My Simulated Road to Immortality - Chapter 747 - Chapter 747: Chapter 710: Eight Hundred Years Poison Nail

Chapter 747: Chapter 710: Eight Hundred Years Poison Nail

After Xu Bai spoke those words, the furious aura brewing in Wang Qiu Po’s body suddenly subsided.

His somewhat turbid eyes were locked onto the remarkably good-looking cultivator before him as he pondered over the three words “Overturning Heaven Society.”

Wang Qiu Po, of course, recognized this name.

Previously, he had received a secret order from the Five Elders Organization to clandestinely investigate this organization. He expended a great deal of resources, but in the end, he discovered nothing. Even the name itself was unheard of.

It reached a point where Wang Qiu Po began to suspect that the name of the target had been miscommunicated by his organization.

This matter soon fell by the wayside.

Until today, when this young cultivator, claiming to be a member of the Overturning Heaven Society, suddenly appeared before him.

“Not only is he aware of my spy identity, but he also knows in detail about my health condition…”

“It appears there must be a traitor in the organization.”

As one of the most outstanding spies in the Five Elders Organization’s current roster, such was Wang Qiu Po’s immediate conjecture.

After all, news of his impending death was only recently relayed. His intention was for the organization to coincide his death with a meticulous subversion plan.

Wang Qiu Po had been in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals for nearly eight hundred years, doing nothing noteworthy in the first half of his life.

In the remaining four hundred years, after the cultivators he knew in his youth started to rise to power, he came upon the most glorious phase in his espionage career.

Throughout these years, the number of young cultivators who joined the Alliance through his recommendation was in the tens of thousands!

Of course, this was partially due to his old friends agreeing to help because of past favours.

But more so…

Was because these people were indeed young talents who were rarely seen!

This was the very reason why outsiders would perceive him as exceedingly eccentric.

Unless they were prodigies, he would never recommend them!

As a top-notch spy, Wang Qiu Po was well aware that infiltrating enemy ranks would yield short-term benefits. But every spy’s cover would eventually be blown. When that time comes, all the spy members he had painstakingly nurtured over the years would be caught in one fell swoop. To rise to a high position within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, it would require the test of time. These young spies couldn’t wait that long. Even if some were particularly fortunate and could rise quickly, whether or not they could obtain important intelligence was uncertain. Consequently, their effect on the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals would be minimal.

What Wang Qiu Po intended to do was to expose his own spy identity before his death. Only then would he be able to deliver a severe blow to the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals!

Imagine the commotion caused when news of Wang Qiu Po being a spy for Five Elder’s Organization leaks out.

And those cultivators he has been recommending over the years will also inevitably be suspected!

Even if they manage to prove their innocence after an investigation…

But…

Would the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals dare to continue utilizing these individuals? Who could guarantee that these people had not used mysterious techniques to pass the tests?

Under such apprehension, these once promising cultivators who could anchor various departments in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, would most certainly end up relegated to insignificant posts, regardless of whether they survive or not.

The wise depart, and the empty practitioner slots would naturally be filled by mediocre individuals.

This was the “Poisonous Nail” plan that Wang Qiu Po had been plotting for eight hundred years.

Although it involved just a tiny nail, it could incapacitate a chunk of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals’ elite.

That was the utmost Wang Qiu Po, who was only in the Golden Core Realm, thought he could accomplish.

The Poisonous Nail plan, which was initially flawless, was about to enter its final stage.

Shockingly though, an unexpected twist happened.

“Young man, what exactly are you trying to say? Just say it,” Wang Qiu Po subtly probed without changing his expression.

Xu Bai smiled and forthrightly said: “You are a spy deployed by Five Elders Organization, aren’t you?”

Wang Qiu Po squinted his eyes and frankly admitted: “That’s right!”

Xu Bai found his straightforwardness somewhat unexpected.

However, it didn’t change anything.

“There’s no need to be nervous, old sir. If you’re familiar with us, the Overturning Heaven Society, you should know that we’re actually on the same side.”

“We would gladly see the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals plunge into further chaos. There’s no way we would expose you,” Xu Bai reassured him with a smile.

Just as Wang Qiu Po was contemplating, Xu Bai suddenly turned serious and said: “Actually, the reason for my visit is to conduct a trade with you.”

“Moreover, it is related to a very important matter. Considering the risk of regular spies leaking information, I decided to find you directly.”

Seeing Xu Bai saying it so earnestly, Wang Qiu Po’s expression became somewhat solemn.

However, being someone who had lived for eight hundred years, he certainly wouldn’t easily believe Xu Bai’s words.

He merely stayed quiet, waiting to see what Xu Bai was up to.

Shockingly, Xu Bai’s following words left him stunned, almost crushing the Bamboo Cane in his hand.

“Are you aware that a new Immortal Sovereign is about to rise in the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals?” Xu Bai said.

“What did you say?” Even with his deep composure, Wang Qiu Po couldn’t help changing his color upon hearing such shocking news.

“It seems you’re not aware of this yet? That’s strange…” Xu Bai frowned.

Wang Qiu Po took a deep breath, seemingly trying to discern the truth in Xu Bai’s words.

However, Xu Bai didn’t give him a chance to think and continued tossing out more bombshells.

“We have already figured out the peculiar principle behind how this Sovereign reversed his cause. It’s rather strange.”

“Previously, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals only had one Celestial Dharma Bearer, and you Five Elders were evenly matched with them. Now, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has one more Sovereign…”

“You must prepare in advance.”

“At present, this Sovereign hasn’t officially committed to the path of Immortality yet and can still partake in worldly strife. You might get caught off guard…”

Wang Qiu Po’s head immediately swatted like buzzing hive.

Even though he considered himself a successful spy of the Five Elders’ Organization, when it came to someone at the level of an Immortal Sovereign, his knowledge was limited.

He was somewhat confused about these terms like reversal and determinacy.

However, if what this cultivator from the Overturning Sky Alliance said was true…

Then he must report this to his organization as soon as possible.

Wang Qiu Po looked at Xu Bai again.

Grasping his intentions, Xu Bai handed him a piece of jade.

“As I mentioned earlier, I am here for a trade. Specific information about this Sovereign can be revealed to you. However, you will need to pay with these items.”

“The importance level of the information from previous trades is nothing compared to this time. We didn’t raise the price, showing our sincerity. After all, we are counting on you to take the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals down with you.”

A strange smile crossed Xu Bai’s face and he made a ‘please’ gesture with his hand.

Wang Qiu Po looked at the jade for a while and his pupils sharply constricted.
