"The King of Humans only suppressed those beasts and humans back then. Why didn't he kill them?" After thinking for a while, Ye Fan couldn't help but ask, "Since they are bad, wouldn't they be eliminated immediately to avoid future troubles?"
"The Human King is not easy to kill, it has always been like this, and because they cried bitterly and repented, the Human King let them go." After hearing this, Ke replied, and once again kowtowed to the statue of the Human King in front of him.
But after this time of prostrating, the statue changed. The light lit up from the statue. After a short time, the light became so bright that people had to close their eyes.
And when the light faded, a stone was quietly placed there in front of Ke.
"Golden scale stone." Seeing the stone, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly.
Ke picked up the golden scale stone, saluted once again to the statue of the King of Humans, then turned around and waved to Ye Fan, "I'm leaving."
"what your name?"
"My name is Ye Fan." Ye Fan replied and paused, but Ke didn't stay long. After getting Ye Fan's name, he just nodded and walked towards the pool again.
She didn't seem to have many other emotions towards Mark, she just remained polite.
Ye Fan stood on the stage and wanted to ask something else, but when he saw Ke walking away, he couldn't ask.
After she left, the platform fell into silence once again, and Ye Fan also came to the statue of the Human King. He hesitated slightly and did not kneel down, but just bowed.
The light did not appear, indicating that the Human King did not recognize Ye Fan, and Ye Fan was not annoyed. From the conversation with Ke and the conversation with the fellow Taoist a few days ago, he probably already knew what the criteria were for obtaining the Golden Scale Stone.
Apart from the state of mind, this statue values equal treatment and some peace-loving hearts, but Ye Fan cannot do that at the moment.
It's not that he doesn't respect the king, but people are different, and he has his own way of believing in it. Just like the question he asked Ke at the end, when he asked it, he already had the answer.
If it were him, he would definitely fight all the way to the Warcraft King's Capital, kill the Warcraft Emperor who directed all this, and then turn around and chop down the initiator of this human race from his high throne with a sword.
"The best people govern people with virtue, but I am not a saint. I cannot be that noble. What I believe in is only to use violence to control violence and to repay hatred with hatred."
As if giving his answer to the statue of the Human King, Ye Fan saluted again and walked toward the Golden Scale Pond with firm eyes.
After he left, there was a long silence on the platform. Finally, the statue of the Human King seemed to tremble, and a helpless sigh sounded.
…
"Evan is out."
Outside, after waiting for a long time, Ye Fan's figure finally appeared at the entrance of the Golden Scale Pond, and everyone's eyes were focused on it.
"Eternal Two Stars." After seeing Ye Fan's state, the Discipline Elder was slightly stunned, "Have you only advanced to the fourth level?"
This progress was naturally much less than what the elders expected. Everyone seemed to be shocked, including Wu Jingtian and the other three people in the crowd.
Logically speaking, Ye Fan stayed the longest among those who entered the Golden Scale Pond this time, and his progress was much better than the others.
Elder Mingzhi, on the other hand, had a more long-term vision. He looked at Ye Fan and knew that the other party had rejected the substantial improvement of the Golden Scale Pool in order to stabilize his realm. There was no surprise in his eyes and he nodded slightly.
Ye Fan could naturally see the eyes of these people, his expression remained indifferent, and he walked down the steps.
"God, you are a seventeen-year-old eternal-level man, you are awesome." Wu Jingtian came up to greet him first, and without saying a word, he opened his mouth and blew his breath.
Seeing Wu Jingtian's appearance, Chu Tianba and Bai Kui were unable to resist and turned their heads to look to the other side.
"I have perfected the Tao and suppressed the realm." Ye Fan seemed to see the thoughts of several people, said something, and waved his hand.
"Get ready, we should leave tomorrow."
"Are you in such a hurry?" After hearing this, Wu Jingtian was slightly stunned, but he quickly nodded. Chu Tianba and Bai Kui on the side were looking forward to it.
After all, they are not the kind of people who like to practice meditation. After staying in the Mingxin Sect for a long time, they all feel a little boring. Ye Fan's invitation gave them a sense of urgency.
Soon, everyone returned to their residences without staying too long.
Ye Fan also returned, but instead of going to his own residence, he once again came to the residence at No. 5 that day.
The door to the residence is still closed, but there is no token on it, indicating that this house no longer has an owner.
