Chapter 87 The Cat Takes Risks
Bai Zhi shouted sternly, summoning her own life-defying weapon and forcibly blocking the opponent's attack.
Liu Fuling also tacitly used her magic weapon to stop the pursuers who were chasing the four people.
In the melee, Yu Anyang protected Fu Jue, and Zhu Yan carried Hua Bu Ran who wanted to help, and broke out of the city under the cover of night.
Not long after, the pursuers caught up. In order to kill them, Zhu Yan was hit in the back. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible and bleeding continuously.
After finally getting rid of the pursuers, the three of them, led by Fu Jue, entered a secret passage that was usually used for drainage. Only then did they manage to escape from Yuelun City and come to this village hidden in the valley.
"This is where the people of Yuelun City who are willing to follow me will be settled."
Fu Jue looked at the coughing figure in the tent not far away and said in a low voice, "Half of the people here are infected with the disease. I previously learned some methods from the Qingmu Sect to suppress the epidemic. They are keeping them alive, but it only treats the symptoms and not the root cause..."
Senior Brother Bai Zhi and Senior Sister Liu Fuling did not catch up, and Yu Anyang, Zhu Yan, and Hua Bu Ran felt depressed.
The current situation of the two most powerful disciples is unknown. The jade talisman used to communicate with Medicine King Valley has always been on Bai Zhi. Now they are like kites with a broken string. Relying solely on the message to send messages back and forth will delay them for a considerable amount of time. By the time reinforcements arrive, I'm afraid that my brothers and sisters will...
The three of them discussed for a while and decided that Yu Anyang, who was the most meticulous, would sneak back to Yuelun City with the map of the City Lord's Mansion provided by Fu Jue to investigate.
Among the three of them, Zhu Yan, who has the highest cultivation, is injured, Hua Bu Ran is impatient and easily exposed, and only Yu Anyang, who is calm and cautious, is the most suitable for this task.
However, there is no rush to plan for now. They have just escaped from Yuelun City, and Bai Wuchang will definitely step up patrols. Going back now will undoubtedly be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
They lay low for a few days, and when the guards in the city were not as strict as before, Yu Anyang used the intricate alleys and maps of Yuelun City to gradually figure out the defenses of the Qingmu Gate.
He probably knew that Bai Zhi and Liu Fuling were imprisoned deep in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion, which was heavily guarded, with only a short break between guard changes.
He had been lurking in the city for two days. At dawn today, he was planning to return along the same route, but he accidentally alarmed the patrolling Qingmumen monks.
He was being chased all the way. If he hadn't happened to meet Bai Qingchen passing by, he would have probably become a dead soul under the other party's whip.
After hearing this, Bai Qingchen's face turned solemn. The situation was worse than he had imagined.
He turned and walked towards the tents of the patients. Yu Anyang quickly stepped forward and handed him a clean cloth: "Mr. Bai, be careful of infection. Please cover your mouth and nose."
Bai Qingchen waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary.
He walked to a patient who was coughing constantly and had a pale face. He squatted down and gently placed his fingers on the patient's wrist pulse. At the same time, a very subtle trace of spiritual power probed into his body to check.
After a moment, he let go of her hand and frowned tightly.
It's a demonic plague.
Moreover, unlike the low-level demonic plague he had encountered before in Zibai Mansion, this one was a more sinister one that specifically targeted ordinary people and spread extremely strong demonic plague.
This kind of demonic plague was not uncommon during the war between immortals and demons in previous lives. It was a despicable tactic often used by demonic cultivators. However, for the young disciples of the Medicine King Valley today, it is normal that they lack experience and are unable to identify and deal with it.
He stood up and waved to Yu Anyang.
Yu Anyang immediately moved closer, with an attitude as respectful as if he was listening to a teacher's instruction.
Bai Qingchen quickly and clearly explained how this demonic plague could be resolved, how many core spiritual medicines were needed, and how to refine them.
Yu Anyang listened very carefully, and the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Bai Qingchen's few words were like a ray of sunshine that cleared the clouds, instantly solving all the confusion he had been having for the past few days. Many of the medication tips that he had been unable to figure out before suddenly became clear.
