The swordsman had previously noticed the stark differences in the deaths of the two brothers, Mo Hu and his brother.
The old man with the hooked nose was beheaded with a single sword strike, and he also had many sword wounds on his body.
It's quite obvious that he was killed by the old doctor.
Given the terrifying strength the old doctor had previously displayed, it wasn't too surprising that he was able to kill the hook-nosed old man.
What truly shocked the swordsman was the way Mo Hu died.
Except for his head, his entire body was twisted and deformed like a lump of mud, a truly pitiful sight.
This is not the old doctor's style, so there is only one possibility: Mo Hu died at Lu Qing's hands.
After all, only Lu Qing and his apprentice were there.
But this made the man with the sword feel somewhat incredulous, so he wanted to confirm it for himself.
"Yes, didn't I tell you, senior, that Mo Hu can't threaten me?" Lu Qing nodded.
"It was really the young master who killed him..."
The man with the sword was deeply shocked.
It should be noted that Mo Hu had lost an arm and had been wounded by the old doctor.
But he was still a genuine beginner in the Innate Realm, yet he was killed by a mere youth.
Moreover, Lu Qing is skilled in archery, so why does Mo Hu's death look like he was beaten to death with brute force?
The man with the sword was shocked, and many questions arose in his mind.
However, Lu Qing did not give him another chance to ask in detail, because he sensed that Ma Gu and the others had already entered Liuyun Town.
"What exactly happened here?"
At the entrance to Liuyun Town, Ma Gu and his companions drove their carriage along the street, looking around at the scene with a sense of dread.
The human-shaped bloodstains and the clothes on them looked extremely eerie, sending chills down their spines.
No wonder Lu Qing didn't let them come along earlier. Judging from this strange situation, something terrible must have happened in the town.
Those who are plump and middle-aged, in particular, are extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, Dr. Chen and his group insisted on not entering the town; otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the bloodstains on the street belonged to them or their apprentices.
Thinking of this, the chubby middle-aged man suddenly paused for a moment.
Did Dr. Chen and his colleagues foresee this scene all along?
"Master, which way do we go?"
Looking at the quiet street, Wei Zian felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but ask.
"Wait a moment. Since the young master and master are in town, they must have already sensed our arrival."
As soon as Ma Gu finished speaking, a figure swept in from the front and appeared in front of the carriage in the next moment.
"Young Master!"
Magule stopped the carriage and exclaimed in surprise.
The others also showed joy.
There was nothing they could do; the current state of Liuyun Town was too eerie, making them all feel uneasy.
“You’ve arrived. Come with me. Master is over there,” Lu Qing said.
“Young master, these are...” Magu pointed to the human-shaped bloodstains on the street.
"Those were just ordinary townspeople who were refined by the Flowing Cloud Sect using evil methods. Don't worry about them; they pose no threat to you," Lu Qing said calmly.
However, the content of the words startled and terrified Magu and his companions.
The Liuyun Sect is so ruthless that they don't even spare the townspeople at the foot of their own mountain.
The carriage followed Lu Qing, heading towards the restaurant.
As the group passed by, they saw the corpses of the two old men with hooked noses and the street that was in such a terrible state, which made them even more terrified.
Although the two corpses were dead, they still exuded a terrifying aura.
It is easy to imagine that he must have been an extraordinary martial arts master in his lifetime.
Even such a powerful figure is dead, not to mention the streets that are almost completely destroyed.
No one could imagine what kind of battles had taken place here before.
"Please wait a moment."
Upon seeing the corpse of the figure in the black robe again, Lu Qing suddenly remembered something. He asked Ma Gu to stop the carriage, then leaped over a few times and arrived behind a house. After searching for a while, he finally found what he was looking for.
It was the black staff that the figure in the black robe had knocked out of his hand and sent flying.
Let's go.
Carrying the long stick back to the carriage, Lu Qing casually placed it on the carriage and said indifferently.
The others didn't dare to ask any questions and could only follow behind him.
Before long, they finally arrived at the restaurant.
Hearing the noise from the carriage, the man with the sword came out.
“This is Senior Yan, the Supreme Elder of the Silver Moon Sect,” Lu Qing said.
"Greetings, Senior Yan."
Magu and the others greeted him.
The chubby middle-aged master and his disciples were especially shaken.
They were all from Yunzhou, so they were naturally quite familiar with the major powers in Yunzhou.
The Supreme Elder of the Silver Moon Sect, one of the three major sects, is he not a Xiantian Realm expert?
