Chapter 877: The Immortal Ancestor Suppresses Nine Mountains

This stone was quite similar to the tool Zhou Qingang had previously used to communicate with his superiors.

Li Fan pondered for a moment before placing both hands over it, activating it using the secret technique of the Five Elders Association that he had memorized.

As expected, it worked. Ripples spread across the stone’s surface, and a blurred face gradually appeared.

Upon seeing the situation on Li Fan's side, the person on the other end was momentarily stunned. Then, as if switching to another contact, the image shifted.

The new person glanced at Li Fan and, after a moment, let out a cold snort.

"You even know the recently changed reception secret method… It seems the Ten Thousand Worlds Alliance really has planted spies among us."

Li Fan smiled and replied, "That’s not the case. I just tried it at random—pure coincidence."

A loud bang erupted from the other end, clearly indicating dissatisfaction with Li Fan’s response.

However, they did not cut off communication. Instead, they asked, "Why have you contacted us this time?"

"Last time, we suffered a great loss because of you. You claimed there was a world-dominating weapon—the Sky-Splitting Cannon.

"We prepared an entire strategy in response, thinking we could use an unexpected approach to seize victory. But who could have guessed…"

"Hmph! Because of misleading intelligence, we made an incorrect strategic decision, resulting in a severe loss."

The face on the stone mirror suddenly expanded, making it look even more eerie in sync with the person's tone.

Li Fan narrowed his eyes but did not respond immediately.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and shook his head. "It wasn’t my intention to provide false information. The truth is, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance acted too convincingly this time—even we were deceived."

"Who would have thought that a world-dominating weapon with such immense power was merely a decoy?"

"But you didn’t fare any better, did you?"

Li Fan suddenly changed the topic. "The distinguished Five Elders Association—would you really determine a major strategic direction based on just a few words from us?"

"You must have discovered something yourselves before making your final decision."

"If even you were deceived, how could we have avoided it? We have to admit that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance played their hand well."

The face representing the Five Elders Association looked displeased.

"We initially assumed that the grand selection of Thirty-three Chosen Immortals was just a distraction, a smokescreen concealing their true killing move. Who would have thought that the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance would be so arrogant, leaving no hidden tricks at all?"

"They laid all their cards on the table…"

Frustration was evident in the voice, as if they had mustered all their strength only to swing a fist into thin air.

Li Fan seized the opportunity to ask, "What exactly happened on the Nine Mountains battlefield?"

"Your defeat was too swift. When we received the news, we had to personally confirm it on-site before we could believe it was real."

The face of the Five Elders Association darkened, and they remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Fan decided to play his trump card.

"The Headquarters of the Martial Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance—Immortal Sage Ziqiong—is actually one of yours, isn’t he?"

The face froze in shock.

Clearly, this person was not high-ranking enough to be aware of such matters.

"Go confirm it with your superiors. That person…"

"…has a problem. He cannot be fully trusted," Li Fan said with a serious expression.

The face, no longer as composed as before, hastily withdrew and disappeared.

Li Fan, on the other hand, remained calm as he waited.

Beside him, Lin Ling was quietly observing Li Fan, unable to hide her growing curiosity.

The Five Elders Association responded quickly.

Before long, another figure emerged on the smooth stone surface.

"This friend, regarding what you just said…"

"Why do you believe that Immortal Sage Ziqiong cannot be fully trusted?"

The voice belonged to a more senior individual, sounding robust and full of authority.

"If our intelligence is correct, Immortal Sage Ziqiong is actually a Obsession-Craze Cultivator. His true loyalty does not lie with your Five Elders Association, nor with the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance."

"He is only devoted to the Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor alone," Li Fan whispered.

"Sometimes, his information is accurate. But in certain situations..."

"I'm afraid truth and falsehood are intertwined, making it hard to distinguish," Li Fan said meaningfully.

Although his words were somewhat vague, the members of the Five Elders Association fell into a long silence.

"I see..." From the murmured words of one of the Five Elders, it was clear how deeply shaken he was.

After all, Immortal Sage Ziqiong was their most deeply hidden and crucial spy.

Many important pieces of intelligence had come from him.

This matter was of the utmost secrecy—originally, only a handful of people within the Five Elders Association even knew about it.

And yet, the cultivator from the Federation of All Worlds standing before them had already uncovered Ziqiong’s true identity.

Adding to that, the devastating defeat they had suffered due to inaccurate intelligence...

The implications of this revelation sent a bone-chilling shiver down the middle-aged man’s spine.

However, he was mentally strong and quickly regained his composure.

Taking a deep breath, he thanked Li Fan. "We will conduct a thorough investigation. Thank you for the warning, my friend."

Li Fan got straight to the point. "We need to know exactly what happened in Nine Mountain Prefecture at that time. Due to a misjudgment, our attention was not on the battlefield there."

"Although we gathered some information from within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, the details were too shocking. We need confirmation from you."

"Actually, in a short time, He should be able to appear more frequently... I'll send you the footage from that moment—see for yourself." The middle-aged man, seemingly eager to verify the truth of Li Fan’s claims, transmitted the data before taking his leave.

The smooth jade stone shattered on its own, rendering it useless.

Meanwhile, Li Fan viewed the scene unfolding in his mind and was struck with awe and terror.

The skies over Nine Mountains Prefecture were clear and vast, with gentle clouds drifting by.

Suddenly, a face emerged from the sky.

Wearing a tall crown, with a long beard flowing down his chest.

His expression was solemn, his eyes half-lowered.

There was a sense of compassion for all beings—yet also an undercurrent of boundless, hidden killing intent.

No cultivator of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance would be unfamiliar with this face.

For in every heavenly city across the prefecture, in every corner of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s territory,

one could find statues of this being.

He was none other than the founder of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

The creator of a new path that defied the laws of Heaven.

The Dharma-Transmitting Immortal Ancestor, who had dominated Xuanhuang for thousands of years!

As his face appeared, a hazy, translucent figure swiftly materialized in the sky.

At that moment, the Five Elders Association cultivators in Nine Mountains Prefecture sensed the anomaly and immediately gathered, preparing for battle.

But the Immortal Ancestor did not give them much time to prepare.

With his eyes closed, he had remained silent—

until suddenly, he opened them.

In an instant, an unimaginable, terrifying force descended upon Nine Mountains Prefecture.

Countless cultivators didn’t even have time to scream before they were crushed into pulp, their blood soaking the earth.

Under the sheer weight of this overwhelming force, the nine great mountain ranges trembled violently.

The mountains collapsed, their layers crumbling.

From top to bottom, they disintegrated without pause.

As long as the Immortal Ancestor kept his gaze fixed on Nine Mountains Prefecture, the catastrophic pressure did not cease.

Thus, inch by inch, the nine great mountain ranges were flattened into nothingness.
