Chapter 304 Solo Rescue
The intensity of this internal force was beyond anything the two could imagine, emanating from Shu Lingxing's body.
After an unknown amount of time, the surging internal energy gradually subsided and returned to Shu Lingxing's body.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Lie and A Fu sitting not far away, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
Upon seeing this, the two immediately stood up and went to greet her, asking in unison, "Sister Shulingxing, have you successfully broken through?"
Shu Lingxing nodded, her voice carrying a hint of undisguised joy after her recent breakthrough.
"Thanks to you all, I've finally broken through to the Great Yuan Realm."
"Great!" Afu couldn't help but cheer.
Xiao Lie also breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face as well.
The three exchanged a few words, and Xiao Lie quickly called over the waiter and ordered a table full of dishes.
Under the dim light of an oil lamp, the three sat around the table.
Although there weren't many grand pronouncements, everyone felt a warm glow in their hearts because of the significant increase in their strength.
"This is how we were able to break through to a higher realm."
Hua Lingxing nodded: "I see!"
She then asked, "And then what happened?"
Xiao Lie continued, "After the three of us broke through our cultivation levels, we rushed to Donghai City without stopping."
Upon arrival, they discovered that the disciples of the Peach Feather Sect were already in the city treating the patients.
Actually, when we arrived, the conditions of those who had contracted the disease were already gradually improving.
Hua Lingxing was somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect the medical skills of the Peach Feather Sect to be so amazing."
"No." Xiao Lie shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Hua Lingxing pressed.
"At first, we thought the same as Sister Yang, that it was because Tao Yu Sect's medical skills were superb."
Xiao Lie explained, "Later, when we stayed behind to assist them, we learned about it from the second elder of the Taoyu Sect."
"It is the reappearance of the two valley masters of Medicine King Valley in the Si Dynasty territory."
Upon hearing this, Hua Lingxing's eyes widened in surprise, her tone filled with astonishment: "You mean Mu Lingyi, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, and his wife Yan Moli? The two of them have already appeared in the world?"
“Yes.” Xiao Lie nodded. “The second elder of Taoyu Sect said that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley wrote down the cause of the plague in several copies in order to prevent the people from suffering from the plague.”
The gyrfalcon was sent to the sect leader of the Peach Feather Sect before they descended the mountain to rescue the people.
After hearing Xiao Lie's explanation, Hua Lingxing exclaimed, "I never expected that the two valley masters, who have lived in seclusion for so many years, would still care about all living beings. Their love is truly boundless."
"So, with this couple involved, they really can solve the plague!"
"So we saw that the patients in Donghai City were getting better, and we originally wanted to stay for a few more days for observation."
"Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, we heard the news about the real and fake Spirit Kings, so Sister Shulingxing and I rushed over immediately," Xiao Lie said.
Hua Lingxing then asked, "Why didn't Afu come back with you? Instead, he went to Jiaxian County."
"After breaking through to the Innate Realm, he had also experienced the Grandmaster-level internal energy of Sister Shulingxing up close, and knew that coming here would only be a hindrance."
Xiao Lie explained, "So in the end, it was decided that he would take the prescription to Jiaxian County to find Shui'er and the others."
"Hmm, that's thoughtful of you, knowing to bring the prescription to save people." Hua Lingxing nodded.
"I believe the plague in the Spirit Kingdom will subside soon." Xiao Lie paused, his tone turning serious, "but..."
"Just what?"
"What happens next will probably be even more terrible than this plague."
Hua Lingxing was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what do you plan to do now?"
"Wait."
"Wait? Wait for what?"
"Wait for someone to come back."
Hua Lingxing raised her hand and slapped Xiao Lie on the back of the head, saying irritably, "Speak properly, why are you beating around the bush? Do you think this is cool?"
"Ouch!" Xiao Lie cried out in pain.
He rubbed the back of his head vigorously, looking aggrieved, and said with a forced smile, "I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you!"
"Once the news spreads, everyone will naturally come back."
"I thought you had some great idea." Hua Lingxing rolled her eyes at him.
"Do you think that even if Daya and Xiaoyue come back, with their current level of cultivation, they can handle what's to come?"
Xiao Lie said helplessly, "Oh dear, Sister Yang, what else can we do?"
"Anyway, there are at least three months left, right?"
There's nothing we can do but wait.
"Come with me!"
"Huh? Sister Yang, where are we going?"
"Didn't the Spirit King tell me to take you away? How can I take you away if we don't return to Illusionary Spirit City?"
"Oh oh oh!"
"Ah, Sister Yang, are you really going to take us away? Aren't you going to help the Spirit King?"
No matter how Xiao Lie shouted, Hua Lingxing ignored him and rode off, leaving Xiao Lie standing there stunned.
Then he quickly called out, "Sister Yang, wait for me!"
Regardless of what Hua Lingxing and Xiao Lie will do next.
Let's shift our focus to Afu.
After parting ways with Xiao Lie and Shu Lingxing in Donghai City, Afu traveled alone to Jiaxian City with the prescription.
He traveled for nearly two months, and all he saw and heard was the devastation of a chaotic world.
Along the way, there were homeless people everywhere because of the "earthquake."
Most of them moved to other places with their families.
Everyone was pale and emaciated, with empty eyes.
Whenever Afu encounters someone who is sick, he will take out a packet of medicine from the bag on his horse and give it to them.
But not everyone will appreciate his good qualities.
His actions were noticed by able-bodied men from a passing village who saw him alone, carrying a large quantity of medicinal herbs and distributing them.
The group of people immediately rushed forward with bloodshot eyes to snatch it.
Afu didn't want to fight, but the other party kept pressing him.
Left with no other choice, he had to take matters into his own hands and beat those people until they were crying for their parents.
Encountering this kind of robbery is considered mild.
What horrified him even more were the inhumane scenes.
Some parents, in order to get something to eat for their precious sons, would personally tie up their own daughters and give them to bachelors in neighboring villages.
The girl was only seven or eight years old, and she was crying her heart out, while the other adults turned their heads away and ignored the situation.
It's as if this kind of thing has become commonplace for them.
In chaotic times, survival becomes the only obsession.
Unable to endure the hunger and cold, some people sneaked into the crowd under the cover of night, their eyes red with greed, to snatch the life-saving rations.
They would not spare even the few tattered pieces of burlap used to wrap themselves, leaving a group of victims crying out in despair.
Whenever Ah Fu encountered these thugs who were robbing grain, he never showed mercy and always acted swiftly and ruthlessly.
None of the villains he encountered ever left alive.
But he was all alone, and ultimately, he couldn't hold up the boat alone.
I can only save the children I encounter.
Those he didn't encounter, he couldn't concern himself with.
