I suspect that this matter is not as simple as it seems.”

“Hmm? Husband, you mean…?”

At that moment, Shen Ruyan seemed to have thought of something. Her beautiful eyes narrowed.

“That’s right.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded with a solemn expression.

“Looking at the intensity of this plague and its development, it’s very likely not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

However, we still lack specific information. We will only know the details after

I make a trip to the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.”

Just like that.

Shen Ruyan left behind to be in charge of guarding Mount Mystic Tai in case anything happened.

As for Jiang Chengxuan, he flew towards the Jade Water Sword Pavilion alone.

With his current Golden Core cultivation, it only took him half a day to arrive at the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.

As soon as he sent a message in, two figures appeared in front of Jiang Chengxuan.

They were all his acquaintances, Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou.

Seeing Jiang Chengxuan, Hou Dongbai immediately congratulated him.

“So it’s Fellow Daoist Jiang.

You have actually condensed a Golden Core since we parted ways.

Your wife, Fellow Daoist Shen, should have also condensed a Golden Core like you, right?

It’s really worth celebrating.”

Jiang Chengxuan was honest with Hou Dongbai about his and Shen Ruyan’s cultivation level.

On the other hand, Hua Mengyou had mixed feelings when she realized Jiang Chengxuan’s progress. However, she still went forward to greet him.

“Greetings, Senior Jiang. Congratulations on successfully forming the Golden Core. Your future is promising.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately waved at Hua Mengyou and said,

“Fellow Daoist Hua, don’t say that. We are very close friends. Let’s continue to call each other Fellow Daoist.”

When Jiang Chengxuan said this, he sounded very sincere.

This warmed Hua Mengyou’s heart for no reason. She immediately nodded and said,

“In that case, I won’t refuse your good intention.”

At the side, Hou Dongbai was also quite impressed by Jiang Chengxuan’s broadmindedness.

In the cultivation world, it was common that when one broke through to a new realm, they would a.s.sume the air of a senior to their friends.

Everyone was already used to seeing such a thing. They even felt that it was the norm.

However, neither Jiang Chengxuan nor Shen Ruyan was that kind of person.

At this moment, both parties chatted for a while.

Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou led Jiang Chengxuan to the guest hall of the Jade Water Sword Pavilion.

When the two sides sat down, Jiang Chengxuan explained his purpose for coming this time.

It was about the plague.

This made Hou Dongbai and Hua Mengyou’s expressions turn solemn.

Hou Dongbai said, “To be honest, this plague has already caused extremely serious losses to the entire Sangming County.

Currently, the mortal death toll in Sangming County has reached more than six million.

Even more than 3,000 Qi Refinement cultivators have died as well as more than ten early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Moreover, according to Fellow Daoist Wen of the Heavenly Yue Sect, in order to resolve the plague this time, we need a Level 4 spiritual doctor.

Otherwise, we can only temporarily suppress it. We can’t really eliminate it.”

The Fellow Daoist Wen that Hou Dongbai mentioned was the Ice Fairy of the Heavenly Yue Sect, Wen Shujun.

This woman was also the only cultivator in the Liang Nation who cultivated spiritual medicine techniques.

However, she was only a Level 3 spiritual doctor and could not completely eliminate the plague.

“Level 4 spiritual doctor?”

Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but frown.

As far as he knew, there didn’t seem to be any Level 4 spiritual doctors in the Yun Nation.

He did not know if there were any in the Yan Nation.

However, if there was, Hou Dongbai and the others would have invited him over long ago.

Since they didn’t, there was probably no Level 4 spiritual doctor in the Yan Nation.

As for the Zheng and the Shu Nations.

The relations.h.i.+p between the two nations and the other three nations was already very tense.

Both sides had even called back all the cultivators and industries in their territory.

It was obvious that once the ten-year no war agreement was over, a war would break out.

Under current circ.u.mstances, even if the two nations had Level 4 spiritual doctors, they would probably not come to the Liang Nation to help.

In fact, at this moment, they probably wanted more people to die in Liang Nation.

It would be even better if all the mortals and low-level cultivators in the Liang Nation died from the plague.

So.

If they wanted to seek the help of a Level 4 spiritual doctor, they might have to make a trip to the relatively distant state of Yu.

As a large state in the Northern Border, the state of Yu had a total of three Nascent Soul-level forces.

They were the Hidden Sword Palace, the Nascent Soul Immortal family, the Cao family, and the Mingzhen Sect.

The Golden Core and Violet Palace forces under them far exceeded the combined strength of the five nations of the Cangnan Region.

The only problem was that the state of Yu was quite far.

Even with their cultivation at the Golden Core, it would probably take them more than half a year to make a round trip.

In this half a year, it was hard to say how things would develop.

Moreover, if they wanted to invite a Level 4 spiritual doctor to come all the way to Liang Nation, the price they had to pay would not be small.

“Is there no other way?”

Jiang Chengxuan couldn’t help but ask again.

This time, Hou Dongbai nodded.

“There is, but compared to finding a Level 4 spiritual doctor, this method might be even more difficult.”

“What is it? Pavilion Master Hou, why don’t you tell me?”

Jiang Chengxuan continued to ask.

Hou Dongbai said, “That is to find a treasure that can restrain the plague.

It’s said that the Cao family in the state of Yu has a treasure called the Heavenly Pearl. It can restrain all poisonous fog and plague below Level 5. It even has a considerable suppression effect on poisonous fog above Level 5.

However, you also know how difficult it is to obtain such a treasure.”

“I see.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded in understanding.

At this moment, he was basically certain that the plague in Sangming County was man made.

However, he did not know who the mastermind was.

Jiang Chengxuan asked Hou Dongbai this question.

When Hou Dongbai heard this, his face darkened.

He said coldly, “Fellow Daoist Jiang, you’re right. There’s a high chance that this is man-made.

We even have reason to suspect that this has something to do with the Shangguan family.”

“The Shangguan family?”

This answer surprised Jiang Chengxuan.

It was really hard for him to imagine how the Shangguan family, which was far away in the Zheng Nation, could do such a thing.

As if reading Jiang Chengxuan’s mind, Hou Dongbai suddenly asked,

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, have you heard of Plague Demon before?”

“Plague Demon?”

Jiang Chengxuan shook his head.

“I’ve really never heard of this. I only know that among the demonic cultivators, there are Phantom Demon and Shadow Demon.

However, this is the first time I’ve heard of the Plague Demon.”

Hou Dongbai nodded.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, you’ve always stayed in the Yun Nation, right? No wonder you’ve never heard of this demon.”

Then, Hou Dongbai carefully explained the background of this demon to Jiang Chengxuan.

It turned out that the range of activity for this demon in the past was in the Liang Nation and the Yan Nation.

Three hundred years ago.

A Golden Core cultivator from Yan Nation happened to encounter this demon, so a huge battle erupted.

In that battle, this demon was severely injured by the Golden Core cultivator of the Yan Nation. After that, he disappeared without a trace. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that people occasionally discovered traces of his movement.

Now, although he still had not appeared, judging from the situation in Sangming County and Blue Maple County, the only person who could bring about such a powerful plague was him.

“Do you know what this demon’s real name is?”

At this moment, Hou Dongbai looked at Jiang Chengxuan and asked.

However, this time, before Jiang Chengxuan could answer, Hou Dongbai answered his own question,

“This demon’s name is Shangguan Quanhong. He was expelled by the Shangguan family hundreds of years ago.

As for the reason…

It’s because this person secretly cultivated a demonic technique..”
