Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 185 The Cats, Exorcising Evil

The kitten's alertness, coupled with the sudden murderous intent emanating from Lu Wubing, made it impossible to ignore.

Master Yunyi truly lives up to his reputation as a descendant of the Bright Moon Sect.

Having lived in the city for many years and interacted with all sorts of people, she is extremely quick-witted.

Reaching out, the sword light, like a crescent moon in autumn, had already struck the leather pouch at the waist of disciple Xuan Lin, where two points of red light were flashing.

This sword strike appeared elusive, but in reality, it was a concentrated burst of energy. At the tip of the sword, a soft, rice-grain-like radiance pierced the eyes like a needle.

"do not move."

Lu Wubing flicked his left pinky finger, and a wisp of energy shot out.

puff……

Yun Yizhen's wrist trembled violently, and he could no longer hold the long sword between his fingers. With a hum, it wriggled like a long snake and flew out of his hand.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the sword, which had just left her hand, was knocked back by an invisible force and fell into the scabbard on her shoulder.

"Excellent finger technique, excellent swordsmanship."

Master Yunyi's body stiffened slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

She had previously witnessed Lu Wubing single-handedly block three innate masters with his sword, causing Gu Taihe to flee in terror. The leader of the Pai Gang, Xie Qinglong, and the Golden Scale Guard expert, Xue Liang, were completely subdued by his sword from beginning to end, without even the strength to struggle.

She thought those few innate experts were somewhat overrated.

After all, the opponent's show of power wasn't particularly impressive; they were easily beaten and left looking disheveled, eventually fleeing in panic like a frightened bird.

Therefore, it is inevitable that people will underestimate the importance of these points.

As a result, all the experts present felt that those few innate masters might be overrated, and that if they went up to fight them, they might not necessarily lose.

Only then did she realize that it wasn't that those experts were weak, but rather that they had chosen the wrong opponents. Their opponents were too strong, making them appear particularly incompetent.

Just like Master Yunyi at this moment, she didn't even see how Lu Wubing made his move, let alone see him draw his sword. Her decades of practice of the Heavenly Heart Bright Moon Sword Technique and her second-grade internal energy cultivation were completely useless. She was like a puppet on strings, controlled by a gentle force.

Completely unable to act independently.

'What if this junior disciple is an enemy of the Bright Moon Sect?'

Upon realizing this, Master Yunyi's heart pounded wildly, to the point that he almost forgot his previous thought.

"Uncle-Master, please forgive me. This red-eyed rat may carry a disease, so we must not kill it."

Lu Wubing looked at his cat and felt a little heavy-hearted.

This was the first time he had ever seen his cat, which was practically a genius, behave in such a way.

You know, even if the little guy encounters a master of innate talent, he will at most hide secretly. If he feels that he is no match for the opponent, he will even call on his friends and call for reinforcements, thinking of defeating the opponent.

It has its own way of surviving.

Are you able to sense whether what you are facing poses a threat to your life?

Unlike now, when the enemy (the rat) is not strong, we are treated as if it were a formidable foe, our voices are sharp and our hair stands on end.

Clearly, this was a premonition of an inexplicable and unmanageable danger.

If it were a cat from the past, it would be easier to deal with if it encountered danger.

But nowadays, things are a bit strange.

Lu Wubing obtained a large number of precious medicines in Dongjun, including some for cultivating spiritual power, some for cultivating qi and blood, and some strange natural medicines for strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy. He used some of them for his own cultivation, and naturally he did not forget his beloved pet.

It could be said that the kitten ate these precious medicines like food every day, even more than Seventh Senior Sister and Cheng Liangyu.

No one knows what kind of constitution it has, but its physical and mental endurance is stronger than that of its two senior sisters who are comparable to top-tier masters.

Therefore, although the cat's size does not appear to have changed much, its fur is actually shinier and smoother, its eyes are brighter, and its running speed has reached a certain limit.

Lu Wubing tried several times, and even when he used the perfected Fangcun Step, unless he was in an open area, he couldn't catch the kitten at all once he entered a slightly complicated place, such as a forest or a densely populated area.

