856: Chapter 299: The Battle is About to Ignite_2 856: Chapter 299: The Battle is About to Ignite_2 “I left a little,” Zhao Gongming said with squinted eyes and a smile, “since ancient calculations told me that the Heavenly Emperor would soon arrive at my abode, I specially saved half a jar.”

Li Ping’an clicked his tongue, “I was just being polite with casual greetings, but now I really have to go.”

“Ha ha ha!”

Zhao Gongming’s hearty laughter spread slowly across the clouds.

To the south, Holy Mother and Xuanyuan Huangdi, among others, had also disappeared from view.

In the Holy Mother Palace, Nüwa had ordered music and dancing, clearly in a very good mood.

Inside Xuanyuan Palace, Xuanyuan Huangdi, accompanied by several officials, drank and chatted merrily, also appearing to be in a much better mood.

Soon, the Human Race began to gather troops again from the southern part of the Western Continent.

Over two million celestial soldiers had rushed there, and Xuanyuan Huangdi was brewing an imperial edict.

Once the edict was issued, they would launch a full-scale offensive against the Western Continent.

The battle for the Western Continent, previously stalled by Chan Teaching, was hastened by the recent events at Mount Ling.

As for Mount Ling…

Ever since the Intercepting Sect Immortal and Li Ping’an left, the mountain had been enveloped in celestial light.

Having been raided by the Intercepting Sect Immortal, who searched the entire mountain and took many treasures, Mount Ling’s external majesty had all but vanished.

Previously, mentioning the Western Sect would invoke the tales of its two leaders who seemingly rivaled any one of the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect.

But from this day on, the Western Sect formally ranked below the Three Teachings.

Tongtian Sect Leader alone had intimidated both Jie Yin and Zhunti, gaining the upper hand.

Moreover, this incident would also impact the demons’ perception of the Western Sect, an indirect benefit that Li Ping’an had overlooked for the moment.

Tongtian Sect Leader escorted Li Ping’an and his group back to Dong’an City.

Guilingling didn’t even need her master to say anything; she naturally stood at Li Ping’an’s side, waving goodbye to Tongtian Sect Leader.

“Master, go rest!

I’ll protect the Heavenly Emperor well!”

“Mm,” Tongtian Sect Leader said with a smile, “I was actually considering letting Wu Dang take over for a while so you could rest and catch up on sleep, but since you’re so eager, I’ll let you do it.”

Having said this, Tongtian Sect Leader watched Guilingling expectantly, waiting for her to show regret.

The kind that says, ‘Master, why didn’t you say so earlier?

I wanted to go back and snooze.’

But after waiting for a few breaths, he saw Guilingling skillfully linking arms with Qing Su and cheerfully heading into Dong’an City.

“I saw a new restaurant opening over there!

Let’s dine out!”

With a soft voice, Qing Su said, “They sell turtle soup there; it wouldn’t be appropriate for you to go.”

Guiling made a dissatisfied mutter, “Humans are so cruel!

In that case, let’s go to the one before that.

And besides, soft-shell turtles are soft-shell turtles; black turtles are black turtles; they’re not the same!”

Eh?

Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Guilingling’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but chuckle right before casually tearing through space and leaving.

Li Ping’an bowed his head respectfully to bid farewell to this important figure and then called Qing Su and the others to stop.

“Master, Uncle Master, don’t go out just yet.

I’ll invite Father over for a family banquet later; today we shall spare no expense for a big celebration!”

“Alright, I will find some delicacies to bring.”

…

The so-called family banquet, more accurately, should be called a gathering of friends and family.

Li Ping’an went to the Holy Mother Palace to bring Ningning Mu back, and Li Dazhi also came with Xiaoyue.

If Elder Yansheng were in Dong’an City, they would certainly invite him to share a drink, but sadly, the elder was busy in the Misty Realm.

The Misty Realm had always been quite stable.

With Tongtian Sect Leader showing his mighty power today and the Three Tongtian Sword Intent securing the realm, it would become even more unshakeable.

Wen Ling’er and the Great White Tiger were bustling about preparing half a table of delicacies;

Qing Su and Guilingling had brought back over a dozen delicious dishes from a familiar tavern;

After that, they all casually took their seats, making the gathering lively and warm.

Micro Flame and Gao Xu were also called over by Li Dazhi.

Originally, as Li Dazhi had thought, he should also invite a few authoritative immortals from Dong’an City Inspection Department, but after a glance at the ladies present at the feast, he abandoned the idea.

Li Dazhi was in quite a content mood himself.

The Western Sect’s loss was one thing, but the present scenario was the main reason.

Look at Li Ping’an’s right hand.

The immortal Ningning Mu, sensible and radiant, was the woman officially betrothed to his son, and it couldn’t be long before she brought a little surprise to the Li family lineage.

Look at Li Ping’an’s left side, the ethereal and beautiful immortal, who also seemed to have a budding relationship with his son.

How could anyone not have feelings?

Especially given that he had lent “The Condor Heroes” to aid them.

How could Li Dazhi not understand his son?

He was sure that Li Ping’an had his own thoughts deep down, but because Qing Su was his master, and knowing Qing Su’s personality, he had always been afraid to express them.

However, Li Dazhi also knew the principle of not rushing things and wouldn’t interfere anymore.

In other words, with the Li family prospering more each day, he would never lack for daughters-in-law, a stark contrast to the days when they worried about the ‘abode’ and whether ‘Ping’an’s cultivation was sufficient’ back in Wanyun Sect.

So, Li Dazhi didn’t think too much about it.

As for Guilingling and Zi Yao Xianzi next to Qing Su, Li Dazhi held a cautiously optimistic attitude.

Both were powerful women.

Guiling, with her child-like demeanor, tended to be playful.

And this Zi Yao Xianzi…

Her intentions were not pure, and even if she developed feelings for Ping’an in the future, those feelings would be complicated.

After pondering, Li Dazhi looked at his daughter-in-law Ningning Mu, finding her increasingly pleasing to the eye, and took the initiative to instruct Xiaoyue to take Ningning Mu around the now prosperous Dong’an City for fun.

The family banquet was halfway through, filled with joy and laughter.

Qing Su, who didn’t usually drink much, had a few extra cups today.
