Chapter 244: Eliminate All Evil, Evil Blood Cocoon
Cocoon. The sword-wielding man had previously noticed a significant difference in the manner of death between the two disciples, Mo Hu and his brother.
The hook-nosed elder had been beheaded with a single sword strike, and his body bore numerous sword wounds.
Clearly,
he had been killed by the old doctor. Given the old doctor’s previously demonstrated formidable prowess, his ability to slay the hook-nosed elder wasn’t entirely surprising.
What truly shocked the sword-wielding man was Mo Hu’s death.
With the exception of his head, everything else was a mess, twisted beyond recognition, a truly gruesome sight.
This wasn’t the old doctor’s style, leaving only one possibility: Mo Hu had died at Lu Qing’s hands.
After all, Lu Qing and his disciple were the only ones there.
This, however, left the sword-wielding man with a lingering disbelief, and he sought personal confirmation.
“Yes, didn’t I tell you, Senior, that Mo Hu poses no threat to me?” Lu Qing nodded.
“It was really the young master who killed him…”
The sword-wielding man was inexpressibly shocked.
You see, Mo Hu had a broken arm and had been injured by the old doctor before.
But he was still a true Innate Realm Minor Success, yet he was killed by a teenager.
And wasn’t Lu Qing skilled with the bow? Why did Mo Hu’s death look like he’d been beaten to death by brute force?
The sword-wielding man was shocked, yet many questions arose.
However, Lu Qing didn’t give him a chance to inquire, as he sensed that Ma Gu and his companions had already entered Liuyun Town.
“What exactly happened here?”
At the entrance to Liuyun Town, Ma Gu and his companions drove a carriage down the street, their surroundings horrified.
The eerie sight of the human-shaped bloodstains and the clothing they had stained were terrifying, sending chills down their spines.
No wonder Lu Qing hadn’t let them follow him earlier. This strange scene made it clear that something horrible had occurred in the town.
The chubby middle-aged man, in particular, was incredibly relieved.
Fortunately, Doctor Chen and his men had insisted on not entering the town. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the bloodstains on the streets were from their masters and disciples.
Thinking of this, the chubby middle-aged man froze for a moment.
Could it be that Doctor Chen and his men had foreseen this?
“Master, which way are we going?”
Wei Zi’an asked, feeling a little apprehensive as he gazed at the quiet streets.
“Let’s wait a moment. Since the young master and the master are already in town, they must have sensed our approach.”
As soon as Ma Gu finished speaking, a figure darted in from the front and appeared in front of the carriage.
“Young master!”
Ma Gu pulled the reins to the carriage, exclaiming in surprise.
The others also beamed.
There was nothing they could do. The current state of Liuyun Town was too eerie, making them all uneasy.
“Since you’re here, follow me. Master is over there,” Lu Qing said.
“Young master, these are…” Ma Gu pointed to the human-shaped bloodstains on the street.
“Those are just ordinary townspeople, transformed by the Flowing Cloud Sect’s unholy methods. Don’t worry, they pose no threat to you,” Lu Qing said calmly.
But the content of his words horrified Ma Gu and the others.
The Flowing Cloud Sect was so ruthless, even the townspeople at the foot of their own mountain weren’t spared.
The carriage followed Lu Qing all the way to the restaurant.
As they passed by, they saw the bodies of the two hooked-nosed elders and the utterly devastated streets, which only added to their fear.
Though dead, the two bodies still exuded a terrifying aura.
It was clear they must have been formidable martial artists in their lifetime.
With even such formidable figures dead, and the streets reduced to near ruins,
everyone couldn’t imagine the kind of battle that had taken place there.
“Wait a moment.”
Seeing the black-robed figure again, Lu Qing suddenly remembered something. He asked Ma Gu to stop the carriage, then leaped a few times to a house. After searching for a while, he finally found what he was looking for.
It was the black-robed figure’s black staff that had been knocked out of his hand by Lu Qing.
“Let’s go,”
he said calmly, carrying the staff back to the carriage and placing it on it.
The others couldn’t ask any questions, so they just followed him.
Not long after, they finally arrived in front of the restaurant.
The sword-wielding man heard the carriage’s movement and stepped out.
“This is Senior Yan, the Grand Elder of the Silver Moon Sect,” Lu Qing said.
“Greetings, Senior Yan,”
Ma Gu and the others saluted.
The chubby middle-aged master and his disciples were especially shocked.
They were all from Yunzhou, so they were naturally well-informed about the major forces there.
