zhè kuài shí tou ， gēn cǐ qián jiàn dào de zhōu qīng áng yòng lái gēn shàng jí lián xì de gōng jù pǒ wèi xiāng sì 。
这块石头，跟此前见到的周青昂用来跟上级联系的工具颇为相似。
This stone is quite similar to the tool Zhou Qingang used to contact his superiors.
lǐ fán chén yín piàn kè ， shuāng shǒu fù gài qí shàng 。
李凡沉吟片刻，双手覆盖其上。
Li Fan pondered for a moment, then covered it with both hands. He activated it using the secret technique he had memorized from the Five Elders Association.
yǐ jì yì zhōng de wǔ lǎo huì mì fǎ cuī dòng 。
以记忆中的五老会秘法催动。
Sure enough, it worked. As ripples appeared on the surface of the stone, a blurred face materialized before him.
guǒ rán yǒu xiào ， suí zhe shí tou biǎo miàn fàn qǐ céng céng lián yī ， yī zhāng mó hú de rén liǎn chū xiàn zài qí shàng 。
果然有效，随着石头表面泛起层层涟漪，一张模糊的人脸出现在其上。
After getting a clear view of the situation here, the other side was taken aback for a moment. Then the scene changed, as if a new contact had been assigned.
kàn qīng chǔ zhè biān de zhuàng kuàng hòu ， duì miàn xiān shì lèng le lèng 。
看清楚这边的状况后，对面先是愣了愣。
The person glanced at Li Fan and then coldly said, "You know about the recently modified guiding technique..."
ér hòu huà miàn yī zhuǎn 、 sì hū biàn huàn le jiē yīng rén 。
而后画面一转、似乎变换了接应人。
"You people of the Interdimensional Alliance have indeed planted a mole among us."
duì fāng piē shì le yǎn lǐ fán ， guò le huì ， lěng hēng dào ：“ gāng gǎi bù jiǔ de jiē yǐn mì fǎ nǐ dōu zhī dào ……”
对方瞥视了眼李凡，过了会，冷哼道：“刚改不久的接引秘法你都知道……”
Li Fan smiled and replied, "That's not true. I just tried it by chance; it was merely coincidental."
“ nǐ men wàn jiè lián hé huì guǒ rán yě zài wǒ men dāng zhōng mái le dīng zi 。”
“你们万界联合会果然也在我们当中埋了钉子。”
A loud bang came from the other side, indicating their strong dissatisfaction with Li Fan.
lǐ fán xiào le xiào ， dào ：“ méi yǒu de shì 。 bù guò shì suí biàn shì le shì ， qiǎo hé bà le 。”
李凡笑了笑，道：“没有的事。不过是随便试了试，巧合罢了。”
Without ending the communication, they asked, "What is this about? What do you need?"
duì miàn fā chū pēng de yī shēng jù xiǎng ， xiǎn rán duì lǐ fán de tài dù shí fēn bù mǎn 。
对面发出砰的一声巨响，显然对李凡的态度十分不满。
"Last time, we were completely fooled. You talked about a world-sealing supreme artifact and the裂天炮."
méi yǒu què méi yǒu jié shù tōng xùn ， ér shì wèn dào ：“ zhè cì zhǎo wǒ men ， yòu yǒu shén me shì ？”
没有却没有结束通讯，而是问道：“这次找我们，又有什么事？”
"We had prepared a full应对 strategy, thinking to outmaneuver them. But..."
“ shàng cì kě bèi nǐ men kēng cǎn le 。 shuō shén me zhèn shì jué qì ， liè tiān pào 。”
“上次可被你们坑惨了。说什么镇世绝器，裂天炮。”
"Hmph, due to incorrect intelligence leading to strategic misjudgment. We suffered heavy losses."
“ wǒ men zhǔn bèi le zhěng tào de yìng duì fāng àn ， yuán běn xiǎng zhe chū qí bīng zhì shèng 。 què méi xiǎng dào ……”
“我们准备了整套的应对方案，原本想着出奇兵制胜。却没想到……”
The face on the stone suddenly expanded, matching his tone with an eerie feeling.
