The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 903 - 1003: Hearing of Beyond the Wall Again

"You directly exposed your identity, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?" Ye Tianfan asked curiously."Of course I'm afraid, but there's no helping it. In the last incident, our Demon Sect lost too many people. Our Demon Sect isn't like you righteous paths, with such deep foundations, so we can only recruit people ourselves!" the girl in green said.

Ye Tianfan had just been about to ask a few more questions when he suddenly realized: this girl in green said she was from the Demon Sect, not the Demon Sect (Cult). Could it be that the two were actually different?

"Wait a moment, you just said you're from the Demon Sect? Not the Demon Sect (Cult)?" Ye Tianfan asked in puzzlement.

"That's right, I'm from the Demon Sect. Let me introduce myself, I am Qiong Xiao of the Demon Sect! This time I came precisely to find some disciples to bring back! We're not the same as the Demon Sect (Cult)!" the girl in green—Qiong Xiao—said.

"Hmph, not the same?" Ye Tianfan snorted coldly. Although he was a bit curious what kind of Sect this Demon Sect was, it still belonged to the demonic path. To the righteous-path Ye Tianfan, they were all evil: "What difference can there be? Aren't you all evil? Aren't you all only thinking of yourselves and ignoring the common people of the world!"

After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Qiong Xiao smiled and said, "It seems Realman Tianfan has quite the misunderstanding about our Demon Sect! We're not like that hodgepodge of a Sect that the Demon Sect (Cult) is. Our Demon Sect is a very small Sect. We don't widely recruit disciples. We have no great ambitions, we just want to cultivate quietly. We don't do anything that offends heaven or harms reason; we only want to quietly develop."

After listening, Ye Tianfan let out a cold laugh, then said, "Don't say so much, I'm not that interested in hearing it. But if you say you only want to develop quietly, then what is your goal? No matter how quietly you develop, you must have a goal in the end. What is your goal?"

Qiong Xiao smiled and said, "Our goal is to uncover the truth of this entire world."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan was somewhat intrigued and then asked, "Uncover the truth of this entire world? What truth?"

"Outside the Wall!" Qiong Xiao uttered only these two words.

Yet just these two words made Ye Tianfan's face change dramatically in an instant. In his heart he was indeed quite apprehensive about Outside the Wall. After all, Ye Tianfan had experienced battles involving the creatures Outside the Wall. Although that war had merely been triggered by the corpse of a creature Outside the Wall, and even then it was just a small chunk of flesh!

Ye Tianfan gave Qiong Xiao a deep look, then said, "I hope you can accomplish this. Also, a friendly reminder: research is research, but if you harbor delusions of dragging the Inside of the Wall into it, everyone will become your enemy!"

Qiong Xiao said with a smile, "Of course, we don't want to be enemies with the entire world. We only wish to know the truth of Outside the Wall, their origins, the reason they came into being, that's all!"

Ye Tianfan once again gave Qiong Xiao a deep look, then turned and left.

Since he already knew their objective, there was no point in staying here to watch the show. After all, next up these people of the Demon Sect would be recruiting disciples. If he stayed here watching, he would just get more and more annoyed!

After all, he had no way to stop them. These villagers had already placed their trust in this Qiong Xiao, and what was more, he really hadn't heard of them doing anything particularly dangerous. All the rumors spoke of which hall of the Demon Sect (Cult) had done what, but there were no rumors about them, so Ye Tianfan still had a bit of trust in them!

So Ye Tianfan returned to the inn where he had been resting earlier, ordered some good dishes and wine, and after the waiter finished serving the dishes, Ye Tianfan tipped him quite a bit.

Amid the waiter's words of thanks, Ye Tianfan said, "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. So, about the Immortal Sect recruiting disciples this afternoon—are you going?"

Ye Tianfan was idle anyway, so he simply chatted with the waiter, planning to see how the waiter viewed this matter.

"Sir, what are you saying? I'd very much like to go, but earlier, when I was helping in the kitchen, I slaughtered several chickens and ducks, so this time when the Immortal is widely recruiting disciples, I have no fate with that Immortal chance!" the waiter said sadly. The waiter had never imagined that just by helping out in the kitchen he would end up missing this Immortal fate!

"Is that so? Then you never thought of just going anyway? After all, no one knows you killed chickens and ducks, right? As long as your Shopkeeper and the cook don't say anything, no one will know!" Ye Tianfan said with a smile.

"I wouldn't dare deceive an Immortal. Deceiving an Immortal would bring heavenly punishment. If I were discovered by an Immortal, wouldn't I be unable to stay in this small town anymore!" The waiter immediately expressed that he absolutely could not deceive an Immortal. After all, he was just an ordinary person. If he really deceived an Immortal, the Shopkeeper would probably fire him on the spot, and no one in the entire town would hire him again!

After hearing the waiter's words, Ye Tianfan smiled. He hadn't expected there to still be such a pure person. If it were someone a bit more cunning, they would definitely collude with the Shopkeeper to deceive the Immortal together, and if they actually managed to become a disciple of an Immortal Sect, later on they could give some small benefits to the Shopkeeper and the others—wouldn't that be wonderful.

"Aren't you afraid that so-called Immortal is a fraud?" Ye Tianfan asked.

"How can you say such things, sir?" After hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the waiter immediately became unhappy. He knew that even though the guest was a Celestial Immortal and needed to be flattered, one still couldn't slander people like this—let alone slander an Immortal!

"You must know that not long ago, the Demon Beast trouble around here was very serious. They didn't just bite many of our fowl to death; they even injured several people. It was this Immortal who helped us resolve this Demon Beast incident, bringing peace back to our Jiaohui Town. And most importantly, he is widely recruiting disciples here and helping our small town set up an Array so Demon Beasts won't invade again. How could he be deceiving us? Even if he was deceiving us, what could he deceive us of? We have nothing at all. Even if an Immortal wanted to cheat us of our belongings, we have nothing!" the waiter said angrily.

After hearing the waiter's words, Ye Tianfan frowned slightly. It seemed the people of this small town had already been brainwashed by this Qiong Xiao. What a good tactic—just a few petty favors had bought over everyone here. Truly worthy of a demonic-path cultivator, a master at toying with people's emotions!

What Ye Tianfan didn't know was that what, to him, counted as mere petty favors, were, to these mortals, favors concerning their lives and livelihoods.

It looked like he had to hurry up and leave. Only once he left this place early would these people of the Demon Sect reveal their true intentions!
