Senior Brother Yun Tian smiled after hearing this and said, "If you were on the arena with your current strength, I wouldn't be your match now."

Everyone was startled upon hearing this. What's going on? Why did Senior Brother Yun Tian say that?

"Haven't you discovered yet?" Senior Brother Yun Tian glanced at everyone and, seeing their still puzzled expressions, said, "Haven't you noticed that Junior Brother Tianfan has already reached the Thousand Source Realm?"

"What? Thousand Source?"

"Thousand Source? No way, during the Nine Veins Martial Meet, wasn't he still at the seventh or eighth level of the Myriad Mystics?"

"Exactly! How did he suddenly reach the Thousand Source Realm? Senior Brother Yun Tian, are you sensing it wrong?"

But Bai Feng and Lu Waner, who had interacted with Ye Tianfan, were utterly shocked as they looked at him. Truly shocked, considering how short the time had been since the Nine Veins Martial Meet, and Ye Tianfan had already jumped two levels and directly reached the Thousand Source Realm.

"Tianfan, have you really reached the Thousand Source Realm?" Bai Feng asked, eyes wide open.

And Lu Waner, standing nearby, looked at Ye Tianfan in shock, thinking that just recently, during the Nine Veins Martial Meet, Ye Tianfan (in her opinion) matched her evenly, and now he could effortlessly defeat her?

"Recently, I had some fortunate encounters, so I accidentally rose to the Thousand Source Realm. Just a stroke of luck!" Ye Tianfan said humbly.

"Hiss!" Bai Feng took a deep breath after confirming it from Ye Tianfan, but then thought of Ye Tianfan's profound luck and could only smile wryly while shaking his head.

It seems I must work harder; Ye Tianfan has left me far behind. I once was confident in having an even match with him, but now it's almost certain I'd get defeated instantly.

If there's a sudden change this time, wouldn't I and the others just become burdens?

After everyone's shock subsided, Senior Brother Yun Tian began introducing them to Ye Tianfan.

"This is Junior Brother Li Ming from Taijin Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Li Ming!" Ye Tianfan greeted Li Ming.

"This is Junior Brother Ling Yao from Tailin Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Ling Yao!" Ye Tianfan greeted Ling Yao.

"This is Junior Brother Wooden Barrel from Taishui Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Wooden Barrel!" Ye Tianfan greeted Wooden Barrel.

"This is Junior Brother Earth Clod from Taitian Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Earth Clod!" Ye Tianfan greeted Earth Clod.

"This is Junior Brother Bai Feng from Taiqi Peak; you should be quite familiar with him!"

"Indeed, very familiar with Senior Brother Bai Feng!" Ye Tianfan said, looking at Bai Feng, recalling how he accidentally revealed the storage function of the Xuanhuang Tower.

"This is Junior Sister Lu Waner from Taiyi Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lu Waner!" Ye Tianfan greeted Lu Waner.

"And finally, this is Junior Brother Array Diagram Eight from Taizhen Peak."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Array Diagram Eight!" Ye Tianfan greeted Array Diagram Eight.

"Once we reach Copper Gong Town, we'll first look for survivors. Three people will stay behind to protect them, with Junior Brother Array Diagram Eight setting up an Array. Then, three people led by Array Diagram Eight will maintain the Array while we go out to look for clues to see if we can find anything," Senior Brother Yun Tian started assigning tasks after everyone had gotten acquainted.

"Understood!" X8

Everyone felt the task distribution was reasonable, so no one questioned it.

In the blink of an eye, they covered hundreds of kilometers.

Upon seeing the tragic state of Copper Gong Town below, Senior Brother Yun Tian could imagine how miserable it must have been before the Taichu Sect noticed the anomaly.

But now that they were here, they would no longer let the survivors face harm.

"According to that Junior Brother from Taiyi Peak, he arranged the survivors at a small manor in the northern part of Copper Gong Town. Let's go check it out," Senior Brother Yun Tian said, leading the flight to the northern part of Copper Gong Town.

When the group arrived above the manor, they saw the manor described by the Taiyi Peak disciple. It was packed with people, wall-to-wall, person-to-person. The manor wasn't large, but it had walls all around, and the survivors were quiet and calm.

As Ye Tianfan and the others arrived, the survivors below were just beginning to distribute food. The survivors were orderly in receiving food, without noise; they spoke quietly, as if they feared being loud.

As Ye Tianfan and his group flew down, the survivors noticed them. Though excited, they didn't raise their voices, instead waving their arms towards the group in jubilant acknowledgment.

Seeing this, Senior Brother Yun Tian's eyes filled with pity.

"What a hard life these survivors have! Array Diagram Eight, set up an Array to isolate them from the outside world, ensuring the undead outside can't harm them. Remember to make the Array larger, so they don't feel cramped," Senior Brother Yun Tian instructed.

"Understood!" Array Diagram Eight nodded, took out a dozen flags from his pocket, tossed them down, and began casting spells.

Seeing Array Diagram Eight's actions, Senior Brother Yun Tian gestured for everyone else to land.

The survivors were thrilled as Ye Tianfan and the others landed, and some clever ones even went to fetch the town mayor.

Once Ye Tianfan and his team landed, an elderly man came up, kneeling and kowtowing to the group, saying, "Immortal Grandmasters, you're finally here. I am Chen Haolan, the mayor of Copper Gong Town. On behalf of all the townspeople, I sincerely thank you."

Seeing their mayor kneeling, the survivors quickly followed suit.

"What are you doing? Please rise quickly!" Senior Brother Yun Tian hurriedly helped the mayor up, then addressed the townspeople, "Please rise; we are here under the command of the Taichu Sect Leader to assist you! There's no need for such formality!"

As the survivors rose, Array Diagram Eight also descended from above.

"Senior Brother Yun Tian, the Array is set up. Within a kilometer radius, it ensures complete safety unless those ghouls have strength above the seventh level of Myriad Mystics; otherwise, they can't break through."

Senior Brother Yun Tian nodded at this, then addressed the survivors.
