Chapter 584

(Unedited)

…

On the outskirts of the Yun Ji City, there are many villages. The closes one is the Yun Long Village, which is around 2 hours away using a carriage, and next to it is the Huaxing Village which is 5 hours away from Yun Long Village.

A week ago, there was a piece of news that Huaxing Village has been suffering from an unknown disease that has already affected almost half of its population. The doctor from the village has also fallen victim to the disease. No one knew how it spreads, but those who are able to survive didn't dare to go out of their own house.

It has been many days since then and those officials who went to the village to investigate also fell ill. No one knew what the cause is and the nearest villages have already cautioned and closed their borders. No one dares to accept anyone coming from Huaxing village for fear that the disease would spread.

With the fast reaction from Yun Ji city, the village has been enclosed by the soldiers with a command to kill on site.

Shin Jiao was not aware of this because he was too busy with the infirmary and also in most of his free time he would teach those assistants a thing or two along with the other doctors.

Upon learning the flight of Huaxing Village and the dark Qi in the man's body, Shin Jiao decided to visit the village with a guise of going on a mission to know the true cause of the disease plaguing the villagers of Huaxing.

While walking towards the gate of the city, Shin Jiao and Daixa Fengdai saw two people. Shin Jiao knew who those two are. It was Bailao Di and his friend whom Shin Jiao considered having a mysterious background, Jie Ming.

The two are excellent doctors in their own rights.

"Hey, what are you two doing in here?" Shin Jiao asked as he looks at the two who seem to be waiting for someone.

"We are here to wait for you." Bailao Di said with a grin.

"What? Do you two know that the place I'm going to is very dangerous, right?"

"Yeah, we know. But you've already taught us a lot of things. We can't just waste our talent in the infirmary watching the old doctors do their things. We wanted a hands-on experience too." Jie Ming replied.

"Really?"

"Well, I now knew why I lost to you… I lack experience. And now I wanted to have more hands-on experience. And this is my chance." Bailao Di said as he patted Shin Jiao's shoulder.

Suddenly the two seem to have noticed the beauty behind Shin Jiao and their expression change.

"Damn… I knew that he didn't change. He is the same as what the rumor says he is…" Jie Ming muttered upon seeing the beautiful Daixa Fengdi standing behind Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao rolled his eyes in resignation to the two. He knew that he could not talk them out of what they have already decided to do. Hence he would just treat these two if ever they got infected with whatever it is that's plaguing the village.

"This is my good friend, Daixa Fengdi. She is a disciple of the Mountain Beast sect…" Shin Jiao introduces.

When the two doctors heard him, their mouths were all agape in disbelief. Who would have thought that the woman is a martial cultivator? In four empires in the land, martial cultivators hold a high position in the hearts of the people. They are respected for their strength and the protection of the people. Plus, it is said that martial cultivators lived longer than normal humans.

So with this reasoning, the two are truly astounded that the young doctor Qiong knew a beautiful fairy.

"Beautiful fairy, I am Doctor Bailao Di. I am a good friend of Doctor Ji." Bailao Di suddenly said in a refined gentlemanly manner.

"I am Doctor Jie Meng from the capital. I am honored to meet you…" Jie Meng followed suit.

Seeing the two young men fawning at her, Daixa Fendi could not help but blush. Who would have thought that the two young men would show such courtesy and welcome her like she is a deity from the heavens?

In the sect, many sect members are afraid of her because of her strength and status. However, in this place, it seems that everything is different.

As someone who seldom goes out of her sect, Daixa Fengdi's E.Q. is a bit low; hence she is easily swayed by the words and actions of the two young men.

"Sigh… Alright, alright, you two can come with us. Let's go then…" Shin Jiao just heaves a sigh and gestured for the man to lead the way.

They rented a large carriage with two Neighs to pull.

Along the road, the two men seem to have eaten some energy pill as they talked non-stop trying to impress the young woman. This only made Shin Jiao shook his head and would casually laugh while listening to their antics.

