The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 886 - 986: The Lives of the People of Sand City

Wang Ye fell silent for a moment after hearing this. He knew very well that if the Red Moon Demon Pig went all out, it could break the arrays he set up. Even his strongest array might be destroyed by it at full power!Moreover, with Wang Ye's current cultivation level, he couldn't release any high-level arrays. Setting up a profound array would require at least the Baihui Realm's strength.

Furthermore, their Pingyue Sect was a minor sect, and it didn't have many arrays. It was not like the Taichu Sect, which had a variety of arrays suitable for different levels and practical combat.

But even if Wang Ye were to practice arrays in the Taichu Sect, he wouldn't be able to completely trap the Red Moon Demon Pig, because arrays released at the Baihui Realm and below had pitifully small enhancements. Except for some specific arrays, when it came to offensive or defensive arrays, it would be better to directly use magical treasures for attack!

Therefore, Wang Ye really didn't have much confidence in his own arrays.

When Ye Tianfan saw Wang Ye's silent demeanor, he knew that Wang Ye wasn't very confident and that it was very possible the Red Moon Demon Pig might really escape. So he said, "Then, do you know if the Red Moon Demon Pig has any other abilities? What if, after breaking your array, it doesn't flee but instead counterattacks you? Have you thought about this situation?"

Wang Ye was startled after hearing Ye Tianfan's words. Yes, what if the Red Moon Demon Pig counterattacks him?

This Red Moon Demon Pig, in its previous strength, was at least at the Baihui Realm. If it had other means, he really couldn't handle it, since he was only at the seventh or eighth layer of the Wanxuan Realm.

And the Red Moon Demon Pig, even at its worst, once roamed at the Baihui Realm!

"Also, if you kill the Red Moon Demon Pig, then what about the citizens of the entire Sand City? Are they just going to wait slowly to die? Is there really no other way?" Ye Tianfan asked again. The issue Ye Tianfan most wanted to solve was this. As for the Red Moon Demon Pig, Ye Tianfan didn't really dwell on it too much.

Because even if Ye Tianfan and the Red Moon Demon Pig were evenly matched, he could still quickly deal with it. After all, when Ye Tianfan was at the Wanxuan Realm, he could even fight people at the Thousand Source Realm!

After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Wang Ye said with a bitter smile, "There's no saving those civilians; they've already been eroded to the bone, and there's no way to save them!"

Upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Ye Tianfan said, "I know they can't be saved, but they are innocent. Moreover, they can still live normally as long as the Evil Spirit Energy keeps supplying them. They will slowly die of old age just like those who haven't been eroded, the only difference being they won't get sick anymore!"

After all, no disease can survive in the presence of Evil Spirit Energy, or rather, it would be directly assimilated by it! Ye Tianfan didn't say this part out loud.

Wang Ye took a deep breath and then said to Ye Tianfan, "Senior Brother Tianfan, indecision leads to chaos. We really are powerless for these people. If the Red Moon Demon Pig is not dealt with and it escapes, then more civilians will be harmed!"

"So, you're saying the already infected civilians must die?" Ye Tianfan was a little agitated. He knew he was very unsettled, he also understood the Red Moon Demon Pig had to be killed, or else more civilians would suffer. But Ye Tianfan couldn't calm down, because the lives in this city shouldn't just die like this!

Furthermore, Ye Tianfan didn't know how long the civilians could live after this Red Moon Demon Pig was killed, but he was certain it wouldn't be long. Without the external Evil Spirit Energy, they would surely start consuming the Evil Spirit Energy within their bodies. How much they would consume and how, Ye Tianfan didn't really know.

But it's impossible to let them live another hundred years, right? Even five more years would be very mysterious. Moreover, if the reason these people weren't killed by the Evil Spirit Energy was due to the Red Moon Demon Pig's control, then once the Red Moon Demon Pig is dead, the entire Sand City might instantly perish!

Wang Ye painfully closed his eyes. Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact remained: "Yes, those infected civilians can only die to save more people. Senior Brother Tianfan, I don't want this either, I want them to live, but there's no way, really no way, even if a True Immortal from the Heavenly Realm descended, it wouldn't be possible to save them!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianfan sighed deeply. Yes, he was being too naive. There was no way to save them. Perhaps death would be the best relief for them. Even if they didn't die, they would have to be imprisoned in this Sand City, unable to leave. Otherwise, the Evil Spirit Energy inside them would kill other normal people!

Losing freedom might be the most painful thing!

Ye Tianfan carefully thought about it, was it right to want these civilians to live?

Ye Tianfan suddenly recalled a classic problem from another world: a train is running on the tracks, and up ahead is a junction. The other direction leads to an abandoned track, on which a child is playing, whereas ahead on the main track, five children are playing. If you're the train driver, by switching the track, you can save five lives, but at the cost of the child on the abandoned track getting killed!

So what would you do?

Ye Tianfan's current choice was similar. To save the civilians of Sand City, he couldn't kill the Red Moon Demon Pig. But if it escaped, many more cities would suffer under its menace!

But to save more cities, the civilians of this city must first be sacrificed!

Ye Tianfan was in pain but nodded nonetheless.

Wang Ye saw Ye Tianfan nod and walked outside. The priority now was to eliminate the Red Moon Demon Pig to prevent future trouble. After all, the Red Moon Demon Pig started at the Baihui Realm and was very cunning. If it detected Ye Tianfan's arrival, it would definitely flee. Then, eliminating it would become increasingly difficult due to the vastness of the world!
