Chapter 305: Chapter 225: Without Going Through This Ordeal, Thoughts Can’t Reach Clarity

“Xuan’er is actually dead?”

A figure emitting a terrifying aura, holding a broken Jade Token, had a face filled with shock and anger.

The Jade Token in his hand was a treasure he had found while exploring a mysterious cave years ago.

It was an Exotic Treasure, that, once infused with a person’s essence blood, could allow one to grasp the vital breath of that person’s life at any time.

Of such Jade Tokens, he had obtained a total of three that year, and one of which, he had infused with the essence blood of his most beloved great-grandson, Mo Xuan.

However, just moments ago, he discovered that the Jade Token, which had been infused with his great-grandson’s essence blood, had completely broken apart.

...
The shattering of the Jade Token signified that the life force of the owner of the essence blood had utterly vanished.

In other words, his great-grandson, Mo Xuan, was already dead, How could this not fill him with shock and rage?

“Grandfather, what has happened to make you so angry?”

At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in dark garment swept in from the outside and asked anxiously.

“Xuan’er is dead!” the figure replied with a somber voice.

“What? Xuan’er is dead?!!” the man in dark garment gasped in disbelief, “Impossible, with Elder Qiu protecting him, who could kill him?”

He didn’t doubt his grandfather’s words, because he knew that his grandfather possessed an Exotic Treasure that could determine Xuan’er’s situation from thousands of miles away.

But he also felt it was unbelievable. After all, Elder Qiu was a martial artist who had achieved Great Success with his Inner Organs, and was only a step away from the Grandmaster Realm of Inner Organs Perfection.

Under his protection, who could harm Xuan’er?

“You’re asking me? I want to ask you!” the figure’s aura suddenly erupted, oppressing the man in dark garment until he gasped for breath, “I’ve only been in closed-door cultivation for a few days, and Xuan’er has run out of Yunzhou. You, as his father, don’t even know?”

“Grandfather, I’ve been handling sect affairs recently. I only knew that Xuan’er took a group of disciples, saying that he was going to teach someone who offended him a lesson. I didn’t know he had chased out of Yunzhou!”

The man in dark garment’s forehead sweated. Although he had reached the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster, he still found it difficult to breathe in the presence of his grandfather’s frightening aura.

“Investigate, investigate immediately for me! I want to know who killed Xuan’er, I will annihilate his entire family, slaughter his whole clan!”

With the order from the terrifying figure, all the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples finally knew that it was their young sect master who had been killed.

This shook the entire Flowing Cloud Sect.

Who didn’t know how much the Supreme Elder doted on the young sect master?

Now that he had been killed, no one dared to imagine just how furious the Supreme Elder must be.

But everyone knew that Yunzhou was about to undergo a major upheaval.

…

While Yunzhou was being stirred by the actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect, in Qingfeng Town, the elder doctor finally managed to stabilize the injuries of Fang Tao and the others.

Ma Gu and the others were also preparing to work with the surviving townsfolk to handle the corpses.

So many people had died in the town.

Including the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples killed by Lu Qing, there must have been at least hundreds of bodies.

It was clearly unrealistic to give all these many bodies a proper burial.

Not to mention that some families had been entirely slaughtered by the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples, leaving no one to tend to the corpses.

If these many bodies were not dealt with promptly, they could easily breed an epidemic, which would be even more problematic.

Therefore, the best solution was to burn them all.

The elder doctor was a Doctor, and Lu Qing and the others had killed those evildoers, saving their lives.

The townsfolk, grateful for their lives, naturally followed their instructions.

Although they were reluctant to bury those evildoers with their own friends and relatives.

Compared to the potential dreadful epidemic, this bit of discomfort was clearly negligible.

Thus, with the guidance of the townspeople, Lu Qing and the others found a barren piece of land outside the town and dug a large pit.

Then, with the concerted efforts of many, they moved all the corpses from within and outside the town into the pit, afterward gathering a lot of wood and kindling to pile on top of the bodies.

Of course, that alone was not enough.

Among the bodies in the pit were many disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect; as martial artists with strong sinews and bones, ordinary firewood would likely struggle to thoroughly incinerate them.

Therefore, after the firewood was stacked, Lu Qing took out a Jade Bottle and continuously dripped red Medicine Liquid around the perimeter of the large pit.

Once an entire bottle of red Medicine Liquid was poured out, he took a torch, had everyone step back, and then tossed the torch into the pit.

At first, everyone was unclear about Lu Qing’s actions.

However, when the torch fell into the pit and flames shot into the sky, everyone felt the scorching wave of heat and was struck with horror.

If they knew, having already retreated dozens of meters, that the heatwave still made it difficult to bear,

How high must the temperature inside that pit be?

What exactly was that red liquid Lu Qing had poured into the pit, capable of producing such terrifyingly fierce flames?

In an instant, the townspeople’s reverence toward Lu Qing greatly deepened.

The fire in the pit blazed for a full hour before extinguishing.

When the temperature at the edge of the pit finally started to drop, and people approached to inspect, they saw nothing left in the pit but ashes, not even a single piece of bone remaining.

They even observed that the edges of the pit had some mud and sand that had been directly melted into a glaze-like substance.

Beyond the townspeople’s astonishment, there was also a great sense of relief.

It was clear that, burned like this, it was impossible for a plague to breed.

For their town, this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Otherwise, if a plague were to break out, they would all have to abandon their homes and flee, leaving the land that their ancestors had lived on for generations.

The next steps were simple.

Together, they filled the pit back in and then returned to town.

On the way back, Lu Qing did not speak at all.

Upon returning to the inn, he remained silent and taciturn, just standing at the window, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

“Ah Qing.”

Seeing his disciple in an unusual disposition, the elder doctor approached.

“Master, my heart is troubled,” Lu Qing spoke faintly.

The elder doctor paused for a moment: “Is it because of that little girl?”

“Not just her,” Lu Qing shook his head, “I just feel that this matter should not end like this.”

“What do you intend to do?”

“I would like to make a visit to the Flowing Cloud Sect,” Lu Qing looked towards the sky outside the window, “Without this journey, my mind will not be at ease, my thoughts unable to break through.”

“All right, then I will accompany you on this trip,” the elder doctor nodded.

“Master…” Lu Qing turned around in surprise.

“Don’t look at me like that, do you really think your master is one of those pedantic men who treat every person the same, regardless of whether they are good or evil?”

The elder doctor chuckled softly, though his smile seemed somewhat cold.

He turned to gaze at a bloodstain in the corner.

That was precisely where the small figure had once stood.

“Although I am a doctor, that does not mean I am only a doctor.”
