Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1791 Concerns
"Everyone's gone, how long is Mr. Bai going to block this place?" The woman snorted coldly, drawing everyone's attention. It was Huo Chun'er.

Bai Moci was stunned for a moment, "I..."

"Zixiu has wronged many people. If Mr. Bai wants to abandon all grudges because of her words, that is Mr. Bai's own business." Huo Chun'er tightened her grip on the knife. "The blood feud between the Huo family of the Sword Sect will never be forgotten."

Upon hearing this, a martial arts practitioner suggested, "Miss Huo, while Zi Xiu hasn't descended the mountain yet, why don't you..."

"When to take revenge is up to me and others." Huo Chun'er pursed her lips tightly. "At least, not today."

She never liked to claim to be a righteous person in the martial arts world, but she knew in her heart that if it weren't for Zixiu, she wouldn't be alive today, so she couldn't do anything to take advantage of others in distress.

However, if we're talking about someone like Bai Moci who single-handedly shielded Zixiu from all the martial arts world's intruders, she wouldn't be so overconfident.

Given the current situation, it would be best to take your men back first. After all, as long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback.

However, before Huo Chun'er could take a single step, she heard a sinister voice laugh and say, "Miss Huo, you may not be able to leave."

"Who goes there?" Huo Chun'er asked warily. Several figures landed at the same time, all dressed in black robes and wearing ghost masks, like silent ghosts in the dark night.

It's the ghost gate.

Everyone had their own answer, but they looked at each other in disbelief.

"Although the imperial army is large, it can't do anything to the wandering ghosts." The leader of the ghost-faced figures said contemptuously, "As for Zi Xiu, she is the sharpest sword of the Ghost Gate."

He paused deliberately, and said meaningfully, "Today, you all lose your lives here, which can be considered a worthy death."

The monk was the first to react. He cursed under his breath and stood in front of Bai Moci with his knife, saying, "What a treacherous Zi Xiu!"

"Zi Xiu didn't do it herself, which is letting you off easy." Before Ghost Face finished speaking, he had already pounced on them. The martial artists, who were already at their limit, couldn't withstand this full-force attack, and several of them died instantly.

"Junior Brother Bai, go!" The monk gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, clearly exhausted, yet he still stood in front of Bai Moci. "What happened at Zhongling Temple today needs to be known by the whole world!"

His unyielding tone drove Bai Moci to the point of bloodshot eyes. He turned and walked out of the temple gate, but after only a couple of steps, he turned back. "I'm not leaving!"

The demon masked figure chuckled as they fought, while on the cliff outside Chung Ling Temple, someone sat high on a horse, taking in the entire spectacle.

Only when there was a sound behind them did the person turn around, look at the newcomer without any surprise, and call out calmly, "Sister."

Xiahou Yunzhao led his horse over and immediately secured a person who was tightly bound. Upon hearing the sound, the person struggled and cried out, but to no avail.

Deputy General Cao obediently stopped in his tracks. Behind him, Su Yun's panting voice called out, "Deputy General Cao, wait for me..."

Seeing this, A-Wan couldn't help but chuckle. "So, you brought Lord Su all this way?" "The horse is no good; it collapsed after less than two days of running." Deputy General Cao helplessly scratched the back of his head. "Plus, the roads were blocked, and there wasn't a soul in sight along the way. I had no choice but to walk with Lord Su. If Lord Su hadn't been so slow, we would have arrived by evening, and we wouldn't have had the boss waiting here."

"I am, after all, a civil official, and my pace naturally... cannot keep up with you... those who march and fight..." Su Yun stood up breathlessly next to Deputy General Cao, "But, at least... I made it..."

Several soldiers followed behind them, standing in neat rows not far away.

Su Yun was about to bow loosely with his arms crossed when Fang Zilan said, "Lord Su, there's no need for such formalities. Take a breath before you speak."

As she spoke, she subtly took a step back, and Deputy General Cao stood there stunned. "Boss, what are you doing...?"

"Don't worry, I haven't contracted the plague. But since I've been in close contact with infected people, it's best to keep your distance for your safety," Fang Zilan said gently, then added seriously, "I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Vice General Cao's expression turned solemn, and Su Yun, who had been patting his chest to catch his breath, also lowered his hand and stood up straight. "Lord Fang, please speak."

"The plague is curable, and many of those infected have already recovered." As soon as Fang Zilan spoke, Deputy General Cao exclaimed joyfully, "That's great news!"

"Yes and no." Su Yun looked at Fang Zilan and said, "If that's the case, why doesn't Lord Fang come out?"

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Vice General Cao's joy. He stammered, "Boss..."

Fang Zilan did not respond to their words, but said solemnly, "The source of the plague is in Linjia Village, which is the place where the plague is most severe. Miss Yan'er from the Xiahou family should be there. I will go there later to check the situation. If the plague is under control by then, the road closure can be lifted."

Su Yun looked hesitant. Fang Zilan glanced at him and continued, "Lord Su, I won't make things difficult for you. I've asked you to come here to arrange a timeframe with the people outside for me."

"People outside?" Su Yun repeated the four words, quickly understanding that she meant something.

"I won't keep you waiting indefinitely." Fang Zilan's expression was calm, but her tone carried an undeniable authority. "If the plague is still out of control in half a month, you can do whatever you want."

"Boss!" Lieutenant General Cao's expression suddenly changed. "Once the fire is set..."

“I know.” Fang Zilan interrupted him gently. “Since I dare to say this, it is naturally after careful consideration. The plague in the town is basically under control now, and the lockdown can be lifted in less than ten days.”

"What do you mean?" Su Yun frowned slightly. Fang Zilan explained, "Road closures are possible, but they must be done gradually, reducing the scope of the closures. For villages and towns that have controlled the plague and are slowly returning to normal, the closures can naturally be lifted. But in places like Linjia Village, where the plague is severe, the closures should still be in place."

Su Yun replied knowingly, "In this way, the people inside the blockade will be greatly encouraged and filled with hope when they see that some places have been unblocked. Meanwhile, the people outside the blockade will be able to move freely and will see the light at the end of the tunnel. The situation will then be stabilized."

“Good.” Fang Zilan nodded approvingly. “However, even if the blockade is lifted, we should still order the people to stay at home for a period of time to observe their condition. It’s not too late to allow them to move around freely after we’ve confirmed that they are safe.”

“Alright.” Su Yun agreed without hesitation: “Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely arrange a half-month deadline for Lord Fang.”
