The community is held accountable and the leader is eliminated.

The leader was none other than Xue Hanzhou, the recently appointed Saint of the Tianxuan Sect.

What Shen Fan didn't expect was that Xue Hanzhou had also founded an organization.

It was called: Hanfeng Society.

The Hanfeng Society was founded by Xue Hanzhou himself, backed by Sect Master Xue Qiutian.

Ordinarily, it did not participate in inter-society struggles for profit; its main income came from some of the Tianxuan Sect's external industries, such as Spirit Mines, the buying and selling of Medicinal Pills and Magical Artifacts, and tasks like guarding, transportation, and security.

It was almost a monopoly, a very lucrative business.

And Shen Fan, during the day, had borrowed a full two hundred thousand Contribution Points through the Hanfeng Society.

The Hanfeng Society had a strong background and was not afraid of anyone defaulting on their debts, so the Contribution Points Shen Fan borrowed were the most.

“Greetings, Saint!”

Seeing Xue Hanzhou approach, everyone immediately released Shen Fan.

Everyone, including Shen Fan, bowed in greeting.

“Is that you?”

When Xue Hanzhou saw Shen Fan, he raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised.

“You’re not dead yet?”

Shen Fan suddenly remembered that during the interrogation in the main hall that day, Xue Hanzhou had been beside Xue Qiutian.

So it was only natural that Xue Hanzhou recognized Shen Fan.

“Sect Master was merciful, and this Disciple fell off a cliff but luckily obtained a Medicinal Herb, which allowed this Disciple to survive!” Shen Fan quickly fabricated.

“Heh! I didn’t expect you to have such an Opportunity?”

Xue Hanzhou felt a hint of surprise.

And just at this moment, when Shen Fan looked up, he saw someone else accompanying Xue Hanzhou.

And this person was precisely Lu Qingzhu.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingzhu had actually been saved by Xue Hanzhou.

However, at this moment, Lu Qingzhu seemed not to recognize him, her eyes dull like a walking corpse, standing blankly beside Xue Hanzhou.

It seemed her Divine Soul must have suffered severe damage to become like this.

Lu Qingzhu had a mutated Spiritual Root, which was much more useful than his own; he hadn't expected Xue Hanzhou to even personally save her.

It seemed that Lu Qingzhu herself still had extremely great Luck.

“Why did you borrow so many Contribution Points?” Xue Hanzhou asked coldly.

Shen Fan immediately knelt down with a thud: “Saint, please understand, this humble one truly had no choice!”

“That day, this humble one’s Divine Soul was damaged by Sect Master’s Soul Searching Technique; this humble one luckily survived by relying on a Medicinal Herb, but now, this humble one’s Divine Soul is severely damaged, suffering torment daily. If this humble one doesn’t find a way to restore this humble one’s Divine Soul soon, this humble one won’t even be able to save this humble one’s life!”

“Therefore, this humble one frantically borrowed money just to buy treasures to restore Divine Soul at the Wanbao Pavilion. Today, all eighty thousand of these points were used to purchase Soul Water. Saint can verify this at the Wanbao Pavilion!”

Xue Hanzhou did not doubt Shen Fan’s words.

Xue Hanzhou retorted, “Then aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to repay so many Contribution Points?”

“Even if this humble one dies in the Tianxuan Sect in this lifetime, this humble one will repay all these Contribution Points!”

Xue Hanzhou: “Does Revered Master hurting you with the Soul Searching Technique not make you hate him?”

“This Disciple wouldn’t dare! The Sect’s kindness to this Disciple is as vast as a mountain, and furthermore, since more than four hundred Elders died tragically, it was only right for the Sect Master to investigate as this Disciple fortunately survived!”

Xue Hanzhou immediately chuckled: “Damn, what a talent!”

Seeing this, Xue Hanzhou said to everyone, “Since he has spent all the Contribution Points, even if we tear apart his bones and drink his blood now, it wouldn’t be enough to pay off so many debts. The only way now is to let him continue to earn money for the Sect’s great achievements.”

At this point, Xue Hanzhou said to Shen Fan, “Effective immediately, the principal and interest total one hundred twenty thousand Contribution Points. Any problem?”

“No problem, no problem!” Shen Fan nodded repeatedly.

“Good! Of the forty thousand interest, I’ll take twenty thousand, and you all split the remaining twenty thousand. From today onwards, every single Contribution Point he earns will be proportionally divided among the seven societies. If he encounters any accidents while performing tasks, my Hanfeng Society will bear your principal!”

Hearing this, Shen Fan looked at Xue Hanzhou in surprise.

He hadn’t expected him to actually act as his guarantor; that was over a million Contribution Points, principal and interest combined!

“With Saint as guarantor, we are at ease!”

“Saint is so benevolent, to actually act as a guarantor for such a person, truly unexpected!”

“This kid is lucky. Let’s go!”

...

...

Soon, all the other seven societies and organizations left.

Outside the Waste Pill Room, only Shen Fan, Xue Hanzhou, and the dumbstruck Lu Qingzhu remained.

“Disciple Shen Fan, many thanks to Saint for vouching for this humble one. This humble one is willing to serve you like a dog or horse, to go through fire and water, without hesitation!”

Shen Fan immediately knelt on one knee, looking utterly grateful.

Seeing this scene, Xue Hanzhou nodded with satisfaction.

“If you want to thank me, you must show it with concrete actions!”

Xue Hanzhou helped Shen Fan up with one hand and said with a smile.

“From now on, you are a member of my Hanfeng Society. Work hard with me, and perhaps in ten or twenty years, you’ll pay off these loans!”

“Saint, please speak freely. As long as this humble one can do it, this humble one will go through fire and water!”

“I just happen to have something I need you to do. I wonder if you’re willing. If you succeed, I will waive ten thousand Contribution Points of your interest!”

Xue Hanzhou said, narrowing his eyes.

Got it!

I knew you had ulterior motives.

One task is worth ten thousand Contribution Points; that must mean going to one’s death!

However, Shen Fan thought about it again. He already owed over a million; if he were to go to his death for just ten thousand, it wouldn’t be worth it!

So, this matter should be relatively simple.

“Saint, please speak. This humble one is willing to serve you like a dog or horse!”

Shen Fan knelt on one knee again.

At this moment, Shen Fan felt a faint sense of relief.

Because it seemed he wouldn’t have to leave here after all.

Shen Fan didn’t care about Contribution Points or anything like that.

With the treasure gathering cosmos bowl, Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, and Cultivation Techniques were all easily acquired.

This Tianxuan Sect still held more secrets about the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect; staying here seemed like it could lead to more Opportunities.

Especially since the Corpse King was still in his hands; relying on him, he would definitely make a profit!

...

...

Xue Hanzhou: “Actually, it’s not a difficult matter!”

Shen Fan: “Saint, please speak freely!”

“Go and help me kill the Sect Master, my Revered Master Xue Qiutian!”

Shen Fan: “...”

Did I mishear?

Or am I hallucinating?

Shen Fan blinked in confusion: “Saint, what did you say? I didn’t hear clearly!”

Xue Hanzhou’s expression darkened: “Help me kill Xue Qiutian!”

Thud!

Shen Fan feigned fear, immediately collapsing to the ground.

But his heart was greatly shocked.

These Revered Master and Disciple, they must have some kind of grudge, right?

However, what was the difference between this condition and telling Benbo’erba and Bapo’erben to kill Tang Sanzang?

Shen Fan said with a bitter smile, “Saint, he is your Revered Master, and besides, I am just an ant at the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement. How could I possibly kill the Sect Master?”
