Chapter 931 - 1031: Rendezvous with Senior Brother Yun Tian
Ye Tianfan and four others traveled by sword flight. Speaking of the distance to Xuanzhendong, it wasn't very far from Taichu Sect, but not very close either. It took them a full seven days of flying time, of course, during which Ye Tianfan deliberately slowed down. After all, if Ye Tianfan advanced at full speed, it would only take two minutes to leave those four senior brothers far behind.Moreover, on the way, Ye Tianfan also encountered some Demon Sect cultists. Of course, those Demon Sect cultists did not stop them, but followed them from afar or waited at certain specific places, as if waiting for them. But they only watched Ye Tianfan from a distance and did not block their way or attack them!
Ye Tianfan felt something was off. Those Demon Sect cultists seemed to be monitoring them, wave after wave. Even when Ye Tianfan changed direction three times along the way, he still encountered those Demon Sect cultists waiting in hidden spots. Although they thought they were hiding well, in Ye Tianfan's Divine Sense, they were as bright as stars in the night sky, extremely conspicuous!
Ye Tianfan knew their movements had been exposed, and even their destination was exposed to those Demon Sect cultists. Otherwise, they wouldn't be waiting on the road he was heading, or maybe they were not sure whether he was really going to Xuanzhendong, so they were waiting along the way to confirm it!
However, on this particular day, Ye Tianfan and his companions finally reached the vicinity of Xuanzhendong. After landing, Ye Tianfan jumped onto a high point to overlook the entrance of Xuanzhendong!
As expected by Ye Tianfan, because there was a large number of bones at the entrance of Xuanzhendong, just like the situation when he destroyed the first Dark Four Sacred Beasts plan involving the Dark Cyan Dragon. These bones were not only of fierce beasts and demon beasts but also some humanoid bones!
Seeing these bones, Ye Tianfan breathed a sigh of relief because he feared that the Demon Sect cultists might have already relocated from Xuanzhendong, but it turns out they hadn't. These bones were evidence. In the last plan, the dark breeding beast plan, the Dark Cyan Dragon needed a large amount of blood and flesh to sustain itself, and now with so many bones here, it indicated that this Dark Cyan Dragon wasn't mature yet and still needed a lot of time to nurture it!
While Ye Tianfan was still carefully observing, he suddenly heard a whistling sound from the sky. When everyone looked up, they saw a long beam of light, and around it were seven smaller beams of light.
Ye Tianfan's eyes lit up when he saw these lights, recognizing them instantly. This was Senior Brother Yun Tian arriving, for only his Seven-Star Sword could have this effect!
Seeing that Senior Brother Yun Tian had arrived, Ye Tianfan didn't call out loudly to get his attention. Although their whereabouts had already been discovered by those Demon Sect cultists, calling out loudly wouldbe a blatant provocation, which no one could endure. Ye Tianfan also stopped his four senior brothers from calling out. Instead, he conjured a small fireball in his hand and shot it towards Senior Brother Yun Tian!
This effectively signaled Senior Brother Yun Tian that they were here, and the small fireball Ye Tianfan threw didn't pose any harm; even if it hit someone, it would be like being hit by a paper ball!
Before the fireball even reached Senior Brother Yun Tian, he had already noticed its direction. Carefully observing its trajectory, he saw Ye Tianfan and the others!
Immediately, Senior Brother Yun Tian flew towards Ye Tianfan and the others!
When Senior Brother Yun Tian landed, Ye Tianfan stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Yun Tian, did you find anything?"
The reason Ye Tianfan asked this was because he didn't believe that Senior Brother Yun Tian wouldn't have scouted the area beforehand; after all, they came looking for him and surely Senior Brother Yun Tian would have done some homework beforehand. Otherwise, what was he doing here all this time?
Without pleasantries, Senior Brother Yun Tian went straight to the point, saying, "There's no major discovery. This time their cultivation plan is the same as the last one we encountered, which is using the blood and flesh of numerous demon beasts to sustain that Dark Cyan Dragon. However, I did notice that the speed at which they're supplying has increased over the past few days for some unknown reason!"
"I might know the reason. We've been exposed since the start of our journey, though I'm not sure how. I have a hunch that we were exposed as soon we flew out of Yu Garden City. We encountered at least twenty to thirty waves of Demon Sect cultists along the way. Although they didn't block or attack us, they never stopped monitoring us. Perhaps they sped up because they know that righteous path cultivators like us are coming to fight them," Ye Tianfan analyzed!
After hearing Ye Tianfan's analysis, Senior Brother Yun Tian nodded and said, "It's likely because of that. Knowing that righteous cultivators are coming, and remembering the last time we attacked, they probably fear another failure this time, so they've sped up somewhat."
After hearing Senior Brother Yun Tian's words, Ye Tianfan looked again towards Xuanzhendong. This time, the entrance was different from the first mission. Every twenty meters, there was a post, fortifying the entire Xuanzhendong, so not even a fly could get in.
While Ye Tianfan was observing, Senior Brother Yun Tian greeted the other senior brothers, as they all belonged to the same lineage under Taichu Peak and knew each other, although Senior Brother Yun Tian was not very well-acquainted with them.
"Senior Brother Yun Tian, if we were to force our way in, what would our chances of success be?" Ye Tianfan asked, knowing that sneaking in was no longer realistic given the heavy guard.
Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's question, Senior Brother Yun Tian shook his head and said, "Before you arrived, when I was observing the surroundings, I had thought about this approach. According to my calculations, our chances are very slim if we try to launch a forceful assault. Even if we manage to break in, the people inside will surely be alerted to our attack from outside. Most importantly, this time they won't be as unprepared as the last time, with no restrictions or defenses in place. Obviously, this time they have prepared thoroughly knowing that righteous cultivators would be coming, so it's impossible they would be entirely unprepared."
