Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Xiao Fan frowned upon hearing Si Kou Shisan's words, sized him up, and then said, "Why so soon? Didn't they just come up with this plan?"

"We don't know either."

Si Kou Shisan shook his head helplessly, a flash of anger in his eyes, and said, "According to the latest information I have received, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect has brought out the source of the poison. They plan to place the source of the poison in a certain city, sacrifice the people, frame the Jia Ma Empire, and then force the royal family to issue an edict to start a war between the two countries."

Upon hearing Si Kou Shisan's explanation, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun could no longer remain silent. If what Si Kou Shisan said was true, and the Wan Xie Sect succeeded, then war between the two countries would likely be unavoidable.

"Do you know where the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect is planning to target?"

Xiao Fan glanced at Si Kou Shisan and asked.

Si Kou Shisan shook his head helplessly when he heard Xiao Fan's words. After all, the Chuyun Empire was so large that the Wanxie Sect could easily choose any city to attack, so it was impossible for them to find a suitable target.

When Xiao Fan saw Si Kou Shisan's actions, his brows furrowed tightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to stop the Wan Xie Sect, but he didn't even know where they wanted to cause trouble, so how could he talk about stopping them?

"You haven't received any news at all?"

Si Kou Shisan shook his head helplessly upon hearing Xiao Fan's words and said with a wry smile, "The reason we were able to get the news out ahead of time this time is because our spies who infiltrated the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect were clever, plus a bit of luck. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't have known the news until after they made their move."

Xiao Fan frowned upon hearing Si Kou Shisan's words. How could he stop the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect without any hints?

[Ding! New mission detected: Organize the Scorpion Clan to massacre the city. Mission rewards: Battle Qi +100, Alchemist Experience +30, Source Coins +1000, Time limit: 5 days]

Just as Xiao Fan was pondering, the system's voice sounded again, and a new task was triggered.

Isn’t this like giving me a pillow when I feel sleepy?

Xiao Fan was secretly delighted. He was just worried about not finding a target for the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect to attack, but unexpectedly, the system appeared.

"System, where does the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect plan to make its move?"

[This is a timed task with no prior notice. If it is not completed within the time limit, the task will fail.]

Xiao Fan, who was initially overjoyed, froze on his face when he heard the system's voice.

A system of this magnitude, and it didn't even give a single notification?

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Fan turned his gaze to Si Kou Shisan again and said, "Such a big operation by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect couldn't possibly be unknown to everyone. Whether it's the preparation of materials or the mobilization of personnel, it's impossible for just a few elders to accomplish it. Are there any high-ranking members of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in Tianrong City?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's words, Si Kou Shisan understood Xiao Fan's plan. His eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "There is a branch of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect in Tianrong City, and an elder is stationed here."

After obtaining the address of the Wanxie Sect elder from Sikou Shisan, Xiao Fan and Yun Yun hurriedly left Tianxiang Tower.

As the capital of the Chuyun Empire, Tianrong City holds extraordinary significance. Naturally, the Wanxie Sect could not remain indifferent to such a place. Therefore, they established a branch of the Wanxie Sect here and dispatched an elder from within the sect to be stationed there year-round.

Xiao Fan and Yun Yun soon arrived at the residence of the Wanxie Sect elders that Si Kou Shisan had mentioned.

According to Si Kou Shisan's description, this elder is named Sha Qing, and he holds a high position in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Many of the disciples and stewards in the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect today were once his disciples, and even several elders have a good relationship with him.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Without connections, one wouldn't be able to get such a lucrative position as the head of the Tianrong City branch.
