I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?" Qin Yao replied.

Qi Xiao still didn't understand: "Could you please explain in more detail?"

Qin Yao said, "There is a barrier in the Medicine Master Palace that can help a demon's strength increase by leaps and bounds. So, that demon has now brought trouble with him."

Qi Xiao said, "Can't we destroy that barrier?"

"Not for now. Once the barrier breaks, the subterranean fire will engulf the entire Qiantang," Qin Yao said.

If he still has filial piety points, he can completely turn the impossible into possible.

The problem is that he neither has nor can use himself as the focal point to suppress the raging subterranean fire.

Qi Xiao licked his lips and said, "If you cover my escape, perhaps I can do my part in it."

"You can't get out." Qin Yao shook his head.

Qi Xiao retorted defiantly, "Do you know who I am?"

"Are you trying to say that you are the young master of Fumo Manor? And that the famous Master Yuanyi of Qiantang is your master?" Qin Yao asked rhetorically.

Qi Xiao was taken aback: "You actually knew?"

"Isn't it normal to know? It's not a secret."

Qin Yao said, "To get back to the point, let alone you, even your master would only be tortured to death in front of that evil demon. So if I were to cover your escape, I would be the one truly harming you."

Qi Xiao: "..."

"What are you talking about?" Suddenly, Ah Hong pulled Xiao Qing back and asked with great interest.

Qin Yao laughed and said, "It's nothing. I saw some things for sale up ahead. Let's go take a look..."

Before they knew it, evening had arrived. The four of them, laden with their spoils, parted ways at the entrance of the peach grove. Qin Yao and Ah Hong went to the Bai residence, while Xiao Qing led Qi Xiao back to the demon cave.

As they walked side by side, Qi Xiao suddenly said, "Xu Xuan said that Qiantang will soon face a calamity."

Xiao Qing raised her eyebrows slightly: "So?"

"So I hope you can let me return to the Demon Subduing Manor, so that the demon hunters there can make preparations as soon as possible," Qi Xiao said.

Xiaoqing shook her head: "That won't work."

"Many people will be killed!" Qi Xiao said urgently.

"Even if corpses litter the ground, what does it matter to me? I'm not human," Xiaoqing said dismissively.

Qi Xiao: "..."

three days later.

Leng Ning and her two companions sped to West Lake and soon found the Bai residence with the help of passersby.

"This place is really grand."

Looking at the facade that resembled a royal palace, one of my companions exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.

Leng Ning's lips twitched as she suddenly recalled what Xu Xuan had said about her house being quite large...

Knock on the door!

She let out a soft breath and spoke, suppressing her frustration.

Seeing that the young lady was unhappy, the two girls, who were called junior sisters but were no different from maids in reality, shut up and knocked on the door together.

A short while later, Qin Yao opened the door with Ah Hong and looked into Leng Ning's eyes, saying, "Why are you here?"

Leng Ning glanced at Ah Hong standing beside him, and a sudden surge of jealousy rose in her heart: "Is she Bai Yaoyao?"

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "Get to the point."

Leng Ning took a deep breath and said, "Something terrible has happened!"
A plague has broken out in Qiantang. Manager Wu, who supplies medicine to our Yaoshi Palace, unfortunately contracted the plague while trying to treat the villagers, but the villagers want to kill him and his whole family.

For his family's sake, he desperately broke through the encirclement and ran to the Medicine Master's Palace for help, hoping we could rescue his family.

Qin Yao said, "Take me to Manager Wu's house immediately."

“Me too,” Ah Hong said decisively.

Leng Ning didn't want to take her with her, shaking her head and saying, "The plague is more ferocious than a tiger, and the villagers with their murderous intent are more terrifying than ghosts. Even we don't dare to go directly there. We have to come and find Elder Xu to protect us. Therefore, it would be better for Miss Bai to stay in the manor and wait for news."

Ah Hong said, "I'm not afraid."

Leng Ning: "..."

Is this something to be afraid of or not?
"Stop talking, let's go together." Qin Yao suddenly said.

Leng Ning was stunned.

Why does it seem like Xu Xuan doesn't really care about Bai Yaoyao's life?
Not long after.

Leng Ning and the other two led Qin Yao and Ah Hong to a village, where they saw a mother and daughter being repeatedly hit and pushed by a group of villagers with long bamboo poles, who were trying to force them into a blazing pile of firewood.

"Stop!" Ah Hong suddenly shouted.

The villagers, their faces bandaged, looking like both humans and ghosts, turned around at the sound. One of them, a short, fat man with a large head, said:
“I know you may mean well, but this mother and daughter are infected with the plague and must be burned to death as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid no one in the whole village will survive.”