He was so excited that his voice trembled a little: "Thank you Mr. Bai for your guidance. I will go and prepare the medicine right away."
The disciples of Yaowang Valley carried a fairly complete set of medicinal materials with them. Following Bai Qingchen's instructions, Yu Anyang quickly prepared the prescription, boiled it into a decoction and distributed it to the patients.
Within half an hour after taking the medicine, the coughs of the most seriously ill patients were relieved a lot, and the red spots on their bodies gradually faded. Although they were still weak, they were obviously out of danger.
Fu Jue, who had been helping to take care of the patient, was very excited to see such miraculous results.
He walked up to Bai Qingchen and Yu Anyang, and actually knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Immortals, for saving everyone in Yuelun City!"
He raised his head, pleading in his eyes, "Master, I know this request is excessive, but there are still many people trapped in the city, controlled by the Qingmu Sect."
"Moon City used to be a wonderful place, with picturesque scenery and simple folk customs... I beg you, can you... think of a way to save them..."
As he spoke, the young city lord kowtowed heavily again.
Yu Anyang quickly helped him up: "Rescuing the dying and the wounded is the rule of Medicine King Valley. Brother Fu, there is no need to do this."
Bai Qingchen looked at the expectation in the young man's eyes and the land ravaged by the evil plague, and had already made a decision in his heart.
Publicly, saving the dying and the wounded is the foundation of Yaowang Valley. Now that he has encountered this situation, he cannot stand idly by; privately, this place is where his mother was born and has a connection with him, so he cannot ignore it.
Yu Anyang and the other two disciples of Yaowang Valley also looked over with firm eyes.
Rescuing their fellow disciples, contacting the people in the valley, eradicating the evil cultivators, and saving the people are what they must do.
Several people gathered around and began to discuss how to rescue the imprisoned Bai Zhi and Liu Fuling.
Only by rescuing them can we obtain the communication jade talisman, contact the Medicine King Valley to send reinforcements, and completely resolve the crisis in Yuelun City.
Yu Anyang detailed the intelligence he had gathered: "My two senior brothers and sisters are being held in the dungeon in the backyard of the Qingmu Sect's headquarters. It's heavily guarded, and the disciples patrolling there are all at the Foundation Establishment stage. The secret passage we escaped through earlier must have been discovered and can no longer be used."
"If we force our way in, we're outnumbered and our cultivation isn't superior."
Zhu Yan listened silently, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt of the sword. His injuries were almost healed, and he would also go on this operation.
Hua Bu Ran said anxiously, "What should we do? We can't just sit there and wait!"
Bai Qingchen pondered for a moment and took out several jade talismans with complex spatial patterns from his storage bag.
"Maybe I have a way to get in and out." He showed the jade talisman in his hand.
"This is a short-distance directional teleportation symbol. It requires setting a spatial coordinate point inside and outside the target area to achieve accurate teleportation. I can sneak into the city first and find a secluded place near the City Lord's Mansion to set the coordinate points inside the city."
If the coordinates of an ordinary teleportation array are not determined in advance, it can only control the approximate direction, and its specific appearance depends entirely on fate.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the teleportation talisman in his hand, with hope burning in their eyes.
Mo Li listened from the side, frowning slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Qingchen, it's too dangerous for you to sneak in alone, I will go with you!"
Bai Qingchen shook his head and patted his shoulder: "Mo Li, I understand your intentions. You stay here and help me protect the people in the base, okay? They need someone to protect them, and this is also a very important matter." His tone was gentle but unquestionable.
Mo Li's lips moved, and looking at Bai Qingchen's determined eyes, he finally swallowed his words and nodded sullenly: "...Okay, then Brother Qingchen, you must be careful."
Seeing this, Hua Bu Ran couldn't help but interrupt, "Hey, don't worry, little brother! We will protect Mr. Bai! We promise to bring him back to you safe and sound!" His tone was a little teasing, which diluted the tense atmosphere.
