Bone mines are divided, undercurrents surge, and civil unrest breaks out in Dali.

Night fell.

Shen Fan arrived at Wind Dao Ling's room.

Being able to resolve the family conflict and completely remove Qiao Linger's mental block, Shen Fan's mood also brightened considerably.

...

Inside the room, Wind Dao Ling had only a single candle lit, and the light was dim.

Actually, this was just for decoration, to give the home a bit of a lived-in feel.

"Revered Master!"

After knocking and receiving permission, Shen Fan pushed the door open and entered.

"The matter of the substitute death skull will likely not remain hidden for long; this third batch of work probably won't be able to go out!"

Wind Dao Ling sighed and said.

"Has Xue Qiutian noticed something?" Shen Fan frowned.

"The Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect has been rampant recently, and small-scale conflicts have already occurred with the Tianxuan Sect. Xue Qiutian is preoccupied, so there's no problem with the substitute death skull!"

Shen Fan: "Then why?"

"The Sect is likely to face a calamity, and a major battle is unavoidable. Taking this opportunity is also the best chance to discuss the substitute death skull's profit share with Xue Qiutian. Moreover, keeping a batch of goods in our hands and making a fortune from this disaster is also a good choice!"

Wind Dao Ling's words aligned with Shen Fan's plan.

Shen Fan actually still had a batch of goods himself.

Ever since meeting with Bai Shuangren, Shen Fan knew that the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect would make a move.

War is the best opportunity to get rich.

At that time, the price of the substitute death skull would soar.

This was much safer than shipping them out nervously, and they could also be sold at a high price.

"That's good! This is much safer than us secretly selling them, and we can sell them at a high price!"

Shen Fan nodded in agreement.

"Since that's the case, I will go to Xue Qiutian tonight to discuss this matter. With the major battle approaching, you all must also be prepared. Don't run around recently, and Cultivate properly!"

Wind Dao Ling gave his instructions, then went alone to the Inner Sect Main Peak.

...

...

Early the next morning.

Wind Dao Ling returned to Zhan Yue Peak.

Seeing his excited appearance, all the Disciples gathered around.

"Revered Master, how was it?"

"Did the Tianxuan Sect agree?"

Amidst everyone's hopeful gazes, Wind Dao Ling slowly began, "The development matter has been handed over to Xue Qiutian and them. We get thirty percent!"

"Ah? Only thirty percent?"

Everyone held out three fingers, looking a bit disappointed.

Wind Dao Ling sighed, "This is the maximum Xue Qiutian could do because the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect is attacking, and the Tianxuan Sect might be stretched thin, and also worried about sabotage by the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect's spies.

Thirty percent is pure profit share; we just need to sit back and collect money!"

Everyone carefully considered the pros and cons.

They also found that thirty percent was not bad.

One must know, there were many powerful bone beasts inside!

They bear all the risks, so thirty percent is indeed good!

...

...

The matter of the substitute death skull was finally settled.

And the substitute death skull also caused a huge stir within the Tianxuan Sect.

Bang!

Inside the main hall of the Inner Sect Main Peak.

Everyone had been discussing the substitute death skull matter here all night.

After Wind Dao Ling left.

Grand Elder Liu Qingfeng, disregarding Xue Qiutian's presence, directly smashed the tea on the table to pieces.

"It must be them!"

"A few months ago, the substitute death skull I auctioned at the Shan Shui Market must have been secretly auctioned by them!"

"Our people went down to the Mass Grave and saw traces of development, which means they don't know how many substitute death skull they dug out in advance!"

"Forget about that wasted money from the market auction; giving them thirty percent pure profit share, I don't agree with this!"

Xue Qiutian narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "There's nothing we can do even if you don't agree. The matter has already been decided. Zhan Yue Peak has never had any income, so giving them a little sweetness can also make them help us guard the Corpse King properly!"

As the Sect Master, Xue Qiutian naturally had his reasons.

"But I just can't stand it!" Liu Qingfeng was furious.

Xue Qiutian waved his hand, interrupting, "Alright, this matter is over. Even if they developed the mine in advance, what they took was just a drop in the ocean. The focus should now be on two things.

