Myriad City, Yun Xin Loft.
In the two decades that Yi Yun had been in seclusion, Yun Xin Loft gradually developed and became the biggest medicinal clinic in Myriad City.
This naturally had to do with the care of the Paradise Chapter, the Guiyuan family, and City Lord Qin, but it was also thanks to Dong Xiaowan's management.
Yi Yun had left two girls in Yun Xin Loft — Nangong Ru'er and Dong Xiaowan. Ru'er was indifferent and did not know how to run a business. However, Dong Xiaowan was rather talented in this aspect. Over the years, Yun Xin Loft had even opened two branches. One sold weapons and the other talisman charms.
Without Yi Yun, Yun Xin Loft naturally did not have many miraculous pills. However, they only sold ordinary pills, ensuring that they were of good quality and cheap. They had an excellent reputation.
In particular, a few years ago, a few major factions of Myriad City had jointly organized the Treasure Inspection Meet. Yun Xin Loft had shone brilliantly and played an important role. This made Yun Xin Loft's two female managers, Dong Xiaowan and Ru'er, very respected in Myriad City.
At that moment, in a private room on the second floor of Yun Xin Loft, a middle-aged man wearing a felt hat was guarding the door.
His name was Li Zhong and he was an expert at the sixth-floor Dao Palace realm. Although there were many Dao Palace realm experts in Myriad City, there were relatively few high-floor Dao Palaces. After all, once one reached the Supremacy realm, one could become an Elder of a large faction.
However, Li Zhong was only a Protector Dean in Yun Xin Loft. To be a Protector Dean in Yun Xin Loft was a cushy job. Not only was the pay lavish, but he also enjoyed a good status. Li Zhong had obtained his position mainly because of Dong Xiaowan's care. In his youth, Li Zhong had been Dong Shaoqing's bodyguard. He had watched her grow up.
At that moment, Yun Xin Loft was about to close its doors. The noisy hall on the first floor had also quietened down. Li Zhong was still guarding the private room. For a protector dean like him to guard the door, the guest inside was naturally of extraordinary status.
Li Zhong already knew that Paradise Chapter's Fairy Youqin had arrived. She was discussing matters with Dong Xiaowan.
Dong Xiaowan's status in Yun Xin Loft was obvious. Anyone who saw her had to be respectful. As for Fairy Youqin, she had been designated as the successor of the Paradise Chapter. Now, her status was like the midday sun. Only Fairy Wuxia could compare with her.
"Xiao Wan, I heard that the nearby North Profound Heavenly Palace has a plague similar to the one we had twenty years ago. A large number of geniuses are unable to cultivate and many of them are in danger."
Fairy Youqin was a little worried today. A cup of excellent Five-colored Iced Heart Tea was placed beside her, but she was not in the mood to take a sip.
"Wasn't this news a year or two ago? Why are you mentioning it again?" Dong Xiaowan looked up and asked.
"It has been around for a long time, but this time, the news is that after some geniuses were invaded by evil spirits, the evil spirits in their bodies have grown up. Those geniuses are already dead, and now they have completely turned into evil beings. Not only have their strength increased, but they are also cold-blooded and merciless. They are simply monsters."
Fairy Youqin's words chilled Dong Xiaowan's heart. For a genius to be parasitized by an evil spirit and turn into a monster, it sounded sinister and terrifying. It left one's hair standing on end.
"Will this plague break out in our Myriad Divine Territory again?" Dong Xiaowan asked with a slight frown.
The North Profound Divine Territory was also a large divine territory. Its strength was in no way inferior to the Myriad Divine Territory, but against the strange plague, the many mighty figures of the North Profound Divine Territory were nearly useless.
"I heard that the people from the North Profound Divine Territory have learned of Young Master Yi's capabilities from us. They are searching for him, and it is clear that City Lord Manor is a lot more nervous these days. City Lord Qin is also secretly searching for Young Master Yi, but to no avail."
When Fairy Youqin said that, Dong Xiaowan shook her head gently. "Miss Youqin, I know what you mean. I previously said that if Young Master were to send me any news, I would inform you as soon as possible. However, Young Master is in seclusion, and he will be in seclusion for a very long time. He said that once Young Master comes out of seclusion, even if there is a plague, it will be cured."
Ever since the Grand Alchemical-cum-Medical Meet twenty years ago, Yi Yun's prestige had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, much less Dong Xiaowan. She was filled with confidence in Yi Yun.
However, when she heard Dong Xiaowan say that, Fairy Youqin shook her head gently. Her intuition told her that the plague was not that simple. It was as though a dark cloud was slowly enveloping the Myriad Divine Territory.
"I hope that Young Master Yi will come out of seclusion soon and be cured …"
Just as Fairy Youqin spoke of her hopes, she suddenly heard an explosion. Following that, there was the sound of "Ka-cha! Ka-cha! ".
Fairy Youqin was alarmed as she immediately stood up from her seat. She swept her perception out the window and immediately, her expression changed.
Outside Yun Xin Loft, a man dressed in a conical cloak was floating in midair like an owl. Beneath his feet was a shattered plaque. The plaque that Yun Xin Loft had hung for twenty years had been smashed by someone!
"Who is it!?" Dong Xiaowan was alarmed and enraged. In all these years, no one had dared to cause trouble at Yun Xin Loft. Yet today, someone had smashed Yun Xin Loft's plaque.
"Who doesn't wish to live!?"
At that moment, Li Zhong, who was guarding the door, had already rushed out. Along with him were a number of Yun Xin Loft's guards. These people usually did not have much to do and today was the first time they encountered trouble.
However, just as they made contact with the owl-like man, they felt as though they had slammed into an invisible wall. Not only did their bodies come to a halt, they were also rapidly bounced back.
"Bam! Bam!
Bam! "A few guards shot into Yun Xin Loft like cannonballs, destroying a large number of walls and wooden frames. Some of the guards even penetrated through Yun Xin Loft and came out the other end, their bodies covered in blood!
"Uncle Li!"
Dong Xiaowan took a few steps to Li Zhong's side and extended her hand to check his pulse. Her expression was extremely ugly. Li Zhong's bones had nearly been broken by that strike. Even his meridians were mostly crippled. Although Li Zhong was still breathing, his current state was equivalent to having most of his cultivation crippled. His strength would only drop in the future and there was no way for him to grow. He probably did not even have a few hundred years left to live.
"Miss, quickly … quickly leave. Call Qin … City Lord Qin."
Li Zhong said those words with great difficulty as blood constantly bubbled out of his mouth. He knew that he was nearly crippled but at that moment, he was still concerned about Dong Xiaowan. In Jadewave Sect, Dong Xiaowan was his young mistress.
At that moment, Fairy Youqin appeared beside Dong Xiaowan. She had immediately sent a voice transmission talisman to the upper echelons of Paradise Chapter.
However, she knew very well that with the black-cloaked man's strength, he could definitely cause irreparable damage before the upper echelons of Paradise Chapter arrived. Fairy Youqin did not know if she could withstand it.
"Where's Yi Yun? Tell me where he is! "
