Chapter 86 The Cat and the Disciples of Medicine King Valley
Half a month ago, Yaowang Valley received a letter for help from Yuelun City. The letter said that a strange epidemic had appeared in Yuelun City, so Yaowang Valley sent a team of five disciples to train and help the people here solve the suffering of the epidemic.
Five days ago was when they just arrived in Yuelun City.
The senior disciples leading the team this time are Bai Zhi and Liu Fuling, both of whom are in the early stage of Golden Core cultivation. The other three are Yu Anyang, Zhu Yan and Hua Bu Ran.
When they arrived at Yuelun City, they found that the place had been taken over and sealed off by Qingmu Sect, a sect affiliated with Yaowang Valley.
The person in charge of the Qingmu Sect here is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. He warmly received the five people and described the epidemic in the city as quite serious during the conversation, but claimed that everything was under control and was developing in a good direction.
Then invite them into the city for detailed discussions and arrange temporary accommodation.
However, on the way into the city, a frightened, ragged man suddenly jumped out from the corner, deliberately bumped into Bai Zhi, and quickly stuffed something into his arms.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "The Qingmu Sect are all liars! Don't believe them!"
Before the man could say a few words, the expression of the Qingmu Sect disciple leading them immediately became ferocious.
"Stop talking nonsense in front of the Immortal! Come, tie him up for me."
Liu Fuling stopped them: "It's nothing, let him go."
Upon hearing this, the disciples of Qingmu Sect looked unfriendly and reluctantly let the man go, shouting at him to get out.
They explained to the people in Medicine King Valley that the epidemic in Yuelun City was difficult to cure, and the city had been under lockdown for more than half a month. The people in the city did not understand them, and seeing that the epidemic could not be controlled, they began to complain, so they asked the people in Medicine King Valley not to take it to heart.
Bai Zhi remained expressionless and secretly put the thing away.
Yu Anyang asked, "Fellow Daoists, what is the current situation in the city? When will you take us to see the patient?"
The monk leading them spoke vaguely, "Everyone must have come from Medicine King Valley on a long journey. Why don't you rest here for a night? We will host a banquet for you tomorrow."
Hua Bu Ran is a straightforward person and doesn't care about all the twists and turns. He only knows that the purpose of this trip is to save people, not to attend any banquet.
The disciple of Qingmu Sect was speechless after being confronted by him. After taking them to their residence, he left immediately.
After the people walked away, Bai Zhi took out the note that the man had secretly stuffed into her arms. Several people gathered together to check and found that the crumpled note read: Qingmumen cannot be trusted. If you want to know more, come here at midnight.
There is a location written at the back.
The five people met face to face. Everyone saw the strange things along the way. Logically speaking, with the people from the Immortal Sect taking in the disease, no matter how serious the disease was, it should have improved. However, the disciples of Qingmu Sect did not mention anything about the disease.
There was not a single pedestrian on the city streets. Everyone was hiding in their houses, peeking at them through the cracks in the doors, looking very uneasy.
Bai Zhi said, "I'm afraid this experience isn't as simple as it seems."
Liu Fuling nodded, frowning slightly, and pointed to the location on the note and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Hua Bu Ran slammed his hands on the table and said, "Go, why not!"
Zhu Yan silently pulled his sleeve, signaling him not to be rude in front of his senior brothers and sisters.
Yu Anyang thought for a moment: "I think I can go."
After making a decision, Bai Zhi released her spiritual sense to check the surrounding situation. After a moment, she said, "There are two cultivators guarding the gate, and one hiding in the tree outside the house."
"It seems they don't trust us."
Zhu Yan took a step forward. Although he didn't say anything, everyone understood what he was thinking.
Liu Fuling nodded and said, "Let's wait until late at night before taking action."
The reason why Yuelun City is called this name is because of its geographical advantage, the moon is particularly clear at night.
However, the city was pitch black tonight, with no moonlight visible, and the cold wind was howling, bringing gusts of chill.
