It has been a few days since the letters sent to Yongjing Temple and Yayun Gate. Medical doctors from all walks of life tried almost all the solutions they could think of, but they still couldn't control the spread of the epidemic. They fled to the foot of Hongmeng Mountain and inevitably began to spread on a large scale.

Because more and more people fleeing here at the foot of Hongmeng Mountain and the density is getting bigger and bigger, this provides excellent conditions for the spread of the plague. What's even more terrible is that the plague does not only bring death, but many people have mutated.

Mutations often occur late at night, and no one can tell whether those infected with the plague will die or mutate. The mutant witnesses described a pair of short and strong horns on their heads, and their hands and feet also had webbeds suitable for paddling, and their bodies were covered with blue and green scales, reflecting ripples like water waves under the moonlight.

If these mutated people are not blocked or threatened, they will rarely attack and hurt others, but will jump into the Guizhou River and swim upstream, as if something is calling them.

The Xiye Sword Sect was shocked when they received this news and decided not to passively wait for the arrival of Yongjing Temple and Yayun Sect, and to dispatch their disciples to investigate first.

"Zuo Xuan, Qiao Mo, you two will take a few disciples to the upper reaches of Qianshui to investigate. When the people from Yongjing Temple and the Yayun Sect come, they will meet with you." Huo Linghao called the two of them to his head and explained.

The two of them took the order and left. Mo Yi came to Huo Linghao, looked at the rolling Qianshui, then looked back at the refugees at the foot of the mountain, and said, "Senior brother, I always think this is too strange. The Xiye Sword Sect has been invented for thousands of years, and such a strange thing has never happened. Will it be related to the two demonic sects in Jiuli Mingzhou?"

"If it was as expected by junior brother, the Demonic Dao did such a crazy thing, my Xiye Jian Sect would definitely wipe out them at all costs!" Huo Linghao clenched his fist and made a crack.

Zuo Xuan and Qiao Mo each brought their proud disciple Fu Ying, and Xiao Tian flew to the upstream of the Qian River to fly with his sword. More and more mutants were mutant on the way, and these mutants swam tirelessly, as if what was waiting for them in front was a lifelong hope.

Zuo Xuan's eyes showed a little pity, and Qiao Mo saw it and sighed secretly that although his junior brother's cultivation level was higher than his, he was too indecisive on weekdays and less determined, which also hindered his growth to a certain extent.

"Zuo Xuan, some things are not our fault, why blame yourself like this?" Qiao Mo looked at Zuo Xuan and said unbearably.

"Senior brother, we claim to be a famous and upright school, and put the people of the world first, but now the people are in the midst of water and fire, but they are powerless, which is really heartbreaking."

Qiao Mo was not without feelings about Zuo Xuan's words, but even so, Xiye Sword Sect is not a holy realm of gods and immortals, so how can it be covered in everything? How can Zuo Xuan not understand these simple principles?

Qiao Mo simply stopped thinking about these things. After all, it is useless to say more, so he should pay attention to what is happening in front of him first.

Following the mutant people who were parading in the water, they gradually came to the confluence of the Mingcang River and the Qian River. This lake is called Qingyou Lake, which is derived from the meaning of clear and quietness.

Qingyou Lake is very vast, and it is said to be dozens of miles in a radius. From this shore, there is no way to see the other shore. The lake water is deep and cold. The continuous reed marsh near the river bank surrounded the lake dough, leaving only the entrances of the two rivers and a shared exit.

The mutant gathered from all directions of Qingyou Lake to the center of the lake. As the gathering became more and more, suddenly the lake surface was filled with huge waves. Accompanied by the sound of dragon roars and tsunami, a creature that looked like a dragon broke through the waves, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed all the mutant people in its eyes, and then dived into the bottom and disappeared.

Zuo Xuan, Qiao Mo and others in the air in the distance looked at everything that happened on the lake in a daze. The incident happened too suddenly. In the blink of an eye, the lake surface returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

"Qilong? Could it be Qilong?" Qiao Mo looked at Zixuan in disbelief.

"That's right, senior brother, this thing is a dragon. If the dragon does not want to suffer for five hundred years and turns into a dragon, it must collect enough essence. I guess this is the root of the plague." Zuo Xuan saw an introduction about the dragon in the records of ancient books, and today he recalled it very well.

Qiao Mo still couldn't understand and said, "The dragon is an ancient spiritual beast. It is very noble and will definitely not be at the cost of destroying the people. What we do now is really different. Will there be other hidden information?"

Zuo Xuan nodded acquiescently. He watched the mutant continue to swim towards the center of the lake, and shook his head constantly, sighed, "Although we have found out the source of the plague, there is still no good way. Let's go down first and look for some possible clues on the shore."

※※※※

There is a rift of a rift dozens of miles south of Qingyou Lake. The rift is deep and bottomless. On one side of the valley wall, there is a huge stone cave that is naturally formed. A huge rock stands on the side of the cave, with three words engraved on it - Gui Chongmen.

The Gui Chong Sect is a major sect that the Demon Sect has emerged in recent decades. Its territory can be said to be able to attack and retreat or defend. It is located at the junction of the three states. The underground tunnels are intertwined and can wander under the three states at will without being discovered.

The leader of Gui Chong Sect is called Gui Chanzi. He is a veritable genius who knows astronomy and geography. The sun, moon and stars are under control.

The Gui Chong Sect has no collection of practices of the sect, nor does it have passed down from generation to generation. Some are hidden weapons that were passed down by the old sect leader Gui Grandma, and later promoted by Gui Chanzi.

As the saying goes, it is easy to avoid hidden arrows but difficult to prevent them. This Gui Chongmen relies on one hand to kill all directions to achieve such achievements today.

Inside the tenth floor underground hall of Gui Chongmen

"The master of the sect, Qingyou Lake's sacred dragon was born, and he wanted to turn into a dragon. In theory, the sacred dragon is an ancient spiritual beast and will not harm civilians. Is there another reason?" The ghost military advisor Yan Fang told Gui Chanzi in his ear.

"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with my Gui Chong Sect, and I Gui Chong Sect had no intention of wading into this muddy water, but the Gui Chong Sect is very close to Qingyou Lake, so I am afraid that it was suspected by the Xiye Sword Sect." Gui Chanzi helplessly patted the armrest of the chair and sighed: "If it is really as you guessed, someone forced the dragon to capture the essence of the person, who would it be?"

This question made the two of them think in a while, and they couldn't think of which mysterious person was behind the scenes, but the blame was definitely not so easy. Gui Chanzi thought about it for a while and said to Yan Fang beside him: "You can write a letter first, and send the messenger to Xixie Valley. If this matter has nothing to do with them, we will definitely find out the person who is causing the matter with us."
