The whale rejoined the group and shared its findings and plans. Everyone was shocked to learn how this demon metal was truly being created. But when they understood that demons were involved and were certainly still alive on this planet, everyone seemed to enter a deep internal panic.
Only Ruri remained calm; she even knew a bit about these demons, but the confidence and determination she forged in her mind refused to easily fear something. The whale looked at the others’ exaggerated reactions and snorted, speaking.
"Don’t be so pathetic; demons are just races born in places covered in Yin Energy. Look at everyone working in that village. Are demons the only ones responsible? Humans and marine beasts are poor innocents?"
Everyone listened, and their minds cleared slightly from instinctive fear, then they thought more rationally. Soon, the whale continued. "An evil race or evil in the world is just an invention to control the minds of the weaker. The only thing that exists is people; a demon can be a savior, and a race considered pure can become its executioner. Don’t create prejudices; look at their actions and not their power or race."
Seconds passed, and then Ruri was the first to speak firmly. "Master! I want to save these people."
"Hm... that’s going to be difficult. Cultivators from the Three Extremes Sect are present. If they catch us, we die. We already have enough information, but we need something more concrete to take back. That’s why I need all of you to work." They spoke, but clearly had no intention of leaving with just information.
The women then clenched their fists, thinking deeply; Goku had already told them the new plan to use them. Then one of them spoke. "If we absorb everything into our bodies, can we save them somehow?"
They all reacted together. They knew well the despair of being a helpless and free-willed slave. But these villagers were in an infinitely worse situation and would die forever in a short time.
"Hm... infiltrating with this method is already quite dangerous. But to save them, we have to steal the demon metal and somehow escape. That’s something impossible right now," the whale spoke lightly.
Then Ruri seemed to have an idea. "What if we didn’t escape? Maybe... no, I can do the same with them and control their minds!"
This time, Bruno and Alm were surprised by Ruri’s words. Alm had thought about this idea before, but for that, they would have to capture the weaker ones of the sect individually. Ruri’s mental power was very effective on cultivators of this planet; with some hints from them, she could easily do it. However, Bruno immediately denied it. He didn’t want Ruri enslaving the minds of other cultivators.
"Ruri, you might be capable, but that’s an evil method," Bruno argued lightly.
"Master, there is no evil method. I will use this for good and never for evil. You yourself said that what matters are my actions, not the techniques or races," Ruri spoke with firm eyes. "They deserve to pay in kind, and I won’t have mercy."
’Your personality is already becoming bloodthirsty and ruthless, now you even feel secure imposing your will. They really grow up fast,’ Alm said, sighing dryly.

Bruno took a deep breath, looking into her firm eyes, and then looked at the women. They all seemed to agree and had a strong desire to save the people.
"Well, if everyone works together, it’s possible. But the heavier burden will fall on you," they said, looking at the fifteen women. "You must infiltrate alone, which is already risky. And you must attract the sect cultivators out separately."
They thought briefly, trying to figure out how to do that. "The simplest method for this, you must know. Most of them are men with cultivations close to ours, so they are young and full of... ’vigor,’ if you understand me," the whale spoke calmly.
They obviously understood what the whale was suggesting and immediately looked at Almin. Soon, some sighed. He didn’t react to that idea. It wasn’t clear if he hadn’t noticed or if he didn’t care.
The whale then spoke, realizing everything. "Don’t use Almin as a benchmark; he is... a bit... different from other men, and maybe he likes different things. You have more than enough, and with a little effort, you can lure these men out."
They then gave a slightly strange smile. Langrum, who heard everything, laughed while looking at Almin. Then, Almin and Ruri finally understood everything they were implying.
"I don’t like different things!" Almin exclaimed a bit too late.
Ruri looked tense and coldly at the whale, who clearly praised their beauty, leaving her extremely bitter without fully understanding why.
The whale coughed, trying to change the strange atmosphere that had formed. "If everything is done, we can use the sect cultivators to distract the likely guarding elders, but with a mistake, you are the first to die."
Everyone swallowed hard, while Alm and Bruno continued. "After that, we can’t stay here... we must take them..." They spoke slowly, trying to provoke a reaction.
"To our new home!" Ruri said immediately.
The whale gave a slight smile. "Not a bad idea, but they are very weak and almost without cultivation. To live in that closed city, they will need several cultivators to go out and bring resources for them to live. After we return to the sect, we won’t have time to come back anytime soon."
The whale then glanced at the women. Almin’s ten seemed to lower their gaze in deep thoughts, but the five women from Montide were firm, and one of them spoke seriously.
"We can stay and take care of them. This will be our new home, and with everyone, we can prepare the place for the rest of our people. We will transform everything so that you always have a place to come back to."
The whale waved and said lightly, "Hm... a safe home. It’s good to have a quiet place to come back to."
The women immediately connected the whale’s words with those he said to them a few weeks ago (Chapter 140).
Some looked at Almin and sighed. Since the day Lyra was transferred to him, and he guarded her, Almin dedicated a part of his day to be with her. Everyone saw his sincere emotions from afar and finally understood over time. Almin truly only had Lyra in his heart. He would never accept them, at least not in the near future. For now, they were just an extra burden for him to carry, but, as Goku said, Almin is very emotional, and he will need a home to come back to and relax.
Being a burden was painful, but at least they could lighten that load off his shoulders. So, they could help build the cozy home that he would always want to return to. Silent minutes passed, and everyone seemed to wait for them to think, but it didn’t take long for one to clench her fists and hold another’s fists like a chain of understanding and support.
Then they all joined, and one spoke. "We will stay with them in the city."
’Great. Now we got rid of this dead weight.’ Alm spoke, internally laughing. Even Bruno sighed in relief. These girls were truly holding them back.
After hearing that, the whale waved and spoke calmly. "Alright, but first, you will have to experience a hellish training that you will never forget."
Alm and Bruno then moved far away from the village and dug a large underground cavern. In this place, all fifteen women received a full drop of Yin blood harvested in the prison. Soon, their world turned into a deadly and torturous black. But Almin stood by them, taking turns holding each one’s hands and dedicating himself to helping them with his support. That was the motivation and light in their black world.
As for the five from Montide, perhaps it was because they had strong mental powers. They were obviously taking it slightly better without anyone’s help.
Two months had passed since the fifteen women left the world of evil cultivators. Today, all of them finished absorbing three drops each. Their bodies were like pure Yin, and Almin had to make Yang pills for them to stabilize. It was one of the most difficult pills for Almin to make, but his talent was flourishing again, and he succeeded. This left Langrum very thoughtful for some reason. A week later, everything was ready, and the risky plan was set in motion.
