[Third Update!]_3 264: Chapter 100 Ping’an Analyzing the Ocean!
[Third Update!]_3 “No need, Sect Leader,” Li Ping’an’s eyes flashed with brilliance, “If my side isn’t enough, I will speak up to our sect.
The first two matters are official business, but this next one is personal vengeance.
My father taught me to distinguish between public and private affairs, and I will certainly heed his teachings.”
Li Dazhi rose and said, “Alright then, Ping’an, since you have a plan, I won’t worry.
I’ll go and keep Xiaoyue company.”
You mustn’t leave the sect!”
I’m not some inexperienced youngster, don’t fret needlessly!”
Li Dazhi waved his hand and hurried to the back hall.
Li Ping’an exchanged a meaningful glance with the Sect Leader, and a gleam of light appeared in both their eyes.
Li Ping’an whispered, “Elder Yansheng, I’ll trouble you to keep an eye on my father.
I know his personality all too well; he would dare to attack Sea Watch Sect’s mountain gate dressed in nothing but a night robe.”
Elder Yansheng nodded in agreement.
Wei Yanzier could not afford to nurse his injuries and rushed back to the town the same day.
As instructed by Li Ping’an, Wei Yanzier changed his appearance, altered his Dao Charm, and, within two days, had spent a large amount of Spirit Stones to hire a bunch of Loose Cultivators at the Merge True Realm.
On the third day following Xiaoyue’s injury.
Groups of masked Loose Cultivators appeared from the six towns along the East Sea shore, barged into Sea Watch Sect’s Magic Artifact shops, smashed them up, and then turned tail and fled.
The Immortals stationed in the towns by Sea Watch Sect caught a few Loose Cultivators, only to find out these cultivators had no idea who the mastermind was.
After several slaps that left them seriously injured, their Primordial Souls were sealed, and they were hung in front of the shops for public display.
When news of this reached Wanyun Sect, Li Ping’an immediately wrote a letter and asked the sect to send a True Immortal to deliver it to Wei Yanzier.
Wei Yanzier carefully examined the Jade Talisman, his mouth agape in shock.
Wei Yanzier immediately chose several of Wanyun Sect’s shops, had the disciple servants remove all the valuable items in advance, and replaced them with common Magic Artifacts.
On the fourth day, a group of masked Loose Cultivators smashed these shops belonging to Wanyun Sect.
Wanyun Sect’s Immortals caught several people, and after some interrogation, the culprits couldn’t withstand the torture and cried out in the streets:
“It was an Immortal from Sea Watch Sect who found us and gave us a few hundred Spirit Stones!”
Afterward, the Immortals from Wanyun Sect seemingly let these Loose Cultivators go but actually sent them to other towns for secret protection.
Several old True Immortals from Wanyun Sect stood forth and proclaimed to all sides:
“Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor!
We at Wanyun Sect will not entangle with the Loose Cultivators, we seek only the one behind the scenes!”
The comparison made the difference clear.
Sea Watch Sect rapidly lost its good reputation; many Loose Cultivators secretly cursed them for being domineering, pettish, and for not being able to see others doing well.
On the fifth day, some friction occurred in the towns;
On the seventh day, the friction escalated into a standoff between the two sects, from Immortals to disciple servants, both sides were on edge, seemingly about to come to blows.
On the other side, the Sect Leader took three Heavenly Immortal old women with him and rushed to the headquarters of the Eastern Alliance in the sky above Tian Zhi Xu.
These three old women knew how to ‘lament.’
At that time, the Eastern Alliance didn’t have a dedicated office for handling sect conflicts.
Those receiving the Wanyun Sect delegation were several on-duty old Heavenly Immortals.
After the Sect Leader recounted the Blood Fiend Hall incident, the old ladies started wiping away their tears with their handkerchiefs.
They acted as though it was their own Wanyun Sect that was destroyed in the attack, that dozens of their disciples had been harmed.
The Immortals from the Eastern Alliance who received them immediately felt overwhelmed.
With this matter reported up the ranks, a Vice Hall Master from the Golden Immortal Realm appeared, who, after hearing the old women’s narrative, also felt that Blood Fiend Hall should not be overlooked.
Just then, Zisang Daoist, who had been wandering everywhere, returned to the Eastern Alliance headquarters and brought the first official ‘public missive’ from Li Ping’an as a third-grade inspector.
“A Brief Report on the Threats Posed by Blood Fiend Hall – Attached: The Sins Committed by Blood Fiend Hall in the Last Three Hundred Years.”
After reading the report, the Vice Hall Master took it to the rear Immortal Palaces.
The Sect Leader and his group waited for half a day before receiving the vice mandate from the Eastern Alliance.
This was the first time the Eastern Alliance issued such an order to the entire East Continent:
“[Blood Fiend Hall has gathered forces of evil, harboring many monstrous demons, and their crimes are unforgivable and ought to be annihilated.]”
This officially declared the assassin group known as Blood Fiend Hall as the enemy of the Qi Cultivators of the Human Race.
Thus, in just seven days, Li Ping’an’s first two plans had been successfully completed!
By this time, Xiaoyue had already awakened, with Li Dazhi attentively taking care of her.
Li Ping’an asked Elder Yansheng for two Sect-Returning Orders and quietly left the sect with his newly emerged master.
He traveled six thousand miles to the east and found a small town.
Everything he had done up to then, causing conflict between Wanyun Sect and Sea Watch Sect and getting the Eastern Alliance to classify Blood Fiend Hall, was all to lay the groundwork for his real plan.
He didn’t harbor much hatred towards Sea Watch Sect itself.
But there was no choice; if he didn’t step up, his father would; as long as he showed enough anger, his father would turn around and comfort him.
Sea Watch Sect had made countless mistakes, one above all, they should never have harmed Xiaoyue, whom his father was already courting.
Li Ping’an said, “Master, I apologize for the inconvenience.”
Qing Su gently shook her head, performed a transformation technique, and turned into a pendant, clinging to Li Ping’an’s chest.
Li Ping’an found a place to stay in the town, changed his appearance, sent out a Jade Talisman, and patiently waited half a day.
A male cultivator flew in from the south and, under Li Ping’an’s guidance, met him in a room at the town’s inn.
It was none other than…
Xuntian Xu, the son of Xu Sheng who had wandered the outside world for a thousand years and had dabbled in some demonic practices.
