The End of the Immortal Path

Chapter 316 Undercover Agents are Hard Currency
Jiang Man sat down cross-legged, invoked the magic of the evil god, and then appeared in the dilapidated temple.

The other person hadn't contacted me for a long time, so I wondered what it was about.

In addition, we also need to check what the situation is regarding the Immortal Path Coordinates.

And to find more ways to get the message out.

According to the old ox, besides evil gods, there are also people dissatisfied with the rule of the immortal sects.

If these people want to further disrupt the environment, we need to start with him.

This is the least costly approach.

Killing oneself could incite a feud between the Ji and Bai families.

Or perhaps it's a feud between Meng Qiewei and the Bai family patriarch.

Inside the dilapidated temple, Jiang Man looked at the statue and discovered that Linghua Xianling was hiding inside, still not coming out.

He asked curiously, "What's the difference between being outside and inside?"

“I feel safe.” Linghua Xianling said somewhat dejectedly, “When are you going to take this thing away? Its aura is starting to spread outwards, and it will be locked on sooner or later. I’m doomed then.”

Jiang Man comforted him, "It's alright. I'll become stronger in the future, and no one will bother you then. When I reach my full potential, you'll be a hero."

After a pause, Jiang Man asked, "Has anyone tried to contact you to find the coordinates of the Immortal Path?"

"Not yet. I dare not release my aura, so they don't know I've awakened," Linghua Xianling said.

Jiang Man casually said, "It's okay, you can distribute them now. If someone contacts you, just do as I say."

"Ji Hao of the Misty Cloud Sect?" Linghua Xianling questioned, "Do you have a grudge against him? He died in just a few days."

Jiang Man didn't explain, but said, "Just do it this way."

Chen Shi had already arrived by then.

He kept his head down, not daring to interrupt their conversation.

"You were looking for me?" Jiang Man asked curiously.

“Yes, the people from the Mysterious Evil God have found me again. They say the people from the Sun and Moon Immortal Path want to kill the Envoy,” Chen Shi said.

"She's quite well-informed," Jiang Man said casually.

He could have guessed that.

However, he felt that the other party probably didn't know why the Sun and Moon Immortal Path wanted to kill him.

Seeing that the envoy's expression did not change, Chen Shi was relieved and then said, "She said that the envoy should not have any countermeasures against this."

Jiang Man nodded.

That's true.

There's really nothing we can do about them.

“She said she could offer help,” Chen Shi said.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "What solutions can you offer?"

Have you found the other person?

What's the point?

I can't beat them myself, and I know where there's no way to deal with them.

He needs more time.

Chen Shi didn't waste any words and instead explained the other party's deal.

Jiang Man was somewhat surprised: "You mean she gave me a list of undercover agents? And undercover agents who are related to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path?"

“There are still 200,000 spirit resources left,” Chen Shi said.

Jiang Man no longer cared about the 200,000 spiritual resources; what he cared about was how many people were on the undercover list.

If this had been available long ago, why would I need to buy sesame seed cakes?

Undercover agents are the real currency between them.

"What are her conditions?" Jiang Man asked.

“She wants to see the envoy before she can tell him what she wants,” Chen Shi said.

"Arrange it immediately, I'll go see her right away," Jiang Man said impatiently.

You should have said so earlier if you had this hard currency.

Why wait until now to meet and discuss the deal?

Tantai Xueren, who received the message, was stunned.

The other party agreed to meet, and immediately.

"Why is he so excited about revenge?" Tantai Xue asked, puzzled. "Didn't he like spiritual sources? Why has he suddenly changed?"

"As expected, the pressure from the Immortal Path of the Sun and Moon was too great for him."

"He spoke with such confidence and arrogance during his lectures, but I never expected him to be so wary of the Sun and Moon Immortal Path."

Tantai Xiaotian asked, "Don't rush to conclusions. You can go see him first and see if he wants to find other undercover agents."

Tantai Xue nodded, "That's a possibility."

Then she activated her special ability and entered that dream world.

Jiang Man then left the dilapidated temple.

He activated the first volume of the Evil God's Technique. Although there was no light emanating from his body, he still had a dazzling aura.

Completely different from "Drunken Life".

Drunken Life is clad in soft feather robes, their light gentle yet highly penetrating.

Soon, Jiang Man appeared in the ruins.

Even after seeing people arrive, Tantai Xue still felt something was off.

She couldn't see through the person in front of her.

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time." Tantai Xue sat on a high chair amidst the ruins.

Jiang Man stood amidst the ruins, looking at the other person, and asked, "What do you want?"

Tantai Xue calmly said, "What I need is information, but I don't know if the envoy can provide it."

Jiang Man stood still, without saying a word.

Instead, she was encouraged to continue speaking.

"Do you know Zui Fusheng?" Tantai Xue asked.