“ hēng ， yīn wèi qíng bào yǒu wù dǎo zhì de zhàn lüè fāng xiàng wù pàn 。 wǒ men kě shì sǔn shī cǎn zhòng a 。”
“哼，因为情报有误导致的战略方向误判。我们可是损失惨重啊。”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes but didn't reply immediately. After some thought, he sighed and said, "It wasn't intentional; we were fooled by the Interdimensional Alliance's elaborate act this time."
shí kuài jìng miàn shàng de rén liǎn hū de péng zhàng le yī quān ， pèi hé tā de yǔ qì ， xiǎn de yǒu xiē yīn sēn 。
石块镜面上的人脸忽的膨胀了一圈，配合他的语气，显得有些阴森。
"Who would have thought that such a powerful world-sealing supreme artifact was just a deception?"
lǐ fán mī zhuó yǎn ， méi yǒu mǎ shàng huí dá 。
李凡眯着眼，没有马上回答。
"But you can't be much better off either," Li Fan suddenly changed his tone. "How could the Five Elders Association, a grand organization, base their major strategy on our words alone?"
sī suǒ le piàn kè ， yáo tóu tàn qì dào ：“ fēi shì wǒ gù yì tí gōng jiǎ qíng bào 。 shí zài shì wàn xiān méng zhè cì zuò xì zuò de tài zhēn ， lián wǒ men dōu bèi piàn guò le 。”
思索了片刻，摇头叹气道：“非是我故意提供假情报。实在是万仙盟这次做戏做的太真，连我们都被骗过了。”
"They must have gathered some intelligence before making this decision."
“ shuí néng xiǎng dào ， wēi lì nà bān qiáng dà de zhèn shì jué qì ， jū rán zhǐ shì zhàng yǎn fǎ ne ？”
“谁能想到，威力那般强大的镇世绝器，居然只是障眼法呢？”
"Since even you are like this, how can we avoid it? We can only say that the Interdimensional Alliance has played us well."
“ bù guò ， nǐ men yě hǎo bú dào nǎ qù ba ？”
“不过，你们也好不到哪去吧？”
The face of the Five Elders Association turned grim.
lǐ fán hū de huà fēng yī zhuǎn ：“ táng táng wǔ lǎo huì ， zěn me kě néng zhǐ yīn wǒ men yī xí huà ， jiù què lì dà de zhàn lüè fāng xiàng ？”
李凡忽的话锋一转：“堂堂五老会，怎么可能只因我们一席话，就确立大的战略方向？”
"We thought those 33 chosen ones were just a show. The real attack must be hidden somewhere else. Who would have thought that the Interdimensional Alliance is so arrogant, showing their hand openly..."
“ kěn dìng yě shì chá tàn dào le shén me ， zuì zhōng cái néng dìng xià de 。”
“肯定也是查探到了什么，最终才能定下的。”
"Showing their cards on the table..."
“ lián nǐ men dōu shì rú cǐ ， wǒ men yòu rú hé néng bì miǎn ？ zhǐ néng shuō wàn xiān méng zhè yī shǒu ， dí què wán de piào liàng 。”
“连你们都是如此，我们又如何能避免？只能说万仙盟这一手，的确玩的漂亮。”
His tone was full of frustration and disappointment as if he had thrown a punch into empty air.
wǔ lǎo huì rén liǎn miàn sè bù shàn 。
五老会人脸面色不善。
Li Fan took advantage of this moment to ask, "What really happened in the Nine Mountains State battlefield?"
“ yuán běn yǐ wéi ， nà dà zhāng qí gǔ de sān shí sān xiān xuǎn zhě ， zhǐ shì míng miàn shàng dǎ dī huǎng zi 。 zhēn zhèng de shā zhāo ， kěn dìng lìng cáng àn chù 。 shuí néng xiǎng dào ， wàn xiān méng jū rán rú cǐ zì dà 、 háo wú yǐn cáng 。”
“原本以为，那大张旗鼓的三十三仙选者，只是明面上打的幌子。真正的杀招，肯定另藏暗处。谁能想到，万仙盟居然如此自大、毫无隐藏。”
"You lost too quickly. We only dared to believe it when we personally confirmed it."
