Chapter 968 - 968 337 Real and Fake Snake Tail_2

968: Chapter 337: Real and Fake Snake Tail_2 968: Chapter 337: Real and Fake Snake Tail_2 Li Ping’an suddenly realized.

As long as one has visited a place, one can come and go freely?

Can there still be such an explanation?

Li Ping’an chuckled, “Taoist Duobao, Uncle Gongming, I invited the two of you here today because Uncle Guiling and I just injured the chief left attendant of the Holy Mother Palace, and I need you to back us up.”

“Oh?” Taoist Duobao smiled lightly with his hands behind his back, “We, disciples of Jie Sect, are not just anyone who can be injured.”

Guilingling corrected, “It was I who injured that left chief attendant!”

“Yes, you injured it, that chief attendant deserved it!”

Taoist Duobao winked at Guilingling, who showed a brief moment of confusion and then a flicker of brightness appeared in her eyes.

She clutched her chest and leaned towards Li Ping’an.

“Ow, I’m injured…

Nephew, help me, we must go and clarify things with that left chief attendant…”

While speaking, a trickle of fresh blood seeped from the corner of Guilingling’s mouth.

Taoist Duobao, smiling, nodded with approval in his eyes.

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head but did not say anything more.

Li Ping’an:…

No, why are you from the Jie Sect so skilled at these things?!

“No need for that,” Li Ping’an said, “just enter directly.

If the left chief attendant has escaped back here, there will still be remnants of the Immortal Sword’s charm on her.

If she doesn’t dare to return, the events of today will be confirmed.”

Having said that, Li Ping’an did not have time to explain to Zhao Gongming and Taoist Duobao but instead plunged towards the gate of the Holy Mother Palace.

The guards and female immortals at the gate were momentarily stunned.

Outside the White Jade Imperial Gate, all the immortal soldiers knelt neatly on one knee, shouting loudly:

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Inside the White Jade Imperial Gate, the maids of the Holy Mother Palace lined up, bowed their respects, and then transformed into streaks of light flying back inside the palace.

Li Ping’an straightened his face and walked slowly forward while the immortal soldiers rose up and stood to either side.

He directly activated his cultivation, stimulated the power of Heavenly Dao he could now directly control, and his voice spread across the Isles of the Immortals within the secret realm of the Holy Mother Palace.

“I ask the Chief Left and Right Attendants to come forth!”

Taoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and Guilingling descended on clouds following Li Ping’an, each releasing their own Dao Charm.

There was a slight commotion in various parts of the Holy Mother Palace, and figures soared up from the corners of the Heavenly Emperor’s School.

Soon, with streaming rays of rosy light, numerous immortal maidens came riding on clouds, and dozens of elderly women hurried forward.

Li Ping’an suddenly frowned.

The chief left attendant stood right in front of those dozens of elderly women, a person with a snake’s tail, surrounded by a green dress, perfectly composed, without any flaw.

The sword charm of the Immortal Sword was completely gone.

“Eh?”

Guilingling suddenly said, “It wasn’t her I injured.”

Li Ping’an was a bit confused.

He had spent a lot of Heavenly Dao virtue and had been focused on that ‘chief left attendant’.

Was she not the real chief left attendant?

Or, was this some kind of decoy trick?

Li Ping’an pondered slightly and made a silencing gesture to Guilingling, having settled on a plan in his mind.

Anyhow, that person who allowed the Roc to infiltrate the Holy Mother Palace must have a legitimate identity within it.

Ahead, the chief left attendant slightly bowed as a form of greeting, her aged face puzzled.

The elderly immortal maidens each bowed in respect, and Li Ping’an gestured for them to refrain.

The chief left attendant appeared displeased, frowned and said, “Your Majesty, do you have any commands?

Why not come inside?

The Holy Mother has decreed that whatever Xuanyuan Huangdi can do here, so can you.

If you bring friends over, just inform us, and we attendants will do our utmost to serve.”

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, “Is there any other entrance or exit to the grand formation of the Holy Mother Palace?”

“There isn’t,” replied the chief left attendant, “Why do you suddenly ask this?”

Li Ping’an said, “To be frank, I just came from the Western Continent, and was ambushed halfway by a Daluo Golden Immortal…

whose energy, Dao Charm, and appearance were exactly like those of the chief left attendant, who sought my life.”

To directly mention the conspiracy between the six-winged Heavenly Cicada and the chief left attendant would be too troublesome and require too much explanation.

It’s better to just come up with a straightforward reason.

After all, the essence of it was similar.

“Oh?”

The chief left attendant frowned deeply, and the elderly women looked at each other.

“Your Majesty, this old servant has always been in the Holy Mother Palace.

