"Whoever dares to reach out, I'll chop off their claws as well!"
Xiao Yi said with a cold gaze.
For the sake of plotting against the Nangong Family, he had spent a considerable amount of time.
Victory seemed within reach.
At this moment, regardless of who it was, if they dared to meddle, they were destined to end up on Xiao Yi's blacklist. Read exclusive adventures at Freewebnovel
I don't care if you're some Unparalleled War King!
I'll lay them all flat!
"Xiao, do you have a plan?" Nalan Qianqiu and Ning Luo exchanged glances, asking curiously.
Even though Xiao Yi was much younger than them, after the interactions they had had over this period, they were completely convinced by Xiao Yi and looked to him for leadership.
Xiao Yi responded indifferently, "There are still three days left until my bet with Nangong Shengtian... But, we can't idle away these three days!"
"Are you preparing to..."
Nalan Qianqiu looked on with curiosity.
He couldn't think of any strategy that Xiao Yi might have.
After all.
With the push from the Treasure Pavilion, the scandal of the Nangong Family Pharmacy had spread throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
Now the Nangong Family was collapsing, and everyone was eager to push them over.
At this time...
Unless they went to their door, they indeed had no other strategy.
Xiao Yi cracked a sly smile, a playful look in his eyes, "The hermit has his own clever plans!"
Two hours later.
Xiaoshanhe Institute, Shanhe Court.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A dull tolling of a bell sounded, reverberating throughout Imperial Dragon Mountain, the bell's sonorous peals thunderously loud.
The disciples of Xiaoshanhe Institute who were practicing, along with the presiding elders, were all startled: "Is that the bell from the Shanhe Court?"
"Could it be that a task is finally being issued?"
"I've used up all my points, at last a task has come!"
Everyone hastily headed towards the Shanhe Court.
This was the first time a task had been issued since Xiaoshanhe Institute's restructuring.
Both disciples and presiding elders alike rushed towards the Shanhe Court.
The five halls were newly built, and with the strength of the martial artists from Xiaoshanhe Institute, constructing these buildings was a matter of moments. The architecture of the five great halls was not luxurious but very grand and simple.
The entire Shanhe Court was two stories tall.
The first floor was for issuing and accepting tasks.
The second floor was where, after completing tasks, disciples would submit their task completion applications. It was also where the Hall Master, the Vice Hall Masters, and those in charge of the Shanhe Court usually worked.
Almost ten thousand people gathered in the first-floor hall of the Shanhe Court without it feeling crowded, with a ceiling height of thirteen meters. At the top, there hung an eight-sided pillar with a screen made of crystal on each side.
These crystal screens contained an Eighth-layer Formation inscribed personally by Xiao Yi, capable of transmitting task information in real time.
In the future, when there would be more tasks, all eight crystal screens would scroll through task information. If a task had already been completed, it would also be cleared from the screen immediately.
Extremely convenient!
When Xiao Yi first proposed this idea of crystal screens, it had stunned everyone for quite some time.
It was astonishing!
But now...
The Shanhe Court had just opened, and the task information was sparse, just a single entry.
Task 1: The Nangong Family Pharmacy has been selling fake medicines, seeking wealth and causing harm. Those with a conscience, join forces against it!
Task Requirements: Ten people per team, both stewards and disciples may accept this task.
Task Content: Each squad is responsible for one of the Nangong Family Pharmacies, helping those who have been deceived to seek justice and demand compensation!
Task Reward: For each completed task, each member of the squad will be awarded 100 points!
Hiss!
Seeing the rows of bright red text, almost ten thousand people in the Shanhe Court inhaled sharply, their faces flushed with excitement, "They're putting the Nangong Family on the road to doom!"
"Do you even know how to speak? This is clearly about enforcing justice!"
"Whether it's putting oneself in danger or enforcing justice, I only know that every task completed earns you 100 points. If you complete a hundred tasks, isn't that ten thousand points?"
"Move, move, move..."
"I want to receive a task!"