“ jiāng dǐ pái zhí jiē fàng zài míng miàn shàng ……”
“将底牌直接放在明面上……”
The face of the Five Elders Association remained solemn without answering.
rén liǎn yǔ qì zhōng ， mǎn shì mǎo zú le jìn 、 què yī quán dǎ kōng de biē qū 。
人脸语气中，满是铆足了劲、却一拳打空的憋屈。
Seeing this, Li Fan directly launched his counterattack: "The Interdimensional Alliance's martial arts hall headquarters and Purple Void Sage are actually your people, right?"
lǐ fán zé shì chèn jī wèn dào ：“ jiǔ shān zhōu zhàn chǎng shàng ， jiū jìng fā shēng le shén me ？”
李凡则是趁机问道：“九山州战场上，究竟发生了什么？”
The face was stunned; he didn't have the qualifications to know about this at his level.
“ nǐ men yě bài de tài kuài le 。 děng wǒ men shōu dào xiāo xī ， hái shì qīn zì lái xiàn chǎng què rèn ， cái gǎn xiāng xìn shì zhēn de 。”
“你们也败的太快了。等我们收到消息，还是亲自来现场确认，才敢相信是真的。”
"Go confirm with your superiors. This person..."
wǔ lǎo huì rén liǎn miàn sè yīn chén ， bì kǒu bù dá 。
五老会人脸面色阴沉，闭口不答。
"Has issues. We can't fully trust him," Li Fan said gravely.
lǐ fán jiàn zhuàng ， yú shì zhí jiē jì chū shā zhāo 。
李凡见状，于是直接祭出杀招。
The face lost its composure and hurriedly retreated, disappearing.
“ wàn xiān méng yǎn wǔ táng zǒng bù ， zǐ qióng xiān zūn ， qí shí shì nǐ men de rén ba ？”
“万仙盟演武堂总部，紫穹仙尊，其实是你们的人吧？”
Li Fan remained calm as he waited.
rén liǎn zhí jiē lèng zhù 。
人脸直接愣住。
Lin Ling secretly observed Li Fan, her curiosity evident in her eyes.
xiǎn rán yǐ tā de céng jí ， hái bù gòu zī gé zhī dào cǐ shì 。
显然以他的层级，还不够资格知道此事。
The Five Elders Association's response was swift.
“ qù gēn shàng jí què rèn xià ba 。 zhè ge rén ……”
“去跟上级确认下吧。这个人……”
Soon, a figure reappeared on the smooth stone surface.
“ yǒu wèn tí 。 bù néng wán quán xìn rèn 。” lǐ fán miàn sè níng zhòng dào 。
“有问题。不能完全信任。”李凡面色凝重道。
"Friend, what you said earlier..."
rén liǎn zài méi yǒu zhī qián de zhèn dìng ， huāng máng tuì xià ， xiāo shī bú jiàn 。
人脸再没有之前的镇定，慌忙退下，消失不见。
"About Purple Void Sage not being fully trustworthy, what does that mean?"
lǐ fán zé shì shén sè zì ruò de děng dài qǐ lái 。
李凡则是神色自若的等待起来。
The speaker was no longer the previous person; it was an older man with a robust voice.
yī páng de lín líng zé shì qiāo qiāo dǎ liàng zhe lǐ fán ， yǎn zhōng de hào qí àn nà bù zhù 。
一旁的林灵则是悄悄打量着李凡，眼中的好奇按捺不住。
"If our intelligence is correct, Purple Void Sage is a [Possessed Cultivator]. His true loyalty lies only with Transcendent Law Propagator," Li Fan whispered.
wǔ lǎo huì de fǎn yìng hěn shì xùn sù 。
五老会的反应很是迅速。
"Sometimes his intel is right. But in certain situations..."
bù duō shí ， yí gè rén yǐng zài dù yú guāng huá shí miàn shàng fú xiàn 。
不多时，一个人影再度于光滑石面上浮现。
"There might be truth and falsehood intertwined, hard to discern." Li Fan said meaningfully.
“ zhè wèi péng yǒu ， nǐ cǐ qián shuō de ……”
“这位朋友，你此前说的……”
Though the statement was vague, it caused a long silence from the Five Elders Association side.
“ zǐ qióng xiān zūn ， bù néng wán quán xìn rèn ， shì shén me yì si ？”
“紫穹仙尊，不能完全信任，是什么意思？”
"Then I see..." The low murmur of the man from the Five Elders Association revealed his inner shock.
shuō huà de bù zài shì gāng gāng nà rén ， tīng shàng qù shì yī wèi jiào wéi nián zhǎng 、 zhōng qì shí zú de nán zi 。
说话的不再是刚刚那人，听上去是一位较为年长、中气十足的男子。
After all, Purple Void Sage was their deepest and most crucial spy. Many critical pieces of intelligence were provided by him.
