Chapter 569: Chapter 541: Want to Destroy the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals
âI see.â Li Fan nodded slightly, his face as calm as an ancient well, but his tone held a hint of regret. âA single careless mistake is not a fault of war.â
âHmph, you were able to deceive us for so long, youâre truly cunning!â The face on the smooth broken stone flickered in and out of visibility, reflecting his current inner turmoil.
âI should have realized something was wrong. With Zhou Qingangâs mediocre abilities, he was still able to accomplish several miracles in just a few short yearsâŠâ
âI was blinded by these impressive achievements and thought he had simply defied fate.â
âNow, looking back, the occasional stroke of luck can be explained. But several times, good luck favoring one so muchâŠâ
âHmph, Zhou Qingang is not someone of destined importance.â The face was tinged with annoyance as he slowly spoke.
However, the face was constantly focusing on Li Fan, trying to spot any traces of smugness on his face.
However, Li Fanâs expression remained constant. Even after having his identity exposed, there was not a hint of panic.
This made the face on the broken stone feel somewhat doubtful, and he eventually stopped his speech.
As a result, the underwater ruins fell silent.
After a while, it was ultimately the face who couldnât hold back, asking in a deep voice: âWho are you?!â
âThe question for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals job application, the events that happened on Ten Thousand Immortals Island when it was sealed offâŠâ
âEvery single one of these events is an absolute secret. Those who can know of these must hold high positions within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. To betray us just to gain a little meritâŠâ
âWas it done in order to gain our trust, so you can infiltrate us?â
After a meticulous reasoning process, the face concluded that Li Fan was a comrade.
âRelax, Iâm not a spy for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.â Li Fan said plainly, âOn the contrary, my purpose aligns with you, the Five Elders Organization.â
âWhich is toâŠâ
âDestroy the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!â
âWhat?â Li Fan spoke lightly, but it struck the ears of the face as a thunderbolt of surprise.
âYouâŠâ The face seemed to stand up in shock, staring dumbfounded at Li Fan.
After a moment, he quickly composed himself, full of disbelief, âAre you trying to deceive me again?â
Li Fan, as if ignoring the faceâs response, continued, âThe Immortal Alliance is ruthless, taking Cultivators for granted, and exploiting them at will. It may seem that the Allianceâs rule is unbreakable and everyone submits. ButâŠâ
Li Fanâs tone changed, revealing a sharp edge and a soaring spirit, âAs cultivators, we strive against fate. We fear nothing, not even Tiandu. Not to mention the mere Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!â
âAmong all living beings, there will always be some who would rather die than not rise up. Theyâd rather die in battle than live like livestock!â
âDeath before dishonor!â
âŠ
His aura peaked, and even the face across him was moved by his impassioned words.
At this moment, Li Fan suddenly changed the subject: âHowever, the Immortal Alliance is powerful. If we do not seize the correct means of struggle, and act recklessly, itâs no different than seeking death.â
âAlthough we are not afraid of death, we do not wish to waste our precious lives without making any contribution.â
âThereforeâŠâ Li Fan looked at the face meaningfully.
On the smooth broken stone, the face fell silent for a while after hearing, contemplative, âSo, youâre thinking of targeting us, the Five Elders Organization?â
Li Fan confessed frankly, âExactly. Even though from the current information, you Five Elders Organization are no better. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.â
Li Fan spoke with a profound and frank tone, âOr perhaps, when two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Let you dogs fight amongst each other, fight to the death. When the time comes, weâll step forward to clean up the mess and reconstruct Qiankun!â
Listening to the most absurd words in the world, the face didnât even bother to laugh, and simply sneered, âSo weâre dealing with a group of madmen.â
Li Fan remained unphased, saying earnestly, âWhen the Celestial Dharma Bearer intended to establish a new law and change the world, I suppose the majority of people also believed he was an outright madman.â
âAfter all, the strict rule of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans back then was no less momentous than the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals now.â
âBut where are the Immortal Dao Ten Clans now?â
âIf the Law Transmission succeeded, whoâs to say we Overturning Heaven SocietyâŠâ
As if accidentally revealing too much, Li Fan paused, then corrected himself, âWhoâs to say we canât do it?â
The face narrowed his eyes and gave Li Fan a deep look, not commenting further.
âIn a sense, weâre natural allies right now, arenât we?â Li Fan continued.
âActually, according to our current battle strategy, we have no plans to go against you, the Five Elders Organization, for now.â
âWe hold no malicious intentions. This can be seen from the various pieces of information I provided earlier. If we had the intention to sabotage you, we could absolutely let you Five Elders Organization suffer a great loss unknowingly.â
âThe reason we made contact with you through the identity of Zhou Qingang was simply because our identities canât be exposed within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. If someone suddenly approached you, wouldnât you think your cover had been blown and run away immediately?â
âHaha, I understand people like you all too well.â
âThat reminds me of Zhou Qingang. I just remembered, heâs still alive. Itâs not impossible to release him back to you.â
Li Fan spoke fluently and confidently.
However, the other party didnât look too pleased, âThat idiot can fend for himself!â
After a while, the face managed to suppress his anger and asked in a deep voice, âHave you said all this because you still want to work with us?â
Li Fan smiled then posed a rhetorical question, âWhy ask when you already know the answer? After realizing Zhou Qingang was exposed, you didnât immediately cut off communication and instead chatted with me for quite a while. Isnât it because youâre unsure of my identity and still craved the absolute secret information I may provide?â
âSurely you arenât suggesting that the spy network of the Five Elders Organization is idle?â
The face let out a cold laugh and didnât retort, as if acknowledging Li Fanâs words.
âAlright, thereâs no need to beat around the bush. Weâve recently received some new, top-secret information.â Li Fan slowly said, observing the faceâs reaction.
As expected, the other party changed color slightly, and a glint of desire flashed in his eyes.
âTo him, whether I am really Zhou Qingang, whether I am really a mole of the Five Elders Organization, doesnât matter. Whatâs important is whether I can provide him with the secrets of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.â
Li Fanâs thoughts were clear in his heart.
âNo spy wants to maintain their identity for a lifetime. Achieving great merit and retiring successfully to enjoy peace, these desirable days, is what they dream of.â
âAnd I can help him achieve this.â
