The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 887 - 987: Defending the City Lord's Mansion

When Wang Ye went out to eliminate the Red Moon Demon Pig, it turned out as Ye Tianfan and the others expected. The Red Moon Demon Pig controlled these citizens and then attacked the City Lord's Mansion!As Ye Tianfan sensed these citizens starting to climb the walls and charge toward the City Lord's Mansion from every corner, he felt somewhat relieved. It was because prior to letting Wang Ye leave, he had waited a moment and then had the City Lord gather those who hadn't yet been corrupted into this room!

Even after Wang Ye left, although the room became a bit crowded with dozens of people pouring in, Ye Tianfan knew this was much better than having them scattered throughout the City Lord's Mansion!

Especially at this moment, if he hadn't gathered them earlier and had done so now, many would have been captured along the way, or it might have even caused some deaths!

When Ye Tianfan sensed the controlled citizens nearly attacking the room, while those inside were terrified, he summoned the Xuanhuang Tower and lowered its glow to the minimum, then covered the entire room's perimeter!

Since Ye Tianfan could not expose his presence temporarily, doing so would only make the Red Moon Demon Pig think Wang Ye had placed an array around the room.

With only Wang Ye to face, the Red Moon Demon Pig might still try its luck, but if it realized another cultivator was present, it would surely flee without a second thought!

Actually, if the Red Moon Demon Pig hadn't yet used evil energy to corrupt the entire town, upon encountering Wang Ye, it would have fled immediately, wanting its plan to proceed without any surprises. After all, it was meant to reshape its perfect body, and any unforeseen incident could lead to flaws in its newly reshaped form.

However, when Wang Ye arrived, the Red Moon Demon Pig had already consumed a great amount of evil energy to corrupt all the town's people. Running now would mean needing thirty to fifty years to regain its energy to corrupt the next town!

This made the impatient Red Moon Demon Pig decide to endure against Wang Ye. If it could outlast him, fine, but if not, it still held plenty of hostages, such as these citizens!

Moreover, the main reason the Red Moon Demon Pig persisted against Wang Ye was that it needed only those in the City Lord's Mansion to shape a perfect body. Without them, it could still create a body, but it would be much less powerful and would seem somewhat flimsy!

Yet what the Red Moon Demon Pig didn't anticipate was Ye Tianfan's arrival before it could exhaust Wang Ye. If the Red Moon Demon Pig knew of Ye Tianfan's presence, it would flee immediately, even if Ye Tianfan wasn't very powerful. Even being at the first or second layer of cultivation would be sufficient to deal with ordinary people.

As long as it drew ordinary people away from attacking, dealing with the Red Moon Demon Pig became much easier, especially since Wang Ye alone was already enough to confront it!

Ye Tianfan watched the ordinary citizens, continuously striking at the Xuanhuang Tower, seated calmly on the ground, observing them without enhancing the tower's protective strength. The tower had a counter force feature; even a light tap could throw these people back dozens of meters. Yet, Ye Tianfan chose not to use it.

These citizens were still extremely frenzied, indicating the Red Moon Demon Pig hadn't suffered significant harm. With enough damage, its control over these citizens would diminish, dampening their aggressive stance!

Wang Ye's side had reached a critical confrontation with the Red Moon Demon Pig. At this moment, Wang Ye appeared very haggard and suffered numerous injuries.

And the Red Moon Demon Pig had lost many fragments; these pieces were temporary constructs of its body, which, though weak, were much better than having no form at all!

Meanwhile, Ye Tianfan kept monitoring the situation of these corrupted ordinary citizens.

"Immortal...immortal, will we be alright?" City Lord Ma, observing his formerly loyal citizens madly attacking an invisible barrier desperately, felt heartache yet still worried if they could break through it. He anxiously asked Ye Tianfan!

Hearing City Lord Ma's question, Ye Tianfan turned back and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, nothing will happen; they can't break through the barrier I've set!"

City Lord Ma nodded after hearing Ye Tianfan's words, hesitated, but finally asked, "Immortal, is there really no way to save my citizens?"

Ye Tianfan fell silent upon hearing City Lord Ma's question, eventually providing a despairing answer: "There's no way, not even a shred!"

Despite learning this from Wang Ye, City Lord Ma still felt immense heartache and realized he had truly lost his people!

City Lord Ma, somewhat despondent, sat down beside Ye Tianfan, while the others felt deeply pained upon hearing these words. After all, many of the crazed individuals outside were their friends and family. A woman even saw her husband wildly biting at the invisible barrier outside!

"Immortal, have I committed a sin? Why does the heavens punish me so!" City Lord Ma asked Ye Tianfan in despair!

Ye Tianfan replied to City Lord Ma's question: "I don't know about sins, but you are indeed a good man. In such crucial times, your concern for Sand City's citizens remains earnest, and that's commendable!"

Ye Tianfan could see City Lord Ma's genuine care for the citizens of Sand City, and admired such a City Lord, as he deeply loved his people. A good City Lord like him could lead the remaining dozens to rebuild a new Sand City within decades, provided no accidents occur.

This situation had dealt a heavy blow to City Lord Ma, and Ye Tianfan was unsure whether he would continue leading his remaining citizens!
