The southern border of Western Liang.
The long-sealed city gates finally opened to the dead city that everyone had abandoned. Inside, it was no longer a desolate place. People who had regained their lives walked out of the city. The people of Xiliang, whose homes did not belong to the southern border, couldn't wait to rush north, worried about their relatives and eager to see them.
The sentries of the neighboring city stared in astonishment at the people shouting below the city walls; it had been so long since they had seen anyone come from the south.
The walls were too high, and the shouts of the crowd were gradually weakened by the air. The cold autumn wind of Xiliang howled past, and the sentries standing on the city wall could not hear exactly what they were shouting, but they could make some sense from their anxious pointing to the city gate.
They then opened the city gate.
The sentry yelled back at them, "It won't open!"
Those above couldn't hear the shouts of those below, and those below naturally couldn't hear the shouts of these sentries either.
The two sides were just engaging in futile communication until the sentry on the city wall walked to the side, climbed up the wall despite the danger of falling, waved to the people below, and shouted hoarsely for them to go back.
The people below seemed to gradually realize that they would not open the city gates. They stood there shivering in the autumn wind for a while before reluctantly setting off back to the southern border.
The news that the people from the Southern Territory had emerged from that dead city was reported immediately. Li Tie, who was left in Wancheng, received the news and immediately set off for the city wall to see for himself.
Before leaving, the young master disregarded everyone's objections and sent away the Wind and Thunder Cavalry who had followed him since childhood. The old master of the Xie family could not agree with his actions and summoned the young master for questioning.
Not to mention Old Master Xie, even the Wind and Thunder Cavalry themselves were unwilling to be a woman's bodyguard. Rather than die of the plague, they would rather go north with the young master to fight a bloody battle, even if it meant dying on the battlefield.
It is unknown what the young master said to the old master, but in the end the old master agreed to send a group of Wind and Thunder Cavalry to protect Doctor Shu. The group that Xie Fu left behind was the one that Li Tie was in.
Li Tie strode through the city in his heavy armor. The increasingly cold autumn wind whipped against his armor. He heard no news about Doctor Shu from the sentries, which made him uneasy.
A month has passed. They escorted Shu Yun towards the capital of Xiliang, heading south. Shu Yun disregarded the young master's arrangements and their advice, heading straight south to the border town.
Shu Yun has been inside alone for a month now, and not a single word has come out of the house. The Wind and Thunder Cavalry who stayed with him have given up hope. Just yesterday, they received the final recall order from the Grand Master of Xiliang Royal City.
But today, people have emerged from that dead city, and not just one. According to the messages from the sentries on the city wall, many people have come out and gathered below the city wall, but the woman in the white dress is not among them; not even a slender figure has appeared.
This made Li Tie very upset. He still remembered the back view of Shu Yun when she left the city a month ago. She looked so frail. The wind and sand of Xiliang blew up her white dress, as if she could go with the wind. Yet she was carrying a huge package that was completely disproportionate to her size. It was full of medicinal herbs.
She drew her sword, creating a long, clear slash that separated her from the Wind and Thunder Cavalry. With a resolute tone, she refused any help, leaving everyone behind, and entered the dead city alone.
The fact that someone from the Southern Territory has emerged means that she has at least brought those terminally ill people back to life. Not only have they come back to life, but they have also managed to walk here safely. So where is she?
Upon hearing the news that people from the southern border had emerged, Li Tie ignored his captain's warning and strode towards the city wall. Perhaps because the wind was too dry, his face was very tense.
Li Tie felt aggrieved that the Wind and Thunder Cavalry let her go in alone, as he felt he had failed the young master's trust.
Inside the Southern Border City, Shu Yun carefully studied the prescription in the makeshift medicine shed that everyone had set up for her.
This prescription is not the same as that prescription; it is not used to treat the plague, but rather a common prescription to replenish the energy and nourish the body of those whose bodies are weakened by the plague.
As for the plague, why would a goddess like her ignore the shortcut to cure it and foolishly go and research a cure for the epidemic?
In the end, Feng Ziyi still contributed her strength to her great cause of saving Xiliang. After all, three pills were really not enough, and she had already used them up before entering the Southern Territory.
Helpless, she, who had always opposed Feng Ziyi's troublemaking, took the initiative for the first time to ask Feng Ziyi to cause trouble for the Dragon King of the East Sea.
To be precise, it was Feng Ziyi who picked on the hot-tempered little dragon girl from the Dragon King's family and openly started a fight.
Afterwards, Feng Ziyi told her smugly that the Little Dragon Girl could not only beat him in a fight, but also in a verbal battle, and was so angry that she cried.
Unfortunately, this was the East Sea, the territory of the Dragon King's family. When girls get angry, they lose all sense of reason and principle. The agreed-upon one-on-one fight turned into a full-blown brawl after Feng Ziyi was mocked by him. He summoned the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the East Sea and gave Feng Ziyi a good beating.
After receiving news that his son had caused trouble again, Nanpu went to Penglai immediately, only to find that Shuyun had not yet returned and the Dragon King's family was on their way to make trouble for him. With no other choice, he had to scrape together what he could and swallow his pride to ask other alchemy immortals in the Nine Heavens for some pills to use as an apology.
Feng Ziyi outwardly agreed with his father, assuring him that he would be sincere when he went to apologize, but in reality, he quickly brought these pills down to give to Shu Yun.
