"My good intentions have somehow become a hindrance..."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"Father, what should we do next?"
Ye Sitian stepped forward, his tone somewhat solemn.
"The infiltration of evil forces seems to have become increasingly covert in recent years, and relying solely on overt defenses is probably no longer sufficient!"
"Strengthening defenses is only the foundation; the key is to find their source!"
Ye Lingtian's gaze was indifferent, but his tone left no room for doubt.
"These demons cannot act without a purpose; their goals may be far more profound than we imagine!"
Ye Mo pondered for a moment.
"Father, you mentioned that the teleportation array in the Sky Cloud Tower is related to the Void Abyss. Does that mean they have already tried to establish a larger passage through Blue Star?"
"Highly likely!"
Ye Lingtian nodded.
"However, the Heavenly Dao rules of Blue Star are far more stable than those of other star regions. To open up a true Void Abyss Passage here, the energy and sacrifices required cannot be prepared overnight. This is why we can still suppress them for the time being!"
"In that case, we need to find their strongholds as soon as possible and completely destroy these threats!"
Ye Chen said.
"Grandfather, do you think I should lead a group to patrol around the perimeter of Earth?"
"No rush!"
Ye Lingtian waved his hand.
“There are already enough cultivators patrolling around Blue Star, so their attention will be more scattered. But demons are always cunning, and places right under their noses are more likely to be overlooked!”
"Under your very nose?"
Ye Xiaoyu was somewhat puzzled.
"Grandfather, do you mean... that evil spirits might already be hiding within our territory?"
"It's not impossible!"
Ye Lingtian's voice was deep.
"Why did the strange phenomenon of the Heavenly Cloud Tower appear there in the first place? If the demons simply wanted to cause destruction, why would they bother to set up an array? Behind this, it's probably not just the demons' plan, but also the possibility that human cultivators were secretly assisting them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall tensed up.
"Human cultivators colluding with demons? These people are utterly depraved!"
Ye Mo couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Father, if these scoundrels are found, they must not be let off lightly!"
Ye Lingtian did not answer directly, but looked at Ye Sitian.
"Immediately investigate the origins of all cultivators around the Heavenly Cloud Tower, including any forces that have ever entered or left the tower, whether they are sects or independent cultivators, leave no one unpunished!"
"Yes, Father!"
Ye Sitian acknowledged and withdrew, immediately setting up personnel to investigate.
Little Fire perched on Ye Lingtian's shoulder, its tail gently swishing.
"Master, do you think this matter will be very troublesome? We are busy guarding against evil spirits, and we also have to be wary of traitors among humans. I feel like we can never get rid of these bad guys."
"That's just how the world is!"
Ye Lingtian said calmly.
"Good and evil coexist. Where there is light, there will inevitably be darkness. What we need to do is not to eliminate everything, but to let light occupy as much space as possible!"
"Hey, that sounds like a profound idea, but honestly, I still think it's more satisfying to just burn all those bad guys to ashes!"
Xiao Huo said with a serious expression.
"Master, if I were to unleash a heavenly fire and wipe everything out, wouldn't this Blue Star be cleansed?"
"And then what?"
Ye Lingtian looked at it, his voice calm.
"If there were no bad people, no evil spirits, would you still have a reason to exist?"
Xiao Huo paused for a moment, then scratched his head.
"Uh...that's true...but I'm just not happy about it! Why do good people have to live such a hard life, while bad people can hide in the shadows and secretly enjoy themselves?"
"Because people's hearts are complex!"
Ye Lingtian stood up and stood with his hands behind his back.
"This is why those who cultivate the Tao seek to have an unhindered mind. If everyone acted according to their simple nature, as you say, the world would only become more chaotic!"
"Tsk, Master, you're right, but what you're saying is really discouraging!"
Xiao Huo pouted.
"But it's okay, since I'm with you, I don't have to worry about anything. Just tell me what to do, and I'll do it!"
Ye Lingtian didn't say anything more, but turned and walked out.
"I'm going to the Heavenly Dao Scroll Pavilion. You all take care of your own affairs!"
"Yes, Grandfather!"
The crowd answered in unison.
Little Fire quickly followed, hopping excitedly to Ye Lingtian's side.
"Master, are you going to read a book? Can I come with you? I promise I won't flip through the pages!"
"The Heavenly Dao Book Pavilion is not an ordinary place for storing books; you cannot enter!"
"Huh? What should I do then?"
The small fire immediately lost its momentum.
"Then you'll have to let me wait outside, so that I can rush in and help if anything happens!"
"You're right outside!"
Ye Lingtian said calmly.
"But don't wander off. I don't want to see anything strange when I come out!"
"Don't worry, Master, I'll just lie by the door and sunbathe. I definitely won't cause any trouble!"
Little Fire raised its paws and solemnly promised.
"I hope so!"
Ye Lingtian shook his head and turned to step into the Book Pavilion.
Little Fire watched his retreating figure, scratched his ear, and muttered to himself.
"Sigh, Master is always so mysterious. What's inside this Book Pavilion? Maybe... I can peek in? No, no, Master definitely won't let me in. I'd better just wait obediently outside..."
