255: Chapter 97: The Eastern Envoy Visits Wanyun【Third Update for Votes】 255: Chapter 97: The Eastern Envoy Visits Wanyun【Third Update for Votes】 “Qi Ge!”
A youth vaulted over the wall and landed in the courtyard.
His stature was not robust, but his face already bore the mark of striking features, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and a trace of a smile on his lips.
Li Jing said with a smile, “The senior brothers and sisters of the outer sect are all very good.
We’ll stay here for a few years, and as long as we enter the Void Refinement Realm, we can follow them on patrol in the mountains or be stationed in the towns outside!”
Niu Qi sighed in resignation, “Not everyone is a cultivation maniac like you.
You spent three years at the Liuyun Temple and managed to rush to the sixth rank of Ning Guang.
I’m still trying to gather my spirit.”
Li Jing laughed heartily, hands on his hips, standing in the courtyard, and spoke earnestly:
“Qi Ge, do not lose heart!
The world is vast, and we should travel it far and wide!
“It is now the golden age of the Human Race!
We should cultivate well, acquire skills, and then head to the border of the Western Continent to slay demons and eradicate evil!
“By the way, Qi Ge, have you heard?
There’s a battle at the border of the Western Continent!”
A twitch passed over the corners of Niu Qi’s mouth.
He had heard more than just rumors.
The fight was nearly on his doorstep!
Luckily, he had the foresight; after he lost his sable beauty, he immediately made preparations to flee.
Before this, he had already shouldered that volcano and moved his family north a thousand miles.
Niu Qi was just about to respond nonchalantly to Li Jing when suddenly there was a disturbance of Spiritual Energy in the air.
The melodious sound of a bell spread across the evening sky.
A thin barrier of light shimmered with the seven colors of the sunset in the sky; it was the Mountain Protection Array of Wanyun Sect.
At this moment, the Mountain Protection Array opened a portal.
Two white clouds rose and transformed into a rainbow staircase, extending from the sect gate toward the main hall of Wanyun Sect.
Several figures flew out of the main hall, leading them was the Sect Leader of Wanyun Sect, Yun Mo.
The Sect Leader announced loudly:
“Envoy of the Eastern Alliance, your presence graces us!
Any Immortal of Wanyun Sect not preoccupied is welcomed to greet the visitors!”
Beams of immortal light flew out from the thirty-six peaks, and a bustle immediately formed behind the Sect Leader of Wanyun Sect.
Niu Qi instantly perked up, staring wide-eyed upwards.
Li Jing leaped onto the rooftop, curiously looking beyond the array.
The immortal soldiers of the Eastern Alliance!”
Niu Qi focused his gaze, and his fists clenched immediately.
Above, two rows of silver-armored immortal soldiers advanced on clouds.
Following these two rows of immortal soldiers, a three-zhang-tall ancient mythical beast with a single horn, the Kuiniu, pulled a carriage.
On the carriage were three elderly men in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, who were now standing up to disembark.
The Sect Leader of Wanyun Sect, accompanied by a group of Peak Masters and elders, advanced to greet them.
“Greetings to the three envoys!”
Besides being envoys of the Eastern Alliance, these three elders also held another status—that of high-ranking elders in some sects.
The three elderly Heavenly Immortals returned the greeting in unison.
The one in the middle held a piece of Divine Cloth enveloped with immortal light and smiled, saying:
“Greetings to Sect Leader Yun Mo.
Today we are commanded to come here to proclaim the decree of the Alliance Hierarch to Wanyun Sect.”
There was a slight stir among the Immortals of Wanyun Sect.
They had thought this was a conscription order from the Eastern Alliance.
The Sect Leader asked with a smile, “May I know the content of this decree?”
“We do not know either; it was just sent out from the alliance hall,” the envoy replied with a smile.
“Please summon Qing Su of Wanyun Sect and Li Ping’an, disciple of Wanyun Sect, to receive the decree of the Alliance Hierarch!”
The Sect Leader said with a smile, “As I thought, it has to do with those teacher and disciples; it should be some sort of reward…
Esteemed guests, please take your seats in the main hall!
Summon Qing Su and Ping’an, and please also invite Dazhi, Brother, to the main hall!”
The Immortals greeted each other, full of mirth.
An elder from the Wanyun Sect’s inner sect stepped forward to lead the way, casually slipping a few storage rings to the three envoys of the Eastern Alliance.