Jiang Man was silent for a moment before saying, "I've heard of it."

He didn't quite understand why the other party wanted to see Zui Fusheng.

However, I do know for myself.

Because he was in the Black Spirit Abyss at that time, and everyone knew about Drunken Life, there was no reason for him not to know.

"He appeared in the Black Spirit Abyss. Do you know why he appeared in that place?" Tantai Xue asked.

This was something she was curious about, and she also wanted to test how many sources Jiang Man had.

How much better is he than her?

"Is this all?" Jiang Man asked.

"That's it?" Tantai Xue said with a smile. "So, the envoy knew his purpose?"

Jiang Man looked at the other person, already knowing how to answer the question.

This is just the right opportunity to mislead the other party and clear myself of suspicion.

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

"What do you think?" Tantai Xue asked.

“Two layers. The first layer is what you already know, and the second layer is why Zui Fusheng went to that place,” Jiang Man said.

"What is it?" Tantai Xue asked.

She was genuinely curious about what news Jiang Man would reveal.

“Back in the Black Spirit Abyss, the Sun and Moon Immortal Path attempted to incite turmoil within the immortal sects,” Jiang Man replied.

They did try to do it, although they might have just been giving it a shot.

Tantai Xue was taken aback: "Stir up trouble in the immortal sects? In the Black Spirit Abyss? Why?"

“That’s a different price.” With that, Jiang Man turned and disappeared.

He naturally wouldn't say that those people's goal was to kill him, thus enraging Meng Qiewei.

Tantai Xue frowned as she watched Jiang Man turn away gracefully: "You already know who you are, why are you still pretending?"

However, the other party was unaware of this, so it's understandable for them to pretend to be knowledgeable.

However, she was indeed curious as to why the Sun and Moon Immortal Path was trying to incite turmoil within the immortal sects.
Is there something deeper about what happened in the Black Spirit Source?
She couldn't believe it no matter how she thought about it.

Sun and Moon Immortal Path has indeed been active recently, but it still lags far behind the Immortal Sect.

Even if they put in a lot of effort, they still cannot shake the power of the immortal sect.

How could they suddenly incite turmoil within the immortal sects?

What is the core of the problem?
-

Jiang Man returned to the dilapidated temple and then looked at Chen Shi: "Where's the list?"

He couldn't wait.

That would require a tremendous amount of spiritual energy, and it's all legal and compliant.

And you can get it as soon as possible.

We're going to make things tough for these undercover agents.

He was forced into this situation and had no choice but to transform the cold undercover agent into a warm source of inspiration.

Chen Shi handed over the list immediately. There were sixteen people in total.

Jiang Man was surprised to find so many, and there was even detailed information. Although their cultivation levels were a bit low, they were all at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, but their connection to the Sun and Moon Immortal Path meant they were destined to be valuable.

Recently, Zhenyue Division has been unable to find much information.

Once these people arrive, they will more or less become clues.

They obtained the spiritual source, the Zhenyue Division obtained clues, and the mysterious evil god obtained information.

Triple win!

No one loses out.

“Actually, there’s one more person.” Chen Shi suddenly spoke up at this moment.

Jiang Man was quite surprised and asked, "There's someone else? Who?"

For someone to single out this topic, they must be a big fish.

Chen Shi silently took out a separate list and said, "I'm the only one who has seen this person; no one else has seen him."

Jiang Man took the list, glanced at it, and frowned.

Some surprises.

He then looked at Chen Shi and said, "Have you had any problems with your cultivation recently? I'll explain them to you as well."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi immediately said, "Your Excellency misunderstands. We have no intention of seeking credit."

Jiang Man nodded in understanding; he genuinely wanted to guide their cultivation.

How can they become high-profile undercover agents if they don't get promoted?
If you get arrested in the future, he won't ask for anything, just mention his name.

Thinking of this, Jiang Man cautioned, "With your cultivation improved, the Zhenyue Division will be more likely to pay attention to you. If you accidentally stumble and get taken away, be extremely careful."

"We will definitely not expose the envoy." Chen Shi said subconsciously.

Jiang Man was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "Be sure to remember to say my name."

Chen Shi was silent for a moment, then indicated that he would talk to the others.

He momentarily forgot that what the envoy feared most was that they would be captured and then try to distance themselves from the situation.

Afterwards, Jiang Man looked at their questions, which ranged from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.

So he explained it all at once, so the other person could take notes and then go back and explain it to others.

After doing all this, Jiang Man told the other party to leave.

Then he instructed Linghua Xianling to release her aura and wait for the evil god to question her.

Linghua Xianling thought Jiang Man had gone mad.

Isn't it good to be alive?
She was in such a hurry to be reincarnated; all she wanted was to survive.

Yet they must charge into battle, bearing the brunt of the attack.