Ye Fan paused at the door, hesitated for a while, and finally pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, a desolate atmosphere came. There was still a fire in the hall, but it had been extinguished long ago. Even the ashes in the fire seemed to have been blown away long ago, leaving only some dry charcoal.
"That fellow Taoist should have used the self-sacrifice method a long time ago." Looking at this slightly dilapidated scene, Ye Fan didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, and a breeze came and swept away the dust that fell in the courtyard.
"Let's just say farewell to our fellow Taoist."
After saying that, Ye Fan came to the table and sat down. He was about to take out the Jiuxian Gourd, but he accidentally saw a letter on the seam of the table.
After being slightly stunned, Ye Fan reached out, picked up the letter, and then opened it. Only a few short sentences were left in the vigorous and powerful handwriting.
"The path of a cultivator is endless, but it's a pity that I have reached the end of my road. My Taoist friend and I hit it off immediately and helped me understand my wish before I left. I guessed that my Taoist friend would come to see me off. I am grateful in my heart and left a letter here."
"If fellow Taoists are in trouble in the future, you can take this letter and go to the Nanhai Supreme Mansion to find my master, Jin Kun. Master loves talents and will definitely be able to protect my fellow Taoists when they are in trouble."
"Those who leave letters will be sealed without limit."
"Feng Wuya, is it Feng from the Eight Great Masters? The origin of Taoist friend turns out to be so extraordinary..." Ye Fan paused while looking at the letter. Then, he just nodded slowly, put the letter away, and then stood up.
, looked around the field, sighed sadly, picked up the wine gourd, and took a sip.
"It's a pity that the journey of fellow Taoists has only come so far. If we can still move forward, wouldn't it be a great experience if we work side by side in the future?"
…
Outside the Mingxin Sect, the young man stepped out, followed closely by three middle-aged and elderly people with gray hair on their temples.
This combination looks a bit weird. It should be three elders protecting the younger ones, but from a distance, it looks like a general with his three lieutenants.
"God, it's a high mountain and a long way to go. Otherwise, let's find an inn on the road to eat and drink, and regain our energy before we set off." Wu Jingtian said, looking at Ye Fan's waist in a leisurely manner.
Jiuxian Gourd.
Warriors like to love spirits. Ever since he accidentally drank the wine from Ye Fan's gourd, Wu Jingtian would make up some excuses almost every time he saw Ye Fan. Today he would occasionally have enlightenment and tomorrow he would lament the impermanence of the world. Anyway, he would pull him.
Ye Fan, let Ye Fan take out the wine from the Jiuxian gourd and take a few sips.
Ye Fan naturally knew what Wu Jingtian was thinking. With a helpless smile on his face, he shook his head, "We don't have much time left, so we have to hurry up."
"The college entrance examination is coming in a few months, and I have only a few months to go to Kyoto. I want to completely pacify Nanchuan and stabilize everything before then."
"Isn't it urgent to spend such a day..." Wu Jingtian replied, but his voice was much softer. On the other hand, Bo Kui beside him expressed doubts, "If you go to Kyoto in the future, why spend so much thought and energy in Nanchuan? Isn't it a bit uncomfortable?
Worth it."
"Nanchuan is only so big, and the foundation is too small after all. If we go to Kyoto, we should be able to use more things..."
"This is different." Ye Fan just shook his head, "We are poor and have nothing, why should we want to gain a foothold in Kyoto where there are so many powerful people."
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Although Nanchuan is remote and backward, as long as it is taken care of well, it will still be a good force in the future."
"Understood." Bo Kui nodded, thought for a while, and then spoke again, "How big of an intelligence force do you need me to help you cultivate?"
"Five thousand, of which four thousand are used as intelligence troops, and another thousand..." After answering, Ye Fan did not continue, but just said: "I will train him as your disciple."
"A thousand disciples?" Bo Kui was stunned, but he could only nod helplessly.
Wu Jingtian and Bai Kui were both nodding. At this moment, they all turned their gazes to Chu Tianba, who was walking beside him.
"Why are you looking at me?" Chu Tianba naturally felt the gazes of the two people and replied, then hesitantly said, "Oh, you have asked, so I will ask too."
After saying this, Chu Tianba paused and looked at Mark with a serious expression.
“God, I’m going to work in Nanchuan. Will food and accommodation be included?”
As soon as these words came out, Wu Jingtian and Bai Kui fell silent, but Ye Fan smiled and waved his hand.
"How can we let these seniors not even have a place to eat and live? Senior Tianba can rest assured about this."
"I, Ye Fan, have always been very generous to my own people."
