Ye Tianfan carefully read through Yu Jian's introduction to the task, which stated that there was a poisonous beast that always possessed deadly venom, lurking within the inner perimeter of the Wood Spirit Sect.

  The Mu Lin Sect's sect area occupies nearly a third of the Tian Qi Star, and together with the other two major sects, they govern in a vertical manner. Of course, this refers to the outer range of the sect, as for the recruitment range for accepting disciples, after all, the outer range is so large, how can there be so many people to guard it? The outer range, apart from the Ling Shi mine vein, is unguarded.

  As for the inner circle, it is the true sphere of influence of the sect. Only disciples of the sect can move freely within this area. The inner circle of the Wood Spirit Sect covers an area of one thousand miles in all directions from the sect, and the boundaries are guarded by patrols at the Golden Elixir stage or even the Nascent Soul stage.

  Because the outer disciples only have the foundation period cultivation, the sect has determined the activity range of the outer disciples within this inner area. Except for the time to return home and visit relatives, they cannot leave this range. The outer disciples' tasks are also within this inner range. Generally, outer disciples like those with golden elixir period cultivation or above would guard the medicine garden or spiritual beast garden inside, but this cannot exercise the cultivators. Therefore, after the sect has solved the golden elixir period monsters in the inner area, they leave behind the foundation period monsters as tasks for the outer disciples to kill, which can both exercise them and allow them to exchange the points from killing monsters for things they need.

  This way, the problem of having many outer door disciples but few tasks is solved, and it also makes the inner door disciples and even the elders of the inner door much easier. After all, this kind of welfare for the outer door disciples is not only meaningless to them, but also wastes time, and those points are basically a drop in the bucket for the inner door disciples.

  Ye Tianfan finished reading the task and muttered to himself: "Since I already know that the task is in a cave 600 miles away, let's hurry up and go, lest the night is long and the dreams are many." After finishing speaking, he pushed the door out and ran towards the destination of the task.

  Ye Tianfan was unaware that as soon as he left, his disciples spread the news that Ye Tianfan had gone to undertake that life-or-death mission. As a result, the outer sect is now bustling with excitement, all hoping to see if Ye Tianfan can break this unbreakable record.

  He controlled his speed to around the middle of the foundation period and Ye Tianfan ran for a whole day and night before arriving at the destination marked on the Jade Map. Since Ye Tianfan had arrived, he naturally wouldn't rush to solve his task immediately, but instead decided to rest nearby and go again when dawn broke.

  The next day, Ye Tianfan got up at dawn and slowly walked towards the entrance of the cave. As soon as he reached the entrance, a pungent and strange smell wafted into his nostrils, causing him to quickly seal off his sense of smell.

  Ye Tianfan furrowed his brow, for he discovered that the smell contained some toxins, which would have a slight impact on Foundation Building cultivators. If that demonic beast were to spray it directly at him, Ye Tianfan would definitely be dead without a chance of survival.

  Ye Tianfan thought of these things, but he didn't stop his footsteps. He was extremely confident in his own strength. The cave was very wide and long, and Ye Tianfan walked for almost half an hour before arriving at the so-called lair of the demon beast.

  All that could be seen was the nest, which was filled with a foul odor of feces everywhere. Ye Tianfan carefully searched and finally saw this beast between two piles of feces. This beast was over four meters long and one meter in diameter, somewhat resembling a centipede, but it was clear that there were significant differences from a centipede. Ye Tianfan had never heard of such a beast before, so it was likely to be a mutated beast.

  Mutated demonic beasts are different from ordinary demonic beasts, they generally possess a innate skill, and the strength of the innate skill determines the potential of this demonic beast. Just by looking at it, you can tell that the innate ability it possesses must be related to poison.

  Ye Tianfan observed it, and the demon beast also seemed to have discovered Ye Tianfan, the intruder who had entered its territory. The demon beast moved swiftly towards Ye Tianfan like a centipede, using its hundreds of horns, its speed only slightly slower than that of a Golden Dan period cultivator.

  Ye Tianfan saw it swimming towards him, of course, he wouldn't let it get close to his body. Who knows if he would be sprayed with toxic water and end up in an unseemly state? So Ye Tianfan dodged to the side and avoided it, but the place where Ye Tianfan had just been standing was already corroded by the monster's venom into a big hole, which was still sizzling.

  Seeing the toxicity of this demon beast was so severe, Ye Tianfan became even more cautious, never engaging in a head-on battle with it, but instead circling around its perimeter, occasionally using the trash flying swords released by his sect to stab it, and after an hour had passed, this demon beast had become covered in wounds all over its body. With just a few more slashes, it would definitely die, and Ye Tianfan also pretended to be out of energy at this point, because he knew that the good show was about to begin.

  "What a waste, can't even handle a small Foundation Establishment cultivator like this. What's the point of keeping you around? You're really disappointing." A voice full of malice sounded out, and Ye Tianfan knew that the master had finally appeared.

  When the monk spoke, the monster not only didn't get angry, but also licked the man's hand with its thick and long tongue, looking very gentle.

  Ye Tianfan took a closer look at the person and saw that he was extremely handsome, with a physique similar to Ye Tianfan's. His face was as delicate as a woman's, but what stood out most was his pale complexion, which didn't belong to ordinary people. Moreover, Ye Tianfan could confirm that this person wasn't an outer sect disciple. The reason for this certainty, apart from not having seen him before, was that he possessed the Golden Dan stage cultivation that outer sect disciples couldn't possibly have.

  To clarify the person's purpose, Ye Tianfan pretended to be afraid but still calm and said: "Who are you, how did you appear here, what is your purpose, and what is your relationship with this demon beast?" Ye Tianfan asked several questions in one breath.

  "You've asked me so many questions, I don't even know where to start. Why don't I just introduce myself? First of all, remember my name is Ren Tian Xing, and after you die, don't forget that it was I who sent you to your death; secondly, I am an inner disciple of the Muling Sect, and as for why I came here, of course it's to see if you'll be killed or not; lastly, and most importantly, I also have another identity - I am actually the former Young Master of the Poison Sect, which was annihilated by the three major powers of Tianqi Star. This demonic beast is a result of my using the Poison Sect's secret methods to mutate it, and it's also because I intentionally released this demonic beast that even Golden Dan period cultivators were injured."

  Ye Tianfan was still calm when he heard the front, but when he heard the back, he took a breath of cool air. It's necessary to know that the name of Du Zong in Tianqi Star is a negative teaching material that can make three-year-old children stop crying. As long as parents say: "If you cry again, people from Du Zong will come and catch you." The children will immediately stop crying. From this, it can be seen that Du Zong's evil name is notorious.

  Moreover, it is said that the Poison Sect has a way to increase the probability of demonic beasts' variation using their own essence and blood. Connecting this to the abnormally pale face of the young master of the Poison Sect, everything can be explained.

  However, these are not the reasons why the three major factions of Tianqi Xing want to eradicate them. The main reason is that once a Du Zong disciple turns a demon beast into a variant demon beast and makes it their Benming Ling Shou, they can use someone else's blood to replace their own blood to feed the demon beast, allowing it to grow. As for themselves, they only need to be fed with refined blood once in a while. The higher the cultivator's rank, the more beneficial it is to the growth of the demon beast, and the faster the demon beast matures.

  Just thinking about it is terrifying, to know that a demon beast from birth to maturity needs at least several hundred years, and with this method can shorten this cycle by several times, even tens of times. This kind of heinous act is naturally unbearable for the three major sects, so after the Poison Sect was destroyed, the sect added one more rule: when encountering a Poison Sect disciple, kill without pardon.