One after another, strong figures stepped forward to receive their tasks.
The method of receiving tasks was also quite peculiar; one simply needed to place their Token on the resonating Stele within the Task Hall, and options for selectable tasks would appear. By adding a chosen task, one could accept the task.
Suddenly,
Nearly ten thousand stewards and disciples had all received their tasks and left the Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Only a group of elders looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces. A Tao Tribulation Realm Peak martial artist from Beast Emperor City grumbled, "The head of the institute is really stingy, only allowing stewards and disciples to take on tasks. This is like free points falling from the sky, and yet we aren't allowed to participate?"
Yu Huaxian gave him a glance.
The strong figure trembled and said with a forced smile, "Vice Hall Master Yu, I was just... just making a casual complaint!"
With the help provided by the special Jade Fetal Elixir given by Xiao Yi, Yu Huaxian had rejuvenated his vigor. Even the beard he had purposefully grown gave him an air of additional dignity. Combined with his status as a Vice Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, even the various elders and stewards held him in high regard.
Yu Huaxian said indifferently, "Don't worry, the head of the institute hasn't planned for you all to be idle."
Swish!
A new task appeared on a crystal screen, a task that only elders could accept—to secretly protect the disciples of the Xiaoshanhe Institute who had gone out.
Each elder could receive a reward of ten thousand points.

This was equivalent to resources worth a hundred million Silver!
Moreover...
The treasures, cultivation techniques, secret manuals, weapons, and even elixirs that could be exchanged for points were all much cheaper than those sold outside. If these ten thousand points were to be sold, they could fetch at least one hundred and fifty million Silver.
Of course.
The points of the Xiaoshanhe Institute were incredibly valuable, and not many were willing to part with them.
The elders accepted the tasks one by one and left the Xiaoshanhe Institute.
Half a day later.
In the capital and its surrounding cities, disciples from the Xiaoshanhe Institute appeared. They either worked alone or in groups to assist the public in returning elixirs to the Nangong Family Pharmacy or demanding compensation.
These disciples were determined to receive their compensation and resorted to all sorts of tactics.
Some spent money to gather crowds, blocking the pharmacy until it was packed.
Others simply began cultivating inside the pharmacy or even sparring for demonstration.
This caused the Nangong Family's pharmacy to be utterly helpless.
Some shopkeepers, unable to bear the pressure, chose to return the elixirs or accept compensation.
Suddenly,
The news of the Nangong Family Pharmacy accepting returns and compensations for their elixirs spread like wildfire, and more and more people chose to return their elixirs and claim compensation, even those who did not suffer any adverse reactions from using the elixirs started returning them.
After all...
Although the prices of elixirs at the Treasure Pavilion had risen, they were still being sold at half price.
There were even some thugs who deliberately consumed poison, claiming to have been poisoned by the Nangong Family's elixirs, and sought compensation.
By now, the Nangong Family was already in a predicament as they were caught with their pants down, unable to clear their name, and no one willing to believe their explanations.
They had no choice but to compensate while gritting their teeth!
This only added to the Nangong Family's snowballing woes!
One by one, the Nangong Family's pharmacies had no alternative but to close down and dodge debts.
One day.
Two days.
Three days...
Within just three days, all of the pharmacies under the Nangong Family's banner had shut their doors.
Under normal circumstances, even if there was no business, it would be impossible for all of the Nangong Family's pharmacies to close down. However, under the impetus of a single task from Xiao Yi, it became the last straw that broke the Nangong Family's back.
"Xiao, all the pharmacies of the Nangong Family within the Great Qian Dynasty have closed down!" Nalan Qianqiu exclaimed excitedly upon finding Xiao Yi.
Gazing at Xiao Yi, his eyes were filled with awe.
It was this young man who, almost single-handedly, had brought down one of the Great Qian Dynasty's four major families in just one month's time!
"They've all closed down?"
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, grinned, his eyes sparkling with a sharp light, "It's finally my turn to take action!"
