Chapter 580: Chapter 250: Hunting Demons

"We don’t know for now."

Song Ye of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect shook his head. "We only found out because the Divine Soul Mark he left behind in the Sect shattered. But... we haven’t even found a body."

His expression turned grim.

Even Qin Fang’s heart sank at these words.

’...not even a body found.’

It was obvious where it had gone.

’A True Blood Realm Great Demon... equivalent to the Divine Realm...?’

He fell into contemplation.

"I understand. Thank you for informing us... Now that we’ve arrived, what do you need us to do?"

Master Fan asked with a slight nod after a moment of thought.

’We came here to help the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect. While we don’t have to follow their every command, we should at least listen to their suggestions.’

’Otherwise, if everyone fights on their own, it’ll be chaos, which will undoubtedly lower our effectiveness.’

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. I won’t stand on ceremony with you, Senior Brother... Right now, my Sect’s disciples..."

Upon hearing this, Song Ye took a deep breath and, dropping the pleasantries, quickly explained the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s current arrangements.

To put it simply, almost all the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s disciples had already been dispatched to hunt and kill Exotic Species.

However, because the disciples’ strengths varied, not every one of them was capable of hunting Exotic Species alone... It would be too dangerous otherwise. ℯℯ𝑙.

So, the more powerful disciples were moving freely, searching for Exotic Species throughout the prefecture and killing them on sight.

The weaker ones, on the other hand, were moving in groups. They would find a high vantage point to lock down an area, and once they found any trace of an Exotic Species, they would move in to encircle and kill it.

This was to prevent the Exotic Beasts from spreading to more distant regions as much as possible.

For example, the Cloud Boat they were on was currently patrolling this vicinity, guarding against any Exotic Species that might break through the defensive line.

However, the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect had a limited number of disciples. With such a vast area, it was impossible for them to form a complete encirclement, so it was inevitable that some Exotic Species would slip through and escape.

But once reinforcements from other Sects arrived, they could establish a sufficiently long defensive line to prevent the Exotic Species from spreading and eventually affecting other prefectures.

"...Once we’ve dealt with most of the escaped Exotic Species, we’ll pool our resources to solve the trouble with the Grotto Heaven... For now, this is our Sect’s plan."

Fan Zhengchu thought for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, my Sect will cooperate with your Sect’s operations..."

Song Ye let out a long sigh of relief. "Thank you, Senior Brother... Ahem, our Sect’s experts are mostly concentrated near the Grotto Heaven. Although we have an Array in place, waves of Exotic Species still rush out from time to time, so our combat power for patrolling and hunting inside the territory is a bit insufficient... We may need your help, Senior Brother, to dispatch some disciples at the Divine Illumination Realm or above to hunt the Exotic Species with us."

This request made Fan Zhengchu frown slightly... After all, there were True Blood Realm Great Demons in there.

He couldn’t feel at ease with the disciples out of his sight.

’Disciples at the Divine Illumination Realm and above... they are the future pillars of the Sect.’

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother. Although there are True Blood Realm Great Demons, there certainly aren’t many. So far, only one True Inheritance disciple has fallen... Besides, I suspect that disciple was simply too careless and didn’t realize how formidable a True Blood Great Demon is. Otherwise, with my martial nephew’s strength, he would have had every opportunity to escape."

Seeing Fan Zhengchu’s frown, Song Ye quickly spoke up, then added, "Furthermore, our Sect understands that Divine Illumination disciples are crucial to every Sect. Therefore, during this time, our Elders at the Sixth Realm and above have refined a number of ’Sword Galls.’ Each one contains the power of a single strike from a Sixth Realm Elder... While it might not be enough to instantly kill a True Blood Realm demon, suppressing one for a short while is absolutely not a problem! Your disciples can use that opportunity to escape quickly."

"Right now, we also have a good number of our own Fifth Realm Elders inside, hunting Exotic Species. There are also Fifth Realm Elders stationed at each County Government Office. I will give you all a map of Jinlan Prefecture. If your disciples truly encounter a True Blood Great Demon, they can immediately activate the Sword Gall and retreat towards the nearest County Government Office. There will be absolutely no problem!"

Hearing Song Ye’s words, Fan Zhengchu finally showed a look of surprise. "Sword Galls... you mean your Sect’s famous ’Golden Rainbow Sword Gall’?"

"Yes," Song Ye replied with a slight nod.

"I’ve heard... that these Sword Galls are not easy to create. Not only do they require ’Hidden Gang Stones’ capable of storing the True Gang of a Sixth Realm Martial Artist as a base, but the cost of creating each one also seems to be quite substantial..."

"It is indeed substantial," Song Ye said with a wry smile. "But we have no choice. When something like this happens, it must be resolved... Our Sect can’t possibly let the important disciples of our allies fall into danger."

Seeing Song Ye’s expression and how considerate the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s arrangements were, Fan Zhengchu thought for a moment before finally nodding. "In that case... very well. Let them go and temper themselves."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I will go retrieve the Sword Galls now. Please wait a moment."

With that, Song Ye’s figure flashed, and he transformed into a streak of Gang Light, returning to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect’s Cloud Boat.

He returned just as quickly.

With him were several other disciples from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, carrying several large sacks.

Fan Zhengchu twitched his nose slightly and said in surprise, "True Essence Pills?"

"Yes." Song Ye nodded. "You have all come from a thousand miles away to help my Golden Rainbow Sword Sect eliminate these Demons. Our Sect naturally cannot show nothing in return. At the very least, we can’t have you paying for your own True Essence Pills... From today onward, our Sect will provide each of you with three True Essence Pills every day to restore your energy, until this demon scourge is resolved."

Hearing this, the eyes of many disciples lit up, and they began to murmur among themselves with excitement.

A single True Essence Pill cost four hundred contribution points at the Pill Pavilion. For many, a whole month’s stipend was only enough to buy two.

And now the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect was just giving them three a day?
