第四百六十三章 五老会入局

"Ten million contribution points?! He's crazy?"

However, soon enough, his face regained its composure.

"Hmph. His appetite is getting bigger and bigger. But can he really be sure that the events on Ten Thousand Immortals Island are worth this many contribution points?"

Li Fan glanced at the other person's expression and cautiously added, "He has other conditions."

"Pay first, then deliver goods."

"And he said that whether we choose to trade is up to us. He won't force us. But he guarantees that the value of this information far exceeds what he's offering. It was only because of our long-standing relationship as customers and his willingness to take a risk with his life that he offered such a price."

Hearing such outrageous terms, the other man didn't seem as agitated as before.

After some careful consideration, he said, "This is significant. I'll go seek permission first. Don't move from this spot."

With those words, the light on the stone vanished instantly.

Li Fan waited patiently in place. After a while, the other man reappeared.

"Agree to his terms!" he decisively said.

"Head?!" Li Fan was somewhat shocked by the other man's resolve.

"Hei Zhenghao mentioned that this transaction is too risky for him to handle directly and needs an intermediary. If we agree to trade, send the spirit stones to this island. Just say you're from the [World Federation], no need to worry about anything else. Just give the spirit stones to him," Li Fan provided the coordinates of a certain island where Emperor Chenfeng and others were located.

"He will only pass on the message once he confirms receipt of the spirit stones." Li Fan hurriedly added.

"What is this World Federation?"

"Could it be..." The other man seemed to realize something, suddenly becoming silent.

"The latest spirit stones should arrive by tomorrow at the latest. Keep an eye on He Zhenghao and make sure he doesn't run away," the other man instructed.

"Yes, Head." Li Fan readily agreed.

"This is a big gamble. If we win... if we lose..." The other man muttered to himself.

Clearly, such a large transaction with such an unreliable method was something this man had never encountered before. He seemed somewhat anxious as well.

"Head, don't worry. Based on my interactions with He Zhenghao recently, I believe he is trustworthy," Li Fan said immediately.

"I hope so. Go then."

After the communication ended, Li Fan hurried back to Tai'an Island and used the formless killing mechanism to sense the situation at Emperor Chenfeng's location.

Two days later.

A black-clothed cultivator arrived above the island where the Empire was located as instructed, looking around.

A green-robed woman suddenly appeared before him. The two faced each other, their expressions serious.

The black-clothed cultivator identified himself according to the transaction protocol: "I am from the World Federation."

He then threw a storage ring over.

The green-robed woman took the storage ring and after checking it, her pupils widened in shock.

"You..."

Just as she was about to say something, she noticed that he waved his hand and left without another word.

Leaving behind a stunned green-robed woman standing there.

"Saint Master!"

Emperor Chenfeng sensed something amiss and hurriedly flew forward to investigate.

The green-robed woman handed him the storage ring. After checking it, Emperor Chenfeng also fell into a state of shock.

"Saint Master, what...?" Emperor Chenfeng felt utterly perplexed.

"It seems our preparations might not be enough," the green-robed woman said with a bitter smile.

...

"The Five Elders' intervention is indeed efficient; they never dilly-dally!" Li Fan couldn't help but praise silently as he sensed the transaction going smoothly.

He then set off for Lustrous Isle and after having tea with He Zhenghao, headed straight to their meeting point.

Activating his communication with the other man, Li Fan appeared somewhat bewildered and fearful.

"What message did He Zhenghao want to convey?" The other man didn't waste time on pleasantries; he got right to the point.

"He told me quietly," Li Fan whispered, "just one sentence."

"Hmm?"

Li Fan used his palms to break the stone and focused his intent to transmit the words.

"Skydark; deep; mysterious Locking..."

"Xuanhuang Returning..."

"Unification?"

The other man was in absolute silence. A moment later, some chaotic noises were heard from afar, indicating a significant commotion.

"The transaction is complete. Continue your concealment. If there are any special circumstances, I will contact you again," Li Fan said despite his efforts to keep calm. The stone shattered completely and the communication ended.

"Zhou Qingang" still wore a bewildered expression as he returned to Tai'an Island.

Only after reaching the secluded depths of the island's protective array did he return to normal.

"With the Five Elders' interference, even if the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance wants to establish the Skydark; deep; mysterious Locking Array in this world, they may not be able to manage it."

"We'll have to observe how things develop further."

Li Fan narrowed his eyes and focused on the main body of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

After some investigation, Li Fan was released from the small black room. His confession matched that of the surviving cultivators, showing no abnormalities.

The main focus of the Immortal Alliance was still on Gong Sun Qixuan, who had disappeared.

It was his derivation that triggered the mysterious and terrifying green light.

Although Li Fan had already derived some results, it became clear from the actual events that Gong Sun Qixuan's derivation abilities were far superior.

Figuring out what he saw back then has become the most important thing now.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Island remained under lockdown. However, after signing a confidentiality agreement, those who underwent interrogations could move freely around the island.

Although they couldn't mention the events of that day specifically, Li Fan's extraordinary derivation abilities displayed during the sudden price increase in Puqianzhenye and the unexpected changes at the Martial Arts Hall were evident to everyone.

Thus, many cultivators began to approach him for favors.

Unable to enter the Skydark; deep; mysterious Mirror, Li Fan sought refuge at the Thousand Mile Hall for peace and quiet. Since it was blocked by someone on that day, the hall had not been open since then, with its doors tightly shut.

Li Fan managed to return through a secret passage he used before.

Entering the shop, Li Fan found Jiao Xiuyuan inside but in a dazed state, his eyes lifeless.

No matter how much Li Fan called out, there was no response.

It was like when his puppet lost control due to the shattered Dao Stone from the previous life, even more so this time.

After observing for a while, Li Fan seemed thoughtful.

"Landstream Chan's seal must have severed the connection between the puppet and its main body."

"The Chief of Strategy Array Hall indeed has extraordinary means."

"But she didn't expect that there is such a divine art as The True Spirit Transformation of the Mysterious Profound."

Li Fan couldn't help feeling smug.

With nothing to do, he wandered around the deserted Thousand Mile Hall.
