However, the moment they arrived at the capital Tianqi City, they found that they didn't even have the chance to get close to the imperial palace!

because.

The Zhao royal family set up many checkpoints in Tianqi City.

The first level is to register at the National Hongyi Clinic and treat ten guards with serious illnesses on the street.

If you succeed, you will have the opportunity to enter the second level.

The Zhao royal palace was surrounded by three layers of extremely powerful high-ranking guards.

The second level is to pick out a patient with similar symptoms to the queen from among these guards.

After passing it, it will be the third level of test.

The mysterious imperial teacher set up numerous restrictions around the imperial palace.

Even if a person who has no Taoist skills passes the first two levels, if he rashly enters the restriction, he will be sucked in by this powerful and terrifying restriction and will never be able to come out.

Outside Hongyi Clinic.

The crowd was shoulder to shoulder.

Many talented people gathered from all directions.

Some of them were dressed in strange clothes, and some were holding various magical weapons. Everyone had an expression of confidence or nervousness on their face.

However, at this time, the atmosphere in Hongyi Clinic was extremely tense and depressing.

Ten tall and mighty guards were lying on the hospital beds, their faces covered with shocking sores. Their hideous appearance made people dare not look directly at them.

In order to hide these sores, he had to cover half of his face with a black cloth.

But even so, it still cannot completely conceal its horror.

At this moment, the ten guards were being examined one by one by several sorcerers from the martial arts world.

Some of the sorcerers frowned, some muttered to themselves, and some even touched the sores on the guards' faces, trying to find out the cause and treatment.

In front of this group of people.

There were two eunuchs sitting there with faces as pale as paper and cheeks as pointed as cones.

They watched everything happening in front of them with expressionless faces, holding a notebook in their hands, responsible for recording the conditions of every quack doctor who came to treat them.

If someone could successfully cure the guards' malignant sores, a prominent tick would be made in the book to indicate that they had passed.

On the contrary, if it fails to work, you will only get a ruthless cross, be beaten and thrown out of Hongyi Clinic without mercy. As for life or death, it all depends on your luck.

Only a shrill sound was heard.

It turned out that there were three more unlucky sorcerers who were beaten half to death by the vicious guards because they failed to cure the guards' illness. They were lying on the ground dying.

Judging from the situation, I’m afraid he can’t even save half of his life.

When the people watching around saw this scene, they turned pale with fright. They were so terrified that they couldn't help whispering to each other.

"Oh my, this is so scary! This isn't about curing illnesses or saving lives, it's clearly just about sending yourself to die in vain!"

"Isn't it? I think we should just leave quickly and not join in the fun here, lest we get into trouble!"

"Yes, if you accidentally lose your life, it will not be worth it!" said one of them with fear on his face.

“I also heard that those who had finally passed the first two levels but suddenly disappeared into the restriction were actually all eaten by that terrifying Imperial Master!

I don't know whether this news is true or not, but just thinking about it makes my hair stand on end!" Another person echoed in a trembling voice.

For a moment, those who were originally full of confidence and wanted to give it a try all became timid and began to back off.

The originally bustling scene suddenly became much quieter, and only the braver people stayed where they were, continuing to watch how the situation developed.

"Alas, it's not so easy to get a bounty title. If you don't take some risks and give it a try, how can you possibly succeed?" Someone sighed with emotion.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd.

"My parents, wife, and children are still at home, eagerly hoping that I can achieve success and bring honor to the family! I'm not afraid of death, I want to sign up!"

The person who spoke was a young man. He strode forward with a determined look on his face and went straight to the gate of Hongyi Clinic.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Everyone was whispering to each other, discussing whether his action was reckless and impulsive, or whether he was confident and sure of it.

As soon as the young man entered the room, he stretched out his right index finger, put it into his mouth and bit it hard, then dripped the blood oozing from his fingertip onto a contract that had been prepared long ago, and solemnly signed his name, indicating that he was willing to bear all consequences - this contract was the so-called life and death certificate.

Then, a short eunuch with a sinister face and strangely pale skin slowly walked out from nowhere.

He looked up and down at the young man in front of him with his narrow eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a chilling smile.

Then, without a word, he turned and led the way, leading the young man to a row of beds.

There were ten patients lying on the beds, looking dying and as if they would die at any moment, waiting for him to diagnose and treat them.

however.

Perhaps it was because his skills were not good enough. The young man's forehead was sweating profusely and his body was shaking, but he still couldn't tell what disease the guard in front of him was suffering from.

"Kid, stop trying to show off. Get back quickly!" Someone outside saw the young man's appearance and immediately became angry.

However, the young man's eyes were red, as if he was possessed by a demon, and he still refused to give up.

soon.

There was a dull thud.

The young man was kicked out, with a dent in his chest. His chest was broken and blood was gushing out. It was obvious that he was seriously injured!

hiss~

The onlookers looked terrified and gasped!

"You...you are going too far! I won't take it anymore!"

Inside the hall, a middle-aged man roared angrily and turned to leave, but was stopped by two sinister eunuchs. He was beaten and kicked by the guards who appeared out of nowhere, and finally thrown out. He lay on the ground in a miserable state, his body bruised and swollen, and he was dying.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the others became even more panicked and retreated one after another, not to mention stepping forward to lend a hand.

The delicate and cold eunuch sneered and glanced at everyone, his face full of disdain: "Anyone who dares to go against the royal family will be killed without mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers immediately stopped arguing, no longer daring to step forward, and all stepped back.

Several quacks, covered in blood, lay on the ground in front of the door, their lives or deaths uncertain, but no one came forward.

…………

Huai Yan and the others stood there with cold expressions and murderous intent in their eyes.

The eunuch was shocked to see that these people were handsome, had extraordinary bearings, and were dressed in extremely luxurious clothes. They did not look like ordinary people at all. He was immediately horrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Especially the young man in the middle, his face covered with a white veil, his figure as graceful as jade, dressed in white clothes, standing in the crowd, his clothes fluttering lightly, like an immortal descending to earth.

He was surrounded by four men.

One was wearing a black robe, majestic and cold, with a powerful aura; one was heroic, a young hero, and it was obvious that he had a strong background; one was tall and slender, with a gentle face, but his whole body was extraordinary and powerful, which made people feel scared.

There was also a holy monk in a white robe standing beside the young man. He was wearing a cassock, twirling his rosary beads, with a kind look in his eyes, and a compassionate look as if he was trying to save all living beings.

The crowd gasped and fell silent, looking at the few people.

The eunuch in charge of the clinic quickly put down his work and walked towards Huai Yan and the others.

He nodded and smiled flatteringly.

"Have you, gentlemen, come to register for this imperial election?"

Huai Yan had a cold expression and ignored this person. Instead, he looked at Wu Nian and Bian Cheng beside him.

"Save people first."

The boy's voice was as clear and pleasant as a cold spring.

But when the eunuch heard it, a chill ran down his spine, his scalp numbed, and he shivered involuntarily.
