"What are you imagining?" The Demon Sect Leader, Zhang Youji, clearly saw Ye Tianfan was thinking about something nonsensical in his head. After a brief consideration, he knew what Ye Tianfan was thinking about.

"Do you believe I took them all down?" Zhang Youji chuckled as he spoke.

"Isn't that the case? Otherwise, how could you come out unscathed?" Ye Tianfan was cautiously on guard, as if he were up against a primordial beast.

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji laughed, then his expression turned sinister as he said, "You're right, but what can you do about it?"

Simultaneously, Zhang Youji strongly pressured Ye Tianfan with his presence.

At that moment, Ye Tianfan felt as if a giant mountain was crushing down on him, as though he were at the core of the mountain, surrounded by rocks, unable to move.

Cold sweat trickled down Ye Tianfan's face, and he forced himself to hypnotize, move, move, quickly move.

But it was of no use; Ye Tianfan couldn't move even a finger, not even blink, as cold sweat dripped into his eyes, making them sting.

Just as Ye Tianfan was in despair, Zhang Youji suddenly withdrew his presence and laughed as he said, "Alright, stop teasing you. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Real One Zhichu."

After saying that, Zhang Youji stood up, patted his backside, and wanted to leave.

However, out of nowhere, courage welled up in Ye Tianfan, and he stepped forward to stop Zhang Youji.

"Why did you come here?" Ye Tianfan asked sternly.

"Alright, let me explain it to you!" Zhang Youji said reluctantly.

Zhang Youji said to Ye Tianfan, "Do you really think such a grave matter is just a righteous way affair?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Tianfan looked at Zhang Youji with confusion.

"This sort of matter that affects the world's safety doesn't only concern your righteous way; it affects us in the demonic way too." Zhang Youji explained to Ye Tianfan, "You see, Evil Qi is effectively a third-party force, and our battle between righteousness and demonic ways, no matter how fierce, is exclusively between us. Evil Qi, however, erodes both, and although demons are called demons, they have nothing to do with the demonic way. They are true demons, tasked with killing everything before them.

If it were ordinary Evil Qi or just one or two demons, our demonic way wouldn't intervene, but now the whole town is corrupted by Evil Qi, which is man-made, making the issue severe. Any slight mistake here could affect the entire world.

If the world truly ends, then the righteous and demonic ways would cease to exist, do you get it?"

Ye Tianfan knew Zhang Youji was right, yet he still watched him warily, after all, wasn't he still a man of the demonic way?

"If that's the case, then why don't you show up during the day..." Ye Tianfan didn't finish his question before realizing he'd asked a silly question.

Seeing Ye Tianfan's realization, Zhang Youji also smiled but said nothing, turning to leave.

Ye Tianfan watched Zhang Youji's departing figure, maintaining his vigilance, despite the convincing words, he still needed verification.

Ye Tianfan went outside the main tent, and upon hearing voices inside, he finally relaxed, realizing Zhang Youji hadn't been lying.

Ye Tianfan turned away from the main tent area, returning to his own tent. Lying on the bed, he was no longer in dire need of rest, feeling quite energized, although still somewhat longing for Qin Ruomeng and Long Yuqing.

He wondered how his sudden departure affected them, and what impact his absence might have on that world.

Ye Tianfan was clueless about these things, having to slowly reassure himself that the flow speeds of the two worlds differed. As long as he worked hard to reach the Primordial Realm, he could return home.

Unknowingly, under such thoughts, Ye Tianfan fell asleep, although he was very alert, the shift in focus led to him drifting off.

When Ye Tianfan woke up again, it was dawn, and after leaving his tent to eat breakfast, he went to the place earlier told by Senior Brother Yun Tian.

Upon arrival, he saw Senior Brother Yun Tian was already there, and stood by his side, glancing at the others. In a whisper, Ye Tianfan asked Senior Brother Yun Tian, "Are all these people the ones headed into Copper Gong Town for exploration?"

Senior Brother Yun Tian nodded, whispering back to Ye Tianfan, "Yes, they all are, although some have yet to arrive."

Ye Tianfan nodded, thinking internally, no wonder, no wonder none of the people here were of the Wanxuan Realm, mostly Thousand Source Realm, some even Hundred Convergence Realm.

However, Ye Tianfan wasn't aware of those who hadn't yet come. Observing the crowd, he sensed this task wouldn't be easy, given all were key figures cultivated in their respective sects.

Ye Tianfan didn't wait long before many people arrived in succession.

He watched each arrival, realizing his strength neither ranked lowest nor highest, landing somewhere below average.

Nevertheless, he didn't know despite these being sect elites, they had been cultivating for about a century or two, in terms of time.

Ye Tianfan ranked top, with Senior Brother Yun Tian coming second.

But at present, strength was crucial, potential didn't equal power.

At this moment, Ye Tianfan saw Real One Zhichu and several other sect elders approaching.

"Is everyone here?" one beside Real One Zhichu called upon arrival.

The crowd glanced around, but since most were strangers, they couldn't tell who was present or absent.

Real One Zhichu spoke then, "I took a close look, the number is adequate, so next, prepare a bit, and once the sun fully rises, you may commence."
