Chapter 500: Like a ghost town
Lu Feng finally understood why Ye Fan did not go to the Jianchi Secret Realm with those sectarian forces.
It must be because he saw the tragic situation in Tianyuan City and couldn't bear the scene of hell on earth to expand.
"It is indeed Teacher Xiaoye," Tianwu said happily: "He is the pride of Dongyuan Spiritual Prison."
"Let him tell you the specific situation," Tianwu took Luo Feng to the back hall of the prison house.
Walking along the corridor of the prison palace, Lu Feng could hear miserable roars of pain coming from the guest rooms on both sides from time to time.
Subconsciously looking into the guest room, his expression froze.
There were wooden boards across the room, and a grinning man was tied to each board.
Tianwu said in a deep voice: "They were all scratched and injured by people who were poisoned by the Xingsha Corpse Poison. The wounds have become infected, and the severe cases have fallen into madness."
"There are too many injured people like this, and there is almost no place to put them in the city."
"There are currently seventy or eighty injured in the prison alone."
Arriving at the back hall, Lu Feng was surprised when he saw Tianwu leading him straight to the living room, "Old Ye is doing an autopsy?"
Tiannu sighed and replied: "He checked and treated the injuries there. When he encountered the injured who really couldn't hold on, he just sealed them there."
"In just a few days, the death toll has exceeded a hundred and the injured nearly a thousand. Ye Fan has not stopped for a moment in the past few days."
"This is the data that has been calculated at the level of the spiritual prison. I don't know how many injured people are hiding in the city, and they have not been controlled yet."
Lu Feng's face turned pale when he heard Tianwu's words, he clenched his fists tightly and his eyes were filled with rage.
When he walked into the room and looked at the situation in the room, a cold aura burst out from Lu Feng uncontrollably.
Inside the room, there were seven injured people tied up on the east and west walls. Two of them were very familiar to Lu Feng. They were his subordinates...
Shan Wu and Zheng Ba!
There was a corpse lying on the central platform. Ye Fan stood on one side and was concentrating on inspecting it, while Xing Qi stood on the other side and started to attack.
At the door of the room, Wang Wei sat on a stool with a gloomy face, looking worriedly at his second and third brothers who were tied to the wall and were unconscious.
Yesterday, the two of them were overworked due to cooperating with the spirit prison to control the injured for a long time. They were accidentally injured by the injured and were indirectly infected with the Xingsha corpse poison.
Seeing the appearance of Lu Feng and Tianwu, Wang Wei stood up immediately with a touch of surprise on his face.
When everyone thought that the prison officer defected and did not want to take responsibility, Wang Wei always believed that Lu Feng would not leave them alone.
Finally, the latter did not disappoint him!
Lu Feng interrupted Wang Wei's salute, patted his shoulder and approached the platform together, watching Ye Fan's inspection quietly.
"It still doesn't work," Ye Fan shook his head, with a trace of disappointment on his face.
Faced with the increasing number of injured, he had no choice but to use people to test medicine, but failed repeatedly.
Lu Feng's face was solemn and he asked, "How could the Xingsha Corpse Poison spread so fast?"
Before he left, he had arranged for the people in Ye Yutang and the prison to pay more attention. Logically speaking, this should not be the case.
Xing Qi glanced at Ye Fan, who was still in deep thought, and responded to Lu Feng's words for him, "Sir, this Xingsha corpse poison is spreading like this mainly because Chai and Zhao are behind it."
"The matter starts when you return to the Spiritual Prison to prepare for the battle. Not long after you left that day, the prison office received a report that a woman died in the suburbs. The cause of death was found to be contaminated with the residue of Xingsha corpse poison."
"After examination, my subordinates found that the woman was infected with a very small amount of Xingsha corpse poison. Her symptoms are far less than those of the injured people now, and there will be no phenomenon of hurting or spreading after death."
"My subordinates suspect...that someone extracted a trace amount of Xingsha corpse poison from Zhang A Niu's corpse."
When Lu Feng heard Xing Qi's words, his first reaction was to think of Zhou Zhi. When he heard the strange words the other party said during the division battle, he became even more convinced that it was him.
"How many dead people are there in total like this?" Lu Feng asked.
Xing Qi couldn't help feeling frightened when he heard Lu Feng's calm and cold words. He felt the great anger suppressed in Lu Feng's heart.
"My lord, there are a total of thirteen dead people." Xing said timidly.
Lu Feng laughed coldly, his breath seemed extremely cold, "Keep talking."
Xing Qi immediately stated: "After these dozen corpses were brought to the prison, Zhuo Jinxiong, the son of the city lord, took a look. Looking back now, his expression at that time seemed extremely strange..."
"Surprise with a hint of fear..."
"The next day, Chai and Zhao started to carry out many charitable acts on the main streets, distributing firewood, rice, oil, salt, cakes, porridge, etc..."
"Almost half of the people in Tianyuan City ran to receive and eat it."
"In less than a day, the real Xingsha corpse poison spread. Those who had received and eaten firewood and food given by Zhao Erfu fell ill one after another that night, and went around hurting people like crazy..."
"The injured person also fell into madness within a moment."
"One pass to ten, ten to a hundred..."
"In just one night, half of Tianyuan City fell."
"The first thirteen dead were like a fuse, completely igniting the crisis in Tianyuan City."
"Today in Tianyuan City, every family is in panic and is staying behind closed doors. It is unknown how many normal people there are and how many hidden injured people there are."
"The streets and alleys are basically deserted."
