Chapter 477: Even cultivators are not spared
Cao Chasing Soul opened his mouth to speak and stopped, thinking about it or deciding that it would be better to talk about it later, he got up a little helplessly and left with everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info walked out of the council hall, Cao Chasing Soul and everyone said goodbye to each other, and ran to the West Wing Courtyard of the Demon King Palace.
Cao Chasing Soul is a person next to the demon king Cheng Feihong, who belongs to the founding hero of the Great Demon Empire, and is also one of the ten protectors of the empire. The power of an imperial protector is extremely great, they are in charge of the security of the entire empire, and they are the rulers of the implementation of the law, and if necessary, they can also dispatch the hall master to assist, which can be described as the pinnacle of power above ten thousand people under one person.
There are two mountain ranges in the north and south of the outer perimeter of the Demon King Palace, there is a Taiqing Lake in the west, and the terrain in the middle and east is flat, it is the largest main city of the Great Demon Empire, covering an area equal to the sum of the other two halls, and it is inhabited by as many as six million people. The Demon King Hall is composed of four major areas, the northern location is the core of the Demon King Palace, which belongs to the palace where the Demon King and the Supreme Elder live; the eastern location is the East Wing Courtyard where the hall master and elders live; the western location is the West Wing Courtyard where the Dharma Protector and the heads of the management live in; and the southern location is the Hundred Paradise where ordinary people live, and the council hall is built in the center of the four major ranges.
The Great Demon Empire has been calm for nearly a thousand years, is the trivial matter in front of him the beginning of turmoil? Cao Chasing Soul bowed his head and walked slowly, and he didn't notice the guards he met in the aisle, and he didn't notice greeting him, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the West Chamber, he was stopped by a voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Yaohui running towards him and said, "Cao Protector, I have something important to discuss with you, wait for me!"
Cao Chasing Soul asked suspiciously, "Elder Xu, we have only been separated for a long time just now, what is the matter with you running to me in such a hurry?"
Xu Yaohui, as the hall master of the Demon King Palace, had a lot more trivial troubles than Cao Chasing Souls, and came to the other party and said worriedly: "Cao Protector, I just returned to the East Chamber, and a subordinate reported that there was another major incident in the Demon King Palace, and a suspected plague infection was found in the west of Baiyuan, and there were about fifty infected people, and now thirty people have died violently. Now that there has been a panicked riot in Baiyuan, Peng Yisui and Ji Yongqian led two hundred guards to temporarily suppress the scene and did not let the plague spread rapidly. This matter can't be delayed in a hurry, I just want us to go and see it together!"
It is really a bad luck for a long time, the more than 1,000 people who have died in the Demon King Hall have not been investigated clearly, and now that he heard the news of the spread of the plague, Cao Chasing Soul felt really haggard, walked out of the door, and said anxiously: "Elder Xu, since it is suspected that it is a plague, has Lao Peng isolated the infected people?" Alas, it would be good if my senior brother was here, he is a master of the elixir, and any disease can be cured in his hands, but unfortunately I don't know where he is now? Let's talk while walking!"
"The subordinates reported that they had been separated, but the houses where the people lived were dense, some people were trapped in the houses and did not dare to come out, some people were sad and their relatives were left emotionally unstable, and some people were so excited that they took action against the guards. Peng Yisui was so busy that he sent someone to find me, and it just so happened that we couldn't come out of the council hall at that time, and our subordinates couldn't break in to find us, so the subordinates who came to report were in a hurry. As soon as I returned to the East Chamber, there was a group of people waiting for me, and now I will let them go to the place where the accident happened first to appease the people, let's go quickly!" Xu Yaohui followed Cao Chasing Soul and walked towards the accident site of Baiyuan Paradise together.
Cao Chasing Soul listened to the breath and quickened his pace, and at the same time said: "Lao Peng and Lao Ji are calm and sophisticated, and things can be controlled and saved, but the problem is that there are many variables that exist after a period of time, and more than half of the infected people have died, and it is not easy to figure out how the plague came about. By the way, did my senior brother's apprentice Xianping come to the scene?"
"Cao Protector, it's too late to report in these circumstances, and I'm the same as you, I don't know what the specific situation is, let's go to the scene to find out!" Xu Yaohui took the lead after finishing speaking, and the two of them galloped all the way to the accident site of Baiyuan. On the street outside the three rows of residential houses at the scene, more than 800 guards had gathered in all directions, intercepting the crowd who wanted to enter and exit, some physical clashes and scuffles occurred frequently, and the sound of scolding and crying attracted many onlookers, but they did not dare to approach the place where the accident occurred, and stood at a distance of 20 meters away and talked about it.
Xu Yaohui and Cao Chasing Soul walked into the guarded street, the two looked up at the miserable scene, there were more than eighty people lying on both sides of the street in the distance, some were already motionless, some were dying in pain, and they knew at a glance that they were all infected with the plague. A closer look reveals that the infected person is dying in a strange state, with festering marks all over his body, and cries for help can be heard from time to time in the houses. As he turned his head and saw Peng Yisui and Ji Yongqian at the entrance of the street, they were surrounded by more than 20 people, and the heart-rending cries made the two of them feel heavy, and they kept saying good things repeatedly, persuading the families of those who had lost their loved ones.
When Peng Yisui was left without a master, he found that Cao Protector and Elder Xu were coming, and quickly pushed aside the surrounding crowd and walked towards the two, and came to report to him: "Protector Cao, Elder Xu, your subordinates can look forward to you! Although the spread of the plague has been temporarily controlled, the situation is not optimistic, there is a guard who has come into contact with the infected person and has died, which proves that the virus is very fatal, and many family members who have come into contact with their relatives have also died of illness, resulting in no one daring to approach now, and the specific cause cannot be found!"
Cao Chasing Soul asked suspiciously, "Old Peng, what are the symptoms of the deceased? And is this virus difficult to immune?"
Peng Yisui turned his head and pointed to the corpse on the street, nodded and said: "Cao Protector, the guard is also not spared, and the corpse in white clothes at the door of the middle house is his." At that time, we received an urgent report, so we brought people to hurry here, and after sealing off the scene, Lao Ji and I went to the door of the house with six guards. Coincidentally, an infected person ran out of the house, and the guard reached out to help him, but when there was no incense, the guard said that he was itchy all over his body, and he also felt a pain in breathing, and before he finished speaking, he bled and fell to the ground and died. In an instant, I guessed that he was infected, and Lao Ji and I immediately evacuated the family members who had not been in contact with their relatives safely, so we came here, and after on-site investigation and understanding, it was not clear the source of the virus for the time being. ”
