All sects work

Chapter 249: Destroying the Heaven (21)

The tall gatehouse in front collapsed, and the bricks and stones of the wall were blackened by smoke.

Jiang Chuixing looked up and could vaguely make out half of the character "Liu" on the plaque on the door. After making sure that he was in the right place, he jumped over the broken courtyard wall.

The prosperous Qu City had now become a dead city, with only the sound of the howling wind everywhere. Jiang Chuixing couldn't help but slow down his movements, circulating the spiritual power in his body, like a piece of light paper falling in the yard, without leaving any trace on the snow.

As soon as he entered the hospital, Jiang Chuixing clearly sensed the presence of a living person.

He quickly climbed onto the roof and saw through the broken tiles that there was indeed a person in the house. Half of the person's face was burned by the fire and was wrinkled and huddled together, but the other half of the face was very young and handsome, and he looked like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.

He leaned against the dark wall, holding the sword, and was dying.

Jiang Chuixing appeared in the room in a flash, put his hand on the other person's brow, and input a trace of spiritual energy.

The young man opened his eyes with difficulty, and in his drowsiness he saw a child of about ten years old. He was slightly surprised: "Who are you?"

His voice was hoarse, and his throat seemed to be blocked by sand, and he had to exert great effort to squeeze out each word.

"My name is Jiang San, and I'm here to find Prime Minister Liu!" Jiang Chuixing tilted his head and looked at the crack on the wall behind the man. "Who are you?"

He felt that there was a space at the back and guessed that this was most likely the entrance to a secret room, but the movement of tilting his head showed a bit of innocence in the eyes of the person opposite him, which could easily make people mistakenly think that this was a simple monk who had secluded himself from the world to practice.

"What do you want to see my master for?" After the young man completely absorbed that strand of spiritual energy, he felt a little stronger and his speech became much smoother.

"Someone asked me to pass on a letter. It's extremely urgent and must be delivered to Prime Minister Liu as soon as possible." Jiang Chuixing answered according to Master Xuanying's instructions in advance, "It's about the Heaven-Destroying Technique."

The young man opened his eyes slightly and asked anxiously: "Who is it? Who asked you to deliver the message?!"

Jiang Chuixing pretended to hesitate until the young man showed a hint of anxiety, then he said, "It's Master Xuanshou."

The young man was simple-minded. He only knew that Liu Shuji and Qu Shan, the leader of Qu Guoxuan, were in close contact in private, but he didn't know that the two used each other. He immediately believed Jiang Chuixing's words and said, "Wait a minute. I will send a message to Master right away."

He took out a token and used his sect's secret technique to communicate without any hesitation. Then, seeing Jiang Chuixing turned his back to him, he became even more wary.

After delivering the message, he followed Jiang Chuixing's gaze and looked outside. He found that snowflakes were flying outside again. A smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly wanted to confide in others: "Master picked me up and raised me in the heavy snow."

Jiang Chuixing turned around and looked at the young man who was barely breathing.

"I'm going to die in the snow again," he said.

Jiang Chuixing comforted him, "That's good. This snow will last for you from beginning to end."

It was the first time that the boy had heard such a unique kind of comfort, and for some reason, tears welled up in his good eye.

Liu Shuji picked him up because he had good aptitude. Unfortunately, the boy had good aptitude but a dull mind. To put it nicely, he was simple-minded, but to put it bluntly, he was stubborn. In the Dharma Ending Age, spiritual energy was scarce. Liu Shuji needed help from a smart person. The benefits of training a young apprentice who was just a "money-eating beast" were too low, so he rarely paid attention to him. A neglected, simple-minded child suffered a lot in the sect where each master had his own calculations, and almost lost his life several times.

The boy didn't hate it, he just felt a little lost.

The fire engulfed the entire city. He was afraid that the disaster would interrupt his master's practice, so he stayed here the whole time.

