Chapter 490: The Best of Both Worlds
The ground was shaking more and more violently, and it was almost impossible to stand steadily.
I watched the huge Wanxian Island rise from the ground and slowly fly into the sky.
Some monks tried to fight desperately and break out of the encirclement from the outside world.
But they all ended up with the same outcome.
As long as you leave Wanxian Island, you will be pierced and killed by the light falling from the sky.
There were constant cries of surprise and wails from the monks.
The surrounding space seemed to be completely blocked. Even the strange images of the falling monks in the sky appeared strangely distorted, with layers of things stacked up and crowded together.
The fierce attack of the Five Elders caused the monks who were running around like headless flies to calm down temporarily.
Because they found that as long as they stayed on Wanxian Island, the Five Elders Association seemed to have no intention of attacking for the time being.
So they could only shiver and look up at the purple door that was getting closer and closer to them.
"The Five Elders have made such a big fuss, could it be that they are coming for me?" Li Fan, who witnessed this scene, recalled the previous incident where several Nascent Soul cultivators came to arrest him, and this thought emerged in his mind.
"The territory over there is not so easy to deal with. If we are caught, we will be in the [Land of Reality] and we will not be able to lie. Once others ask about it, won't the whole matter of time travel and truth be exposed directly?"
Li Fan still has a clear understanding of his current strength, and should not be able to stop the principles of Heavenly Venerate.
"Should I really..." A hint of hesitation flashed through Li Fan's mind.
After thinking for a moment, Li Fan decided to wait and see the situation for the time being.
After all, the situation has not yet deteriorated to the point where his life is in danger.
The originally horizontal boundary between the water and the sky in the distance has now disappeared from sight.
The entire Wanxian Island was flying in the air, and the faces of the Five Elders Association monks in the sky were clearly visible.
At this moment, there was suddenly a commotion on the island again.
For some unknown reason, a large number of monks appeared out of nowhere.
There were so many monks in this group that they were all crowded together in an instant. For a moment, even Wanxian Island seemed unable to accommodate them.
There were bursts of noise coming from among them.
"What's going on? Where is this?"
"I remember I was in seclusion in the Tianxuan Mirror. How come I suddenly appeared here?"
"Look! The Mysterious Mirror has turned into a stone!"
Listening to their screams, Jiao Xiuyuan muttered to himself, "It's bad. Even the Tianxuan Mirror has taken back its [Empowerment]. It looks like we can't count on this reinforcement."
Li Fan then realized that these people were actually monks who were practicing in seclusion in the Tianxuan Mirror space on Wanxian Island.
At this time, Wanxian Island was about to be captured by the Five Elders Association. For the sake of its own safety, Tianxuan Mirror cancelled the so-called [empowerment].
The mirror on the island that had infinite uses was turned into an ordinary stone.
Those monks who woke up from seclusion looked at the enemies everywhere and finally realized their current situation.
"My fellow Taoists, I've heard that the Five Elders have something called the Soul Contract. Once signed, your soul will be completely controlled by them. If you lose your freedom, you'll probably be living a life worse than death!"
"Yes, they definitely want to capture us alive and force us to sign a soul contract!"
"Instead of being controlled by others, we might as well fight to the death. With so many of us, there might still be a chance of survival!"
After the shock, someone soon raised his arms and shouted, calling on everyone to break through the blockade of the Five Elders Association.
There is strength in numbers.
With so many new recruits coming out of nowhere, the monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on the island became bolder.
Soon, led by one or two monks, they launched a death charge.
Li Fan did not follow blindly. He looked at Jiao Xiuyuan, whose eyes were rolling around, pulled his clothes, and asked in a voice transmission, "Fellow Daoist Jiao, is there any way to escape?"
Jiao Xiuyuan chuckled, stretched out his hand and made the number "five".
"No problem! It's just 50,000 contribution points. I'll transfer it to you right away!" Li Fan nodded.
Jiao Xiuyuan's face darkened: "Is the life of Master Li Fan worth only this much money?"
"Five hundred thousand contribution points! This is because of our life-long friendship!"
Li Fan looked at Jiao Xiuyuan and smiled slightly.
Without bargaining with him, he traded half a million on the spot.
"Brother, I am not blinded by money. Let's be clear about one thing and even brothers should settle accounts clearly." Jiao Xiuyuan explained himself.
Then he whispered, "At present, the only possible way to escape from this Wanxian Island is through the ancient tree in Qingfeng Hall."
"Qingfengtang..." Li Fan's eyes flickered.
In the 113th life, he had come into contact with Qingfengtang, a money lending organization hidden on Wanxian Island, through He Zhenghao.
The ancient tree with a human face inside left a deep impression on him.
The place where the ancient tree is located seems to be a space of its own.
Moreover, it can collect a large amount of Lingwu Grass in an instant. Obviously, like the Tianxuan Mirror, it is connected to other spaces in the outside world.
"Thank you, Brother Jiao, for your guidance!"
Li Fan bowed and was about to leave.
Suddenly he remembered something and turned back not long after.
Li Fan stared at Jiao Xiuyuan carefully, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Fellow Daoist Li Fan, why are you looking at me instead of running away?" Jiao Xiuyuan was a little puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Jiao, I don't know whether you want to sell this body or not." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
Jiao Xiuyuan was startled and immediately dodged, putting some distance between himself and Li Fan.
"You..." Jiao Xiuyuan looked at Li Fan with disbelief, as if he recognized his true face for the first time.
Without paying attention to Jiao Xiuyuan's messy thoughts, Li Fan said to himself: "Since I woke up, I have been staying in the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
"Now, I have a simple understanding of the Immortal Alliance as a whole. But as for the Five Elders Council that can compete with the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I have never had the chance to see it."
"And the information about that place in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is pitifully small. I am very curious about the Five Elders Association."
Li Fan looked up and down at Jiao Xiuyuan's puppet body.
"Of course I want to escape. But I also want to take this opportunity to see the scenery on the other side."
"I don't know, friend, is there any magic method that can allow me to temporarily control this puppet of yours?"
Li Fan asked slowly.
Only then did Jiao Xiuyuan realize Li Fan's intention.
He thought for a moment and muttered softly, "You should have said it earlier. You scared me."
“As long as the price is right, it’s okay.”
When Li Fan heard this, he was immediately delighted.
"Okay! Daoist friend, please name a price!"
Jiao Xiuyuan made the number "five" again, and without giving Li Fan a chance to misinterpret, he said, "This is the first time I've been possessed by someone!"
"Five hundred thousand contribution points, no less!"
"Five hundred thousand, that's five hundred thousand. I, Li Fan, am not a stingy person."
