Chapter 871: Medicine King Gu Gu Master

Ye Qingran looked at the earnest Xiao Chen, smiled and replied, "Mother already has the antidote."

Xiao Chen looked at Ye Qingran with a face full of admiration and said, "Mother is so amazing!"

Ye Qingran gave no answer.

However, to the people of Wuji Hall, they thought Ye Qingran burned the rat to death because she simply had no way to counter the plague's toxin.

Suddenly a gust of fresh wind blew in, and the air seemed to carry a strange scent.

"You all look, what is that?"

In the western part of Xiliang City, a dense cloud was moving toward them; if it were an ordinary black cloud, no one would have reacted so strongly.

The cloud was green—bright emerald green. The green cloud looked eerie, exactly the same color as the rat Ye Qingran had just burned. 1

"It's bad! The plague is coming!"

Someone showed a terrified expression and shouted loudly. In an instant, most of those present panicked, not knowing what to do.

"Ye Qingran, the plague is about to arrive. We have taken the antidote, but you have none; you will die a terrible death!"

The people of Wuji Hall saw the massive green cloud and wore a schadenfreude smile.

Soon, similar green clouds drifted in from the east, south, and north, and the air was filled with a scent of death!

"It's over, it's over! I didn't expect the plague to arrive so quickly!"

"The people of Wuji Hall said this plague has no antidote!"

"What to do? I don't want to die yet!"

The crowd let out wails, their eyes filled with despair.

Compared with the despair and fear of Xiliang City's people, the Wuji Hall folk remained far more composed.

They had already taken the antidote, so even amid the plague they would not be infected. The people of Xiliang City were different; they lacked the antidote and were not strong, so they would all be infected soon and die within a month!

"Ye Qingran, why don't you release me quickly! You might still escape, but can you bear to see your friends here in Xiliang City die from the plague?"

Luo Qingcheng spoke now with full confidence.

"What if I refuse?"

Ye Qingran replied calmly.

Luo Qingcheng frowned, "Ye Qingran, are you abandoning them?"

Luo Qingcheng pointed at the crowd of Xiliang City, and seeing Ye Qingran silent, she shouted, "Everyone, listen! Ye Qingran, for her selfish desire, disregards your lives. Such a person is intolerable to heaven and earth!"

Luo Qingcheng's provocation instantly swayed those whose hearts were already weak.

"Ye Qingran, we beg you, release the Holy Maiden!"

"The Holy Maiden bears no grudge against you. Why treat her so? Even if you have personal grievances, can't you, for our sake, let bygones be bygones?"

"What wrong did the Holy Maiden do? Those are past matters; why still cling to them? Is it any fun?"

The ugly side of human nature often shows itself vividly when faced with life‑and‑death trials.

Some like to stand on a moral high ground and point fingers, while others will unconditionally believe Ye Qingran.

"Sister Ran, don't listen to them, I believe you!"

"Instructor Ye, ignore these people!"

Xia Zhimeng, Qin Feixue and others gave Ye Qingran a friendly smile, supporting her with concrete actions.

The Nose-ring Holy Son sneered, "Ye Qingran, you have little time left. In at most a quarter hour the plague will reach here, and Xiliang City will fall, becoming a human Purgatory! If you repent now, you can still save some people from fire and water."

Luo Qingcheng, with a look of certainty, asked, "Ye Qingran, what have you decided?"

Ye Qingran looked at Luo Qingcheng and said, "I have always thought it through clearly, and that is… no matter what you say, I will never release you."

Luo Qingcheng, angry, ground her teeth, "If you have the ability, then don't regret!"

"Don't worry, I have few virtues, but one is decent: I never regret any decision I make."

Ye Qingran smiled confidently, leaving Luo Qingcheng speechless.

The green cloud drew nearer, even nearer!

Obviously, the green cloud had now entered Xiliang City.

At this moment, many of Xiliang City's citizens had already been infected, sinking deep into suffering.

"Ye Qingran, why are you so selfish?!"

"Release the Holy Maiden quickly!"

"If I get infected, I will curse you to a miserable death!"

Listening to the insults against Ye Qingran, the people of Wuji Hall seemed especially schadenfreude.

The Nose-ring Holy One scoffed, "Ye Qingran, looking at your confidence, you don't actually think that being a Pill Emperor guarantees you can eradicate the plague, do you?"

"You're right, I indeed thought so."

Ye Qingran said lightly.

What?

Ye Qingran said she could eradicate the plague?

The eyes of Xiliang City's crowd showed hope, while after a brief silence the people of Wuji Hall burst into simultaneous laughter.

The Nose-ring Holy Son mocked, "Ye Qingran, although you are a Pill Emperor, this plague even came from Tongtian Road. The Holy Lord said that on the Xuanmiao Continent, only the Medicine King Gu Gu Master might devise a solution; no one else, even the sect leader of the Purple Extreme Pill Sect, can."

Ye Qingran lifted an eyebrow, "Your Holy Lord may be a scumbag, but his insight on this matter is decent."

Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but retort, "Ye Qingran, you can't truly think that being a Pill Emperor gives you the same power as the Medicine King Gu Gu Master, can you?"

Yaowang Valley is a very mysterious force, even when placed in the Xi Ji Shengyu it remains shrouded in mystery.

The world assumes the Purple Extreme Pill Sect is the orthodox of Xuanmiao Continent's pill alchemy, yet they do not know that Yaowang Valley is the pinnacle of pill alchemy on the Xuanmiao Continent!

Even the Lan family on Tongtian Road thinks so.

Hearing the words of those from Wuji Hall, Han Xing Leng Yue, Bai Bing and others exchanged a smile.

"Xing Er, Yue Er, Bing Er, what are you laughing at?"

Xia Zhimeng asked, puzzled.

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

Hong Wu looked puzzled.

Feng Yi and Xuan Yuan Luo are Fu Er and Fu San, and all of them looked puzzled.

Fu Hanxiu's eyes flashed, having guessed something.

Han Xing, Leng Yue, and Bai Bing shook their heads, "Actually, it's nothing."

They only then realized the Miss's identity as the Medicine King Gu Gu Master.
