Chapter 721: The King’s Broken Death Counterattack

Chapter 716 – Wang Qiu Bro’s Deadly Countermeasures

The value of the items listed in the jade brief far exceeded Wang Qiubao’s imagination.

As a spy who had left his home at a young age, some of them were even unheard of by him.

In this instant, Wang Qiubao had believed in Xu Bai’s words for a few moments.

After a moment of contemplation, he signaled Xu Bai to wait here for a moment.

And then quietly lay back on the rattan chair behind him, seemingly sleeping with his eyes closed.

In Xu Bai’s perspective, Wang Qiubao’s vitality was dissipating at an alarming rate.

However, in an instant, it was as if he had already reached the end of his life, no different from a corpse.

“Worthy of being a spy who has been hidden for eight hundred years without being exposed, he does have a few tricks up his sleeve.” Xu Bai stared and sized him up for a long time, secretly pondering.

And this hut that Wang Qiubao lived in also seemed to have some divine features. The disappearance of Wang Qiubao’s vitality also did not cause the people outside to notice. They were still lining up and waiting painstakingly outside.

After a tea, a light wind seemed to blow in the house.

And then, like a withered tree springing to life, Wang Qiubao regained his vitality.

Only, Xu Bai keenly perceived that this old man, who had already lived eight hundred years, seemed to be one step closer to death.

Coughing softly, Wang Qiubao stood up again and came in front of Xu Bai.

“I’ve already confirmed with the organization that what you said, young man, is not false.”

“The several previous transactions with us also do speak to the credibility of your Overwhelming Heaven Society. However ……”

Wang Qiubao’s pale eyes stared deathly at Xu Bai, “And how are you supposed to prove that you are a member of the Overheaven Society?”

“Instead of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance trying to follow the vine and strike back after discovering my true identity?”

“What were the contents of our dealings the previous two times?”

Faced with Wang Qiubao’s successive questions, Xu Bai wasn’t surprised. With a faint smile, he gave his answer.

“The first time was the Immortal Alliance’s entry exam questions. The second time was the true identity of the ancient cultivator sought by the Immortal Alliance ……”

When Wang Qiubao heard these two sentences, his taut body instantly hunched over again.

A moment later, he said in a deep voice, “On the organization’s side, it is true that traces of the reasoning of heaven and earth being reversed have been observed. However, it has yet to lock down the true identity of this Heavenly Father ……”

“This time, the organization has agreed to this transaction.”

“However, it involves the Everlasting Heavenly Father, and if a contract is signed, it may be vaguely sensed by him. So for this transaction, it can only be agreed upon verbally and by virtue of the credibility of both parties.”

Xu Bai’s gaze flickered slightly.

And then he shook his head and smiled, “That’s fine, there will be plenty of opportunities for our two families to cooperate in the future. I believe you guys won’t go back on your word either.”

“In that case, I will inform you of this matter first.”

Xu Bai’s expression was solemn as he quietly said, “What this Heavenly Father has reversed is none other than the [Reason of Death and Life].”

“Not long ago, we discovered some cultivators in the White Mist of Devouring Yuan who appeared to be alive and not alive, but were actually dead and not dead. It was like the living dead.”

“And then associating it with the traces of the Principle of Heaven and Earth being reversed that we observed not long ago, after some investigation, we finally confirmed this matter.”

“As for the true identity of this Heavenly Father, we currently have no clue.”

“However, there are a few targets that are worthy of suspicion.”

After saying that, Xu Bai used his hand as a pen and wrote down the names “Blue Feather” and “Heavenly Doctor” in the air.

Wang Qiu Broke’s eyes narrowed as he memorized them in his mind.

Seeing that he was about to lie back on the rattan chair, Xu Bai suddenly asked the same question as before, “Does the old gentleman want to return to his hometown?”

“If I use this information I told you as a basis to negotiate terms with the Five Elders Association side.”

“I think they should agree.”

