My Simulated Road to Immortality

Chapter 569: Chapter 541: Want to Destroy the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals

“I see.” Li Fan nodded slightly, his face as calm as an ancient well, but his tone held a hint of regret. “A single careless mistake is not a fault of war.”

“Hmph, you were able to deceive us for so long, you’re truly cunning!” The face on the smooth broken stone flickered in and out of visibility, reflecting his current inner turmoil.

“I should have realized something was wrong. With Zhou Qingang’s mediocre abilities, he was still able to accomplish several miracles in just a few short years…”

“I was blinded by these impressive achievements and thought he had simply defied fate.”

“Now, looking back, the occasional stroke of luck can be explained. But several times, good luck favoring one so much…”

“Hmph, Zhou Qingang is not someone of destined importance.” The face was tinged with annoyance as he slowly spoke.

However, the face was constantly focusing on Li Fan, trying to spot any traces of smugness on his face.

However, Li Fan’s expression remained constant. Even after having his identity exposed, there was not a hint of panic.

This made the face on the broken stone feel somewhat doubtful, and he eventually stopped his speech.

As a result, the underwater ruins fell silent.

After a while, it was ultimately the face who couldn’t hold back, asking in a deep voice: “Who are you?!”

“The question for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals job application, the events that happened on Ten Thousand Immortals Island when it was sealed off…”

“Every single one of these events is an absolute secret. Those who can know of these must hold high positions within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. To betray us just to gain a little merit…”

“Was it done in order to gain our trust, so you can infiltrate us?”

After a meticulous reasoning process, the face concluded that Li Fan was a comrade.

“Relax, I’m not a spy for the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.” Li Fan said plainly, “On the contrary, my purpose aligns with you, the Five Elders Organization.”

“Which is to…”

“Destroy the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!”

“What?” Li Fan spoke lightly, but it struck the ears of the face as a thunderbolt of surprise.

“You…” The face seemed to stand up in shock, staring dumbfounded at Li Fan.

After a moment, he quickly composed himself, full of disbelief, “Are you trying to deceive me again?”

Li Fan, as if ignoring the face’s response, continued, “The Immortal Alliance is ruthless, taking Cultivators for granted, and exploiting them at will. It may seem that the Alliance’s rule is unbreakable and everyone submits. But…”

Li Fan’s tone changed, revealing a sharp edge and a soaring spirit, “As cultivators, we strive against fate. We fear nothing, not even Tiandu. Not to mention the mere Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!”

“Among all living beings, there will always be some who would rather die than not rise up. They’d rather die in battle than live like livestock!”

“Death before dishonor!”

…

His aura peaked, and even the face across him was moved by his impassioned words.

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly changed the subject: “However, the Immortal Alliance is powerful. If we do not seize the correct means of struggle, and act recklessly, it’s no different than seeking death.”

“Although we are not afraid of death, we do not wish to waste our precious lives without making any contribution.”

“Therefore…” Li Fan looked at the face meaningfully.

On the smooth broken stone, the face fell silent for a while after hearing, contemplative, “So, you’re thinking of targeting us, the Five Elders Organization?”

Li Fan confessed frankly, “Exactly. Even though from the current information, you Five Elders Organization are no better. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”

Li Fan spoke with a profound and frank tone, “Or perhaps, when two tigers fight, one will surely be injured. Let you dogs fight amongst each other, fight to the death. When the time comes, we’ll step forward to clean up the mess and reconstruct Qiankun!”

Listening to the most absurd words in the world, the face didn’t even bother to laugh, and simply sneered, “So we’re dealing with a group of madmen.”

Li Fan remained unphased, saying earnestly, “When the Celestial Dharma Bearer intended to establish a new law and change the world, I suppose the majority of people also believed he was an outright madman.”

“After all, the strict rule of the Immortal Dao Ten Clans back then was no less momentous than the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals now.”

“But where are the Immortal Dao Ten Clans now?”

“If the Law Transmission succeeded, who’s to say we Overturning Heaven Society…”

As if accidentally revealing too much, Li Fan paused, then corrected himself, “Who’s to say we can’t do it?”

The face narrowed his eyes and gave Li Fan a deep look, not commenting further.

“In a sense, we’re natural allies right now, aren’t we?” Li Fan continued.

“Actually, according to our current battle strategy, we have no plans to go against you, the Five Elders Organization, for now.”

“We hold no malicious intentions. This can be seen from the various pieces of information I provided earlier. If we had the intention to sabotage you, we could absolutely let you Five Elders Organization suffer a great loss unknowingly.”

“The reason we made contact with you through the identity of Zhou Qingang was simply because our identities can’t be exposed within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals. If someone suddenly approached you, wouldn’t you think your cover had been blown and run away immediately?”

“Haha, I understand people like you all too well.”

“That reminds me of Zhou Qingang. I just remembered, he’s still alive. It’s not impossible to release him back to you.”

Li Fan spoke fluently and confidently.

However, the other party didn’t look too pleased, “That idiot can fend for himself!”

After a while, the face managed to suppress his anger and asked in a deep voice, “Have you said all this because you still want to work with us?”

Li Fan smiled then posed a rhetorical question, “Why ask when you already know the answer? After realizing Zhou Qingang was exposed, you didn’t immediately cut off communication and instead chatted with me for quite a while. Isn’t it because you’re unsure of my identity and still craved the absolute secret information I may provide?”

“Surely you aren’t suggesting that the spy network of the Five Elders Organization is idle?”

The face let out a cold laugh and didn’t retort, as if acknowledging Li Fan’s words.

“Alright, there’s no need to beat around the bush. We’ve recently received some new, top-secret information.” Li Fan slowly said, observing the face’s reaction.

As expected, the other party changed color slightly, and a glint of desire flashed in his eyes.

“To him, whether I am really Zhou Qingang, whether I am really a mole of the Five Elders Organization, doesn’t matter. What’s important is whether I can provide him with the secrets of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”

Li Fan’s thoughts were clear in his heart.

“No spy wants to maintain their identity for a lifetime. Achieving great merit and retiring successfully to enjoy peace, these desirable days, is what they dream of.”

“And I can help him achieve this.”
