The Fourth Calamity: My Sect Has Countless Prodigies

Chapter 143 Foundation Establishment is Approaching

In the still of the night, the three moved with incredible speed, appearing on the street like ghosts.

A shadowy demonic cultivator crouched on the rooftop, just as the patrols were changing shifts.

He was preparing to take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack on the patrol team that was returning.

Just then, three incredibly fast figures flashed past him from the street below, leaving him momentarily stunned.

"Who would be so kind as to return to their base so quickly? Shouldn't things be a bit easier at this time?" the shadowy demon cultivator muttered.

The group was too fast for him to stop, so he could only continue to wait for the other patrols to return.

Li Fan and his two companions arrived at the city center in no time, their bodies stained with blood, their speed incredibly fast.

Upon seeing this, Inspector Lin Yuan hurriedly went forward to meet the three.

"Li Fan, what happened to you guys? Were you attacked by demonic cultivators?" Lin Yuan quickly took out three high-quality Rejuvenation Pills from his sleeve and handed them to the group.

Qunxing naturally didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the Rejuvenation Pill. On the surface, he pretended to swallow it, but in reality, he quietly put it into his sleeve.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a high-grade Rejuvenation Pill; he couldn't just waste it.

Lin Yuan was very concerned about the group, but the other veteran inspectors were different.

Many people were discussing it, saying that Li Fan and his companions were incredibly lucky to be alive.

Not only did the patrolmen not encounter any demonic cultivators, but they also managed to survive in the outer area for so long.

On their way back, they were attacked by demonic cultivators, but they managed to escape quickly, suffering only minor injuries before returning to a safe area.

Ignoring the whispers, Li Fan spoke up directly, "That's right, Inspector, we were ambushed on our way back, but luckily we ran fast and he didn't catch up with us."

Lin Yuan patted his shoulder with a smile: "It's alright, it's good that he's back. You don't need to go on patrol tonight, just rest here."

This time, none of the veteran inspectors voiced any objections.

If they encounter demonic cultivators during their patrols at night, they can rest for the night; this was a rule that everyone had established long ago.

Moreover, his rest does not directly affect everyone's interests, so it is normal that no one objects.

After Lin Yuan had arranged things for the three of them, he smiled at everyone, his face as warm as a spring breeze.

Now that the inventory has been completed and all the inspectors are present, he has a very important announcement to make.

"Alright, everyone on patrol, thank you for your hard work these past few days. The family has already given word that they will send a Foundation Establishment cultivator to personally oversee the situation in three days."

After saying this, Lin Yuan felt an instant sense of relief.

As an inspector of the Lin family, although he was not on the front line, he had been overwhelmed with coordinating and handling conflicts between inspectors these days.

The other patrolmen who heard this were instantly at a loss for words.

Everyone was living under crisis, and suddenly they were told that they would be liberated and reborn. It was hard to accept for a while.

"Old Liu, do you think I'm dreaming?" An old patrolman patted his face in disbelief, looking bewildered.

"Damn it, Lao Zhang, you absolutely can't be dreaming! What am I going to do if you wake up?" another old patrolman said anxiously, looking terrified.

These two sentences made Li Fan and the others chuckle. How come these old patrolmen were even more interesting than they were?

It seems that despair can truly drive a person insane.

Thinking of this, Li Fan couldn't help but sigh.

Now they've already overcome many obstacles; in these last few days, they should hold on and hope that a powerful Foundation Establishment expert will come to their aid.

At that time, they will be able to become real inspectors in Lianyunfang City, not only possessing considerable power, but also having access to some information about Lianyunfang City from the three major families.

Then, completing the intelligence gathering mission will be twice as effective with half the effort.

While he was still excitedly thinking about it, many of the patrol officers had already come to their senses.

Most of the patrolmen were overjoyed and wept uncontrollably. Some even fainted on the spot upon realizing they had survived, leaving everyone both amused and exasperated.

The nightmare fades, and the first rays of dawn appear.

How could they not be excited?

As for the past few days since I arrived at the Foundation Establishment stage, that doesn't matter.

After all, the demonic cultivators will definitely receive the news soon, and may already be preparing to evacuate.

Even if they continue patrolling during this period, the actual danger will be much less than in the previous days.

At this moment, Lin Yuan stepped forward and waved to signal everyone to quiet down.

"Alright, everyone knows the good news now. The patrols should proceed as planned and we should keep things stable. I hope we can all meet on the day the martial law is lifted," Lin Yuan said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.

It was this sentence that brought hope and motivation to many patrols.

After a 15-minute break, they packed up their weapons and equipment and began a new round of patrols.

Under the cover of night, in a corner of the market.

Eight people dressed in black robes gathered together.

No, these people can no longer be called human beings.

Their faces were extremely terrifying, their features twisted and distorted, as if they were demons from hell.

"Sir, we've received word from above that we should take the Blood Pills and retreat immediately, without wasting any more time."

A man in a black robe was reported.

But the man at the head, whose aura was the most restrained yet whose face was the most terrifying, let out a cold snort.

"Above! Have any of us ever had someone above us?"

His tone was sharp, and his voice revealed a deep anger.

The other men in black robes lowered their eyes, looking somewhat disappointed, and remained silent.

Indeed, how could someone like them, who isn't even human, possibly be truly accepted by others?

At most, they will only become sharp weapons in their hands.

-

"Boss, what can we do?" A man in black robes sighed helplessly.

There's no point in saying more now that things have come to this.

Many of the men in black looked bitter upon hearing this. Yes, what good would complaining do?

We still have to keep going.

But to everyone's surprise, the leader in black robes uttered something that no one dared to even imagine.

"You said we now have the ability to refine blood pills, so why don't we—" The man in black robes wrapped his robes even tighter.

Even though he hadn't finished speaking, everyone already knew what he was thinking.

"Boss, that's a Foundation Establishment level family. If we go against them, do we really have any chance of survival?"

The man in black robes asked cautiously.

But the leader just smiled and said, "Do you think we'll survive if we don't betray him? Guess how many times those three Foundation Establishment families will kill us and replace us with another group?"
