My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 555: 527: The Wonderful Use of Spies

Chapter 555: Chapter 527: The Wonderful Use of Spies

Even attaining the status of an Immortal Realm, even if they were fakes trapped in the corners of Xuanhuang World, was not something ordinary cultivators could perceive.

Just like the realistic illusion similar to a “love simulation” that Sister Zhao created during the guiding process.

What did it mean to her?

Li Fan believed that based on her strength, she could easily engulf and integrate other cultivators without resorting to the illusion.

But she chose differently.

She had to play this game with Li Fan that spanned hundreds of years.

Could she really be at her wits’ end?

Although this possibility could not be ruled out, Li Fan preferred to believe that there was some secret hidden within.

“The ants” who spied on the Immortal Sovereign, thinking they had concealed themselves perfectly to avoid exposure.

In reality, maybe everything could not escape their sight. As soon as their eyes fell on them, they had noticed.”

Just like Sister Zhao’s final reminder, or warning.

Similarly for Yin Shangren, who was trying to examine the secret of Immortal-Ordinary Miasma. Li Fan was sure of it.

With a quick thought, he activated Formless Killing Machine. Li Fan’s gaze fell on Yin Ying Island in an instant.

After careful observation for some time, Yin Shangren was performing tests on mortals as usual.

“Years have passed, and it seems the lethality of the Immortal-Ordinary Miasma hasn’t diminished a bit. It’s just that its ability to spread has weakened a lot compared to the initial version…” Watching the mortal test subjects screaming in pain, Li Fan recalled the scene he had seen in Sister Zhao’s illusion and compared them, silently contemplating.

Yin Shangren was fully committed, with a focused expression. The mortals’ fierce cries didn’t affect him at all. It was as if what was disappearing in front of him wasn’t life, but purely consumables.

After watching for a while, Li Fan also found it tedious.

“It looks like we’ll have to wait a while for him to really figure something out,” he thought, withdrawing his gaze.

His thoughts returned to the construction of Misthaven Immortal City.

Now, more than half of the promised six months had passed.

The basic structure of the Immortal City had been constructed. Now, it was time to build many key facilities, such as the “Statue of Celestial Dharma Bearer” and the “Long-Distance Teleportation Array”.

In this aspect, with the help of cultivators sent by the Immortal Alliance headquarters, there was no need to worry too much.

However, due to the extension of the construction period, there was inevitably a shortage of materials.

After all, the materials that Li Fan originally received were only enough to construct a floating city without a single hitch.

It was only through the coordination of He Zhenghao and Gao Yuan that they managed to avoid immediate exposure.

And that Zhou Kebao, who was sabotaging things in the dark, had surprisingly good patience.

For such a long time, he hadn’t actively contacted or tried to find his intentions.

“It seems I can’t pin all my hopes on him offering a solution. I need to figure out how to deal with this myself.”

“Common materials can be purchased from Jiao Xiuyuan’s channels using contribution points.”

“But those strategic materials aren’t something you can get by normal means. However…”

Li Fan smiled slightly, manipulating the now “Supreme Commander of the Reconstruction of Misthaven Immortal City”, Zhou Qingang.

The reconstruction work delegated duties to each cultivator. As supreme commander, he was actually not that busy.

When there were no one around, “Zhou Qingang” quietly left Misthaven City.

To prevent people from tracking him, he hid in the deep sea for three days and three nights.

It was only when he was completely sure that he was safe that he made contact with the Five Elders Organization.

The Radiant Broken Stone flickered, and after a moment, a fuzzy human figure appeared.

“Hmm? Why did you contact me suddenly? Did something happen?” Probably because of the repeated merits, the face’s attitude had improved a lot compared to before.

Even when “Zhou Qingang” broke the rules and initiated contact, he didn’t get angry.

Instead, he asked with great concern.

“Haha, Chief, don’t worry. It’s not troublesome, but rather a great opportunity!” Zhou Qingang said excitedly.

“Oh?” The human face has also become much calmer.

“Chief, you should also know that I took advantage of Daoist He’s influence to become the commander of the reconstruction of Misthaven City.” Zhou Qingang lowered his voice.

“And recently, we’ve encountered some problems…”

Then, Zhou Qingang briefly described how someone within the Immortal Alliance was trying to calculate Li Fan, deliberately withholding supplies and exerting pressure.

Upon hearing this, the human face repeatedly frowned.

“What can be tolerated and what can’t. What kind of person is Master Li, he wouldn’t stand for this.”

“He privately told us that he would rather defect to the Five Elders Organization than succumb to those people.”

Before Zhou Qingang could finish speaking, the face on the broken stone said joyfully and somewhat uncertainly, “Oh? Does this mean that Li Fan intends to defect?”

But soon, he became uncertain: “Could it be, is this another trap laid by him in cooperation with the Immortal Alliance to lure us into the trap?”

Zhou Qingang was immediately embarrassed: “Ahem, chief, it’s obviously just angry words.”

“Um…” The face suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Qingang quickly spoke again, explaining: “Although the chances of defection are slim, our opportunities are real.”

“He pledged a military order in front of the First Scroll that if the construction is not completed on time, he will lose his head. He’s almost going crazy recently for the materials he lacks.”

“You mean…” The face on the stone suddenly understood.

“Trade?”

Zhou Qingang nodded repeatedly, outstretched his palms, imprinted them on the Broken Stone, and transmitted a series of material names over.

“Right! Chief, take a look at these. Can we get our hands on them?” He asked.

There was silence for a while.

Not long after, the face spoke slowly: “It’s not a big problem.”

“That makes things easier! Didn’t the higher-ups always want us to find out about the secrets of the Immortal City’s Protective Array? With these materials as trading chips, not to mention the defensive array, we could get our hands on the construction blueprint of the entire Immortal City!” Zhou Qingang confidently said.

The face on the Broken Stone didn’t say anything, but obviously was tempted.

“The importance of the Array Diagram has been downgraded two levels. This time using it to trade is not a wise move…,” the face finally instructed.

“If possible, it would be best to inquire about what happened on the day of the “Abnormal Change of Ten Thousand Immortals Island” from Li Fan.”

“If he could record the situation at that time with a Shadow Stone, that would be even better.”

“Zhou Qingang”‘s expression shifted with curiosity: “Chief, was the act of uprooting the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island our doing?”

“It was too frightening! I just regret not being on the island at the time, otherwise I could have taken this opportunity to go home directly!”

“By the way, what were we looking for with such a grand spectacle?”

The face snorted coldly: “If it’s not your place to inquire, don’t ask too much.”

“Just do your own job.”