First, dealing with the frequent attacks from the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect, making full use of our relationships with the other three Sects to help each other and minimize casualties as much as possible.

Second, quickly developing the Mass Grave. This Mass Grave has many powerful bone beasts. Divide the Sect's combat power into two parts: one for external affairs, and one for internal affairs."

Xue Qiutian meticulously arranged everything in an orderly manner.

...

...

Inner and Outer Sect Mission Hall.

From this day on, mission after mission continuously scrolled across the spirit screen where missions were posted.

Inside the hall, it was bustling with noise, everyone discussing the constantly refreshing missions.

"Tiger Head Mountain Spirit Mine is under attack by the Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect. Urgently recruiting five Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples to lead, five Qi Refinement Stage Perfection, and ten Qi Refining Stage Late Phase to go for support!"

"A bone mine has been discovered within the Sect for developing substitute death skull. Bone beasts are rampant inside. Urgently recruiting five Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples and fifty Qi Refinement Stage Perfection!"

"The Great Li Kingdom is in civil unrest. Within the Tianxuan Sect's territory, Yunzhou's fourteen cities are engulfed in war, and the common people are displaced. Urgently recruiting Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples to lead, and twenty Disciples below Foundation Establishment Stage, to go and suppress the rebel army!"

...

...

Shen Fan stood inside the Mission Hall.

Looking at the chaos and the content on the mission spirit screen, he was completely dumbfounded.

The Nine Underworld Corpse Kui Sect launching an attack was fine.

He also knew about the bone mine development.

What Shen Fan found incredible was that the Great Li Kingdom was actually in civil unrest!

Thinking of this, Shen Fan couldn't help but worry about his family far away in Canglan City.

"Saint Great Master Senior Brother has arrived!"

Just then, inside the Mission Hall, someone shouted.

The noisy hall immediately quieted down.

Turning to look, they saw the members of the Hanfeng Society striding in.

In such turmoil, the Sect's Disciple organizations had clearly become the backbone.

"Great Master Senior Brother!"

Xue Hanzhou led his people directly towards Shen Fan.

Shen Fan immediately turned sideways and cupped his hands in greeting.

Xue Hanzhou nodded with a solemn expression, then directly bypassed Shen Fan and went under the spirit screen.

The scrolling missions were vividly active on the spirit screen.

Then, Xue Hanzhou, living up to his status as the Saint Great Master Senior Brother, flicked his sleeve and sharply turned around.

Like a general before a campaign, he began to call out names.

"Disciples of the Hanfeng Society, listen to my command!"

"Yes!"

Inside the Mission Hall, hundreds of Disciples shouted in unison.

"Li Shaobai! You lead fifty Disciples to support Tiger Head Mountain, and along the way, quell the unrest in Yunzhou's fourteen cities and suppress the rebel army!"

Two missions at once; the Hanfeng Society's reputation as the top organization was fully displayed.

"Yes!"

Although Li Shaobai had a personal grudge with Xue Hanzhou.

But in the face of major right and wrong, he could still remain calm.

"Zhang Yu, you lead the Disciples to remain in the Sect, obey the Elders' orders, and develop the mine!"

"Yes!"

...

...

In an instant.

Dozens of missions were taken on by the Hanfeng Society.

The pressure on all the Disciples instantly decreased.

Subsequently, all the Disciples began to take action.

The arrival of the Hanfeng Society also stimulated the enthusiasm of other Disciple organizations.

Heaven and Earth Society, Hongxing Society, Sanhe Society, Sanding Society...

All the Disciples began to take action.

And just then.

Li Shaobai suddenly walked up to Shen Fan, with a barely perceptible hint of mischief, and said, "You, come with me!"

"Me?"

Shen Fan pointed to himself, frowning.

"Who else could it be but you?"

Li Shaobai said in an unrefusable tone.

Shen Fan looked at Xue Hanzhou for help, a bit displeased.

But Xue Hanzhou completely ignored him.

Seeing this, Shen Fan could only bite the bullet and follow Li Shaobai.