Zhu Yan first dealt with the monk on guard on the tree, while Bai Zhi and Liu Fuling dealt with the guard at the door.
He moved swiftly and without making any sound to greet the patrolling monks.
The five figures hid in the night and arrived at the agreed location quietly.
There was already someone waiting here. It was the person who bumped into them and handed them the note during the day.
Fu Jue looked at the people from Yaowang Valley who had come to keep the appointment, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he told them the whole cause and effect all at once.
He was the young master of the City Lord's Mansion in Yuelun City. When the epidemic first broke out in the city more than half a month ago, his father took the city's medical officials to run around, boiling medicine and giving acupuncture.
But the plague came in a strange way. Those infected first had a fever all over their body, and then red spots appeared on their skin. They died within three days. No matter what they did, they were helpless.
Just when the whole city was in panic, a group of monks in black came on the clouds, claiming to be disciples of Qingmu Sect, and said that they came to help them on the orders of their master.
The people in the city were very happy. His father was desperate and wanted to seek medical help, so he immediately agreed and personally opened the city gate to welcome him.
"At first, they were really well-organized. They set up a free clinic outside the City Lord's Mansion, and the medicine they distributed could really temporarily relieve the symptoms." Fu Jue clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.
"But before we could breathe a sigh of relief, their attitude suddenly changed. First, they sealed the city gates under the pretext of medical treatment, and then..."
His voice trembled. "My father was imprisoned and controlled, and all the guards in the mansion were replaced with people from the Qingmu Sect."
"A few days later, they started arresting people door to door. Regardless of whether they were infected or not, they were all arrested and imprisoned in the palace. Those who were arrested never came out again..."
At this point, tears rolled down Fu Jue's eyes. "My father took advantage of their unpreparedness and sent me out through a secret passage. He told me to seek help from Medicine King Valley even at the risk of my life. He said that only Medicine King Valley had both medical skills and was willing to care for the suffering of the world..."
Bai Zhi frowned when she heard this. Hua Bu Ran was already furious, and Zhu Yan held him back to stop him from raging.
The reason they came down the mountain this time was to receive a letter for help from Fu Jue, but they didn't expect that the Qingmu Sect was so bold and openly engaged in such shady activities.
"Blocking the city gates, imprisoning the city lord, and arresting civilians arbitrarily..."
Yu Anyang repeated in a low voice, his tone full of disbelief, "They arrested so many people, what on earth do they want to do?"
No one could answer this question, and the air seemed to freeze.
Bai Zhi made a quick decision: "This matter is of great importance. The Qingmu Sect dares to act this way. There must be a conspiracy behind it. Fuling, we must send a message to the valley immediately and request reinforcements!"
Before he finished speaking, a few sharp whistles were suddenly heard in the distance, followed by the sound of clothes being ripped by the wind.
Liu Fuling's expression changed: "Oh no, they're here!"
Several dark shadows rushed out from the night, and the cultivator in the lead was the Jindan cultivator from the daytime. He looked at the people in front of him and narrowed his eyes.
"Everyone, you are in such a good mood! It's the middle of the night and you still have the leisure to stroll around the city."
Seeing that the people in Medicine King Valley did not respond, he looked at them warily and prepared to attack.
Bai Wuchang suddenly felt bored and simply tore off his disguise: "Now that you know everything, let's all stay here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several spiritual attacks came over like poisonous snakes.
As the elder of the Duqingmu Sect who is in charge here, Bai Wuchang's strength should not be underestimated. As the spiritual power around him surged, a thick black resentment emanated. The cold resentment spread along with the spiritual power, and even made the air form a thin layer of frost.
Bai Zhi and Liu Fuling were both in the early stage of the Golden Core. They joined forces to use magic weapons to resist, but the evil spiritual power shocked their blood and made their arms numb. They gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Junior brothers and sisters, take Master Fu away first!"
