[Three Updates!] 852: Chapter 298: Flaunting Power by Cutting the Heavens!

The Initial Tremors of Ling Mountain!

[Three Updates!] Li Ping’an spoke, and changes immediately manifested in the Heavenly Dao.

From the Sect Hierarch to the disciples of the Western Sect, they all witnessed firsthand the near-Heavenly Emperor’s influence on the Heavenly Dao.

The screen that appeared before the eyes of all creatures between Heaven and Earth clearly displayed the Western Sect’s merits and sins, incense offerings, and exploration through Immortal Consciousness.

All beings could understand, knowing how these sins and merits were calculated, and roughly where each sin and merit originated.

Staring at the number of sins, Daoist Jieying’s brows gradually furrowed.

Li Ping’an’s voice boomed across Heaven and Earth once again:

“The Western Sect’s Taoist Calamity tried to cause a great disaster in the Way of Humanity by pushing fragments of ancient Heaven and Earth towards areas densely populated with mortals.

“Fortunately, Tongtian Sect Leader, Shengmu Nuwa, Xuanyuan Human Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, and many righteous individuals in this world took action.

“The Heavenly Dao autonomously assigned sins and merits.

These merits were bestowed upon those who assisted in preventing a catastrophe of immense proportions, while the sins fell upon Taoist Calamity and many evil spirits, thus becoming part of the Western Sect’s total sins!

“Every detail is precise and accurate.”

Li Ping’an declared loudly:

“If you all still want to quibble, I have the detailed record of the Western Sect’s sins over the past hundred years right here!

“The Heavenly Dao has always been present; it just wasn’t apparent before.

“Gentlemen.”

The skies above Mount Meru were utterly silent.

The Daoists of the Western Sect, facing such an unfamiliar ‘novelty,’ were rapidly searching for excuses.

But Li Ping’an didn’t want to engage in a war of words with the opposition and looked towards Daoist Jieying and Daoist Zhunti once again.

“Sect Hierarchs, how does the Western Sect explain the crimes of Taoist Calamity?”

Daoist Jieying remained silent.

Daoist Zhunti frowned in thought, carefully observing Li Ping’an.

It wasn’t long ago that he had confronted this Heavenly Emperor; to individuals such as them, it felt like merely a moment had passed.

And yet, in that brief moment, the Heavenly Emperor was before him again, wielding the power of the Heavenly Dao at will.

Today was different from before.

Tongtian Sect Leader was present too.

If a fight really broke out and Tongtian Sect Leader suffered a loss, it was likely that Taiqing Laozi himself would need to appear, not to mention…

Tongtian Sect Leader might not necessarily suffer a loss.

Li Ping’an furrowed his brows and said, “What?

You’ve all turned mute?

Do you Sect Hierarchs perhaps still wish to shield your own disciples?

Or could it be that the actions of Taoist Calamity were on the orders of the Western Sect’s two Sect Hierarchs!”

“Utter nonsense!”

A disciple of a Western Sect Sect Hierarch jumped up and cursed:

“Li Ping’an, don’t slander us with your unfounded accusations, besmirching our pure and great sect!

“Our Western Sect embraces compassion; how could we commit such atrocities!

Where has Taoist Calamity wronged you, Li Ping’an?

What are you truly plotting!”

Li Ping’an raised his left arm, and a purple divine thunderbolt condensed out of thin air, striking down in front of that Sect Hierarch’s disciple.

This divine thunderbolt wasn’t tremendously powerful, but it was filled with the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Li Ping’an thundered with a steady voice: “Enough of your nonsensical arguments!

The Heavenly Dao is present!

If any of you dare, step forward and make a solemn oath before the Heavenly Dao, stating that this matter has nothing to do with the Western Sect.

Otherwise, let heavenly wrath befall you!

Who dares!”

A group of Western Daoists glared in anger yet no one stepped forward.

“If you dare not, then keep your mouths shut!”

Li Ping’an stepped forward, his Dao Realm might not have been high, but he already exerted a certain oppressive feeling over the Western Daoists.

“If the two Sect Hierarchs do not provide me with an explanation today, I will ask Tongtian Sect Leader to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!”

Clang!

The Green Duckweed Sword drew three inches from its sheath, its cold light shining upon the Nine Heavens!

“Alas, why has it come to this.”

Daoist Zhunti sighed slowly, showing a sorrowful expression with a phantom of the Qibao Mi Tree emerging behind him, and streaks of golden light scattered across Heaven and Earth.

He spoke calmly, “If today’s encounter is for the purpose of magical combat, this poor Daoist is ready to accompany.”

“Magical Combat?”

Tongtian Sect Leader gave a mocking laugh, not falling for Daoist Zhunti’s bait and said indifferently:

“This poor Daoist is here at the Heavenly Emperor’s request, to uphold justice!

“Even if it comes to magical combat, it would be your elder brother who should try.

You are still not strong enough.”

Daoist Zhunti spoke calmly: “Our West is impoverished.

My elder brother and I have expended all our efforts just to see the West flourish.

Why must our painstaking efforts be misunderstood by the world?”

Tongtian Sect Leader ignored Daoist Zhunti completely, turning to say, “Ping’an, are we here to capture Calamity?”

“One reason is to capture Calamity, and the second is to hold the Western Sect accountable!”

“Very well!” Tongtian Sect Leader declared, “Jin Ling, Wu Dang!

Go to their Western Sect grounds, search for Taoist Calamity’s whereabouts!

If Taoist Calamity is not here, then capture a few of his kin and friends to force him to show himself!”

“Yes!”

Jinling Saint Mother and Mother Wudang responded at the same time.

The two powerful female figures of the Jie Sect prepared to descend immediately.

Li Ping’an felt as though someone twisted his Dao heart.

Why…

the way Jie Sect is proficient in kidnapping relatives and using them as threats!

He couldn’t very well dismantle his own stage now, only adding, “Or there might be secret places beneath Mount Meru, why not lift up the mountain and have a look!

We’ll just put it back later!”

Tongtian Sect Leader’s eyes brightened.

Lifting up Mount Meru and putting it back again?

Why hadn’t he thought of this way of humiliating the Western Sect?

“Let’s do as our Heavenly Emperor suggested!”

“Yes!”

Duobao and Zhao Gongming were about to take action immediately!

Zhao Gongming revealed twenty-four dim great stars around him, and a spiritual pressure second only to the Qibao Mi Tree spread throughout Heaven and Earth.

The faces of the two Sect Hierarchs of the Western Sect turned ashen.

A group of disciples of the Western Sect, like a gust of wind, swiftly descended to protect their sect’s gates.

An old Daoist cried out: “Why does Jie Sect bully us so in the West!”

“Nonsense!”

Zhao Gongming glared furiously, his commanding presence rising naturally, and he thundered:

“The Western Sect plotted against all creatures.

With the Heavenly Emperor present and the Heavenly Dao as witness, we are hereby searching Mount Meru of the Western Sect, so do not put on a feigned show of weakness!”
