Chapter 559
Li Fan maintained a calm expression and said, "Friend, you must be joking."
"I just heard you mention that the newly appointed Secret Envoy is also named Li Fan."
"If I were truly a spy for the Five Elders Association, why would I choose such a conspicuous name and draw unnecessary attention?"
Huang Ranqi thought this made some sense and nodded slightly.
Li Fan continued, "I also heard that before a cultivator joins the alliance, their identity is thoroughly verified. With the extraordinary abilities of the Immortal Alliance, if anything were amiss with me, it would surely be detected on the spot. In that case, you'd be the hero who exposes a spy and earns great merit."
"So, why worry?"
After some consideration, Huang Ranqi was finally convinced by Li Fan’s words. He took the lead in applying for a talisman of passage on Li Fan's behalf and then escorted him through the teleportation formation on the island, arriving at Congyun Immortal City.
Seeing the city floating amidst the clouds, Li Fan showed a hint of surprise. "I heard that the Immortal Alliance's base in the Congyun Sea was an island. Why is it now a floating city?"
"That's ancient history. If you're interested, you can ask around once you join the alliance," Huang Ranqi replied, clearly unwilling to elaborate.