A glimmer of hope first flared up in Wang Qiu Broken’s eyes before it was quickly extinguished.

He finally shook his head and said faintly, “The destiny of spies like me is that our flesh and souls, all rot in another country.”

“As for my hometown ……”

“I have long since forgotten what it looks like.”

The voice was low, Wang Qiu broke sleeping on the rattan chair, and his vitality slowly dissipated once again.

“The things on the list will be given to you as promised.”

“You go, this time, I won’t wake up again.”

Before his vitality completely disappeared, he said so.

Xu Bai nodded, “In that case, how about borrowing your life for a while?”

Wang Qiubao was first stunned, then seemed to understand something.

Using his last ounce of strength, he slowly nodded his head.

Before his vitality completely disappeared, Xu Bai slapped out his palm.

Wang Qiubao’s corpse was instantly gone.

At the same time, Xu Bai angrily shouted, “So it’s a curmudgeon from the Five Elders Association, looking for death!”

With the death of Wang Qiubai, the restriction imposed on the hut also disappeared. Xu Bai’s voice was also able to reach the outside.

In conjunction with the falling vision generated in the sky, it instantly allowed the group of cultivators outside to understand what had happened.

This very good-looking young man had actually killed the Heavenly Liangzhou’s renowned Wang Qiubao!
There was an immediate outcry.

Anger, shock, amazement ……

Many emotions erupted together in their hearts.

“Take him down!”

The cultivators said with righteous indignation, surrounding Xu Bai, who was slowly walking out of the house.

Xu Bai, however, looked very calm, facing the crowd that was about to make a move, and in turn angrily rebuked, “You’re all going to become accomplices of the spies of the Five Elders’ Association as well!”

When the cultivators present heard this, all of their bodies stiffened.

Although they had just vaguely heard what the Five Elders Club spies were, they did not connect it with Wang Qiubao.

After all, this old man’s reputation was simply too loud. It could almost be said that no one in Tian Liang Zhou knew about it.

But this young man in front of him, also did not look like he would make a big speech and make up his own mind.

“What exactly is going on here?”

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief, surprisingly, they were bluffed into place by Xu Bai’s words.

“Quickly report it to Lord Xiang!” Only after a while did someone react.

“You can’t leave before Lord City Master comes!” They stopped Xu Bai.

“No harm done. It’s best to call all the people from the Drill Hall and the Garrison Courtyard as well. Check them out and you’ll know that what I’m saying is true.” Xu Bai didn’t resist, but said very calmly.

When the crowd saw this, they became more and more vain.

“If what this man says is true, Wang Qiu Breaking is really a spy for the Five Elders Association ……” “The sky is going to fall.”

Thinking of the countless cultivators he had raised over the years, the crowd gulped and chilled their hearts.

The crowd didn’t wait long, an orange colored recluse light, then flew from the sky dome.

It happened to be the Heavenly Cool City Lord, Xiang Rong Xin.

After scanning the surroundings and locking his gaze on Xu Bai.

Surprisingly, without saying a word, without even asking, he condescended and transformed into a giant palm.

It was about to kill Xu Bai on the spot!
“This is to kill to silence!”

When the cultivators present saw this, they were all shocked, but no one dared to stop them.

Just when they thought that this very good-looking cultivator was about to die a horrible death.

But saw him calmly pulled out a folding fan, “swish” sound, will be unfolded.

Before the giant palm could slap on his body, an invisible ripple appeared and dissolved the killing move.

“Eh?”

A look of dismay surfaced on Xiang Rong Xin’s face.

Looking at Xu Bai’s seemingly somewhat mocking gaze, a sinister streak flashed across his eyes.

He was about to invoke his full strength, vowing to kill him.

However, he suddenly heard a lazy voice coming from the sky.

“Slow down, City Lord Xiang!”

“I’ve heard that someone here has reported the execution of a spy from the Five Elders Association, is that true?”

Before the words fell, a black-clothed cultivator appeared in the middle of the field.

