Demon Slayer Operation, meeting Li Wan'er

In the sky.

The endless Sword Qi, like heavenly water pouring down, formed a long river of Sword Qi, sweeping towards the dense blood mist.

The surging might of the Golden Core Great Expert caused this entire world to tremble.

"My good father, you didn't expect me to still be alive, did you? You must accept this grand gift well. Don't think I don't know that your current Dao Companion is from the Azurewood Everspring Sect of Jiang Country. For status, position, and power, you assassinated your own wife, Xue Qiutian! I will expose your crimes to the public and let the world see your ugly face!"

"Die for me!!!"

Xue Jin's words seemed to strike Xue Qiutian's sore spot.

The long river of Sword Qi accelerated, completely scattering the blood mist, but Xue Jin's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The surroundings returned to calm, and two blood-colored coffins crashed heavily onto the plaza.

The scene was a mess. Xue Qiutian's Divine Sense swept around, but he did not see Xue Jin's figure. Only then did he approach the blood-colored coffins.

Boom!

In an instant, the two coffins shattered into pieces, and two corpses appeared before everyone.

"Feiyan! Mother!"

"Sword Spirit!"

Xue Qiutian and Xue Hanzhou, these two, master and Disciple, immediately shrieked and knelt down upon seeing the two corpses.

These two were none other than Xue Qiutian's current Dao Companion, and Xue Hanzhou's mother.

The other person was precisely Xue Hanzhou's Dao Companion, the Saintess of the Sword Spirit Sect.

"Xue Jin!!! I will never rest until you are dead!"

Xue Qiutian roared to the sky, embracing his Dao Companion and letting out a hoarse cry.

Xue Hanzhou, who had been full of vigor just moments ago, now had a face so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.

His Dao Companion's death was insignificant; what was most important was that the other person was his mother.

The master and Disciple, father and son, took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

Then they exchanged glances, as if they had decided something.

Xue Qiutian looked around and said coldly, "Today's Saint Ceremony ends here. All Elders, stay. Everyone else, you may disperse!"

...

...

Once only the Elders remained in the main hall.

Xue Qiutian sat on the main seat.

"Issue a joint demon-extermination order to the other three Sects, to thoroughly wipe out the Blood Refinement Sect and the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect. We must restore peace to the world before the Four Sects Tournament three months from now!"

"The Sect will issue a demon-extermination order, updating all Disciples' missions, intelligence, and kills. All rewards will be doubled!"

All the Elders present, without exception, responded in unison.

At this moment, they dared not touch Xue Qiutian's reverse scale.

The truth of the matter was known to almost all Inner Sect Elders.

Facing the tragic case of Xue Jin and his mother back then, this matter had long been buried deep in their hearts.

They never expected that Xue Jin would return like a malevolent spirit from Hell.

Completely exposing this matter to the public.

...

...

And at this moment.

The departing Inner and Outer Sect Disciples were completely shocked by today's events.

"Is it true? Is that person named Xue Jin really the Sect Master's son?"

"You don't know, he was our former Senior Brother! You have no idea how dazzling he used to be!"

"It's true, but for some unknown reason, he was executed by fire and burned to death back then. How could he still be alive?"

"What I mean is, is the Saint really the Sect Master's illegitimate son? Is it that explosive?"

...

...

This matter stirred up a huge storm throughout the Tianxuan Sect.

An action to exterminate demons targeting the Blood Refinement Sect and the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect thus began.

At this time, the Mission Hall was already overcrowded.

Looking at the missions being updated on the spirit screen, all the Inner and Outer Sect Disciples were excited.

"A head of a Qi Refining Stage Three Disciple from the Blood Refinement Sect can be exchanged for a thousand contribution points?"

"As long as traces of the Blood Refinement Sect are found, once verified, one can obtain five hundred contribution points?"

"We're rich, we're rich, we're rich! This wave might directly allow us to buy a Magical Artifact we've coveted for a long time!"

"High rewards often come with high risks. This time, I'm afraid many people will die!"

...

...

At this time, Shen Fan stood in the crowd, looking up at the rapidly scrolling mission information.

An idea popped into his mind.

"Should I discuss it with Xue Jin and get some Disciples for me to exchange for contribution points?"

After looking around, Shen Fan did not directly accept a mission but returned to the Waste Pill Room.

Xue Jin's provocative visit must have truly angered Xue Qiutian.

What to do next, he probably still needed to consult with them.

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately got up and went to the market.

...

...

In the Hongcui Brothel.

Shen Fan and Li Waner sat opposite each other.

"I've already heard about this!"

A solemn expression appeared on Li Waner's face.

"I have already notified the people of the Blood Refinement Sect. During this period, we should temporarily avoid their sharp edge!"

"However..."

Li Waner narrowed her eyes and changed the subject.

Then she took out a white bone token.

"The Tianxuan Sect has placed all its focus on us, and the Sect's interior is already empty. Take this white bone token and find an opportunity to go to the Inner Sect to see. It can guide you to find the Corpse King of my Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect. Once found, see if you can enter and then hand this token to Corpse King Senior!"

"Ah? How can I do that!"

Shen Fan immediately showed a troubled expression and did not directly take the white bone token.

"I can't even enter the Inner Sect right now!"

"I know that. Aren't you already an Inner Sect Candidate Disciple? I will find a way to make you a formal Inner Sect Disciple. I am not forcing you to actually find it. If you really can't, then forget it. Everything must prioritize your own safety!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Fan reluctantly took the token: "This... alright! I'll try, but don't blame me if I can't find it!"

"Don't worry! I won't blame you!"

Li Waner laughed.

"Oh, right, can you ask Xue Jin for me if he can reveal some information to me so I can earn some contribution points? The rewards for this mission are great, and I want to buy a decent Magical Artifact!"

"What are you thinking?"

Li Waner extended her slender finger and poked Shen Fan, "Aren't you afraid Xue Jin will beat you to death?"

"Hehe, I was just saying!" Shen Fan laughed.

"However... if you really want contribution points, it's not impossible. In Yunshang City, some Mortals have appeared who Cultivate the Blood Refinement Sect's Cultivation Technique. I've asked around, and they have no connection to the Blood Refinement Sect. They should be remnants of the Bloodthirsty Sect from back then. If you want contribution points, you can target them!"

"Really?"

Shen Fan immediately showed an excited expression.

"What Magical Artifact do you want? I can find one for you!" Li Waner said generously.

"No need!"

Shen Fan immediately waved his hand, rejecting her offer.

"I've finally managed to survive unnoticed. If you give me a Magical Artifact, wouldn't it draw attention to me again? That old fellow Mu Jiaxing investigated me thoroughly. If I have any property of unknown origin again, I'll definitely be discovered!"

"Alright, then. Tell me whenever you want it. Our Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect still has a rich family fortune!"

Shen Fan pondered for a moment: "Well, actually, you should still give me one. I'll keep it as a trump card. It can also save my life at a critical moment. However, please find me a decent one, just not one that's too evil!"

"How about this one?"

Li Waner flipped her wrist and took out a seal-type Magic Treasure.
