Chapter 591 - The fall of Wolf Fang Sect

Chapter 591

(Unedited)

…

A tall tree sways at a strong gust of wind blows. However, its strong roots held it firmly to the ground as it anchored itself deeper. Right at this moment atop its strong branches, a figure donned in a black hooded cloak stood like a spear while its gaze is looking at a certain direction in the distance.

"It would not be too long from now. I have already harvested enough energy to revitalize my body." He thought to himself as a flow of death aura revolves around his body.

Jiangxi Do and the witch decided to strike and spread the dark Qi to many villages within the influence of Yun Ji city. And this action of theirs gave them a chance to cultivate enough dark Qi for the two of them and enhance their powers.

Right now, the corpse-like appearance of Jiangxi Do is already vanishing and his face has already recovered almost half of his previous looks. Right now, he looks like a middle-aged man with a strong physique.

"Hmm… when will that sect made their move?" he muttered to himself while watching the horizon.

In fact, the villages they have spread the dark Qi plague is within the vicinity of the Wolf Fang Bandit sect. He still holds the grudge in his heart and wanted his revenge. Meanwhile, the woman whom he once called his wife also wanted him to spread the dark Qi plague in that area. She told him that he would be able to gather more dark Qi if those people from inside that secluded mountain would be infected.

This is because inside their bodies is the strong energy of this world. If the dark Qi invades their bodies and devours that energy, it would produce more profound dark Qi and could advance their strength by leaps and bounds.

Since he wanted his revenge and this newfound strength, Jiangxi Do agree with the woman.

He didn't know why he follows the woman which saved him and brought him to life. However, from that time on, he knew that she is not his wife anymore. But for some reason, he still wanted to stay beside her and be her right hand, her weapon, her support.

As he noticed something from the ground, the figure of Jiangxi Do suddenly vanished from the treetop.

…

Meanwhile, in the city of Yun Ji, a long line of sick people are already outside of its gate. And the Eastern Gate of the city has already been closed and the soldiers created many sheds for those sick people to stay at. The governor of the city didn't want to chase those people away and decided to help them.

One by one, they let those people enter the city through cages because the soldiers themselves didn't want to touch the plague-infected people.

"How many have we cured so far?" the figure of Doctor Di appears beside another doctor who is operating the healing vat.

"This is the 300th patient doctor. Although we are already using two vats, the number of people is still too much for us…" the doctor replied with a helpless look on his face.

It is said that there are thousands of refugees outside the city right now. And with the help of Doctor Ji at least the number are getting lesser. Some of the people whom he has already cured of the plague are being sent inside for their recovery. However, they are still swamped with work.

"I wonder how the young doctor could cure the plague without using the vat…" one of the assistants muttered on the side.

"Didn't you know… Young Doctor Di told us that Doctor Ji was once in the army. Plus he knew a female martial cultivator… so maybe he could also use martial power. Who knows, right?"

"Well anyway, I respect Doctor Ji for his selfless actions… he is out there helping the patients. Sigh… I wish I have half of his ability."

The assistants began to discuss while working on the patients.

"Are you talking about the young doctor outside the city?" suddenly a patient asked while lying on the bed.

The assistants unconsciously nodded their heads.

"I see… he… he is weird. When he is helping us, he is showing an excited smile on his face. It's like… it's like he is excited to cure our sickness… it's a bit disturbing." The patient muttered.

Upon hearing the patient, the assistants just look at each other and shrugged. They seem to know what the patient means. That is the usual Doctor Ji. When he is interested in something it could be seen on his face. So these words are not new to them as they too have seen it.

…

Two days have passed and the people outside of the city have already lessened.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao is inside his own room while sitting cross-legged on the ground. He has absorbed too much dark Qi that he needed to refine them as soon as possible. Right now, he is really feeling happy as his dantian is slowly being filled with energy.

With the huge number of patients outside the city plus the acc.u.mulated dark Qi in the vats, he has truly gained a huge harvest.

Right now, he needs to focus on refining them into pure Qi. And slowly the spheres inside him are being filled one by one. Although it is not as abundant when he is in the outside world or when he is using beast core or spirit stone, it is still enough to fill the spheres in dantian.

While doing this a thought pops up in his mind.

"Although I don't bear any sentiments to these people, yet I am still grateful to them. However, I still need to leave this place. I already spent more than two weeks in this place. Once I gained half of my energy, I will head to the capital and see if I can gain the information about this place from there." He thought.

He tried to search for more information in the city, but it seems that the city didn't even have libraries. He could not even trust the words from the people in the city as all of what they are saying is speculation. So going to the capital is his only chance. But before that, he needs to illuminate the threat first. That is his way of thanking those people who have helped him so far.

Not long later, he has finished refining a large amount of dark Qi and inside his dantian, there are already around 35 filled spheres. With this Shin Jiao showed a happy expression on his face.

As he walked out he saw the weary soldiers and the distressing atmosphere in the city. He didn't know what happened and why the people are showing such expressions so he stopped a person on the street and asked.

"What is happening?"

Being stopped by someone, the person seemed annoyed, however, he still replied.

"A village was attacked in the mountains. Everyone was killed… but… but that village belongs to the Wolf Fang Bandit Sect... And now, the sect is demanding to handover those plague-infected people. They are saying that it was because of those villagers that the village under them was attacked. They seemed unreasonable and have already killed some soldiers outside of the city."

Upon hearing the man's words, Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback. Why would that sect point their spear to the direction of the city?

With this question in mind, Shin Jiao walked towards the infirmary.

From there he saw many city guards riddled with wounds. When the other doctors saw Shin Jiao's figure entering, they all approached him.

"Doctor Ji, this is bad…" Doctor Di said with a worried expression.

"Those bandits are too strong. If they continue this, the entire city would be implicated."

"They are not bandits; they're a sect, right?"

"Humph… what do you know? Those bastards are former bandits so no matter how they tried to gloss over their principles, they are still a group of bandits through and through."

"So what would happen next?"

"I hope the other two sects would interfere with this. If the city falls, then it would create great chaos. If that happens the empire would make its move."

"Then what about us? Are we just collateral damage?"

The people inside the infirmary began to discuss. And Shin Jiao heard them all, he turns to Doctor Di and showed an awkward smile. It seems that this old man would always look for him these past few weeks when things go awry.

"Well, we can't do anything about this. All we can do is prepare… we are doctors after all." Shin Jiao said with an awkward smile.

Upon hearing his words, Doctor Di also heaves a sigh. Actually, he already knew the answer, but it seems that due to the miracle this young doctor has done and a lot of things that have happened these past few weeks, the old Doctor looks highly of the young man. Not only him but the rest of the people in the infirmary does.

Suddenly…

Boom!!!

A loud explosion was heard and shook the ground which startled a lot of people in the city.

Shin Jiao shifted his gaze to the direction of the eastern city wall. Without a second thought, he immediately runs outside the infirmary.

"They could not be attacking the villagers outside, right?" he muttered to himself as he runs as quickly as he could towards the city wall.

Those people on the way are still dazed and are looking at the direction of the loud explosion. They didn't even notice the shadow passing them.

Upon reaching the top of the wall, Shin Jiao saw a cloud of thick billowing smoke and on the ground, a commotion is happening.

He saw a few city guards scattered and some are lying on the ground. Meanwhile, among them are people wearing animal fur armor with imposing auras. In the middle of this and the cause of that huge explosion stood a tall figure donned in a black hooded cloak.

When Shin Jiao saw that figure, his mouth could not help but twitch a little while he could not help but mutter.

"It's here…"
