"High Priest, the Second Prince is here. He is waiting outside the hall." Outside, the palace maid's voice penetrated the door.

Zana immediately put on her veil and left the room as soon as she heard the words' Second Marquis'.

"Your highness, please forgive me. Zana did not come out to welcome you." Zana walked up to him and said with a hint of ridicule in her eyes.

Helian Qi elegantly lifted the cup of tea beside him and slowly savored it, as if he was in no hurry to answer her.

Zana saw the reason for his visit so she dismissed all the palace maids. Only two people remained in the hall.

"Your Highness, may I know why you have come today?" Zana asked, at a loss.

"What is it? What do you think This King came for? You've been in the palace for several months and haven't done anything to the king. I'd like to ask you, what do you mean by that? Have you forgotten our agreement? " Helian Qi put down his cup with a face full of anger.

"Prince, please calm your anger. Of course, I haven't forgotten about this Zana. However, you have to give me some time!" Zana stood in front of him, her eyes fixed on him with a strange glint in her eye.

"Time, does This King not give you enough time? It has already been four months since you entered the palace. During this time, you should know what you have done for this duke and don't think that this duke doesn't know what you're thinking! " Helian Qi's face was clearly filled with anger. He stood up and glared at Zha Na fiercely.

"Oh, then why don't you tell me what Zana is thinking?" Zha Na had a look of relief on her face. She was not afraid of Helian Qi at all.

If not for the agreement between the leader and him, as long as Pachaya helped Helian Qi ascend to the throne of Lou Lan, the entire Pachaya tribe would have moved outside the capital to live a good life and enjoy wealth for the rest of their lives!

The Black Wood Family had made a vow to be loyal to Patuya through generations. However, the current Patuya was going to cooperate with Helian Qi and make her listen to Helian Qi's orders. Thus, he could not blame her for turning hostile.

From her every word and action, as well as her attitude towards him now, Helian Qi believed that she had already stopped obeying his words. Thus, Helian Qi had other plans for himself.

He approached her, stood beside her, and bowed his head to her. "You want to destroy the queen," he said.

Zana didn't react to his words. Instead, she told him in a more straightforward manner, "I mean what you said. As long as I think about it, there is nothing I can't do!"

The corner of her mouth twitched. As long as she thought of the blood swallow that the woman ate every day, her heart would be filled with waves of emotions. Eat, eat, eat more, eat more, only then would you grow faster …

When Helian Qi saw her confident and confident appearance, he knew that she must have done something to the queen!

"What did you do?" Helian Qi asked in a cold voice.

"Actually it's nothing, when the time comes, you will know. "But don't be anxious, Your Highness. I will definitely do what Zha Na promised you. I only need half a month, it can't be that Your Highness can't even wait half a month, right?" Zana said, looking at him provocatively.

"Good …" This King will believe you once again for half a month. If you don't do anything after half a month, don't blame This King for turning hostile! " Helian Qi's face revealed a sinister expression. Compared to his usual charming and handsome face, he was completely different.

"Then I'll be waiting for you, Prince!" Zana wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. How could she allow him to bully her?

Half a month, he only gave her half a month's time. If she still hadn't made her move after half a month, then he would definitely get rid of this chess piece, Zana!

As long as she could become the king's new pet and replace that woman's position, he would be able to crush Helian Qi to death with a single move of her fingers!

As time passed, Yuwen Tuo and the others had already arrived at the Everlasting Mountain. The scenery here was completely different from before. The towns and cities at the base of the Everlasting Mountain were like dead cities and dead animals were everywhere.

Yuwen Tuo's army immediately set up camp in an open area five kilometers away from the town. Azure Dragon and White Tiger escorted Dr. Keser to the town to look after the townspeople. Mu Yue and Ghost Valley found out that they had arrived and left to meet them at the barracks.

"General Yuwen, you've finally arrived." Mu Yue's face was haggard. It could be seen that she had been busy recently with the plague.

"Let's hurry on our way, hopefully we won't be late." Yuwen Tuo's army only took five days to arrive at the foot of the Everlasting Mountain from the capital.

"The disease is getting worse now. We haven't been able to find the source of the disease. The Ghost Hollow Seed's medicine can delay and prevent the plague, but until the source is cured, the plague will not stop." Mu Yue shook her head helplessly. She had been searching for the source of the plague these past few days, but still couldn't come up with a clue.

The symptoms of this plague were extremely strange. This was the first time she had seen such a thing at such a young age.

"Usually the source is water source poultry or something like that. Isn't it rare for these to be the source?" Yuwen Tuo looked at Mu Ru Yue's pained face. It seemed that the plague this time was very troublesome to deal with.

