Debt Collection Team, Subject Crisis

Wind Dao Ling heard this, his expression instantly became extremely grave, and he asked in a deep voice: "Shen Fan, are your words true? Facing such a tricky matter, do you really have full confidence?"

Shen Fan's expression was solemn, his gaze as firm as a rock. He nodded heavily, his tone steady and powerful: "Revered Master, rest assured! I will personally select the members for the Debt Collection Squad. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters will all accompany me, and I will also carefully select a group of elite Disciples from the various peaks. With such a lineup, it will certainly be foolproof, and I have full confidence!"

Hearing this, a look of pleasant surprise instantly bloomed in Wind Dao Ling's eyes, and he said joyfully: "Good! Since that is the case, I entrust this matter entirely to you!"

After speaking, he scanned the entire hall and said sternly to all the Elders: "Elders, Spiritual Mines are the lifeblood of our Sect. We have actually lost seven or eight Spiritual Mines; this is like someone tightly gripping our throat, making it difficult for us to breathe and hard to move."

Therefore, these Spiritual Mines must be reclaimed, and not a moment can be delayed! During this period, if Shen Fan has any requests, all Elders must fulfill them with their full effort, and no shirk is allowed!"

"Yes!" the Elders replied in unison, their voices resonant, echoing in the grand hall.

After the meeting ended, Shen Fan did not dare to delay for a moment. He immediately found Maple Red Leaf and the others to inform them in detail about this debt collection mission.

Upon hearing that they were going to collect debts, everyone's spirits lifted, excitement flashing in their eyes, appearing eager to try.

However, only Qiao Linger and Shen Ziyuan showed expressions of worry.

Qiao Linger bit her lip gently, and after hesitating for a moment, said: "Brother, with our current strength, wouldn't we just be a burden to you if we went? Why don't we just not go!"

Shen Fan shook his head gently, his gaze gentle yet firm: "You have all already stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage, so you should possess a certain level of combat capability. The path of cultivation is rugged, tortuous, and full of unknowns and challenges. Without sufficient combat experience, how could I rest assured letting you go out and venture on your own in the future? Do you intend to stay in this Sect for your whole life, never stepping out?"

Maple Red Leaf nodded in praise from the side: "Exactly, flowers in a greenhouse can never grow strong. While we are here to protect you, going out to see the world and accumulating some experience will be of great benefit to you in the future!"

Hearing this, Qiao Linger and Shen Ziyuan looked at each other, a trace of determination flashing in their eyes, and then they nodded heavily.

At this moment, a warm current surged in their hearts, feeling that as long as they were by Shen Fan's side, even if there were heavy difficulties ahead, even if it eventually led to their demise, it would be worth it! Moreover, they firmly believed that Brother Shen Fan would definitely protect them well!

After all, this debt collection squad would not work without them. They were the main combat power for this operation. After the Spiritual Mines were reclaimed, stabilizing the order and daily operations would require more people to handle.

Subsequently, Shen Fan went tirelessly to other peaks of the Inner Sect to search for suitable candidates.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. The Debt Collection Squad was officially announced as established.

Shen Fan stood in front of the nearly one hundred people, his gaze slowly sweeping over each person, and then he took out one hundred identical black cloaks from his Storage Pouch.

"These are the symbols of our Debt Collection Squad, and each one is a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact!" Shen Fan said loudly.

Hearing this, the nearly one hundred people widened their eyes, filled with shock and pleasant surprise.

"A Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact!" someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

You must know, among the Disciples present, anyone who could possess a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact could be called an outstanding individual. Now, everyone could get one, so how could they not be excited!

But they also knew deeply that this mission was arduous and the responsibility was heavy; corresponding to these generous rewards would surely be heavy difficulties and challenges!

After the cloaks were distributed, Shen Fan continued: "This cloak not only possesses strong defense, but also has two special abilities. The first is a defensive Formation. When used individually, it can form a protective shield to protect oneself; if people with the same cloak stand together, it can be used as a group to combine into a more powerful defensive shield, which is impregnable."

"In addition, it also possesses the escape ability of Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell, which can help everyone escape from danger at critical moments. Everyone has half a day to familiarize themselves with how to use it. We will gather here early tomorrow morning and set off on time!"

These people were all carefully selected by Shen Fan. He even checked the situation of their ancestors up to three generations to ensure they were safe and reliable!

Just at this moment, Cang Chenfeng walked over excitedly. At this time, he had already become an Inner Sect Disciple, and his strength had reached the Perfection of the Qi Refinement Stage.

"Senior Brother!" Cang Chenfeng saluted respectfully.

Shen Fan had a good impression of this person. Cang Chenfeng was a prince from a small vassal state of Great Li, and when he entered the Sect, he even brought hundreds of servants with excellent talent and aptitude, and he had also helped Shen Fan a lot in the matter of the substitute death skull. This was also the reason why Shen Fan called for him.

"How is it?" Shen Fan patted Cang Chenfeng on the shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Hehe! It's great!" Cang Chenfeng was very proud, his face overflowing with a bright smile. Born in an Imperial Dynasty, he knew deeply that choosing the right side had a vital impact on a person's life, and could even concern life and death. This time, he felt he had made the right bet.

"That..." Cang Chenfeng scratched the back of his head with some difficulty, and after hesitating for a moment, said, "Senior Brother Shen Fan, I have a matter that I would like to ask you for help with!"

"Haha! Is there anything we brothers can't talk about? Speak up, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best to help you!" Shen Fan said heartily.

Hearing this, a feeling of gratitude surged in Cang Chenfeng's heart. Subsequently, he took a deep breath and said: "The Great Li Kingdom has rebelled, and some of our small vassal states have suffered unprecedented heavy blows. Forces like the Jiang Country and the Mystic Yin Enchantress Sect have all launched devastating attacks on our small states. Currently, our country is deep in the midst of war, and the people are living in misery. So I want to ask Senior Brother to help me!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan nodded without hesitation: "No problem! After this debt collection matter is finished, I will take people over to help you. With our Debt Collection Squad, I believe we will definitely be able to solve your difficult problem!"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Cang Chenfeng nodded repeatedly in excitement, light of hope flashing in his eyes. He knew the strength of this team too well. Especially Shen Fan and his group's strike team, that was an existence that could even take down Golden Core Stage powerhouses.

Early the next morning, Shen Fan led the team to set off. Before leaving, he did not reveal the place they were going to this time. It was not until they arrived at their destination that everyone suddenly realized.
