272: Chapter 103: Insulting the Crowd with One’s Words_2 272: Chapter 103: Insulting the Crowd with One’s Words_2 A general pinched the Primordial Spirit of the Poison Dragon Shatter, and using so unknown secret technique, the seemingly benign old Taoist spilled everything, detailing how he arranged the sneak attack on the Immortals of the Wanyun Sect.
Li Ping’an had thought that those who ‘mingled in the underworld’ all adhered to so code of honor, and even ‘professional assassins’ would have their principles, never easily betraying the information of their employers.
However…
The general pinched the Primordial Spirit of the Poison Dragon Shatter again, and the old Taoist, without reservation, let everything slip.
The things revealed by the Poison Dragon Shatter not only made Li Ping’an and Zisang, the two younger n, exchange bewildered looks, but even the twelve generals found it incredulous after hearing it.
By that ti, Li Ping’an no longer hesitated; he crushed the second Jade Talisman hidden in his sleeve.
Li Dazhi, upon receiving the ssage, activated the teleportation array.
Li Ping’an now was certain that as long as the Immortals of the Wanyun Sect reached the Sea Watch Sect and made a sufficiently large commotion, they could not lose this battle!
They didn’t plan for victory beforehand but planned for what ca after.
As Li Ping’an and the Immortals of the East Continent hid amongst the clouds, overlooking the Sea Watch Sect’s mountain gate, he began to ponder and deduce what fate awaited the Sea Watch Sect after this day and how they would retaliate against the Wanyun Sect.
The Sea Watch Sect was one of the ten great Immortal Sects in The Path of Immortality, with four Golden Immortals in residence.
It seed rather unlikely that a single deeply sinful third elder could bring about the dissolution of such a sect.
The situation today was also born of helplessness.
The Sea Watch Sect had begun to assassinate the Immortals of the Wanyun Sect.
If the Wanyun Sect could not strike back, they would be unable to establish a footing in the East Continent thereafter.
Li Ping’an and the others waited for a mont until the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth suddenly began to tremble.
More than two thousand Immortals from the Wanyun Sect charged through the teleportation array, their rage billowing and their presence overwhelming, as they pressed down on the Sea Watch Sect!
Li Ping’an laughed and said, “Elder Wen Rou, the one at the very front with the short hair is my father.
He is known as the man of Great Fortune and the na of Great Wealth.”
Elder Wen Rou, a Heavenly Immortal, laughed and said, “I did see his portrait in the Eastern Alliance.”
A commander laughed and said, “Your esteed father is indeed a person of extraordinary bearing.”
Qing Su asked, “Shall we reveal ourselves now?”
“Master, there’s no rush,” Li Ping’an said to his own master with a smile.
“Shortly, we’ll need a few generals to make an appearance to handle so official Eastern Alliance matters, claiming that the Eastern Alliance has caught a group of Demon Race spies, which can also prevent the downfall of our sect from within.”
The generals nodded to each other, for handling such matters would allow them to gain lilight, display their authority, and earn the gratitude of the esteed Patrol Envoy—why would they refuse?
Wen Rou pondered for a mont but quickly grasped the deeper aning in Li Ping’an’s words.
She laughed and said, “Ping’an’s strategies are truly astonishing.”
“I dare not claim so,” Li Ping’an said earnestly.
“Please observe, Elder, my strategies are far inferior to even half of my father’s.”
“Is that so?”
“My father intentionally maintains such a common rchant’s guise.”
Li Ping’an laughed and continued:
“It’s simply because, before my father achieved immortality, he was scorned too many tis.
He cultivated later in life, and his ways in the world are sowhat shrewd; he’s also mild-mannered and cultured, and has always been mocked for being too much like a worldly rchant.
“My father is not annoyed by this, and even uses such matters to teach , to let cultivate in peace and keep a serene heart for the Great Dao.”
Wen Rou couldn’t help but scrutinize Li Dazhi, who had a stern face.
Zisang, standing on the side, couldn’t help but raise his hand to pinch his own earlobe.
In the southeastern part of the Western Continent, he had mingled with Li Ping’an for two years, earning accolades and rewards, and he had also co to know the ‘terrifying’ aspects of Li Ping’an.
At this mont, Zisang had the feeling that Li Ping’an seed to be targeting his own master, but he didn’t know what Li Ping’an intended to have his master do…
Suddenly, they heard:
“Your Li family’s grandfather is here!
Co out and answer !”
Wen Rou couldn’t help but let out a chuckle and turned to look at Li Ping’an, “Your esteed father is truly cultured.”
“Heh, hehehe.”
Li Ping’an laugh awkwardly and stepped back behind his own master.
All his talking had been in vain.
Qing Su turned her head to look at him and her beautiful face carried a touch more of a smile, no longer showing any trace of frustration from ‘going around in circles without getting a chance to take action.’
…
Dang dang dang—
Inside the Sea Watch Sect, the bell rang loudly, striking up a rhythm like that of the gongs and drums.
Hundreds of figures were the first to rush out of the Mountain Protection Array, and more silhouettes surged out from all directions.
Naturally, they had long since noticed the presence of a Yuan Sect elder lingering three hundred li from their mountain gate;
but top to bottom, no one within the Sea Watch Sect could have imagined that these Yuan Sect elders were rely in charge of ‘opening the door,’ and in a mont, they had brought the whole group of Wanyun Sect Immortals!
Interestingly, although there was an urgent ringing of bells within the Sea Watch Sect, many Immortals were simply watching from their towers and were not in a hurry to show themselves.
The one who ca out to challenge them was Li Dazhi; although he was currently the most famous Immortal from the Wanyun Sect, he was not the current Sect Leader.
Thus, the leader of the Sea Watch Sect remained unseen.
The top-ranked Heavenly Immortal elder of the Sea Watch Sect now ca forward, riding the clouds, wielding his horsetail whisk, and pointing at Li Dazhi as he yelled:
“Scoundrel!
This is Sea Watch Mountain Gate!
Not a place where you can run wild!
Why has the Wanyun Sect co in force!
Have all of you really forgotten the rules of the East Continent!”
“Hahahaha!”
Li Dazhi burst into laughter, looking up and shouting, his Longsword glittering with golden light:
“You old fool!
Dare you speak of the rules of the East Continent!
“Everything that the Sea Watch Sect has done, you know well, yet here you stand, feigning ignorance and stupidity!
“For how many years!
The Sea Watch Sect has been harassing the Wanyun Sect at every turn, smashing our sect’s artifact shops, tarnishing our sect’s reputation, and now even hiring assassins, enlisting those Demon Cultivators and fiends from the Blood Fiend Hall, wishing to kill our Wanyun Sect mbers!
“You Sea Watch Sect still dare to call yourselves a noble and great sect!
You are nothing but shaless scoundrels!”
The great elder of the Sea Watch Sect turned red with anger and bellowed back: “Lies and nonsense!
Shalessly wrangling words!”
Li Dazhi spat belligerently: “The Wanyun Sect has been patient again and again, considering the bigger picture in everything, not stooping to your level!
But you have beco more ruthless, reckless, and increasingly outrageous!
Our Wanyun Sect follows the teachings of our forefathers, not daring to engage in acts detrintal to the unity of the East Continent, and what about you?
Your willful actions show no consideration for the East Continent, no respect for the Eastern Alliance, no rembrance of the hundred thousand years of struggle endured by our Human Race!”
