Blocking the Ten Thousand Immortals Island
Lu Xichan looked at the Yanwu Hall on Wanxian Island, which had already turned into nothingness, and frowned slightly.
Thin green lines emerged, coiling around her fingertips.
She stared at the familiar yet strange green glow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Even in this remote place of Congyun Sea, not many Cultivators knew Lu Xichan's identity.
But under her pressure, even without her speaking, Wanxian Island was utterly silent, not a sound to be heard.
The Cultivators dared not look directly at her, merely lowering their gazes like Li Fan.
At the same time, they speculated about the identity of this female Cultivator.
Finally, two figures flew out from the Central Bu Zheng Hall on the island, coming forward to meet her.
One male and one female, they were precisely Ziyun and Hongxi, the only Soul Transformation Immortal Lords in Congyun Sea.
"Greetings, Chief Lu!"
They bowed in unison, their expressions slightly tense.
Someone who could be treated with such solemnity by the top two figures of Congyun Sea was absolutely an extraordinary person!
The Cultivators, currently bowing their heads, were filled with both shock and curiosity.
They secretly wondered why such an existence as Chief Lu would come to a borderland like Congyun Sea.
Was it just for this inexplicable green light?
"No need for formalities, getting to business is more important."
Lu Xichan glanced at the Cultivators on Wanxian Island below and said coldly, "Effective immediately, seal off Wanxian Island. No one is allowed to leave without my command."
As she spoke, she pointed a finger towards the sky.
Transparent patterns spread from the center, quickly enveloping the entire island.
"I have already applied to sever the connection between the tianxuan mirror here and the outside world. Ordinary communication methods have also been blocked by me."
"Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are responsible for maintaining order on the island."
Hongxi understood the seriousness of the situation upon hearing this.
He immediately nodded in agreement.
And upon hearing Lu Xichan's words, all the Cultivators on the island exchanged glances.
It seemed a major incident had truly occurred!
The entire island was sealed, allowing entry but no exit.
Such a grand display was probably the first time since Wanxian Island was established!
Li Fan, hiding in the crowd, also felt a little uneasy.
The development of events in this life had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Originally, he only wanted to pretend to be a charlatan and fool the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's investigation.
He didn't expect that Gongsun Qixuan was truly not without reason for his reputation; he actually deduced something based on 'Tianxuan Locking Spirit, Xuanhuang Unified'.
And he even triggered green energy similar to the Xuan Net.
What he didn't expect even more was that the anomaly from tens of thousands of miles away instantly attracted Lu Xichan's attention.
She directly crossed states to come and seal off Wanxian Island.
"I can only take it one step at a time. If I can safely pass this hurdle, the situation can return to being under control." Li Fan narrowed his eyes, adjusting his original plan.
After Lu Xichan took over Wanxian Island, Black-Clothed Cultivators arrived at Wanxian Island one after another through teleportation arrays.
They exuded an unshakeable Killing Intent, stationed in various parts of the island, patrolling and monitoring.
The Cultivators were also divided into groups, undergoing interrogation in sequence.
The first to be interrogated were naturally the survivors of the Yanwu Hall's anomaly.
And Li Fan, as the instigator of this incident, was also the first target for interrogation.
Fortunately, he didn't have to face Lu Xichan herself.
However, he seemed to vaguely sense a gaze, sometimes present, sometimes not, falling upon him, so Li Fan did not let down his guard.
His face was pale, pretending he hadn't recovered from his recent injuries.
Li Fan truthfully recounted what happened in the Yanwu Hall earlier.
"After deducing that sentence, I suffered a backlash from the heavenly secret."
"As for what Gongsun Elder saw, and why he could trigger that terrifying green light, I am not clear."
Li Fan coughed, looking innocent, shifting all the blame to Gongsun Qixuan.
The three Cultivators responsible for the interrogation asked a few more details before taking Li Fan to a small dark room deep within the Bu Zheng Hall and locking him up.
Li Fan was cooperative from beginning to end.
Inside the small dark room, isolated from the outside, he could not know what was happening on Wanxian Island.
Li Fan simply closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
At the same time, on Taian Island.
The Clone "Zhou Qingang" quietly left the island-protecting array and went to the agreed meeting place with the Broken Stone face.
"Boss, something big has happened!"
Before the other side could question him, Li Fan took the initiative.
"Uh… why are you panicking, speak slowly!" The face reprimanded.
"It seems a major change has occurred on Wanxian Island; since just now, I've completely lost contact with the Cultivators on the island!" Li Fan's fearful tone carried a hint of excitement.
"Furthermore, before I came, I inquired around. Before the island was sealed, someone saw a rainbow light cross states from the center of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and descend upon Wanxian Island."
"This sealing must be related to that rainbow light!" Li Fan said repeatedly.
The face was also startled by this sudden news.
It was silent for a long time, seemingly verifying the accuracy of the message.
After a while, it said, somewhat shocked, "It's actually true!"
"What is the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance doing?!"
"Wait… this rainbow light…"
"Lu Xichan!"
The face's voice suddenly rose several octaves.
"Boss, who is Lu Xichan?" Li Fan immediately pretended to be very curious and asked.
"The Chief of the Fairy Alliance Strategy Array Hall, that's a truly extraordinary person. Why would she come to Congyun Sea?" The face's voice contained both doubt and excitement.
Like a hungry wolf encountering prey, it keenly sensed that there must be some astonishing secret hidden within this incident.
If it could be figured out…
"Boss, isn't this a great opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves!" Li Fan also pretended to have a sudden realization, cooperating with the question.
"Exactly! We must find out the reason for her coming to Congyun Sea!" The face said in a deep voice.
"But Wanxian Island now seems to only allow entry, not exit, and even communications are blocked. It's really a bit difficult to figure out the situation inside…" Li Fan frowned slightly, complaining.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he said with excitement, "Boss, I have an immature idea."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Remember He Zhenghao, who sold us the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance entrance exam questions last time? Maybe he has a way!"
"He Zhenghao…" The face pondered for a moment, nodding slightly.
"You can try his side first. I will also think of other ways."
"If there's a result, then contact me again."
"If he also has no solution, then you lay low again." The face said to Li Fan.
"Understood." As the light on the broken stone disappeared, Li Fan quickly left the place.
He went to Liuli Island and had a cup of tea with He Zhenghao.
Li Fan then quickly returned.
"Boss, there's a chance!"
"What?" The face didn't expect "Zhou Qingang" to be so efficient, nor did it expect He Zhenghao to actually have news from the sealed Wanxian Island.
"What did he say?" The face asked in a deep voice.
"A flat price, ten million contribution points!" Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then whispered.
