Chapter 544 - 644: Journey to Heaven-Reaching Town
"So, what are your great insights?" One of the sitting Elders spoke up, and the others also turned their gaze towards Ye Tianfan.
Their eyes did not show any disdain or look down upon Ye Tianfan due to his youth; they only had expectations in their eyes.
Of course, if what Ye Tianfan said turned out to be nonsense, they would completely change their attitude towards him.
"The world is vast, and those common people can't fly. If we really rely on traveling, it might take decades or even a century, and some might even die of old age on the way. So the common people we truly need to deal with are those in Heaven-Reaching Town and the surrounding areas. If we resolve the issue quickly, we will face fewer common people," Ye Tianfan said. "So we just need to get there as soon as possible, then dispatch some disciples from each sect to guard the entrances and exits around Heaven-Reaching Town to prevent common people from entering; thus, the number of common people we face will be reduced."
The people present exchanged glances upon hearing Ye Tianfan's strategy and saw the appreciation in each other's eyes.
"Brilliant, this method is brilliant, so let's not hold a meeting anymore. Let's quickly pack up and set off for Heaven-Reaching Town. After the disciples from each sect guard the entrances and exits, we can discuss how to deal with those people. Besides, we can discuss this matter on the way!" One of the Elders said.
The Leader of the Cultivation Relay Station also appreciated Ye Tianfan's words greatly. If he still controlled the Cultivation Relay Station now, he could just send another message saying the previous news of immortality was fake, and about 99% of people would choose not to go. Only the 1% who considered themselves clever would still go, but at that point, they could deal with the members of that organization without worrying about common people.
However, the current leader of the relay station is practically disabled. If the people from that organization are not eliminated, it would take who knows how many years for the relay station leader to regain control of the Cultivation Relay Station. And even the station headquarters is closed off to him, completely excluded, not knowing how those organization people managed to deal with the relay station's higher-ups.
No one dared to delay any further; they quickly returned to prepare for departure to Heaven-Reaching Town. Not everyone needed to go, only half of those with Elder status would go, while most disciples, except for those with higher power, stayed behind because the Evil Qi there still required people.
Therefore, they traveled light and moved quickly.
Ye Tianfan also returned to pack up, but there wasn't much to pack. After half an hour, Ye Tianfan arrived at the gathering spot. This time, Tian Chuzhen wouldn't go, as he had to stay and oversee the overall situation in Copper Gong Town. Only Tian Chu Zhenren would accompany them. However, Tian Chuzhen mentioned that if the task in Copper Gong Town were completed and they still hadn't finished over there, they would go to provide support.
Disciples from each sect were also being sent to Heaven-Reaching Town, while the Max Gate, relatively closer to Heaven-Reaching Town, had already sent two Elders to manage the situation. Upon Tian Chu Zhenren's team's arrival, the authority would be transferred back to them.
By this time, Ye Tianfan and the others were already rushing on their way, regardless of other things, they focused on maximizing speed, with enough pills to sustain the Spiritual Power. The Elders' powers varied, so they were divided into three groups. The first group rushed ahead at maximum speed to cooperate with the two Elders of the Max Gate and recover some Spiritual Power and gather information. The second group of Elders, upon arrival, would recover Spiritual Power and start looking for accommodation, essentially responsible for camp setup.
The third group of Elders was in charge of leading this generation of disciples, including Ye Tianfan, to accompany them.
Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming gap in realm, Ye Tianfan was in the third group. No matter how much Ye Tianfan accelerated, he still couldn't see even the tail lights of the second group's Elders'... no, the light of their sword tails.
However, Ye Tianfan accepted it since his power was where it was, so he adjusted to the pace and flew with them at an even speed.
Meanwhile, in a basement in Heaven-Reaching Town.
"How is it? How is your experiment going?" A black-clad man asked a little girl conducting an experiment on a lab table.
"Don't worry, Brother Yang, this experiment is going quite well. Although we were forced to flee last time after being discovered, the experiment has made significant progress. Here, take a look!" The little girl said with a smile, inviting Brother Yang to look at the body on the lab table.
Black-clad Brother Yang looked from left to right, up and down, but saw nothing remarkable, so he asked, "What? What's so special about this corpse?"
"Corpse? No, no, Brother Yang, this is not a corpse!" The little girl gestured and said, pointing to the body on the lab table, "He has enough Evil Qi to contaminate the entire Heaven-Reaching Town, and he has developed self-awareness, meaning our Earth Evil Soldier plan has succeeded!"
"What? Guang Meili, you mean our plan succeeded?" Brother Yang excitedly grasped Guang Meili's shoulders with both hands and said.
"Brother Yang, you're hurting me!" Guang Meili frowned slightly, a little displeased.
Upon hearing this, Brother Yang quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Meili, I got too excited. Is it true? Did we really succeed?"
"Success, sort of. Failure, sort of!" Guang Meili said, frowning.
"What do you mean?" Brother Yang was puzzled, unsure if it was successful!
"Although we succeeded, the amount of Evil Qi required is too great. It takes enough to contaminate the entire Heaven-Reaching Town to produce just one Earth Evil Soldier, and this soldier's power is only in the Baihui realm! Not only that, it takes the blood essence of ten thousand people to fully refine this one Earth Evil Soldier. So, if we want to achieve our desired effect, we either need to make further improvements or go to the outer regions in the Extreme Western Lands, where the Evil Qi is overwhelmingly abundant," Guang Meili said, her eyes gleaming with longing for the outer regions.
"Outer regions?" Brother Yang hesitated after hearing the term and then said to Yang Meili, "Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"