“ rú guǒ wǒ men de qíng bào méi cuò ， zǐ qióng xiān zūn ， jiù shì yī wèi 【 mó zhēng xiū 】。 tā zhēn zhèng zhōng chéng de ， bú shì nǐ men wǔ lǎo huì 、 yě bú shì wàn xiān méng 。”
“如果我们的情报没错，紫穹仙尊，就是一位【魔怔修】。他真正忠诚的，不是你们五老会、也不是万仙盟。”
This matter was top secret; only a few people in the Five Elders Association knew about it.
“ ér zhǐ shì chuán fǎ tiān zūn yī rén ér yǐ 。” lǐ fán qiǎo shēng shuō dào 。
“而只是传法天尊一人而已。”李凡悄声说道。
However, this interdimensional alliance cultivator had already uncovered Purple Void's true identity.
“ yǒu shí hòu ， tā de qíng bào shì duì de 。 dàn zài mǒu xiē qíng kuàng xià ……”
“有时候，他的情报是对的。但在某些情况下……”
Adding to that, they suffered a major defeat due to incorrect intelligence...
“ kǒng pà zhēn zhōng yǒu jiǎ 、 zhēn jiǎ nán biàn a 。” lǐ fán yì wèi shēn cháng dào 。
“恐怕真中有假、真假难辨啊。”李凡意味深长道。
The implications of this revelation left the middle-aged man feeling like he had fallen into an icy pit.
suī rán yī xí huà shuō de mó hú bù qīng ， dàn wǔ lǎo huì nà biān ， què shì xiàn rù le cháng jiǔ de chén mò zhī zhōng 。
虽然一席话说的模糊不清，但五老会那边，却是陷入了长久的沉默之中。
But his mental fortitude kicked in quickly. He took a deep breath and thanked Li Fan: "We will thoroughly investigate this matter. Thank you for your reminder."
“ yuán lái rú cǐ ……” cóng wǔ lǎo huì nán zi de dī nán shēng zhōng ， bù nán tīng chū cǐ shí tā de nèi xīn shì hé děng de zhèn dòng 。
“原来如此……”从五老会男子的低喃声中，不难听出此时他的内心是何等的震动。
Li Fan got straight to the point, "We need to know what really happened in the Nine Mountains State at that time. Our attention was not focused there due to misjudgment."
bì jìng zhè wèi zǐ qióng xiān zūn ， kě shì wǔ lǎo huì yǐn cáng zuì shēn 、 yě shì zuì zhòng yào de yī míng jiàn dié 。
毕竟这位紫穹仙尊，可是五老会隐藏最深、也是最重要的一名间谍。
"Although we gathered some information from within the Interdimensional Alliance, it's too shocking; we need confirmation from you."
xǔ duō zhòng yào qíng bào ， dōu shì yóu tā tí gōng de 。
许多重要情报，都是由他提供的。
"In fact, He should have been able to appear regularly soon... I'll send you the scene from then, and you can check it out yourself," the middle-aged man seemed eager for Li Fan to verify his intel. After transmitting a piece of information, he left.
cǐ shì shì jué duì de jī mì 。 yuán běn zài wǔ lǎo huì dāng zhōng ， yě bù guò zhǐ yǒu liáo liáo jǐ rén zhī xiǎo 。
此事是绝对的机密。原本在五老会当中，也不过只有寥寥几人知晓。
The smooth stone shattered on its own, unable to be used again.
rán ér ， yǎn qián zhè wèi wàn jiè lián hé huì de xiū shì ， què yǐ jīng zhī dào le zǐ qióng de zhēn zhèng shēn fèn 。
然而，眼前这位万界联合会的修士，却已经知道了紫穹的真正身份。
Li Fan watched the scene that appeared in his mind, his heart pounding with shock.
zài jiā shàng cǐ qián yīn wèi qíng bào miù wù ér dǎo zhì de dà bài ……
再加上此前因为情报谬误而导致的大败……
A clear blue sky over the Nine Mountains State, calm and serene.
zhè qí zhōng de yì wèi ， jiǎn zhí ràng zhōng nián nán zi rú zhuì shēn hán 。
这其中的意味，简直让中年男子如坠深寒。
Suddenly, a face materialized.
