Chapter 875 - The Sword That Breaks Through The Sky (17)

Chang Sheng explained to them but no one wanted to listen to him. The situation turned into a mess. Some people even started scolding Chang Sheng.

Ming Shu smiled at them gently. However, her smile seemed cold and indifferent.

Chang Sheng helped to save their loved ones without taking a single cent from them.

However, these people suspected and insulted him just because their loved ones were in danger.

Someone started talking about Ming Shu.

They said that they saw her feeding the child something and after a while, the child recovered.

The child was wearing exquisite clothes so he must be from a rich family. Chang Sheng must have ordered her to cure the child.

Ming Shu admired the storytelling skills of these people.

“It is a pity that you all are not storytellers.” Ming Shu threw the Lianjing sword and it landed on the ground with a thud. It laid there and didn’t move. “I was the one who fed the child something. It has nothing to do with Physician Chang Sheng.”

Once Ming Shu replied to them, the courtyard went silent. After a while, someone questioned her, “Why did you only give him?”

Ming Shu smiled. “I can give it to whoever I want. Why is it any of your business?”

The person said, “If you can save someone, why not?”

Ming Shu brushed her clothes. “Because I am a demonic cultivator.”

“…”

Even though there were just normal people, they knew that a demonic cultivator was not someone good.

They stepped back simultaneously.

Chang Sheng sighed.

She is really not afraid of anything.

“I still have some of the food that I gave the child. However, I need to remind you that this thing can only be eaten by someone who cultivated before. If a normal person drinks it, he or she will be unable to handle its effects. If you all are not afraid of letting them die faster, go ahead and use it.”

Ming Shu flicked her wrist and a few things landed on the floor.

These things were brought back by Little Beastie. Little Beastie didn’t like to eat them, but it would keep them so that it could have something to munch on if there was no food at all.

If you boiled these fruits, they still tasted quite okay.

Ming Shu was not sure which was the fruit that cured the child. She just saw an empty furnace and remembered that she could steal some of Little Beastie’s food because it was not here.

Whatever the case, one of these fruits was useful.

But, to a normal person, it would be too potent for them so they might die from an overdose.

This stupid child had started cultivation so that was why she dared to give him a small mouthful. It was not because she was stingy. Really!

When the crowd heard that their loved ones might die if they ate these things, they fell quiet.

Of course, the main reason was because she was a demonic cultivator.

Some people even carried their loved ones away. They started to look at Chang Sheng strangely too.

It was probably because he was living together with a demonic cultivator.

Chang Sheng didn’t stop them.

In the end, not many people were left in the courtyard. The place got more spacious so Ming Shu took out her chair and sat on it.

“Sister, my father will be grateful to you,” the child said, sitting at the side obediently.

“Oh. Ask him to thank me with food.”

“Okay.” The child nodded seriously.

Chang Sheng was a little surprised. He didn’t notice the cultivation level of the child just now.

“Little boy, where is your father?”

“I don’t know,” the child said. “I lost contact with him. However, my father told me that if I get lost, don’t worry and find someone to follow. As long as I don’t starve to death, I will be fine.”

Chang Sheng: “…”

Ming Shu: “…”

This father is quite amazing!

…

The Wuji Sword Sect was the nearest sect to Cloud City.

After learning that such a huge thing happened, the people from Wuji Sword Sect rushed over the same night.

However, they didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. They didn’t prepare enough Dan medicine. The Wuji Sword Sect was also not well-versed in making Dan medicine.

If a normal human was ailed by a demonic aura, normal Dan medicines would be useless.

Luckily, the disciples from Chiyang Sect were in the city too. The Chiyang Sect was good at making Dan medicine.

Everyone worked together to collect the necessary ingredients for the Dan medicine. The disciples of the Chiyang Sect worked all night to make the Dan medicine.

The rest of the disciples patrolled the city and tried to find the culprit.

However, once the night was over, the number of victims had only increased. The culprit, on the other hand, was not found.

The demonic aura in the city all came from the victims. There was no other source of demonic aura.

This made it difficult for the immortal sects.

If they couldn’t find the culprit, the victims would continue increasing.

Squeak—

Since the Chiyang Sect was distributing Dan medicines, the people in Chang Sheng’s house left. Only the child was left.

Ming Shu and the child both woke up from the noise.

The Lianjing sword went crazy and dashed past her. It flew over the wall and went out.

Squeak—

Shrill sounds came from outside. It sounded like a sharp weapon scraping the surface of a porcelain object.

The child was still young so he was scared.

Ming Shu listened to the sound. It didn’t stop. She got up and walked toward the door of the courtyard.

The door opened, but there was nothing in the alley. The shrill noise had stopped too.

Whizz—

Something flew over to her from the wall opposite. The same moment, she saw the Lianjing sword floating slowly over.

It was blue in color now. It stopped in front of Ming Shu and lifted its sword body slightly.

“Here it is!”

“Uncle Master, that is Sect Leader’s Duan Xu sword. Did Sect Leader come too?”

A group of people ran in from outside the alley. They saw the Lianjing sword.

The people from Chiyang Sect definitely knew what their sect leader’s sword looked like.

But, why was the sect leader’s sword here?

“Devil girl!”

“Why are you here?”

“Are you the one behind the things that happened in the city?”

The disciples from Chiyang Sect shouted at her the moment they saw her.

Ming Shu leaned against the door. “You seem to wish that I did all the bad things in this country? Sure, if that is what you think, I don’t mind playing along with you. Just be angry at me.”

I am a professional blame-taker!

Chiyang Sect: “…” Why was she asking them to be angry at her?

“Miss July, did you see a woman?” The uncle master was leading the disciples so he kept his temper and maintained his composure.

This was not the time to fight with her.

“I didn’t.”

“Uncle Master, I think that it is her.” A disciple hid behind the uncle master and accused Ming Shu.

“Yes yes, it’s me. Come and kill me.”

“…”

If Ming Shu denied it, they could continue scolding her. However, she just admitted it so casually. They didn’t know what to do.

Whizz—

Everyone looked at the wall vigilantly. A few steps away from them, there was a black shadow. It looked like a woman.

She hunched her back and under the moonlight, she was like an old witch.

Drip…

Thick liquid dripped down from the wall.

There was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Replica sword Lian Xu flew toward the black shadow with the speed of light.

The people from Chiyang Sect were chasing her too. They were attacking her as they chased her.

However, the woman was crafty. She injured a few disciples from the Chiyang Sect and prepared to run away.

“Stop her, don’t let her run away!”

The woman ran toward the exit of the alley. Erratic footsteps sounded outside the alley.

Light came nearer and lit up the entire alley.

The leader of the pack was someone from the Wuji Sword Sect.

Ling Lie and Fang Wan were standing in front of the bunch of people.

The woman saw that her escape route was blocked and suddenly turned to look at Ming Shu. She rushed toward her and grabbed her. “Don’t come over. If not, I will kill her.”

Everyone was indifferent.

Kill her then.