“Since you are a friend of the young master, there’s no need for such formalities,” the swordsman quickly said.
If it were anyone else, the man with the sword might have tried to maintain the air of a senior expert.
But these people clearly had a close relationship with Lu Qing, so he dared not put on airs.
The sword-wielding man now held Lu Qing and the old doctor, two mysterious experts, in considerable awe.
The chubby middle-aged man was somewhat prepared to see the Supreme Elder of the Lianyinyue Sect being so polite to Lu Qing, but Wenbin and his companions were quite surprised.
However, no one cared about their emotions at this moment.
Lu Qing asked, "Senior Yan, has my master finished treating all of you seniors?"
"It's almost done. When I came out, there were still a few people whose pulses hadn't been taken."
"I'll go in and take a look." Lu Qing nodded, then said to Ma Gu, "Master Ma, you all wait outside for a moment."
There were many corpses in the restaurant, and their deaths were horribly gruesome.
Although Xiaoyan had seen quite a few dead people recently, Lu Qing still didn't want her to see such a tragic scene.
When Lu Qing entered the restaurant, he saw the old doctor taking the pulse of the last person.
"Master, Master Ma and the others have already come in," Lu Qing said softly.
"Hmm." The old doctor responded, withdrew his hand, and said to the tall and thin martial artist in front of him, "Your symptoms are similar to those of the heroes before you. You are deficient in both qi and blood, and your foundation is damaged. Fortunately, your life is not in danger."
As long as you rest and recuperate properly in the days to come, and take good care of yourself, you'll be fine.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Upon hearing this, the tall, thin martial artist was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
What he feared most was what kind of hidden dangers might remain in his body after being affected by the evil magic of that hook-nosed old demon.
Hearing that there was no serious problem, I breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Gentlemen."
After diagnosing everyone, the senior doctor stood up.
"I have examined your pulses. Fortunately, your martial arts skills are profound and your foundation is solid. Although your qi and blood are depleted, your lives have not been endangered."
I'll prescribe two medicines for you later to strengthen your constitution and nourish your vital energy. Just go back, get the medicine according to the prescription, and decoct and take it in time.
With one or two months of rest and recuperation, they should be able to fully recover.
"Thank you very much, senior!"
All the martial artists from Yunzhou bowed and thanked the old doctor.
The old doctor nodded and then said to Lu Qing, "Qing, prepare pen and ink for me. I'll write two prescriptions."
"Yes, Master."
Lu Qing quickly prepared the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the old doctor swiftly wrote out two prescriptions, which were then posted on the wall.
"These two prescriptions are for strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing the vital energy. Please write them down or copy them down and take them back with you. Just get the medicine according to the prescriptions."
The martial artists from Yunzhou quickly squeezed forward and began to memorize the prescription.
Taking this opportunity, the man with the sword stepped forward: "Senior, the Flowing Cloud Sect has been causing havoc in Yunzhou for a long time. This time, they have even set up an evil formation to harm living beings."
Although the Mo Hu brothers are dead, the Flowing Cloud Sect still wields considerable power. What are your plans in dealing with them?
"this......"
The old doctor hesitated.
He's really not good at this kind of thing and doesn't know what to do.
Moreover, after the deaths of the two culprits, the hook-nosed old man and the figure in the black robe, his anger had actually subsided considerably, and he no longer wished to commit mass killings.
He couldn't help but look at Lu Qing: "Qing, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Qing thought for a moment and said seriously, "Master, you have witnessed the actions and style of the Liuyun Sect along the way with me."
The existence of such a brutal sect is nothing short of a scourge to the people of Yunzhou.
We cannot save the world, but we can remove a malignant tumor and alleviate the suffering of the people of Yunzhou.
I know you, Master, are kind-hearted and unwilling to commit unnecessary killings. Then let me go and eliminate the Flowing Cloud Sect.
The old doctor remained silent for a while.
He recalled the various actions of the Flowing Cloud Sect that he had witnessed along the way.
He finally nodded: "You're right, the Flowing Cloud Sect should indeed not be allowed to remain."
However, saying you don't want to commit unnecessary killings is just mocking your teacher, Ah Qing. I, this old man, am not that weak.
I understand the principle that eliminating one evil is equivalent to saving ten virtues; I will go up the mountain with you.
"Senior, are you willing to eliminate the Flowing Cloud Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the man with the sword was overjoyed.
Even if the old doctor spared the Liuyun Sect, he would never let the Liuyun Sect go.
