The Strongest Prodigy Doctor

Chapter 766 - 866: Heavily Guarded

"So you're saying I'm too powerful, and everyone else is just a burden."Ye Tianfan thought to himself, but then he shook his head to dismiss the thought. After all, he's not that arrogant to think his teammates are useless. He thought teammates were quite useful, able to take hits for him and back him up.

However, Ye Tianfan didn't refute Taichu Zhenren because he truly felt that this mission was exceedingly difficult. If he were accompanied by some freeloaders, then it would double the difficulty!

Ye Tianfan nodded and then said, "Sect Leader Uncle, are you saying that, in the end, I'll be handling the entire mission alone?"

"Yes, just you. No one else. After all, your strength is undeniable, and your abilities are obvious to all. You managed to come out unscathed from the Zero Plain, one of the Ten Forbidden Lands. So, after discussing with the other leaders, we decided to let you take the mission solo, and we've given you the toughest one!" Taichu Zhenren said!

"The toughest?" Ye Tianfan was taken aback by this remark. Wasn't it supposed to be the mission most suitable for my abilities? While it's difficult, it's still something I can handle: "Sect Leader Uncle, didn't you say yesterday that while this mission is challenging, it's the most suitable for me? Why has it become the toughest? And I can't deal with the final monster; isn't this sending me to my death?"

"What are you thinking?" Taichu Zhenren waved his hand at Ye Tianfan and said, "There's no way we'd send you to handle the final monster. The one you need to deal with is still the high-level person in that organization we talked about yesterday!"

"Then why is my mission said to be the toughest?" Ye Tianfan asked, puzzled, "Isn't the toughest one the mission dealing with the final monster?"

"No! When I said your mission is the toughest, I meant among the missions available to you, yours is the most difficult. Some high-level missions will have elders from various sects dispatched, and for the final monster, I will be leading the heads of the five peaks to stand guard. The primary purpose isn't to eliminate the final monster — we can't defeat it temporarily anyway. The purpose of standing guard is to prevent the final monster from aiding other bases." Taichu Zhenren explained!

"I see!" Ye Tianfan nodded and then said to Taichu Zhenren, "Sect Leader Uncle, in that case, I'll set off!"

"Mm! Go ahead!" Taichu Zhenren nodded and signaled Ye Tianfan to leave!

Although Ye Tianfan was curious about how these leaders could know the approximate location of the organization's bases, even identifying a range for their missions, even detailing whom he'd face, he felt too embarrassed to ask Taichu Zhenren. After all, such information counts as confidential!

In fact, those leaders were even more curious than Ye Tianfan because the ranges they received were also guaranteed by Taichu Zhenren. However, Taichu Zhenren didn't tell the other leaders how he got this information. They just assumed it was intelligence gathered by the Taichu Sect's system and didn't dare to ask further since it was sect confidentiality!

What they didn't know was that the intelligence system of the Taichu Sect wasn't so acute, just slightly better than other sects, without any vast difference!

In reality, Taichu Zhenren could give them the exact locations of those bases, but doing so would certainly cause the other sects to be on guard. Although the war was ongoing and they wouldn't openly turn against each other, once the war ended, many sects would be wary of the Taichu Sect.

Such a terrifying intelligence system would make them suspicious if they didn't stay alert.

If Taichu Zhenren only mentioned general locations, they would think the Taichu Sect's intelligence system was just average, not much different from theirs. Despite their intelligence systems being completely paralyzed, they believed the Taichu Sect was still operating, which is why they obtained this information.

After flying out from the Taichu Sect, Ye Tianfan extended his Divine Sense into the Recording Jade to learn the exact location of the base!

The Recording Jade not only records the upcoming mission process but also the details of the mission.

However, upon discovering the exact location of the base, Ye Tianfan was a bit surprised. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that other teams only got approximate ranges, while he alone received the exact location.

Ye Tianfan then understood the reason from the Recording Jade. It turned out that, years ago, a disciple noticed this place during training and reported it. At that time, no one took it seriously, so it was left unresolved. Recently, they noticed signs of organizational activity here, derived a general range, combined it with previous reports, and calculated the exact location!

What Ye Tianfan didn't know was that when Taichu Zhenren and Elder Wu Ming got the Recording Jade, it had already been swapped with another prepared Recording Jade.

Additionally, the so-called explanation was something Taichu Zhenren thought long and hard about before adding it in; after all, he couldn't say he saw it through the Sky-Watching Mirror!

If other sects knew the Taichu Sect had a Magical Treasure capable of surveilling the world, it would be terrifying, as it would lead to war!

It took Ye Tianfan three days following the location in the Recording Jade to arrive at a tall mountain nearby.

Ye Tianfan saw there was indeed a base below, and the situation closely matched what was described in the Recording Jade; the defense was extremely strict. Even if Ye Tianfan wasn't discovering it himself due to the trees, he would have been detected!

Ye Tianfan noticed various flying creatures above the base, all of which had very red eyes, clearly indicating a strong inclination to attack!

Ye Tianfan believed that if he appeared within their line of sight, he would face a swarm of slaughter!

However, Ye Tianfan didn't worry too much about this. Despite not using Divine Sense to sense the creatures — fearing it might alert the high-level organization member in the base — Ye Tianfan could feel from the aura emitted by these flying creatures that they weren't strong, only serving to monitor the surroundings!
