Facing Qin Yi’s questioning, Mu Yueyao pouted, "I went out on official business, not just for fun!"
Qin Yi found it amusing, "What official business? Tell me more about it."
Mu Yueyao pulled up a chair to sit down, saying, "You all know about Mr. Chen’s dragon-slaying event in Linglan County, right?"
"Of course we know, it’s no secret." Xu Man chimed in, "Back then, over seventy people went missing in Linglan County, actually hidden by the Demon Clan at the bottom of Canglan River. In the end, Mr. Chen rescued all of them and beheaded the Blood Dragon Shapeshifter by the riverbank..."
"But that was a while ago, what does it have to do with us now?"
"Don’t rush, let me finish."
Mu Yueyao continued, "This morning, while wandering around the street, I found the medical center overcrowded with all the people Mr. Chen had saved before. Each one was emaciated, as if their life force was drained..."
"Then I used the Spirit Solving Plate to take a reading..."
She took out a jade plate from her chest, with carvings of the twenty-four mountains, where Spirit Light was continually moving.
Qin Yi glanced at it, his expression immediately turning serious.
"Qian Jia Kan Gui Shen Chen Mountain, White Tiger revolves between Ding and Wei... Yellow Spring Evil, greatly ominous!"
Although the Kuixing Sect is a martial cultivator sect, they also dabble in treasure-seeking geomancy. Such a perilous divination indicates that this matter is anything but simple!
"Let’s go, let’s have a look."
Qin Yi and the others got up and left the tavern.
Under the guidance of Mu Yueyao, they arrived at a medical center in the city.
Inside, it was packed with patients, men and women, young and old, each one skinny to the bone, their cheeks sunken, many elderly barely alive.
After inquiring around, they found that indeed these were survivors once captured by the Demon Clan, previously all safe and sound, but suddenly started deteriorating since a few days ago, leaving the doctors powerless.
"Could it really be related to the Demon Clan?"
Qin Yi frowned, contemplating for a moment, and said, "This matter is no small thing and cannot be taken lightly. We should report it to Mr. Chen immediately!"
"Yueyao, come with me!"
"The rest of you stay here, try to maintain their lives with Alchemy Pills until Mr. Chen arrives to make a decision!"
"Alright."
Xu Man and others took out Pei Yuan Pills, going to communicate with the doctors.
Qin Yi then took Mu Yueyao out of the medical center, rode out of the city, heading in the direction of Tiandu City.

Sky Scale Guard, Fire Department Headquarters.
Chen Mo sat on the public chair, playing with a green square seal in his hand.
Injecting Dao Power into it, the square seal transformed into an ancient bronze scroll, the characters on it jumping, revealing a complete martial art technique.
Ten Thousand Tribulations Saber, Earth-grade Middle-class.
It took three days and consumed twenty-five pieces of Spiritual Marrow to finally deduce the Dark-grade Upper-class "Asura Heaven-Sorrowing Saber" to Earth-grade Middle-class, greatly enhancing its power.
But it ended there.
Chen Mo had spent many more Spiritual Marrows trying to deduce it further, to no avail.
