Chapter 379: The Struggle of the Dharma Transmitters

Oriental Yao felt slightly nervous in his heart: "This person's name is Li Fan, he is…"

In a concise manner, he briefly introduced Li Fan's life to Lu Xichan.

Although Huangfu Song had not proactively mentioned information about this person, that day, after Oriental Yao noticed the strange look he gave Li Fan…

Knowing full well what kind of person his brother was, Oriental Yao had immediately conducted a secret investigation.

Whether it was the rumors of Li Fan's various actions that differed from ordinary people, or the astonishing speed at which his deeds spread…

They all led Oriental Yao to believe that this person was by no means simple.

Even Huangfu Song's inexplicable arrival this time was likely because of this Li Fan.

And now that Chief Lu suddenly asked, it indeed confirmed his suspicion.

However, regarding some things, even if one has guessed them, what can be said and what cannot be said…

Oriental Yao was naturally extremely clear about.

As a subordinate, one only needs to cooperate well with the leadership.

If one tries to be clever and ruins the plans of someone above, a hopeless future would be a small matter.

One might fear meeting an inexplicable and violent end.

Thinking of this, Oriental Yao did not dare to be negligent and related the superficial information he had gathered in detail.

Lu Xichan noticed that these two subordinates seemed to have some small schemes.

However, she had no intention of looking deeper into it.

Because there were not many things in this world worth her concern, and these two Soul Transformation Formation Masters were clearly not among them.

Rather, her daughter's savior made her feel somewhat surprised.

She had heard the name Li Fan before.

To be able to risk one's life to save others in times of crisis was indeed very rare in this day and age.

More importantly, the act of remaining at the front line of Formation construction even when his Lifespan was nearly exhausted was worth using as a model for promotion and writing about extensively.

Perhaps this person was truly a natural Saint with noble Morality; or perhaps the Cultivation Technique he practiced was special, and this move was simply profitable.

For the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, none of that was important.

What was important was that he actually did those things.

What was important was making the majority of the world's Cultivators believe so.

For the name of a Golden Core cultivator to reach her ears…

There was naturally the handiwork of certain acquaintances behind it.

Lu Xichan was not at all surprised by this.

If she guessed correctly, if Li Fan were to perish before the Formation was completely built, the Alliance would even step in to preserve his life.

Like buying a horse's bones for a thousand gold, they would carry out another round of promotion.

Making the best use of everything was the consistent way that group of people did things.

As the figures of several Dharma Transmitters flashed through her mind, a shadow suddenly surged in Lu Xichan's heart.

As the first group of people to follow the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission in actively transmitting the Dharma and creating the original Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance…

The Dharma Transmitters had held the highest ruling power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance since the Celestial Venerable disappeared.

Not to mention their cultivation, each of them was not inferior to her, Lu Xichan.

The mere ability to have survived until now through countless disasters over thousands of years made it so that no one dared to underestimate them.

Not to mention, they also vaguely possessed the methods to restrain the tianxuan mirror…

"Tianxuan Locking Spirit is only the first step."

Lu Xichan snorted coldly in her heart and suppressed her thoughts.

Her gaze turned back to the aged Cultivator below.

"Thinking everything is under control, I wonder how they would react if I were to intervene midway."

Before this, although he was her daughter's savior…

Lu Xichan had not entertained the idea of specifically repaying the favor.

After all, after he saved her daughter back then, he had left in a hurry without making any requests.

In Lu Xichan's eyes, that meant Li Fan himself had given up the opportunity.

But now, this person had appeared before her eyes again as a pawn of that group.

This made Lu Xichan unable to help but change her mind.

After thinking for a moment, she checked Li Fan's ranking on the Great Competition's Golden List.

"Forty-fifth place."

"Perhaps I can lend him a helping hand…"

Thinking of this, she looked at Oriental Yao and Huangfu Song and asked, "What do you two think of this person?"

Huangfu Song and Oriental Yao glanced at each other, their hearts filled with murmurs.

Since you've specifically asked like this, could we possibly say anything bad about him?

It's good to have backing.

With feelings of envy, the two of them spoke one after another, boasting about Li Fan.

They spoke as if he were unparalleled in heaven and on earth.

If Li Fan were here to hear these words of praise, he would probably be unable to stop his old face from turning red.

When they were almost finished, Lu Xichan also nodded: "He has made so many sacrifices for the popularization of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, yet the Alliance has never issued any corresponding rewards. It really is a bit inappropriate."

"If this continues, wouldn't it cause the world's Cultivators to lose heart?"

Both Huangfu and Oriental were shrewd people.

Hearing Chief Lu's words with their hidden meaning, they were startled but did not dare to respond.

They only heard her continue: "It would be one thing if I didn't know. Now that I've seen it personally, I certainly cannot ignore it."

"However, it is after all a matter of overstepping my bounds. It would be bad if it caused misunderstandings and gossip from certain people."

"At this critical juncture, our Immortal Alliance should be united as one from top to bottom."

"Do you two have any good ideas?"

The two of them suddenly thought of certain rumors they had occasionally heard in their daily lives. After a brief thought, they understood the meaning behind Chief Lu's words.

However, how could small pawns like them get involved in this kind of high-level struggle?

They both felt bitter in their hearts.

Feeling Lu Xichan's gaze constantly scanning back and forth over them, both felt an indescribable pressure.

When a leader asks a question, how can one remain silent and not answer?

Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. At the critical moment, Huangfu Song suddenly thought of the conversation he had with Li Fan before.

With a flash of inspiration, he gritted his teeth and said, "To let the Chief know, your subordinate previously had several heart-to-heart talks with this Li Fan. Although this person's Lifespan is nearly exhausted, he is still willing to dedicate himself until the last moment of his life."

"Our Immortal Alliance never mistreats those with merit. However, even though this person works so hard, he is still only around fortieth or fiftieth place. If we give him special treatment, the Cultivators ranked ahead of him might have complaints."

"It would be more logical if his ranking were slightly higher."

Huangfu Song paused and then continued: "He once told me privately that he would die without regrets. It's just a pity that he cannot visit the many wonderful Secret Realms of our Immortal Alliance…"

He suddenly threw out such a sentence without rhyme or reason.

However, Lu Xichan and Oriental Yao, who were familiar with the Great Competition's point rules, naturally understood the hidden meaning in these words.

"That is indeed a good method." Lu Xichan nodded slightly, accepting Huangfu Song's suggestion.

Huangfu Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he could relax, he heard Chief Lu ask again.

"Do you have any recommended places?"

Huangfu Song's heart hung in his throat once more.

Recalling Li Fan's words from back then in an instant, Huangfu Song had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Your subordinate believes that Secret Realms such as the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven and the Boundless Sea would be good choices."
