The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 883 - 983: Wang Ye of the Pingyue Sect

Although the surrounding area is also desert, there are still some plants existing. If the Red Moon Demon Pig really appeared, these plants would have already withered away and turned to dust, and there wouldn't be any green in a hundred-mile radius!Regardless of whether this demon beast is truly the Red Moon Demon Pig, Ye Tianfan will take it seriously. After all, this demon beast, even if it isn't the Red Moon Demon Pig, is capable of eroding the entire town's people—this alone proves that this demon beast is not one of those that only engage in slaughter!

However, Ye Tianfan doesn't think much of this demon beast's power. Being injured by a cultivator of the seventh or eighth tier of Wanxuan below proves that this demon beast's strength isn't particularly formidable; it is merely adequate!

Still, the stealth ability of this demon beast is indeed strong. Otherwise, not only would the cultivator below fail to locate it, but Ye Tianfan would also be unable to trace the demon beast using divine sense!

Meanwhile, the conversation below continues!

"Immortal, why don't you take us and escape? The people in this city are beyond salvation; you said they've been pervaded by some kind of evil spirit that has seeped into their bones, making rescue impossible. Instead of wasting time here, you'd better first take those of us who haven't been affected and leave!"

"Know that the City Lord's Mansion isn't just housing us; there are dozens of unaffected common folk!" the city lord spoke.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan realized that the gatekeeper previously mentioned someone claiming to be an immortal who came to help them—but turned out to be a fraud. It was likely a rumor spread by the city lord because that person wasn't a fraud; they genuinely protected them, albeit only a few people—those in the City Lord's Mansion along with dozens of citizens.

The gatekeeper also said the city lord was angry and refusing guests, indicating that no outsiders are allowed into the City Lord's Mansion. All those outside the mansion have already been infected, and allowing someone in, if they were controlled by the Red Moon Demon Pig and erupted with evil spirit inside the mansion, everyone there would get infected!

However, this unknown cultivator seems quite skilled in array formation—or at least in Ye Tianfan's opinion, since Ye Tianfan doesn't know anything about it. Yet, this cultivator can release such array formations, and it seems stable!

Perhaps later I can discuss the ideas I've had with him and see if he can achieve that effect. If successful, we could establish an isolation layer encircling this sand city, and around that, a circle of townships—ensuring survival within the array while preventing accidental entries!

Ye Tianfan had already envisioned the outer circle named Outer Sand City, while the original sand city isolated by the array would be Inner Sand City, and establishing a trading post within the isolation layer.

This way, the people inside can earn some food through handicraft, while those outside can exchange food for handcrafted goods. Ideally, a purification array should be established at the trading post to cleanse the handicraft items from Inner Sand City to prevent the evil spirit from being taken out via the crafts!

And non-living things aren't as easily corroded as living things are! Furthermore, the essence of lifeless things is much easier to extract compared to living beings—simple and direct!

"Even if you wish to leave now, it's tough, for the Red Moon Demon Pig is already fixated on us. I can only hold off the Red Moon Demon Pig; if he manipulates other citizens against you, then I'll have no means of defense!" the cultivator below spoke.

"Are we just supposed to wait here and die?" City Lord Ma exclaimed anxiously. The last few citizens of Sand City are the seeds of Sand City; as long as they're present, Sand City could be reconstructed back from Sand Village. But presently, even the seeds can't be scattered, leaving Sand City without a chance for rebuilding!

This prompted City Lord Ma to appear very anxious!

"Immortal, could you take them out one by one? This way, even if the Red Moon Demon Pig attacks, you wouldn't need to mind him. Just focus on rescuing the people!" City Lord Ma recommended another plan.

When the cultivator heard this, he shook his head and replied, "This plan won't work. If I leave, the Red Moon Demon Pig will surely attack the City Lord's Mansion—then who will protect it? The array formation only repels evil spirit; it doesn't prevent people from entering. It's precisely because I'm here that the Red Flame Demon Pig hasn't attacked directly. If I leave, the Red Moon Demon Pig will definitely come!"

Witnessing this, Ye Tianfan decided to meet with the cultivator. After all, this cultivator remained behind in such circumstances, which is rare—he is truly a good person. Ye Tianfan resolved to meet him!

With a swift motion, Ye Tianfan appeared directly within the room below!

"Who's there? Who are you?"

Due to Ye Tianfan's appearance right beside the cultivator, the cultivator didn't notice him initially; however, City Lord Ma opposing him spotted Ye Tianfan instantly, shouting in alarm.

It's only natural for anyone to be startled by someone suddenly appearing before them—hence City Lord Ma's alarm!

After hearing City Lord Ma's cry of panic, the cultivator quickly turned and looked beside him. Seeing Ye Tianfan, he exclaimed with delight, "It's you!"

Seeing this reaction from the cultivator, Ye Tianfan felt puzzled. Why does he appear happy to see him?

"Do you know me?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously!

"Certainly, Celestial Master Tianfan from Taichu Sect—a name known amongst our younger generation by everyone!" the cultivator spoke respectfully!

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Ye Tianfan scratched his head bashfully before saying, "Well, you know me, but I don't know you—that's quite unfair!"

"My oversight; I didn't get the chance to introduce myself!" the cultivator said, bowing deeply toward Ye Tianfan before declaring, "I am Wang Ye from Pingyue Sect; I pay respects to Senior Brother Tianfan!"
