Chapter 504: The Uprising in Disarray
Chapter 502 – The Uppity Messes Up the Front
“Even Jiao Xiuyuan said so, it seems that these strategic materials of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance really can’t be procured through conventional means.”
Li Fan pondered in his heart.
He knew very well that it was impossible to achieve zero loss for a big project like rebuilding an entire Floating Immortal City.
And the Immortal City was like a huge and precise instrument that might not be able to function properly with certain key components missing.
Even if he could cover it up in some way, he would inevitably be reported by those who were secretly spying on him.
So ……
“Unringing the bell is still necessary.” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This group of people behind the scenes were counting on themselves for nothing more than revenge and profit.
They also by no means wanted to end up making things unmanageable and attracting probes from higher levels.
Cong Yun Immortal City, in the end, would definitely complete its reconstruction.
This was the supreme will from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance that no one could defy.
As for in whose hands the reconstruction would be completed, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance did not actually care.
However, it was about the future prospects of Li Fan as well as this group of cultivators who followed him.
“The part of the list of supplies that was deducted must still be with Zhou Ke Bao and the others.”
“What we need to do now is to find a way to make them spit out what they swallowed.”
Thinking about this, Li Fan unleashed his Phase-less Killing Machine, and his viewpoint landed on Zhou Ke Bao.
In a gloomy room in the Dust Crossing Boat.
Zhou Ke Bao was anxiously walking back and forth, and in front of him, an unreadable light shadow kept flickering.
Shortly afterward, the light shadow stopped leaping and several figures appeared in it.
“How’s it going? What did Tantai Can he say?” Zhou Ke Bao asked eagerly.
“The message was sent, no reply.”
“No reply back to me either.”
“Just rejected it!”
Different voices rang out at once.
Zhou Ke Bao’s face instantly rose to the color of pig’s liver, and he was so angry that he wanted to directly curse his mother. But with his mouth trembling slightly, he eventually held back.
After a moment of silence, a silhouette from the opposite side couldn’t help but ask out loud, “What exactly does he, Tantai Can, mean?”
“Yes, he was instigating us before, why has he suddenly changed his mind and sided with Li Fan?”
“Alright! Everyone stop arguing!” While the crowd was arguing, a magnetic voice suddenly chided out.
This person seemed to have an extremely high level of authority, and once he spoke, the rest of the cultivators all quieted down.
“As of now, we seem to have fallen into that Tantai Can’s trap.”
He calmly analyzed, “First, he used the tens of millions of contribution degrees on Li Fan as bait to lure us in.”
“After we have spent quite a bit of money to get through the so-called [doorway] that he provided, we want to force Li Fan to give in.”
“He will then strike back at this time ……”
Zhou Ke Bao slammed the table, “This doesn’t make sense! What does Tantai Can he want? Those of us who are here, although we can’t be compared to his Tantai family, but united, we’re not something to be messed with either! Why did Tantai Can make so many enemies for no reason?”
These words caused the crowd to echo, clearly unable to understand Tantai Can’s actions.
“Perhaps, Tantai Can doesn’t want to be hostile to us, but wants to completely subdue us!” Right at this moment, a silhouette suddenly said.
“I’ve heard that because of the Puyao True Leaf incident not too long ago, Tantai Can was criticized by name by Immortal Li Joint Force. During this period of time, his position in the clan has been extremely unfavorable. Even some of his handlers originally, there are quite a few who have switched to other children of the Tantai family.”
“He will definitely think of various methods to consolidate his position. That’s why he’s set his sights on us.” These words drew the crowd to stare and think.
“Not bad! Right now, it seems that his ploy is successful. We are now riding a tiger! The plan of trying to intimidate Li Fan with the Cong Yun Immortal City’s work schedule has obviously fizzled out. Li Fan and Tantai Can are in cahoots, and those materials we withheld, he shouldn’t be lacking at all.”
“[Transmission Spirit Skeleton], [Heavenly Xuan Shattered Crystal], [Ancient Wood of the Transforming Specter] ……”
“All of these things are strictly forbidden for individuals to keep private. It’s not a problem for us to cover them in our hands for a short period of time, but if we keep using them and don’t go out, if we are found out ……” Zhou Ke Bao couldn’t help but shiver.
“We would like to sell them, but these things, apart from building the Immortal City, there is no other use for them!”
“Nowadays, besides the Cong Yunhai, where else under the sky is there a hanging city under construction.”
“Tantai Can’s little child is truly despicable! I’m afraid that before long, he’ll be coming to the door to threaten!”
“Hiss, it’s quite possible. After all, whether it’s withholding city building materials, or secretly offering bribes, it’s all unseemly matters.”
The more they discussed it, the more annoyed the crowd became.
It was still that majestic voice that pacified the crowd.
“Don’t disorganize yourself, the situation isn’t as bad as we thought.”
“Everything is just our guesses, it’s possible that we’re just scaring ourselves.”
“In this case, since Tantai Can’s side can’t be contacted, let’s first poke around from Li Fan’s side to find out what’s going on. See what the situation is.”
Zhou Ke Bao sniffed and nodded.
“Although this person is an ancient cultivator, he is quite mysterious. At Jindan cultivation level, he can stir up the storm and is involved with many veteran Transformation Spirits, so don’t be careless.” The man admonished.
“Please don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Long, I’ll save myself.” Zhou Ke Bao replied with his mouth full.
The light gradually dispersed, and with it, Li Fan withdrew his sight.
“So it’s a bunch of rabble.” He kindly smiled.
At that moment, he carefully thought about how he could peel off a layer of skin from this group of people.
—
Zhou Ke Bao’s patience, however, was a bit beyond Li Fan’s expectations.
When the reconstruction of the Cong Yun Immortal City had begun with a bang, and more than a dozen supporting cultivators from the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance had reached one after another, he still did not test the waters against Li Fanji.
He just pretended as if nothing had happened and greeted Li Fan every day as usual.
If it wasn’t for the Dao Transformation Stone in his head clearly recording their conversations truthfully, Li Fan would have thought that what he had seen was just an illusion.
However, Li Fan’s patience was also very good.
“No rush, play with him.”
There were still more than four months before the deadline for the Immortal City to complete its reconstruction, so Li Fan could afford to wait.
Through Jiao Xiuyuan, after replenishing some of the regular supplies.
The progress of the foundation construction of Immortal City, on the other hand, was not delayed at all.
On the other hand, the main buildings such as the Overdistance Teleportation Phalanx, the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, and the Hall of Cloth and Government were to be constructed uniformly at the end.
Not to mention the fact that the supplies in hand would also provide a chance for trial and error.
So Li Fan was in no hurry at all.
Of course, while building the Cong Yun Immortal City, he didn’t forget the task explained by the First Scribe.
To build the [Xuan Tian Locking Specter Formation], in the foundation of the Immortal City.
Li Fan’s level of formation dao nowadays had already achieved some minor success.
He had even personally participated in the construction of the [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit Formation], and his vision far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators.
In this Heavenly Xuanxuan Spirit Locking Formation diagram, Li Fan clearly saw the shadow of the Spirit Locking Formation.