Xiang Rongxin’s face was instantly gloomy.

This was because the person who came was none other than the Commander of the Tian Liang Prefecture Garrison Courtyard, Nangong Shirong.

With him here, it was impossible to suppress the matter.

This was troublesome.

Looking towards the fallen visage that had yet to dissipate above his head, Xiang Rongxin sighed slightly in his heart.

“Wang Qiubao, ah Wang Qiubao, you’ve left me with a problem.”

After hearing the news from his subordinates, Xiang Rongxin immediately made his judgment. Regardless of whether or not the matter of “Wang Qiubao being a spy for the Five Elders Association” was true.

He had to make this matter a fake.

Otherwise ……

Looking at the smile on Nangong Shirong’s face, Xiang Rongxin seemed to have already seen the bloodshed that was about to start in Tianling Prefecture, and even in the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

“This little friend, come with me.” Nangong Shirong said to Xu Bai in an amiable tone.

“That’s exactly what I want to do.” Xu Bai arched his hand, his face fearless.

What happened next progressed very quickly.

Xu Bai balked at the fact that he had discovered that Wang Qiu Breaking might be a spy based on some clues.

With the purpose of punishing the traitors and eliminating the evils for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he then personally came to his door to try and find out.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually greatly admitted his true identity, and also tried to launch an attack on Xu Bai.

Xu Bai was forced to counterattack and kill him.

Things were simple.

Nangong Shirong also didn’t seem to look deeply into the truth or falsehood of Xu Bai’s words, but instead directly ordered his men to start investigating Wang Qiu Breaking.

Even if he wasn’t a spy, he couldn’t stand up to the garrison’s meticulous investigation.

Wherever you go, you will leave traces.

What’s more, Wang Qiu Broke is indeed a spy of the Five Elders Association.

It did not take long for Nangong Shirong to get hold of a lot of conclusive “evidence”.

“Hahahahaha, little friend has made a great achievement for my Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance this time!” Nangong Shirong patted Xu Bai’s shoulder with great force, an extremely pleased expression on his face.

“Until the dust settles, you should stay here and not go out. Lest some people retaliate maliciously. Don’t worry, after everything is ascertained, none of the commendations that are due will be missing!”

Xu Bai looked solemn as he said, “Clearing out the traitors and evils for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is the mission of my generation.”

Seeing Xu Bai’s awareness so high, Nangong Shirong was very satisfied.

He patted Xu Bai’s shoulder again as a sign of encouragement. Nangong Shirong hurriedly left.

The conclusion of this matter was even faster than Xu Bai had expected.

This was because the Five Elders Association’s side had also made an effort.

In the face of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance’s questioning and accusations, the Five Elders Association claimed that there was no such thing. Wang Qiu Broke did not have a single relationship with the Five Elders Association at all.

The Five Elders Association had always adhered to the principle of both parties living in peace and would never take the initiative to destroy their relationship.

I hope that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will not make a fool out of themselves.

……

The more they denied it, the deeper the suspicion became.

Although all the signs indicate that this may be a spy Wang Qiubu before his death to make a disassociative trick.

But ……

It is better to kill a thousand wrongly than to let one go.

Within a short period of ten days, those cultivators who rose to power because they were recommended by Wang Qiubao were isolated and investigated.

Even some of those exploring in the white mist were forcibly shouted back.

The end result was also obvious.

The small portion that were really found out were taken down directly.

Most of them, even though there was no evidence to prove that they had problems, were not reused from then on. They were sent to the Clearwater post, and if there were no accidents, they would have to spend the rest of their lives here forever.

Just as the entire Immortal Alliance was in turmoil.

A garrison courtyard cultivator who took the opportunity to fill in because a number of cultivators had been redeployed from their original positions and a large number of positions had become vacant, however, came to Li Fan.

“This is the agreed upon supplies.”

“The organization is very satisfied with this transaction.”

“I look forward to our next cooperation.”