Shin Jiao is seated outside of the carriage beside the man who also became their coachman. Shin Jiao has already done something to the dark Qi inside the man's body and his internal wounds are slowly healing using some of the medicine that Doctor Di was able to concoct with Shin Jiao's help.

However, Shin Jiao suspected that the man is not telling the truth and there is something wrong with the guy. He didn't know why he distrusts the man, but it's his gut feeling that's telling him.

And so on the way, he began talking to the man who seems to not talk that much. After 2 hours of travel, the group decided to rest for a while in the village and after 30 minutes continue traveling.

It's almost around 6 in the afternoon when the group finally arrives in the Huaxing village after more than 7 hours of traveling.

However, what they saw surprise them as they seem to not have seen any soldiers would stop their carriage and inspect it. Well, the reason for this is that the coachman told them that this is the shortcut he took to escape the soldiers.

They have arrived in a mountainous forest with thick trees and shrubberies.

"We have to get off the carriage and take the rest of the path on foot. This is the only way to bypass the guards." The man explained.

The group nodded their heads and began walking. After 30 minutes of traveling through a maze-like forest, the group then arrives in a small tunnel.

"This is the secret path." The man said and continues walking.

Shin Jiao just smirked and shook his head.

When the four enter the tunnel, something happened.

From behind them a group of men wearing black clothes suddenly appears.

"What… what is this? What is the meaning of this?" suddenly Bailao Di shouted upon seeing the men in black.

"Hehe… Don't be afraid… we are not here to hurt you." One of the men said with a stern voice.

"Big Brother, this is the famous doctor Ji from the city. I have led them here. And those two young fellows are also doctors. However, this young maiden is…" the man said while his gaze on Daixa Fengdi suddenly changes.

The expression of the man suddenly turned different. This only means that the person is a skilled thief and scammer.

"What audacity, do you people know who we are?" shouted Bailao Di.

"Relax, let them speak…" Daixa Fengdi said as she stood confidently while folding her arms showing her intimidating aura.

However, what she did result in an opposite reaction. Instead of the people around her being intimidated, they all drool at what they are seeing in front of them.

When she folded her arms, her two peaks that are already proud suddenly turn loftier. And though her cultivator's robe is decent, it didn't hide charms and attractiveness.

Seeing the reaction of the men behind her, she was a bit dumbfounded.

Shin Jiao on the side, wanted to laugh. He is already a bit immune to such things, though he could not deny that her posture is truly tantalizing and attractive. As she stood there with her arms crossed, she looks like some heroine ready to face the bad guys.

"Gulp… Brothers… this woman is mine…" suddenly one of them said with a greedy and lascivious look on his face.

"Hey, I am the eldest here. I would say that she is mine."

The group of black cloth men suddenly argued with each other.

"Shut up! All of you… What are you talking about? These people are our guests. They are here to treat the whole village." Suddenly a deep and cold voice interrupted them.

Then a huge burly man donned in a beast's fur suddenly walked towards the group coming from the inner part of the tunnel.

The man then faced Shin Jiao's group and cupped his hands.

"I am the leader of the Gray Mane gang, Liaoxi Hun… I am sorry for the ill-treatment of my men towards the esteemed doctors." The man introduced himself.

He suddenly hit the back of the head of the man that led the group in this place.

"Scoundrel… what are you staring at?" Liaoxi Hun shouted as he saw the lecherous gaze of the man.

"My apologies, my lady." Liaoxi Hun added as he bowed towards Daixa Fengdi.

"Hmm… it seems that leader Liaoxi is also sick." Suddenly Shin Jiao said as he observes the burly man.

"Haha… Doctor Ji is truly a great doctor. We just wanted to implore great doctor Ji to treat me and my people. We will pay you no matter how much you ask." He said with a lowered tone.

"Yeah, right… Hehe… after you treated my whole gang and our village. You will not be able to leave here alive anymore… Hehe…" the man thought but didn't show it on his face.
