Ye Tianfei didn't quite understand what Ye Shu said.
If these outsiders are so barbaric, why let them in?
There are many ways to save people. Even if you take people to the capital, you can designate an area for them to stay in and prevent them from having contact with or having conflicts with the locals.
Shoot anyone found dead on the spot. This kind of deterrent is sure to keep those lunatics in check.
He asked Night Rat the same question, and Night Rat's answer left him speechless.
Night Rat said, "The locals are making a huge fuss about this. Some have suggested that if we can rescue them, we should gather them in the suburbs and not allow them to come to the main city."
But the local official said that if our capital city were destroyed like other cities, the survivors who were lucky enough to live would flee to cities like our capital city.
Would you rather be accepted or turned away? We are all compatriots; in times of crisis, we should be tolerant, understanding, and supportive of one another to overcome difficulties together. We cannot reject many innocent people because of a few bad actors.
Night Rat looked at Night Sky and smiled bitterly: "No one is satisfied with this answer, but the higher-ups have already made it clear. What can the citizens do?"
However, there have been far too many murders recently, and now everyone in the capital is on the verge of exploding.
Be careful once you enter the city. Many people will start a fire without even lighting it, driven by the desire for food or by their own anger.
On our way here, we witnessed several murders. People were walking along peacefully when someone suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed them; it was impossible to defend against.
Wen Yanchen frowned: "It sounds like the malevolent aura here is stronger than in the cities we've been to. When we were in L City, although many people died and it was severely destroyed, the malevolent aura there was not as strong as here."
Ye Jinyan said in a deep voice, "These people are still too well protected. They don't know how lucky they are. Wait until they are hunted down by the strange creatures and torn to pieces by them, then let's see if those people still have any murderous aura to bully others."
Wen Yanchen: "I have reason to suspect that there are Japanese and traitors in the local officials' circle, and they have a lot of power. If they were compatriots, they wouldn't make such a brainless and cold-blooded decision."
Ye Jinyan stared ahead in silence for a long while: "It's not impossible."
Ye Tianfei then spoke up: "This kind of inferior race is really hard to eradicate. If they knew that the sky above them is full of man-eating monsters, let's see how they'll jump around then."
Night Rat looked at Night Tianfei: "What do you mean by that, Fourth Young Master? Are you using something in the air?"
Ye Tianfei looked up at the sky outside and said, enduring his discomfort, "There are many disgusting things in the sky above the capital. You can't see them now because you are inside the formation."
Night Rat immediately had a bad feeling. He asked, "I've heard of formations, but what about the disgusting things in the sky that Fourth Young Master mentioned? Are there many of them?"
Ye Tianfei looked away from him and said, "You don't want to know."

Taoist temple.
After arriving at the Taoist temple, Ye Ling and Ye Jingyan quietly surveyed their surroundings.
The Taoist temple they are seeing now is not large, with only one courtyard, about 300 square meters.
But in reality, this Taoist temple is very, very large. If you include the abandoned walls and ruins, the temple covers an area of at least 20,000 square meters.
The Taoist temple we see today shows signs of renovation, but it is still quite old. Preliminary estimates suggest that the temple is over 600 years old.
To Ye Ling and Ye Jingyan's surprise, there were only two Taoist priests in the temple!
Master Zeyu invited them inside, saying, "This is the Lingzhen Sect, which you probably haven't heard of. The Lingzhen Sect is a cultivation sect with a thousand-year-old heritage. Seven hundred years ago, seven patriarchs of the Lingzhen Sect cultivated and became immortals."
Later, due to various reasons, it gradually declined, and now only a few of us are left.
Ye Ling and Ye Jingyan exchanged glances, and Ye Ling asked him, "Have you heard of this sect?"
Ye Jingyan frowned slightly: "I think I've heard of him before. You asked me before if I remembered that Taoist priest. As my strength has increased, I've gradually come to remember his figure."
I think I heard the words "Lingzhen" from the Taoist priest, but I can't be sure if my memory is playing tricks on me.
Zeyu listened to their conversation, a look of sadness flashing in his eyes.
"Brother Dao, Miss Ye and the others have arrived."
Zeyu led Yeling and the others to a side hall and called out to the meditating Daoist Qipeng.
Upon hearing this, Daoist Qi Peng opened his eyes and looked at Ye Ling. Just as he was about to speak, he spat out another mouthful of blood. "Cough cough... I am Qi Peng, please forgive my poor appearance."
Ye Ling crouched down to look him in the eye, her tone grave: "Your lifespan has come to an end. Even if I give you life force, it's too late to save you. I'm sorry."
Master Qi Peng twitched the corner of his mouth, wiped the blood from his lips, and laughed, "My mission is complete as long as you appear. Death is just another way of living, there's nothing wrong with that."
Ye Ling frowned: "What do you mean by 'your mission is complete once I show up'? Do you know me?"
Qi Peng didn't answer Ye Ling immediately, but looked at Ye Jingyan and asked with a smile, "You're her lover, right?"
Ye Jingyan nodded: "Yes."
Qi Peng laughed and said out of the blue, "The price was high, but it was worth it."
Ye Jingyan and Ye Ling frowned simultaneously, the Taoist priest's words making them think twice.
He said to Ye Ling, "I have something I'd like to say to Miss Ye alone. Is that alright?"
Ye Ling looked up at Ye Jingyan, who nodded slightly to her and said to Daoist Zeyu, "Daoist Zeyu, could you please take me to visit your Taoist temple? I would like to learn about your sect."
Master Zeyu quickly said, "Mr. Ye, this way please."
Ye Jingyan patted Ye Ling's head, gave her a reassuring look, and then left with Daoist Zeyu.
Master Qipeng saw all of this and smiled at Ye Ling, saying, "Please sit here."
Ye Ling nodded and sat down on a small stool to the side.
