>The Taiwu Sect had undergone some changes, and all the disciples now lived here. Many of them started to take on missions for rewards.

>Cloud Xiao dao and Zhu Rong were not lacking in resources now, they only thought about how to get the title of Golden Disciple faster. They were all lazy people.

>Shen Xiang usually stayed at Tai Dan King Hall in the evening. During his free time during the day, he would come here to chat with Cloud Xiao dao and Xu Weilong.

>Today, as Shen Xiang walked into the small hall, he saw an elderly man with a peaceful expression. He remembered that this old man had been among the elders before, so he should be one of the elders in the Elder Hall.

>"I'm the elder responsible for assigning missions," said the old man with a smile as he introduced himself. Cloud Xiao dao and Xu Weilong were also present in the hall.

>"What's wrong with Elder Qian" asked Shen Xiang. There were more young elders in Taiwu Sect, and they were usually powerful people with an older lineage. Disciples did not need to pay respects when they saw these elders, as many of them were not very formal.

>"There's a mission I need you to take," said Elder Qian as his expression became more serious. "Only you can manage it because only you can quickly reach the place."

Shen Xiang nodded. He had Zhu Qiao Firewing, which allowed him to travel quickly.

"Just now, we received news that disciples from Taiwu Sect were attacked by demonic martial artists at the border of Pride Sword Sect. Those demonic martial artists are not very strong, around True Martial Realm 2rd and 3rd stage," said Elder Qian.

"But there's Pride Sword Sect nearby, can't they help" asked Shen Xiang in confusion.

"Pride Sword Sect is always arrogant and rarely helps outsiders. They also have little contact with other sects, and they think highly of themselves, always believing that they are the strongest sect on Chenwu Continuum," said Elder Qian. "They won't come forward, as Taiwu Sect has always been suppressing them."

Shen Xiang had heard about this before, but he did not expect Pride Sword Sect to be like that. He nodded. "I'll take care of this."

"This is a Level Six mission, be careful!" said Elder Qian as he took out a sheet of paper with detailed maps and other information that would help Shen Xiang.

Elder Qian left, then Xu Weilong whispered. "Be careful, Shen Xiang. I remember that this Elder Qian and that Lu Shang are good friends."

Zhu Rong nodded. "From what I see, this Elder Qian is not bad, but he's quite close to the Lu family."

Shen Xiang frowned and said, "I'll be careful."

After leaving Taiwu Sect, Shen Xiang wandered around Tianmen City. By nightfall, he checked into a hotel and disguised himself before leaving the city early the next morning. He joined a group of martial artists heading to Danxiang Peach源.

He hid his movements well, so he wasn't worried about being attacked by powerful martial artists. Nobody had noticed him yet, and he followed the group for three days before leaving the Taiwu Sect area in a city. Then, he entered the forest alone.

"If you're going to Pride Sword Sect, why don't you visit Yu Huanlan" teased Su Meiyao. "She's quite a charming woman, you know."

"No, I need to get things done quickly," said Shen Xiang as he flew into the air. A pair of huge firewings sprouted from his back, and he headed towards Danxiang Peach源.

With Zhu Qiao Firewing, his flight speed was very fast and he flew high enough that nobody could sneak attack him. He had to be cautious when traveling since he deeply offended True Martial Sect, Beast Martial Sect, and逍遙仙海.

The Divine Sword State was under the jurisdiction of Pride Sword Sect. The local martial artists here used swords, and in their eyes, swords were the most noble weaponry. Those who used knives or spears were considered inferior weapons.

Shen Xiang had flown for ten days, crossing the Peach Source Region. He landed on the land of Divine Sword State, which was full of dense spiritual energy like other states. The forest was also beautiful, and he was headed to a place near the edge of Divine Sword State. It was close to the Ice Wind Polar, at the border of Pride Sword Sect.

Ice Wind Polar was also called Ice Wind State, which was the smallest state in Chenwu Continuum. It had harsh environments and few people lived there, except for the Ice Wind Valley sect, which was quite powerful despite its small population.

"If the job is done quickly, I'll visit the mysterious Yu Lan at Ice Wind Valley," said Shen Xiang. In his mind, she was a mature and alluring woman with white hair. He hadn't contacted her since they separated.

As he flew, Shen Xiang felt colder and colder. He knew that he was now at the border of Pride Sword Sect, where there was a city. In the outskirts, they found a crystal mine. As Taiwu Sect disciples discovered it first, Taiwu Sect could mine there for twenty years according to tradition. This was something that Pride Sword Sect remembered bitterly.

The mine was large, and Taiwu Sect wasn't trying to steal it secretly. They announced their mining rights according to Chenwu Continuum laws that allowed Taiwu Sect twenty years of mining.

Now, Taiwu Sect was being attacked by demonic martial artists at the border of Pride Sword Sect, and Pride Sword Sect would never come forward. They'd only take pleasure in Taiwu Sect's misfortune.

Shen Xiang arrived at the city named Frost Sword City. Here, every martial artist carried a sword on their back or waist as tradition had it. Shen Xiang already had one on his waist to avoid drawing attention.

It was very cold here, but powerful martial artists wouldn't fear the harsh conditions. They could use their thick true qi to resist coldness invading their bodies, hence most of the people wearing thin clothes were stronger martial artists.

Now, Shen Xiang was dressed thickly. He was worried that Elder Qian might have been working with the Lu family, trying to lure him here and ambush him. So, his first thing was to inquire whether Taiwu Sect's disciples were indeed being attacked by demonic martial artists.

The hotels of the middle class were full of people from different backgrounds. Shen Xiang came here, ordered several dishes, and paid the two crystal stones as a tip before asking the waiter some questions.

"Hello, young man. I'm from the outer city and just moved here. Can you tell me if there are demonic martial artists around" asked Shen Xiang.

For the waiter, a crystal stone was quite a sum of money. Even if Shen Xiang asked about his ancestors' stories, it wouldn't be hard.

The waiter was thin and naturally had a smiling face. He smiled even more brightly now, "Sir, you don't know the truth. Although there are demonic martial artists here, they dare not harm our Divine Sword State people. However, for some reason, there have been demonic martial artists going out to rob mines outside the city lately. Taiwu Sect has lost several disciples."

"The city lord's office doesn't care, nor does Pride Sword Sect. They are very jealous of Taiwu Sect. However, Taiwu Sect's disciples aren't bad guys. When they come into the city, they always leave tips. Although they mine in Divine Sword State for only twenty years, when Pride Sword Sect takes it over, they can still mine for several dozen more years. If Taiwu Sect didn't discover this mine, everyone would have no rights to it. That's also why many people live here."

Shen Xiang could tell that Pride Sword Sect wasn't very popular among people. He could see many beggars on the side of the road in the city, which wouldn't happen in Taiwu State.mmer, it was very shocking that he could still move like this after being smashed."I want their divine souls!" Shen Xiang took out the Immortal Poison Snake King's divine soul quickly and ate up the m...
