"Tell me, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan was immediately excited. Since Xue Ming said this in front of everyone, it seemed that he really wanted to reward him handsomely.

Yang Fan knew he couldn't be greedy, so he took a deep breath and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Xue Ming.

"Elder, I wish to become a formal disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming stroked his beard and nodded.

"Of course, no problem. Even if you hadn't mentioned this condition, I would still promote you exceptionally when I get back!"

"Tell me, what else do you want?"

Xue Ming stared at Yang Fan with a smile, and Yang Fan gave him a deep look.

He really wanted to ask to learn the Blood Spirit Technique right now, but he knew that if he actually said the words "Blood Spirit Technique," the other party would definitely suspect him.

In this situation, Yang Fan did not bring it up directly, but instead shook his head slightly.

"This disciple has no other extravagant hopes, only that after becoming a formal disciple, I will be able to choose my own cultivation method."

"That's no problem either. You've made such a great contribution, it wouldn't be unreasonable to let you choose a cultivation method to practice later."

Xue Ming readily agreed, and upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That way, he can choose a cultivation method when he gets back.

After doing all this, Xue Ming asked Yang Fan if he had any other requests.

However, Yang Fan did not mention anything else at this point.

Seeing this, Xue Ming patted Yang Fan on the shoulder with satisfaction.

"You're a capable young man. You've done a great job this time, and I'll reward you when we get back."

After speaking, Xue Ming looked at the others with a smile.

Seeing this, the others also began to scrutinize Yang Fan, with the Heavenly Crippled Elder giving him an extremely unfriendly look.

Just then, he clenched his fist slightly.

"Gentlemen, this kid was the last one to come out, and I feel something's off about him. Why don't we just kill him and be done with it? Don't you think that makes more sense?"

Upon hearing this, the others frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought as well.

This enraged Xue Ming.

"What do you mean? Since when did it become your place to decide the life and death of the Blood Fiend Sect members?"

Yang Fan's life was not really important to him, but that didn't mean that other sects could kill him at will.

Does the Blood Fiend Sect and Xue Ming have any face left?

Upon hearing this, the others sized up Yang Fan and then shook their heads slightly.

"Forget it, since he's from the Blood Fiend Sect, and since the Blood Fiend Sect insists on protecting him, why offend him?"

One of them shook his head, then looked intently into the blood-soaked cave.

I wanted to see if anyone would come out, but so far no one has come out.

Seeing this, Xue Ming coughed lightly.

"Alright, now that no one's coming out, shouldn't we reseal the Blood Cave?"

The others exchanged glances and then nodded.

"That's true. Now that everyone's out, we should seal this place off."

The group looked towards the blood cave with some regret.

In their view, the truly valuable things in this blood-soaked place had not yet been taken out, which naturally made them extremely frustrated.

They shook their heads slightly and each waved their hands.

Immediately, the jade pendants and rings on the altar were broken into several pieces, each falling into the hands of its owner.

As the jade ring disappeared, the restrictions surrounding the Blood Cave slowly emerged.

The altar then sealed the entrance there again.

After sealing the altar, the group exchanged glances.

"Alright, now that the altar is sealed, can we leave?"

Someone said this in an annoyed tone, and upon hearing it, Xue Ming nodded repeatedly.

Yang Fan had done him such a good job this time, so he was naturally very excited.

Immediately, Xue Ming waved his hand and summoned his flying spirit sword.

Then, carrying all the surviving Blood Servants, they flew onto the Spirit Sword and then flew away into the distance.

After Xue Ming left, the old man Tian Can coldly glanced at the others.

"Gentlemen, if I'm not mistaken, you're all after the coffin inside, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, the others scoffed.

"What's there to say? Tiancan, isn't your Poison Gu Sect also thinking the same thing?"

"Does Tiancan intend to come and punish us?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Can let out a cold laugh.

"Of course I don't want to interrogate you, but have you ever considered whether the Blood Fiend Sect really hasn't made any plans at all?"

Upon hearing this, the others hesitated for a moment before shaking their heads slightly.

"I suspect the Blood Fiend Sect might have done something, but given their strength, could they really steal those things from us by doing something underhanded?"

"And Tiancan, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly, don't waste time."

"That's the Blood Servant who just came out. I feel something's not right."

"If you ask me, we should go up and grab him, kill him, and that would be the end of it all. That would save us a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, Tian Can stretched his limbs, preparing to chase after the person.

Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances and then coldly shook their heads.

"Alright, Tiancan, you killed that Blood Servant without any evidence. Wouldn't that cause a rift with the Blood Fiend Sect?"

"Although a Blood Servant is worthless, the Blood Fiend Sect is already protecting him. If we go up and insist on killing him, then we're going to start a war."

"Although the six sects of the Blood Path share the same lineage, we cannot be too closely allied. We can't very well turn against each other from behind, can we?"

"Tian Can, in my opinion, you're clearly settling a personal score. If you want to go, you can bring your Poison Gu Sect members with you; we won't get involved."

After saying that, the others shook their heads and turned to leave.

This made Tian Can quite furious.

Many members of the Poison Gu Sect went in this time, but the casualties were heavy. Few Blood Servants came out, and the Blood Servants were of little help.

He realized that even if he actively chased after the Blood Fiend Sect members, he wouldn't be able to defeat them.

To be honest, he wouldn't be upset if he didn't get what was in the coffin, since the lives of blood servants are worthless.

What truly pained him was the treasure he had entrusted to that Blood Servant—the mirage pearl that could create illusions was the key.

That precious mirage pearl was bought at great expense, with the hope of obtaining what was inside the coffin.

But now he hasn't gotten what was inside the coffin, and the mirage pearl has disappeared. How can he tolerate this?

But if he were really asked to go up and fight the Blood Fiend Sect, he wouldn't be confident.

After a long while, he could only shake his head in frustration and leave with the others for the time being.

Since it's not feasible to take action now, we can only retreat and see the bigger picture.

Thinking of this, Tian Can led the remaining Blood Servants and flew away into the distance.

Meanwhile, in mid-air on the other side, Xue Ming was staring intently ahead.

He then glanced at the few remaining blood servants behind him, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.

Then, with a backhand swipe, he knocked all the blood servants off the spirit sword.

"ah--"

A series of screams rang out, and none of the Blood Servants expected that Blood Demon would suddenly strike with such ruthlessness.

"Elder!"

Yang Fan was startled. He never expected that these blood servants, who had finally managed to escape the Blood Cave alive, would be killed by Xue Ming.

"The nuisance is finally gone."

Xue Ming stretched his limbs, speaking in a sinister tone, before walking up to Yang Fan.

Then he lowered his head and stared intently at Yang Fan.

"Tell me, how did you get so many medicinal herbs? I don't believe you could get so many medicinal herbs by yourself."
