Chapter 973 - 973 339 Crack Ambush_2

973: Chapter 339: Crack, Ambush_2 973: Chapter 339: Crack, Ambush_2 “The future immortal officials of the Heavenly Academy are all eager and rubbing their hands, thinking of going to the Misty Realm to accomplish great things.”

“There is already a batch of dozens of people here who can graduate and become immortal officials.

Are you going to take them with you this time?”

“I can’t take them, I still need to acquire some incense merit,” said Li Ping’an, “let’s send them to the Misty Realm in a low-key manner using other methods.”

“That works too.

Be safe on the way.”

Li Dazhi said:

“If it’s not working out, just take a detour on the way back.

Spending some extra time on the road is nothing.

“You don’t have to worry about the East Continent, I, as a Great Fortune Holder, will guard these temples of the Heavenly Emperor for you.

“I have sent many gifts to Guiling on your behalf, they are the main force protecting you, so be polite to them too.”

Li Ping’an patted his sleeves and stood up: “I’m going to find Brother Xu to talk about artifact refining.”

“Go ahead, go ahead,” Li Dazhi said with a smile and a curse, “Don’t you want to spend more time with your dear dad?”

Li Ping’an said with a smile: “You can come too.”

“I better not,” Li Dazhi waved his hand, “go ahead with your business, I’m heading back to Dong’an City now.”

Li Ping’an instructed: “Dad, be careful to stay hidden on your journey, them attempting to strike at me indicates they’re running out of options.”

“Don’t worry, I am the original Great Fortune holder!

I haven’t lent you any fortune these past few years, my hair is all real now!”

Li Dazhi lifted the wig from his head, revealing the lush black short hair underneath.

Li Ping’an gave a thumbs up, then turned around and waved, leaving gracefully.

The smile on Li Dazhi’s face gradually faded as he sat there slightly lost in thought, his fingers interlaced before his stomach, and his thumbs rotating back and forth.

‘Sigh, even as the Human Emperor, there should be some explanation.’

…

In the void outside the main world.

A Treasure Bead hanging quietly in this place perfectly concealed the many auras hidden within it.

Inside the bead was a not-so-large cave dwelling, where several figures gathered.

The Roc Bird paced back and forth, its golden cloak swaying irritably, which annoyed the other experts present.

Daoist Luya said indifferently: “Fellow Daoist, are you so impatient?

It’s just that you’re being watched by an Intercepting Sect Immortal.”

“Hmph!”

The Roc cursed:

“Don’t be so sarcastic there.

Though the Jie Sect is full of experts, they don’t matter to me!”

Luya asked with a smile: “Then why the urgency, fellow Daoist?”

“That damned Li Ping’an!”

The Roc said with hatred:

“Why am I only worth three million merit, but Calamity is worth eight million!

Damn it!

It’s more than double mine!”

Daoist Luya opened his mouth, about to say something, then felt…

he couldn’t quite keep up with the Roc’s train of thought…

In the corner, the Heavenly Cicada twitched the corners of its mouth.

What was he then?

Just an accessory to karma?

A mere remnant of sin?

“Look,” said the Lord of Calamity with a sudden smile, “Is it not extremely difficult to scheme against the Heavenly Emperor within the world?

Under the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it’s almost like an immortal talisman.”

Several experts looked over at once.

Daoist Luya asked: “If that’s all the strength you have, fellow Daoist, our cooperation might have trouble moving forward.”

“Eh, fellow Daoist, don’t be hasty!”

The Lord of Calamity said with a smile:

“The Jie Sect Immortals can only stay for a while in the Western Continent.

They seem numerous, but it is just a momentary zeal that unites them.

They will retreat on their own after some time.

“The most troublesome part of this decree is that it has been approved by the Heavenly Dao.

We just need to show ourselves less for the time being.

“Don’t you find it interesting?

The Chief Left Maid is actually the Chief Right Maid.”

The Roc was puzzled: “What’s the difference between left and right?

Aren’t both of them heads of the Maids for Nüwa?”

“Not at all, the Nüwa Palace itself is on the edge where the Human Race and Hundred Clans clash.

“Indeed, we had several collaborations with the former Chief Left Maid, but that was through using the Hundred Clans’ methods, influencing her through the maids under her to plead with Nüwa.

“Plus, with the Human Race’s setbacks in warfare, Nüwa did not wish to see living beings suffer, so she allowed the Chief Left Maid to release such statements.

“But after Li Ping’an’s birth, when Nüwa returned from beyond the heavens, she warned the Chief Left Maid to straighten her stance.

“Since then, the Chief Left Maid secretly purged maids who were biased towards the Hundred Clans.

“This time, the reason I made such a plan to stealthily attack the Heavenly Emperor is because the fake ‘Chief Left Maid’ used the news of the Heavenly Emperor returning to the Heavenly Academy to give a lecture, purposely tempting me; I then made the full plan…

Now I think about it, there must be many Ministers in the Human Race who are hoping for Li Ping’an’s death.”

The Heavenly Cicada’s eyes lit up: “My lord, can we use this to divide the Human Race…”

“We can only spread some embellished rumors to let everyone from top to bottom in the East Continent know of this matter.”

The Lord of Calamity shook his head slightly:

“But still, using this to rally the forces of the Human Race, that’s far from enough.

“Anyway, we can’t do much right now, just release the message in different parts of the East Continent.

Let me think…

just say that the position of the Heavenly Emperor should have been to the Human Emperor.

If the Human Emperor does not become the Heavenly Emperor, then the position is false.

“As for the specifics, you figure it out, Heavenly Cicada.”

“Yes!”

The Heavenly Cicada’s mouth curled into a slight smile: “I really want to see if the Human Race’s Qi Cultivators support the Human Emperor or the Heavenly Emperor.”

He flashed out of the Treasure Bead and then quietly returned to the main world, heading for the East Continent.

Inside the bead.

The Lord of Calamity raised his hand to touch his chin, pondering the next plan.

“If such rumors can have an effect, then we might not have to act for a while when we attack the Xuanyuan Palace later, and the Intercepting Sect might not intervene.

“The Jie Sect’s stance is the clearest; they support the Heavenly Emperor in order to earn merits.

“The Chan Teaching should also support the Heavenly Emperor, but Guang Chengzi and Xuanyuan Huangdi are master and disciple…

We still have to act against the Hall of Esteemed Sages, but we must not target the harem of Xuanyuan Huangdi…”
