My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yun's mouth opened slightly, then she remembered her father's instructions, and her eyes became firm.

“If you want to go, then step over my body!” Su Yun said calmly and resolutely.

Su Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, then raised her hand and waved it gently at Su Yun.

Su Yun's body immediately flew to the side and crashed into the pond in the back garden, splashing up a column of water.

"It's been too long since we've sparred. Do you think you're all good again?" Su Yue said indifferently, looking at Su Yun who had popped his head out.

Su Yun stood up straight, speechless. He couldn't win!

Su Yue snorted coldly and walked towards the circular entrance to the courtyard.

Before they could even leave, Su Chengying walked up to them.

Su Yue stopped and looked directly into her father's eyes.

Su Chengying had just returned from the south, as he had been dealing with the territory and resource issues of the Blood Fiend Sect and the Blood Puppet Sect for the past few days.

Su Chengying looked at the calm and indifference in Su Yue's eyes, sighed, and then glanced at Su Yun who had climbed out of the pond.

"You're going to Jiangzhou City, right?" Su Chengying asked expressionlessly.

Su Yue nodded without saying anything, but her eyes remained firm.

“What can you do if you go there? You should know why Qi Yu sent you to Tongyun City. If you go there now, you will only make Qi Yu feel constrained and worried about your safety.”

Su Yue's eyelids drooped slightly, and then she recalled the scene before Qi Yu knocked her unconscious, and her breathing became slightly heavier.

"Let him worry about it, what does it have to do with me? It's not like I'm the one worrying!"

Su Chengying sighed helplessly and said, "You shouldn't be looking for Qi Yu now. What you should do is find the person who released this plague as soon as possible."

This plague came out of nowhere, and it happened right after Qi Yu became famous. The timing was perfect.

Moreover, this plague only targets martial artists; even a pig could tell that it was man-made.

"Qi Yu was very perceptive in realizing that this plague was aimed at him, which is why he sent you back."

Su Chengying said, "Besides, Qi Yu is doing quite well now. Your going there will only distract him."

Su Yue knew she wouldn't be of much help if she went, but it was still better than sitting here, worrying about Qi Yu's safety all day long.

The plague targets martial artists; the higher their cultivation level, the stronger the illness becomes, and even grandmasters may not be able to withstand it.

“Qi Yu is still holding on. I’ve already found some clues. Go to the capital and find your senior uncle. He will tell you what to do!” Su Chengying said.

"You don't need to worry about Qi Yu. The true energy of Qingming True Qi can freeze everything, including the plague. He will not be in danger for the time being."

Su Yue was slightly relieved to hear that Qi Yu would be alright for the time being, but then she frowned. Going to the capital was not difficult; with her Dao Integration level, it would only take her half a day.

But why go to the leader?

Su Chengying looked up at the horizon, sighed helplessly, and said, "Qi Yu has offended too many people without realizing it. Not only does the Demonic Sect want him dead, but there are also people in the righteous path who want him dead."

"Someone is showing off in Taoist territory and killing the Taoist leader's personal disciple. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to Taoism."

"There are some things we can't do openly, but Taoism can. If you really want to help Qi Yu, then go to the capital!"

Chapter 145 The First Floor Assassin

When Qi Yu woke up again, he was already in the clinic.

I worked continuously for four days and three nights, without even having time to eat, constantly running around.

However, the effect was significant; at least the plague did not spread and was contained within the city of Jiangzhou.

"Uncle-Master, you're awake? Aren't you going to rest a little longer?"

Qi Yu had just woken up when a familiar voice came from beside him.

The one who spoke was a Taoist priest, and he was quite handsome.

"What time is it now?" Qi Yu sat up and asked, rubbing his sore eyes.

Qin Xiu replied respectfully, "It's just past Chen Shi (7-9 AM)!"

It's just past Chen Shi (7-9 AM), that means it's eight o'clock!

I actually slept all day!

"How's the situation? Is it under control?" Qi Yu asked.

"As instructed by my master, we have isolated all the infected people in the east of the city," Qin Xiu said.

Qi Yu nodded and said, "Okay, make sure to do a good job of isolation. All doctors and soldiers entering the east of the city must take protective measures. Remember to spread lime for protection every day!"

Qin Xiu nodded, then looked up, but seeing Qi Yu's tired expression, he hesitated to speak.

