First Month Interest-Free, Old Man Duan Arrested

"Alright! I'll borrow!" Shen Fan said through gritted teeth.

"That's the spirit!" The Enforcement Disciple was overjoyed and quickly asked, "How much do you want to borrow? Fifty?"

"Yes! Fifty!"

"Got it!" The Enforcement Disciple had another person perform some operations, and a Spirit Contract appeared before them.

"Junior Brother, sign and put your handprint on it, and I'll count out the Spirit Stones for you!"

As he spoke, he pulled open a drawer, took out a cloth bag from it, and handed over fifty Spirit Stones.

Shen Fan carefully examined it, afraid of any contractual traps.

However, the content was indeed as the Enforcement Disciple had said: new disciples were exempt from interest for the first month, the loan amount was fully disbursed, and it wasn't the "nine out, thirteen back" rule.

But if overdue by one month, interest would be charged at 20% of the principal amount.

Shen Fan's mouth twitched secretly. No wonder they run a lending business with interest like that!

Taking the Spirit Stones, Shen Fan followed the Enforcement Disciple out the door.

"Junior Brother, rest assured, our Heaven and Earth Society is absolutely reliable. Our president is Bai Qianyu, an inner sect direct disciple!"

"Our Heavenly Xuan Sect disciples can form cliques?" Shen Fan asked in surprise.

"Of course, this is to stimulate the enthusiasm and competitiveness of the disciples. Our Heaven and Earth Society is one of the top three organizations within the Heavenly Xuan Sect!" The Enforcement Disciple said proudly.

But this Bai Qianyu, isn't he the guy who wants to kill me?

Thinking of this, Shen Fan's eyes immediately darkened.

Afterward, Shen Fan followed the Enforcement Disciple to receive a set of Talisman equipment, and then he was assigned to a Senior Brother to begin learning the basic introductory knowledge of Talismans.

It must be said that being led into the field by a professional teacher was indeed much more efficient than studying hard alone.

As the sun set, Shen Fan finished his day of learning.

Then he left Talisman Peak to return to the Waste Elixir Chamber. But as Shen Fan passed through the outer sect's Dao Inquiry Plaza, he heard the disciples discussing animatedly.

"I never thought our Heavenly Xuan Sect was so dangerous!"

"So many rogue cultivators and heretical cultivators, there isn't a good person in this Market!"

"Heavens, there were so many people trying to rob the execution ground, hundreds of them, densely packed!"

"That's right! The Icefire Sect raised the bounty to one million, and even more than a dozen of our Enforcement Disciples and outer sect disciples have defected, not to mention other rogue cultivators and heretical cultivators!"

"What I didn't expect the most was that people from the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect were also among them. Didn't you see the dense Corpse Puppets, hundreds of them, rushing over desperately, and dozens of our outer sect disciples died!"

"The resurgence of the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect is not good news. The relationship between the four immortal sects is tense now, and we must not give the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect a chance to take advantage of the situation!"

"But fortunately! They caught an old man from the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect. It is said that this old man is a leader of the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect responsible for monitoring our Heavenly Xuan Sect!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan's heart skipped a beat.

Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect?

Old man?

Could it be Old Man Duan!

Thinking of this, Shen Fan immediately stepped forward to inquire about the news.

"Senior Brothers, what happened? Junior Brother was studying at Talisman Peak today, did I miss something?"

As Shen Fan spoke, he quickly handed over a mind-refreshing cigarette.

This thing was made by drying Qingxin grass, rolling it into a stick with paper, and inhaling it from the mouth after lighting it. It could refresh the mind and benefit cultivation greatly.

No one hits a smiling face, especially when it's paved with a mind-refreshing cigarette.

The few people immediately showed satisfied smiles, lit them enjoyably, and then began to tell Shen Fan everything that had happened.

"Junior Brother, it's a pity you didn't go to the scene! The Icefire Sect offered a reward of one million Spirit Stones, and countless people flocked to it. Even the outer sect disciples and several Enforcement Disciples of our Heavenly Xuan Sect defected to rob the execution ground!"

"..."

The few people told Shen Fan everything that happened today, one after another.

"Were the Icefire Sect's traitors snatched away?" Shen Fan asked nervously.

"How could that be!"

One person said triumphantly.

"You don't know, this is Law Enforcement Elder Mu Xingtian's plan to lure the snake out of its hole. He used an undercover agent as bait, the purpose of which was to catch the murderer who killed Li Qingshan and five other outer sect disciples a few days ago."

"Now it's good, not only have so many rogue cultivators been caught, but also more than three hundred people from the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect and the Icefire Sect!"

Shen Fan pretended to be worried and asked, "Ah? There are people from the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect? Isn't that the demonic sect that was suppressed more than three hundred years ago? Why are they coming out to harm people again?"

"Isn't it?"

Shen Fan continued to ask, "Do you know what the people from the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect look like? I've never seen a heretical cultivator in my life!"

"Hey! Don't mention it, just a broken old man. It is said that he was once a handyman disciple of our Heavenly Xuan Sect, and he once killed the steward of the Spirit Field. It is said that this matter alarmed Elder Mu at the time!"

Hearing this, Shen Fan's heart sank.

Old Man Duan, a handyman disciple, Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect.

All the clues matched!

It was confirmed!

It was Old Man Duan!

Thinking of this, Shen Fan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

He had witnessed the Law Enforcement Hall's methods before.

Old Man Duan didn't have the ability of his Treasure Gathering Universe Bowl to conceal his divine sense!

He would definitely be exposed!

"No! I have to leave now!"

Thinking this, Shen Fan pretended to be relaxed and prepared to leave.

Just then.

Several outer sect disciples in the distance quickly headed towards the Law Enforcement Hall.

The people who were talking to Shen Fan immediately stopped them and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Too many rogue cultivators have been captured, the Law Enforcement Hall has issued a task seeking support from outer sect disciples to guard them, fifty contribution points a day!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too!"

Seeing this, Shen Fan immediately joined these people, accepted the task, and rushed to the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Law Enforcement Hall had its own independent peak, and the dungeon was built halfway up the mountain. At this moment, it was heavily guarded, and non-Law Enforcement Disciples and support disciples were not allowed to enter or exit.

Shen Fan accepted the task and successfully blended in.

The dungeon halfway up the mountain was already overcrowded.

Shen Fan followed the arrangements and took care of two captured rogue cultivators.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to look for Old Man Duan's prison.

The night was already deep, and the interrogation continued.

Taking advantage of the shift change, Shen Fan immediately walked towards the depths of the dungeon.

Old Man Duan was a member of the Nine Nether Corpse Puppet Sect and would definitely be heavily guarded.

If Old Man Duan was caught, escaping was only a last resort.

If he wanted to continue staying in the Heavenly Xuan Sect, Old Man Duan had to be silenced completely.

Thinking of this, a chilling killing intent surged in Shen Fan's heart.

Finally.

In a dark dungeon deep within the prison, Shen Fan found the disheveled Old Man Duan.

"Brother, want a refreshing cigarette?"

After Shen Fan sent the guarding Enforcement Disciple away and saw that no one was around, he knocked on the iron door of the dungeon.

Knock knock knock!

Old Man Duan looked up blankly.

In the darkness, he saw a familiar outline, and then walked over in disbelief.

"You..."

Old Man Duan's eyes widened when he saw Shen Fan.
