Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 419: Chapter 289: Demon Energy

At that time, a strange disease ravaged the Xixia Plain like a storm.

Hong Mingyue and Luo Song rode their respective spiritual artifacts to the Xixia Plain.

Mountains and rivers lay beneath their eyes, and across the vast border of Daxia, two figures dashed through.

The instrument under Hong Mingyue’s feet was still her Jade Flute, and she appeared even more delicate and beautiful against the mist, dressed in light pink, her youthful beauty just beginning to show its unparalleled elegance.

Luo Song was utterly captivated, nearly losing his balance on the Wind Riding Treasure Bottle he was standing on.

Such appearance and talent made Hong Mingyue unique in Three-Life Valley. What made her even more precious was her purity, as she had never been seen closely associating with any male disciples of Three-Life Valley.

It was this trait that fueled Luo Song’s obsession with her.

He was fond of such cold, unattainable beauties. Imagining having her beneath him, to blatantly ravage, there appeared a sleazy gleam in Luo Song’s eyes.

Hong Mingyue’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She did not like the way Luo Song looked at her.

”Senior brother, we’re approaching the Xixia Plain,” said Hong Mingyue, relieved that the Xixia Plain was near. Once they resolved the Ye Family’s Mother and Daughter’s issue and investigated the events of Xixia Plain, she could ignore Luo Song. Her bright eyes suddenly spotted something. ”Senior brother, look ahead quickly!”

The Xixia Plain was vast, and from a high vantage point under clear skies, the view was expansive.

With Hong Mingyue and Luo Song’s capabilities in the Reincarnation Realm, they could clearly see the landscape for about ten miles around.

However, today when they looked down, it was shrouded in black fog. In different areas of the Xixia Plain, patches of varying-sized black mists made the entire plain eerily captivating.

”Junior sister, be careful and take the Exorcism Elixir first.”

Luo Song assumed the posture of a Sect Leader. He and Hong Mingyue each swallowed an Exorcism Elixir and landed on the plain.

As soon as they touched down, a centipede as thick as a thumb burrowed out of the ground, biting towards Hong Mingyue.

With a flick of the Jade Flute in her hand, a trace of Primordial Power slashed through, instantly splitting the centipede in two.

”It’s just an ordinary centipede, how did it grow so big?” Hong Mingyue wondered, reaching out to touch the dead centipede,

But suddenly, the bisected centipede moved, opened its venomous mouth, and bit Hong Mingyue’s hand.

Hong Mingyue was shocked, she raised her hand and smashed it down on the centipede, crushing it into pieces.

However, her index finger swiftly swelled, and a suspicious black line was rapidly advancing through her bloodstream into her body.

”Don’t move recklessly, junior sister, let me do this.” Luo Song quickly grabbed her hand. Seeing this, Hong Mingyue’s face stiffened, and she tried to pull her hand away, but Luo Song held it firmly.

From his spiritual artifact, the Wind Riding Treasure Bottle, a stream of Clear Spring water sprayed out.

The clear water touched Hong Mingyue’s finger, and the black line slowly faded.

However, Luo Song took the opportunity to hold onto Hong Mingyue’s hand until the poison had completely dissolved from her wound, and then reluctantly let go.

”Sect Brother’s spiritual artifact is indeed powerful,” Hong Mingyue felt offended for no reason, and her heart was somewhat displeased.

But she had to admit, sending Luo Song from the Three-Life Valley this time was the perfect decision.

Luo Song’s cultivation might not compare to several of the Guest Elders in Three-Life Valley, but his spiritual treasure, the Earth-level top-grade Wind Riding Treasure Bottle, was said to be capable of removing contamination and purifying all toxins.

With the peculiar disease spreading across Xixia Plain, having Luo Song deal with it couldn’t be more appropriate.

The centipede on the ground was already dead, and at the moment it was squashed, both Hong Mingyue and Luo Song saw a wisp of black energy emerging from its body.

That wisp of black energy quickly merged into the surrounding black fog.

”The strange black fog causing the disease to rampage across the plain is odd. Last time I passed through Xixia Plain, I didn’t encounter such fog.” Now highly skilled, ordinary swords and spears hardly hurt her, but she was wounded by this ordinary centipede.

For someone as proud as her, it was somewhat hard to accept.

”Sect Sister, this black energy is not just ordinary fog; it’s demon energy,” Luo Song, eager to show off, being the son of the Three-Life Valley Master, naturally knew much more than an Inner Sect Disciple like Hong Mingyue.

”Demon energy?” Hong Mingyue was stunned upon hearing this.

”Actually, months ago, father had observed the Three-Life Stone, and received a heavenly sign that a great calamity would come to the mainland. Coincidentally, a Reincarnation Heavenly Tribulation occurred on Xixia Plain during Ancient Times, and an ancient restriction left by the Three Sects and Nine Schools on Xixia Plain was broken due to the tribulation. This black fog is likely released from that broken restriction.”

As the restriction broke, the Three-Life Valley Master was in closed-door cultivation, struggling with insufficient strength.

Therefore, he sent Luo Song and Hong Mingyue together to investigate the site of the restriction.

The Three-Life Valley Master’s intentions were painstaking; he also knew that Luo Song admired Hong Mingyue and wanted to bring them together.

”What exactly is under that restriction? Why would it transform into such a dreadful black fog?” Hong Mingyue had never heard of such a thing as demon energy before.

She only knew about Gang Qi and Evil Qi.

”What lies underneath the restriction, even father didn’t specify. Perhaps, even he isn’t very clear about it. It’s said that although the ancient restriction was set by the Three Sects and Nine Schools together, the actual core area of the restriction was managed by the people from the Three Sects.” Even someone as proud as Luo Song had to soften his tone when mentioning the Three Sects.

The Three-Life Valley might be considered a large sect among the Nine Schools, but it paled in comparison to the Super Major Sect of the Three Sects.

It’s said that people from the Three Sects rarely walk on the mainland, and any disciple who shows up is of the Reincarnation Realm.

By contrast, only Inner Sect Disciples of Three-Life Valley are of the Reincarnation Realm, showing the evident gap.

When Hong Mingyue heard the name of the Three Sects, her eyes suddenly brightened, her thoughts drifting far away.

That man who seemed as fleeting as a wild goose, yet as cold as frost and similar to a Heavenly Immortal... Although it was just a glance...

A rare blush appeared on Hong Mingyue’s face.

”Sect Sister, let’s not talk about this. Let’s enter the village and take a look,” Luo Song didn’t realize that the beauty by his side had already lost interest in him.

The two found a village together.

Just upon entering the village, Luo Song met the village chief.

”Are you alchemists from the Alchemist Mansion?” The villagers, upon seeing two strangers entering the village, surrounded them impatiently, their faces filled with anticipation.
