Chapter 574: 546
“Hehe, the Beast Soul Bead you guys provided last time was very useful.”
“Especially the one that sealed [Crimson Nine Head]’s fragments. It was truly extraordinary. Lan Yuchang was just an ordinary mortal with a little martial skill and above average strength.”
“But after absorbing it, his combat power skyrocketed. Even the average God Transforming cultivator from our place is no match for him.”
“According to Lan Yuchang, this is still him holding back.”
“If he goes all out… hehe.”
Li Fan was unstoppable with his words, speaking without hesitation.
When Little Green heard the name [Crimson Nine Head], her face changed slightly.
Then, after hearing Li Fan saying that someone could withstand the violent aura of the Nine-headed bird, and successfully absorb that Beast Soul Bead.
She was so startled that she blurted out, “Impossible! How can a mortal withstand that creature’s violent aura…”
Li Fan, however, looked displeased, “You think our United Federation of All Realms has no experts? Just because the Empire can’t find suitable candidates, doesn’t mean we can’t.”
“Don’t tell me you think that by trading with us once, you can be on par with us?”
Li Fan behaved like a young man fresh out of the countryside, speaking out mindlessly, unacquainted with the concept of ‘tact’.”
He sneered, “We, the United Federation of All Realms, have only traded with you to help you.”
“There are many small worlds around Xuanhuang World, not counting yours.”
“The Empire needs the help from United Federation of All Realms. We do not need you specifically.”
After listening to Li Fan’s unsightly words, Little Green’s face turned extremely gloomy.
However, she managed to hold back her anger and didn’t snap at him.
Despite Li Fan’s incessant chattering, he stopped midway upon noticing that Little Green was not reacting.
Little Green’s gaze toward Li Fan became somewhat hostile.
However, after this exchange, she had no more doubts about Li Fan’s identity.
She picked up where she left off and quietly asked, “My friend, if both parties feel that the trade is beneficial, why would you suddenly halt it?”
Li Fan sighed, and honestly said, “Because we’re facing insurmountable obstacles.”
He leaned forward and whispered, “According to our intelligence, a war is likely to break out between the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization.”
“You know, the period leading up to a war is often a time of great tension on both sides.”
“As the saying goes, internal conflicts must be resolved before facing external threats. If the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals were to discover any trace of us, the United Federation of All Realms, they might eliminate us to avoid any internal threats before their conflict with the Five Elders Organization.”
Li Fan shook his head without any embarrassment, “To be frank, our organization is weaker compared to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization, and there’s no denying that.”
“We still need to accumulate strength, so for now, we can only lay low.”
Suddenly, Li Fan became excited, “Moreover, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals and the Five Elders Organization haven’t had a major conflict in many years.”
“This war will surely be unprecedented in scale and intensity. While they fight each other, we can lay low and take advantage of the chaos.”
“Perhaps we can even profit from their troubles and seize some benefits.”
Little Green looked at Li Fan’s self-satisfied expression, slightly skeptical of his claim about the “impending war”.
The Empire also has its own sources of information.
For the past few years, there haven’t been many law thieves but they are scattered throughout the Xuanhuang World.
Since returning to the Immortal Cultivation World, Little Green has managed to contact most of them.
Because of their presence, Little Green is quite aware of the current situation in the Xuanhuang World.
As the saying goes, great winds arise from the smallest of grasses.
A war can’t just break out without a cause, right?
If the upcoming war is as intense as he said.
There should be some signs before it happens.
“Perhaps they overlooked some details…”
Engrossed in her thoughts, Little Green didn’t care about Li Fan’s thoughts.
Instead, he brazenly asked Little Green for the “Beast Soul Bead.”
“Ah, my friends were really jealous when I came. They want me to bring back some specialties.”
“Lord Qing, Master Qing.”
“Anyway, you have as many of these things as you want in the Empire. Just give me some. I also need to report back.”
Seeing Li Fan’s playful grin, Little Green almost laughed out loud.
However, there was no need to argue with such a person.
With that thought, Little Green took out two Beast Soul Beads equivalent to the strength of a Gold Core and handed them over.
But he wasn’t satisfied and shamelessly asked for more.
This time, Little Green didn’t hold back and directly dismissed him.
“I really don’t have any more Beast Soul Beads. Friend, please leave!”
Li Fan was quick to drop his friendly facade.
Just a moment ago, he was calling her ‘Master Qing’, but now he gave her a glaring look. With a cold snort, he left without a word.”
“How can there be such a person in the United Federation of All Realms.”
“If he were in our empire, he would have been fed to the Splitting Realm Whale!”
Little Green was so angry she could bite.
“The last guy was so much better.”
She reminisced about the satisfactory exchange they had before.
The subsequent handover of resources was also arranged flawlessly.
“It’s a pity that he must be too busy to come.” Little Green thought with some regret.
She collected her thoughts and began to contact spies within the Empire, asking about any recent abnormalities in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.”
Whether there are any signs that war is about to erupt.
Soon, responses from the law thieves surged in.
Everything seemed as usual, with no news of any war.
Now, it was Little Green’s turn to be unsure.
“Is it true or not?”
—————–
While this Saint of the Empire was getting a headache, He Zhenghao was busily counting money.
His face was full of smiles. Every time he received a transfer of contribution points, he would diligently record it and respond to the creditors.
“Rest assured, Friend Qin. I have received your contribution points. Just wait for your big fortune!”
“Brother Wei, I have noted down your ten thousand contribution points. I know that you have scraped up everything for this. It’s the same for everyone. No need to worry, could the Emissary possibly let you down?”
