[Third Shift!]_2 263: Chapter 100 Ping’an Analyzing the Ocean!
[Third Shift!]_2 Once the immortal power barrier was established, Li Dazhi, who had been drinking tea, suddenly threw his teacup to the ground, his chest heaving violently, his nostrils quivering.
“Those sons of bitches!”
Li Dazhi cursed loudly:
“They can’t play fair, so they resort to dirty tricks!
Damn their ancestors!”
Sect Leader Yun Mo hurriedly said, “Junior Brother, maintain the stability of your Dao heart.
Our sect will definitely not let this matter rest easily.
The main issue is that Blood Fiend Hall has fled far away after their strike missed.
This is somewhat troublesome.”
Li Dazhi said directly, “Sect Leader!
I’m going to the shores of the East Sea!
Let’s see if they dare to come back!”
Elder Yansheng hastily said, “Uncle Dazhi, if you go there, I’m afraid it won’t be just a group of assassins coming our way!”
“Dad,” Li Ping’an said, “your involvement will complicate matters.
Calm down first and let’s think of a solution.”
He took out a leaf of Spiritual Root he had collected in the Western Continent from his sleeve, rolled a cigarette for Li Dazhi, lit it with the flame of his fingertip, and handed it to his father.
Li Dazhi pinched the cigarette, puffing smoke, and his anger subsided slightly.
“It’s useless to be angry, we need to make them pay.”
A fierce light flashed in Li Dazhi’s eyes:
“It seems we’ve been too easygoing for too long, allowing Sea Watch Sect to become even more audacious!”
Sect Leader Yun Mo asked, “Junior Brother Dazhi, what do you plan to do?”
“Let me think, I don’t have a good idea yet.”
Li Dazhi licked his lips.
He and Elder Yansheng, two smokers, began to mumble, filling the hall with the fragrance of Spiritual Root.
Li Dazhi turned to Ping’an and said, “Ping’an, do you have any good ideas?
Aunt Xiao is the one who got hurt the most.”
“I do,” Li Ping’an said, “Can we now basically confirm that it was Sea Watch Sect who hired the assassins?”
Li Dazhi nodded, “There’s no evidence, but we can be sure it was them.”
“There are ways to fight even without evidence.”
Li Ping’an bowed and said:
“I’m not personalizing the issue.
Even if Elder Xiao hadn’t been the one injured, Sea Watch Sect’s actions are essentially a declaration of war against us.
We needn’t hold back.”
“Let’s start by giving them a taste of their own medicine.
We’ll smash their shops and injure their Immortals to see how they react.”
Li Dazhi asked, “Who should we arrange to carry out this task?”
“Let Minister Weiyen handle it,” Li Ping’an said, “Having too many people involved is inappropriate.
I will provide Minister Weiyen with various disguises shortly.”
Li Dazhi turned his head to look at the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader said, “This is feasible.
As they’ve done to us, so we shall do to them, and we won’t be ridiculed by our peers.”
Li Ping’an said, “I haven’t thought through what comes next.”
Li Dazhi understood in his heart that Li Ping’an had more to say.
Li Dazhi called out directly, “Then let’s proceed with that plan for now.
Minister Weiyen rushed in.
In front of all the Heavenly Immortals, Li Ping’an handed several disguise pouches to Minister Weiyen, Elder Yansheng personally allocated funds, and all Peak Masters bore witness.
The commerce battles in the Qi refining realm are often just as plain and simple.
You smash my shop; I retaliate in kind.
After Minister Weiyen received his orders and set off to the East Sea market town to jkon with their stationed Heavenly and True Immortals, the Peak Masters and Elders left Castcloud Hall.
Only the Sect Leader, Li Dazhi, Elder Yansheng, and Li Ping’an remained.
Li Ping’an strode up to the Sect Leader, bowed deeply, and said:
I can’t tolerate this matter!
In front of all the elders, I couldn’t speak freely.
I truly don’t want to let Sea Watch Sect off the hook!”
Sect Leader Yun Mo asked, “Do you have a strategy?”
“My strategy, I will carry it out myself, I only report to inform the Sect Leader, I plan to plot against Sea Watch Sect!”
Elder Yansheng hurriedly intervened, “Ping’an, you shouldn’t speak so.
It truly could upset the Sect Leader.”
“Li Ping’an,” the Sect Leader asked with a frown, “Is it that my Wanyun Sect can no longer protect you?”
Li Ping’an looked up at the Sect Leader and smiled:
“I just thought, if they can hire assassins, why can’t we spend some Spirit Stones?”
“Oh?” The Sect Leader frowned and said, “This approach might tarnish the sect’s reputation to some extent.”
“It’s not about directly hiring assassins.
Moreover, this will be my personal action.”
“I ask the elders of the sect not to interfere too much.
I have some Treasure Spirit Stones of my own and will make arrangements accordingly.”
“My plan has three parts, and all three must be carried out simultaneously.”
“First is what I mentioned earlier: smash Sea Watch Sect’s shops outright to provoke them.
Even if it exposes our involvement, it doesn’t matter.”
“Both parties should provoke each other to the point of conflict, preferably causing some bloodshed, but without causing any deaths.
“The commotion must be big, definitely letting people know that Sea Watch Sect and our Wanyun Sect are incompatible as fire and water.”
Li Dazhi asked, “What are you planning to do?”
Li Ping’an spoke quickly:
“Secondly, please send someone to the Eastern Alliance headquarters.
Don’t mention Sea Watch Sect, only speak of Blood Fiend Hall.
Blood Fiend Hall is full of demonic cultivators and monsters, a cancerous tumor.
“Please send a few trustworthy and emotional Heavenly Immortal Elders from our sect to the Eastern Alliance.
I will author a letter in my role as an inspection emissary, reporting this assassination attempt to the Eastern Alliance.
We’ll move on two fronts.”
“The elders will wait there for the Eastern Alliance to take action, striving to get them to issue a wanted notice for Blood Fiend Hall!”
The Sect Leader said, “I will personally take a few elders there!”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!”
“The third part is the unsavory plan.
Sea Watch Sect can hire killers, and so can we.
“However, I won’t hire killers to murder.
As for the specifics, I have only a rough outline in mind, but you, Sect Leader, will know in due course.”
The Sect Leader slowly nodded and said, “The sect will cover all expenses required.”
