Chapter 1152 - 1252: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Although, every sect moves forward in a single direction when exploring outside the wall, and each sect chooses a different direction.

However, every sect also leaves some people behind to guard the base camp during their exploration outside the wall.

The base camp requires some people to guard it, after all, not every sect is the Taichu Sect, which possesses the Chaos Treasure Lotus that allows them to replenish themselves anytime and anywhere.

Sects like the others have to return to the base camp for resupply and then go back to the point they reached before and continue forward.

So when Ye Tianfan returned to the base camp earlier, he saw many people bustling around, since they needed to receive supplies from inside the wall, categorize them, and move them to designated places.

Although the supplies were not many, they were quite abundant, making categorizing them rather troublesome.

When Ye Tianfan returned to the base camp again, he clearly noticed several people wandering aimlessly, but because he was busy earlier, he hadn't paid them any attention.

But now, as Ye Tianfan anxiously waited for the return of the Taichu True Master, he caught sight of those same idle people from the corner of his eye.

Ye Tianfan frowned because he didn't know how the people left behind to guard the base camp were assigned shifts.

Thus, Ye Tianfan didn't know whether these people wandering around were actually off-duty.

So Ye Tianfan simply frowned and didn't bother getting involved with them.

However, what irritated Ye Tianfan was that while everyone was anxiously awaiting the decision of the Taichu True Master, these idle people were still joking and laughing.

Though Ye Tianfan couldn't control whether others joked or laughed, in such a setting, at such a time, behaving like that was clearly inappropriate.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan could tell from their clothing that they weren't from any major sect, likely belonging to an unknown minor sect, as Ye Tianfan couldn't recognize which sect their outfits belonged to.

Ye Tianfan thought quietly to himself, "Are minor sects nowadays so lax in their discipline?"

Additionally, at such a crucial time, they still joked and laughed, showing no awareness of their surroundings.

Although Ye Tianfan didn't want to interfere since joking is their freedom, they were getting close to the tent where the Taichu True Master was being treated.

And when they were joking and laughing, they didn't even control their own volume, and upon seeing this, Ye Tianfan's frown deepened, worried they might disturb the Taichu True Master.

Especially at this critical moment for the Taichu True Master, if they disturbed the Taichu True Master and something happened, not even their lives could compensate for it, as the Taichu True Master was their assurance in events beyond the wall and a pillar of the Taichu Sect.

So Ye Tianfan decided to ask them to go somewhere else to joke, not here, seeing that they were quite annoying to him at this point.

As Ye Tianfan saw them heading towards the tent where the Taichu True Master was being treated, he immediately walked over to them.

"I say, don't go any further, if you want to talk, go over there, don't joke around here," Ye Tianfan said, frowning at those who were laughing and talking.

One of the laughing individuals, upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words and recognizing him, pulled his companions to leave for a different place, but one fellow heard Ye Tianfan and became impatient, glancing sideways at Ye Tianfan, raised an eyebrow and said, "Who do you think you are? Mind your own business, where I laugh and talk is my freedom, none of your damn business!"

The others chimed in, saying, "Exactly, the world is vast, and we're the greatest. We'll talk and laugh wherever we want, none of your damn business."

Ye Tianfan heard these people not only refused to leave but started to retort, and fury erupted in his heart.

Already frustrated due to the Taichu True Master being gravely injured, Ye Tianfan was feeling agitated since the Taichu True Master was hurt ensuring his escape, although she did it for the entire Taichu Sect, in that situation, she let Ye Tianfan leave first, staying behind to cover him.

Therefore, Ye Tianfan felt a hint of guilt, but he also knew staying wouldn't have helped, but rather would have been a burden.

So Ye Tianfan, feeling guilty and self-critical, questioned why his skills still hadn't improved? If his skills were higher then, he could have helped the Taichu True Master, and wouldn't have let her suffer such severe injuries.

As Ye Tianfan was in a bad mood, and then these people provoked him, his face immediately changed, and spiritual power began to emanate from him, Ye Tianfan contemplated just killing them.

But reason forcibly restrained Ye Tianfan. He knew if he killed someone here, even the renown of the Taichu Sect couldn't protect him; at the very least, he'd face severe punishment.

Ye Tianfan forcibly suppressed his fury, and glared intensely at the people before him, growling low, "I'm in a bad mood now, don't court death. Our Taichu Sect's Taichu True Master Sect Leader is currently under treatment, if you disturb him, I'll personally kill you. Leave now!"

There was a hint of murderous intent in Ye Tianfan's low growl.

This murderous intent startled the person who recognized Ye Tianfan earlier, who pulled his companions anxiously, whispering, "Let's go quickly, this is Tianfan True Master, the next Sect Leader of the Taichu Sect. We better not mess with him, or it'll be over for us."

Unexpectedly, that person's companions, upon hearing his words, didn't retreat but instead shouted louder, "So what? Even if he's the next Sect Leader of the Taichu Sect, he can't stop us from talking and laughing. Besides, hasn't the current Sect Leader of the Taichu Sect not died yet? If he's in a hurry to be the Sect Leader, he should just pray for the Taichu True Master to die in there!"

"How dare you!"

Ye Tianfan had been holding back his anger, but upon hearing this, it erupted uncontrollably, shouting "How dare you!" while summoning his Fire Lotus Sword, imbuing it with three forms, intending to eradicate these scoundrels.
