Didn’t you already send him to jail? What’s the point of dragging him out again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve told you long ago, no one can cure this illness, why won’t you believe it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your daughter is human, we are human too, everyone who gets this illness will die sooner or later, no one can escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Huo listened to the rumors around him and turned his head angrily, shouting at them, \"All of you shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a fierce wind arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive roar made the houses tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan, still in Jiang Huo’s grip, was bleeding from his orifices, looking utterly defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan could be certain that Jiang Huo was definitely beyond Tier Eight, perhaps even Tier Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Han Zhan in such a miserable state, Jiang Huo sneered and murmured \"weakling\" before dragging him inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the house, there lay a young girl who looked no older than twelve or thirteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were tightly shut, brows furrowed, with a look of agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Huo tossed Han Zhan beside the bed and said threateningly, \"You can start now. I’ll give you five minutes, if you fail to wake her, you know the consequences.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan stood up, and as soon as he got close to the young girl, countless dark threads emerged from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These black threads crawled like tiny bugs in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even tried to cling to Han Zhan, making him shiver at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is... Han Zhan instinctively wanted to summon his Contracted Spirit, but both the Xuanyuan Sword and Fu Xi Zither were completely unresponsive, only the Shennong Cauldron answered his call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the appearance of the Shennong Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black thread-like insects seemed to meet their nemesis, frantically climbing away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young girl on the bed began to foam at the mouth and convulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Huo instinctively clenched his fists, ready to pulverize Han Zhan into pulp at anything amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After summoning the Shennong Cauldron, Han Zhan could clearly feel these black thread-like insects held some peculiar yet malevolent Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sinister Power was competing with the Shennong Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick fog enveloped the young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan no longer hesitated and placed his hands on the Shennong Cauldron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bright runes surged from the cauldron’s mouth as Han Zhan shouted, \"Creation of Living Beings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The runes were driven into the young girl’s body, and with a whimpering sound, she slowly opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awake!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jiang Huo became extremely excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring Han Zhan, who was still standing beside him, Jiang Huo hugged the young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yue, you finally woke up, Xiao Yue!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father?\" Jiang Yue, hugged by Jiang Huo, looked dazed, unaware of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, Han Zhan had managed to wake her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Huo stopped speaking harshly to Han Zhan, and looking at him with gratitude said, \"Saint Master, you truly have a method! I’ll apply to the clan leader to lift your custody.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, if you ever need something from me, Jiang Huo, just say the word, you saved my daughter, I owe you my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Jiang Huo’s straightforward words, Han Zhan nodded, but his gaze remained on the awakened Jiang Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jiang Yue was awake, her illness wasn’t completely cured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black thread-like insects were just a symptom; the thick black fog on Jiang Yue’s body had fully integrated within, and even the Creation of Living Beings couldn’t remove it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of strange illness is this? This disease is too peculiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Han Zhan, it was the first time encountering a disease that couldn’t be dispelled by the Creation of Living Beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon considering how he couldn’t even beat a random young person here, he accepted the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world itself isn’t normal, and trying to view it through normal human eyes would make one seem abnormal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a healer, Han Zhan chose to reveal the truth to Jiang Huo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expecting Jiang Huo to fly into a rage again, he was surprised when Jiang Huo nodded, unsurprised at all, \"I know all that you said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it was Han Zhan’s turn to be shocked; knowing all this why still treat the illness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knowing or not, the timing of the outbreak is wrong, Xiao Yue is so young, she shouldn’t have fallen ill now. I’m just a father unwilling to give up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Han Zhan’s confusion, Jiang Huo explained gently to the outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out not just Jiang Yue, but everyone living here suffered from a strange illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This illness surfaces at the age of thirty-five, unleashing countless black fogs from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starting from the abdomen, moving to the heart, and lastly the head with the entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are silently consumed by the black fog, with no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what they try, there’s no escape from this doom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s as if some kind of Curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a disease, it’s my first time hearing of it.\" Recalling the black thread-like insects earlier, Han Zhan pondered deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This World Fruit they live on is called Hundred Herbs Sacred Heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first bizarre occurrence upon entering this world is this illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus the words from that young NPC in the prison earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting it all together, solving the world’s mystery must be related to this illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Han Zhan proactively asked, \"Uncle Jiang, has this illness affected the entire Jiang Clan People?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, without exception, whether it’s the clan leader or common folk, from a two-year-old child to a thirty-four-year-old adult, they all bear this strange illness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are the symptoms of this strange illness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinarily unseen, but we never go out at night, as stepping out leads to unpredictable terrifying occurrences. No one has broken this Curse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not going out at night? Han Zhan was staggered internally. He quickly asked, \"Do you have any records of when this disease first appeared?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this question, Jiang Huo also paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he shook his head, \"I don’t know, I’m a simple person, just living my life. These histories and such, I’ve never bothered to memorize.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It fits with Jiang Huo’s character, Han Zhan noted internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can take you to see the clan leader, he should have detailed records,\" Jiang Huo added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Han Zhan understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jiang Clan’s leader is a critical figure, not easy to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Huo wasn’t involved, if he chose not to save the young girl, this clue might have ended there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Han Zhan made the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded in agreement, \"Alright, let’s go see the clan leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, outside the house, a crowd had gathered, anticipating a spectacle, expecting Jiang Huo to beat Han Zhan into pulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the two were walking shoulder to shoulder, leaving the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1188,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.178Z",1,"novelbin.me","059c4aa28c82f43c9b7ee6a59bbaf528538ccce6a9b4821ae857fda5ffec7c0e","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-78","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-76",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
