After a while, Old Liang sighed and said, "Young man, I advise you not to go. You people are just cannon fodder. You'll definitely die on the battlefield. It would be incredibly lucky if one out of ten of you came back alive!"

"If we don't go, what will you do? Disobeying military orders means certain death," Ye Feng asked.

"I...I'll figure something out," Old Liang said.

Although this old man talks a lot and complains all the time, he's really not a bad person.

"No need to say anything more, I've already made up my mind. As for whether we'll encounter danger on the battlefield, that's none of your concern," Ye Feng said.

Old Liang stared wide-eyed at Ye Feng in disbelief, unable to understand why Ye Feng would go to his death.

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure? Once you've made up your mind, I'll be reporting your name," Old Liang asked.

"I'm sure." Night Wind said without the slightest hesitation.

Then Old Liang looked over at Wang Zongde.

Wang Zongde said without hesitation, "I'll go with Young Master Gong. As for the others... wait a moment, I'll call them over now."

After Wang Zongde finished speaking, he ran off into the distance.

Before long, Wang Zongde summoned all his fellow villagers, including Wang Dachun and his three sons.

Upon learning that Ye Feng was preparing to answer the call to go to the battlefield to resist the demons, Wang Dachun and Sanzi were all shocked.

Night Wind looked at them and said calmly, "I'm leaving here. Will you come with me or stay in this mine? I won't force you; the choice is yours."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Wang Zongde said without hesitation, "I've decided to follow Young Master Gong! Da Chun, you're coming with me!"

What else could Wang Dachun say but nod?

You must listen to your father.

The others hesitated for a moment, then made their decisions as well.

“I’m going too, count me in!” Sanzi laughed.

"Me too!"

"Young Master Gong isn't an idiot. If he's planning to go to the battlefield, he must have his reasons. So I'll go too!"

"That's right! I'm going too, I'd love to see something new!"

Before long, all of Wang Zongde's relatives expressed their support, and not one of them backed down.

Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction, but still looked at Wang Zongde and said, "It's not safe for those women to stay here. Leave a few people here to guard them, in case anything unexpected happens."

Wang Zongde was immediately moved to tears.

He was naturally touched that Ye Feng was so considerate of him!

Suddenly, Lu Hanjian said, "Put my name in as well."

"What? You're going too?"

Old Liang clearly recognized Lu Hanjian, because he continued, "Mr. Lu, you are the chief incense master of Xinyou Hall, and you're not from my mine. Even if you wanted to go, I couldn't help you register."

“Then there’s no need to register. I’ll just go with them,” Lu Hanjian said.

Wang Zongde and the others looked at Lu Hanjian with complete confusion, and Ye Feng also looked at Lu Hanjian.

Lu Hanjian said with a smile, "Young Master Gong, you have done me a great favor, so of course I have to do something to repay your kindness. It's dangerous for you to go to the battlefield, so I'll go with you. It would be my honor to serve you."

Ye Feng glanced at Lu Hanjian twice and nodded, saying, "Whatever you say."

Now, Old Liang doesn't have to worry anymore.

Ye Feng, Wang Zongde, and the others have fully met the requirements for conscription, and even exceeded them by quite a bit.

In this way, he would have exceeded his target.

While recording the information, Old Liang asked, "Wang Zongde, what level of martial artist are you now?"

"Early stage of True Essence Realm," Wang Zongde replied.

"True Yuan Realm? You're actually a True Yuan Realm martial artist!" Old Liang was extremely surprised.

Wang Zongde chuckled without saying much, but his face was beaming with pride.

Then Old Liang looked at Ye Feng again and asked, "Mr. Gong, what level of martial artist are you?"

"Early stage of the Divine Travel Realm," Ye Feng said calmly.

Everyone present knew that Ye Feng was not a mid-stage Divine Travel Realm expert, but a martial arts master of the Transcendent Realm!

But they all wisely kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word of nonsense. Even Wang Dachun, that silly boy, quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to utter a sound after his father glanced at him.

After the registration was completed, Old Liang sent out the list using a communication talisman.

That completes the registration process.

"You all need to hurry back and prepare yourselves well. Troop transport ships will come to pick you up in three days. The battlefield is fraught with danger, so make sure you're well-prepared, just in case," Old Liang said.

"I will."

Night Breeze nodded with a smile.

Then Ye Feng led everyone away.

Upon returning to his residence, Bai Yue walked towards him.

"Are you going to the battlefield?" Bai Yue asked.

"Mm." Night Breeze nodded.

"And what about me?" Bai Yue asked again.

“Of course you’ll come with me, but you don’t need to register,” Night Wind said.

"Okay, I knew you wouldn't abandon me, cousin." Bai Yue said with a smile, nodding in satisfaction.

Then, Ye Feng looked at Wang Zongde and asked, "Wang Zongde, come with me to Crane King City now. We'll buy more medicinal herbs so I can refine pills anytime, anywhere."

"Okay, no problem."

Wang Zongde agreed and then said, "I know which place in Crane King City has the most medicinal herbs."

"Where?" Night Wind asked.

“Zhongshan Hall!” Wang Zongde answered without hesitation.

Lu Hanjian raised an eyebrow: "Are you from Zhongshantang?"

“That’s right. Back then, when I joined Zhongshantang, I was an inner member of Zhongshantang,” Wang Zongde said, puffing out his chest and raising his head.

Lu Hanjian laughed and said, "How come you're only an inner circle member? You're a True Yuan Realm martial artist. Even if you can't become a branch leader, you should at least be a protector."

Wang Zongde said awkwardly, "I already said it was back then, that was twenty years ago. I was just a minor Kaiyuan Realm martial artist back then, and the title of Dharma Protector had nothing to do with me."

"I see."

Lu Hanjian nodded and looked at Ye Feng, saying, "Wang Zongde said that Zhongshantang has the most medicinal herbs, and I don't deny that. But the people at Zhongshantang are all bad. Young Master Gong, why don't you go to our Xinyoutang? We also have plenty of medicinal herbs, enough to meet your needs."

Wang Zongde immediately became agitated and angrily said, "How can you talk like that? What do you mean that all the people in Zhongshantang are bad? Are you insulting me indirectly?"

“I didn’t insult you, Brother Wang. You are indeed a good person, loyal and trustworthy, and I admire you. But that Zhongshantang... hehe, they’re all a bunch of hypocrites.” Lu Hanjian said disdainfully, his expression full of contempt.

Seeing that Wang Zongde and Lu Hanjian were about to start arguing, Ye Feng said, "Master Lu, you should go back and prepare first. Wang Zongde and I will go to Zhongshan Hall. I will contact you if we need anything."
