Chapter 534 It's fate, not disease

Li Yanmo frowned and reached out to hook the pieces of black meat. The black gas emanating from them made Li Yanmo frown.

"The filthy air of greed, anger, and ignorance..."

Li Yanmo looked at Xiao Cui with flickering eyes.

Xiao Cui is also a mortal like Yingjiu.

It is impossible to live in this world without being tainted by greed, anger, and ignorance, but the problem is that the filthy aura around Xiao Cui is too strong.

Leng Ningshuang, as a constable of Bingmen, knew more. He could tell the condition of the black meat at a glance. He sent a message to Li Yanmo, "Brother Li, there is something wrong with Xiao Cui. This is a sign that her body has been completely corroded by the filthy air, but..."

Leng Ningshuang paused and then transmitted the message, "This Xiao Cui is only seventeen years old. Even if she has been killing people every minute since her mother's womb, she can't have accumulated so much filthy energy. This amount of filthy energy is enough to turn an ordinary beast into a monster!"

Li Yanmo just felt that something was wrong. After hearing Leng Ningshuang's words, Li Yanmo immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although Nuyao was waiting for the results from the Tianji Tower, she was also paying attention to how things developed.

After hearing what Leng Ningshuang said, Nv Yao suddenly realized, "No wonder I always feel that there are no living people around. Each of them has accumulated a lot of filthy energy in their bodies, enough to turn into a monster!"

Yingjiu was just a mortal and could not hear the voice transmission, but he could see Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang frowning. His already pale face turned pale immediately and he knelt on the ground, "Two Immortals! Xiao Cui was a kind-hearted girl who did good deeds and helped others a lot. She didn't deserve this ending!"

"Don't be anxious," Li Yanmo shook his head, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xiao Cui's forehead, slowly pouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth produced by the stellar golden elixir into Xiao Cui's body.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowed through Xiao Cui's body, Li Yanmo's brows furrowed even deeper.

Xiao Cui is very healthy.

"Xiao Jiu, I feel much better now," Xiao Cui said softly, "Thank you for your help, Immortal."

Yingjiu was stunned and stared at Xiao Cui for a while. Seeing that Xiao Cui's face had indeed regained some color and her breathing had become much steadier, he was overjoyed and wanted to kowtow to express his gratitude again.

Li Yanmo looked at Xiao Cui deeply. Xiao Cui dodged for a moment and then showed a pleading look.

"Yingjiu, I didn't cure Xiaocui's health."

Yingjiu was struck by lightning and stammered, not knowing what to say. Xiao Cui's subconscious action of turning her face away made Yingjiu realize that Li Yanmo was not lying.

"Yingjiu, where is the doctor in Yinmu Town?"

Yingjiu, who regarded Li Yanmo as his last hope, hurriedly led the way.

The clinic is located in the center of Yinmu Town. The only doctor is folding paper ingots in front of the door. Seeing Yingjiu coming, the doctor shook his head helplessly, "Xiaojiu, it's useless no matter how many times you come."

"Doctor Huang, these two immortals want to see you about something," Yingjiu clenched his fists, ignored the doctor's persuasion, and introduced Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang to the doctor.

"Immortal?"

Doctor Huang was stunned and looked at Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang. Cultivators have their own aura. As long as they don't hide their abilities, even children can easily tell who are the cultivators.

Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang had no intention of hiding anything, so Doctor Huang could naturally see that the immortal that Yingjiu mentioned was not lying.

But Doctor Huang did not show any surprise. Instead, he sighed again, "Since you two are cultivators, you naturally understand Xiao Cui's condition better than a mortal like me. It's not an illness, but fate."

Yingjiu immediately clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "That's a disease! Xiaocui has never hurt anyone, she shouldn't do this!"

Doctor Huang did not answer, but just sighed. This reaction made Li Yanmo realize a certain possibility. He immediately sent a message to Leng Ningshuang, "Xiao Cui's situation is definitely not an isolated case. It is probably the norm in Guizhou. Isn't there any record of it at the military gate?"

Leng Ningshuang shook her head. "I had never heard of this kind of [strange disease] in Ghost State before I came here, and the files related to the Ghost Sect did not mention it either."

"This Ghost State is a big state. As a super sect, the Ghost Sect has never been a peaceful one. The Military Sect will not be stingy with its manpower. Even if it is an unsolved case, the Military Sect will record it, unless..."

Leng Ningshuang paused and looked doubtful, but still said, "This [strange disease] is not something absurd or bizarre in the eyes of the people of Guizhou, but something that ordinary mortals will experience, just like birth, aging, sickness and death. So the people of Guizhou have never asked the military for help?"

Li Yanmo remembered the black meat emitting black gas that Xiao Cui spit out. That was not something that a mortal should experience. But when he thought of the attitude of the old man and Doctor Huang, and their statement that it was fate, not a disease, Li Yanmo hesitated.

This [problem] must be related to the Ghost Sect’s orthodoxy!

"Doctor Huang, is it possible that no one has ever cured this disease?" Leng Ningshuang asked while messaging Li Yanmo.

"If a lot of people died from this [strange disease], even if ordinary people didn't report it, the military would definitely intervene and investigate, leaving a case record. Ghost State has existed for so long, if everyone who got this [strange disease] would die, then the death toll would have reached an outrageous level long ago, so there must be a way to survive."

When Leng Ningshuang asked this question, Yingjiu's eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing that Yingjiu had no intention of giving up, Doctor Huang had no choice but to point to the south. "Someone has indeed [cured] her, but they all went to Juezhou and met with Buddhist disciples. If you can walk through the territory of the evil monster tribe and reach Juezhou, you may be able to find a way to save Xiaocui."

"The evil demon tribe?"

Yingjiu was stunned and asked anxiously.

"All we have to do is pass through the territory of the fierce demon tribe and reach the Buddhist sect!"

"Yes."

"Okay! I'll leave right away!"

Seeing Yingjiu so determined, Dr. Huang shook his head helplessly.

Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang looked at each other and realized something was wrong.

Hearing that Yingjiu was going to Juezhou, Xiaocui, who had been quiet, suddenly became excited and even coughed up several mouthfuls of black meat. "No, you are just a mortal. You will die if you go to the territory of the fierce demon tribe!"

"Xiao Cui, I have made up my mind. Believe me. Besides... with the two immortals here, I will definitely be able to reach Juezhou!"

"but……"

"I don't believe this is fate!"

Xiao Cui wanted to say something more, but seeing Yingjiu so determined, Xiao Cui could only sigh, turned over, turned her back to Yingjiu, and stopped talking.

Yingjiu didn't say anything else, but packed his luggage and left.

A stone tablet with the word "凶" written on it stands on the ground. Behind it is the territory of the evil demon clan where bones are scattered all over the ground. It is difficult for even cultivators to pass through the territory of the evil demon clan, let alone mortals.

Looking at the territory of the evil demon tribe that was completely invisible, Ying Jiu swallowed subconsciously, but he quickly clenched his fists, turned around and bowed to Li Yanmo and Leng Ningshuang.

"Thank you both for helping me. If we encounter any evil monsters, please don't worry about me!"

Li Yanmo raised his hand and waved, "Don't worry, just move forward."
