335: Chapter 123 Is This Reasonable?_3 335: Chapter 123 Is This Reasonable?_3 “I made a special trip home to ask my Ye family elders about this and learned some general information,”
“Does Brother Li know of Wanmo Heaven?”
“Yes, the number one demon cultivator group, who committed a shocking bloodbath thirty thousand years ago.”
“Wanmo Heaven has a very deep background.”
Zisang the Taoist whispered, but couldn’t help lowering his voice:
“It seems that they have hidden disciples of some sect hierarchs…
disciples from the western hierarchs.”
Li Ping’an frowned deeply.
Does Wanmo Heaven have a background in the Western Sect?
Zisang continued to whisper:
“There are five great sect hierarchs in the world, each of whom the Human Race cannot afford to offend, capable of destroying heavens and earth themselves!”
“Our Human Race was able to overthrow the Ancient Heavenly Court and defeat the Hundred Clans precisely because we had the aid of Chan Teaching and Human Teachings.
Cut Teaching managed to restrain many saint disciples, preventing those who should have gone back to support the Hundred Clans from joining the battle.”
“At the curtain fall of ancient times, for some unknown reason, the hierarchs of Chan Teaching and Cut Teaching declared that their disciples must close their doors and cultivate for a full eon, not leaving at will.”
“It is said that several hierarchs had foreseen a major catastrophe, aimed specifically at the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect.”
“So, Brother Li, the world you see now is dominated by our Human Race, with the Hundred Clans cowering.”
“But why can’t we eliminate the remnants of the Demon Race in the Western Continent?
It’s simply because the two hierarchs over there do not permit it.”
Li Ping’an asked, “The strength of the Holy Mother isn’t enough to balance out the Western Sect?”
“The Western Sect has two hierarchs, who are quite tenacious.”
Li Ping’an then asked, “If Wanmo Heaven is indeed the doing of the Western Sect and is home to all sorts of demons and devils, why not wipe it out directly?”
“The problem is, some disciples from the West are also in the upper echelons of the Eastern Alliance.”
Zisang said in a low voice:
“Don’t spread this, but among the high ranks of the Eastern Alliance are third-generation disciples of Chan Teaching, second-generation of Cut Teaching, and naturally, those of the Western Sect.”
“When our Human Race was at the brink of extinction in ancient times, the Western Sect lent a helping hand, albeit not much actual help, but they passed down some cultivation methods, and ever since then, they keep demanding favors from the Human Race’s experts.”
“The Qi Cultivators of the Human Race are all loyal to the Human Emperor; this is loyalty;”
“But two-thirds of the Human Race’s experts also have a Taoist lineage trailing behind them; this is righteousness;”
“Sometimes loyalty and righteousness are at odds.”
“So when Wanmo Heaven caused that great disturbance, the Eastern Alliance only secretly dealt with a bunch of demon and deviant cultivators, without completely eradicating Wanmo Heaven.”
“Brother Li, I’m telling you all this because it’s possible that the Hall Master of Blood Fiend Hall might be one of the higher-ups of the demon cultivators from Wanmo Heaven.”
Li Ping’an nodded slowly and smiled, “I already had such suspicions.”
“Oh?” Zisang looked utterly surprised.
Li Ping’an continued:
“I also know that Facing Heaven Sanctuary, ranked third among demon cultivators, was actually set up by a senior in the Eastern Alliance to contain Wanmo Heaven.”
Zisang exclaimed with wide eyes, “You know of such secrets?”
“It was previously a guess, now it’s confirmed.”
Li Ping’an raised an eyebrow, and Zisang the Taoist suddenly looked dejected.
As Li Ping’an made another move on the board, he spoke slowly:
“With the Western Sect supporting it, and the Western Sect having taken all the major demons under its wing, Wanmo Heaven must be teeming with demons.”
“The headquarters of Wanmo Heaven is most likely in the Western Continent, which coincides with too many aspects of Blood Fiend Hall, which also has a Blood Fiend accompanied by several major demons.”
“It’s quite normal for the two to be connected.”
“Indeed it is,” Zisang the Taoist asked, “So, Brother Li, what are you planning to do about it?”
Li Ping’an glanced at the glimmer of rosy light deep within his spiritual platform.
In the light, his father still stood atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the huge hole in his chest yet to heal.
After eliminating the two fiends of Blood Fiend Hall, the mountain of corpses had diminished slightly.
His current approach was the correct one.
The calamity of his father corresponded to the demon cultivators of the East Continent.
Li Ping’an asked, “How does the Eastern Alliance plan to deal with the problem of demon cultivators?”
“There’s resistance, and it’s not small.”
Zisang pondered for a few moments:
“There’s a deputy leader, whom I can’t name.”
“That deputy leader had a quarrel with my mentor, saying that during ancient times, demon cultivators were also an important fighting force for the Human Race.
If we now capture and kill a large number of demon cultivators, won’t we dishearten many of the elders?”
Li Ping’an uttered four words: “Confusing the concepts.”
“From what has been investigated, many of the great demons of Wanmo Heaven also made contributions in ancient times.”
“Blood Fiend Hall is Wanmo Heaven’s cleaver, and if we could smash this cleaver, it would also be a significant strike against Wanmo Heaven.”
Therefore, this matter was indeed quite tricky.
Zisang the Taoist said with a smile, “Now that you know all this, Brother Li, will you continue to go against Blood Fiend Hall?”
“Of course,” Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Without removing the Blood Fiend, my heart will not be at peace.”
Zisang the Taoist placed down a piece, his gaze also turning very resolute:
“I’m not one for great ambitions, but I’m still interested in doing things that can benefit people.”
Li Ping’an nodded with a smile, feeling a slight surge of joy in his Daoist heart, as he lined up five pieces in a row.
“With five in a row, I win.”
Brother Li, we’re playing Go, Go!
My skill in chess is at the nine-dan level!”
“Another round it is!
If you win just one game, we’ll switch to Go!”
A white cloud raced across the sky.
Standing on top of it was the Heavenly Immortal Wen Rou, who had returned, her expression still tinged with urgency.
