Chapter 734 - 832: I'll Leave It to You
"Is there really no way at all?" Ye Tianfan asked, "Then how have we been enduring the attacks from that organization every three months?"
Bai Feng, hearing this, replied embarrassedly, "Actually, during the attacks every three months, the final monster doesn't participate at all. It's only that organization's higher-ups and those ordinary monsters! Without the involvement of the final monster, we've managed to hold on until now."
"Moreover, the higher-ups of that organization have almost been cleared out by us. Now, only the top five leaders of the organization remain, but as long as that final monster hasn't appeared, we won't be stable!" Bai Feng said somewhat dejectedly, "And those monsters are all transformed from ordinary people. Outside, the organization's people are wantonly capturing villagers and attacking towns. We know this, and the weapons are helpless about it. At this moment, we no longer have the energy to go out to support and rescue those villagers!"
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan didn't know what to say. The Taichu Sect had done their best, and all the sect's members had also given their all, but there's no help for it—the organization's power is too strong. Even handling the final monster alone is beyond them, let alone the organization's number one leader.
"By the way, how long until the next three-month period?" Ye Tianfan asked. This time, being present, he was determined to reduce the number of casualties!
"Only half a month left!" Bai Feng replied!
Hearing this timeframe, Ye Tianfan fell silent because he knew that in half a month, not many pieces of magical treasure could be crafted, especially with such hard and shock-resistant material like the claws.
Even if they could craft four or five thousand pieces of magical treasure in half a month, the quality couldn't be guaranteed. At that point, Ye Tianfan estimated, forget about rare-level magical treasures, even top-quality ones might not be assured.
Ye Tianfan removed the claws from his back and handed them to Bai Feng, saying, "Bai Feng, I'll leave these claws to you. Craft as many magical treasures as you can, but don't sacrifice quality for speed, okay?"
As Bai Feng received the claws, he was nearly crushed by their weight. They were too heavy, and Bai Feng was merely pushing the claws to keep them from toppling over. Carrying them? No way. Bai Feng thought he would have to be insane to carry something so heavy!
However, Bai Feng could only nod. To ask Bai Feng to give up such valuable material was impossible unless he was killed, because he wouldn't abandon something so precious in his hands.
After entrusting the claws to Bai Feng, Ye Tianfan asked, "Where is my master living? I'd like to visit him!"
Bai Feng heard this and felt a twinge in his heart, because if Ye Tianfan were to seek out Tian Chu Zhenren, it could mean unveiling the truth about the deaths of the brothers from Taiqi Peak, potentially causing Ye Tianfan to fall into madness on the spot.
But Bai Feng didn't have a good solution, as you couldn't very well prevent Ye Tianfan from meeting his own master!
However, Bai Feng thought if he could delay a bit longer, he would. This way, it might lessen Ye Tianfan's fury, at least giving him some time to accept things when he heard the bad news!
"Uh... um..." Bai Feng urgently searched for an excuse, then suddenly glanced at the claws beside him and came up with a good idea. He said to Ye Tianfan, "Tianfan, these claws you gave me are too heavy; I really can't carry them. Why don't you help me carry them back? Once you've done that, I'll take you to find Uncle Tian Chu!"
Hearing this, Ye Tianfan thought for a moment and then said, "Sure, no problem at all!"
After saying that, Ye Tianfan shouldered the claws and then asked Bai Feng, "Where is your Taiqi Peak located now?"
"Come, this way, over here!" Bai Feng replied to Ye Tianfan, then turned around to lead the way!
Seeing Bai Feng leading in front, Ye Tianfan followed from behind with the claws on his back.
"Tell me, Bai Feng, do we have any Demon Sect members among the other peaks of the Taichu Sect?" Ye Tianfan asked from behind, as he had only heard that members of other sects had come to Taichu Sect, banding together against the common enemy, but wasn't sure which sects were involved!
"Well, not really. There was talk of the Demon Sect joining us to fight the enemy together, but the Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, politely declined. Zhang Youji knew that if the Demon Sect came, the Taichu Sect could likely fall into internal conflict even without enemies, as there were many in the righteous path who loathed the Demon Sect. Like the Flower Fairy Sect, where many are orphans left after their families were persecuted by the Demon Sect. If the Demon Sect were to move in, the Flower Fairy Sect would be the first to object, potentially even igniting a conflict against the Demon Sect directly!" Bai Feng explained!
"I see!" Ye Tianfan nodded, "Then where is the Demon Sect? If we leave the Demon Sect as a sole sect outside, it could be easily besieged by people from that organization, and it would be too late to rescue them then!"
"The Demon Sect isn't far from the Taichu Sect. If flying, with my speed, it would take just five minutes. If it were Elder Taichu or Sect Leader, they'd probably get there just as they started, so there's no need to worry!" Bai Feng replied!
"With the Demon Sect living so close, are the people of the Flower Fairy Sect willing?" Ye Tianfan said with a bit of gossip!
"What can they do if they're unwilling? With the great enemy before us, the Demon Sect not moving into the Taichu Sect is already giving the Flower Fairy Sect face. If we demanded the Demon Sect stay far away, it's equivalent to abandoning them! Besides, everyone should put aside personal vendettas now. The Sect Leader said that resentment should be set aside during the time of fighting the common enemy. Any personal grudges should be resolved after the organization's people are dealt with. If anyone dares to engage in internal strife during the collective resistance, they will be dealt with unkindly, with punishment for minor offenses and execution for severe ones!" Bai Feng told Ye Tianfan!
"Elder Taichu is really imposing!" Ye Tianfan said, "In chaotic times, strict laws must be enforced. We can't let the feud between these two sects spark other grudges, or else the Taichu Sect would fall apart before even resisting the organization's attack!"
"Absolutely! Only Elder Taichu can keep everyone in check. Just try swapping in someone else!" Bai Feng said with some pride, "You know, being the number one in the world isn't an empty title!"
