Chapter 711 Wang Po’s death and rebellion
The value of the items listed in the jade slip far exceeded Wang Qiupo's imagination.
As a spy who left home at a young age, some of them he had never even heard of.
At this moment, Wang Qiupo had already believed Xu Bai's words.
After a moment of silence, he motioned Xu Bai to wait here.
Then he quietly lay back on the rattan chair behind him, as if he closed his eyes and fell 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 of old age, just like a corpse.
"As expected of a spy who has been hiding for eight hundred years without being exposed, he really has some tricks." Xu Bai stared at him for a long time and thought to himself.
And the thatched cottage where Wang Qiupo lived seemed to have some magical features. The disappearance of Wang Qiupo's vitality did not attract the attention of people outside. They were still queuing outside and waiting hard.
After a cup of tea, a breeze seemed to blow in the house.
Then, like a dead tree coming back to life, Wang Qiupo regained his vitality.
However, Xu Bai keenly noticed that this old man who had lived for 800 years seemed to be one step closer to death.
After coughing lightly, Wang Qiupo stood up again and came to Xu Bai.
"I have confirmed it with the organization, young man, what you said is true."
"The previous transactions with us can indeed prove the credibility of your Futian Society. But..."
Wang Qiupo's old eyes stared at Xu Bai: "How can you prove that you are a member of the Futian Society?"
"Rather than the Wanxian League discovering my true identity and wanting to follow the clues and fight back?"
"What was the content of our transactions in the first two times?"
Faced with Wang Qiupo's continuous questions, Xu Bai was not surprised. He smiled lightly and gave the answer.
"The first time was the Immortal League's entrance examination question. The second time was the true identity of the ancient cultivator that the Immortal League was looking for..."
When Wang Qiupo heard these two sentences, his straight body instantly hunched down again.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "The organization has indeed observed signs that the principles of heaven and earth are reversing. However, they have not yet locked down the true identity of this Heavenly Venerable..."
"The organization agreed to this transaction."
"However, if a contract is signed involving the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, he may vaguely sense it. Therefore, this transaction can only be agreed upon verbally and based on the credibility of both parties."
Xu Bai's eyes flickered slightly.
Then he shook his head and smiled, "It doesn't matter. There are still many opportunities for our two families to cooperate in the future. I believe you will not break your promise."
"In this case, I will tell you about this first."
Xu Bai's expression became serious, and he whispered, "What this Heavenly Venerable reversed was the [Principle of Life and Death]."
"Not long ago, we found some cultivators who seemed to be alive but not alive, and actually dead but not dead in the Yuan Shi Bai Mist. They were like living dead."
"Thinking of 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 Venerable, we have no clue at present."
"However, there are some targets worthy of suspicion."
After saying that, Xu Bai used his hand as a pen and wrote the two names "Lan Yu" and "Tian Yi" in the air.
Wang Qiupo narrowed his eyes and remembered it firmly in his heart.
Seeing that he was about to lie back on the rattan chair, Xu Bai suddenly asked the previous question again: "Do you want to return to your hometown, old man?"
"If you use the information I told you as a basis, negotiate with the Five Elders."
"I think they should agree."
Wang Qiupo's eyes first lit up with a glimmer of hope, and then quickly extinguished.
He finally shook his head and said indifferently: "The fate of spies like me is that our bodies and souls will all rot in a foreign land."
"As for my hometown..."
"I have long forgotten what it looks like."
With a low voice, Wang Qiupo slept on the rattan chair, and his vitality slowly dissipated again.
"The things on the list will be given to you as promised."
"You go, this time, I will not wake up again."
He said this before his vitality completely disappeared.
Xu Bai nodded: "In this case, how about lending you your life?"
Wang Qiupo was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something.
Using the last bit of strength, he nodded slowly.
Before his life force completely disappeared, Xu Bai slapped out with one palm.
Wang Qiupo's body was instantly wiped out.
At the same time, Xu Bai shouted angrily: "It turned out to be a villain from the Five Elders, looking for 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.
With the strange phenomenon of falling in the sky, a group of monks outside immediately understood what happened.
This very good-looking young man actually killed Wang Qiupo, who was famous in Tianliangzhou!
There was an uproar immediately.
Anger, shock, surprise...
Many emotions burst out in their hearts.
"Take him down!"
The monks said indignantly, and surrounded Xu Bai who walked out of the house slowly.
Xu Bai's face was very calm. Facing the people who were about to take action, he turned around and angrily scolded: "You are also going to become accomplices of the Five Elders' spies!"
The monks present all froze when they heard this.
Although they had vaguely heard about the villains of the Five Elders just now, they did not connect it with Wang Qiupo.
After all, this old man's reputation was too great. Almost everyone in Tianliang Prefecture knew him.
But the young man in front of him didn't look like he was going to talk nonsense.
"What's 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 reacted.
"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.
Seeing this, everyone felt even more guilty.
"If what this person said is true, and Wang Qiupo is really a spy of the Five Elders Society..."
"The sky is falling."
Thinking of the countless monks he had 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 surroundings, he locked 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!"
The monks present were all shocked when they saw this, but no one dared to stop him.
Just when they thought this very good-looking monk was about to die tragically.
But he 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 vicious 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 Five Elders' spy was killed. Is this true?"
Before he finished speaking, a monk in black 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 would be 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. Regardless of whether "Wang Qiupo is a spy of the Wu Lao Hui" is 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 with no 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 admitted his true identity openly and tried to attack Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was forced to fight back and killed him.
Things are simple.
Nangong Shirong did not seem to delve into the authenticity of Xu Baihua, but directly ordered his subordinates to start investigating Wang Qiupolai.
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 is 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 encourage him. Nangong Shirong left in a hurry.
The matter was concluded faster than Xu Bai expected.
Because the Wu Laohui has also exerted its strength.
Faced with the questioning and accusations from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Five Elders Association claimed that there was absolutely no such thing. Wang Qiupo has no relationship with the Wu Laohui 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 denial, the deeper the suspicion.
Although there are various signs that this may be a divorce plan made by 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 had been isolated and investigated one after another.
Even some who were exploring in the white mist were forcibly shouted back.
The end result is also obvious.
A small number of those who were really found to have problems were taken down directly.
Although most of them have no evidence that they have problems, they have never been reused. He was assigned to the Qingshui post. If nothing unexpected happened, he would spend the rest of his life here forever.
Just as the entire Immortal Alliance was in turmoil.
A monk from the garrison who he took the opportunity to fill because several 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 pleased with this transaction."
“Looking forward to our next cooperation.”