This snow was always there for him, and he was just like snow to his master. …

Under the cover of heavy snow, the shadows of famine and epidemics spread mercilessly, and order collapsed.

Before winter, grave mounds kept appearing in the wilderness. After winter, the grave mounds seemed to stop growing, and stiff, shriveled corpses began to appear everywhere. They fell in the snow like dead branches broken by the north wind.

Instead of the epidemic being stopped by the cold, it seemed to be carried rapidly to farther places by the wind and snow. In a short period of time, the territories of Qu and Dachen were almost completely destroyed, and even Xu suffered heavy losses.

It is like a huge net, covering livestock, plants and humans, and few can survive.

The outside world is a hell on earth, but the new country seems to live in a safe and secure world.

There are still five days until the Chinese New Year, and the people of Singapore are busy preparing for the New Year. Although supplies are scarcer than before, with the comparison of the outside world, they cherish the present more than before, and this year's New Year seems particularly lively.

"I heard that Prime Minister Chen's family has been brought back. Would you like to accompany me to take a look?" Shi Xuanying asked.

Xiao Hongfan had just finished commanding a major battle and was about to take a break, but upon hearing this, he simply agreed: "Okay."

Master Xuanying ordered someone to bring two horses.

The two men rode on their horses, one in front and one behind, towards Mangzhou City, which was more than ten miles away.

"I didn't give out the real antidote, but instead took advantage of the epidemic to make a profit. Do you think I'm cruel?" Shi Xuanying asked.

The epidemic in the rear areas of Qu State and Da Chen State was raging and they were unable to take care of themselves. They knew that Xu State once had a "magic medicine well" and that drinking the water from that well would cure all diseases. The army of Xu State relied on this well to avoid being infected with the epidemic. So the two countries put crazy pressure on Xu State, saying that the "magic medicine well" was the antidote given by God to the people of the world and that it should not be taken alone.

The epidemic had already appeared in the territory of Xu State, and the well water was tried immediately, but the result was naturally unsatisfactory. The water could only delay the disease, and it was not a magic medicine that could cure all diseases! Moreover, although the water in the well had not yet dried up, its medicinal properties were obviously weaker than before, and perhaps it would become completely ordinary well water in a while.

However, the two countries, which were almost driven crazy by the plague, clung to this life-saving straw and were unwilling to believe it!

Under Yan Cui's lobbying and instigation, Qu, Da Chen and Xin quickly formed an alliance to attack Xu. In just a few days, they captured seven cities.

The large-scale population movement accelerated the spread of the disease. In this war, New China was the only beneficiary.

Xiao Hongfan: "My Lord, why do you say that? The medicine for curing the epidemic is made by extracting the pure energy from the Taoist priest and Jiang San's body. The quantity is limited and it can't save everyone in the world."

"Actually, they can be saved." Shi Xuanying said calmly, "Cultivators have more pure energy in their bodies than ordinary people, so they can all be used. But once the pure energy is extracted, it will damage the innate vitality, causing damage to the bones and a drop in cultivation. Some cultivators may become no different from ordinary people."

Shi Xuanying looked over and said, "You know what this means, right?"

This means that as long as the cultivators in the world are willing to draw pure energy, they can save the world! Everyone can live!
After Xiao Hongfan was shocked, she calmed down again. Ever since she had the prophetic dream, she has been extremely pessimistic about human nature: "They can't possibly be willing."

"It doesn't necessarily require their willingness." Shi Xuanying said meaningfully, "I once said that within the two counties, I am the sky, but now it's more than just the two counties."

Xiao Hongfan hesitated and asked, "You mean, just capture the person and extract the pure energy?"

Once this is done, it will certainly offend the entire group of cultivators. What if all the grand masters and high-level cultivators join forces to resist? Who can resist?

"With my strength, I may be able to turn the tide." Shi Xuanying looked at her with a smile, "General Xiao is a martial artist, which side will he stand on?"
