Cangwu Island...

Inside a small teahouse in Wuzhou City, a group of diners are discussing world affairs.

"Hey, have you heard? A few days ago, the entire village of Huangjia outside the city was wiped out overnight, not even the children were spared."

"No way? Where did you hear that? Who would have the guts to kill an entire village? Aren't they afraid of being hunted down by the righteous sects for such a heinous act?"

"How could that not be! This matter is all over the news now. Moreover, the dead bodies had no external injuries, and they were shriveled up, as if their souls had been taken away."

"Fellow Daoist, is it really as bizarre as you say?"

"It's absolutely true! My sister-in-law told me all this in bed last night; she's from Huangjia Village."

"Fellow Daoist, could you please have your sister-in-law come to my place tonight and tell me the details as well?"

"Get out of here! My sister-in-law is a respectable person."

"It's not just Huangjia Village; several other small sects have also experienced similar incidents, with deaths that are almost identical to what you described," someone at the next table chimed in.

"Sigh! These are truly troubled times..."

"Who says otherwise! Everyone should be careful these days."

At this moment, within the Myriad Laws Sect...

An outer sect disciple was kneeling inside the outer sect elders' hall, crying and pleading, "Elder, please do justice for your disciple!"

"Get up and talk it out slowly. What kind of behavior is this, crying and sobbing?" Jiang Ba said in a deep voice.

"Elder, this is what happened. The day before yesterday, I returned to the village to visit my parents, only to find the corpses of hundreds of villagers. I examined their causes of death, and it seems that their souls and essences had been extracted. This must be the work of an evil cultivator."

"Yesterday, when I went to investigate the murderer, I discovered that not only our Huangjia Village, but also some other small villages and sects had suffered the same massacre. I had no other choice but to return to the sect for help..."

"Based on what you've said, it does indeed resemble the methods of evil cultivators. Go back and wait for news; I'll go and consult with the sect leader."

"This disciple thanks the Grand Elder..."

Inside the sect leader's main hall, Lu Chen listened attentively to Jiang Ba's report and pondered for a while.

"Elder Jiang Ba, let's arrange it like this: 'Go and instruct the Mission Hall to issue some bounty missions for evil cultivators. This will give the disciples a good opportunity to go down the mountain and gain experience; long-term seclusion is not beneficial to their growth.'"

"Have your disciples form small teams for training, and assign several elders to secretly protect them. Many of our disciples are still relatively new to cultivation, and their strength and experience are still weak. But remember, elders must not intervene unless it is a matter of life and death."

"You can also go to Tianbao Pavilion to inquire about information and see which evil cultivation forces or well-known evil cultivators exist in the Eastern Region."

"Your Majesty is wise; I know how to handle this."

"Alright! Go and handle it!"

After returning to the outer sect, Jiang Ba immediately summoned the elders to discuss the specific plan.

Half a day later, the Task Hall posted a large number of tasks with rewards.

A group of disciples completely surrounded the mission hall.

"Hey, fellow disciples, don't push, don't push! I'll read it out loud for everyone to hear!" a disciple shouted.

The disciples who couldn't squeeze in quieted down and listened to him read the proclamation.

"Recently, several incidents of murders involving members of minor sects and villages have occurred in Cangwu Prefecture. Judging from the manner of the deaths, it is very likely that these were committed by evil cultivators."

"The first mission, a one-star mission: Go down the mountain to find clues about evil cultivators. The reward for completing the mission is 50,000 contribution points. It is recommended to form a team of three to five people."

"The second mission, a two-star mission: if the identity of the murderer can be identified, the reward is 200,000 contribution points. It is recommended to form a team of five to ten people."

"The third one is also a two-star mission: discover and kill evil cultivators. The reward standards are: 5,000 contribution points for evil cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, 10,000 contribution points for those in the Foundation Establishment Realm, 50,000 contribution points for those in the Golden Core Realm, and 100,000 contribution points for those in the Purple Mansion Realm."

"The fourth, three-star mission: destroy evil cultivation sects or forces, reward one million contribution points."

The disciples' eyes lit up when they heard about the tempting contribution points.

Chaos ensued as everyone scrambled to take on the task.

At this moment, Jiang Ba stepped forward and said, "Quiet! When accepting missions, be mindful of your capabilities and always work in teams. The same mission can be undertaken by multiple teams, but please be sure to prioritize safety during missions."

