Chapter 872 - 872 305 Cursing Minghe Appearance of the Tai Chi Diagram

872: Chapter 305: Cursing Minghe, Appearance of the Tai Chi Diagram 872: Chapter 305: Cursing Minghe, Appearance of the Tai Chi Diagram Being directly sought out by Minghe, Li Ping’an was slightly alarmed.

He had been employing the power of the Heavenly Dao to conceal himself and should not have been discovered so easily; this revealed that the might of the master of the Sea of Blood was by no means ordinary.

Two currents of Dao Charm swirled around Li Ping’an.

Even though two Sect Hierarchs from his faction had already set their sights on this place, Li Ping’an had no intention of leaving his Uncle Guiling’s side.

Looking at Minghe, he did seem quite distinguished.

He carried twin swords at his waist, dressed in a blood robe, with long hair that appeared casually draped but was styled with noticeable elevation, seemingly meticulous.

Unlike most Great Powers from the ancient times who preferred to keep beards, Minghe was clean-shaven, with a face full of fine lines and lacking the deep furrows of Taiqing Laozi, conveying a sense of good maintenance.

Minghe was also sizing up Li Ping’an, but after only a glance, he frowned and averted his gaze.

His expression seemed to say…

Is the Heavenly Dao ill?

Why would the new Heavenly Emperor be such a frail being?

“Oh?”

Minghe suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Zi Yao Xianzi with a smile emerging,

“To think the Queen Mother herself is here to protect him; this new Heavenly Emperor has quite the status.”

Zi Yao Xianzi chuckled lightly and said in a soothing voice, “The Heavenly Emperor has practiced for a short time, and with such a formidable figure from the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth harboring intentions against him, how could I not be concerned?”

Guilingling blinked.

Being on high alert, she couldn’t help but glance at Zi Yao Xianzi, with a question mark popping up in her mind.

This beautiful young girl was the old woman known as the Queen Mother?

Cough, that’s a mistake.

The Queen Mother came to this world in the Ancient Era; Guiling is much older than the Queen Mother, though most of that time was spent asleep.

Minghe’s gaze passed over Zi Yao and landed on Li Ping’an, saying indifferently, “I’m not here to kill you, young Heavenly Emperor.”

“Is that so?”

Li Ping’an smiled calmly,

“But I cannot let my guard down when it comes to the elder, especially since it seems the elder has reached some agreements with the Western Sect.”

“It’s a mutual need,”

Minghe laughed,

“I wonder what abilities you possess to become the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, shouldn’t Fuxi Shi be the strongest among them?

Where has he gone?”

Li Ping’an replied placidly, “The Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor have their differences, and I do not know why the Heavenly Dao chose me instead of one of the revered elders…”

“Why not relinquish your position as Heavenly Emperor, then?”

Minghe’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Ping’an felt as if he saw a towering wave of blood churning in the Sea of Blood.

Minghe sneered, “The Heavenly Emperor should be able to suppress all sides; whilst the Six Great Masters are concerned with becoming saints, I might as well give it a try.

The Queen Mother has the destiny of an empress; she would be a suitable Dao companion for me.”

Zi Yao Xianzi’s expression grew cold as she said indifferently, “Minghe, you have no master to rely upon, and have yet to sever your Three Corpses, yet you dare to be so conceited.

Are you not afraid of reckoning one day?”

“Reckoning?

Hahaha!”

Minghe placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and laughed boldly, his aura shooting straight into the sky like a solitary plume of smoke, reddening half of the firmament.

All creatures fell silent, a thousand immortals trembled in fear.

Zi Yao Xianzi casually formed a seal with her hands, and a full moon appeared in the sky, radiating bright white light, which in an instant dispelled much of the blood-red hue.

Minghe clicked his tongue and, folding his arms, watched Zi Yao intently, speaking slowly,

“Is this new Heavenly Emperor perhaps a favored companion raised by the fellow Daoist?

If that is the case, it would be understandable.”

Zi Yao was about to retort when Li Ping’an’s contemplative look faded and he suddenly patted her arm.

Though separated by the soft fabric of her fairy dress, it was the first time Li Ping’an had made contact with her.

Zi Yao immediately understood his intention and did not continue speaking, but her pretty face turned icy as she stared at Minghe, her eyes filled with a hint of expectation.

She was waiting for Li Ping’an to invoke the name of the Jade Pool.

Especially before all the powerhouses of heaven and earth — many gazes were now following the aura and Dao Charm emitted by Minghe, focusing on the situation on this flatboat.

Last time at the Wanyun Sect, Zi Yao pretended not to mind being scolded by the Heavenly Emperor; although she knew she was at fault, she could not say much.

But today, if Li Ping’an asked for her help, not only would she regain her pride, but she would also make Li Ping’an rely on her somewhat, marking the beginning of their further development.

She did not care about the affections between men and women.

However, a solid political alliance within the Heavenly Court needed a certain bond as a glue, especially since Li Ping’an, like many young members of the Human Race, valued trust and righteousness.

Zi Yao was thinking this when Li Ping’an replied with a smile,

“I suddenly understand why the Heavenly Dao would rather cultivate a young member of the Human Race slowly than choose an ancient Great Power like yourself to ascend directly.

“What manner is this, elder?

“I resonate with the Heavenly Dao, representing the interdependence between the Human Race, this world’s protagonist, and the Heavenly Dao;

“If the elder wishes to resonate with the Heavenly Dao, you might first need to resolve the Asura Clan’s defects before hoping to compete with me.”

“Is that so?”

Minghe’s smile gradually faded, “What makes a young man like you so arrogant that you no longer respect your elders?”

“The two Sect Hierarchs of the Western Sect, I’ve rebuked them as well, even you are not equal to Sect Hierarch Zhunti, what face do you have to ask for such respect from me?”

Li Ping’an said calmly,

“Moreover, respect is something one earns for oneself.

“What contributions has the elder made to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth?

The elder emerged from the Sea of Blood, claiming that so long as the Sea of Blood does not dry, you cannot die, but what use is this immortality?

“Where were you during the great battle between dragons and phoenixes?

“Where were you when the Human Race and Witch Clan cooperated to overthrow the Ancient Heavenly Court that oppressed all beings?”
