Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Zhao Bao instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The winter weather was very cold, but Zhao Bao's heart was even colder.

Even the red-hot charcoal brazier beside him couldn't dispel the chill in Zhao Bao's heart.

He knew the palace was cruel, but Li Dafu's words once again refreshed his understanding of cruelty.

Fortunately, he had been careful when he initially planned to offer the secret manual, choosing Li Dafu, the most reputable philanthropist in the Zongwu Manor, to present the treasure to.

Immediately, Zhao Bao hurriedly knelt down:

"Godfather is right to teach me a lesson; it's my blessing to have followed the right godfather!"

"The secret manual in my hands was burned after I memorized it, so only Godfather has a handwritten copy in this world."

"And I guarantee with my life that I will never let a third person see the secret manual of 'Corpse-Dissolving Palm'!"

Li Dafu nodded slightly.

With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind swept through, and the doors and windows of the room opened one after another.

The dim light in the room suddenly became brighter.

Even the charcoal fire in the brazier seemed to burn more vigorously.

"Go down, don't let down my expectations of you."

Li Dafu looked tired, as if he was about to rest.

Zhao Bao respectfully kowtowed and then turned to leave.

As Zhao Bao left, silence returned to the room.

A silence that was eerie.

Suddenly.

Li Dafu giggled.

His voice was already high-pitched, but now his laughter was like a ghost's wail, which could make one's hair stand on end.

A strange smile appeared on Li Dafu's face:

"Zhao Bao, Zhao Bao, if you don't die, how can I be at ease?"

"This 'Corpse-Dissolving Palm' is simply wonderful; it will become my secret killing move."

"To keep this secret from being known, you must die."

It turned out that from the beginning, Li Dafu had no intention of letting Zhao Bao live.

The reason he didn't kill Zhao Bao immediately was because he had other plans:

"I can't personally kill you; otherwise, my reputation as a 'philanthropist' will be ruined. Who will come to offer me treasures in the future? Who will become my adopted son?"

"The sooner you die, the sooner I will be at ease."

After Li Dafu made his decision, he smiled even more happily.

A cold atmosphere raged in the room, and the fire in the charcoal brazier was completely extinguished.

… … … … … …

… … … … … …

Lu Family Manor.

Even though it was already night, there were still thousands of lights near Lu Family Manor.

There were too many people who came to seek medical treatment, so much so that Lu Family Manor couldn't accommodate them all. A large number of patients had to set up tents outside the manor.

Liang Jin sat upright on a high seat.

Not only was his seat located on a high platform, but the terrain of the seat was also the highest here, which allowed him to overlook the surroundings.

Behind him, several yellow long-haired streamers and large banners stood tall, fluttering in the wind.

In front of him was the Lu Family Manor's rice threshing ground.

This place was originally a site for boiling talisman water, but now it had become a martial arts training ground.

Lu Qiannan was leading a group of manor guards, holding spears, and practicing martial arts.

Now, Lu Qiannan and three of the most loyal manor guards had received the [Bone Strengthening Medicine] bestowed by Liang Jin, thus becoming martial artists.

In addition, two ninth-rank martial artists had also joined the Taiping Dao.

Liang Jin appointed these ninth-rank martial artists as libationers, making them middle-level managers.

This led to the gathered Taiping Dao believers having organizational management, thus preventing serious chaos from occurring.

"Report—!"

"Great Virtuous Teacher, Miao Yuanzheng has led his brothers to distribute the talisman water and has returned to report to you."

A manor guard ran in and reported to Liang Jin.

Liang Jin nodded:

"Let Miao Yuanzheng come to see me."

Soon, Miao Yuanzheng strode to Liang Jin and saluted Liang Jin:

"Your subordinate has not failed his mission."

"Great Virtuous Teacher, can you bestow more talisman water? Your subordinate is willing to go again to distribute it to the world."

Miao Yuanzheng's voice was full of urgency.

These days, he led the crowd to distribute talisman water throughout Taiyang County. Although he saved the lives of many people,

He also saw more people who were still tormented by the plague.

He even heard that the plague was also severe in nearby counties.

This made Miao Yuanzheng unable to care about his exhaustion and only wanted to go again to save more people.

Liang Jin only asked:

"Have you seen your child?"

Miao Yuanzheng replied:

"I have seen him. Thanks to the Great Virtuous Teacher's talisman water, my child's illness has been relieved too much. It seems that it won't be long before he recovers."

Speaking of this, a trace of love also appeared on Miao Yuanzheng's face.

Each time he came back and saw his son becoming healthier, joy accumulated in his heart.

Liang Jin beckoned:

"Come to my side."

Miao Yuanzheng was slightly puzzled, but he still came to Liang Jin's side and stood respectfully.

His respect was not a pretense.

But Miao Yuanzheng really admired the young man in front of him.

If not for this man, in this time of rampant plague, he didn't know how many more people would have died.

Liang Jin stretched out his hand and pointed to the surroundings:

"Take a look, what is unusual here tonight?"

Miao Yuanzheng became even more puzzled, but he still fixed his eyes and looked around.

The nearby situation was fully visible.

Countless lights flickered in the darkness, like stars in the sky.

On the distant road, there was also a gathering of lights like a long dragon, all of which were patients rushing here to seek medical treatment.

Those lights were the torches used by the patients for lighting.

It seemed that there was nothing unusual.

But soon, Miao Yuanzheng smelled a different breath:

"Hmm?"

Only to see that the long dragon of fire on the distant road was interrupted, and the rear section gathered together as if encountering obstacles.

And near Lu Family Manor, the fire was also moving to the south, as if it was being guided to move.

This is… someone is blocking the surroundings of Lu Family Manor and is also evacuating the patients of Lu Family Manor.

Could this be the meaning of the Great Virtuous Teacher?

Miao Yuanzheng looked at Liang Jin, but saw Liang Jin shaking his head slightly in denial.

This made Miao Yuanzheng startled.

"There is a traitor!"

To make the Taiping Dao believers obediently evacuate without alarming Liang Jin, only those with a certain prestige in the Taiping Dao could do it.

At this moment, Miao Yuanzheng was immediately full of vigilance.

He turned his head slightly and looked at the dense forest behind Lu Family Manor.

The dense forest was silent.

However, above the dense forest, he could hear the sounds of birds chirping and flapping their wings.

At night, flocks of birds roost.

But now the birds were startled and flew away at night, indicating that something had frightened the birds.

Miao Yuanzheng also squinted his eyes slightly and swept towards the manor.

Only to see that among the patients, some strong men were approaching the rice threshing ground from all directions.

Although they were wearing civilian clothes, their sturdy aura was difficult to conceal.

The visitors were not friendly!

Miao Yuanzheng's hand slightly approached the long knife on his back:

"Great Virtuous Teacher, don't worry."

"Your subordinate, with a single knife, will definitely protect the Great Virtuous Teacher's safety."

These days, Miao Yuanzheng distributed talisman water everywhere and also encountered many people trying to rob this precious talisman water that could save lives.

He had already killed many such villains, and only thought that someone was planning to rob the talisman water now.

Tonight, he didn't mind killing a few more.

With his strength as a seventh-rank martial artist, it was enough to run rampant in Taiyang County.

This was his confidence!

Liang Jin waved his hand:

"Don't worry."

"Let's see who the traitor is first."

Miao Yuanzheng asked:

"Does the Great Virtuous Teacher already have a guess?"

Liang Jin smiled slightly:

"Whoever comes to approach me first next is the traitor."

As the two were talking, they saw a person hurriedly come to the rice threshing ground.
