As time went by, the floodwaters that had besieged Jiulu City slowly receded, but never completely returned to the Tiansha River.

Powerful alchemical creatures are highly efficient at clearing ruins.

Soon, the cleared area was filled with wounded people.

Aside from vampires and merfolk who mimic humanoid forms, other alchemical creatures are basically seen as monsters by humans.

However, these monsters were, after all, helping to save people.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer instances of people exclaiming in alarm and scattering.

Furthermore, surviving government personnel appeared in the city to maintain order and organize rescue efforts.

Meanwhile, the powerful forces outside the city were also busy.

After the water receded, they sent people to investigate the situation.

The collapsed city wall revealed some activity within the city, making those people understand the situation.

After a brief discussion, the entire group went into the city to help.

This doesn't mean they care much about the lives of ordinary people, but rather that they want to curry favor with that "divine person."

For Wu You, the role of this group of people was to act as a temporary doctor.

Because each of them was skilled in martial arts, they were all very knowledgeable about the vital points and acupoints of the human body.

People with high martial arts skills are basically half physicians, and they also have internal energy to help assist in the treatment and stabilize injuries.

Therefore, Bai Yanxi welcomed this group of people to come and help.

Wu You had hastily dragged him from his home, never expecting that he would have to treat so many people.

It really wore out Old Man Bai's old bones.

If I hadn't applied a little bit of the rejuvenating ointment to my joints and head, I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

However, Old Man Bai's exhaustion has only just begun; he won't be able to get a proper rest for the next couple of days.

In the blink of an eye, the disaster relief efforts have been ongoing for three days.

Two more injured people were found in a patch of rubble that had just been cleared. Wu You was carrying one of them under each arm and walking towards the crowded open space.

Many temporary shelters have been set up over there to provide people with shelter from the wind and rain.

Of course, with Wu You and Ao Guang around, there won't be any wind or rain in the Jiulu area these next few days.

Both injured men were middle-aged and, apart from minor fractures in their hands and feet, were otherwise in good condition.

Aside from the occasional groan of pain, there was little other communication.

They held Wu You in great awe, but fear outweighed respect. All the towering, rock-like demons treated this divine being with utmost deference.

An elderly man with a short white beard and wearing a green robe approached Wu You casually from the side.

He took over helping Wu You support someone, and then said politely.

"Greetings, Immortal!"

Wu You ignored him, instead handing over the other person in his hand to him, and then walked away.

This kind of attempt to get close has happened many times.

Wu Youcai spoke a few words to the people from the imperial court.

But the gist was that they were asked to arrange disaster relief as soon as possible, such as food and heating, while ignoring everything else.

The old man in green robes showed no embarrassment. He first placed the injured person in his hands in an open space, and then moved closer to Wu You's position.

"Does the Immortal Master know of the Heretic?"

Clearly, this is a master from the Liu family.

Wu You paused for a moment after hearing this, then continued with what he was doing as if nothing had happened.

He won't stay in Jiulu for too long. He'll try to finish what he can do, and then hand over the rest to the Qin Dynasty and the surrounding forces.

He didn't care whether the people here hated him to the bone for the destruction caused by the battle between the Azure Dragon and the Blood Dragon, or whether they were grateful for him for killing the Blood Dragon and saving the disaster victims.

The old man in the green robe didn't ask any more questions and went to help others elsewhere.

Wu You's pause just now had already revealed a huge amount of information to him, and it wouldn't be good to keep asking questions and cause resentment.

A long queue had formed outside the porridge distribution shed not far away, and the person in charge of distributing the porridge was a guest of the Liu family.

The old man in green robes gave him a subtle nod.

In just a short while, a relatively young man emerged from behind the soup kitchen.

After looking around and finding no one paying attention, the man used his movement technique to head out of the city.

Meanwhile, intelligence reports were being urgently dispatched by spies from various factions to their respective strongholds.

In the Imperial Study, where the capital city of Shengjing is located.

A senior eunuch rushed in, interrupting the current emperor, Ying Huan, from writing.

"Your Majesty, an urgent report from Jiangzhou: scouts are outside."

Ying Huan put down the pen from the pen holder.

"Bring him in."

After bowing, the chief eunuch immediately went out and returned a moment later with a dusty-looking armored soldier.

He clasped his hands in a fist and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Get up. What's the situation in Jiangzhou? Is the encirclement and suppression of the Blood Dragon going smoothly?"

The soldier first said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Then he stood up to answer.

"Your Majesty, Jiangzhou has suffered a great upheaval. It took me six horses to die on the way to deliver the news. The Blood Dragon was killed by a celestial being who appeared from beyond the heavens, and a large number of demons under the celestial being's command have appeared in Jiulu City."

"Please review the details, Your Majesty. I fear I may have forgotten something, so I have already written it down on the way."

As he spoke, the armored soldier took out a rolled-up piece of silk from his bosom.

The appearance of the term "immortals and gods" made Ying Huan frown.

He took the silk cloth from the armored soldier and spread it out on the table.

The more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.

Immortals and deities appeared from beyond the heavens with divine beasts, and their loud pronouncements indicated that the Blood Dragon was a demon that was disturbing the mortal world.

The Azure Dragon descended from the sky and fought a great battle with the Blood Flood Dragon, almost destroying the entire Jiulu City, which was caught in the crossfire, in a short period of time.

It can summon wind and thunder, causing the earth to shake during battles.

And that final strike was like the might of heaven descending upon the world.

Invincible!

Even without witnessing it firsthand, Ying Huan could imagine the sheer awe-inspiring power of the heavens that could split the earth, destroy cities, and shake mountains and rivers in an instant.

During the subsequent rescue operation, the deity summoned a vast number of strange mythical beasts with a wave of his hand to help save the victims.

Later, during the treatment process, a life-saving "miracle drug" appeared.

That's truly a life-saving miracle drug; as long as someone isn't dead, a little bit of it can bring them back to life.

If it weren't for the fact that the "person" who controlled this medicine was truly terrifying, Ying Huan believed that all forces would put aside the disaster and fight for this ointment first.

He hurriedly asked the armored soldier.

Where are the immortals and gods now?

The armored soldier reported: "They are still in Jiulu City."

Ying Huan turned to the head eunuch.

"Issue an imperial edict to the Minister of the Imperial Treasury and the Minister of Agriculture to immediately arrange disaster relief. Also, summon the Crown Prince to see me."

The head eunuch said "Yes" and hurriedly left.

Afterwards, Ying Huan asked the armored soldier about various details and then sent him away to rest.

He walked to the desk and carefully read the information on the silk cloth again, and then took out the message that the Liu family had sent in Leping City.

"What is the meaning of the strange man's claim that the Blood Dragon is disturbing the mortal world? My realm is the mortal world, so what lies beyond the mortal world? Can I take this opportunity to achieve immortality?"

"Emperors of all dynasties have been called the Son of Heaven. May I take another step closer to Heaven?"

Even with his superior martial arts skills and noble status, Ying Huan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
