Although Mongolia was a country established by a nomadic people, a great deal of importance was attached to business since the founding of the Khan Kingdom of Genghis. Therefore, business with Lin as the location of the Hanting of Mongolia was naturally bustling with activity, and merchants from Persia, Turkic, European, and Darchu could be said to be coming in an unending stream, bustling with noise and excitement.

That night, the moon was bright and clear. On the west side of the forest, merchants were happily trading. Suddenly, for some reason, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Thunder and lightning were flashing, but it did not rain.

The people at the market were suddenly struck by thunder. The weather was strange and did not rain, so they were all in a flurry of discussion and panic.

After a while, it still didn't rain. The crowd didn't take the weather back as a matter of fact. They went back to the market and busied themselves.

There were countless bright spots in the dark sky in the distance.

As they got closer and closer, they noticed that they seemed to be fireflies.

Some funny Mongolian kids reach for their claws.

However, just as they were about to grab their hands, these children cried out "Aiya!" and fell to the ground unconscious.

At this time, the fireflies suddenly scattered in all directions as if they had gone mad, and took the initiative to fly towards the crowd. Anyone who touched it would either be lying on the ground or painfully scratching themselves.

Some people were even like madmen, trying to catch the people around them. The scene was extremely terrifying.

And so it continued until dawn, when the fireflies dispersed.

In Lin City, it was already unknown how many people had already been injured because of this.

Such an important matter naturally alarmed Torrigo, Great State Grandmaster Huo Shi, and the rest. Kublai Lie was now Mongolia's head judge, such a matter naturally had to accompany the inspection.

Seeing such a miserable situation, Torak asked, "Kublai, you are my Mongolia's final judge. Now that something like this has happened with Lin, what do you think we should do?"

For a moment, there was nothing he could do. Thus, he bowed towards Di Torrigo and said, "Eldest Concubine, from the looks of these people, they seemed to have been poisoned. The other day, his good friend, the Sect Leader of the Five Immortal Cult, had been invited by the Grand Master to treat poison, so why don't we invite him over to see what happened?"

As soon as Kublai's voice fell, the Great Master Huo Shi said to him, "For such a small matter, there is no need for you to worry about it. After hearing about it, the Imperial Advisor immediately sent someone to request the Sect Leader's help."

After saying that, he pointed with his finger and said, "Look, he's not here."

Walking up to the crowd, the Five Immortal Sects' Sect Leader bowed towards Torrigo and said, "I've made First Concubine wait for a long time."

Torrigo was quite courteous as he politely replied, "Thank you for your help, Sect Leader."

"This is nothing. Our Five Immortal Sect is the number one sect in the world that uses poison. We can't cure it without it. Please rest assured, Grand Concubine." The Five Immortal Sect's Sect Leader said confidently.

The Five Immortal Sects' Sect Leader squatted down and came to the side of a person who was attacked by fireflies. He looked carefully, and noticed that this person's breathing was steady, but he was still in a deep sleep.

After looking for a while, the Five Poisons Sect's Sect Leader also frowned. He was unable to find out the reason behind this. After a few of them fed him the antidote pills, not only did their condition not improve, it even worsened.

Just like this, after a few days, these fireflies would invade Lin City every night. As the day went by, Lin City seemed to have become a dead city.

As the grand judge of Mongolia, Kublai was also worried. When he remembered that Xin Ran had cured his father of the strange poison, he asked Xin Jiaxuan for help.

However, Xin Youxuan was unable to treat this strange poison.

In the end, even Ku Bilie didn't need to spend his entire family to get sick from this strange virus. Fortunately, Xin Youxuan might be skilled in internal energy, so he could still take care of them.

Because of this, rumors had been circulating in Lin City that Longevity Day was punishing them.

On this particular day, Xin Xiaoyuan was feeding a bowl of porridge when he suddenly heard a hubbub of voices coming from outside. Xin Xiaoyuan was puzzled. He thought to himself, "Ever since this strange disease started spreading, it has been like a stagnant pool of water in the city. There's no movement at all. Why is it so lively today?"

Xin Youxuan quickly went out to take a look at what was going on outside.

Xin Youxuan walked out of her tent and onto the main street of Hailin. She was surprised to see a lot of people running around with a small bowl in their hands. A person was stopped and asked, "What's the matter? All of you are fine now."

The man replied happily, "Okay, you don't think we can run on the streets?"

"Then who treated you?" Xin Youxuan hurriedly asked.

This person replied, "You still don't know, but a white-clothed fairy came to the entrance of the sweat palace and bestowed immortal water. As long as I mix this immortal water with her, I will become like a normal person. Look, I'm better now, didn't I already carry a bowl for myself?

Upon hearing this passerby's words, Xin Xiaoyuan rushed to the entrance of the sweat palace in a hurry.

The place was already packed with people, but fortunately, the palace guards were there to maintain order. Although there were many people here, the line was not crowded.

Xin Xiaoyuan followed along and waited for nearly five hours before it was her turn.

The Holy Maiden's face was solemn. She did not carry any traces of the fire and smoke of the human world, as if she was in a dream.

Seeing Xin Youxuan staring at the Holy Maiden like this, the servant girl behind the Holy Maiden shouted, "mortals are not to be blasphemed against fairies. Hurry and collect the immortal water to save your family and friends."

Xin Youxuan wanted to save him, but she didn't say anything. She took the bowl of immortal water and rushed back to the palace.

He didn't expect that this immortal water was really as the passerby said. It was incredibly magical, and after drinking it with Kublai and Kublai, it really did heal up fast.

He also quickly replied without any joy, "The Longevity Heaven is protecting us. He'll help us drive them away before we wake up."

But in her heart, she didn't think this way. From the eyes of the white-clothed goddess, he had the feeling that she was absolutely a top expert of the inner sect, and that her skill wasn't inferior to his. In the Martial Forest, to be able to cure the poison that not even the Five Immortal Sect's Sect Leader was able to cure, wasn't this person's ability to use poison and detoxify the poison already an astonishing level of power?

Then, he recalled that the white robed goddess had just given birth to a strange disease that had afflicted the citizens of Forest City because of the fireflies. He felt a sense of unease in his heart, as if an invisible net was closing in on him.
