Chapter 515: Chapter 487: Sudden Attack on the Ten Thousand Immortals
“They have sealed the ruins and expelled the cultivators inside. They are even checking their storage rings.”
“As if there is some peerless treasure inside.”
Jiao Xiuyuan spoke in a low voice, his eyes gleaming.
“Although I am not afraid of them, peace brings wealth. I didn’t want to create conflict, so I quietly left.”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan stroked his chin.
“The Defense Institute…”
As an elite armed organization only present within several provinces of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, their blockade and excavation of the Medicine King Sect remains were indeed odd.
Was it possible that his previous statement, “Tianxuan Spirit Locking, Xuanhuang Unification,” had spurred the cultivators of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals to unravel the future?
Had they discovered the approaching return of the true Medicine King Cauldron to the Xuanhuang World?
“How does Friend Jiao view this matter? Does it correlate with my prior prediction, or the possible chance related to the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron?” After pondering, Li Fan turned to Jiao Xiuyuan to ask.
Surprisingly, Jiao Xiuyuan shook his head in denial.
“After returning, I made inquiries. It’s not only the Medicine King Sect ruins. The ruins of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Supreme Sect, and so forth that are within our Alliance’s territory are all sealed off by the cultivators of the Defense Institute.”
“No one is allowed to approach, yet they themselves are tirelessly tinkering inside.”
A hint of confusion laced Jiao Xiuyuan’s voice.
” I sacrificed a few puppets. After sneaking in, I realized that they were not so much searching for objects as they were searching for a person!”
“Searching for a person?” Li Fan was taken aback. “Why do you think so?”
“The cultivators inside the ruins, all were holding Soul Sensing Beads. This magic tool is extremely sensitive to the aura of life. Even if a cultivator is in deep slumber and holds onto a sliver of vitality, it can still sense it.” As he spoke, Jiao Xiuyuan glanced at Li Fan.
Li Fan considered thoughtfully, “Your point is, they may be searching for an ancient cultivator who, just like me, fell into a deep slumber thousands of years ago?”
“There’s a ninety percent chance.” Jiao Xiuyuan declared.
“That’s certainly odd…” Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals wouldn’t engage in aimless actions.
With such noticeable movements, they were clearly aiming for a result.
“In other words, they are certain of the existence of such a slumbering ancient cultivator, but unsure of his exact location.”
” They are only certain that he is within the ruins of various ancient sects, thus, they are searching by casting a broad net.”
“This person must be extraordinarily crucial to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and…”
“The Alliance’s reason for searching for him is surely tied to my prior ‘TianXuan Spirit Locking’ statement.”
Li Fan pondered for a while but still came up with nothing.
“Friend Jiao, are you sure you didn’t dig out a single Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron?” He glanced at Jiao Xiuyuan and asked sharply.
Jiao Xiuyuan hesitated for a moment and replied awkwardly, “I guess I couldn’t fool you. There indeed was some gain.”
“Unfortunately, I have bad luck. The very moment I dug out one, cultivators from the Defense Institute showed up.”
“Moreover, due to this event, the prices of items recently unearthed from sect ruins have all soared.”
“Quite a few cultivators have come to inquire about the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron, so…”
Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan, his eyes conveying his intention of demanding a higher price.
However, Li Fan waved his hand dismissively. “If this thing is being chased so fervently, then never mind. Friend Jiao, it’s best if you dispose of it yourself!”
Not engaging in negotiation, he directly gave up.
Jiao Xiuyuan was left stunned by this.
“Er, Li Fan, aren’t you going to reconsider…”
“I’m all for the saying ‘let others have their way’. It’s merely an opportunity, it’s not like I’m lacking them!” With an air of indifference, Li Fan directly refused Jiao Xiuyuan.
Looking at Jiao Xiuyuan’s stunned expression, Li Fan added, “Rather, I’m very interested in what you said about the Alliance searching for an ancient cultivator.”
“Perhaps, he could be an old acquaintance of mine.”
“I know you have wide-reaching connections; please investigate this for me!” Li Fan stared firmly at Jiao Xiuyuan.
“We will forget about the Little Pharma Sovereign Cauldron then, but you won’t deceive me about this matter, right?”
Li Fan cast a glance at the signboard hanging outside the house that read “Thousand Miles Hall” and said solemnly.
“Rest assured! I, Jiao Xiuyuan, will not blacken my own reputation!” Knowing he was at fault, Jiao Xiuyuan quickly agreed.
“Well then…”
Just as Li Fan was about to speak, there came sudden noises from outside the house.
The two men exchanged glances, noticing the peculiar atmosphere, they tacitly ceased their conversation and stepped outside.
On Ten Thousand Immortals Island, the tall Statue of Dharma Transmission was emitting beams of light, shooting straight into the sky.
The Island Protection Array had been activated when they were not aware.
Outside the Protective Array, a massive purple door stood erect.
Cultivators poured out from the door relentlessly.
“The Five Elders Organization?”
Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan exclaimed in surprise simultaneously.
“Have they gone mad? Are they gearing up for a full-blown war with the Immortal Alliance?” Jiao Xiuyuan’s voice held a note of astonishment.
Apparently, this sudden attack by the Five Elders Organization was extremely secretive, catching even Jiao Xiuyuan, who had his informants all over the Immortal Cultivation World, by surprise.
What had happened?
The Five Elders Organization had instigated a war?
Their target was not Five Elements Great Cave Heaven, but this Ten Thousand Immortals Island?
In an instant, Li Fan’s thoughts were whirling.
“Friend Jiao, have other provinces also been attacked by the Five Elders Organization?” After a moment, Li Fan asked solemnly.
“No. Only the Ten Thousand Immortals Island in the Misthaven Ocean is the target of the Five Elders Organization’s attack.” After a pause, Jiao Xiuyuan responded, his voice still laced with confusion.
Li Fan’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat at a loss.
The two of them remained silent for a time, merely lifting their heads to watch the battlefield dynamics in the sky.
The two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs on the island had been called away to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, so the defense of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island was obviously lacking.
Not daring to confront the enemy head on, they could only use the array technique to hold on desperately.
At the same time, they were hoping reinforcements from other places would arrive soon.
But the Five Elders Organization was well prepared. The teleportation array had become useless.
Even communication seemed to have been blocked and couldn’t be transmitted.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Island was gradually losing ground, and all the cultivators on the island watching the fight turned pale.
Having lived in peace for so long, they had never witnessed a spectacle like this.
Time moved forward, and what surprised everyone was that after the Five Elders Organization had gained an absolute advantage and broken the Protective Array, they didn’t choose to invade the island. Instead, they set up an array right above the Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
Thread-like lines descended from the central array above and then shot towards the edges of the island.
“Sky and Earth Swapping Array?”
Li Fan and Jiao Xiuyuan uttered exclamations of surprise yet again.
“Are the Five Elders planning on moving the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island?”
The astonishment in their eyes grew deeper.
The array was set up in the blink of an eye, and the threads began to emit a faint white light.
The ground of the Ten Thousand Immortals Island began to shake violently.
