Daoist Luya sighed:
“My concern is that if the esteed Calamity is angered, he may cut off our incense offerings and rits.”
“What use is the internal Heavenly Dao then?”
Li Ping’an glanced at him briefly:
“Indecision leads to disaster.
Why have you beco so indecisive now?”
“Yes,” Daoist Luya nodded quickly, “Your son will follow your every command, Father.”
“No need for that,” Li Ping’an said, “You must have your own opinions, sothing I’ve been teaching you since you were young.”
“Then, Father, should I take those old Officials of yours with ?”
“What old Officials do I have?” Li Ping’an squinted his eyes slightly, “Those are rely remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
You decide on this matter.
Whether it’s using them to deplete the strength of the Human Emperor or keeping them as future bargaining chips, both outcos are advantageous to .”
Daoist Luya nodded slowly and said in a soft voice, “Then I will secretly gather those Ministers who are on good terms with .”
“Go.”
Li Ping’an said: “Since Chan Teaching has already intervened, with the threat of the Dao Immortal Tribulation, Jie Sect will surely show up too.
It is best to act sooner rather than later.
After leaving today, we shall refer to each other as Daoist friends.
Rember, I am this new Heavenly Emperor.”
“Yes!”
Daoist Luya’s eyes were filled with reluctance.
He stood up, backed away two steps, then bowed deeply, his head bowed as he let out several sobs, sounding like the cry of a bird.
Li Ping’an gave no response, his gaze as tranquil as the surface of a lake, with a slight smile hanging on his lips.
Daoist Luya stood up and looked back, then turned into a beam of golden light and disappeared.
Is it done?
Li Ping’an felt weary in body and mind.
‘Should I send a ssage to my brother Xuanyuan?’
He pondered for a mont and then dismissed the idea.
The sches here are after all but a ploy I’ve used to set Luya and the esteed Calamity against each other – the more one does, the more mistakes one makes.
Chan Teaching is here to diate the conflicts among the Hundred Clans; they will show themselves only briefly and will not always keep their eyes on the Western Continent.
If Luya withdraws on his own, it will alleviate the pressure on the Human Race substantially.
Luya’s Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife is truly fearso.
Fortunately, his previous attacks were all against the Human Emperor.
If Luya turned his focus to Fenghou and the other divine generals, the Human Race would likely suffer significant losses.
If Luya not only withdraws but also takes so of the Old Ministers of the Heavenly Court with him, breaking up the alliance between the Ancient Heavenly Court and Chiyou’s coalition forces…
Then this difficult battle could not only be won by the Human Race, but the costs would also be much lower.
Li Ping’an gazed at the Western Continent, his heart filled with emotion:
‘This is all I can do now, good luck to you all.’
Li Ping’an rose to leave and Mo Linyuan, who had been waiting a long ti, rushed in and knelt at Li Ping’an’s feet.
“Your Majesty, do you require a large army?
This official has a troop of soldiers originally intended for the use of the Heavenly Dao, but now they are conveniently at Your Majesty’s disposal!”
“An army?”
Li Ping’an’s eyebrows raised slightly, and he asked in a calm voice, “Where did you get these soldiers from?”
“This…”
The smile on Mo Linyuan’s face grew a bit awkward as he raised his head to look at Li Ping’an’s expressionless face and said in a low voice:
“For years, this official has been preparing a force for the Heavenly Dao, to prevent a repeat of the ancient tis when the Heavenly Emperor sealed the Heavenly Dao.
“This, this is a mandate from the Heavenly Dao for this old official to act upon!”
Li Ping’an spoke coldly: “Do you think I am unaware of matters concerning the Heavenly Dao?”
“You know, of course you know!
This is, this was prepared because the old official thought it should be so!
Please forgive !”
“Rise,” Li Ping’an said indifferently, “Since you say you have soldiers, let see them.”
“Yes, please follow .
We need to leave this grand hall first.”
Mo Linyuan said quietly:
“Please move this way, follow this old official.”
Li Ping’an was inwardly on guard, glancing at the Jade Pool that was slowly approaching.
— With Daoist Luya gone, there was no fear of being exposed by him upon closer approach, and Mo Linyuan’s Great Luo Dao Realm was propped up by the Heavenly Dao, so his strength was not particularly formidable.
She was also sowhat curious.
Mo Linyuan had so reputation; ever since the downfall of the Ancient Heavenly Court, this old crow had been doing good deeds everywhere, and the outcos of his good deeds were mostly ill-fated.
Mo Linyuan led Li Ping’an out of the grand hall, flying straight into the depths of the vast forest at the Northern Sea Edge.
Jade Pool followed close by Li Ping’an’s side, her expression also changing slightly.
She had never been to this place before.
It was only now, being here, that Jade Pool realized this place contained an astoundingly potent force of the Heavenly Dao, which seed to stem from the internal Heavenly Dao.
Li Ping’an had noticed this as well and was already thinking of making his retreat.
This old servant of heaven was too weird and complex in composition.
Li Ping’an suddenly halted, floating above a tree branch, a faint smile forming on his lips.
“Your Majesty?”
Mo Linyuan looked over, puzzled.
Li Ping’an spoke softly: “I shall not visit today, I need to return and rest, as my spirit is sowhat unstable.”
“This?”
Deep disappointnt appeared on Mo Linyuan’s face as he hurriedly said:
“Just ahead at the biggest tree trunk, there’s an opening inside.
If you go down, you can find those soldiers.”
“Not today,” Li Ping’an frowned and said, “Let’s stop here for today.
Once my spirit has stabilized and I need troops again, I will co to seek you out.”
“Ah, yes!”
Mo Linyuan’s voice trembled: “Rest assured, this official will absolutely not leak a word about today’s affairs!”
Li Ping’an shook his head and flew directly out of the forest atop a cloud.
The eerie and unsettling feeling that had shrouded his heart quietly dissipated.
‘What ghostly thing is hidden here?’
As Li Ping’an looked down at the forest below, his heart was filled with both curiosity and wariness.
‘This place is likely related to the internal Heavenly Dao.
Perhaps it would be prudent to invite so experts later and directly eradicate this spot.’
