Jiang Jun said with a smile.

He said, then took the precious blade flickering with purple cold light, its blade engraved with purple lightning patterns, and handed it over.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Lin Zheyu received the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade and thanked him sincerely.

As soon as his hand touched the hilt, he could feel a warm sensation.

"Senior brother, you're being a bit biased, where are our gifts?" Guo Wenzi looked at the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade in Lin Zheyu's hand with some envy and couldn't help but speak out.

"Didn't I just give them to you?" Jiang Jun retorted.

"What you just gave can't compare to the junior brother's Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade, can it?" Cui Haihong chimed in.

"Exactly."

"Back when I asked you for the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade, you treasured it like it was something special, and now you're directly giving it to Junior Brother Lin."

Chen Ding was also a bit envious.

The Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade is a top-quality treasured blade, forged from Purple Thunder Steel, with great restraining effects on demons and monsters.

Chen Ding coveted it for a long time and challenged Jiang Jun several times, using the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade as a stake, but unfortunately, he failed every time.

"You guys don't primarily practice the saber skill, what's the use of giving it to you?"

"Junior Brother Lin is now the number one among the younger generation of Infinite Sect, not having a commendable weapon wouldn't be appropriate, would it?"

Jiang Jun glanced at them nonchalantly and said.

"Junior brother, I heard you're now the number one among the younger generation of Infinite Sect, not bad, you remind me of my younger days, hahaha..."

Jiang Jun laughed heartily.

His martial arts talent was exceptionally strong, being the strongest among Huang Baizhong's disciples except for Lin Zheyu, or else he wouldn't be the first to advance to Grandmaster.

"Has senior brother successfully advanced to Grandmaster?" Lin Zheyu pretended not to know and asked curiously.

"Of course."

"It's either succeed or die trying; before advancing to Grandmaster, how could I possibly come back." Jiang Jun chuckled.

"So what if you entered the sect a few years earlier, give me a few more years and I can..." Chen Ding muttered quietly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Alright, you guys can discuss these matters privately later, let's talk about the main business first."

"The reason I called you over is not just to introduce you to Jiang Jun, but also for an important matter." Bai Zhong said.

He picked up the map next to the table, several positions circled on it.

"The situation in Great Wei is somewhat dire now."

"Outside the Central Plains Region, several temporal nodes have been opened in areas close to the Central Plains. The closest to Wuling City is in the southwest of Ruyang City, about three hundred miles into the forest..."

"..."

Bai Zhong said.

The group came over to look at the positions circled on the map; those places had temporal nodes appear.

Previously, only the northern region had a successfully opened temporal node.

Now, after several months, more than a dozen places have had their temporal nodes opened.

In the wild mountains and forests, the number of demonic puppets increased dramatically.

Outside the cities, common civilians who could migrate into the cities have all taken refuge within them.

Those who couldn't migrate tried to move outside the city, within areas protected by the army.

'Southwest of Ruyang City, isn't that the Southern Barbarians area...'

'The Southern Barbarians area has already been occupied by the Nine Nether Sect, it seems they're deliberately opening temporal nodes to use the demons and demonic puppets emerging from them to erode the Central Plains Region.'

'However, by doing this, aren't they doing more harm to themselves than to the enemy...'

Lin Zheyu looked at the map, somewhat perplexed.

To his knowledge, demonic puppets have no intelligence, whereas demons are enemies not just to humanity but to all living beings, so they couldn't possibly cooperate with the Nine Nether Sect.

The Nine Nether Sect's operations in opening temporal nodes within conquered areas left Lin Zheyu puzzled.

"Xiaoyu, you stay in Wuling City and act with the city garrison, suppressing and hunting down the demonic puppets appearing outside Wuling City."

Bai Zhong raised his head and said to Lin Zheyu.

Chen Ding, Guo Wenzi, Cui Haihong, they all had their own tasks. As Transforming Force martial artists, their duties were much more significant than Lin Zheyu's.

"Yes, Master."

Lin Zheyu replied.

"Be cautious in all matters, do not get close to the temporal nodes."

"Should you encounter demons, flee immediately. Below the level of Grandmaster, confronting a demon is a certain death."

Mr. Yang cautioned.

"Yes, disciple understands."

The group answered in unison.

"Alright, rest well today, gather together, and head to the mission location tomorrow." Bai Zhong said.

"I haven't been back to Wuling City in a long time; let's invite Junior Sister Gu Ye to join, this meal's on me!"

"Master, Mr. Yang, do you want to come with us?"

Jiang Jun invited.

"I'm just an old fellow, I won't mingle in the activities of you young folks, go on your own." Mr. Yang waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I'll be discussing something with Mr. Yang, and there's something we need to handle later." Bai Zhong said the same.

"Then we're off first~"

Jiang Jun and the others said.

As they left the main hall, Jiang Jun patted Lin Zheyu on the shoulder: "The Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade was my precious blade, don't let it go to waste."

"Rest assured, senior brother, I will definitely let the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade shine brightly, slaying all the demons in the world." Lin Zheyu said.

"Junior brother, if you feel it's not handy, I can exchange it with another treasured blade." Chen Ding came up and said.

"Mr. Chen, you seriously said that."

"The Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade is a law artifact embryo, if reforged, it has a chance of becoming a law artifact."

Guo Wenzi, hearing this, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Hehe, I was just making a suggestion."

"Weapons must be handy to be the best, even if it's a law artifact, what's the use if it's not handy." Chen Ding muttered.

The others stopped, just laughed it off, finding no fault, as Mr. Chen was just that sort of person.

However, upon hearing about the law artifact embryo, Lin Zheyu remembered the Ink Jade Disc he obtained earlier and the blood lotus made of talisman paper.

"I wonder if these two things are still there."

"Three months have passed, if there were any issues, they should have been taken by now." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

He planned to find some time to check after the gathering tonight or tomorrow.

Lin Zheyu was very curious about the legendary immortal artifacts.

"Mr. Chen, don't rush; once you advance to Grandmaster, you too will get your own law artifact, which would be much stronger than this law artifact embryo like the Purple Thunder Demon Slaying Blade."

Jiang Jun said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Senior brother, does every martial artist who advances to Grandmaster receive their own law artifact?"

"What is a real immortal artifact like?"

"Is it very strong?"

"Can I take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zheyu couldn't help but ask.
