In the morning, Chu Xuan arrived outside Ximen Changqing's residence. He activated a sound transmission talisman.
Moments later, the door slowly creaked open. Only then did he hasten his steps and enter the house.
Ximen Changqing was now a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Chu Xuan guessed that he was at least at the sixth level of Nascent Soul, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to gather Han Yiren, Gao Xuan, and others to discuss matters. Of course, from what he knew about Ximen Changqing, it was also possible that the man had concealed his true power.
Inside the room, four Nascent Soul cultivators were already seated. The one at the head of the table was Ximen Changqing. As for the other three, Chu Xuan quickly recognized them through Gao Xuan's memories.
Han Yiren, Luo Yan, and Yang Feixiong. They were all Nascent Soul cultivators of the Majestic Sword Sect.
When Chu Xuan entered, Luo Yan and Yang Feixiong merely glanced at him briefly and didn't pay much attention.
Ximen Changqing, seeing that Chu Xuan had arrived, gave a slight nod. He spoke in a deep voice, "I've gathered you all today to inform you of the detailed situation on the Heavenly Metal Battlefield."
He then began recounting the recent progress. However, the details were all about how many spiritual stone mines, metal mines, and spiritual herb gardens their side had occupied. As for the frontlines, he didn't mention a word.
After finishing his report, Han Yiren, Luo Yan, and Yang Feixiong all showed expressions of excitement.
"If this continues, driving those demon cultivators away and taking full control of the Heavenly Metal Battlefield will only be a matter of time!"
"Yes, this is a dangerous outer battlefield. In the future, our Majestic Sword Sect will have a share of it."
"Who knows, perhaps one day we'll even retake Dawn Star and rebuild the Majestic Sword Sect!"
Chu Xuan glanced at Ximen Changqing, his gaze subtle. He found that Ximen Changqing was only smiling faintly and didn't say much. This likely indicated that the battle between the Samsara God Sect and the Hantian Divine Sect was particularly fierce.
At this moment, Ximen Changqing suddenly spoke.
"By the way, the Fiery Cloud Tower has just seized a large spiritual stone mine near the Heaven-Three City. They need two people to remain stationed there. But the Fiery Cloud Tower doesn't have enough cultivators to spare, so they can only send one. Who would be willing to assist with the guard? According to the rules set by the Divine Sect, the cultivator stationed at the spiritual stone mine will receive a Nascent Soul early-stage puppet beast."
Han Yiren, Luo Yan, and Yang Feixiong all brightened at the mention.
A puppet beast!
This creature only required a soul imprint to be refined for personal use. Since the puppet beast contained a soul, it could fight on its own without the need for constant control.
Having a Nascent Soul early-stage puppet beast by one's side would be like having an extra trump card. No one could resist such an enticing offer.
Luo Yan and Yang Feixiong were about to speak, but Han Yiren shot them a glance. The two, helpless, had no choice but to fall silent.
A mere Nascent Soul early-stage puppet beast was nothing in Chu Xuan's eyes, but he still pretended to be ready to speak.

However, Han Yiren directly ignored him and said aloud, "Ximen senior brother, Luo junior brother and Yang junior brother are both slightly weaker than I am. This task is filled with challenges, so I believe it should be entrusted to me!"
Ximen Changqing glanced at Han Yiren, his expression unreadable. He disliked Han Yiren's personality, but unfortunately, she had the backing of the Deity Transformation Ancestor Sect, a faction he couldn't afford to offend.
A flash of something unusual flickered in Ximen Changqing's eyes, but he concealed it perfectly and smiled.
"Then it will be entrusted to Junior Sister Han. The person sent by Fiery Cloud Tower should be familiar to you, it's Yang Yuze."
Han Yiren's eyes brightened.
"Yang Yuze, Senior Brother? I do have past dealings with him. We'll be able to cooperate more seamlessly. We'll definitely be able to guard that large spiritual stone mine! Senior brother, you can rest assured!"
Ximen Changqing nodded and tossed a storage bag towards her.
"Inside is a Nascent Soul early-stage puppet beast. It has not yet recognized a master, so it's yours."
Ximen Changqing smiled. "You three each have your own tasks. Take one each." With that, he made a gesture, and words appeared on the wall. freewebnøvel.com
