The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1098 Two Groups of People (2 Updates)
Inside that small ward, with the outside world still shrouded in gray, the feeling wasn't quite there yet.

Now, standing in the center of the courtyard again, the sky seemed to be shrouded in deathly aura.

The Taoist priest in the long robe finally grasped the true nature of the current situation.

A belated sense of panic crept onto his scalp, giving him a chilling, numb feeling.

The Taoist priest in the long robe had faced death many times; just a few days ago, he was almost tortured to death.

However, the feeling of death, which involves physical pain, is completely different from the fear that arises from the depths of one's heart.

At that moment, the voices of the other people in the clinic could also be heard.

"What's wrong with today? It's already this late, and it's still not light."

"I don't know why, but I always feel like something big is about to happen, and I feel very panicked."

"Me too, is it because I'm too anxious?"

……

Just then, the talisman in the long-robed Taoist's hand became slightly warm.

The fear that had been creeping into the Taoist priest's heart immediately dissipated.

Could it be that without light, fear will slowly erode a person's life...?

This discovery made the Taoist in the long robe suddenly realize that he had discovered a secret.

The Taoist in the long robe raised his eyes and glanced at the sky again.

Then he left the remaining few extra talismans to the people at the clinic.

"Take these and don't leave the clinic until the sun comes out again!"

The old doctor who was in charge of looking after the Taoist priest in the long robe glanced at him, then quickly accepted the talisman.

Although the old doctor wasn't a member of the Taoist sect, the saying "old age brings wisdom" is no exaggeration.

He clearly realized something was wrong sooner than the others.

In particular, many Taoist masters came to their door and saw the talismans given to them by the Taoist in the long robe.

The old doctor understood that it was because of their meticulous care that the other party had given them this life-saving item.

As the Taoist priest in the long robe left the clinic, the old doctor turned to look at the person behind him.

"We ordinary people don't know what's going on outside, but the most important thing to do to save our lives is to obey orders."

The senior doctor held considerable authority in the clinic, and everyone nodded in agreement when he spoke.

“Master, don’t worry, I will definitely obey, but… but my family… I want to go and bring my family over…”

The old doctor nodded: "That's right. The situation outside shouldn't be too bad right now. If you want to bring your family over, you should hurry, or it'll be too late..."

Even if no one says it, everyone present knows without even thinking what will happen if we're late.

As soon as they received permission, the family members who lived in Lotus City hurriedly headed home.

After leaving the clinic, the Taoist priest in the long robe headed towards the street corners where talismans were pasted, wanting to see what was going on with them.

There were still some pedestrians on the street at this moment.

They clearly realized something was wrong and came out of their homes or shops.

"It's already this late, why is it still so dark? It's delaying my business!"

"You can argue with that! Usually by this time, the sun would be out, and my clothes from yesterday are still waiting to be dried in the sun!"

“My family is really unlucky. Yesterday I talked to those relatives in the countryside and asked them to send fish and shrimp into the city.”

"It's already this late, and they still haven't delivered the goods. Typical country bumpkins, they have no sense of time at all!"

……

Many people are complaining, but they have no idea that death is very close to them.

The Taoist priest in the long robe reached the street corner and saw the talisman that had been pasted there. Now, it vaguely resembled a carved image. He reached out to touch the pattern, but a young man next to him grabbed his hand.

"caught you!"

Taoist in long robe: ...

The sky was overcast, and in such an environment, others might not even be able to see who was in front of them.

However, those who are Xuan Masters are not subject to too many restrictions.

The young man grabbed the Taoist in the long robe's hand and naturally saw the injuries on his body.

"open!"

The Taoist priest in the long robe spoke in a cold and distant tone.

The young man had finally managed to stake out the person here, so how could he possibly let him go?

Not only did he not loosen his grip, he even increased the pressure on his hands, as if afraid that the Taoist in the long robe would escape.

"I won't let you go. It wasn't easy for me to catch you again, I can't just let you go like this!"

The Taoist priest in the long robe was not a kind person. Since the young man in front of him could not understand human language, he did not need to be polite.

He immediately pushed back with his hand.

The wrist, which had been firmly held by the young man, was easily freed.

"Get lost if you don't want to die!"

The young man looked at his hands with a somewhat bewildered expression.

No, his grappling technique is very powerful, how come it suddenly stopped working?

Now, the cold warning voice of the Taoist in the long robe rang in his ears again.

The young man finally realized, belatedly, that he had been scammed.

This isn't a suspect at all; someone clearly sent him here to die!
With a 'plop'.

The young man made a spineless sliding knee slide.

"Senior, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I... I came to catch the villain who wanted to destroy this talisman array, I didn't know..."

The Taoist priest in the long robe listened to the young man's somewhat incoherent apology.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

"You mean, someone sent you here?"

At this point, let alone just confessing, the young man would be willing to give up all his treasures and resources.

He nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, I heard someone say that these talismans seem to suppress something."

Someone wants to destroy these talismans and release what's being suppressed..."

The Taoist in the long robe immediately understood that there must be two different groups of people inside Lotus City.

One wave is a group of people who want to find out what happened in Lotus City in order to save it.

Another group of people knew what secrets Lotus City held and wanted to disrupt the divine envoy's suppression.

Although the Taoist in the long robe was unaware of any hidden story or connection involved.

However, this did not prevent him from guessing that this second group of people were definitely not good people.

In order to achieve his own goals, he completely disregarded the people of Lotus City.

If the divine messenger's talisman suppression is destroyed, the entire Lotus City will surely end up like that destroyed town.

Everyone died after their life essence was drained by an unknown entity.

The thought of such a scene made the Taoist priest in the long robe feel quite uneasy.
