Barbarian Kingdom, branch of the Holy Physician Hall.
The flickering candlelight cast eerie and distorted shadows of several figures dressed in pure white robes onto the wall.
The leading healer smiled compassionately as he looked at Wu Feng and Qing Yao before him.
And a group of newly brainwashed believers,
"very good."
His voice was passionate.
"You have already felt the blessings of our God. Now, it is time for you to repay the God and go to save all living beings."
Wu Feng lowered his head, concealing the wariness in his eyes.
Qingyao, playing the role of a completely brainwashed fanatic, asked excitedly with shining eyes, "Please instruct us, Your Excellency! Where should we go to save those poor lambs?"
The messenger of the God of Medicine nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling on the location of Qingzhou on the map.
"A filthy place inhabited by evil gods."
"The people there have been bewitched by evil gods, worshipping them day and night. They have long lost their minds and are sinking into false bliss, waiting for us to save them."
Wu Feng's heart stirred, and he followed up the conversation by asking, "I wonder what kind of evil god the envoy is speaking of?"
The envoy's smile instantly turned cold and contemptuous.
"She stole the power of the mountains and rivers, and called herself..."
"Mountain Goddess".
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Feng felt his heart almost stop beating.
He instinctively gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, his fingers turning white.
Qingyao's body stiffened. If the Mountain Goddess hadn't already given her a heads-up, she probably would have revealed her true form on the spot and swallowed the head of the person in front of her whole!
Even so, she still pretended to be both enlightened and indignant.
"So it was her! I knew it! A legitimate deity wouldn't resort to such elaborate tricks! Rest assured, sir, we will definitely rescue those deceived believers from the clutches of the evil god!"
"Well said!"
The envoy was greatly impressed and took out a black cloth bag from his bosom, from which he poured out a pile of beads the size of longan fruits, which were entirely black.
The bead exuded a sweet yet chilling aura.
"This is a 'purifying pill' bestowed by our God."
"If those followers of evil gods take it, their corrupted souls will be cleansed and they will be returned to the embrace of our God."
As he spoke, he distributed most of the beads to the other two people.
It was Zhang Yu and Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing, dressed in a practical outfit and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail, complained as she took the large bag of black beads, "Wow, so many! The envoy is really too kind to us!"
Wu Feng's heart sank to the bottom.
Zhang Jing is also a time traveler. She is very popular in the factory at the foot of the desolate mountain and can get along with anyone.
The believers in the desolate mountains would not have the slightest suspicion if she were to distribute the goods!
These people were definitely prepared!
Just as Qingyao was racking her brains, trying to figure out how to get rid of these beads without making a sound, a clear and dignified voice rang out from the depths of her soul.
"Qingyao".
It's the voice of the Mountain Goddess!
Qingyao held her breath instantly.
"Touch all the beads together."
"Then, continue sending them out as usual."
The Mountain Goddess's instructions were simple and clear, but they left Qingyao somewhat bewildered.
Should we distribute it as usual? For the believers to eat?
However, she did not hesitate at all.
She immediately straightened her back, took a step forward, and took the small bag of beads belonging to her and Wu Feng from the messenger's hands, her face showing unprecedented determination.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency!"
"Wu Feng and I swear to complete this mission to the death, and we will never fail the expectations of the gods!"
…
The area at the foot of Tianyu Mountain was bustling with activity.
The story of the two empresses jointly worshipping the gods has spread far and wide, attracting even more onlookers and those who want to pay homage.
Zhang Jing carried a food box and weaved through the crowd with a smile.
Behind her followed her sister Zhang Yu, as well as the expressionless Wu Feng and Qing Yao, and several other medical envoys who had also changed into ordinary people's clothing.
"Hey, Mo'er! Try this!"
Zhang Jing stopped a passing girl, took a black bead from the food box, and handed it to her.
"The factory's newly developed candy beans are great for boosting energy, and they're sweet!"
Lin Mo was already on good terms with them, so she didn't suspect anything and took the bead and put it in her mouth.
"Hmm, it's actually quite sweet!"
Her eyes lit up, and she took a few more and shared them with the sisters around her.
Once there's a first one, there's bound to be a second.
"Everyone come and try this! It's a factory perk—new candy, it's free!"
Zhang Jing's clear and crisp voice quickly attracted everyone's attention.
The believers on the mountain were already familiar with her, and when they heard that it was a new product from the factory, they all gathered around, one bead for each of them, and in the blink of an eye, the black beads in the food box were gone.
Everyone who ate it praised it highly.
"It's sweet and quite delicious."
"Yes, it makes me feel warm all over after eating it."
However, the words had barely left his mouth.
The smiles on the faces of the believers who had eaten the beads suddenly froze.
Their eyes gradually became empty and dull, like puppets that had lost their souls.
Immediately afterwards, they turned around in unison, started walking, and walked step by step towards the dense forest outside the mountain.
His back view looked perfectly normal.
If the snake woman and the witch hadn't been prepared beforehand, they probably would have just assumed that this was a normal departure.
In the woods, shadows were everywhere.
Several white-robed medical envoys who had been waiting there slowly emerged from behind the tree, looking at the lost sheep approaching one by one, with satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Return to the embrace of the God of Healing, you lost sheep!"
"Only by believing in the God of Healing can one have a chance to attain eternal life!"
"All your previous beliefs were just a disguise of evil gods!"
"The evil god uses those petty benefits to deceive you, just to take your lives!"
"Return, children!"
"Under the grace of the God of Healing, you will gain eternal life!"
"From now on, you will have no more suffering or pain!"
"Because the God of Healing can cure everything!"
"Children, pray sincerely!"
"Let us welcome the new awakened ones!"
Finally, those white-robed messengers even made strange gestures.
He bowed deeply.
Tianyu Divine Mountain, Mountain God Temple.
Yu Luo, clad in a golden divine robe, hovered high atop the temple, silently watching them lead their followers away.
A glint of gold flashed in her eyes.
Then, one golden camellia after another silently disappeared into the bodies of those people.
