Dong Fangyao was slightly nervous in his heart: “This man is called Li Fan, and he is…”

In a brief and concise manner, he began to introduce Li Fan’s life to Lu Qixian.

Although Huang Fusong did not proactively mention this person’s information, Dong Fangyao understood his brother’s intentions easily on the day he noticed his strange expression when looking at Li Fan.

He immediately investigated discreetly.

Whether it was Li Fan’s unconventional behavior in the rumors, or the astonishing speed at which his deeds were acclaimed, Dong Fangyao deemed this man to be anything but ordinary.

It’s even possible that the unexpected visit from Huang Fusong was because of this Li Fan.

Now, when Chief Lu suddenly asked, it indeed confirmed his suspicion.

However, there are some things, even if one has guessed them, what should be said and what should not be spoken out loud.

This is what Dong Fangyao knows perfectly well.

As a subordinate, all he needs to do is cooperate with leadership.

If he were to act smart, and ruin the strategy of someone above, hopeless future would be the least of his worries.

He might even risk losing his life mysteriously.

With this in mind, Dong Fangyao was not negligent, and meticulously shared the superficial information he had gathered about Li Fan.

Lu Qixian observed that both of her subordinates seemed to have something on their minds.

However, she didn’t intend to delve into it.

There aren’t many things in the world that warrant her attention, and these two Transforming God Array Mages obviously were not among them.

Instead, the man who had saved her daughter’s life had taken her by surprise.

She had heard of the name Li Fan before.

To be able to risk his life to save another in a time of danger was indeed very rare in the current era.

More importantly, the fact that he could still hold the first line of Array Construction despite his lifespan running out, was a noteworthy and commendable deed.

Perhaps this man was inherently virtuous and moral, or perhaps the Techniques he cultivated were special, and his actions were purely out of self-interest.

Neither mattered to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

What mattered was that he had indeed done all those things.

What mattered was to make the majority of cultivators believe so.

For the name of a Golden Core Cultivator to be heard by her, there must have been involved hands behind the scenes.

Lu Qixian was not surprised by this.

If her guess was correct, if Li Fan were to perish before the construction of the array was finished, the Alliance would take measures to preserve his life.

Just like buying a horse with a hefty sum, they would orchestrate some publicity.

Making good use of everything was their customary way of doing things.

A few images of the Dharma Transmitters flashed through her mind, and a shadow descended upon Lu Qixian’s heart.

As one of the earliest believers who actively spread the Law Transmission and created the original Alliance of Thousands of Immortals together with the Celestial Dharma Bearer.

The Dharma Transmitters had been in control of the highest authority of the Alliance since the Celestial Dharma Bearer disappeared.

One could not ignore them purely based on their cultivation base, all of them were no less than Lu Qixian herself.

The ability to survive countless calamities over thousands of years alone was enough to make them invincible.

What’s more, they seemingly held the power to control the Tianxuan Mirror…

“Tianxuan Spirit Locking is only the first step.”

Lu Qixian sneered in her heart and pushed these thoughts away.

Her gaze returned to the old cultivator below.

“Thinking they have control over everything, I wonder how they would react if I suddenly intervened.”

Prior to this, although she was the savior of her daughter, Lu Qixian did not intend to specifically express gratitude.

After all, he had hastily left after rescuing her daughter without asking for anything.

In Lu Qixian’s eyes, this indicated that Li Fan had given up his opportunity voluntarily.

But now, this person appeared in front of her as a pawn of those people. freewebnøvel.com

This change made Lu Qixian reconsider her assumptions.

After pondering for a while, she checked Li Fan’s rank on the Grand Competition Gold List.

“Forty-fifth place.”

“Perhaps I can lend him a hand…”

With this in mind, she turned to Dong Fangyao and Huang Fusong, asking, “What do you think of him?”

Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao glanced at each other, their hearts filled with apprehension.

We could hardly speak ill of him if you’ve specifically asked about him.

Having a backer is indeed great.

With feelings of envy, the two of them took turns to praise Li Fan, mentioning all his remarkable aspects.

If Li Fan were present and heard their praise, he would probably feel embarrassed.

When she felt it was enough, Lu Qixian nodded in agreement: “He has made so many sacrifices for the popularization of the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, yet the Alliance hasn’t rewarded him accordingly. This is a bit unfair.”

“If this continues, wouldn’t it discourage other cultivators?”

Huang Fusong and Dong Fangyao were both clever individuals.

Upon hearing Chief Lu’s words, they were startled, but they dared not reply.

All they could do was listen to her continue speaking: “If I didn’t know, then it would be fine. But now that I’ve seen it myself, I definitely can’t ignore it.”

“However, since this is meddling in someone else’s affairs, it may lead to misunderstandings and rumors, which could be troublesome.”

“At this critical juncture, we, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, should be more united.”

“Do you two have any good ideas?”

The two of them recalled some rumors they had occasionally heard in the past and understood Chief Lu’s intent after a brief thought.

However, they felt helpless being ensnared in this high-level power struggle.

They both felt unspoken pressure as Lu Qixian’s gaze darted continuously between them.

A leader’s question cannot be met with silence.

With cold sweat on their foreheads and at this critical point, Huang Fusong recalled his previous conversation with Li Fan.

Summoning his courage, he said, “Respectfully informing Chief Lu, I have had several long talks with Li Fan before. Despite his waning lifespan, he still wishes to contribute until his last breath.”

“Our Alliance of Thousands of Immortals never forgets those who contribute. However, he’s been working so hard and his rank is still only in the forties. If we were to give him special treatment, those ranked higher could potentially voice their discontentment.”

“If his rank were a bit higher, his recognition would be more justifiable.”

Huang Fusong paused for a moment before continuing, “He once told me privately that he had no regrets even if he were to die. His only regret was not being able to explore all the miraculous secret realms of our Alliance…”

Suddenly he came up with such a random comment.

However, Lu Qixian and Dong Fangyao, who were familiar with the rules of the Grand Competition points system, immediately understood the hidden meaning behind these words.

“That’s indeed a good solution.” Lu Qixian nodded slightly in approval of Huang Fusong’s suggestion.

Huang Fusong breathed a sigh of relief.

No sooner had he relaxed when he heard Chief Lu asking again.

“Do you have a recommended location?”

Huang Fusong’s heart immediately hung in the balance.

In an instant, recalling Li Fan’s words, Huang Fusong had no choice but to grit his teeth and propose, “Secret realms like the Five Elements Great Cave Heaven and the Endless Sea would be an excellent choice in my humble opinion.