"We understand, thank you for the reminder, Elder!" Everyone bowed to Jiang Ba.

The disciples then formed teams, accepted the mission, and went down the mountain.

"Kun Kun, have you heard? There are evil cultivators causing trouble in Cangwu Continent recently, and the Mission Hall has already issued related missions. How can we brothers be left out of such an important matter!" the mage said.

"Brother Mage is right! Let's go, let's go get the mission now!" Kun Kun replied.

After returning from the secret realm, the two have been hiding in the cultivation tower and have now both reached the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm.

at this time……

Inside the main hall of the Xieyue Sect, which shares the same location as the Wanfa Sect in Cangwu Prefecture, a group of people were chatting and laughing.

"Sect Master, this time we've collected quite a few souls and refined a large amount of essence blood. With these, our Evil Moon Sect will definitely be able to refine many Blood Soul Pills, and our strength will surely reach a new level! Hahaha..."

"Quiet down, everyone! We've caused quite a stir this time, which will inevitably attract the attention of other sects. Therefore, we must be much more careful in the future. If we are discovered, we will all die!"

"The sect leader is absolutely right. Elders, please don't forget that there is also the powerful Myriad Laws Sect in our Cangwu Continent. Therefore, we must be cautious in everything we do."

"Elders, have your disciples keep a low profile for now and stop attacking villages and small sects. Instead, target isolated rogue cultivators," the Evil Moon Sect Master instructed.

"We will obey our sect leader's orders!"

Inside Tianbao Pavilion.

"Sect Master Liu, has the batch of resources that our sect ordered from your esteemed pavilion a few days ago arrived?"

Inside Tianbao Pavilion, Jiang Ba sat opposite Liu Yiyi, sipping tea as he asked questions.

"Your sect has ordered two thousand sets of spirit garments, as well as various spirit herbs and medicines. The Wuzhou branch is short of stock, so we have already transferred goods from the main store. The goods should be on their way. Please ask Elder Jiang Ba to wait patiently for two more days."

"No rush, Pavilion Master Liu. I'm not here to urge you to deliver the goods, but rather to ask you something."

"Oh? What matter requires Elder Jiang's personal intervention? Please explain in detail. Tianbao Pavilion will do its utmost to help if it can," Liu Yiyi said.

"Sect Master Liu, you must have heard about the recent unrest in Cangwu Continent. I personally investigated the matter, and it was indeed the work of evil cultivators. Two villages of disciples from various sects have been massacred. I would like to ask you, what evil cultivation sects or forces exist in the Eastern Region, or which notorious rogue cultivators are there?" Jiang Ba asked.

"Recently, Cangwu Continent has indeed been in turmoil. However, there aren't many evil cultivation forces in the Eastern Region. Our people once discovered that the Heavenly Demon Sect had engaged in similar activities, but the Heavenly Demon Sect has already been destroyed."

"Oh, the Heavenly Demon Sect you mentioned was destroyed by our sect leader a few days ago. According to the sect leader, the Heavenly Demon Sect was an out-and-out demonic sect that treated cultivators as food, sucking their life essence to cultivate demonic arts."

"What? The Heavenly Demon Sect was destroyed by your sect?" Liu Yiyi stood up in surprise.

"Sect Master Liu, why make such a fuss? It's just the destruction of a small Heavenly Demon Sect."

"I'm sorry, Elder Jiang, I misspoke earlier. Let's talk about the matter at hand."

"There's also the Netherworld Cult doing something similar in the dark, but the Netherworld Cult is only a second-rate power and shouldn't be able to create such a big commotion."

"There is a sect called the Evil Moon Sect, which doesn't act very cleanly either, and this sect is located in Cangwu Continent. The Evil Moon Sect is a first-class sect, and I suspect that they were responsible for what happened in Cangwu Continent this time."

"Oh? According to Pavilion Master Liu, this Evil Moon Sect is indeed very suspicious. It is located in Cangwu Continent and has the power to do such a thing."

"It is indeed suspicious. It is said that this sect practices evil arts..." Liu Yiyi continued.

"Thank you for informing me, Pavilion Master Liu. I'll go and take a good look at the Evil Moon Sect. I'll take my leave now."

"Alright, I will personally deliver the supplies to your clan in a couple of days."

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Pavilion Master Liu."

"No trouble at all, Elder Jiang, I'll see you off."
