The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 316, Striving for Survival

With the assistance of the Great Sun Divine Flame, the disciples of the Artifact Saint Palace were able to repair the spatial rifts much faster.

At the same time, the Central Holy Land took the lead, with the Talisman Saint Pavilion and the Array Saint Sect assisting from the side, and together they set up a huge spiritual energy shield to seal off the area filled with spatial rifts, as well as the area filled with fire spiritual energy and demonic energy, preventing the 'disaster' from spreading to other places.

Meanwhile, the Department of Medicine was also busy. Lingjing Pavilion and Qihuang Pavilion dispatched physicians and alchemists to the scene, bringing a large number of elixirs and medicines to rescue the wounded.

With all five holy lands mobilized, and the various sects and aristocratic families stationed in the capital providing assistance, the situation was initially brought under control by the time Hua Changxi emerged from the ruins of the Artifact Saint Palace.

The situation did not worsen, which relieved Hua Changxi.

She emerged from the area with the densest spatial rifts, where large amounts of fire spiritual energy and demonic energy were still continuously overflowing.

The demonic energy disturbs the mind; absorbing too much of it can cause people to lose their reason and go berserk. Hua Changxi did not linger and quickly flew towards the edge of the spiritual energy shield.

Because of the overflowing fire elemental energy, many places were burned to ashes, devoid of life, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Hua Changxi watched all this with a heavy heart. For the people living around the weapon-refining workshop, this sudden accident was nothing short of an apocalyptic catastrophe.

As she traveled along, she saw a large number of demon-suppressing soldiers moving through the spiritual energy shield area, constantly searching for the wounded. As soon as they found a living person, they would immediately send them to the flying boat. Once there were enough people, they would transport them out of the spiritual energy shield.

"Ah~"

"Be careful~"

Outside a burned-down house, a demon-suppressing soldier was about to hug a little girl huddled in a corner when a spatial rift suddenly appeared, severing both of her arms cleanly.

Hearing the commotion, Hua Changxi, just as the spatial rift was widening and about to engulf the Demon Suppression Army soldier, wielded her spiritual energy to condense a long whip, pulling him away from the danger zone.

Then, in a flash, he appeared beside the little girl, picked her up, and carried her away from the spatial rift.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me!"

Yue Yuan, the centurion of the Demon-Suppressing Army, stepped forward and thanked Hua Changxi with a face full of gratitude.

Hua Changxi pressed several acupoints on the severed-armed Demon Suppression Army soldiers to stop the bleeding. Then she quickly scanned the Demon Suppression Army. The highest cultivation level was only mid-stage Core Formation, and more than half of them were injured. She sighed inwardly, "I will join you in the search and rescue later."

Upon hearing this, the demon-suppressing soldiers present all showed joy.

More people means more strength. They could also see that the female cultivator in front of them was stronger than them. With her there, they could not only save more people, but they would also be safer.

Yue Yuan ordered his men to put the armless soldiers and the little girl onto the flying boat behind him: "We've rescued nearly a hundred people. Let's send this group out first."

Upon seeing this, Hua Changxi asked, "Is someone outside treating them?"

Yue Yuan nodded: "The Medical Department has dispatched a large number of physicians and alchemists to treat the wounded."

Hua Changxi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After that, she followed the group of demon-suppressing soldiers to search around.

With Hua Changxi's assistance, the search and rescue speed increased significantly. They searched one area after another until the area covered by the spiritual energy shield was completely searched before parting ways with the demon-suppressing army.

Outside the spiritual energy barrier, all the major forces had set up their encampments.

Yue Yuan led his men back to the Demon Suppression Army camp to report. This time, their team had completed the search and rescue mission exceptionally well, saving tens of thousands of people, more than ten times the number of other teams. As soon as they appeared, they attracted a lot of attention.

"Fourth brother!"

Yue Heng greeted him with a smile, hooking his arm around Yue Yuan's shoulder: "You really made our Xiping Prince's Mansion proud this time."

Yue Yuan was the fourth son of the Prince of Xiping, and he and Yue Heng, the head of the Qihuang Hall No. 16 of the Medical Bureau, were half-brothers.

