldiers, please ensure secrecy.

“There’s no need to tell them where they are going.

Assemble them in the southeast direction, and then cut off all their communication with the outside world.

It would be best if you personally oversaw this.

“If the enemy gets wind of our intentions, and they wait prepared, it could make the Heavenly Court’s first battle quite difficult.”

“Of course,” Elder Tianli pondered for a moment, “I’ll make extensive use of the troop-raising pagodas.

For two hundred thousand soldiers, only seven large pagodas are needed.

I’ll choose seven Golden Immortal generals and have them by my side each day.”

Li Ping’an replied, “The more cautious, the better.

I have already instructed the Heavenly Square Pavilion to investigate dozens of places beyond our main world, concentrating on the eastern and southern sides, creating a diversion.”

“Excellent!” Elder Tianli replied with a smile, “The regions beyond our main world are no match for us.

There aren’t many experts there, even Heavenly Immortals are scarce.

With your current strength, you could sweep through them easily.”

“We must not be careless,” Li Ping’an said gravely, “Even if we have to set up a cannon to shoot a mosquito, we must ensure that the mosquito is obliterated.”

“Alright…

but what is a cannon?” Elder Tianli asked.

“It’s a kind of mechanical magic artifact,” Li Ping’an awkwardly covered up.

Elder Tianli didn’t inquire further.

Just as he was about to leave in a hurry, he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and approached Li Ping’an.

Pulling on Li Ping’an’s arm, he whispered:
