"Keep investigating, keep probing! You must find out clearly how the Heavenly Temple is infiltrating the border people on the Human Demon Battlefield, their detailed strength, and the high command behind them. Remember, do not alarm the enemy."
"As for the overstaffing of fortress garrisons on the Human Demon Battlefield, continue investigating thoroughly as well. Find out the total number of troops each nearby fortress can mobilize.
If possible, try to trace the source of the standard-issue weapons held by these fortresses. Remember, better slow than hasty."
This was Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long's reply to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen had secretly reported to Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long both the Heavenly Temple's rampant proselytizing and recruitment of followers discovered in Dingbian Fortress, and the overstaffing of its garrison.
However, Ren Venerate Emperor Ji Long's response was beyond Ye Zhen's expectations.