dàn tā bì jìng xīn lǐ sù zhì fēi fán ， hěn kuài fǎn yìng guò lái 。
但他毕竟心理素质非凡，很快反应过来。
Wearing a high crown and long beard, his expression solemn, eyes lowered.
shēn xī yì kǒu qì ， duì lǐ fán zhì xiè dào ：“ cǐ shì wǒ men huì hǎo hǎo diào chá de 。 duō xiè péng yǒu tí xǐng 。”
深吸一口气，对李凡致谢道：“此事我们会好好调查的。多谢朋友提醒。”
With a look of compassion for all living beings and an aura of boundless煞气.
lǐ fán zé shì zhí jiē kāi mén jiàn shān dào ：“ wǒ men xū yào zhī dào ， jiǔ shān zhōu dāng shí dào dǐ fā shēng le shén me 。 tóng yàng yīn wèi wù pàn ， wǒ men de zhù yì lì dāng shí bìng bù zài jiǔ shān zhōu zhàn chǎng shàng 。”
李凡则是直接开门见山道：“我们需要知道，九山州当时到底发生了什么。同样因为误判，我们的注意力当时并不在九山州战场上。”
Any Interdimensional Alliance cultivator would not find this face unfamiliar. Statues of him could be found in every state capital and throughout the alliance's territories.
“ suī rán cóng wàn xiān méng nèi bù ， dǎ tàn dào le xiē xiāo xī 。 bù guò tài guò lìng rén zhèn jīng ， xū yào gēn nǐ men què rèn xià 。”
“虽然从万仙盟内部，打探到了些消息。不过太过令人震惊，需要跟你们确认下。”
He was the founder of the Interdimensional Alliance, the lawbreaker who created new methods, and the one who dominated the heavens and earth for thousands of years—Transcendent Law Propagator!
“ qí shí ， yīng gāi zài guò yī duàn shí jiān ， tā jiù néng cháng tài huì chū xiàn le …… wǒ jiāng dāng shí de huà miàn chuán gěi nǐ ， nǐ zì jǐ kàn ba 。” zhōng nián nán zi sì hū jí yú què rèn lǐ fán tí gōng xiāo xī de zhēn jiǎ ， chuán shū lái yī duàn xìn xī hòu ， jiù gào cí lí kāi 。
“其实，应该再过一段时间，祂就能常态会出现了……我将当时的画面传给你，你自己看吧。”中年男子似乎急于确认李凡提供消息的真假，传输来一段信息后，就告辞离开。
As Transcendent Law's face became more visible, a faintly discernible figure appeared in the sky.
guāng huá duàn shí zì xíng suì liè ， zài yě wú fǎ shǐ yòng 。
光滑断石自行碎裂，再也无法使用。
The Five Elders Association cultivators within Nine Mountains State also noticed the anomaly. They quickly gathered to prepare for battle.
ér lǐ fán zé shì guān kàn zhe nǎo hǎi zhōng chū xiàn de chǎng jǐng ， xīn shén jù zhèn 。
而李凡则是观看着脑海中出现的场景，心神剧震。
But Transcendent Law did not give them much time; he acted immediately.
yún dàn fēng qīng 、 yī bì rú xǐ de jiǔ shān zhōu tiān qióng 。
云淡风轻、一碧如洗的九山州天穹。
With his eyes finally open after being closed and lowered, an unimaginable force descended upon the Nine Mountains State.
hū de fú xiàn chū yī zhāng miàn páng 。
忽的浮现出一张面庞。
Countless cultivators were crushed into pulp without even a chance to scream as blood spilled everywhere.
tóu dài gāo guān ， miàn liú zhǎng xū 。
头戴高冠，面留长须。
Under this immense pressure, nine mountain ranges emitted continuous rumbling sounds. The mountains crumbled layer by layer, collapsing from top to bottom.
shén sè sù mù ， yǎn jīng dī chuí 。
神色肃穆，眼睛低垂。
Transcendent Law did not move his gaze; the terrifying pressure continued unabated. Inch by inch, the nine mountain ranges were flattened.
shì yǒu bēi mǐn cāng shēng zhī yì ， yì yǒu wú qióng shā qì àn cáng 。
似有悲悯苍生之意，亦有无穷煞气暗藏。