The Grand Elder of the Silver Moon Sect, one of the three major sects, must be a powerhouse of the Innate Realm.
“Since he’s a friend of the young master, there’s no need for formalities,” the sword-wielding man said hastily.
If it were anyone else, the sword-wielding man might have tried to act like a senior.
But these people were clearly close to Lu Qing, so he didn’t dare put on an act.
The sword-wielding man is now quite in awe of the two mysterious masters, Lu Qing and the old doctor.
Seeing the Silver Moon Sect’s Grand Elder being so polite to Lu Qing, the chubby middle-aged man was somewhat prepared, but Wen Bin and the others were taken aback.
However, no one paid any attention to their emotions at this point.
Lu Qing asked, “Senior Yan, has Master finished treating all the seniors?”
“Almost. When I came out, there were still a few people left whose pulses hadn’t been checked.”
“I’ll go in and take a look.” Lu Qing nodded, then said to Ma Gu, “Master Ma, you two wait outside for a moment.”
There were many corpses in the restaurant, and their deaths were horrific and tragic.
Although Xiaoyan had seen many dead bodies recently, Lu Qing didn’t want her to witness such a tragic scene.
When Lu Qing entered the restaurant, he saw the old doctor checking the pulse of the last person.
“Master, Master Ma and the others are already in,” Lu Qing said softly.
“Hmm,” the old doctor replied, retracting his hand. He addressed a tall, thin warrior before him, saying, “Your symptoms are similar to those of the hero before you. You’re experiencing a loss of both Qi and blood, and a damaged foundation. Fortunately
, your condition isn’t life-threatening. Just rest well and take supplementary nourishment for the next few days.”
“Thank you
, senior!” the tall, thin warrior exclaimed in delight.
He was deeply concerned about the potential damage left within him by the hooked-nosed demon’s evil spell. He
heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that nothing serious was happening.
“Everyone,”
the old doctor said, standing up after examining everyone.
“I’ve examined your pulses. Fortunately, you all possess profound martial arts skills and strong foundations. While your Qi and blood are weakened, they’re not life-threatening.
I’ll prescribe two prescriptions for you to strengthen your body and replenish your vital energy. Simply follow the instructions and take the decoctions promptly upon your return.”
After a month or two of recuperation, everything should be back to normal.”
“Thank you, senior!”
All the Yunzhou warriors bowed to the old doctor and expressed their gratitude.
The old doctor nodded and said to Lu Qing, “Ah Qing, prepare some writing brush and ink for me. I’ll write out two prescriptions.”
“Yes, Master.”
Lu Qing quickly prepared the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. The old doctor quickly wrote out two prescriptions and posted them on the wall.
“These two are prescriptions for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. You can write them down or copy them back and take the medicine according to the prescriptions.”
All the Yunzhou warriors rushed forward and began to remember the prescriptions.
Taking this opportunity, the man with the sword came forward and said, “Senior, the Liuyun Sect has been causing trouble in Yunzhou for a long time. This time, they have even set up an evil formation to harm lives.
Although the Mohu brothers are dead, the Liuyun Sect is still powerful. I wonder how you plan to deal with them? “
This…”
The old doctor hesitated.
He was not very good at this kind of thing, and he really didn’t know what to do.
Moreover, after the death of the two culprits, the old man with the hooked nose and the figure in the black robe, his anger had actually subsided for the most part, and he didn’t want to kill anymore.
He couldn’t help but look at Lu Qing: “A Qing, what do you say we should do?”
Lu Qing thought for a moment, and said seriously: “Master, you have witnessed the deeds and style of the Liuyun Sect on my way here.
Keeping such a brutal sect will only be a disaster for the people of the entire Yunzhou.
We can’t save the people, but it’s okay to get rid of a cancer and let the people of Yunzhou suffer less.
I know that Master, you are kind-hearted and don’t want to commit murder, so let me go and get rid of the Liuyun Sect. “
The old doctor was silent for a while.
He thought of the various things that Liuyun Sect had done when he came here.
Finally, he nodded and said, “You are right. The Liuyun Sect should not be left alive.
But you said that you don’t want to commit murder. Ah Qing, you are making fun of your master. I, an old man, am not so weak.
I still understand the principle that eliminating one evil is equivalent to saving ten virtues. Let me go up the mountain with you.”
“Senior, are you willing to eliminate Liuyun Sect? “
The man with the sword was overjoyed when he heard that.
Even if the old doctor spared the Liuyun Sect, he would not let the Liuyun Sect go.
