924: Chapter 322: The West’s Nemesis!_2 924: Chapter 322: The West’s Nemesis!_2 Li Ping’an said, “There’s no rush, we still need to see how the first batch of these hundred immortal soldiers fare afterward.”

“Generally speaking, there shouldn’t be any problems.

The Fountain of Youth seems to be quite targeted in lifting the restrictions on Dao Soldiers.”

Zi Yao lightly hummed for a moment:

“Before this, I had not discovered this matter.

“But with this development, I’m afraid the Western Sect will see me as a thorn in their side, a thorn in the flesh.

“If Your Majesty were to fail me, I truly wouldn’t know what to do.”

Li Ping’an: Aren’t you afraid of the Western Sect, being a student of Taoist Hongjun?

However, seeing her like this, Li Ping’an also thought of how she looked when she was drunk before, and didn’t feel that she was being affectedly demure, merely looking at her with a smile.

This made Zi Yao feel somewhat peculiar, raising her head to meet Li Ping’an’s gaze directly, yet just after a few breaths, she inadvertently looked away.

Li Ping’an suddenly said, “The fairy’s cloth boots look really lovely, even embroidered with red plum blossoms.

I hadn’t noticed until now.”

“You…”

Zi Yao Xianzi flicked her head and rode away on a cloud, fleeing at an extremely swift speed, as if plunging into the clouds.

Li Ping’an’s smile grew even brighter.

Beside him, Guilingling tilted her head and muttered softly, “Qingqing, why do I feel like these two are flirting with each other?”

Qing Su’s lips twitched slightly, then cleared his throat, maintaining his unworldly demeanor, and said softly, “Don’t tell Ningning about this.”

“Huh?

Why not?”

“It’s rather hard to explain, mainly because we’re afraid that Ningning might get drunk too.”

Guilingling looked puzzled.

Li Ping’an gestured for them to come over to discuss the matter together.

At this point in time, it could only be said that they had ‘found a suspected method of dealing with the Western Sect’s Dao Soldiers,’ and everything would have to wait until after ten days to see the outcome.

Two days later, Luo Xuejing and Wang Shan came to report again.

Wang Shan said, “Your Majesty!

The three small worlds we’ve targeted have been cleared, and we haven’t encountered any significant resistance.”

Luo Xuejing also said, “The Western Sect continues to amass heavy forces in seven small worlds, and while the number of Dao Soldiers has not significantly increased, there are nearly two thousand ancient demons.”

“Two thousand experts?”

Li Ping’an slightly frowned, whispering, “Where did so many ancient demons come from?”

“There were quite a few ancient demons in ancient times.”

Wang Shan explained:

“And the so-called ancient demons are mostly those who indulge in killing and have accumulated karmic obstacles.

When the Heavenly Court led the Hundred Clans to massacre the Human Race, over ten thousand ancient demons were born.

“Because they found that the souls of the Human Race were excellent nourishment for them.

“Since then, the number of ancient demons has grown, and even the punishments of Heavenly Dao did not work, until the rise of the Human Race, with powerful beings deterring the ancient demons, gradually making them restrain themselves…

The three thousand small worlds have many mortals, which are exactly what the Western Sect planted as food for ancient demons.

“However, the Western Sect also restrains the ancient demons, they cannot add too much karmic obstacles that involve the Western Sect.

Only when ancient demons have made significant achievements will they allow them to devour souls in groups.

“Otherwise…

it’s like how the Misty Realm was in the past, providing sacrifices to the ancient demons on schedule.”

Li Ping’an sighed, “Without rules in the world, the Ancient Heavenly Court lacked order, leading to such a catastrophe.

To save the sentient beings of the three thousand small worlds is an arduous task.”

Luo Xuejing asked, “Your Majesty, should we take some measures?

For example, ask the Human Emperor to send troops from the Western Continent to force the Western Sect to shift their attention.”

“There are also many pressures on the Human Emperor’s side, let’s not add to his troubles.

Just inform the Human Emperor of the situation here.”

Li Ping’an thought for a moment and said slowly,

“The Ten Heavenly Lords have arrived in the Misty Realm yesterday, and the Ten Ultimate Arrays have been laid down again.

As long as their number of Daluo Golden Immortals is not too great, they shouldn’t have too much trouble handling it.

“I have accumulated quite a lot of Heavenly Dao merits.

If they dare to intrude into the Misty Realm, this significant place of the Heavenly Court, they will indeed be subject to heavenly punishment.

“What I’m most worried about now is that the Western Sect might invite those Great Powers to take action.

Although I have already contacted Taoist Duobao, there has been no news from the Great Power yet…

“If soldiers come, we will block; if water comes, we will cover with earth.

All we can do is make all preparations.”

Wang Shan asked, “Then Your Majesty, about the plan for the Ministry of Stars…”

“Proceed as usual,” said Li Ping’an, “The more at times like this, the more steadfast one must be.

How can we be confounded by the prospect of the enemy before it has even arrived?”

“Yes!”

Wang Shan answered resolutely and hurriedly left.

Li Ping’an was not in the mood to rest either and waited quietly beside the temple.

The Heavenly Square Pavilion continued to bring news from the periphery.

With the Misty Realm as the central point, two circles, one larger and one smaller, are drawn, enclosing a dozen small worlds.

The areas where the Western Sect’s troops are stationed are in the outer circle;

They have not directly entered the small worlds closest to the Misty Realm.

This can be considered posturing, but it can also be seen as a wariness of the Jie Sect’s Ten Ultimate Arrays, not daring to move their troops rashly.

But they have already surrounded us, and subsequent actions will inevitably follow.

Li Ping’an gathered Qing Su, Zi Yao, Wang Shan, and others to conduct ‘sand table exercises,’ all determining that the Western Sect is waiting for an opportunity, or that their Great Power forces haven’t arrived yet.

A fierce battle seems unavoidable.

To be cautious, Li Ping’an sent a message to Jade Void Palace and asked Guiling to send a letter to Taoist Duobao.

Sending a letter to Chan Teaching is to show respect;

Sending a letter to Jie Sect is to exchange Heavenly Dao merits for the support of powerful beings.

The Minghe ancestor that Li Ping’an was wary of had recently been in the Western Continent;

But such a high-level being could kill his way here in a mere moment, so one cannot be careless.

And so, the tenth day finally arrived.

The temple in the Misty Realm covered in immortal light began to flicker.

The first batch of Dao Soldiers that used the Fountain of Youth finally bore fruit.

A hundred or so children were ‘born’ almost simultaneously.

A hundred ‘old bodies’ split open on their own, letting each child wrapped in mottled Spiritual Power descend into the world.

The scene was not particularly bloody, just a bit eerie.