Qi Yu noticed Qin Xiu's reaction and asked, "What's wrong? Please speak freely!"

"Uncle-Master, starting this morning, people have begun to die in the city and surrounding villages!" Qin Xiu said in a low voice.

Qi Yu suddenly turned his head, his brows furrowed so deeply they were almost pressed together.

Although there have been many infections these past few days, not a single person has died!

The fact that deaths are now occurring means the incubation period of the plague is over, and what follows is truly hell.

Qi Yu hurriedly got up, dressed, and then headed towards the morgue of the government office.

In the morgue, Qi Yu saw corpses covered with white sheets.

Qi Yu squatted down, lifted a corner of the white cloth, and frowned as he looked at the lifeless corpse in the corner.

This was a burly man with dark skin, broad shoulders, and a thick waist; he was clearly a martial artist.

Logically speaking, martial arts practitioners should have strong resistance, so why are the martial artists the ones who die first?

"How many of these are martial artists?" Qi Yu asked.

Qin Xiu pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "All of them!"

Um! ! ?

Qi Yu suddenly turned around, and there were martial artists everywhere!

Was my guess right after all?

Qi Yu looked at the white cloth scattered on the ground, his Adam's apple bobbing dryly.

"Uncle-Master, the Sect Leader asked me to tell you that you must leave Jiangzhou City immediately and come with me to the capital!" Qin Xiu said in a low voice.

"Reason!" Qi Yu looked at the white cloth scattered on the ground, his heart heavy.

“Someone wants to get rid of my martial uncle, and they’re already on their way. The sect leader is tied up and might not be able to rescue him in time, so you must come back to the capital with me immediately!” Qin Xiu said.

Qin Xiu has been in Jiangzhou City for two days. He was ordered to pick up Qi Yu and take him to the capital.

"Can this plague be cured?" Qi Yu asked.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Xiu shook his head and said, "There's no way to do it for now!"

Qi Yu stood up, walked out of the government office and onto the main street.

The place was deserted; there wasn't a single pedestrian in sight.

It's been almost five days since I last returned to Jiangting Village. After sending Aunt Li's family to the clinic in the city, I've been working in the government office, helping the prefect and the registrar with their affairs, until today.

With the children on his mind, Qi Yu walked towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city recognized Qi Yu and did not stop him.

Qi Yu arrived at his doorstep and saw a letter stuck in the crack of his door.

I casually took the envelope down, looked at it, and saw that it was unsigned.

After a moment's hesitation, Qi Yu tore open the letter. Inside was only a slip of paper with an address written on it.

Qingxin Lake!

With the entire city under lockdown, naturally no one goes to Qingxin Lake anymore.

But now someone has asked me to meet them at Qingxin Lake, which seems unusual.

Regardless, Qi Yu still decided to go and take a look.

The river in Jiangting Village is a tributary flowing down from Qingxin Lake; you can reach it by following the river.

When Qi Yu arrived at Qingxin Lake, there was nothing there except for the swirling snow.

Qi Yu stood on the shore, opened his paper umbrella, and looked around.

His true energy slowly emanated outwards, and everything within a one-kilometer radius appeared in his mind, completely under his control.

Qi Yu quickly turned his head to his right, where a young man in a black robe, also holding a paper umbrella, walked over.

He was clearly a kilometer away, but in the blink of an eye, he had already appeared fifty feet away.

Qi Yu gripped the paper umbrella tightly, his eyes narrowing as he became wary.

Even he doesn't have that kind of speed!

"Was it a letter you left?" Qi Yu asked.

The young man in black, holding a long sword, slowly approached Qi Yu without answering his question.

After approaching Qi Yu within ten zhang, the young man stopped and slowly drew his longsword.

"Luo Qing, the first-rank assassin of the Earth level, please enlighten me, Venerable Wen Zun!" The young man in black was expressionless and spoke in a calm tone.

Qi Yu frowned. The First Building? The number one assassin organization on the mainland?

"Did you release this plague?" Qi Yu asked.

Luo Xu shook his head and said, "We in the First Building also have rules. We don't kill innocent people outside of our missions!"

"Then you should know who released the plague, right?" Qi Yu asked.

Luo Xu nodded and said, "I understand!"

Qi Yu laughed and put the paper umbrella away.

"Very well, since you've cooperated so well, you can live!"
