Qiao Linger comes to find Li Waner, Shen Fan prepares to find a mass grave

When Li Waner saw Shen Fan and Qiao Linger appear before her together, she was completely dumbfounded.

Li Waner first looked at Shen Fan, then at Qiao Linger.

Immediately after, Qiao Linger pulled her outside the door.

"What? Short on money again? But your price isn't as expensive this time as it was last time."

Li Waner said.

"No, no! I'm here to see you about something else."

Qiao Linger lowered her voice and said, "The one inside is my Junior Brother. You absolutely cannot reveal that I've been here, understand? Just say we've cooperated before, alright?"

Li Waner nodded woodenly, "Understood!"

At this moment, she finally realized that it was Qiao Linger who had brought Shen Fan here.

"It seems this girl has no idea who she sold herself to last time!"

Li Waner watched Qiao Linger's back as she returned to the room, a meaningful smile on her Face.

Back in the room, the three of them harbored their own thoughts.

"Uh, Junior Brother, this is the partner I mentioned to you, the one I've cooperated with before!"

Qiao Linger introduced, feigning nonchalance.

"Is that so?"

Shen Fan immediately bowed and cupped his hands in greeting, "I am Shen Fan, a Disciple of the Tianxuan Sect!"

"Young Master is too polite!" Li Waner curtsied.

"Well, we came today because we want to do some business with you. We'd like some qiankun bags!"

Qiao Linger went straight to the point.

"qiankun bags?"

Li Waner sneered, "There are so many of these on the market, and my Hongcui Brothel doesn't do this kind of business!"

"I know, we came to you precisely because it's inconvenient for us to go ourselves. Don't worry, you'll be well compensated. We've cooperated before, and I trust you. Even if you buy them for five hundred Spirit Stones outside and sell them to us for six hundred, we're willing!"

Li Waner glanced sideways, her eyes filled with deep confusion, clearly wanting to ask what was going on.

But with Qiao Linger there, Shen Fan found it inconvenient to speak, so he directly ignored Li Waner's questioning gaze.

"How many do you want?" Unable to get an answer, Li Waner could only ask.

"Twenty, I guess!"

Qiao Linger calculated, then turned to Shen Fan, casting a questioning look.

Shen Fan nodded.

Qiao Linger's tone became firm: "Yes, twenty!"

"So, if I buy and sell them to you at six hundred each, I can earn two thousand Spirit Stones for nothing?"

"Exactly. Easy work, isn't it?"

Li Waner secretly clicked her tongue. She found it hard to connect the innocent and lovely girl in front of her with the girl who had sold her body for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones a few days ago.

"Alright! For the sake of our past cooperation, I'll help you buy them. You can take them for whatever price I buy them at!"

"Really? Thank you so much, big sister!"

Qiao Linger was instantly delighted, then turned to look at Shen Fan, as if saying, 'See how amazing I am? I saved two thousand Spirit Stones!'

However, Qiao Linger had no idea that Li Waner's Face was not for her, but for Shen Fan, who was behind her.

Just then, a chorus of flirtatious voices came from the adjacent room, causing both of them to blush.

Shen Fan took the opportunity to say, "I'm going out for some air!"

Qiao Linger, not suspecting anything, nodded.

Then, Shen Fan immediately went out and caught up with Li Waner.

They turned a corner and slipped into another room.

"What do you need so many qiankun bags for?"

Li Waner couldn't contain her curiosity and quickly asked.

"The Corpse King once gave me a clue that there's an undeveloped Mass Grave within the Tianxuan Sect, which might contain a substitute death skull, so I want to go and check it out!"

"There's actually such a thing?"

Li Waner was greatly surprised, "That's a good find!"

At this point, her expression turned indignant.

"Damn Tianxuan Sect, these things used to be all ours!"

"There's nothing we can do, so I thought that during the Four Sects Tournament, with fewer Tianxuan Sect Disciples around, I'd go investigate. If it's true, I'll try to excavate as much as possible!"

Li Waner nodded and said, "Indeed, with such a large scale, you alone wouldn't be able to fully develop it. It's just a shame, it's benefiting the Tianxuan Sect!"

"Don't worry, haven't I joined Zhan Yue Peak now? After my Revered Master returns, I'll tell him the situation and let him oversee the excavation of the Mass Grave. We'll just give a portion to the Tianxuan Sect!"

Li Waner was still full of regret, sighing repeatedly: "Alas! Alas! It's benefiting this damn Tianxuan Sect!"

This situation was like your sworn enemy winning a five-million lottery; you'd feel as terrible as possible.

"Oh, right!"

Li Waner suddenly thought of something, "I've already reported your situation to the Sect. In a while, the Saintess will personally come to connect with you. At that time, you can gauge their attitude.

However, the Saintess should support you. After the Corpse King was Sealed, the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect was taken over by Kui Ba, the Corpse King's most loyal subordinate. He gathered the remaining forces, and that's how the Sect reached its current scale.

Unfortunately, Lord Kui Ba was killed by Xue Qiutian decades ago, leaving the Saintess to manage the Sect.

And the Saintess is Lord Kui Ba's daughter. But in recent years, the high-ranking members of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, seeing the Saintess as merely a woman unable to control the Sect, have frequently tried to usurp her position.

Your appearance might just be the Saintess's saving grace!"

"Let's wait and see!"

Shen Fan said with some concern.

All sense of crisis stemmed from one's own strength.

If he couldn't give the old geezers of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect a perfect explanation, they could casually tell the Tianxuan Sect about his situation, and he would have no good days ahead.

Therefore, if absolutely necessary, it would be better to hand over the items.

That being said, he still needed to adapt to the situation!

...

...

After obtaining twenty qiankun bags from Li Waner, the two returned to the Sect.

The sun set in the west.

Zhan Yue Peak was deserted.

In the past, Shen Fan and Qiao Linger would whisper sweet nothings, always secretly, not daring to make a sound.

Now it was fine; everyone had gone to participate in the competition.

They were the only two left on the entire Zhan Yue Peak.

In the courtyard, on the Cloud-Gazing and Sea-Viewing Platform, above the clouds, amidst the grass...

Their footprints were left everywhere.

...

...

Three days passed in a flash.

When Shen Fan saw that the time was ripe, he immediately took Qiao Linger to the Mass Grave.

The Mass Grave was located in a valley twenty kilometers west of the Inner Sect mountain peaks.

The closest peak here was Chixia Peak, one of the seven Inner Sect peaks.

It was about ten li away, making it relatively secluded.

Chixia Peak was where the Fourth Elder, Wanchao Peak, resided.

He was the father of Wan Li, the Personal Disciple who was killed by Xue Jin and then refined into a Corpse Puppet by Shen Fan.

He still remembered the first time he met Xue Jin.

He had trapped and killed Bai Qianyu and other Inner Sect Disciples of the Tianxuan Sect.

After killing Bai Qianyu and Wan Li, the jade pendant on Wan Li's body contained a wisp of his father Wanchao Peak's Divine Sense.

The Divine Sense, with the power of a Golden Core, had scared Xue Jin away.

...

...

When Shen Fan and Qiao Linger landed in the valley, Qiao Linger murmured to herself. The next moment, the space in front of them vibrated, and a circular Formation about one meter in diameter appeared.

A large cat poked its head out and lazily crawled out of it.

Looking closely, it was indeed a first-tier ninth-level Spirit Beast, a Crimson Gold Fierce Tiger.

Tigers are the kings of the forest. Moving freely in this valley, sending it to gather information was the best choice.
