Chapter 78: The Heavenly Dao Sect Sets Its Sights on Sacred Dragon Village

"It seems there's no problem anymore!"

And inside the Sacred Dragon Dojo!

Chen Xuan did not show his face.

Instead, he secretly sent Tian Ye and Wang Wa to resolve the matter.

"It seems the village occasionally faces invasions by dangerous phantom beasts!"

"We need to get some phantom beasts to protect everyone in the village!"

If I'm usually around the village, it's fine.

But according to the system's prompts,

I often go out.

What if, while I'm away,

a powerful phantom beast comes to the village? That would be trouble.

…

"What's going on? He seems to be sick!"

In Lianjing Village!

Inside a house.

A young man was enveloped in black energy.

He was utterly weak.

His eyes were red.

They looked like the eyes of some strange creature.

Rat!

Yes, his eyes looked just like a rat's.

"Go get the village doctor to take a look!"

The elder shouted.

At first,

when he saw his son, he only thought he was tired.

But!

Less than a day passed.

His body began to change drastically.

He grew utterly listless.

As if all his vitality had been drained away.

……

Soon after!

The village doctor hurried over.

However!

Quickly!

He shook his head again.

"In my decades of medical practice, I've never seen this illness!"

"Strange, it's incredibly strange!"

"This isn't an ordinary illness—he must have provoked some phantom beast!"

"He was injured by a strange phantom beast, and that's why he's like this!"

The old physician said solemnly.

"Phantom beast injury?"

"Old Wu, isn't your son a student at some academy in the city?"

"Ask him to get an animal tamer with a healing-type phantom beast to take a look?"

"Please, no amount of money is a problem!"

"What are you talking about, Old Xu? Little Shao has been under my watch since he was a child—he's best friends with our Xiao Si. How could I let anything happen to him?"

"Don't worry, I'll make sure he gets a classmate over!"

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Old Wu!"

"Hey, we're family—don't mention it!"

……

"How's the plan going?"

"It's going perfectly. I'm sure it won't take a month—no, a week, just a week to infect everyone in this village!"

"Once they contract the Plague Rat's plague, they won't live past a month!"

"How about it? Did you leave any traces?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao—no one noticed. They'll just think it's an accident!"

Under a tree on the hillside.

Zhao Yifeng and Zhang Beiting wore grim smiles.

Beside them, a giant rat wore the same grim smile.
