Chapter 491: Chapter 463: Five Elders Organization Enters the Game

“Ten million contribution points?! Has he gone mad?” The figure exclaimed.

However, the figure quickly regained his composure.

“Hmph, his greed is getting out of hand. But, is he sure the news from Ten Thousand Immortals Island is worth that much?”

Seeing the figure’s face, Li Fan carefully added, “He has other conditions.”

“Payment first, goods later.”

“And he also said that he doesn’t insist on the transaction. It’s completely up to us. But he assured that the value of this news far exceeds the price. He made this offer with significant risk to his life, and considering our old customer status,” Li Fan tentatively explained.

Having heard such preposterous terms, the figure surprisingly didn’t react as strongly as before.

After careful consideration, he said, “This is a big deal; I need to consult others first. You stay here, don’t move.”

Having said that, the light on the fragment disappeared instantly.

Li Fan patiently awaited for the figure’s return. After a fair while, the figure reappeared.

“Agree to his terms!” He commanded decisively.

“Boss?!” Now, it was Li Fan’s turn to be surprised by the audacity of his boss.

“He Zhenghao said beforehand, that due to the substantial risk involved in this transaction, it’d be inconvenient for him to handle it directly, needing a relay. If we agree to the transaction, we need to deliver the Spirit Stones to this island. We just need to claim ourselves to be from [All Realms Federation] and not worry about anything else. Just hand over the Spirit Stones to the recipients.” Li Fan provided the coordinates, referring to the island where Li Chenfeng and the others from [Empire] were located.

“Once he confirms the receipt of the Spirit Stones, he will deliver the message.” Li Fan hurriedly added.

“All Realms Federation, what is that?”

“Could it be…” The figure seemed to realize something and fell silent.

“By latest the day after tomorrow, the Spirit Stones will be delivered. Keep an eye on He Zhenghao, don’t let him escape.” The figure ordered.

“Yes, boss,” Li Fan dutifully agreed.

“This is quite the gamble. If we win, we’ll have made a remarkable contribution. But if we lose…” The figure said to himself in a low voice.

It was evidently his first time dealing with such a substantial and dubious trade, which naturally made him a bit anxious.

“Boss, rest assured. Based on my recent interactions with He Zhenghao, I believe he is trustworthy.” Li Fan comforted.

“I hope so. You may proceed now.”

After ending the communication, Li Fan hastily returned to Taian Island.

In the meantime, he used the Formless Killing Machine to keep abreast of the situation with Li Chenfeng and the others.

Two days later.

A black-clothed cultivator arrived above the island as instructed, looking everywhere attentively.

A woman in a green dress suddenly appeared before him.

The two confronted each other, their faces filled with tension.

Finally, in accordance with the transaction process, the black-clothed cultivator identified himself, “I am a cultivator from All Realms Federation.”

Having said that, he threw a Storage Ring towards her.

The woman in the green dress took the Storage Ring, upon checking its contents her pupils contracted abruptly.

“You…”

Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that the man simply waved his hand and left straight away.

Leaving behind a stunned woman in the green dress, standing still.

“Saintess!”

Realizing something was off, Li Chenfeng immediately rushed over and checked the Storage Ring.

Upon inspecting the contents, Li Chenfeng was rendered speechless.

“Saintess, what exactly…” Puzzled, Li Chenfeng blurted.

“It seems that our preparations may not be sufficient.” The woman in the green dress ruefully said.

…

“The Five Elders Organization sure knows its stuff, always prompt with their work!” Upon sensing the smooth progress of the transaction, Li Fan commended.

Thereafter, he headed straight to Liuli Island, had a cup of tea with He Zhenghao, then directly proceeded to the rendezvous point.

Activating the communication with the figure, Li Fan seemed somewhat dazed and frightened.

“Where’s the message that He Zhenghao wanted to convey?” The figure got straight to the point, inquiring without greeting.

“He told me secretly,” Li Fan said in a hushed voice, “It’s just a single phrase.”

“Hmm?”

Li Fan put his hands on the fragment, focusing his intentions, transmitting the phrase.

“Tianxuan Soul Locking…”

“Xuan Huang returns…”

“Unification?”

On the other end, the figure fell into an absolute silence.

A moment later, chaotic noises could be faintly heard from his end, causing a considerable stir.

“Execution complete; you continue your hibernation. If there’s an exceptional situation, I’ll contact you again.” Even though he tried very hard to control his emotions, Li Fan could still sense a hint of terror in the figure’s voice.

The fragment crumbled into dust, communication disconnected.

Still looking dazed, “Zhou Qingang” returned to Taian Island.

It wasn’t until he reached the deserted depths of the Island Protection Array that he regained composure.

“With the resistance from the Five Elders Organization, even if the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals wants to establish the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, I fear they won’t be able to.”

“As for how things will develop, we’ll have to wait and see.”

With narrowed eyes, Li Fan focused his attention on his main body on Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

After some investigation, Li Fan was released from the small black room.

His testimony matched those of the surviving cultivators, revealing nothing unusual.

The main focus of the Immortal Alliance was on Gongsun Qixuan, who had disappeared without a trace.

It was because of his calculation that the terrifying green light was induced.

Though Li Fan had made some progress in his calculations, based on the reality, it was apparent that Gongsun Qixuan’s calculating abilities were superior.

Finding out what he had seen then became the most critical thing.

Ten Thousand Immortals Island remained in lockdown.

However, the cultivators who had undergone questioning could move freely within the island after signing a confidentiality agreement.

They weren’t able to discuss the details of the incident, but Li Fan’s extraordinary calculation abilities during the Universal Leisure True Leaf price boom event and the Martial Arts Battle Hall abnormalities were evident to all.

Thus, Li Fan began attracting many cultivators seeking alliance.

Unable to enter the Mysterious Mirror and desiring peace, Li Fan retreated to the Thousand Miles Hall.

Ever since the day it was besieged, the Thousand Miles Hall had not been open for business and kept its doors closed.

Li Fan was only able to return via the secret passage from before.

Once inside, he found Jiao Xiuyuan there, though the latter looked dazed and spiritless.

No matter how Li Fan called him, he made no response. His state was similar to when the Huadao Stone shattered and the puppet lost control, only seemingly more severe this time.

Li Fan observed for a while and seemed to have realized something.

“It must be the blockage imposed by Lu Qixian that made the puppet lose contact with the main body.”

“The chief of the Array Strategy Hall indeed has some unconventional methods.”

“But she probably didn’t anticipate the existence of the ‘Extraordinary True Spirit Transformation Technique,’ he thought, feeling a bit smug.

Having nothing else to do, Li Fan began strolling leisurely around the deserted Thousand Miles Hall.