After returning, he would definitely mobilize manpower to completely destroy it.
But ever since he saw the strange methods of the Mohu brothers, he was still very wary of the Liuyun Sect.
Even in a small town at the foot of the mountain, the Mohu brothers could set up such an evil formation.
Who knows what backup plans the two guys have arranged on the base camp inside the mountain gate.
If there is any more terrifying formation, he may not be able to do anything to the other party .
But if the old doctor and Lu Qing help, it will be different.
This master and disciple pair is mysterious and powerful.
Needless to say, the old doctor, the sword-wielding man still feels a lingering fear when he thinks of that terrifying sword energy.
Lu Qing is even more like a fog. Not only is his strength unpredictable, but he also seems to have a deep understanding of formations.
With the help of the two of them, destroying the Liuyun Sect will be a sure thing.
“Senior, there is no time to lose. I’m afraid we have to act earlier.
Mo Zhen, the leader of the Liuyun Sect, had previously escaped from the town and is likely to have fled back to the mountains.
This man has considerable cultivation and is only a hair’s breadth away from entering the Xiantian realm.
If he were to escape with the elite of the Liuyun Sect, even if we destroyed the sect’s mountain gate, it would be of no avail.
They could simply hide somewhere else, and when they make a comeback in the future, they would still be able to wreak havoc. “We must eradicate all evil
, so I think we need to act quickly,”
said the sword-wielding man sternly.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor knew that there was no time to lose.
He immediately said, “In that case, let’s set off now.” “
It’s time to act. After the three martial arts masters made their decision, they explained a few words to the others and left Liuyun Town, heading towards the towering Liuyun Mountain not far away. As the saying goes, if
you run too fast, you will die. Liuyun Mountain looks not far from Liuyun Town, but in fact, there is a distance of seven or eight miles between the town and the foot of the mountain.
However, with the speed of the three masters, this distance is naturally no problem, and soon the three of them arrived in front of the mountain gate of Liuyun Sect.
“Sure enough, there is also a formation arranged in this Liuyun Sect.”
As soon as he approached the mountain gate of Liuyun Sect, the sword-wielding man showed a solemn expression.
A faint gray light emerged in Liuyun Sect, and evil spirits filled the air.
A light curtain shrouded it, and its appearance was exactly the same as the light curtain of the formation in front of Liuyun Town.
“It doesn’t matter. This formation is not presided over by a master of the innate realm, so its power is greatly reduced. Watch me break it. “
After Lu Qing sensed it, he immediately discovered that the light curtain of this Flesh and Blood Soul Refining Array was far less powerful than the one in Liuyun Town.
“Thank you, young master.”
Lu Qing grabbed a handful of long arrows from the quiver behind him and began to shoot them one by one.
Sure enough, without the guidance of a master of the Innate Realm, the light curtain of the array could not block his arrows at all.
Accompanied by faint explosions, the gray light curtain in front of the three people soon began to shake and slowly disappeared.
“Young master’s archery skills are truly amazing. It can be said that I have never seen such a thing in my life.”
Even though it was the second time he saw Lu Qing’s way of breaking the array, the sword-wielding man still couldn’t help but marvel at it.
“It’s just a trifle. Senior Yan, you’re too kind,” Lu Qing chuckled.
As the gray light curtain completely vanished, a thick, bloody odor suddenly wafted through the air. Simultaneously, they sensed a powerful, sinister aura, causing all three of them to change expression.
“What happened?”
The three glanced at each other and immediately headed for the towering gate of the Liuyun Sect.
Upon reaching the summit and looking down, they were stunned.
Beyond the towering gate lay a vast, expansive training ground. But now, the entire ground was littered with corpses clad in Liuyun Sect attire. There were probably hundreds of them at a glance.
Most importantly, the corpses still held weapons in their hands, their bodies covered in wounds, and their faces etched with madness, as if they had been killed in a bloodbath.
But why would Liuyun Sect disciples kill each other?
“Master, Senior Yan, look,”
Lu Qing said, pointing ahead as the sword-wielding man paused in confusion.
Following his finger, the sword-wielding man and the old doctor looked forward, their expressions changing slightly.
In the center of the training ground, they saw a blood cocoon, more than a meter tall.
Blood was constantly being pumped from the ground, pouring into the cocoon.
The powerful, evil aura they sensed emanated from the cocoon.
“What is that?”
the sword-wielding man exclaimed, having never seen such a bizarre scene before.
