Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

After Dongfang Yuanhua and the fake alchemy idiot Bai Chao left Half Moon City, they colluded with each other to obtain spirit stones and came to Xinyang City, a small marginal city under the jurisdiction of Yichang Prefecture.

Xinyang City is located in the northeast of Yichang Prefecture, bordering Xiling City. The total population of monks is not large, equivalent to the population of a small county.

However, the entire Xinyang city has been shrouded in a gloom in the past few days. The streets are no longer as prosperous as before. Basically, every household stays indoors, or has left the house early.

The entire city's defense formation was fully activated, and the four city gates were heavily guarded. All cultivators were not allowed to enter or leave, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

Wu Hongen, the mayor of Xinyang City, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, there were cultivators flying in on swords from time to time, and there were also cultivators flying away on swords. Everyone had a very solemn expression.

"Your Highness, City Lord, Master Zhao Dan he...he..." A middle-aged cultivator in brown tights hesitated and did not dare to speak.

Seeing this, City Lord Wu Hongen's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still asked with a trying attitude:

"What did Master Zhao Dan say? Is he willing to come to Xinyang City? It's okay, just tell me!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged monk said in a helpless tone:

"Hey... Reporting to the City Lord, when Master Zhao Dan heard that there was a commotion in Xinyang City, he immediately refused. But to keep it secret, I have killed him.

"City Lord! Why don't we abandon the city? What if... what if this damn evil spreads to the City Lord's Mansion? What shall we do then?"

As a subordinate, he actually asked the city lord to abandon the city and flee. If it were under normal circumstances, Wu Hongen would probably slap him to death with one palm.

But Wu Hongen sighed lightly upon hearing this, and said helplessly:

"Hey... don't mention this matter anymore. Let's wait a few days and see if there is any good news from Dancheng. If even Dancheng can't do anything, or is unwilling to help,

I will quietly send you out of the city. After all, you have followed me for many years, how can I bear to watch you die in vain? As for me, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

"You can't do that, Lord! If you want to leave, let's leave together. I am willing to follow you and live and die with Xinyang City."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged monk immediately knelt on one knee, bowed his hands and expressed his determination in a righteous and solemn manner.

"I have made up my mind about this matter. Let's leave it at that for now. You can also try to go further away and find some alchemists.

Even if you have to cheat, you should get a few alchemists back. After all, prevention work still needs alchemists to control it." Wu Hongen said with a firm look.

"Uh..." The middle-aged monk knew that it was useless to say more after hearing this, so he bowed again and respectfully left, then quickly flew towards the city gate on his sword.

As the city lord's confidant, he holds a special identity jade token and can leave Xinyang City through a hidden special passage.

City Lord Wu Hongen looked tired when he saw his subordinates leaving. In the past few days, due to the sudden "severe" incident in Xinyang City,

Even though he had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage, he still felt physically and mentally exhausted.

The so-called "Yao Li" is, to put it simply, a kind of infectious disease in the world of cultivation that is feared by everyone.

It can not only be transmitted through the air and contact, but can also lurk in the spiritual energy, and the speed of transmission is extremely fast.

Once a monk is infected with "Yao Li", a terrible abscess will grow all over his body.

The body will also emit a disgusting corpse-like odor, and the Dantian will quickly wither. Generally, the infected person will not survive more than fifteen days, and will die with festering all over the body and bleeding from all seven orifices.

What's even more terrible is that "Yao Li" has little to do with the realm of the cultivator. No matter whether you are a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage or a big man in the Spiritual Transformation Stage,

Once infected with "Yao Li", the whole body will eventually fester, the Dantian will wither, and the seven orifices will bleed and die.

However, if your cultivation is more advanced, the time from infection to death may be slightly longer.

According to the historical jade slips from ancient times, there was once a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage who was infected with "Yao Li". He could only hold out for a month at most and eventually died.

Therefore, "Yao Li" is a word that almost makes people turn pale when talking about it in the world of cultivation.

If a place is found to have a large number of "Yao Li" infected people, then that place will basically face the end of a massacre.

Then he used a formation to seal the place and disappeared from the world.

So, when the mayor of Xinyang City received the news that a monk was found to have a suspected case of "Yao Li".

Wu Hongen was immediately scared to death and sent someone to capture the monk for a thorough examination. After learning that the diagnosis was confirmed, Wu Hongen felt like the sky was falling.

He immediately ordered the killing of the infected person and the alchemist in charge of the inspection to prevent future trouble.

However, within a few days, seven or eight more people infected with "Yao Li" were found in Xinyang City, and the city lord Wu Hongen realized the seriousness of the matter.

He immediately issued an order to blockade the city in the name of an exercise, activated the city defense formation, and announced that all monks were not allowed to enter or leave, otherwise they would be killed.

At first, people didn't pay much attention to this matter. However, on the third day of the blockade of the city, hundreds of "Yao Li" infected people appeared in the entire Xinyang City almost overnight.

And the number of infected monks was increasing exponentially, and people finally realized that "Yao Li" had broken out in Xinyang City.

The outbreak of "Yao Li" immediately plunged the monks in the city into endless fear, and they all wanted to escape from Xinyang City as soon as possible.

However, with a large city defense formation above and the city lord's mansion strictly guarding below, the entire city is like a huge cage and no one can get out.

As the number of infected monks continued to increase, a large number of monks in Xinyang City immediately rioted, burning, killing and looting were seen everywhere. Fortunately, there were no high-level monks in such a small marginal town.

With the strength of the City Lord's Mansion, the riot can basically be nipped in the bud, and the method of suppression is also very simple, just kill them all.

However, as more and more cultivators were infected with "Yao Li", and many of the infected came from powerful families and did not actively cause trouble, the City Lord's Mansion could not kill them all.

Therefore, Xinyang City is now divided into two large areas, one is the infected area, which is full of people infected with "Yao Li", and the other is the safe area.

They also arranged the corresponding formation to isolate the infected area, and at the same time called on the monks who were not infected to form volunteers to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion to strictly guard the infected area and maintain the operation of the formation in the infected area.

At the same time, the infected people were announced and the City Lord’s Mansion had contacted Dancheng, and there would be a corresponding solution to save everyone soon.

Many of the infected people already had weak Dantians, unable to use their true energy and were in a state of waiting to die, so they just let it go and left everything to fate.

Now, the lives and property of more than 300,000 people in Xinyang City all depend on Dancheng.

If Dancheng fails to conquer "Yao Li" and refine the corresponding antidote, who knows whether there will be "Yao Li" infected people lurking in the safe zone.

This is also the reason why Wu Hongen did not dare to let those monks who were not infected out of the city.

If any accident happens in the safe zone again, the more than 300,000 monks in Xinyang City will be massacred and disappear in the long river of history.

However, the sudden closure of Xinyang City immediately aroused suspicion from countless monks passing by or wanting to enter Xinyang City.

Some speculated that something major might have happened in Xinyang City, which required a temporary closure of the city.

Some speculated that a mutiny might have occurred in Xinyang City, and a large-scale fight was taking place in the city.

But no one has ever guessed about "Yao Li", because "Yao Li" has not appeared for a long, long time since ancient times.

Until the nearby Xiling City, Tongling City, and Jiujiang City were also suddenly sealed off, and rumors spread that "Yao Li" might have appeared in these three cities.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among several neighboring states.
