Immortal Father
Chapter 805 - 805 281 'Thieving Woman

805: Chapter 281 ‘Thieving Woman 805: Chapter 281 ‘Thieving Woman Li Ping’an frowned slightly as he observed the thousands of Hundred Tribes’ Creatures being brought forth by a vast expanse of white clouds.

That scoundrel, Grey Sky King!

He had kept himself so far away, making it impossible for the experts of his own side to directly eliminate him.

Instead, he had released over ten thousand newly transformed young men and women from the Hundred Clans, who bore no bloodshed or karmic obstacles, including even children…

Such a clever moral hostage.

Although he had anticipated that the opponent would pull a stunt, this was actually an overt scheme, with no real way to guard against it.

This was a fight for righteousness.

If the Heavenly Court explicitly refused to accept these young creatures of the Hundred Tribes, it would signify that the Heavenly Court was only for the Human Race henceforth, losing part of its legitimate authority over the Heavenly Dao.

Then, the Hundred Clans of the Western Continent would completely lean towards the Western Sect.

The establishment of the next Heavenly Court would be fiercely obstructed by them.

If the Human Race took action to obstruct these blameless creatures from the Hundred Tribes, regardless of whether it was ordered by the Human Emperor or not, it would tarnish Xuanyuan Huangdi’s reputation for humanity and would further intensify the ancient conflicts between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans.

Xuanyuan Huangdi had once spoken a few words when they were boating and discussing the universe.

Essentially, the so-called Way of Humanity was not merely the way of the Human Race, but should be the way of all creatures between heaven and earth.

On the other hand, if these creatures were accepted, there would be many dissatisfactions within the Human Race itself; someone would need to step forward and take the blame, and the opponent’s schemes would naturally come to fruition.

The morale of the Human Race would be undermined.

Internal conflicts would further escalate, and the support for the Heavenly Court from the Human Race would decrease.

“Indeed a headache.”

Li Ping’an could already sense the murder intent from the Emperor.

Through several interactions, Li Ping’an had come to understand that Xuanyuan Huangdi was a decisive person and did not really care about his own reputation.

He was the Human Emperor and should consider the interests of the Human Race, even if it meant losing the so-called name of compassion.

Xuanyuan Huangdi’s killing intent targeted both Grey Sky King and those Hundred Tribes’ Creatures delivered by the white clouds.

Li Ping’an slightly furrowed his brows and looked behind him at Nüwa.

Nüwa also had a frown, looking at the young and confused creatures of the Hundred Tribes approaching closer and closer, her eyes full of compassion and helplessness.

“How should this situation be resolved?”

Li Ping’an quickly pondered.

If someone had to stand out and be the villain, he didn’t mind his reputation being slightly tarnished.

The white clouds released by Grey Sky King were rapidly approaching the Holy Mother Palace.

Li Ping’an clasped a Jade Talisman in his hand, ready to secretly communicate to Xu Sheng and Xuntian Xu, the father and son duo, to release a batch of self-destructing Self-moving Immortal Armors.

He had not publicly used the Self-moving Immortal Armor before.

Using such a method could serve as a ‘buffer’.

If there were any need to explain afterward, then it could be said that the Self-moving Immortal Armor had suddenly gone out of control.

All explanations would be owned by the Heavenly Court.

However, just as Li Ping’an was about to make his move, Zi Yao, who had been observing his shifting expressions the entire time, showed determination in her eyes.

Zi Yao Xianzi suddenly stood up, sent a strand of Immortal Consciousness towards Li Ping’an, and played a sound of music by his ear.

Thump!

Li Ping’an pressed the Jade Talisman, frowning as he looked towards the center of the cloud platform.

Zi Yao was now within his field of vision, with a subtle Dao Charm quietly fading around her.

Although she normally ‘did not attract attention’, she now seemed quite conspicuous.

“Human Emperor, Heavenly Emperor!”

Zi Yao bowed and greeted, her calm and gentle voice ringing through the surroundings:

“In my humble opinion!

“Although the Heavenly Court of the Human Race is for the Human Race, it should be led by the Human Race, not exclusively for the Human Race.

“The Heavenly Emperor once said during his discussion by the sea, all creatures are in this world to experience the diversity of heaven and earth.

Aren’t these creatures themselves a piece of diversity for the universe?

“If there were only the Human Race in this world, wouldn’t that diversity be too monotonous?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said, “Today’s grand assembly at the Holy Mother Palace is to select the elite of the Human Race!

The Hundred Clans now step in uninvited, is this to say my Human Race lacks capable people?”

Outside the gate, hundreds of thousands of immortal soldiers shouted in unison.

Those Qi Cultivators of the Human Race who had initially come just for fun were now aware of the difficult position of the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor.

Intelligence has nothing to do with loyalty to the Human Race;

but at this moment, many Qi Cultivators were ready to act, secretly taking out magical instruments and calling their friends.

All they were waiting for was the arrival of that white cloud, and then, with a shout of ‘slaying demons and eliminating calamities’ or ‘preventing problems before they arise’, they would spring into action!

Who says the Human Race lacks heroes?

Let reputation guard the fate of our race!

Grey Sky King’s resonant voice came again: “Good!

What a Human Race Heavenly Court!

Fellow daoists, come and see!

These upright and talented youths of my Hundred Clans are also not accommodated by the Heavenly Court!

Even your immortals cannot bear to see this, and speak up for my Hundred Clans!”

Zi Yao’s lips pursed slightly, her expression showing a bit of annoyance and…

disdain.

As soon as Grey Sky King’s voice fell, she spoke again, her voice echoing within tens of thousands of miles.

“Both Emperors!

Esteemed Taoist masters!

And the Hundred Clans’ experts who are watching this place.

“I have something to say, please listen quietly.”

Zi Yao Xianzi turned around, her phoenix eyes gazing at the ten thousand ‘youths’ of the Hundred Clans, she declared loudly:

“The Heavenly Court administers on behalf of heaven, aiming to govern the Three Realms in the future.

Both Hundred Clans and Human Race are creatures of this universe.

Although the significance of the Hundred Clans to the Heavenly Dao is not as substantial as that of the Human Race, the Heavenly Dao will not eradicate the Hundred Clans because of this affair.

“Hence, the matter of recruiting talents should rightfully give a chance to the Hundred Clans.

“But here, at this place!

The Hundred Clans forcefully coming here, coercing with words and compelling with righteousness, this is not the proper way!

“If the Hundred Clans wish to join the Heavenly Court, they should treat the Human Race similarly, notify the Heavenly Emperor in advance, and then ask the Clan Leaders of each clan to appear, elders to send off, select the talents and outstanding youths of their clans, for the Heavenly Court to assess.”
