The value of the items listed in the jade slips far exceeded Wang Qiupo's imagination.
As a young spy who left home, some of them he had never even heard of.
At this moment, Wang Qiupo already believed Xu Bai's words.
After pondering for a moment, he motioned Xu Bai to wait here.
Then he quietly lay back on the wicker chair behind him, seemingly closing his eyes and falling asleep.
From Xu Bai's perspective, Wang Qiupo's vitality was dissipating at an alarming speed.
But in an instant, he seemed to have died, just like a corpse.
"As expected of a spy who has been hiding for eight hundred years without being exposed, he does have some skills." Xu Bai stared at it for a long time and thought to himself.
The thatched cottage where Wang Qiupo lived seemed to have something magical about it. The disappearance of Wang Qiupo's vitality did not attract the attention of outsiders. They were still lining up outside, waiting hard.
After a cup of tea, a breeze seemed to blow in the room.
Then, like a dead tree blooming with spring, Wang Qiupo regained his vitality.
However, Xu Bai was keenly aware that this old man, who had lived for eight hundred years, seemed to be one step closer to death.
After coughing slightly, Wang Qiupo stood up again and came to Xu Bai.
"I have confirmed with the organization that what you said young man is true."
"The previous transactions with us can indeed prove the credibility of your Futian Society. However..."
Wang Qiupo stared at Xu Bai with his old eyes: "How can you prove that you are a member of the Futian Society?"
"Rather than after the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance discovered my true identity, they wanted to follow the clues and strike back?"
“What was the content of our first two transactions?”
Faced with Wang Qiupo's questions one after another, Xu Bai was not surprised. He smiled lightly and gave the answer.
"The first time was about the entrance exam of the Immortal Alliance. The second time was about the true identity of the ancient monk that the Immortal Alliance was looking for..."
When Wang Qiupo heard these two words, his straightened body instantly stooped down again.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The organization has indeed observed traces of the reversal of the principles of heaven and earth. However, it has not yet locked in the true identity of this Heavenly Lord..."
"The organization agreed to this transaction."
"However, if it involves the Immortal Lord, if a contract is signed, he may be vaguely sensed. Therefore, this transaction can only be agreed verbally and relies on the credibility of both parties."
Xu Bai's eyes flashed slightly.
Then he shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter. There will be many opportunities for our two countries to cooperate in the future. I believe you will not break your promise."
"In that case, I will tell you about this first."
Xu Bai looked solemn and whispered: "What this Heavenly Lord has reversed is exactly the [principle of death and life]."
"Not long ago, we discovered some monks in the Yuan-devouring White Mist who seemed to be alive but not dead. They were like living dead."
"Thinking back to the traces of the reversal of the principles of heaven and earth observed not long ago, after some investigation, we finally confirmed this matter."
"As for the true identity of this Heavenly Lord, we currently have no clue."
"However, there are some questionable targets."
After that, Xu Bai used his hand as a pen and wrote the names "Lan Yu" and "Heavenly Doctor" in the air.
Wang Qiupo narrowed his eyes and kept it in his heart.
Seeing that he was about to lie back on the wicker chair, Xu Bai suddenly asked the previous question: "Does the old gentleman want to return to his hometown?"
"If you take the information I've told you as evidence, negotiate terms with the Five Elders Association."
"I think they will agree."
Wang Qiupo's eyes first ignited a glimmer of hope, and then quickly extinguished.
He finally shook his head and said calmly: "The fate of spies like us is that our bodies and souls will all rot in a foreign land."
"As for my hometown..."
"I've already forgotten what it looks like."
With a low voice, Wang Qiupo slept on a wicker chair, his vitality slowly disappearing again.
"The items on the list will be given to you as promised."
"Let's go. This time, I won't wake up again."
He said this before the vitality completely disappeared.
Xu Bai nodded: "In that case, how about I lend you your life?"
Wang Qiupo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something.
Using the last bit of strength, he nodded slowly.
Before his vitality completely disappeared, Xu Bai struck out with a palm.
Wang Qiupo's body was instantly gone.
At the same time, Xu Bai shouted angrily: "It turns out to be Xiao Xiao from the Wu Laohui, seeking death!"
With the death of Wang Qiupo, the restrictions imposed on the thatched cottage also disappeared. Xu Bai's voice was also able to be heard outside.
Coupled with the falling vision generated in the sky, the group of monks outside immediately understood what had happened.
This very good-looking young man actually killed the famous Wang Qiupo of Tianliang Prefecture!
There was an uproar.
Angry, shocked, surprised...
Many emotions burst out in their hearts.
"Get him!"
The monks were filled with indignation and surrounded Xu Bai as he slowly walked out of the house.
Xu Bai looked very calm. Facing the people who were about to take action, he angrily shouted: "You are also going to become the accomplice of the Five Elders Society spies!"
When the monks present heard this, their bodies all froze.
Although I had vaguely heard about Wu Lao Hui Xiao Xiao just now, I didn't connect it with Wang Qiupo.
After all, this old man's reputation is too loud. It can be said that almost everyone in Tianliangzhou knows about him.
But the young man in front of me didn't seem to be able to talk nonsense.
"What the hell is going on?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but they were frightened to the spot by Xu Bai's words.
