Chapter 573 - 314: Undercover Agents Are Hard Currency

Chapter 573: Chapter 314: Undercover Agents Are Hard Currency

Jiang Man sat cross-legged and activated the Evil God’s Technique. Soon after, he appeared in the ruined temple.

The other party hadn’t contacted him for a long time. He wondered why they were suddenly reaching out to him now. Moreover, he needed to check the situation with the Immortal Dao Coordinate and figure out more ways to send the information out.

According to the Old Yellow Ox, apart from the Evil Gods, there were also people under the rule of the Immortal Sects who were dissatisfied with the great order. If these people wanted to throw the environment into chaos again, they would have to start with him. That would be the path with the lowest cost. Killing him could incite a grudge between the Ji family and the Bai family, or rather, a grudge between Meng Qiewei and the Bai Family Ancestor.

Inside the ruined temple, Jiang Man looked at the statue. He found that the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit was still hiding inside, refusing to come out.

Curious, he asked, "What’s the difference between you being outside and inside?"

"A sense of security," the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit said, sounding somewhat dejected. "When are you going to take this thing away? Its aura is starting to leak out. Sooner or later, it will be locked onto, and I’ll be dead meat."

Jiang Man consoled it, "Don’t worry. I’ll become stronger in the future, and no one will come looking for you then. Once I achieve Great Success, you will be highly rewarded."

Pausing for a moment, he asked, "Has anyone tried to contact you to find the Immortal Dao Coordinate?"

"Not yet. I don’t dare to release my aura, so they don’t know I’ve awakened," the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit replied.

Jiang Man said casually, "It’s fine. You can release it now. If anyone looks for you, just do as I said."

"Ji Hao of the Wuyun Sect?" the Ling Hua Immortal Spirit questioned. "Do you have a grudge against him? He died in a matter of days."

Jiang Man didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he simply said, "Just do it."

Chen Shi arrived at that moment. He kept his head lowered, not daring to interrupt their conversation.

"Were you looking for me?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

"Yes. The person from the mysterious Evil God found me again. She said that the people from the Sun and Moon Immortal Path want to kill you, Lord Envoy," Chen Shi replied.

"She is quite well-informed," Jiang Man commented indifferently. He had already guessed as much. However, he felt she probably didn’t know why the Sun and Moon Immortal Path wanted to kill him.

Seeing that the Lord Envoy’s expression hadn’t changed, Chen Shi felt relieved. He quickly added, "She said that you probably have no countermeasures against this, Lord Envoy."

Jiang Man nodded. That was indeed true. He really had no way to deal with them right now.

"She said she could offer her assistance," Chen Shi said.

Jiang Man was slightly surprised. "What kind of assistance can she offer?"

To find the other party? What use would that be? He couldn’t defeat them anyway. Even if he knew where they were, he would have no way to cope. He still needed time.

Chen Shi didn’t waste any words and directly stated the other party’s proposed trade.

Jiang Man was surprised to hear it. "You’re saying she’s offering a list of undercover agents? Agents who have certain connections to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path?"

"Along with two hundred thousand Spiritual Sources," Chen Shi said.

Jiang Man no longer cared about the two hundred thousand Spiritual Sources; what he cared about was how many people were on that list. If he had this earlier, why would he have bothered with those flatbreads? Undercover agents were the true bargaining chips between them.

"What are her conditions?" Jiang Man asked.

"She wants to meet you, Lord Envoy. Only then will she state what she wants," Chen Shi replied.

"Arrange it immediately. I’ll go see her right now," Jiang Man said impatiently. She should have mentioned these bargaining chips earlier. There was no need to delay meeting and proposing a trade until now.

Meanwhile, Tantai Xue was stunned when she received the news. The other party had agreed to meet, and immediately at that.

"Why? Does the prospect of revenge make him this excited?" Tantai Xue said in confusion. "Doesn’t he like Spiritual Sources? Why the sudden change?

"It seems the pressure from the Sun and Moon Immortal Path is simply too great for him.

"He spoke with such confidence and arrogance during his lecture, yet he’s actually this wary of the Sun and Moon Immortal Path."

Tantai Xiaotian chimed in, "Don’t jump to conclusions. You can go meet him first and see if he’s trying to find other undercover agents."

Tantai Xue nodded. That was indeed a possibility. Afterward, she activated her special item and entered that dreamscape.

Jiang Man, meanwhile, had left the ruined temple. He circulated the first volume of the Evil God’s Technique. There was no light on his body, yet he gave off a dazzling sensation. It was completely different from Zui Fusheng. Zui Fusheng wore a gentle cloak of feathers; his light was soft but possessed extremely strong penetrative power.

Soon, Jiang Man appeared amidst the ruins.

Seeing him arrive, Tantai Xue still felt a sense of weirdness. She couldn’t see through the person standing before her.

"Lord Envoy, long time no see," Tantai Xue said, sitting on a high chair amidst the ruins.

Jiang Man stood amidst the rubble, looking at her. "What do you want?" ℴ

Tantai Xue calmly replied, "I want information, though I don’t know if you can provide it, Lord Envoy."

Jiang Man remained where he stood, not saying a word. Instead, he let her continue.

"Zui Fusheng—do you know him?" Tantai Xue asked.

Jiang Man fell silent for a moment before answering, "I’ve heard of him."

He didn’t quite understand why the other party was looking for Zui Fusheng. However, he was indeed capable of knowing. Because he had been in the Black Spirit Abyss at that time, and everyone there knew of Zui Fusheng. He had no reason not to know.

"He appeared in the Black Spirit Abyss. Do you know why he showed up in that place?" Tantai Xue asked. This was something she was genuinely curious about. At the same time, she wanted to test how extensive Jiang Man’s information sources were, and how much better they were compared to her own.

"Is that it?" Jiang Man asked.

"’Is that it?’" Tantai Xue echoed with a smile. "Does this mean the Lord Envoy knows his objective?"

Jiang Man looked at her, already knowing exactly how to answer. This was the perfect opportunity to mislead her and clear himself of any suspicion.

"Do you know the objective of the Sun and Moon Immortal Path?" Jiang Man asked in return.

"What do you think?" Tantai Xue replied.

"Two layers," Jiang Man said. "The first layer is probably what you already know. As for the second layer, that is exactly why Zui Fusheng went to that place."
