The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

The strong smell of burning in the air testifies to the raging fire that once burned here.

The trees and houses that were originally withered have now turned to ashes. As a result, the Gu worms that were hiding in them were burned to death before they could escape. The previously obscured view has now become clear.

This violent method is very destructive, but its most direct benefit is that it kills a large number of Gu worms quickly, greatly reducing the danger and travel time.

Therefore, Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou and their group quickly arrived at the location where the insect plague had first broken out.

It was a small river, about a meter wide. I don't know what it originally looked like, but now it was a bright red color, like a river of blood.

At the same time, the river also emitted a pungent, fishy stench.

The river, however, seemed to have stopped flowing, becoming stagnant, frozen in place, without a sound of flowing water, quietly brewing ugliness and evil.

The color of the river water, combined with the pungent stench, was truly nauseating.

Even with a specially made scented mask on, Luo Qianmo felt he could barely stand the disgusting little river.

Fang Qingyou and Yuefei dismounted together, took some water from the stream, and began to study it on the spot.

She felt that the crimes committed in the river might be more serious than she had imagined.

This river, once filled with the corpses of humans and various animals, has now been reduced to a pool of sewage.

A poison was spreading in the river, very similar to the Gu poison in the Gu worms she had encountered these days, but its effects were more domineering and intense.

Fang Qingyou had never encountered such a sinister poison before; it felt as if it came from hell.

Touching it will cause one to suffer unbearable pain, as if falling into hell.

This poison could be so potent as to be called a hellish poison.

Fang Qingyou was unaware that she had unintentionally revealed the name of the poison, which was indeed called the Purgatory Poison.

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but look towards the upper reaches of the river. The strange poison in this river might be the root cause of the insect plague in the south.

The blood-red color upstream is even more intense; perhaps the poison is flowing down from upstream?

Fang Qingyou told Yuefei about her discovery, and Yuefei then reported it to Luo Qianmo word by word.

Don't ask Fang Qingyou why she doesn't just tell Luo Qianmo; she doesn't even dare to look at him now.

She was so ashamed that she didn't dare to see anyone.

Luo Qianmo's decision was to go upstream and find the source of this infernal poison.

The group had been walking for a short while when they reached the foot of a mountain.

Upon seeing the mountain, Xuan Zhu, Xuan Lan, and the others all changed their expressions.

Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but wonder, so this is actually Hengnan Mountain?

In fact, Hengnan Mountain was Luo Qianmo's ultimate goal for this trip. Unexpectedly, while they were investigating the truth behind the insect outbreak, they ended up at Hengnan Mountain.

I wonder if this is a coincidence or a premeditated plan?

Luo Qianmo's order remained the same: continue searching upstream.

After confirming that this was Hengnan Mountain, Fang Qingyou couldn't help but feel excited. They should be able to find Lanwu Yuzhi soon, right?

She still held great hope for this. If she could find a miraculous medicine like the Seven-Star Purple Ginseng, then she should be able to find a rare medicine like the Orchid Mist Jade Mushroom, right?

She desperately wanted to find Lanwu Yuzhi immediately so that she could cure Luo Qianmo and alleviate her guilt towards him.

Perhaps, by then, she would have been able to harden her heart towards him and wouldn't have put herself in such a passive situation as she is now.

Luo Qianmo and his group continued downstream. What struck them as odd was that although Jingzhi County was adjacent to Hengnan Mountain, the sky over Jingzhi County was a strange, blood-red color, while the sky over Hengnan Mountain was a normal blue.

Perhaps because the trees here are still lush and verdant, unaffected by the insect infestation, the sky is exceptionally blue—a deep, pure, and clear azure.

It's just a step away, but once you enter Hengnan Mountain, it's like entering another world.

Luo Qianmo's long, narrow eyebrows were slightly raised, and his dark eyes made it impossible to discern his inner emotions.

Fang Qingyou's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she glanced around at the scenery, lost in thought.

Jingzhi County was already strange, but now that they have entered Hengnan Mountain, it feels even stranger. They wonder what secrets are hidden there, and whether they can find Lanwu Yuzhi.

Hengnan Mountain is very quiet, a kind of serene stillness.

Unlike other mountains where birds sing, insects and butterflies flit about, and animals roam freely, Hengnan Mountain is silent except for the rustling of leaves in the wind and the sounds of people walking.

Forget about birds and beasts; Hengnan Mountain seems to have only flowers, grass, and trees, and you can't even see an ant.

This situation made Fang Qingyou feel increasingly uneasy.

Like Fang Qingyou, the others noticed this strange anomaly and became extremely alert.

As Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou, and their group entered Hengnan Mountain, two other groups of people entered one after the other.

One group of people was a group of men in black wearing fang masks. These people seemed to constantly emanate a chilling aura, making them feel extremely sinister.

The other group was the armored guards.

After these two groups followed Luo Qianmo and his party into Hengnan Mountain, a group of martial arts practitioners entered from the other side.

As dusk fell, Luo Qianmo and his group arrived at a place where thick white fog had accumulated.

Judging from this location, it seems we're not even halfway up the mountain.

The white fog was so thick it was almost tangible, seemingly circling around Hengnan Mountain, making it impossible to see its end.

The white mist looked harmless, yet it caused Xuan Zhu and Fang Qingyou's expressions to change slightly.

Because they could all see that this white mist was not ordinary white mist, but poisonous miasma containing extremely potent miasma toxins.

Miasma is troublesome enough, but in such a strange place as Hengnan Mountain, it is even more daunting.

Fang Qingyou had some doubts. Given the terrain, environment, and climate of Hengnan Mountain, it shouldn't have formed miasma, let alone such a large area of ​​miasma.

The miasma seemed to appear out of thin air, which made her even more confused.

Xuan Zhu's expression was even more unpleasant than Fang Qingyou's, because he had noticed something that she hadn't.

These miasmas did not exist originally; rather, they were created here by human intervention.

To achieve this, it is probably only possible through illegal formations, and those who can do this are likely no ordinary people.
