That's why Ye Tianfan and his team are so wary of these two wall-external creatures.
After all, if something goes wrong, the ones who die will be their people.
One must know, if a wall-external creature truly wants to infect, it is enough to infect the entire interior wall, as long as it is not controlled, so it is conceivable how easily a wall-external creature can multiply.
However, for a human to cultivate to their level, it takes a long time, so sacrificing any one person would cause irreversible damage to them, because training another person requires consuming a large amount of resources and abundant time.
This is why, despite the abundance of wall-external creatures, the powerful cultivators are gradually becoming fewer.
On one hand, it's because the spiritual power within the walls is becoming increasingly scarce, and on the other hand, it's because the number of people able to cultivate within the walls is decreasing, hence this is one of the reasons why the interior is increasingly declining.
Therefore, any cultivator within the walls is extremely rare, not to mention the dwindling resources, making cultivators within seem even more scarce.
Moreover, this wall-exploration almost halved the numbers of all sects, with basically every sect suffering at least more than half the people, which is why everyone is on guard and extremely cautious, fearing their current numbers might decrease further.
Because Ye Tianfan and his team are already the elite among the elite in the sect, every casualty causes them immense sorrow, for cultivating these people uses resources vastly different from others, even the resources used for each one could surpass others tenfold or even tens of times.
Although Ye Tianfan hasn't used too many resources from the Taichu Sect, he utilized the resources of the entire cultivation world, just that those resources were unclaimed, but if counted, they still surpass many others.
Thus, regardless of how high your talent is or how much of a genius you are, if you want to advance to a higher realm, you first need a large amount of resources. It's just that with high talent, using ordinary resources can yield better effects, which is why geniuses are more favored.
After all, geniuses can gain results in a short time no matter what they do, like given the equivalent resources, they can quickly ascend to a designated level, whereas those who aren't geniuses progress slowly.
Once a genius quickly ascends, they can rapidly supplement the heritage of the sect, because fast advancement means quickly entering the established battle power of the sect, thus this battle power becomes part of the sect's heritage. Hence, when a sect has many geniuses, it can quickly grow into a major sect.
If Taichu True One, the number one person in the world, were placed in a minor sect, Taichu True One could still make this sect grow from a minor sect to a medium-sized sect or slightly larger.
This is the cause of battle power.
As long as there is sufficient battle power, a sect can rapidly evolve from a minor sect to the best sect in the world. If a minor sect holds great battle power, perhaps even surpassing Taichu Sect in total battle power, then this sect will directly surpass Taichu Sect, becoming the best sect in the world, and so long as no other sect's battle power exceeds this minor sect, it will remain the best.
However, similarly, if another sect openly surpasses the best sect in battle power, then naturally this sect will surpass the best, becoming the new best sect in the world.
Yet these are merely the visible battle powers; no one would put their hidden battle power openly as it's their trump card.
This implies when a sect faces danger and unexpectedly reveals its hidden battle power, it not only intimidates enemies but also scares them away so they won't harass them for a while.
Given that, people are unsure if this sect retains any hidden trump cards, as if all the battle power is out in the open, then if other sects attack, they would deploy battle power even greater than yours.
By then, if you have no trump cards, the only path is death, as no sect would exhaust its full might to annihilate another sect.
If you have a trump card, you could possibly annihilate all members of the attacking sect.
Then, the invading sect would suffer huge losses in battle power, and what remains might be insufficient to continue fighting against you, or even you might retaliate, wiping out the enemy.
Of course, this scenario happens only if the gap between the two sides isn't too large, and your sect has some hidden battle power; it could lead to success, but generally, no sect would do so.
In the righteous path within the walls, their enemies are only the demonic path, naturally, these are just visible enemies, beneath the surface, sects clash secretly, but nobody knows for sure; as long as it doesn't break out openly, it proves these two sects are peaceful, because their true foe is only the demonic path.
Ye Tianfan looked at these two wall-external creatures; although they supported and leaned on each other, he could still see murder and indifference in their eyes, unable to see a hint of warmth.
This is where Ye Tianfan's curiosity lies; clearly creatures devoid of emotion and filled with murder, why would they display a moment of tenderness at this time?
Logically, if either of these two wall-external creatures were discovered, then the other would swiftly escape, even that this female wall-external creature could be pregnant, which greatly puzzled Ye Tianfan.
Because in Ye Tianfan's view, two wall-external creatures appearing on a territory, what awaits them is either submission or slaughter and devouring.
Moreover, wall-external creatures shouldn't have pregnancies; their desire is solely to devour.
But right now, Ye Tianfan can no longer afford to think, as he noticed the two wall-external creatures started preparing to fight desperately, seemingly willing to try recklessness to break out of the encirclement.
However, everyone at the moment can't allow them to break out, because there's a very powerful wall-external creature wandering outside the town.
If these two wall-external creatures escape and alert that other wall-external creature, Ye Tianfan and his team would be in deadly danger.
