Inside the Riverside Cave Abode.
Feng Xishuang put away the second-tier puppet she had made herself, planning to improve it once she returned.
Then Wei Yiling spoke up, mentioning that she and Feng Xishuang had received another mission. This one was rather strange: they were to kill a Core Formation Stage demon cultivator who had been committing atrocities in Chenguan Commandery.
