Chapter 521 Emperor San's Unexpected Strategy
Ever since the Da Dao Sect's high-level meeting ended that day, this unknown strange disease has spread throughout the mountain gate at an extremely terrifying speed.
Even though he had issued an imperial decree in advance, ordering the disciples to take extra precautions, isolate themselves as much as possible, and not go out and contact others.
Various kinds of elixirs were also distributed to the disciples as needed.
but……
All these measures are useless!
The speed of transmission of the strange disease and its lethality to low-level cultivators far exceeded the imagination of the Da Dao Sect's top leaders.
In less than a month, almost all the disciples of the Dao Sect were infected with this strange disease. And not all disciples were lucky enough to enjoy the magical medicine such as the Creation Purple Gold Pill.
When it comes to this strange disease, ordinary elixirs are more of a comforting effect than a practical effect.
It all depends on the monk's personal luck.
Those with mild infection gradually recovered after a period of pain. Although their cultivation level dropped, they at least saved their lives.
Most of them had very serious symptoms. They tried all kinds of life-saving methods and secret techniques, but still failed to survive.
What’s even worse is that everyone in the Da Dao Sect is in danger now.
Even if they died, no one dared to collect their bodies. They just stood far away, took precautions, and used magic to completely destroy the bodies, which served as a simple funeral.
Inside the Da Dao Sect, there was a gloomy atmosphere and constant wailing.
It is really hard to imagine that this is one of the most powerful sects in the world of immortal cultivation today.
If this is the case in the Da Dao Sect, one can imagine the dire situation in other places.
On this day, Sect Leader Ji Changxi once again summoned Senior Sister Zhao and Li Fan to the sect's main hall to discuss the matter of this strange disease.
“Ahem…”
As soon as I entered the hall, I heard coughing sounds coming from all directions.
All the elders and the headmaster Ji Changxi no longer had the spirited look they had before.
I felt sick, but I was trying to keep myself alert.
Many elders simply lay down, with several puppets surrounding them, gently beating and massaging them, and they groaned from time to time.
Although they were in the same hall, Li Fan discovered that they were isolated from each other by prohibitions and formations.
"How are you two doing lately?"
Sect Leader Ji asked.
"Thank you for your concern, Master. We have taken three Creation Purple Gold Pills in this month. Now Li Fan and I are fine. Many of the symptoms have disappeared, and I believe we will recover soon." Senior Sister Zhao replied with her head down.
"Hehe, although it's a good thing, we must not be careless in the future and we need to pay attention to personal protection. According to the current situation, if you get this strange disease, even if you recover, you will face a second or even multiple infections..." Ji Changxi said solemnly.
Senior Sister Zhao couldn't help but change color slightly.
But before she could respond, Ji Changxi spoke again: "I called you here today because I have a mission for you."
"Now, after a period of investigation, we have reached a preliminary conclusion on the origin of this strange disease."
Li Fan immediately listened attentively.
"We had previously speculated that this disease was caused by an immortal who had reversed some principle of heaven and earth. It was only recently that we were able to determine what that principle was."
"In the eyes of immortal cultivators, mortals are like ants. But once this disease breaks out, even mortals can kill immortals!" A trace of uncontrollable anger flashed in Ji Changxi's eyes.
"The source of this strange disease is actually a plague that spread among the mortal community a few years ago."
"Originally, it was completely incapable of harming us cultivators, but after the manipulation of this Immortal Lord, a qualitative change has occurred. It can now pose a threat to our lives."
"Haha, it can be called the [Immortal Plague]"
"I don't know what this immortal realm expert is thinking, and what his purpose is to kill us. But the current situation is a little out of control."
"Out of control?" Senior Sister Zhao was stunned. "Could it be that this immortal plague has developed to this extent?"
Ji Changxi shook his head: "You have been staying in the sect the whole time. I don't know what happened in the outside world in the past month."
"It's no secret that the source of the Immortal Plague is a mortal. This matter has spread among the Immortal Cultivators."
"Those monks who were dying because of the Immortal Plague began to slaughter mortals wantonly in order to vent their anger. Now, the mountainside is like a purgatory."
“Instead of looking for trouble with that Immortal Heavenly Venerable, they vent their anger on mortals. They bully the weak and fear the strong, they are really a bunch of trash, they deserve to die!” Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Senior Sister Zhao’s beautiful eyes.
Ji Changxi said at this time: "It is normal for a dying person to lose his mind. It is not their fault."
"It's true that slaughtering mortals on a large scale is a bit excessive. This [Immortal Plague] is hidden deep in the bodies of mortals. Even if the mortals die, this [Immortal Plague] will not dissipate. Instead, it will spread everywhere."
"Besides, if we really let them kill all the mortals, how can we maintain it..."
Ji Changxi paused slightly.
"Therefore, this kind of crazy behavior must be stopped."
"All the elders are busy searching for and researching ways to combat the Immortal Plague and cannot be free. After much deliberation, I can only entrust this important task to the two of you."
"Of course, the Xuanhuang Realm is vast, and it is definitely not enough for the two of you alone. Not only our Da Dao Sect, but other sects will also send disciples to save the lives of mortals."
Senior Sister Zhao first said "I obey your command", and then raised her doubts: "In the past, those cultivators might have been afraid of the reputation of our Ten Immortal Sects and stopped slaughtering mortals. But now most of them are crazy and incurable..."
Ji Changxi also knew what she meant, so he waved his hand to interrupt her, and then said, "For those who have completely lost their minds, there is no need to waste any more words, just kill them and be done with it. As for the others, you can tell them that our Ten Immortal Sects have figured out a way to deal with the [Immortal Plague]. Ask them to wait patiently and not commit innocent murders again."
When Senior Sister Zhao heard this, her expression became a little strange: "Have you really found a way to deal with the [Immortal Plague]?"
To her surprise, Ji Changxi actually nodded slightly: "It was the suggestion made by the immortal beast from the Beast Taming Sect. Since the [Immortal Plague] originated from mortals, and mortals cannot be completely killed, then we just need to banish them all to the caves and small worlds affiliated with the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Without mortals, the concentration of the Immortal Plague in Xuanhuang Realm will surely be greatly reduced. After that, it won't be difficult to completely eliminate its influence. At the very least, it will allow cultivators like me to live a normal life. We can do it."
“Although the feasibility of the plan is still under discussion and evaluation, it should not be a big problem.”
"The Great Migration Plan..."
"Just tell those monks this! If there's a glimmer of hope, they won't be so crazy."