"Like a ghost town."
Lu Feng listened to Xing Qi's explanation of the causes and consequences, and combined with what he knew, he suddenly understood everything.
"No wonder the vampires would desperately break through the secret realm of Jianchi in advance instead of quietly digging out bit by bit."
"It turns out that I was hit by mistake... and my plan was disrupted!"
Lu Feng speculated that the Blood Clan originally planned to detonate the Star Evil Corpse Poison in Tianyuan City at a key point in the exploration of the secret realm, in order to contain the power of the Spiritual Prison.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Aniu's death led to the leakage of Xingsha's corpse poison, which was indirectly used by Zhou Zhi...
They poisoned Tianyuan City in advance and took the opportunity to take revenge.
The vampires must be afraid that this move will cause the spirit prison to notice, so they have no choice but to make plans in advance to spread the real star evil corpse poison...
Lu Feng guessed the reasons and further confirmed: "Is the Star Evil corpse poison that those people are now poisoned with...not as strong as the one in Zhang A Niu's body?"
Xing Qi was startled, nodded and asked, "How do you know, sir?"
Lu Feng understood that spreading the Star Evil Corpse Poison so widely would definitely dilute its toxicity...
Not only that, but there is also a more critical reason. I am afraid that because the plan was disrupted, the Star Evil Corpse Poison that the vampires can produce in a hurry is limited.
We have no choice but to dilute the toxicity.
"Have you found the place where Star Evil Corpse Poison is refined?" Lu Feng asked, but he vaguely guessed the location in his mind. There were only two places, the City Lord's Mansion that no one dared to search, and the Zhou Mansion that was ignored by others.
Xing Qi responded: "It has been found that the poison refining place is located at the old Zhou Mansion site that has been moved outside Tianyuan City. There is a huge medicine refining secret room underneath."
Lu Feng nodded in anticipation. The move of the Zhou Mansion had been a pretense to deceive the public from beginning to end.
Now that I think about it, it seems that Zhang Aniu's itinerary on the day of the accident was not far from Zhou's mansion...
Perhaps he came into contact with the leaked Xingsha corpse poison by accident.
Everything is clear!
Lu Feng knew that Jinxuan was planning all of this in the dark, and he couldn't help but be secretly worried about his government and his plans.
"Have you caught anyone from the vampire clan?" Lu Feng asked coldly.
Wang Wei handed over a prison book and opened it as he said: "They are all from our human race and have all confessed their crimes. Those from the blood race either escaped or committed suicide. No one was left alive. Among the people captured, , headed by Zhuo Fuan and Zhuo Jinxiong, the sons of the city lord, combined with the children of Chai, Zhao, and Zhou Zhoufu, to spread the Xingsha Corpse Poison everywhere."
"Where are they now?" Lu Feng flipped through the prison book carefully.
"Your Excellency, are you going to interrogate us?" Wang Wei glanced at Tianwu beside him and said, "They have already been taken away by the people from the main prison."
well……
At this moment, Ye Fan let out a long and cold lament, "It still failed, without the last poisonous temptation..."
As he spoke, seeing Lu Feng returning safely, a look of relief appeared on his face.
Xing Qi explained to Lu Feng: "Brother Ye, he has almost developed the antidote to the Xingsha Corpse Poison in the past two days. What is missing is the last poison. As long as he finds it, he can defeat such a unique poison."
There was a hint of admiration in his words.
Lu Feng couldn't help but feel happy. If he could refine the antidote, he would be able to resolve the disaster for a city.
When Ye Fan heard Xing Qi's words, he laughed at himself: "The slightest difference is a thousand miles away. If we can't find the last poisonous lead, all the previous preparations will be in vain..."
"Seal him and bury him too," Ye Fan pointed at the corpse on the casket and nodded to Wang Wei.
Wang Wei stepped forward, expertly crushed the corpse's limbs and bones, and bound it with hemp rope soaked in concoction to prevent it from being affected by the corpse poison and 'transforming' into a corpse and hurting others.
Wang Wei has repeated this action countless times in the past few days. Although he is deeply saddened by these corpses, the expression on his face has become somewhat numb.
Ye Fan cleaned his dirty hands and asked Lu Feng: "Old Lu, what's going on over there in the Dongyuan Mountains? Did those sect disciples successfully stop the vampires?"
Lu Feng sighed, "Those sect disciples were almost destroyed, but the Po Guan Jue was still taken away by the Blood Clan."
Ye Fan glanced around Lu Feng, lingered on his abdomen for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is your soul disk...recovered?"
Lu Feng couldn't help but admire Ye Fan's perception. He didn't emit aura at the moment, and even so, he didn't escape Ye Fan's eyes.
"It happened by chance, and luckily it was repaired," Lu Feng smiled and took out the two treasures he got from the secret realm.
"I can't help you with medicine. I hope these two things can be helpful to you," Lu Feng handed the two volumes of classics in his hand to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan took it in surprise and couldn't help but feel happy after seeing it clearly.
"Qingdingmen Poison Scripture?!"
"Thirteen Lingxu Needles?"
"Great," Ye Fan immediately started reading the Poison Sutra, "I am worried about the lack of books on Poison Sutra right now!"
Lu Feng wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Ye Fan was already concentrating, he didn't bother him anymore.
Outside the prison, several thick auras gradually approached.
Lu Feng and Tianwu's expressions changed at the same time.
"The people from the main prison are here!"
Lu Feng gave Wang Wei a simple explanation and went out alone.
