Lu Xichan gazed at the now obliterated Martial Arts Hall on Ten Thousand Immortal Island, her brows slightly furrowed.

Faint green threads appeared, twining around her fingertips.

She stared at this familiar yet strange green glow, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Even though the Congyun Sea was a remote place, very few cultivators knew of Lu Xichan's true identity.

However, under her overwhelming aura, she remained silent, and the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Island was eerily quiet.

The cultivators did not dare to look at her directly, all bowing their heads in deference, much like Li Fan.

At the same time, they were guessing in their hearts the identity of this female cultivator.

Finally, two figures flew out from the island's central Administrative Hall to greet her.

A man and a woman, none other than Ziyun and Hongxi, the only two Soul Transformation True Monarchs in the Congyun Sea.

"Greetings, Chief Lu!"

They bowed in unison, a trace of nervousness evident on their faces.

For both leaders of the Congyun Sea to show such deference, it was clear this was an extraordinary figure!

The other cultivators, who had bowed their heads in submission, were both shocked and filled with curiosity.

They secretly wondered why such an important figure like Chief Lu had come to this remote corner of the world.

Was it for this mysterious green light?

“No need for formalities. There is urgent business at hand.”

Lu Xichan glanced coldly at the cultivators on Ten Thousand Immortal Island and said, "From now on, the island is under lockdown. Without my orders, no one is permitted to leave."

As she spoke, she pointed toward the sky.

Transparent patterns spread from the center, quickly enveloping the entire island.

"I have already applied to cut off the connection between this place's Tianxuan Mirror and the outside world. Conventional communication methods have also been blocked by me."

"Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are responsible for maintaining order on the island."

Hongxi, hearing this, immediately grasped the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.

The cultivators on the island exchanged bewildered glances.

It seemed something serious had happened!

The entire island was sealed off, allowing no one to enter or leave.

This was likely the first time such a large-scale lockdown had occurred since Ten Thousand Immortal Island was established!

Hidden among the crowd, Li Fan felt uneasy.

The course of events in this world had far exceeded his expectations.

Initially, he only intended to play a charlatan to fool the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's investigation.

But who would have thought that Gongsun Qixuan's reputation was well deserved? He actually deduced something based on the principle of "Tianxuan Locking Spirit, Union of Xuan and Huang."

He even triggered green energy similar to the Tianxuan Network.

What he had not expected even more was that the anomaly from tens of thousands of miles away had immediately caught Lu Xichan's attention.

She crossed states in an instant and sealed off Ten Thousand Immortal Island.

"Let's take it one step at a time. If I can get through this safely, things might return to my control," Li Fan thought, narrowing his eyes and adjusting his plan.

After Lu Xichan took over Ten Thousand Immortal Island, black-robed cultivators began arriving on the island via teleportation arrays.

They carried an overwhelming aura of killing intent that lingered and patrolled various areas of the island.

The cultivators were divided into groups and interrogated one by one in sequence.

The first to be interrogated, naturally, were the survivors of the mutation at the Martial Arts Hall.

As the instigator of the incident, Li Fan was also the first target of the interrogation.

Fortunately, he did not have to face Lu Xichan directly.

However, he could faintly feel a gaze falling on him now and then, making him cautious.

Feigning weakness, with a pale complexion, he pretended not to have fully recovered from his injuries.

Li Fan truthfully recounted the events that had taken place in the Martial Arts Hall.

"After deducing the phrase, I was immediately hit by a backlash from the heavens."

"As for what Elder Gongsun saw or how he triggered that terrifying green light, I have no idea."

Li Fan coughed and put on an innocent expression, shifting all the blame onto Gongsun Qixuan.

The three cultivators in charge of the interrogation asked a few more details before taking Li Fan into a small, dark room deep within the Administrative Hall, where he was detained.

Li Fan cooperated fully throughout.

Inside the isolated dark room, cut off from the outside world, he could not know what was happening on Ten Thousand Immortal Island.

So, Li Fan closed his eyes and began meditating.

Meanwhile, on Tai'an Island.

The clone "Zhou Qing'ang" quietly left the island's protective formation, heading to the agreed meeting spot with the stone-faced man.

"Boss, something big has happened!"

Before the other party could say anything, Li Fan spoke first.

"Uh... what's the rush? Speak slowly!" the stone-faced man scolded.

"It seems there’s been a major incident on Ten Thousand Immortal Island. Since just now, all contact with the island's cultivators has been lost!" Li Fan's anxious tone was mixed with a hint of excitement.

"Before I came, I made some inquiries. Just before the island was sealed off, someone saw a rainbow light descending from the central headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, arriving at Ten Thousand Immortal Island."

"This lockdown must be related to that rainbow light!" Li Fan said hurriedly.

The stone-faced man was taken aback by the sudden news.

He remained silent for a long time, seemingly verifying the accuracy of the information.

After a while, he spoke in a somewhat shocked tone, "It’s true!"

"What is the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance up to?!"

"Wait... that rainbow light..."

"Lu Xichan!"

His voice immediately rose several notches.

"Boss, who's Lu Xichan?" Li Fan feigned curiosity and asked.

"She's the Chief of the Strategy Formation Division of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, a truly significant figure. But why would she come to Congyun Sea?" The stone-faced man's voice was filled with both confusion and excitement.

Like a hungry wolf encountering prey, he sensed that there must be some earth-shattering secret involved in this event.

If they could uncover it...

"Boss, could this be a great opportunity for us to make a name for ourselves?" Li Fan asked, pretending to suddenly realize something.

"Indeed! We must find out the reason for her visit to Congyun Sea!" the stone-faced man said in a serious tone.

"But Ten Thousand Immortal Island is now sealed off, and even communication has been blocked. It seems almost impossible to figure out what's going on inside..." Li Fan frowned, appearing troubled.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he exclaimed, "Boss, I have an idea."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Do you remember He Zhenghao, the one who sold us the entrance exam questions for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance? Maybe he can help!"

"He Zhenghao..." The stone-faced man pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.

"Go ahead and try. I'll also think of other solutions."

"If you find anything, contact me."

"If he can’t help, then you’ll have to lay low again," the stone-faced man instructed.

"Understood." As the light on the stone face dimmed, Li Fan quickly left.

After having tea with He Zhenghao on Liuli Island, Li Fan swiftly returned.

"Boss, there's a way!"

"What?" The stone-faced man was surprised at how quickly "Zhou Qing'ang" had found a solution and even more surprised that He Zhenghao had information about the sealed Ten Thousand Immortal Island.

"What did he say?" the stone-faced man asked in a serious tone.

"One million contribution points, flat rate!" Li Fan hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice.
