Chapter 159: Chapter 158 Preparation (2)

Li Xiaofei exclaimed, "Sect Master, you have to understand, not only does our sect have a hundred thousand disciples who need elixirs, but we also have to refine elixirs for the merchants and auction houses. The Alchemy Hall is small, and we don’t have enough people!"

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "Xiao Fei, our sect currently owns vast lands spanning thousands of miles. You can freely choose a mountain as the place for refining elixirs. You can also select disciples from both the inner and outer sects for the Alchemy Hall. Do you still think there’s a problem?"

Li Xiaofei spread his hands, helplessly saying, "Since that’s the case, the Alchemy Hall will take on this formidable task then..."

Yan Rufeng arranged all the sect’s affairs, then came to the inner part of the sect.

In a courtyard, two toddlers were chasing each other.

A little girl stopped, pouting and said in a sweet voice, "Brother, don’t run so fast, I can’t catch up to you."

"Hehehe!"

"Jingjing, remember, only if you catch brother, you can have some candy."

"But I can’t catch you."

"Hehe..."

"Then there’s no candy for you..."

"Waaah!"

Jingjing said aggrievedly, "I’m not playing with you anymore, brother is always bullying me."

Yan Rufeng, who had come to the courtyard, saw this and slowly walked to Jingjing, holding her hand, smiling kindly, "Jingjing, is Xiao Feng bullying you again?"

Yan Jingjing nodded, her eyes welling up as she looked at Yan Rufeng, hoping he would scold Yan Xiaofeng.

Yan Rufeng took out a bunch of candied hawthorn sticks from his storage ring and handed them to Yan Jingjing, smiling, "Jingjing, here you go. As a punishment for Xiao Feng, he won’t get any of these candied sticks."

Yan Jingjing bit into a candied hawthorn, happily smiling, "So yummy, big brother always takes care of me!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Xiaofeng turned his head disdainfully, "I don’t care! My donut is way better than candied hawthorn!"

Seeing Yan Xiaofeng take out a donut, Yan Jingjing dropped her candied hawthorn and said loudly, "Brother, he has a donut; I want one too."

"Haha..."

Yan Xiaofeng laughed, "Not giving you any, cry all you want!"

"Waaah~"

Yan Jingjing actually burst into tears.

Yan Rufeng sighed with a helpless smile, "Jingjing, stop crying, I’ll buy you a donut next time, alright..."

"No, I want it now..."

"Waaah..."

Jingjing suddenly cried loudly.

Yan Rufeng said in amazement, "Are donuts really that enticing?"

Jingjing’s crying attracted Mu Ru.

"Jingjing, is your brother bullying you again."

Mu Ru’s voice came through.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaofeng quickly ran to Jingjing, taking out a handful of donuts, smiling, "Sister, stop crying, you can have all my donuts, okay?"

"Really!" Yan Jingjing immediately stopped crying.

"Mm..."

Yan Jingjing picked up a donut, happily running towards Mu Ru, saying as she ran, "Mom, big brother is here!"

"Rufeng is here?" Mu Ru was startled.

"Mom, I’m here," Yan Rufeng said.

Mu Ru looked at Yan Rufeng affectionately, saying, "Rufeng, where have you been these past six months? Next time you leave, could you at least say something? You have no idea how worried your mom is!"

Yan Rufeng felt a pang in his heart.

"Mom, if one day I have to go to a faraway place, would you be willing to come with me?"

"Where are you planning to go now?" Mu Ru questioned.

"Mom, I want to leave Earth!" Yan Rufeng replied.

Mu Ru exclaimed in shock, "Leave Earth? Where do you want to go?"

Yan Rufeng didn’t hide it, "To find your daughter-in-law."

"Haha..."

Mu Ru laughed happily, "Are there no girls on Earth that you have to leave the planet to find one? Are you planning to bring back a heavenly maiden as your wife?"

"Mom, I’m serious," Yan Rufeng said seriously.

Mu Ru became serious, "Rufeng, I don’t want to go anywhere; I just want to spend peaceful days here with you all."

What Mu Ru said would seem simple to any normal person, but for Yan Rufeng, it wasn’t easy at all.

Yan Rufeng’s master, Daoist Master Hong Jun, had said that Earth had only 1,500 years left before it would be destroyed. Yan Rufeng was constantly thinking about improving his cultivation to change Earth’s fate.

Yan Rufeng knew that without absolute strength, wanting to stay with his family was merely wishful thinking...

After visiting his grandfather and maternal grandfather and all his relatives, Yan Rufeng left the Dragon Abyss Sect.

Yan Rufeng piloted his cosmic battleship to the skies above the suburbs of the Capital City.

In a villa, Wen JiaRen warmly shook Yan Rufeng’s hand, saying kindly, "Comrade Rufeng, you finally showed up."

Yan Rufeng smiled, "Commander Wen, it’s my fault for making you worry."

Wen JiaRen poured a cup of tea for Yan Rufeng, then said, "Comrade Rufeng, you must have heard about the Heavenly Demon’s matter by now."

Yan Rufeng replied, "Commander Wen, I’ve heard about the Heavenly Demon."

"What do you think?" Wen JiaRen asked.

Yan Rufeng said, "Commander Wen, I believe the Heavenly Demon has two purposes for coming to Huaxia."

Wen JiaRen’s expression grew serious, asking, "What are the Heavenly Demon’s purposes?"

Yan Rufeng said, "The first purpose is to use the pretext of challenging Huaxia’s experts to lure me out and eliminate me."

"And the second purpose?"

Yan Rufeng continued, "After eliminating me, the Heavenly Demon will launch an attack on Huaxia."

Wen JiaRen asked, "How do you know?"

Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Commander Wen, from what I understand about the Heavenly Demon, he would never be content to remain in the barbaric land of Southern Yue."

Wen JiaRen said, "Comrade Rufeng, your analysis has some merit, but since the changes in heaven and earth, Southern Yue hasn’t produced many cultivators. Even if the Heavenly Demon controls Southern Yue, they wouldn’t dare disrespect Huaxia."

"Sigh..."

Yan Rufeng sighed deeply, "Commander Wen, the Heavenly Demon’s army isn’t just cultivators. Remember, the Heavenly Demon can transform demons, and he can also turn humans into demons. I’m sure that by now, it’s hard to find pure humans in Southern Yue."

"Is it that extreme?" Wen JiaRen asked in disbelief.

Yan Rufeng replied, "Commander Wen, you can have Ye Lingtian pilot a cosmic battleship to Southern Yue for an investigation. Once it’s confirmed that Southern Yue is controlled by demons, we can take action to exterminate them..."

Wen JiaRen hesitated, saying, "Comrade Rufeng, since the changes in heaven and earth, apart from Huaxia, all nations have been busy with basic construction, and there’s little interaction between countries. If our cosmic battleship flies into Southern Yue’s airspace, wouldn’t that violate international law?"

Yan Rufeng said, "Commander Wen, you don’t need to worry about this matter. Even if our Demon Extermination Army presses forward, internationally there won’t be any objections. We’re exterminating demons for Southern Yue Country and saving their people, not attacking them!"
