864: Chapter 552 864: Chapter 552 Representatives from the Tang Family and the Ye Family discussed cooperation.
During the process, they would occasionally glance at Ye Tian to see if Jiang Tang had any opinions or reactions.
Jiang Tang and Ye Tian made it clear they were only providing technology; they didn’t care much about wealth because they might soon leave the area.
Their talk of leaving led others to speculate that perhaps, after heavenly Immortals descended to help them solve their problems, they would return to the Celestial Court—
Much like how they worshipped the God of Wealth and the Kitchen God every year.
These Immortals would descend to the mortal realm once every year; encountering one would mean great fortune and health!
Having the backing of an Immortal through technological and skills support was far more exciting to them than physical labor.
Their conversation touched upon the fact that all things have a growth process—they were currently organizing the collection of herbs and the production of Pills, which would take some time.
During this time, would the Immortals provide them with technological support?
Perhaps, like the seeds Jiang Tang had scattered earlier that quickly grew into plants, they would be able to quickly gather the needed herbs.
Upon hearing this request, Jiang Tang fell silent.
He had come to provide technological support, not to personally engage in tasks.
The previous night’s help had merely involved letting his pets handle the tasks.
It was not that Jiang Tang was exceptionally lazy; at his level of ability, he didn’t need to act personally.
Naturally, his pets and other people would take action without him needing to lift a finger.
Ye Tian mentioned that he was only creating other technologies, such as machinery, cars, boats, or flying equipment.
He lacked the ability to promote rapid plant growth.
Suddenly, the others felt that the two complemented each other’s capabilities.
Even Immortals had their shortcomings; some abilities they possessed, others they did not.
No human is perfect, and neither are Immortals.
…
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin saw that the Supreme Elixirs on their person might be bought up by others.
The two entrusted their base to their subordinates, wanting to visit another base, feeling a tacit longing for their female disciple there.
They wanted to travel far and specifically tried to contact Jiang Tang but discovered they couldn’t reach him.
This wasn’t the first time it had happened, and initially, they weren’t too concerned—given Jiang Tang’s high level of ability, it wasn’t something they needed to worry about.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin summoned their subordinates to guard the place.
It was complete; as soon as the Saint Master returned, they could officially open.
They instructed the subordinates to wait there, not needing to welcome any guests.
Just seal off the area and activate the Array here.
Unless one was a Mahayana Realm Capable Being, breaking the Formation would be difficult.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin also met with Old General Ye.
They planned to come back after some time and asked him to inform them if he had any news about the Saint Master.
“Sigh, I also haven’t heard from them.
My son Ye Shi and some disciples from the family have been searching for them, but so far, there’s no news about my eldest or Jiang Tang.”
Old General Ye’s situation was known to Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin.
The Saint Master had gone north and lost contact with a few people.
General Ye’s youngest son and his team also went there to investigate, but so far, they couldn’t find any of those people.
Son-in-laws from the Ten Great Families had disappeared in the north, and General Ye had received reports that the Western Wolf Demons had been seen there; they had even clashed.
They feared they had fallen into a trap set by the Western Wolf Demons.
Many had sent people to search and even wished to eradicate these demons.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin knew they were not very powerful; they went to the base to find more capable individuals to help search for the Saint Master.
Their trip back to the base was driven not only by missing their family and female disciple but also by the desire to invite Su Chang’an and other figures to aid in the search.
Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin shared their thoughts, and General Ye felt their approach was right—the more people searching, the more likely they were to uncover the secret behind the disappearances.
General Ye sighed, noting that the major families had already dispatched their elite; they were headed in the direction of the north.
The appearance of the Western Wolf Demons wasn’t just causing the disappearance of their people but had also led to more of these demons entering the country, harming more citizens.
Perhaps more Western fairies would enter our country.
General Ye relayed the message from his son—about the attack capabilities of the Western Wolf Demons and that they moved in packs.
Previously, when they entered our country, they had been transported in wooden crates as human-transformed Western Wolf Demons.
Once they opened these crates inside our country, more demons emerged.
Lai Jianlin felt this resembled ghosts with a control ability—
Much like Ghost Cultivators whose Magical Treasures contained ghosts used to attack others.
It wasn’t just about whether the Western Wolf Demons would harm people;
The fact that they appeared and the Saint Master disappeared might be connected.
Luo Yaxuan also harbored this suspicion.
Speculation here was useless; they needed to go to the scene to see.
They had to search the site for clues.
Hearing about the abilities of the Western Wolf Demons for the first time, they wondered if they could cope?
Maybe they weren’t equipped to deal with a pack of Western Wolf Demons, but could they manage one-on-one?
The Ye Family’s young men had encountered a pack of wolves.
They couldn’t handle it—it was said to be the Western Wolf Demons.
Perhaps their capabilities weren’t much in the Demon Realm, but as a group in our country, they were quite lethal.
