Chapter 644 - 744: Deeply Troubled
"But isn't this very unfair?" Ye Tianfan felt a bit uncomfortable.
Because he could easily guess the fate of the disciples not in the seed plan: they would desperately fight for the Taichu Sect to protect it and themselves. This made Ye Tianfan feel uneasy because he realized that being part of the seed plan, his senior brother and others likely weren't. If an irresistible catastrophe befell the Taichu Sect, his senior brother and others might sacrifice their lives to ensure his survival.
"Everything is for the legacy!" Tian Chu Zhenren also spoke with heaviness, "If possible, the Taichu Sect would not abandon any disciple, but when unable to ensure the safety of all disciples, protecting those with high talent and good temperament is the best choice. This is not only the choice of the Taichu Sect; other sects would make the same decision, so..."
Tian Chu Zhenren didn't finish his words, but Ye Tianfan already understood his meaning. Ye Tianfan didn't feel the least bit honored, only the overwhelming pressure. That's the kind, in an emergency, where all disciples of the Taichu Sect would face the enemy head-on, and even sacrifice their lives to ensure his survival.
Ye Tianfan fell silent; he didn't know if he should join the war. Because if he did, many would risk their lives to save him. Even if they had a chance to survive, they would give it to Ye Tianfan.
Because Ye Tianfan knew that if he went to the battlefield, the leaders of other peaks would definitely instruct their disciples to take extra care of him, even at the cost of their lives.
It's not that Ye Tianfan was self-obsessed; it was a fact because his talent was so extraordinary that he advanced to the second level of Qian Yuan in three or four years, which was unimaginable.
Before Ye Tianfan appeared, who dared to think of such a thing?
Even the most talented in the world, the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji, only reached the third or fourth level of Wanxuan in three years.
No matter your talent, you still need to progress step by step, but Ye Tianfan was different. His personal insight was already high. Even though the martial arts level from his original world wasn't very high, cultivating the heart isn't about the level of the world. Thus, Ye Tianfan's heart is very resilient, enough to support him to the fifth or sixth level of Qian Yuan.
Even if Ye Tianfan's strength reached the fifth or sixth level of Qian Yuan, with his insight accumulated over twenty-something years, he would not remain stuck for long.
Although Ye Tianfan's cultivation speed would slow down significantly by then, he would still progress faster than anyone else in the entire cultivation world.
At this moment, Ye Tianfan was truly hesitating whether to go to the battlefield. Tian Chu Zhenren had already agreed to let Ye Tianfan join the battle, but Ye Tianfan didn't want others to die because of him.
Considering the enemy's power, this time the Avengers Alliance would suffer heavy casualties, and Ye Tianfan wasn't particularly strong against the enemies, akin to a bigger mouse. So if Ye Tianfan went to the front, he would surely be specifically targeted, with a one hundred percent chance of death.
Then, if someone sacrificed themselves to save Ye Tianfan, especially repeatedly, Ye Tianfan felt he might break down.
People are like that.
When Ye Tianfan wanted to join the war, Tian Chu Zhenren didn't want him to participate.
But when Tian Chu Zhenren finally allowed it, Ye Tianfan hesitated, as joining would undoubtedly mean many would die for him—whether they could have survived or not, they would die for Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan looked at Tian Chu Zhenren with hesitation, feeling at a loss.
At this moment, Tian Chu Zhenren smiled, then said to Ye Tianfan, "I told you those things not to frighten you. I agreed to your participation in the war, but it's for you to decide. Those words were just to let you understand the true nature of this conflict. Maybe you said you wanted to join only out of enthusiasm, without knowing the specifics of our adversaries. But as your master, I must ensure you know exactly who we're up against and how powerful our enemies are."
"I know you're hesitating, so there's no rush. When you've made up your mind, let me know; it's not too late. Actually, deep inside, I still hope you won't join this war because you haven't fully matured yet. And perhaps you'll have another chance to fight this organization in the future!" Tian Chu Zhenren said.
Ye Tianfan, hearing this, looked at Tian Chu Zhenren doubtfully, unable to understand why he spoke this way.
"Do you know? Five hundred years ago, we already eliminated this organization once, and I was the one who killed the last of them. But what happened? Five hundred years later, they're resurfacing, and judging by their current development, they may have reappeared one or two hundred years ago, only we didn't notice. This means they weren't completely wiped out five hundred years ago, or perhaps they were never fully exposed. It seems they currently have a secret base lying in wait for a future emergence. When that time comes, you've grown stronger, and that will be the best moment for you to join the war," Tian Chu Zhenren said.
Listening to this, Ye Tianfan remained silent for a long time before deciding resolutely. He looked at Tian Chu Zhenren and said, "Master, forgive me for being unfilial, but I will still participate in this war."
Tian Chu Zhenren sighed deeply upon hearing this, then said, "It's okay, I respect your decision!"
"But Master, I won't confront them head-on on the battlefield!" Ye Tianfan said.
"Not facing them head-on? Then what do you plan to do?" Tian Chu Zhenren asked, relieved for some unknown reason. Avoiding direct confrontation on the battlefield significantly increased the chances of survival.
"I plan to attack them from the rear, while those fighting on the front engage their attention. I'll lead a group from behind, strike directly at their headquarters, and eliminate their leaders. Perhaps after executing their leadership, the situation will simplify greatly," Ye Tianfan said.
Listening to Ye Tianfan's idea, Tian Chu Zhenren nodded in agreement; it was indeed a good strategy: take down the leader to topple the bandits!
