Chapter 577 Chapter 549: It's Hard to Predict Misfortune or Fortune
A group of cultivators led by Long Yueyou, including Zhou Kebao, gathered together.
They discussed Li Fan\'s recent actions.
Ever since they suffered a secret setback at Li Fan\'s hands and were then forced to cooperate with him, although they did not mention it openly, everyone had some grievances in their hearts.
No matter what, they were all figures who dominated their respective areas.
The failure to scheme against Li Fan, but instead turning into his pawn, was a small matter of lost wealth but a major matter of lost face!
Even if their relationship was officially established as a "friendly cooperation" on the surface, this did not prevent them from tripping up Li Fan "the fat sheep" secretly when the time came.
To vent their anguish.
Therefore, they cared very much about every move Li Fan made. Li Fan\'s request for He Zhenghao to raise a huge amount of contribution and then purchasing goods in large quantities naturally couldn\'t escape their eyes.
"So, what do you think? Should we follow Li Fan\'s steps and make purchases too or…"
"Heh heh, are you planning to make a fortune by following him?" Someone in the field let out a mocking laugh, "As everyone knows, this man is extremely cunning and deceitful. Think about his past actions, every major move he made was premeditated, intending to set traps for others."
"It hasn\'t been long since the Zhen Ye and the others suffered heavy losses. Have we all forgotten already?"
"Hey, brother Zhu you can\'t say it like that. Today is different from the past. Now, Li Fan is the envoy of secrets of Misthaven City and holds an official position. How can he act recklessly again? If he disrupts the market and destabilizes the Immortal Alliance again, will Headquarters spare him?" Another person was singing an opposing tune.
When these words came out, many cultivators in the field nodded their heads, showing their agreement.
"Exactly! In my opinion, he must have foreseen something, hence the big move. You should know that the fundraising plan He Zhenghao is in charge of has been established since Li Fan\'s reappearance. In the early stages, Li Fan\'s reputation was built up quite a bit, and it can\'t be separated from this fundraising plan. It can even be said that this is his brand! I don\'t believe he would do anything to harm his own image!"
"We should follow him! Can those rabble even compare with us in terms of financial strength combined?"
...
The crowd was noisy; many cultivators were willing to follow Li Fan\'s actions.
Despite their dislike for Li Fan, they were still quite convinced by his abilities.
While everyone was engaged in heated discussions, Zhou Kebao remained silent, his brows tightly knitted.
Long Yueyou, who sat in the middle, a faint smile on his lips but no less majesty in his face, asked after seeing Zhou Kebao\'s unusual behavior:"How do you see this matter, Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Kebao didn\'t hesitate and directly replied, "Undoubtedly we can refer to Li Fan\'s purchase list and buy the same items."
Seeing Zhou Kebao so decisive, Long Yueyou\'s face flashed a hint of surprise. However, he did not interrupt and continued to listen patiently. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"The price of these things will see a significant increase in the near future."
Zhou Kebao\'s confusion deepened: "But what puzzles me lies here. If the materials on the list all increase in price."
"If such a thing really happens, there is only one possibility."
"That would be a massive battle is about to erupt."
Zhou Kebao flicked his finger; a light curtain emerged in mid-air.
Various characters emerged on the light curtain; the list was exactly the same as the one Li Fan had given to He Zhenghao.
At Zhou Kebao\'s words, everyone quieted down. They were staring at the flickering characters on the light curtain, their expressions full of doubt.
"War? With the Five Elders Organization? It shouldn\'t go that far-- it\'s been many years since we had a real fight. Although the border has indeed been tense recently, no matter what, it should not escalate to the point of actual warfare, right?"
"Exactly! Not long ago, we endured the humiliation of the Five Elders Organization desecrating our pride and looting the entire Ten Thousand Immortals Island. If a war were to actually break out, it would have to be a cataclysm!" The majority of the cultivators present were inclined not to believe this scenario.
"Has anyone heard any rumors recently that something is amiss? If we are indeed going to fight, we should at least be preparing." Long Yueyou seriously asked at this point.
There was a moment of silence at first.
Then, the cultivators took out their Communication Talismans one after another, using their own channels to investigate.
"A bizarre affair..." Zhou Kebao was even more puzzled.
While the crowd was still unsure, they all looked to Long Yueyou, waiting for his final decision.
Long Yueyou\'s eyes narrowed slightly, recalling his past dealings with Li Fan, he felt a sense of impenetrability.
Therefore, he made up his mind.
"It\'s better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn\'t. Li Fan is indeed a capable man."
"He must have foreseen some future event; for this time, we can simply follow!"
Seeing the group still hesitant, Long Yueyou laughed," You all can rest assured to go make purchases."
"I have looked at the list of materials. Although it isn\'t used much usually, the good thing is that the price is stable and can be stored for a long time."
"Even if this is another trap set by Li Fan, we will not lose much."
"Of course, if you\'re still not reassured…"
" If an accident really happens, we, the Long Family, can buy all the materials from you at your purchasing price."
"I assure you won\'t suffer any loss again!" Long Yueyou said gravely.
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.
Because the one who Long Yueyou just mentioned was not himself, but the Long Family.
This meant...
Seeing the surprised and then delighted expression in everyone\'s eyes, Long Yueyou, standing proudly, said, "Yes, my brother has been fortunate enough to break through to the Unity Realm recently."
"After some arrangements, he will soon be transferred to the Administrative Hall Headquarters."
"The relevant orders will be issued very soon, even if I don\'t say it, you all should find out soon."
Hearing Long Yueyou\'s personal confirmation, the cultivators were overjoyed.
They should know that their small group, after all these years of deep connections, had long coalesced into one.
They shared honor and disgrace, and Long Yueyou held the most dominant position among them.
The Long Family had a significant influence, with connections all over the various states of the Immortal Alliance.
The only regret was that they don\'t have a pillar that can support them.
But now, with the promotion of Long Yueyou\'s brother to the Unity Realm and his transfer to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters,
This single shortcoming will be remedied.
A cultivator in the Administrative Hall Headquarters was undoubtedly the apex of the Immortal Alliance\'s power structure.
Therefore, they all earnestly congratulated Long Yueyou.
"The harsh and cold Sky-spirit State, Brother Jiuyuan has been hibernating there for a long time and is finally about to soar into the sky. Congratulations!"
