Chapter 892 - 992: Leaving After Settling Affairs
Ye Tianfan heard this and nodded, saying: "These are not things to worry about. When the time comes, wherever you decide to settle, I will place you there. Rest assured, the initial stage won't be too difficult for you. You won't lack for food, but when it comes to housing, you'll have to work hard yourselves! There's nothing I can do for you here!"City Lord Ma said gratefully: "Immortal, what are you saying? We're already very grateful that you provide us food, how could we expect more?"
Just as Ye Tianfan was about to say something, Wang Ye suddenly appeared next to him. With a troubled expression, he transmitted his spiritual power to Ye Tianfan and said: "Senior Brother Tianfan, I tested it in the City Lord's Mansion: the speed at which the demonic energy is consumed in these people's bodies, calculating in proportion, it will be exhausted in three to five years. Plus, taking into account the consumption speed of the demonic energy in the air, everyone in the entire Sandy City won't last beyond ten years!"
Ye Tianfan's expression changed upon hearing this, and he hesitated before responding: "If your array could prevent the consumption of demonic energy in the air, how long could it last?"
"Even then, it wouldn't last more than five years. Even if we add five, the maximum would be around fifteen years, but no one will actually reach fifteen; at most eleven or twelve years, and everyone will perish due to the consumption of demonic energy!" Wang Ye said!
"It seems to be their fate!" Ye Tianfan closed his eyes, then opened them again and relayed this matter to City Lord Ma: "City Lord Ma, based on our calculations and tests, the people of Sandy City can live at most fifteen years. After fifteen years, Sandy City will cease to exist!"
"Fifteen years…" City Lord Ma froze upon hearing this; he hadn't expected Sandy City to have only fifteen years of life left!
Ye Tianfan looked at the pained expression of City Lord Ma and continued: "However, in fifteen years, Sandy City doesn't have to be destroyed!"
City Lord Ma heard Ye Tianfan and laughed bitterly, then said: "What's the use of leaving Sandy City? Apart from evoking memories, it serves no purpose!"
Ye Tianfan thought it was true; after fifteen years, what point would there be in coming back? Plus, fifteen years would be enough time for them to settle down in a new place!
By then, they would have new family and friends at the new location, and here there would be nothing but sorrowful memories. So coming here again would be pointless!
Ye Tianfan didn't mind after hearing City Lord Ma's words and turned to Wang Ye: "Then set a twenty-year array. If in fifteen years, no one is left here, then detonate Sandy City early!"
Wang Ye nodded and said: "Alright, I'll set up a twenty-year detonation array; twenty years will be much easier!"
Ye Tianfan nodded and tossed Wang Ye a mid-tier Spirit Stone!
Wang Ye was stunned upon receiving the mid-tier Spirit Stone.
Because, he thought a mid-tier Spirit Stone wasn't necessary for setting a twenty-year array; even for a more complex array, two low-tier Spirit Stones would suffice!
"Senior Brother Tianfan, what's this for?" Wang Ye didn't understand what Ye Tianfan meant. Did he intend for him to use a mid-tier Spirit Stone? Wouldn't that be wasteful!
"It's nothing, just take it. Consider it as your reward for coming every five years!" Ye Tianfan said unconcernedly!
Wang Ye's expression changed upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, and he said: "Senior Brother Tianfan, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me? Do you think I come here every five years just for a mid-tier Spirit Stone? While Pingyue Sect may not be as prosperous as Taichu Sect, it has its pride!"
Ye Tianfan realized Wang Ye misunderstood and hurriedly said: "Junior Brother Wang Ye, you've misunderstood. I don't mean to look down on you. It's just that coming every five years will surely delay your cultivation. This delay is for twenty years. Currently, you're at stage eight of Wanxuan; in twenty years, you could reach stage nine or even stage ten of Wanxuan. However, coming every five years might keep you stuck at stage eight, if luck permits, you might reach stage nine. The mid-tier Spirit Stone is not a costly item, just my token of appreciation. Also, during these twenty years, I may not be able to return here, as I have an important matter to attend to! So, please take care of this side!"
Wang Ye's expression returned upon hearing Ye Tianfan. As long as Ye Tianfan wasn't looking down on him, that was fine. Even if by chance Ye Tianfan looked down on him, Wang Ye couldn't do anything about it, given Ye Tianfan's prowess!
Wang Ye said a little sheepishly: "Seems I misunderstood Senior Brother Tianfan!"
Ye Tianfan shook his head, indicating he wasn't bothered.
"Senior Brother Tianfan, it's getting late, I should go set up the array, and then we can find a new place for the survivors." Wang Ye realized it was late; if he didn't hurry to set up the array, it wouldn't be convenient to help these people find a new place to live tonight. They would have to wait until tomorrow, and camping here wasn't convenient.
"Sure, hurry!" Ye Tianfan nodded, also feeling it was getting late; finishing sooner would bring peace!
By nightfall, Ye Tianfan stood beside a pile of food and said to City Lord Ma: "Alright, these grains are enough for you to eat for most of a year. When they're consumed, it will be up to you to figure things out."
"I really thank the Immortal. Not only have you helped us find a new place, but you also provided us with so much food, I'm truly grateful!" City Lord Ma said!
Actually, the grains were bought by Ye Tianfan from a nearby town after helping them find a new residence, enough for them to eat for half a year.
Ye Tianfan nodded and said: "Since it's like this, I'm off now. The days ahead depend on you!"
Without waiting for City Lord Ma to say anything, Ye Tianfan nodded to Wang Ye and flew away!
Down below, City Lord Ma watched Ye Tianfan's figure, filled with gratitude!
After Ye Tianfan left, Wang Ye also bid farewell to City Lord Ma, as there was nothing more for him to do here, but staying would mean City Lord Ma had to accompany him, which wouldn't allow them to start settling in!