With the revival of spiritual energy and the restructuring of the situation, the scions of powerful and noble families all understand that now is the perfect time to expand their families outwards. Without internal strife and united against external forces, brothers working together can overcome any obstacle.

Yue Heng was extremely satisfied with Yue Yuan's outstanding performance this time.

The recent upheaval at the Weapon Saint Palace has drawn support from various powerful forces, who have shown great enthusiasm. Why? Because it presents a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves.

Anyone with even a little ambition knows the importance of winning the hearts and minds of the people.

Yue Yuan looked at his fifth brother, Yue Heng, who was beaming with pride, and felt somewhat awkward. Saving so many people wasn't his doing. "Brother Yue, tell us how you searched and rescued them, how did you find so many people?"

People from the Northern Town Prince's Mansion, the Southern Ding Prince's Mansion, the Eastern An Prince's Mansion, and various powerful families and sects flocked to him, looking as if they wanted to learn from Yue Yuan.

Yue Yuan knew these people were there to test him, so he didn't take credit and said directly, "We were able to rescue so many people because we received help from a fellow Daoist surnamed Hua from the Dan Sheng Hall."

The room immediately fell silent after those words were spoken.

Yue Heng was stunned for a moment, then said with a blank face, "That Fellow Daoist Hua isn't actually a woman, is she?"

Yue Yuan looked over and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Yue Heng's face twitched: "Could her name be Hua Changxi?"

Yue Yuan shook his head: "She only said her surname is Hua, I don't know her given name."

Everyone: "."

Not far away, Chu Junling, the Right General of the Demon Suppression Army who was in charge of the search and rescue mission, also showed some fluctuations in his expression.

Hua Changxi was a celebrity in the Dan Sheng Hall. When the incident occurred, the head of the Qihuang Hall and the master of the secret realm, who were well-known in the Department of Medicine, all arrived, but she was not there.

This has sparked much discussion, with many people making defamatory remarks about her. Unexpectedly, she went to search for and rescue people.

On the other side, after parting ways with Yue Yuan and the others, Hua Changxi did not leave immediately, but went to check on the place where the wounded were being taken in.

"Ah~"

The agonizing screams disturbed people's peace of mind, and the gruesome scene of severed arms and legs was too much to bear.

The injuries suffered by the patients can be mainly divided into three types: one is being cut by spatial rifts, resulting in severe physical damage; another is being burned by fire spiritual energy, resulting in fire poisoning; and the third is absorbing demonic energy, leading to mental confusion and symptoms of uncontrollable madness.

The main personnel responsible for treating the wounded were from the Medical Department.

Almost all the people from Lingjing Pavilion and Qihuang Pavilion were mobilized, but even so, it was still a drop in the ocean compared to the large number of injured people.

Most of the injured were too badly wounded to receive treatment and died on the spot.

Seeing this scene, Hua Changxi let out a heavy sigh of relief. There are still too few physicians and alchemists!
Now, all she can do is buy more time for these injured people.

Without hesitation, Hua Changxi flipped her wrist, and a vibrant green branch of the Immortal Divine Wood appeared in her hand.

As soon as the Immortal Divine Tree branch appeared, the vitality in the air instantly became denser, causing countless cultivators to be invigorated.

Immediately, Hua Changxi began to move quickly among the wounded, waving the Undying Divine Tree branch every so often.

Green light shone down, enveloping the wounded. Some of the wounded, who seemed on the verge of death at any moment, had their dim eyes light up at this moment.

Bathed in the rich energy of life, the wounded patients' injuries were repaired to some extent, and their loss of life was slowed down.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

After being swung several times, the once vibrant green branches of the Immortal Divine Tree dimmed, and the life force they emitted diminished.

After the eighth swing, all the wounded were nourished by the power of life. At this moment, the Undying Divine Wood Branch in Hua Changxi's hand completely lost its luster, resembling a withered branch.

Hua Changxi looked at the withered branch of the Immortal Divine Tree in her hand. Although her heart was bleeding, she did not regret it.

Most of the wounded were too badly injured, and with a severe shortage of medical personnel, she could only use the life-giving power of the Undying Divine Tree Branch to give these people a glimmer of hope.
