"There is indeed some protection," said the Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
"If your sect were really destroyed by a demonic cultivator, our Elders Association would offer a bounty of all the spirit stones you've paid in taxes over the past ten years to whoever eliminates the demonic cultivator or force responsible."
"So, they would certainly think twice before attempting to destroy your sect."
"The Central Continent is much more peaceful now than it was thirty thousand years ago. Truly evil demonic cultivators don't dare to stir up trouble here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan felt a bit more reassured.
"I understand," Xu Fan said, nodding his head.
"That's good, Elder Xu."
"Now that the tax has been collected, I won't bother you any longer."
"Take care."
The Nascent Soul cultivator then made to leave.
"Senior, wait. Junior has one more question," Xu Fan hastily said, having waited so long for this discussion, he wanted to clarify everything.
