Goodbye White Frost Blade, give up the position of leader
The next day, Shen Fan went to the Shan Shui Market.
Hongcui Brothel.
Shen Fan looked at the familiar white-haired girl in front of him, a look of surprise on his face.
Li Waner stood up and respectfully introduced, “Junior Brother, this is the Saintess of my Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect!”
But what Li Waner didn’t expect was that.
The white-haired girl, with her white pupils flickering, came before Shen Fan, bowed slightly, and said, “Bai Shuangren greets the Corpse King’s Legacy holder!”
“How did your Physical Body escape?”
Shen Fan asked in surprise.
“When the Chun Nong Valley Elder was pursuing you, I had someone take advantage of the chaos to retrieve my Physical Body!”
This white-haired girl was none other than the Physical Body of the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect’s Saintess that Shen Fan had auctioned off a few days prior at the Shan Shui Market.
And at this moment.
Within this Physical Body, there was the Saintess Bai Shuangren’s complete Divine Soul.
Li Wan’er looked at the two of them speaking words she couldn’t understand and interrupted them, “Um… stop for a moment, what are you two talking about?”
Shen Fan smiled slightly and briefly explained what happened at the Shan Shui Market.
Only then did Li Wan’er realize.
Then, Shen Fan got to the point, “Saintess, what is your intention in coming here? What suggestions from the Sect have you brought?”
“Are you trying to make me hand over the Corpse King’s Legacy? Or what do you plan to do?”
Bai Shuangren quickly explained, “Some voices within the Sect are indeed like that, but I’ve already heard about your matter. Since the Corpse King can give you the Legacy, there’s naturally a reason for it, so, as the Saintess, I support you and hope you can firmly take the Sect Master position, lead the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, rescue the Corpse King, and restore our former glory!”
“Stop, stop, stop!!”
Shen Fan quickly stopped her.
“About that, the Sect Master position is out of the question.
I’ll give you the Legacy the Corpse King gave me right now.
You are the Saintess, inheriting the Sect Master position is most suitable!”
Saying that, Shen Fan directly took out the “Heaven and Earth Puppet Score.”
As for the rest, Shen Fan admitted he was holding back.
Otherwise, to be a gentleman, should he take everything out?
To let the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect regain its might, slaughter all living beings in the world to refine Corpse Puppets, pursue the Dao of Corpse Puppets, and forge an indestructible body?
To be honest, Shen Fan wasn’t that great.
I just want to keep the Corpse King’s Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails for myself, so what?
In such matters, Shen Fan would rather be a true villain than a hypocrite.
“This is a Heaven-grade Cultivation Technique; Cultivating it to Major Achievement can alter the Heavenly Dao!”
“Heaven… Heaven-grade Cultivation Technique?”
Upon hearing this grade, Bai Shuangren and Li Wan’er both widened their eyes.
Immediately after, both of their eyes were fixed on the Cultivation Technique that Shen Fan had taken out.
“Is there nothing else?” Bai Shuangren asked.
“That’s all there is; the rest were taken by that old dog Xue Qiutian back then!”
Shen Fan sighed, “Moreover, the Corpse King has been Sealed for three hundred years, and his Divine Soul has dissipated too much. If no measures are taken, I’m afraid it will completely vanish!”
Seeing Bai Shuangren unmoved, Shen Fan continued to persuade, “I really can’t take on this Sect Master position. I’ve already joined the Tianxuan Sect’s Zhan Yue Peak, which is crucial for rescuing the Corpse King!”
“You might not know what Zhan Yue Peak represents; that’s the main force that Sealed the Corpse King!”
Hearing this, Bai Shuangren took the Cultivation Technique, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“You’ve been trying to rescue the Corpse King for so many years, and you don’t even know this?”
Immediately, Shen Fan told the two about the loss of Zhan Yue Peak.
