"What benefits do I have?" The old man was slightly tempted.

"Of course there are benefits. I have endless Sky Dragon Grass, I have a huge amount of energy crystals. As long as you like, you can use them as much as you want. Maybe you will become a great god after leaving the artifact spirit."

"This is a good idea. Let me think about it!"

The old man was finally willing, allowing Duan Ru to bind it with blood. Duan Jidao became the old man's master.

"There is. My memory is called Old Man Tianshu. You can call me Tianshu." "Tianshu, Tianshu?" "Hehe, I understand."

Duan Ling Tian was wild with joy. With this old man Tianshu here, it was equal to taking away all the secret scriptures from the secret treasury, as this was an enormous amount of wealth.

The Fire Sect was a sect that had existed for thousands of years, and had many secret manuals. The Fire Sect was a sect that was only allowed to read one book, and it couldn't be taken away.

With such a great treasure, there was no longer any need for him to be here. Duan Jian took out his Heavenly Treasure Trove and returned to the Pill Gate. At this moment, the vice sect master of the Pill Sect was already Duan Zhen. Duan Zhen had entered the inner sect this year and was helped to become the vice sect master by Duan Meng. As for the others, Duan Jian had some plans and realized that being the sect master was the best choice since he hadn't been in the Fire Sect for long.

"Young Master, there's a letter for you here." Duan Zhen respectfully passed a letter to Duan Ling Tian. Duan Meng tore it open and read it. It was written by the chaotic city's Bai Wuxia. He said that there were some unforeseen events in the Pill City and that it was best to make a trip.

Duan Jian discussed with Black Rock.

"Blackrock, your master's letter didn't say anything. Are we going back or not?"

"Young master, let's go back. I miss master too!"

"Alright, let's go back together."

"Sir, let's go back as well." Long'er and Xiaoxian were afraid of dragging him down as well. Without mentioning Qi Liang, he would follow wherever Duan Ren went, serving as his personal bodyguard.

The five of them rode on their Heavenly Crane and quickly arrived at Chaos City to attend the Pill Assembly.

"Young Master Duan, I didn't receive you well, please forgive me."

Although Bai Wuxia appeared to be the president of the Pill Assembly, he still treated Duan Ling Tian with respect. After all, Duan Ru Yue was the founder of the Pill Assembly. Normally speaking, when Duan Meng was together with Hei Yan, it was the same seniority, lower than Bai Wuxia by a generation. But since they were on their own, Bai Wuxia did not dare to be arrogant, so she still respected Duan Jian a lot.

In Chaos City, the size of a fist is the true size, and the size of a fist is the sky. In the past, Duan Ren had used his fist to smash a mountain. Bai Wuxia admired him.

"Senior Bai is too courteous." Duan Ling Tian treated him with respect as well. Only Black Rock would be so impudent when he saw his master.

"Teacher, you are becoming more and more beautiful. You are not inferior to a little girl at all. You will bewitch a handsome man." Bai Wuxia smiled and rolled his eyes at Hei Yan, "You are so young. Master is already so old, and you still managed to seduce the handsome brother. No one wants the old man. Sigh, old man."

"No one wants it, I want it, I will serve my master for the rest of my life!"

"Silly girl, I am willing, but there are people who aren't willing." Bai Wuxia looked at Hei Yan and then at Duan Jidao. The meaning was very clear. Little Phoenix Fairy, who was at the side, had a black line appear on her face.

"Hmph, you ugly bastard, you dare to snatch it from me?" Xiao Feng Xian cursed in her heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud, afraid that she would be displeased.

"Senior Bai, please send me a letter, saying that there was an unforeseen event in the city and that it would be inconvenient for me to tell you about it. What exactly is it?" Bai Wuxia sighed, "It's a long story."

"What's going on?" Blackrock couldn't hold it in either.

"In the beginning, there was only one person who died in our Pill Assembly, but no one really paid much attention to it. Even though it was someone who was killed, it was still the same day in Chaos City?" "That's why I didn't care. However, after a few days, more and more people died, and they were all young. This situation has spread throughout the entire city."

"Later on, someone discovered that those who died had a common trait, and that was that after a man and woman broke up in love, the man would definitely die. In the entirety of Chaos City, no one dared to openly talk about love, and even those who talked about breaking up wouldn't dare to talk about love anymore. As long as they broke up, the man would definitely die under the sword."

"Looks like the killer is a love demon, killing men alone. It seems like he hates men to the bones." Little Phoenix Fairy was the first to come to a conclusion.

"That may not be the case. Perhaps there is some hidden motive. Killing people is just a form of cover." Qi Liang expressed a difference. Long'er's reason was even more bizarre: "I saw that these men were attracted to him. Because he refused to obey, he killed them." After speaking, even he didn't believe his own words, and began to laugh mischievously.

"There's something fishy about this. Senior Bai, what are you worried about?" This was the biggest question he had ever come across.

"Because of the death of most of the people in the Pill Assembly, and not the death of only a few, I started to suspect that someone was actually going against the Pill Assembly. I sent out experts to investigate, but they were unable to find anything, the other side was extremely clever, I was the one who put out the bait, the other side wasn't fooled at all, but the situation is getting worse and worse, there were too many people who died, I was a little afraid, so I sent a letter to you."

A hint of worry and helplessness appeared in Bai Wuxia's eyes. As he looked at her, Bai Wuxia's eyes seemed to have another meaning, but if Bai Wuxia didn't say it, Duan Ru Yue wouldn't be able to ask.

In the evening, Blackrock arrived at Duan Jian's room.

"Young master, what are you planning to do?" Blackrock was rather puzzled as well. Duan Jian expressed his helplessness.

There will be hundreds of thousands of people in the Pill Assembly, and there will be no love talks that day. We can't follow them one by one and can only look for evidence from the clues left behind. Take your time, I want to stay here for a while longer.

"Young master, I see something wrong with the way you look at me. What did you discover?"

Duan Meng was stunned. It seemed like Black Rock's observation skills were really strong. Just a little bit of interest from him was enough for this little girl to see through him. Black Rock was paying attention to him all the time. However, Duan Ling Tian was slightly happy in his heart. It was a good thing that Hei Yan was so concerned about him.

"Hei Yan, did you discover something? Your master seemed to have discovered something, but she didn't say anything …"

"Young Master, you said that Master knows some of the true colours?"

"Definitely, at least I know a bit. Seeing how senior Bai seems to want to say something but hesitates, I feel very conflicted. Perhaps the time is not right yet, let's investigate in the city first and see if there are any developments."

Duan Meng woke up the next day and something strange happened. A couple in love, not only was the man dead, the woman was also dead. This was a very rare occurrence. Generally speaking, the demon that killed people only knew how to kill men and not women. But this time, when the woman also died, Duan Ru felt that it was extraordinary.

The deceased was not far from the Pill Assembly, and as soon as Duan Jian investigated the scene, he discovered the situation.

It was very likely that this couple had not been killed by the love demon, but rather that the woman had killed the man and then committed suicide. Black Rock did not believe him, and Duan Jian analyzed:

There were no signs of a struggle. Men and women died while hugging each other, while the murder weapon only had a dagger, which was held by the woman. Finally, the dagger was stabbed into the woman's own heart.

Xiao Fengxian and Qi Liang were very much in favor of Duan Lian's analysis. However, Hei Yan was somewhat sorrowful. He looked at Duan Lian affectionately, as if saying something. Duan Ru Yue had unintentionally sensed it and was a bit worried.