The envoys did not refuse and calmly tucked them into their sleeves.
A moment later, the immortals descended to the main peak’s main hall and took their seats according to their status.
After exchanging pleasantries for a few sentences, Sect Leader Yun Mo saw Li Dazhi riding a cloud approaching, and Li Ping’an, stepping on his broken sword scabbard, slowly drifted from another direction.
The Sect Leader looked somewhat puzzled.
The Master of Caiyun Peak hurriedly said, “Qing Su should be in seclusion.”
The three emissaries from the eastern alliance showed displeasure.
As Li Ping’an landed at the entrance of the hall, one of the three eastern alliance emissaries furrowed his brow and asked:
“The seniors at the Alliance Hall instructed that the one to receive this divine token must be the Heavenly Immortal Qing Su, along with his disciple Li Ping’an.
That should be a female immortal, right?”
At the entrance of the hall.
Li Ping’an, who was stepping inside, tripped slightly, his figure stumbled a bit, and a golden square token fell out from his sleeve, revealing the words “Tianli,” exuding a rich and oppressive aura.
The three old Heavenly Immortals fixed their eyes on it, all six eyes widening, and they nearly rose to their feet at the same time.
Li Ping’an picked up the token and hastily clasped his hands: “Didn’t see the threshold, sorry, sorry.”
In front, Li Dazhi was holding back laughter in various ways.
Li Ping’an put the token back into his sleeve and greeted the Sect Leader and all the Peak Masters and Elders, then said:
“My teacher has been eradicating demons in the Western Continent for three years and went into seclusion urgently as soon as he returned to the sect.
If there has been any disrespect, please excuse us, esteemed seniors.”
The three emissaries immediately said:
“Going into seclusion is good!
Seize the time to enhance your strength, it can also add a bit more combat power to the Human Race!”
“No need to worry, Daoist Ping’an, you receiving the directive on behalf of your master is fine!”
The immortals of Wanyun Sect themselves realized that it was the token Li Ping’an had just revealed that had subdued these three old Heavenly Immortals.
The three emissaries did not dare to act arrogantly and hurriedly proceeded with the formalities.
At the same time, they each pointed at the scroll, which burst into radiant five-colored rays of light.
The emissary in the middle showed a solemn expression, slowly unrolled the scroll, looked at it carefully for a few moments, and his face changed, looking up towards Li Ping’an.
The emissary murmured softly, while the two other old Heavenly Immortals and the more than ten Elders and Peak Masters of Wanyun Sect nearby crowded around.
Upon seeing the contents of the scroll, their Dao Bodies all shuddered.
A third-rank inspector?
If they found an elemental immortal of the Human Race causing disaster, they had the authority to execute first and report later?
Inspect all places in the eastern alliance, supervise the gates of each sect!
Such an important position given to a disciple of Wanyun Sect in the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm?
Not even to Qing Su in the Heavenly Immortal Realm?
The central emissary held the scroll tight, took a deep breath, and immediately said:
I need to return to Alliance Hall to verify this, and there are also two treasures I forgot to bring.
Please wait a moment, it’s my oversight.”
Li Ping’an stood there with a bit of confusion, honestly waiting.
Li Dazhi, with his sleeves tucked in and his bald head shining, moved next to Li Ping’an and whispered, “Good fellow, son, have you caught up with the daughter of the Alliance Hierarch?”
“Don’t make that kind of joke.”
Li Ping’an thought of Aunt Wen Rou and his lips curled up into a slight smile, then said, “Dad, if there is a chance later, I will introduce a Heavenly Immortal from the eastern alliance to you.”
Li Dazhi laughed and said, “Which Heavenly Immortal?
You want to introduce me to them?”
“Yes, it will be of great benefit to the future development of our Wanyun Sect.”
“That’s good,” Li Dazhi laughed, “I’ll prepare a few more bottles of fine wine.
The eastern alliance nominally oversees all the sects, so it’s good to have a relationship with them.”
Li Ping’an’s eyes narrowed with a smile.
Two of the three old Heavenly Immortals left, with one remaining to console the immortals of Wanyun Sect.
In his heart, Li Ping’an also held some expectations.
Forgotten to bring two treasures?
The senior Tianli seemed generous; worthy of being the third deputy hierarch, much more reliable than his own Sect Leader who still owed him seven or eight Immortal Treasures.
