Eight hundred years of poisonous nails

After Xu Bai spoke these words, the violent aura brewing around Wang Qiupo suddenly subsided.

He merely stared at the overly handsome Cultivator before him, pondering the three words “Overturning Sky Society.”

Of course, Wang Qiupo knew this name.

Previously, he had received a secret order from the Five Old Men Association, instructing him to secretly investigate information about this organization. He expended many resources but ultimately found nothing. Not even this name had been heard of by anyone.

This even made Wang Qiupo suspect at one point that the organization had made a mistake with the target's name when transmitting the information.

The matter was later dropped.

Until today, this young Cultivator, claiming to be a member of the Overturning Sky Society, suddenly appeared before him.

“Not only does he know my spy identity, but he also knows my physical condition like the back of his hand…”

“It seems there must be a traitor in the organization.”

As one of the most outstanding spies still active in the Five Old Men Association, Wang Qiupo thought so immediately.

After all, the news of his Lifespan nearing its end had only been transmitted recently. He wanted the organization to cooperate with his death to create some opportunities.

Wang Qiupo had been in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for nearly eight hundred years, with his first half of life being unremarkable.

It was only in the latter four hundred years, after the Cultivators he had befriended in his youth began to rise, that he entered the most glorious period of his spy career.

In these years, he recommended over ten thousand young Cultivators to join the Alliance!

This was partly due to his old friends agreeing to help out of past sentiment.

But more so…

It was because these individuals were indeed rare young Prodigies!

And this was precisely why he was considered to have a very strange temperament in the eyes of outsiders.

If they were not Prodigies, he would never recommend them!

As a top-tier spy, Wang Qiupo knew that planting moles in the enemy's camp could yield temporary benefits. However, as long as one was a spy, there would eventually be a day of exposure. At that time, all the spy members he had painstakingly cultivated over the years would be caught in one sweep. To hold a high position in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, one needed time to accumulate experience. These young spies would certainly not wait until that day. Even if an occasional lucky one could rise quickly, whether they could steal important intelligence remained unknown. Therefore, this method had extremely limited harm to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

What Wang Qiupo wanted to do was to proactively expose his spy identity before his death. Only in this way could he deliver a heavy blow to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!

Imagine, when the news that Wang Qiupo was actually a Five Old Men Association spy spread, it would inevitably cause an uproar across the land.

And during these years, the Cultivators he had recommended would certainly be subjected to suspicion!

Even if investigations could clear their names.

But…

Would the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance dare to risk continuing to heavily rely on these people? Who could guarantee that these people hadn't passed the tests through some secret method?

Under such concerns, these Cultivators, who originally had boundless futures and could serve as core forces in various parts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, would ultimately, even if they could save their lives, certainly be exiled to some insignificant positions for cold treatment.

The wise would leave in dismay, and the vacant positions would naturally be filled by other mediocre individuals.

This was Wang Qiupo's “Poison Nail” plan, which he had plotted for eight hundred years.

Although it was just a small nail, it could cripple a vital part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

This was also the utmost Wang Qiupo, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, believed he could achieve.

Originally, the Poison Nail plan was flawless and was about to enter its final stage.

However, he never expected an unexpected variable to emerge at this moment.

“Young man, what exactly do you mean? You might as well speak frankly.” Wang Qiupo probed, his expression unchanged.

Xu Bai smiled and immediately went straight to the point: “You should be a spy planted by the Five Old Men Association, right?”

Wang Qiupo narrowed his eyes and admitted generously: “That's right!”

Such straightforwardness was somewhat beyond Xu Bai's expectation.

However, it didn't affect anything.

“Old sir, there's no need to be nervous. If you understand our Overturning Sky Society, then you should know that we are actually on the same side.”

“We wish you would make the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance more and more chaotic. Why would we expose you?” Xu Bai first said with a smile to appease him.

Just as Wang Qiupo was deep in thought, Xu Bai suddenly dropped his smile and said with a serious expression: “Actually, I'm here this time to make a deal with you.”

“And it involves a very important matter. I'm afraid ordinary spies might risk leaking information, so I came directly to you.”

Wang Qiupo saw that the other party was speaking earnestly, and his expression couldn't help but become somewhat solemn.

However, as an old fox who had lived for eight hundred years, he certainly wouldn't easily believe Xu Bai's words.

He just remained silent, waiting to see what Xu Bai was hinting at.

However, Xu Bai's next words directly shocked him so much that he nearly crushed the bamboo staff in his hand.

“Do you know that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is about to give birth to another Chang Sheng Tian Zun?” That's what Xu Bai said.

“What did you say?” No matter how deep his composure, upon suddenly hearing such shocking news, Wang Qiupo couldn't help but change color dramatically.

“It seems you don't know about this yet? That shouldn't be…” Xu Bai frowned.

Wang Qiupo took a deep breath, seemingly trying to discern the truth in Xu Bai's words.

However, Xu Bai didn't give him a chance to think, continuously throwing out bombshells.

“We have already found that the Dao reversed by this Celestial Venerable is very strange.”

“Previously, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance only had one Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, and your Five Old Men Association fought them to a standstill. Now the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has one more Celestial Venerable…”

“You should prepare early.”

“This Celestial Venerable has not yet officially [Defined Dao] and can participate in secular disputes. I'm just afraid you'll be caught off guard…”

Wang Qiupo's mind was instantly in a muddle.

Although he prided himself on being the Five Old Men Association's most successful spy, he knew very little when it came to the level of Chang Sheng Tian Zun.

What reversing Dao, defining Dao, he heard it all a bit confusedly.

However, if what this Overturning Sky Society Cultivator said was true…

Then he must report it to the organization as soon as possible.

Wang Qiupo looked at Xu Bai again.

The other party seemed to have guessed his thoughts and handed over a Jade Slip.

“I said I came to make a deal. Specific information about this Celestial Venerable can be revealed to you. But you need to pay for these things.”

“The importance of the previous information exchanges was far less than this one. We didn't raise the price, which shows enough sincerity. After all, we still hope you will fight the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to the death.”

Xu Bai showed a strange smile, then made a “please” gesture.

Wang Qiupo first examined the Jade Slip, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