Qin Yao calmly said, "I can cure it."

"This is a plague, not a disease. What can you use to cure it?" Big Head questioned.

"Are you blind?" Leng Ning scolded. "Do you even know who he is? He is the Enforcement Elder of our Medicine Master Palace, the number one divine physician in the world, Xu Xuan. If he says he can cure it, then he definitely can."

The big-headed man shook his head repeatedly: "I've never heard of any Xu Xuan. All I know is that if you get the plague, you should be burned to death immediately! Don't you all agree?"

"Correct."

"Yes."

"It's better for those two to die than to drag all of us down with them."

Driven by their fear of death, the villagers echoed their sentiments.

Even if some of these people had heard of the legendary doctor Xu Xuan, they wouldn't dare risk their own lives and the lives of their entire families to believe the rumors.

Qin Yao shook his head, too lazy to waste words with these people. With a wave of his hand, he put the mother and daughter, who were beaten black and blue and trembling all over, into his sleeve.

"Are you a fairy?"

After witnessing this 'miracle' with his own eyes, a villager suddenly dropped the bamboo pole in his hand and asked excitedly.

"That's right, I am a deity. I came here to rid your village of the plague, but your performance has disappointed me greatly."

So I've decided to take only the mother and daughter with me. As for you people, you'd better watch yourselves. Especially you…”

Qin Yao responded, then suddenly pointed at the man with the big head.

The man with the big head trembled all over when he was pointed at, and stammered, "Me? What happened to me?"

"You also have the plague," Qin Yao said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone distanced themselves from the big head.

"Impossible, you're lying."

Big Head instinctively retorted, but then remembered that the other party might be an immortal, so he quickly knelt down and changed his words, saying, "Immortal, please save me, I know I was wrong."

Qin Yao sneered, turned around and said, "You cut off your own path to survival, who can you blame? Just suffer the consequences."

Having said that, a white cloud suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and he said to his four women, "Let's go back to the palace!"

Medicine Master Palace.

At the entrance to the mountain road, a middle-aged man, covered in filth, with a dark complexion and pale lips, stood in the middle of the road, gazing anxiously into the distance.

Behind him, with a face mask covering her face and keeping a distance of ten paces, Leng Huichun softly comforted him:
"Old Wu, don't worry. No matter what happens, as long as Xu Xuan isn't late, your wife and daughter will definitely be fine."

Shopkeeper Wu said with a wry smile, "Palace Master, I was just afraid that Elder Xu would be a step too late; if they were burned to death, I... I... wouldn't be able to live either!"

"Palace Master, look at the sky!"

Suddenly, a disciple behind Leng Huichun called out urgently.

Leng Huichun and Manager Wu looked up and saw a golden cloud suddenly appear and land steadily in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"Xu Xuan, Leng Ning."

After glancing at the group of people on the cloud, Leng Huichun hurriedly asked, "Have Manager Wu's family members been rescued?"

In an instant, Manager Wu's heart jumped into his throat, and he looked at Qin Yao with a face full of tension and anticipation.

Qin Yao didn't indulge in his mischievous habit of keeping people in suspense at this moment. With a wave of his hand, he transported the mother and daughter out of his sleeve, where they landed right in front of Manager Wu.

“Ayu, Xiaorou.”

Shopkeeper Wu was so moved that tears streamed down his face. He wanted to embrace them all, but then he suddenly realized that he was still suffering from the plague and froze on the spot.

However, the little girl named Xiaorou ignored all of this and rushed into Manager Wu's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, crying out, "Father, they want to burn me and Mother to death. We don't want to jump into the sea of ​​fire, so they beat us."

Seeing the mother and daughter's faces covered in bruises, Manager Wu silently clenched his fists and said hatefully:
“I, Wu Yong, have been a good person all my life, taking care of the villagers and helping the poor. They usually call me Wu the Great Philanthropist. I never expected this, I never expected this.”

Everyone around remained silent.

The human heart is the most fickle thing, and human nature is the most difficult to test.

There are instances where good people are rewarded, but no one can be sure they will be one of them.

"They can't escape."

Seeing Manager Wu's gritted teeth, Qin Yao suddenly spoke.

Manager Wu was taken aback: "What?"

“I saw more than one case of the epidemic among those villagers who were trying to drive your wife and daughters to their deaths,” Qin Yao said. “In other words, without effective treatment, they and their families will die in this disaster.”

Manager Wu let out a long sigh: "Heaven has eyes!"

Qin Yao suddenly raised his right hand, reaching out to grab the family of three in mid-air, forcibly extracting wisps of black energy and storing them in his sleeve:
“I have cured your family of three of the plague, but you should not go down the mountain for the time being, and you should not return to the village.”

