The night passed quickly.
By the next morning, the Jinshan King's Divine Soul had stabilized.
Next, he only needed to recuperate in the secret chamber, and he would be able to recover in about half a year.
Ji Tianxing finished casting the spell and meditated for a while before leaving the sword world.
When he returned to his room, he saw that the sky outside the window was already bright and the sun was rising.
Therefore, he left the room to look for Xiao Han.
When he saw Xiao Han in the study room, Xiao Han was still busy going through official documents and handling the military affairs of the coastal cities. It was obvious that he had been busy all night without rest.
After the two greeted each other, Xiao Han put down a pile of documents and memorials and left the study room with Ji Tianxing, ready to set off.
Xiao Ling`er was already prepared and waiting at the entrance of the Divine General's Estate.
Although she had not rested for a few days and had been busy with official affairs.
But today, she was able to work with Ji Tianxing to investigate the plague disaster. She was very excited and full of spirit.
The three of them left the Divine General's Estate together and quickly left Blackrock City for Xunfeng City.
On the way, Xiao Han briefed Ji Tianxing about the relevant situation and news.
Xunfeng City was fifty thousand miles away from Blackrock City. It was also a coastal city with a history of more than a thousand years. There were more than five hundred thousand people living in it.
There was a bay near the city that was rich in fishing, pearls, and jade.
There were twenty thousand elite soldiers stationed near Xunfeng City to protect the city and the bay.
Since the plague spread to Xunfeng City three days ago, Xiao Han sent Xiao Chen to take charge of the situation and lead the twenty thousand elite soldiers to move the people in the city.
Hearing this, Ji Tianxing could not help but ask, "Lord Xiao, the toxic plague is very powerful and will continue to spread.
So far, more than thirty cities have been invaded by the toxic plague, and more than twenty million people have lost their homes.
Where are the people being moved to? Did you send a large number of soldiers to protect them? "
Xiao Han's eyes were a little dim as he said in a low voice, "I set up four temporary strongholds on the Tianchuan Plain near the inland as the gathering place for the refugees.
I sent fifty thousand elite soldiers to protect the four refugee camps, and more than a dozen Sky Origin Realm experts to guard them.
Currently, the highly toxic plague was only spreading to the coastal cities. It wouldn't spread to the Tianchuan Plains for the time being.
However, the incident happened so suddenly that most of the civilians fled in a panic. They were unable to wait for the elite soldiers to protect and evacuate them.
More than 20 million people fled their homes, but most of them were stranded outside, fleeing in all directions.
The total number of people who successfully moved to the Tianchuan Plains and entered the four refugee camps is only about five million. "
Ji Tianxing frowned and said with a heavy heart, "If that's the case, there are at least ten million people who are scattered in all directions. They can't be found or protected?"
"Yes." Xiao Han's expression turned grave as he said in a deep voice, "Cultivators with some strength have a high chance of escaping the Eastern Sea and returning to the mainland.
However, the ordinary people without any martial strength would most likely die a violent death in the wilderness.
The Demon Race is so cruel and vicious, using the Blood God to create such a vicious plague. If it is not stopped and contained, the people of the Eastern Sea will be plunged into misery and suffering. Nine out of ten houses will be destroyed! "
Ji Tianxing nodded and comforted him, "Lord Xiao, don't worry. The casualties and pain are all temporary.
Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. I believe that we will be able to solve the Blood God and the plague soon and return peace to the people!
What I am most worried about now is the four refugee camps in the Tianchuan Plains.
There are no cities or residences there, and they lack water, food, and all kinds of resources.
How long could the suffering commoners hold on? If the Blood God of the Demon Race sneaks into the refugee camps, won't we be wiped out? "
Xiao Han nodded and said, "Tianxing, you are right. This is the biggest problem we are facing now, and it is also my sore point.
However, it is difficult for me to solve the situation in a short period of time. I only hope that the people of the Eastern Sea are strong enough and can unite to overcome this difficulty! "
Ji Tianxing sighed and said with a bright light in his eyes, "Now, there are tens of thousands of people dying every day. The fastest way to solve the plague is to solve the root cause.
As long as we find the Blood God who spread the plague and eliminate him, everything will be easily solved! "
Xiao Han and Xiao Ling`er both expressed their agreement.
…
Twelve hours passed, and it was evening when Ji Tianxing and the other two arrived at Xunfeng City.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the faint golden sunlight shone on the surface of the sea.
However, on the endless coastline, the seawater was suffused with black gas, and the golden beach had also become dirty.
The corpses and rotting bones of many fish were washed to the beach by the waves, emitting black gas and a foul smell.
Twenty miles away from the beach, there was an ancient city built with brown reefs. It was Xunfeng City.
The ancient city was squarish and covered an area of more than seventy miles. It emitted an ancient aura.
The whistling sea breeze blew continuously, but it could not blow away the black gas and fog around Xunfeng City.
When Ji Tianxing and the other two arrived at Xunfeng City, they saw piles of bones and corpses scattered on the grassland and plains outside the city.
There were tens of thousands of corpses. There were young men and women, as well as old and weak women and children. They had all died a few days ago, and their deaths were strangely tragic.
The flesh on the bones had all disappeared, leaving only a pool of dark red blood stains on the ground. It was obvious that it had long dried up.
The sky was filled with strands of blood qi, which gathered into streaks of blood mist and flew towards the northwest.
When Xiao Han and Xiao Ling`er saw such a shocking scene, they were so angry that their bodies trembled. They cursed the devil race for being heartless.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, observed in detail and suddenly made a discovery.
He stretched out his hand to sense the sea breeze and frowned. "Lord Xiao, look at the blood mist in the sky. It's all flying towards the northwest.
On the surface, the blood mist seems to have been blown away by the sea breeze, but the sea breeze is now in the southwest direction!
Moreover, with the current speed of the sea breeze, it's obviously inconsistent with the speed of the blood mist flying away! "
Hearing this, Xiao Han immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Tianxing, back then, I used a day to think of this point and found this clue.
I didn't expect you to find a clue as soon as you came to Xunfeng City. You're really amazing! "
Xiao Han praised his intelligence and wisdom from the bottom of his heart. Then, he said in a deep voice, "I know what you want to say. In fact, I've already investigated it.
The blood mist is formed from the flesh and soul of the common people. It's obvious that it was attracted by some kind of force and gathered towards a place.
Back then, I suspected that the devil race's powerhouses were secretly devouring the blood mist to strengthen their own devil power.
Or maybe, the devil race's powerhouses set up a great formation somewhere to gather the blood mist in the sky to strengthen their power.
However, when I followed the direction of the blood mist, I didn't find anything. The blood mist also changed direction.