Even the most arduous and exhausting evil god cannot compare to her.
She decided to agree outwardly, but secretly drag her feet.

We should try to delay it as long as possible.

Jiang Man looked at the statue and pondered for a moment, then said, "If you don't listen, next time I encounter an evil god, I'll say the item is in your possession."

Jiang Man then disappeared.

The rest is up to Linghua Xianling herself.

Back at his lodgings, Jiang Man recalled the list and then wrote it down bit by bit.

The first sixteen were written smoothly.

Jiang Man hesitated for a moment before writing down the last one.

Outer gate, Yunxia Peak, Song Qing.

After writing down Song Qing's name, Jiang Man looked at the old ox beside him with a sigh and asked, "Old ox, do you know any evil spirits related to peach blossoms?"

"The immortal sects call these kinds of evil gods 'evil gods of the six desires,'" the old ox said, munching on grass.

Jiang Man suddenly asked, "Old Huang, which category are you?"

Old Huang casually said while eating grass, "You can guess."

Jiang Man felt that Lao Huang had become much worse, and then asked, "I suspect that Song Qing is always surrounded by women and is related to an evil god. This makes it impossible for him to cultivate properly and he will also be cheated out of spiritual resources. I have decided to eliminate the evil god behind him and give him a normal body."

The old ox glanced at Jiang Man, then ignored him and continued grazing.

"Are these kinds of evil gods easy to deal with?" Jiang Man asked.

"Aren't you curious why he's an undercover agent for the evil god?" the old ox asked.

"He didn't say anything, how would I know?" Jiang Man shrugged. "Did Lao Huang suspect anything?"

"No." The old ox shook its head, then asked, "Aren't you going to ask?"

"We'll ask him when he has a chance to climb higher," Jiang Man said with a smile.

Without hesitation, he gave the names of the other sixteen people to Mr. Yan.

She was also on the Ninth Peak, so we sent her to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

I'll set aside some time to continue my cultivation.

Mr. Yan was dumbfounded. How could I possibly know about this?
-

When Tantai Xue came to her senses, she felt somewhat helpless.

Jiang Man seemed to be even more pretentious than he had imagined.

I don't know if it's true or false.

"Did you get the answer?" Tantai Xiaotian asked.

"Yes, he said that the Sun and Moon Immortal Path was trying to incite turmoil in the immortal sects," Tantai Xue said.

Tantai Xiaotian was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

"He said it was a different price, but I didn't see the essence of the matter."

"Logically speaking, it is indeed impossible. Such actions as the Sun and Moon Immortal Path are nothing more than minor skirmishes for the immortal sects. Apart from taking away a certain abyss-type evil god, they shouldn't have done anything else. Could there be something wrong with this evil god?"

"I don't know, but the Sun and Moon Immortal Path doesn't really have any other purpose. At most, it's just a side trip to kill Jiang Man."

Tantai Xiaotian was silent for a moment, then said, "Why do you think the Sun and Moon Immortal Path wanted to kill Jiang Man?"

Tantai Xue was taken aback and said, "Wasn't it because he made contributions inside?"

At this point, Tantai Xue said with some surprise, "Something seems off. It seems like killing him was planned from the very beginning."

"So it really is related to this matter?" Tantai Xue asked incredulously.

Tantai Xiaotian calmly said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about the students you've been teaching: Ji An, the Ji family's prodigy, three members of the Ji family, three members of the Bai family, the Miao family, the Qi family, so many people from the major immortal clans have come. Who are they here for?"

Tantai Xue was shocked before she realized what was happening.

Of all the gods, only Jiang Man is a local.

Although Wei Ran was no ordinary person, he was still at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the one who attracts the most attention is Jiang Man.

“There’s a secret here,” Tantai Xue said with certainty.

After that, she decided to first see what Jiang Man wanted to do with the list.

Since there are secrets inside, the other party must want to know more about the whereabouts of the Sun and Moon Immortal Path.

Because we can find more clues from these people.

The next day.

Tantai Xue heard the news outside.

The Enforcement Hall has been mobilized to capture the evil god's undercover agents.

She was a little curious as to why they were making such a big fuss about catching undercover agents at this time.

in the afternoon.

After making some inquiries, I discovered that they were all people she had investigated.

In one day, almost everyone was arrested.

Someone reported them.

It goes without saying who it is.

She was somewhat taken aback. Shouldn't she wait and see, and play the long game?
Why were they all reported?

Then she received a message from Linghua Xianling's subordinates.

"Undercover agents are the hard currency; we'll use them for all future transactions."

Tantai Xue: "???"

hard currency?

Do you think undercover agents are a source of inspiration?

What about strategy?
What about vision?
Why not lure out the person behind this?

The commotion is so big.

The Immortal Path of the Sun and Moon deserves its revenge.
