Clear as a Candle
Following the unexpected appearance of the Changyu incident, the Undying and Imperishable Poison finally began to break out. Although it was still in a small area, it was gradually becoming impossible to contain!
All the Starry Sky masters and citizens of the empire who came into contact with the poison were infected. Some were temporarily contained, while others were killed on the spot.
At first, the Heavenly War Empire was caught off guard, but soon, they came up with countermeasures. They didn't just simply kill those poisoned people, they used technological weapons, and a large number of small patrol ships began to patrol around the Imperial Capital.
Once the poison was discovered, they were immediately sealed off and killed by the high temperature of the ships' energy cannons. Although this caused some damage to the capital's buildings, in this critical period, they couldn't care too much.
Under the all-out response, the first wave of the Undying Indestructible Strange Poison's outbreak was finally stopped, and the situation was under control. In less than half a day, the courtyard temporarily rented by Changyu's family had already turned into a land of death, and no one dared to approach. Only the Heavenly War Empire's official forces were there to deal with the aftermath, plowing the ground with high-temperature energy beams, hoping to use this method to incinerate the remaining poison.
The hundreds of imperial citizens on the street were almost completely wiped out. Of the hundred or so masters of the Changyu family, only the head of the family, Changyu Jinglong, and an elder survived. Even the two of them were only allowed to leave after being carefully inspected by the empire's experts to confirm that they didn't carry the poison.
After that, Changyu Jinglong left the Heavenly War Empire in dejection.
Although this matter had temporarily come to an end, as the entire street on the west side of the capital fell and was sealed off and turned into a land of death, panic spread. The entire Heavenly War Empire was in complete chaos. Countless citizens and Starry Sky masters fled. The situation was already out of control.
Although Ye Xuan wanted to help, he searched the internal database of the Devouring System, but in the end, he couldn't find any countermeasures. This kind of Undying and Imperishable Poison, even the Devouring System didn't have a way to completely neutralize it.
Previously, even the Shennong Cauldron could only condense the poison into pearls, but couldn't purify it. From this alone, one could see the problem.
Without a doubt, the Heaven Battle Planet was finished. The first wave of outbreaks that had occurred on the western side of the Imperial Capital was only the beginning. Some of the viruses had definitely spread, but they had not yet appeared because they were still in hibernation.
Not long after, the second wave of explosions would completely crumble the wills of all the imperial citizens and experts on the Heaven Battle Planet. This was something that Ye Xuan could already see, and it wouldn't be too far away!
With a sigh, he stepped into the Clear River Pavilion. It was not a good place to stay. After keeping the appointment, he planned to leave.
After meeting him, Hu Qing had a strange expression on his face. He sized up Ye Xuan from head to toe for a long time until Ye Xuan felt a little uncomfortable. Then, he sighed faintly and shook his head with a bitter smile. "If the old patriarch could really have a descendant like you, he would definitely be smiling in the underworld!"
"What a pity. Linghu Jue colluded with the Yin Devil Clan. He's no longer fit to be a disciple of Linghu Clan …"
"Ah?"
Ye Xuan was startled and his expression immediately changed. Mister Hu had not released his cultivation aura, but when Ye Xuan faced him, the invisible pressure he felt was vaguely similar to when he faced the wretched Mosquito Butcher. Even if this person was not a Universe Realm expert of the fifteenth major realm, he was at least a Genesis Realm expert of the fourteenth major realm.
Ye Xuan did not expect that Hu Qing had already seen through the fact that he was impersonating Linghu Young Master, and even knew that Linghu Jue was the real Linghu Young Master. This made Ye Xuan feel a little uneasy.
"Little friend, there is no need to panic. If you want to pursue this matter, this Hu would have already acted. Why would I need to talk to you about this?"
Waving his hand, Hu Qing had Ye Xuan sit down. He personally poured two cups of tea and gestured for him to drink. Then, he continued, "This Hu is not a member of the Linghu bloodline. Back then, I received great kindness from the old patriarch, so I stayed on the Heaven Battle Planet to protect the remnants of the Linghu bloodline. I originally hoped that the young master who escaped back then would one day return with glory, but who would have thought that this would be the result …"
"The family is unfortunate!"
At this point, Hu Qing sighed again. "Speaking of which, this Hu has to thank little friend. If you hadn't impersonated Linghu Young Master, Linghu Jue would have suddenly colluded with the Yin Demon Clan. Linghu Jue's name would have become infamous throughout the three great cosmoses. At least now, everyone would think that you are the real one and protect the old patriarch's reputation!"
"Hu Qing thanks you!"
After saying this, he actually stood up and cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan, bowing deeply.
"This, this …"
Ye Xuan's face was burning hot. He could not believe that he would encounter such a situation when he was impersonating Linghu Jue. The other party clearly saw through him like a candle and even thanked him so sincerely after knowing the truth. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not take it anymore and quickly supported him. He was so embarrassed that he did not know what to say.
"It's a pity that the jade ruler of the King of Medicine's inheritance was snatched away by Linghu Jue in the end. If it could fall into little friend's hands, with little friend's great talent, you would definitely be able to bring it to greater heights."
Hu Qing seemed to have recalled the past and reminisced. "Back then, the old patriarch entrusted this Hu with two tasks. The first was that if his descendant was worth nurturing, I would wholeheartedly assist him and help him become a talent. However, there is no hope for this. The second was related to the King of Medicine's inheritance. That secret realm was first discovered by the old patriarch of Linghu Jue, and the rise of the Linghu Clan was also related to it. They had once obtained half a volume of the King of Medicine's inheritance at the periphery of the secret realm."
"The old patriarch was amazed by the King of Medicine's talent and was worried that the inheritance would fall into the hands of evil people. He instructed me to protect it and find a reliable genius to help him seize it in the future. I never thought that this Hu would break my promise."
"After experiencing this, this Hu has already seen through a lot of things. I don't want to stay in the mortal world anymore. I want to find an ancient place to meditate and comprehend the Great Dao. Today, I have a request. I hope little friend won't refuse it …"
"Speaking of which, this matter is considered reckless, but for little friend, it is more or less helpful. Otherwise, this Hu wouldn't mention it. I hope little friend can accept the descendants of Linghu Jue in the Clear River Pavilion. Their cultivation is extraordinary. With little friend's talent, you will definitely achieve great things. With them by your side, it will save you a lot of effort. However, I hope little friend doesn't reveal your identity and leave them with a spiritual support. It's also good."
"This …"
Ye Xuan was shocked. He was obviously a fake, but Mr. Hu in front of him asked him to continue pretending. Although he was painstakingly doing so, he really couldn't do it.
After pondering for a while, Ye Xuan suddenly had an idea. He cupped his hands and said, "If Mister wants to find a place to cultivate, I have a place to go. Moreover, I can also take the descendants of Clear River Pavilion with me. It is a very vast world where they can display their strength. If they succeed in the future, they will definitely be extraordinary. Besides, we really can't stay on Heaven Battle Planet. Soon, a great disaster will descend, so it is better to leave early. "
"Oh, there is such a place?"
Hu Qing was startled and repeatedly asked, "Where is it?"
"Death Star Field, Triumph City!"
"Ah?"
Although Hu Qing had been staying on Heaven Battle Planet, he was aware of all the major events that happened in the outside world. When he heard Ye Xuan mention the Death Star Field, he was stunned for a moment before suddenly understanding and laughing, "Hahaha …"
