Single-handedly pushes the bloody battle

As thoughts surged in his mind, Li Fan's words didn't stop.

He said with a serious expression, "This matter is extremely important. After our evaluation, its significance is no less than the prophecy of Tianxuan Locking Spirit and the unification of Xuanhuang."

"Even…" Li Fan smiled slightly in his heart as he watched the face on the broken stone completely lose its composure.

He continued, "If the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is allowed to complete this matter without hindrance, it might be enough to completely change the balance of power between the Immortal Alliance and your Five Old Men Association."

"The Five Old Men Association and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are already evenly matched in overall strength. In fact, due to the existence of the Celestial Venerable of Dharma Transmission, you have been subtly suppressed. If the power of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is further enhanced, I'm afraid that from now on, your Five Old Men Association will forever be suppressed and unable to raise your heads, always remaining at a disadvantage."

"This is something we don't want to see," Li Fan said truthfully.

"This is also why I'm so anxious to find you. I also know that a spy frequently contacting his superior will definitely arouse suspicion. But the matter was sudden, and I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure." Li Fan sighed and shook his head.

"Is that true?" The face's tone became very solemn. He believed that the other party would not deceive him on such a matter; it must be well-founded.

But more important than the prophecy of Xuanhuang's unification…

This was really a bit too alarmist.

One should know that ever since he was the first in the organization to report the news of the prophecy last time, the Five Old Men Association had been making continuous big moves.

His superiors also became unprecedentedly kind to him. They even promised that as long as he made another equally meritorious contribution, he could not only retire honorably and no longer have to struggle on the front lines, but also redeem his Soul Contract, thereby becoming the most enviable 'Free Cultivator' among the Five Old Men Association's Cultivator group.

…

From this, it was clear how great the secret behind the prophecy of Xuanhuang's unification was.

But now, this mysterious Cultivator, who was wearing Zhou Qingang's skin, said there was an even more important secret than that?

The face only felt his heart pounding more violently than ever before.

Could it be that his chance to completely change his fate had arrived?

"What exactly is it?" He asked impatiently.

Li Fan raised an index finger: "Old rules. Ten million contribution points."

Before the face could speak, Li Fan explained, "The development of any organization is inseparable from ample funds."

"Although we also don't want the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to grow too large and for the balance of power between you to be lost, the prerequisite for all of this is to first ensure our own existence and development."

"Don't think it's expensive. Since you were willing to spend ten million contribution points last time…"

"Believe me, this time it will definitely not be a loss."

Li Fan looked at the face on the broken stone with sincere eyes: "Go quickly and apply to your superiors, I'll wait for your answer here."

The face hesitated for a moment, then quickly disappeared from the broken stone.

Li Fan stood in place, closing his eyes and waiting.

After about the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, the face reappeared: "The superiors have agreed. How do we trade?"

Li Fan suddenly opened his eyes: "Soon, Secretary-character Envoy Li Fan of Congyun Sea will restart the contribution points collection."

"You only need to hand over ten million contribution points to He Zhenghao, who is responsible for the collection, within three months."

"Hmm… Let's use the pseudonym Han Wuyou," Li Fan said.

"Wuyou?"

The face was startled and quickly shook his head: "Let's change the name. This one is a bit taboo."

Li Fan was silent for a moment.

"Then let it be Liu Yihang," he said again.

"That's fine. And what you just said…"

Before the face could finish speaking, Li Fan interrupted him.

"The matter is urgent and cannot be delayed. Since you have already agreed, I can tell you now."

"As for if you break the contract for these mere ten million contribution points…"

Li Fan let out a low laugh: "Then it can only be said that we misjudged. Your Five Old Men Association is simply not qualified to be the opponent of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."

"Consider this message our free gift to you."

"I believe you will make the correct choice."

Li Fan placed his hands on the smooth broken stone and transmitted the information he had already fabricated in his mind using a secret art.

"Besides the Wood Attribute Grotto-Heaven, there are four other great Grotto-Heavens?"

"They form a Five Elements array, and within each Grotto-Heaven, various resources are extremely abundant, like a complete new world?!" A moment later, the face's exclamation came.

"Remember, ten million contribution points within three months." Li Fan, at the opportune moment, reminded the face, bringing him back from his shock.

Before the face could speak, Li Fan struck out with a palm, shattering the broken stone into dust.

Afterward, he proceeded to completely destroy this underwater ruin, covering up all traces, before swaggering back to Congyun City.

Meanwhile, inside Bu Zheng Hall, Li Fan's main body stood up.

"If there are no surprises, the Five Old Men Association, having learned of the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven's existence, will certainly not remain indifferent."

"There's a high probability that, just like in the previous life, they will send Dao Integration cultivators to raid and seize the Five Elements Cave Heaven."

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance should also fight back fiercely, and a great war will be on the verge of breaking out."

"I remember in the previous life, when the battle fell into a stalemate, it was extremely tragic. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from all states were mobilized to the Tianling State battlefield."

"Countless Cultivators perished as a result. Although I only have Golden Core cultivation on the surface in this life, I have previously slaughtered several Nascent Soul cultivators who teamed up. With the actual combat strength I've displayed, there's still a high possibility of me being conscripted."

"Tianling State battlefield…"

"It's better to stay far away from it."

So Li Fan immediately summoned Gao Yuan and He Zhenghao and announced two matters.

The first matter was that he claimed to have sensed a rare and great Opportunity approaching. And as the current de facto Dominator of Congyun Sea, based on the principle of seeking welfare for the Cultivators of Congyun Sea, he decided to restart the contribution points collection plan.

The upper limit for this collection was…

One hundred million.

When Li Fan said the words "one hundred million," He Zhenghao's eyes widened, and he stood dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

And Gao Yuan's eyes, looking at Li Fan, were filled with fanaticism.

Before the two of them could return to normal, Li Fan announced the second matter.

This contribution points collection was of great importance and could not afford any mistakes.

He needed to make full preparations.

Therefore, from this day forward, he would enter a state of deep seclusion.

And he would close all contact methods, preventing any disturbances.

He would only emerge from seclusion when all preparations were complete.

"This…" Hearing Li Fan's two seemingly contradictory commands—to enter seclusion while also collecting contribution points—Gao Yuan and He Zhenghao's brows furrowed simultaneously, seeming somewhat puzzled.

However, Gao Yuan reacted a step faster and quickly said, "We respectfully obey Lord Secret Envoy's command."

"Lord, rest assured, we will not fail your trust!"

Happy New Year to all my fellow readers, may you all have a good year…