Just two hours ago, I had just convened the attendants of the highest seniority to discuss which color fabric we should use for the immortal robes when the Holy Mother returns in a thousand years…”

Looking at Li Ping’an, and then towards the three strong immortals of Jie Sect, the chief left attendant momentarily revealed wariness, and said:

“I am of the same clan as the Holy Mother, and an elder who has served her since her youth.

“I did indeed offend Your Majesty before, but after the Holy Mother returned from beyond the heavens and reprimanded me several times, I have corrected my position.

“What the Holy Mother values, I am in charge of.

The Holy Mother sees you as her young son; how could I possibly strike against you?”

“I can be vouched for by everyone behind me.”

Li Ping’an’s gaze swept across, and all the old women nodded simultaneously.

These old women came from both the Hundred Clans and the Human Race, with the majority of the immortals present being from the Human Race.

According to the feedback from these old women and immortals, it’s true that the Left Attendant had not left the Holy Mother Palace previously…

A millennium is neither too long nor too short, and the maids of Holy Mother Palace have also gotten used to their leisurely days.

As Li Ping’an was pondering, Guilingling suddenly said:

“What about the very powerful Right Attendant?

Her presence and The Great Dao are not here.”

Suddenly, it became quiet inside the Holy Mother Palace.

The Left and Right Attendants in the Holy Mother Palace are like the two most prestigious elders in a sect.

The Left Attendant is of the same race as Nüwa, gathering a large number of maids from the Hundred Clans, experienced and absolutely loyal to the Holy Mother, usually domineering and interfering in everything in the Holy Mother Palace.

The Right Attendant, on the other hand, belongs to the Human Race, and from one of the earliest generations of humans, having lived through many great eras of the Human Race, commanding the Human maids in the Holy Mother Palace.

Though not opposed on normal days, they certainly kept themselves distinct.

At this moment, the Right Attendant was not in the Holy Mother Palace…

It seems that matters have, to Li Ping’an’s surprise, taken a wildly unexpected turn.

After a moment of silence, Li Ping’an suddenly called out, “Someone come!”

Two immortal generals immediately bowed outside the door and responded, “Present!”

“If there is no war in the Western Continent, please summon Minister Feng to the Holy Mother Palace.”

“Yes!”

…

Meanwhile;

Within the Western Kunlun Secret Realm.

Jade Pool set down the Kunlun Divine Mirror with a thoughtful look in her phoenix eyes.

The Left Attendant, who was injured by the Immortal Sword, disappeared swiftly after vanishing into the Southern Sea.

Although Jade Pool could use the Kunlun Mirror to search the world, such a master fully concealed would still elude her through the mirror.

“How did Nüwa teach her subordinates that such a traitor could arise?”

She snorted coldly, considering whether she should visit the Holy Mother Palace.

In the past she would disdain visiting above the Southern Continent, but times have changed; now a player in the world, she couldn’t just watch the Heavenly Emperor stand alone and unsupported.

A charming smile formed on the corner of Jade Pool’s lips.

“Someone, bring my robe.”

One after another, immortals came forward with dozens of splendid robes and dazzling jewels.

…

Mount East Kunlun, Jade Void Palace.

Guang Chengzi observed through the Cloud Mirror the movement of Immortal Huanglong, who was heading to the Holy Mother Palace, his eyes filled with contemplation.

“A traitor in the Holy Mother Palace, this doesn’t relate to our Chan Teaching.

“Brother Huanglong is moving too slowly.

“Harming the Heavenly Emperor’s nephew is a grave matter, it makes no sense for the Jie Sect to send reinforcements while our Chan Teaching remains indifferent.”

Guang Chengzi decided and called out to Taiyi Yu Ding, inviting them for an outing.

As long as it wasn’t against the Western Sect, the disciples of the Chan Teaching had no reservations.

…

“What’s the situation?

Heavenly Emperor Li Ping’an went to question the Left Attendant only to find the Left Attendant at home, but the Right Attendant not?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi felt a bit dazed upon hearing this.

The Human Emperor’s trusted aide standing in front of him sorted his words and briefly described the situation after Li Ping’an appeared at the main gate of the Holy Mother Palace.

“You mean to say…”

Xuanyuan Huangdi slowly nodded:

“Heavenly Emperor Ping’an was attacked in the Southern Sea, the assailant being the Left Attendant, who was injured by the Immortal Sword and fled.

“Then Ping’an went to Nüwa Palace to block the Left Attendant, and found an intact Left Attendant there, with the Left Attendant having ample witnesses to prove she hadn’t left the Holy Mother Palace previously?

“And now everyone is searching for the Right Attendant, who can’t be found?

“So, it’s uncertain who the assaulting Left Attendant actually is?”

“Your Majesty, that’s exactly it!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and pondered, quickly slamming his hand on the table as he stood up.

“No, I must go there myself; the Right Attendant is also a distinguished member of our Human Race, how could she commit such an act that would harm the fortune of the Human Race!”
