372: Chapter 136: Dazhi’s Three Questions, Ping’an Quells the Demon_3 372: Chapter 136: Dazhi’s Three Questions, Ping’an Quells the Demon_3 “What is the righteous path?
What is the righteous spirit!”
“Senior, have you ever considered?
Among those Golden Immortals who expanded territories for the Human Race, some committed outrageous acts, while others abided by rules and orders.
By favoring and protecting such troublemakers, are you not disillusioning the hearts of the many who abide by the rules?”
“Do you even care to see?
Look at what your former subordinates have done!
Do you think his long list of crimes merits execution?”
“Destroying sects, exterminating entire families, does he deserve to die!”
“Conspiring with the Demon Race, harming the Human Race, does he deserve to die!”
“Cultivating fiends, provoking the Eastern Alliance, does he deserve to die!”
“Harming the loyal and good, assassinating meritorious officials, does he deserve to die!”
Does this Vice Hall Master deserve to die!”
The Daoist with the ghost mask struggled violently but was firmly pinned down by two Golden Immortal warriors.
He exclaimed angrily, “I have no grudges with you!
Why must you persist in persecuting me today!”
“The hell, you got amnesia?”
“The Blood Fiend Hall attacked Dong’an City two or three times, each time aiming to slaughter the immortals of our Wanyun Sect.”
“If he does not die today, I will head to the Yellow Emperor’s presence and crash my head into a pillar!”
“In this bright and righteous world, during the prosperous era of the Human Race, how could you, a wretched cur, distort right and wrong?”
The Daoist with the ghost mask looked as if he wanted to devour someone with the fierceness in his eyes.
The Heavenly Crane elder slowly closed his eyes and sighed, “This man should be executed.”
Just as he spoke, the Heavenly Crane elder raised his hand without warning and was about to strike the Daoist with the ghost mask from a distance.
However, before Heavenly Crane’s hand could fall, a large hand gripped his arm.
Tianli, the elder, said with squinted eyes and a smile, “No rush, Li Dazhi still has a third question.”
Li Ping’an, who had been spectating the scene, put away his Jade Talisman and stepped forward with a cupped fist salute.
The Daoist Zisang responsible for restraining him had no intention of lifting a hand.
Li Ping’an spoke loudly, “Senior!
I loathe this man to the extreme.
May I have permission to step forward and slap him?”
Tianli, the elder, stretched out a finger and sealed the Daoist’s Primordial Spirit, chuckling as he said, “Go on, give him a slap.
Ping’an, this child, is so gentle.
Facing a mortal enemy, he only wishes to slap him.”
Li Ping’an straightened his robes and rode the clouds towards the Daoist with the ghost mask.
Heavenly Crane, watching Tianli, transmitted his concern with a frown, “If his true face is revealed, what will become of the many immortals from his sect?
“Without being an immortal yet, could Ping’an possibly remove the prohibition on this man’s face?”
Tianli, the elder, reasoned this way, and Heavenly Crane, upon hearing it, also thought it made sense.
Perhaps this was just the young man’s way of venting his frustration…
Li Ping’an gazed at the Daoist with the ghost mask, who now had a somewhat vacant look in his eyes with his Primordial Spirit sealed.
Li Ping’an raised his right hand and gently swung a slap at the Daoist with the ghost mask.
All of a sudden, a beam of golden light emerged from Li Ping’an’s sleeve, stopping just half an inch from the Daoist with the ghost mask, transforming into the figure of an old Daoist in a gray robe.
The old Daoist struck the mask of the Daoist with his palm, his pure Golden Immortal power tearing apart the prohibition on the Daoist’s body.
With a crisp sound, the Daoist’s mask flew off, and the gray light around his body exploded, revealing the face within.
The whole world fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.
Before, there were two flashes of golden light within Li Ping’an’s sleeve.
The second was actually the patriarch of the Wanyun Sect, who was supposedly retreating but in reality, had been hiding within Li Ping’an’s sleeve all along!
Daoist Kongming frowned as he looked at the old face before him, momentarily unsure whether to laugh or cry.
The true face of the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Fiend Hall was revealed.
The founding patriarch of the Sea Watch Sect, the leader of the four Golden Immortals of the Sea Watch Sect, the master of the third Sea Watch Sect elder.
The Heavenly Crane elder sighed deeply and closed his eyes, saying no more.
However, Li Dazhi cupped his hands together and continued to ask his third question,
“I have one last question, and it might be a bit presumptuous and offensive, but I must speak my mind.
“Do the officials of the Eastern Alliance have a benchmark for virtue?”
After speaking, Li Dazhi turned and descended from the clouds, leaving Tianli, the elder, staring after his retreating figure.