“After three hundred years of development, the Tianxuan Sect has stabilized, and they are no longer as concerned about Sealing the Corpse King. The main power that Sealed the Corpse King actually comes from Zhan Yue Peak!”
“Zhan Yue Peak has the same authority as the Sect Master Xue Qiutian. There aren’t many people, only a few, but the Peak Master in secluded cultivation is the previous ruler of the Great Li Kingdom, Royal Xuanji.”
“It wasn’t easy for me to join Zhan Yue Peak. Only this way can I find a way to save the Corpse King. If you make me the Sect Master, wouldn’t all my previous efforts be wasted?”
Hearing this, a look of realization appeared on Bai Shuangren’s face, “Since that’s the case, your role is truly not to be underestimated. You really must continue to stay in that position!”
“Of course!”
Shen Fan said, “If Zhan Yue Peak isn’t dealt with, even if you have stronger power, it’s useless. I heard that this Royal Xuanji is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul realm. Once he succeeds, then our Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect might as well go home and sleep. Saving the Corpse King would be impossible!”
Upon hearing this, Bai Shuangren nodded solemnly, “Since that’s the case, then continue to act as an undercover Disciple in Tianxuan Sect’s Zhan Yue Peak. Should there be any developments, report to me immediately!”
“No problem!”
Shen Fan guaranteed.
“Oh, Saintess, regarding my matter, please keep it a secret for me. I don’t want the other Elders to continue troubling me!”
“Don’t worry about that. With this Heaven and Earth Puppet Score, my say will be greater when I return. By then, those old fellows shouldn’t dare to say anything!”
“That’s good then!”
...
...
After meeting Bai Shuangren.
Shen Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it was the Six Paths Soul Suppressing Nails or the gold, silver, and bronze zombie corpse puppets, these things absolutely could not be given to them.
On the way back to Tianxuan Sect, Shen Fan pondered silently.
“It seems Bai Shuangren is worried about the Corpse King’s Divine Soul dissipating and should take some action!”
Just now, Shen Fan clearly saw Bai Shuangren show a nervous expression.
“If they do take action, wouldn’t the price of substitute death skulls skyrocket?”
Thinking of this, he immediately had an idea.
Since that was the case, the substitute death skulls in his possession couldn’t be sold off hastily.
If a war broke out, the price of these substitute death skulls would double, leading to a huge profit.
As for those in Wind Dao Ling’s hands, Shen Fan didn’t plan to inform them.
Otherwise, how would he tell them?
Say that he received news that the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect was taking action and a war was imminent?
And then sell them at that time?
Wouldn’t that expose his identity?
So, it was better to secretly make his own small fortune!
However.
Before Shen Fan could return to Zhan Yue Peak.
Shen Fan was stopped by someone.
“You are?”
Shen Fan saw that the other party had no hostility and immediately looked puzzled.
“Junior Brother Shen Fan of Zhan Yue Peak?”
“And this Senior Brother is?”
“The Saint has invited you. Please come to the Hanfeng Society in the inner Sect!”
“Alright!”
Shen Fan didn’t doubt him.
He followed this person to a mountain peak in the inner Sect.
This was an organizational venue specially opened for Disciples to form their own organizations.
At this moment, Xue Hanzhou was discussing something with several high-ranking members of the organization.
Upon seeing Shen Fan arrive, these people immediately stopped.
“Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Junior Brother Shen Fan, whom I told you about, who joined Zhan Yue Peak!”
Xue Hanzhou enthusiastically pulled Shen Fan to stand before these people.
The others immediately stood up and greeted Shen Fan.
As he looked around.
However, one person remained seated, unmoving.
Seeing this, Shen Fan didn’t pay it any mind.
After greeting them, Shen Fan sat down with everyone.
“Junior Brother Shen Fan has already joined Zhan Yue Peak, and now he’s here. Does anyone have any objections to Junior Brother Shen Fan being appointed as the Flag Leader of our Hanfeng Society?”
Shen Fan, who was beside them, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
“Is he going to give himself an official position?”