He shook his head and answered Yuwen Tuo's question, "What General said makes sense. However, we have thought about water sources and poultry and tested them. Many of the poultry were also burnt by us, but there are still people who are constantly getting infected.

Even Twilight Moon and Ghost Valley couldn't figure out the source of the plague. This made Yuwen Tuo curious as to why it had come about.

After instructing the deputy general to arrange the military matters, Yuwen Tuo followed Mu Yue and Ghost Valley Zi to the place where the plague patient was imprisoned.

Yuwen Tuo followed the two of them to the front of a temple. Were all the patients imprisoned in these temples?

"This temple is full of patients infected with the plague. The reason why they are not allowed to leave is because they are afraid that their illness will spread to others. Secondly, their illness is extremely horrifying, just like the legendary zombies. Their bodies are stiff, and their eyes are red.

"What?" It has such strange symptoms? " This was indeed the first time Yuwen Tuo had heard of this. It was too strange.

"We also once suspected that someone planted a Gu, but the Gu is not contagious and will only target the person who was poisoned. Moreover, in this world, who has the ability to control so many people who planted a Gu at the same time, that person definitely doesn't have one!" Mu Yue added, "Even if it's the Black Wood Family that is adept at using spells to harm people, they still wouldn't be able to do it."

Their methods were to poison the enemy's water, or something they had come in contact with, causing the skin of those they had come in contact with to fester, or the eggs with Gu worms to reproduce within the body of the enemy, causing their internal organs to be devoured and killed.

However, he had never heard of such a symptom in the Black Wood Family before, so he had to be ruled out.

All of these patients were lying on the ground as if they were asleep, because they had all drunk the intoxicating soup concocted by the Ghost valleys, allowing them to be as quiet as they were now. If the illnesses of these hundreds of people were to break out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Walking in, they all saw the same thing. Not only were there adults here, there were also elders, women, and children.

"Ah …" A blood-curdling screech sounded in the private backyard.

"Someone come quickly, there's a patient here with an attack!" After that, someone yelled for help.

Yuwen Tuo and the others rushed towards the temple's backyard. They saw a few yamen guards trying to pull a middle-aged man in simple clothes.

The sick middle-aged man seemed to be tightly holding onto the guard in front of him and not letting go. Because there were too many people, Yuwen Tuo was temporarily unable to see what was going on.

"Hurry up and pull him away!" Mu Yue shouted.

Two or three people held the soldier's hand, and with great difficulty, they separated the guard from him. However, they discovered that the guard's left ear had disappeared without a trace, and looking at the man's mouth which was full of blood, as if he was chewing something, everyone was shocked. Could it be that the one he was chewing was the guard's ear?

The yamen guard, who had fainted from the pain, was covered in blood and was unconscious. Seeing this, Gui Gu Zi immediately went forward to seal his acupoints to prevent him from losing too much blood.

"Everyone be careful, don't let him scratch you." He looked at the guards and soldiers trying to subdue the patient.

His eyes occasionally flashed red light, making him look extremely strange. In addition to the fact that he had just bitten off the guard's ear, he was now covered in blood. He looked just like a monster.

A bloodthirsty man-eating monster!

The eight people used all their strength to control him. The sick man furiously looked at the person who controlled his hands and feet. The red light in his eyes became more and more intense. Suddenly …

"Ah …" With a loud roar, the man flung the eight of them to the ground!

"Be careful …"

Seeing that they were in danger, Yuwen Tuo shouted out loud. The sick man's hands and feet became stiff. He walked towards a guard who was relatively close to him and prepared to attack him.

Those guards had just fallen flat on their faces, and their minds were in turmoil. Before they could even react, the man had already arrived in front of one of them.

The man's eyes revealed a murderous light. He bent down stiffly and prepared to catch the guard who had fallen to the ground.

Yuwen Tuo quickly pulled out his sword from his waist. Without caring about anything else, he swept it towards the man's neck. In the next moment, the man stopped trying to grab onto the guard. His round head also fell to the ground.

When the guard saw such a horrifying scene, he was so scared that his legs went soft. Only with the help of his companions could he barely stand up.

However, the sickly man's body just stood there stiffly. His head landed beside his corpse, and a puddle of blood slowly flowed down from it …

Mu Yue and Ghost Valley looked at each other and didn't say anything more. They let someone carry the corpse out and burn it. Corpses like this couldn't be buried in the earth, lest it caused endless harm!

Yuwen Tuo retracted his sword. He had experienced the benefits of having this disease. If every one of these people had a disease, the consequences would be very serious. Who knew how many people would die?
