I laughed, "How could I refuse the rules set down by the founder?"

As I spoke, I drew a dagger and threw it at the other party's feet. The bright blade drew an arc in the air before landing in front of them. Tian Dan took a step back in fright before looking at the dagger stuck in the ground.

Out of shame and anger, Tian Dan pulled out the dagger and threw it back at me.

The dagger turned into a stream of light, heading straight for my eyes. Zi Wan'er pressed her palm down slightly, and the dagger, just inches from my eyelids, suddenly changed direction, falling straight down to the ground, sticking into the soil right next to my toes.

I sneered, tapped the ground with my toe, and the dagger was immediately sent into the air. I reached out and grabbed the hilt, sheathing the blade.

This meant that I had accepted the challenge. When the duel ended, one of us would retrieve the dagger.

Zi Wan'er also took my dagger. "Now that the contest has begun, who will be the guarantor?"

Ye Youshen said, "I can invite five Yin Marshals to be the guarantors. I think that should be enough."

"Good! Now that we have a mission, let's start with this mission!" Zi Wan'er bowed and said, "Farewell!"

Not long after the other party left, I asked, "Grandmaster, what's going on?"

Bai Wuchang shook his head and said, "The struggle between our Ten Yin Marshals and the civil officials has reached a fever pitch. The two Palm Coffin Masters of the Coffin Gate, although not innate gods, hold a pivotal position in the underworld."

"Over the years, the Coffin Gate has been walking a tightrope between the civil and military factions, maintaining friendly relations with both sides. However, they haven't explicitly stood on either side."

"Ye You is afraid that our conflict with the Coffin Gate will cause them to completely lean towards the civil officials."

Bai Wuchang laughed at himself after speaking, "You don't need to worry about these things. Just take care of your own business. Just don't let us lose face in front of the other Yin Marshals. We'll handle the rest."

Hei Wuchang sneered, "The Coffin Gate is nothing special."

Bai Wuchang patted me on the shoulder, "Remember, you're not orphans. If the sky falls, your grandmasters are here! Go, don't embarrass us."

Hei Wuchang and Bai Wuchang walked into the void side by side.

But I frowned, "This business is clearly a losing proposition for us! Xie Yueling is infatuated with that pretty boy, Lin Zhao, to the point where we can't even get close to them. How are we supposed to do the mission?"

Old Liu laughed, "Master, it's not you who should be worried about this, but the Coffin Gate."

"Intercepting business along the way breaks the rules of the Jianghu (martial world). Since they're not following the rules, they've already lost this bet. Why are we in a hurry?"

I was stunned for a moment before saying, "That's right! If they want to continue the bet, they have to invite me back. No rush, let's go back and drink tea, eat melon seeds, and wait for them."

Old Liu was right. At that time, Zi Wan'er and the others were indeed having a headache.

Zi Wan'er didn't say a word when she walked out, but Tian Dan skipped and hopped behind her, not taking the bet seriously at all.

It wasn't until Zi Wan'er brought Lin Zhao over that Tian Dan spoke, "Eldest Sister, why are you looking for Lin Zhao? This bet doesn't need him. As long as Eldest Sister takes action, Li Po and the others will definitely have no chance to fight back."

Zi Wan'er glared at Tian Dan fiercely, as if to say: Lin Zhao is standing right here, are you trying to slap his face?

But Tian Dan didn't seem to notice anything, grabbing Zi Wan'er's arm and acting spoiled, "I know Eldest Sister loves me the most, you wouldn't just watch me lose to Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall), right?"

"What if Li Po makes some excessive demands? What should I do? Eldest Sister, please take action! As long as you take action, that mission will be a piece of cake!"

Zi Wan'er shook her head and said, "You forgot that I can't take action. I also hold a position in the underworld. According to the Yin-Yang Secret Agreement, I can't interfere with the grievances of the human world. If I do, we will immediately be judged as losers."

Tian Dan's face turned pale with fright, "Eldest Sister, don't scare me, what am I going to do if you don't take action? Dabing (Big Cake) is no match for Li Po and the others at all, and there are three Tuifan (Mortal Shedding) experts on their side!"

"Several senior brothers and sisters are all out and haven't returned yet, who can help me if you don't?"

Zi Wan'er shook her head and said, "The eight veins of the Coffin Gate have all returned one after another, and there are many top experts among them. Coupled with the several descendants of 'Mo Bu Gan Dang' (I Dare Not), it's still possible to fight against Li Po."

Zi Wan'er pointed to Lin Zhao and said, "Isn't there a top expert right in front of you? The descendant of the Evil Coffin lineage is an excellent choice, whether in terms of intelligence or skill. If Lin Zhao helps you, you might not lose."

Tian Dan turned her head and said arrogantly, "Lin Zhao, now that your probation period is over, I allow you to join the Coffin Gate. You must do this mission well. If you don't, don't blame the rules of the sect for being merciless."

Zi Wan'er scolded in a low voice, "Xiao Dan (Little Dan), what are you doing? Master has said many times that the eight veins are all brothers and sisters, no one is higher or lower, how can you talk to people like that?"

"We were the main lineage to begin with!" Tian Dan retorted in a low voice before saying, "Lin Zhao, why aren't you saying anything?"
