Inside the Great Hall, Xu Nian also received news from the players. He looked with some surprise at the Handcrafted Equipment a player had made.

Da Lang Doesn't Take Medicine? Has this player really been mining for months straight? Excellent. Players like this are the qualified ones I'm looking for. The players' infighting should stop. It's time to send them to the Southern Continent to confront the Demon Race!

"System, release the Task."

Xu Nian slowly rose to his feet and walked toward the Entrance of the Great Hall. The players had also received notice of the new Task.

[Task: Expel the Demon Race, Protect the Southern Continent.]

[Synopsis: The Southern Continent's Demon Race is already stirring. As cultivators of the Human Race, protecting the Southern Continent is our bounden duty! Follow Sect Leader Xu Nian to the Southern Continent to slay the Demon Race's grand army.]

[Reward: Contribution Points * 1,000.]

The sudden arrival of the Task shocked all the players. What's going on? A Task worth 1,000 Contribution Points actually appeared?

"Brothers, assemble! A new Task is here, and the reward is generous!"

"Hahaha, I've finally waited for this day! The demons in the Eastern Region aren't worth much anymore. It's finally time to show what we're made of!"

"Team up, team up! We need a Fire Technique team! Our brute force squad will steamroll them!"

"Everyone from the Second Legion has assembled and is ready to head to the Southern Continent for Demon Slaying!"

Similar exclamations echoed among the players as they quickly gathered.

Xu Nian stood at the Entrance of the Great Hall. Looking at the assembled Disciples, he said gravely, "Fellow Disciples, follow me to the Southern Continent for Demon Slaying!"

As soon as his words fell, he stepped into the Teleportation Array first, with the rest of the players following suit. Although minor frictions usually existed among the players, such things were to be set aside in the face of Contribution Points. There was no need for such squabbles now. Even player infighting had to be timed right.

One after another, the players stepped out of the Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array and appeared within the Great Dream Immortal Sect. The sudden appearance of five or six thousand people startled Meng Fenggu. The moment he sensed numerous auras, he had rushed over with a group of Sect Leaders. Xu Nian walked at the forefront. His sword-like eyebrows and star-bright eyes were vivid, his white robes fluttering in the wind, giving him the aura of an Exiled Immortal descended to the mortal realm.

"So, it is the esteemed members of the Profound Yellow Sect." Meng Fenggu wasn't foolish and naturally understood why so many people had suddenly appeared. "Are you all gathered here because of the Demon Race in the Southern Continent?"

The Demon Race had paused their advance, allowing the cultivators of the Southern Continent to catch their breath, but they also knew this was not a long-term solution. Their Great Dream Immortal Sect had also been discussing plans to find a time to clear out the Demon Race. Now, with Xu Nian leading the Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect, it undoubtedly gave hope to the cultivators of the Southern Continent.

Why such hope? Because the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples were strong! According to the Fifth Elder's speculation, they were all members of the Undying Race. They couldn't die! If such people charged forward, no matter how numerous the Demon Race, they would be beaten until they wept in defeat.

"Sect Leader Meng, I'm afraid we must request passage through your Great Dream Immortal Sect's territory," Xu Nian said gravely. "The Southern Continent is in trouble, and we, the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness, will not stand idly by. We have come to protect the Southern Continent and expel the Demon Race!"

His words gladdened the hearts of many Southern Continent cultivators.

What kind of power was the Profound Yellow Sect now? The number one force in the Northern Wilderness! Although the other factions in the Northern Wilderness were unwilling to admit it, the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect knew very well that the Profound Yellow Sect was indeed the foremost Sect in the Northern Wilderness. Their arrival undoubtedly reassured everyone. Things are stable now! With their help, the Demon Race is nothing to fear!

The Disciples of the Jade Flower Immortal Sect gazed at the Profound Yellow Sect Disciples, their eyes filled with envy, especially when they saw the beautiful, glowing Spiritual Artifacts in their hands. They were cultivators too, so why were their Spiritual Artifacts so stunningly beautiful? A few cultivators even had colorful birds flying around them, making them very conspicuous.

The White Jade Fairy had been to the Profound Yellow Sect before and had naturally seen some of the players' faces, but she had never seen Xu Nian. At that time, she had been very curious about the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect. Now that she saw him, she didn't expect him to be so young.

Judging by his bone age, he seemed to be only about twenty! How could this be? A Void Refining Realm cultivator at the age of twenty? Even in the Central Domain, there were probably very few who could reach the Void Refining Realm by twenty, right? And weren't all such individuals backed by Tribulation Stage experts? Those people were true Heaven's Prides, every one of them arrogant and dismissive of others. But now? This Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect seemed different. He... He seemed to completely lack that kind of smug arrogance. And it wasn't just him. Behind Xu Nian stood another Disciple, also radiating the aura of the Void Refining Realm! Was the Profound Yellow Sect truly a Sect from the Northern Wilderness? Two such young Void Refining Realm cultivators?! However, when she recalled the terrifying density of Spiritual Qi at the Profound Yellow Sect, she quickly understood. In a place with such concentrated Spiritual Qi, cultivating to the Void Refining Realm probably wasn't an insurmountable problem. It would merely take a bit more time.

While she was still lost in her thoughts, Xu Nian had already bid farewell to Meng Fenggu and the others. He then led the Disciples onto Flying Boats, heading towards the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains region. That was where the Demon Race was gathering!

Watching the crowd in the sky, which resembled a dark cloud, Meng Fenggu sighed, "I've never before seen someone reach the Void Refining Realm at such a young age."

The other cultivators from the Southern Continent nodded silently in agreement.

The Sect Leader of the Qingyuan Sect said with a heavy voice, "This is unacceptable! How can we stand here, chatting idly, while cultivators from the Northern Wilderness go to fight and die for us? I, for one, cannot bear to watch. You all can continue talking here. I am going to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to offer my help personally!"