Upon returning, we must mobilize manpower to completely destroy it.
However, ever since he witnessed the bizarre methods of the Mo Hu brothers, he still harbors great fear of the Liuyun Sect.
Even in a small town at the foot of a mountain, the Mo Hu brothers were able to set up such an evil formation.
Who knows what other tricks those two have up their sleeves at their main base inside the mountain gate?
If there were even more terrifying formations, he might not be able to defeat them.
But with the help of the old doctor and Lu Qing, things would be different.
This master and disciple pair is mysterious and powerful.
The old doctor, of course, needs no further explanation; the terrifying sword aura still sends shivers down the spine of the man wielding the sword.
Lu Qing is like a mystery; not only is his strength unfathomable, but he also seems to have a deep understanding of formations.
With their help, destroying the Flowing Cloud Sect would be a sure thing.
"Senior, time is of the essence, we probably need to act soon."
Mo Zhen, the sect leader of Liuyun Sect, who had escaped from the town earlier, has probably already fled back to the mountain.
This person's cultivation is quite profound; he is only a hair's breadth away from entering the Innate Realm.
If we allow him to escape with the elite of the Flowing Cloud Sect, even if we destroy the Flowing Cloud Sect's mountain gate, it will probably be of no use.
If they simply find another place to hide, they can still wreak havoc on the surrounding areas when they rise again in the future.
"Eradicating evil must be thorough, so I, as a junior, believe we must act swiftly."
The man with the sword said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the old doctor knew that there was no time to lose.
He immediately said, "In that case, let's set off now."
Without hesitation, the three martial arts masters made their decision, gave a few instructions to the others, and then left Liuyun Town, heading towards the towering Liuyun Mountain not far away.
As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," Liuyun Mountain may seem close to Liuyun Town, but in reality, it's about seven or eight miles from the town to the foot of the mountain.
However, with the speed of the three experts, this distance was naturally no problem, and the three of them soon arrived at the gate of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
"Sure enough, the Flowing Cloud Sect has also set up an array."
As soon as he approached the gate of the Flowing Cloud Sect, the man with the sword revealed a solemn expression.
Within the Flowing Cloud Sect, a faint gray light appeared, and an evil aura permeated the air.
A light screen enveloped it, its appearance exactly the same as the array light screen in Liuyun Town.
"It's alright. Without a master of the Innate Realm to preside over it, the power of this formation is greatly reduced. Let me break it."
After sensing it for a moment, Lu Qing immediately discovered that the power of the Blood and Flesh Refining Soul Array's array light [N O V E L I G H T] screen was far inferior to that of the one in Liuyun Town.
"Thank you for your trouble, young man."
Lu Qing pulled a handful of long arrows from the quiver on his back and began firing them one by one.
As expected, without the guidance of a master at the Innate Realm, the array's light barrier was completely unable to block his arrows.
Accompanied by faint popping sounds, the gray light screen in front of the three people soon began to shake and slowly disappeared.
"Young master's archery skills are truly divine, and can be described as the best I have ever seen in my life."
Even though it was the second time the man with the sword had seen Lu Qing's method of breaking the formation, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's just a trivial skill, Senior Yan is too kind," Lu Qing chuckled.
As soon as the gray light curtain completely disappeared, a strong stench of blood wafted over, and at the same time, they sensed an extremely powerful and malevolent aura, causing the three of them to change their expressions.
"What happened?"
The three exchanged a glance and immediately headed towards the majestic mountain gate of the Flowing Cloud Sect.
When we reached the top of the mountain gate and looked down, we were immediately stunned.
Behind the majestic gate of the Liuyun Sect was a spacious and huge training ground. However, at this moment, the entire training ground was overturned and littered with numerous corpses dressed in Liuyun Sect attire. At a glance, there were probably hundreds of them.
Most importantly, these corpses were still holding weapons in their hands, had numerous wounds on their bodies, and their faces were filled with madness, making them look like they had killed each other.
But why do the disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect kill each other?
"Master, Senior Yan, look."
Just as the sword-wielding man was puzzled, Lu Qing pointed ahead and said.
Following his finger, the sword-wielding man and the old doctor looked ahead, and their expressions changed slightly.
In the center of the training ground, a blood cocoon, taller than a person, stood there.
Blood was continuously drawn from underground and injected into the blood cocoon.
The powerful, evil aura they sensed emanated from the blood cocoon.
What is that?
The man with the sword had never seen such a bizarre scene before and couldn't help but gasp in shock.