Manager Wu nodded heavily: "No, absolutely not, until they are all dead, or until the plague is over."

Leng Huichun asked, "Xu Xuan, do you know where this plague came from?"

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "I don't know. But what I do know is that we must find the source of the plague as soon as possible, otherwise the plague will spread to the whole city at a faster speed."

Leng Ning suddenly shivered and asked, "How do we find the source?"

Qin Yao raised his hand and flung out the wisps of black energy, saying, "Let's get to the source!"

Leng Ning decisively said, "I'll go with you."

"No."

Qin Yao flatly refused: "We don't know what risks we'll encounter on this journey, and I can't guarantee our safety if I take you with me."

Leng Ning turned to Ah Hong and asked, "What about her?"

Qin Yao said, "I will also take her home."

Leng Ning: "..."

That one sentence made it impossible for her to feel jealousy or hatred.

A short while later.

After sending Ah Hong back to the Bai residence, Qin Yao used the collected cluster of plague virus as a catalyst to drive the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to trace its origins, speeding all the way out of the city.

Based on the original drama, it is highly likely that the plague was released by that trio.

The source of this plague is at least 90% a trap, designed to lure him into it.

Yet he was unafraid of this so-called trap, not out of arrogance or overconfidence, but simply because he was certain that the Demon Emperor had not yet recovered his full strength.

A half-crippled demon emperor still wants to kill me?

Do you really think he's just the reincarnation of Zi Xuan?
Before long, night fell.

Qin Yao slowly stepped into a mass grave, where countless desolate graves were overgrown with grass, and a sinister aura constantly echoed across the ground.

"Crack".

As he sensed the plague's aura and arrived in front of a coffin, a seemingly ordinary dead tree branch snapped under his foot. Suddenly, black and red lights flashed across the ground, instantly forming an eight-star array that enveloped him and the coffin.

Qin Yao smiled silently, pushed open the coffin lid with one hand, and saw an old Taoist priest with long hair and black clothes lying inside. His eyes were closed, his lips were bluish, and he seemed to be dead, but his heart was still beating.

next moment.

Three figures slowly descended from the void, landing on the three star points of the formation, forming a triangular encirclement that blocked him in the middle.

Qin Yao raised his hand and put the coffin and the old Taoist priest away together, then turned to look at the three of them:
"It seems I wasn't seeing things in the peach grove that day; the three of you really are here. Introduce yourselves so I can recognize you and avoid not knowing who is who."

Among the three, a young man in a red robe with a dragon-beard hairstyle and a fair yet eerie face smiled slightly and said, "I am the Demon Emperor Zhanhuang, the biological brother of the Heavenly Emperor."

With long black hair, arched eyebrows, and dressed in black, the young man said indifferently, "Taotie."

In another corner, a burly, strong-looking young man with a fierce face harbored a deep-seated hatred in his eyes: "Zi Xuan, do I need to introduce myself?"

“First of all, my name is Xu Xuan, not Zi Xuan; secondly, who are you?” Qin Yao asked.

Enraged, the vicious youth's face surged with black energy. He transformed into a massive black dragon: "Now do you recognize me?"

"do not know."

Qin Yao had not forgotten that he was now a reincarnated person, and he should not have known the other person in the first place.

"Kill him!" Zhan Huang waved his hand and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the three demons exerted their power simultaneously, and countless characters suddenly jumped out of the array diagram, rushing towards Qin Yao one after another.

Qin Yao sat cross-legged in the void, his hands forming a mudra. Countless golden runes appeared out of thin air, rapidly weaving into an orderly chain of laws, forming a circle to protect him in the center.

The dense array of strange characters landed on the chain of laws and suddenly exploded, but they couldn't shake the circular protection in the slightest.

The three peerless demons gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength, gradually starting to overload the formation.

However, the figure in the golden light remained as steadfast as a sacred mountain, even looking at them with a mocking gaze.

"The Heavenly Emperor's brother? That's all?"

Staring intently into Zhan Huang's eyes, Qin Yao deliberately mocked.

Zhan Huang's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as he began casting spells without regard for the consequences, causing the other two demons to lose their rhythm and the array to become disordered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Yao suddenly summoned the Yuan Tu Sword and hurled it fiercely at the black dragon.

"puff!"

In an instant, the Yuan Tu Sword pierced through the chest, the black dragon let out a miserable cry, and the array diagram suddenly collapsed.

Zhan Huang was shocked, but finally regained his senses and appeared in front of the black dragon, taking it into his own domain.

Qin Yao formed a sword incantation with his hand, and with a gentle turn, the Yuan Tu Sword immediately changed direction, heading straight for Zhan Huang's face... (End of this chapter)