"Hurry up and report it to your Excellency!" After a while, someone finally responded.
"You can't leave until the city lord comes!" They stopped Xu Bai.
"It doesn't matter. It's best to call all the people from the martial arts hall and the garrison. After checking, you will know that what I said is true." Xu Bai did not resist, but said very calmly.
When everyone saw this, they felt even more guilty.
"If what this person said is true, and Wang Qiupo is really a spy of the Five Elders..."
"The sky is falling."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking of the countless monks he recommended over the years, everyone swallowed their saliva and felt a sudden chill in their hearts.
Everyone didn't wait long before a ray of orange light flew from the sky.
It happened to be the Lord of Tianliang City, Xiang Rongxin.
After scanning the surrounding area, he fixed his gaze on Xu Bai.
He didn't even say a word, didn't even ask, he was condescending and turned into a giant palm.
Xu Bai must be killed on the spot!
"This is to kill people and silence them!"
When the monks present saw this, they were all shocked, but no one dared to stop him.
Just when they thought this very good-looking monk was about to die tragically.
But I saw him take out the folding fan with a calm expression, and unfolded it with a "swish" sound.
Before the giant palm hit his body, an invisible ripple appeared, neutralizing the killing move.
"Um?"
A look of astonishment appeared on Xiang Rongxin's face.
Looking at Xu Bai's seemingly mocking gaze, a sinister look flashed in his eyes.
He was about to use all his strength and vowed to kill him.
But suddenly I heard a lazy voice coming from the horizon.
"Wait a minute, City Lord!"
"I heard that someone here reported that the Wu Laohui spies were killed. Is this true?"
Before he finished speaking, a monk in black clothes appeared on the scene.
Xiang Rongxin's face instantly darkened.
Because the person who came was none other than the commander of the Tianliang Prefecture Garrison, Nangong Shirong.
With him here, it is impossible to suppress the matter.
Now there's trouble.
Looking at the fallen image above his head that had not yet dissipated, Xiang Rongxin sighed slightly in his heart.
"Wang Qiupo, Wang Qiupo, you have left me with a difficult problem."
After hearing the news from his subordinates, Xiang Rongxin immediately made a judgment. No matter whether "Wang Qiupo is a spy of the Wu Lao Hui" was true or not.
He must make this matter fake.
otherwise……
Looking at the smile on Nangong Shirong's face, Xiang Rongxin seemed to have seen the bloody storm that was about to start in Tianling Province and even the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"My little friend, please come with me." Nangong Shirong said to Xu Bai in a kind tone.
"That's what I meant." Xu Bai cupped his hands without any fear on his face.
What happened next progressed very quickly.
Xu Bai insisted that based on some clues, he discovered that Wang Qiupo might be a spy.
With the purpose of punishing traitors and eradicating evil for the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he personally came to the door to test a few things.
Unexpectedly, this guy actually openly admitted his true identity and even tried to attack Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was forced to fight back and killed him.
The thing is very simple.
Nangong Shirong did not seem to delve into the authenticity of Xu Baihua, but directly ordered his subordinates to start investigating Wang Qiupilai.
Even if he is not a spy, he cannot withstand the detailed investigation of the garrison.
Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.
What's more, Wang Qiupo was indeed a spy of the Wu Laohui.
It didn't take long for Nangong Shirong to have a lot of conclusive "evidence" in his hands.
"Hahahaha, my little friend has made great contributions to our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance this time!" Nangong Shirong patted Xu Bai's shoulder hard, with a very happy expression on his face.
"Until the dust settles, you stay here and don't go out. To prevent some people from maliciously retaliating. Don't worry, when everything is found out, there will be no less rewards!"
Xu Bai looked solemn and said: "It is our mission to clean up the evil spirits in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance."
Seeing that Xu Bai's consciousness was so high, Nangong Shirong was very satisfied.
He patted Xu Bai's shoulder again to show encouragement. Nangong Shirong hurried away.
The matter was concluded faster than Xu Bai expected.
Because the Wu Laohui has also exerted force.
Faced with the questioning and accusations from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Wu Lao Hui claimed that there was no such thing. Wang Qiupo had no relationship with the Wu Lao Hui at all.
The Five Elders Association will always uphold the principle of peaceful coexistence between the two parties and will never take the initiative to undermine the relationship between the two parties.
I hope that the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will not act on their own and make unreasonable troubles.
…
The more you deny it, the deeper your suspicion becomes.
Although there are various signs that this may be a plan to alienate the spy Wang Qiupo before his death.
but……
It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go.
Within just ten days, those monks who had been promoted to high positions because of Wang Qiupo's recommendation were all isolated and investigated one after another.
Even some who were exploring in the white mist were forcibly shouted back.
The final result is also obvious.
A small number of those who were really found to have problems were taken down directly.
Although most of them had no evidence to prove that they had any problems, they were never reused. They were assigned to Qingshui posts, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would spend the rest of their lives here forever.
Just as the entire Immortal Alliance was in turmoil.
A monk from the garrison who he took the opportunity to fill because a number of monks were transferred from their original posts and a large number of positions were vacant came to Li Fan.
"This is the agreed upon material."
"The organization is very satisfied with this transaction."