It's almost there.

Moreover, the kitten's physical strength and mental perception have also increased several times over.

The power itself was one thing, but the ability to stealthily move and sense traces in advance was something even Lu Wubing himself found quite amazing.

If he doesn't keep a close eye on things, he, as the owner, sometimes won't even realize where the kitten has gone.

I simply ignored it and let it eat its fill every day...

Anyway, when it really comes time to look for him, the little guy always remembers to come home, never causing me any worry.

There are no natural enemies that can harm it.

They were left to roam freely like that.

This cat, which is even more powerful than a tiger in the mountains and has a much stronger ability to protect itself, is now showing such a look.

There is only one reason.

It's nothing more than a virus.

Only an invisible and intangible killer can instill fear in a kitten.

When Master Yunyi rashly killed the rat, blood splattered everywhere. Who knows how many more viruses would be spread?

Moreover, the fact that this large red-eyed rat would appear in the bag of a Mingyue Sect disciple seemed highly unusual.

If the virus spreads and is not contained in time, the people in the city will suffer.

"It was that old rat who did it..."

Master Yunyi immediately understood.

Sweat was pouring down his forehead.

Having fought the twelve ferocious beasts of the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall for some time, she was quite familiar with their methods.

He hurriedly explained, "That old rat's surname is Wei, but its exact name is unknown. The demon cubs call it the Ancestor of the Child God. It is the oldest among the twelve ferocious beasts and its methods are the most bizarre."

Although this person has not reached the Innate Realm, he is extremely difficult to deal with, especially skilled at using specially cultivated rats to infiltrate enemy dwellings.

It is said that many masters who offended him would die of poisoning without any apparent reason.

"If you're poisoned by this strange rat venom, you'll bleed from all seven orifices, your body will fester, and you'll suffer excruciating pain at the moment of death, howling day and night... The worst part is that there's no cure for this toxin; even the old rat itself didn't have an antidote."

Master Yunyi looked at his disciple's pale face, his gaze lingering on her bluish lips, and his eyes filled with tears.

He gritted his teeth and prepared to swing his sword again.

"Take it easy, it's not hopeless."

Lu Wubing saw through what Master Yunyi was planning to do at a glance.

In the experience of the Bright Moon Sect, once someone is poisoned by rats, they are almost certainly going to die. If they don't want to face the patient's final madness, it is better to kill them and burn their body to prevent the poison from spreading.

This is a last resort.

Of course, Lu Wubing was right there, and he couldn't possibly let her do that.

"Has Uncle forgotten? I am just a doctor. Others may not be able to deal with this kind of toxin, but it is not a fatal disease for me."

Please, Uncle-Master, lead your fellow disciples to stay a distance for now.

People in this world may not know much about the plague, but historical records show that there are many instances of epidemics suddenly rising after wars and famines.

They had heard of and witnessed hordes of people falling to the ground.

Some can be saved, some cannot.

When faced with this situation, there's nothing you can do but leave it to fate.

When a region falls ill and almost everyone dies, the few survivors who remain mostly develop antibodies, and as spring turns to autumn, the illness gradually subsides.

The scene was so tragic that it was unbearable to witness.

How could Master Yunyi not be afraid? Even now, hearing Lu Wubing's confidence, he still hesitated: "Can he really be saved?"

"Of course it's true. Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I won't risk the lives of the entire city's inhabitants."

Although he couldn't be sure if it was an epidemic, no matter how he looked at it, the other party wouldn't throw a rat at the enemy for no reason. Did they want to disgust people?
Therefore, the virus definitely exists.

If Lu Wubing were just a simple doctor who only knew how to treat common ailments, he would be helpless in this situation.

However, his body has now undergone many transformations and can now draw upon the boundless vitality of heaven and earth.

Regardless of the type of virus, in the world's medical terms, it is always a collection of evil, mixed, toxic, and demonic energy. Facing the pure, yang, righteous, and vital energy of heaven and earth is a perfect match for its professional expertise.

The rat in Xuan Lin's waist pouch hadn't even had a chance to bite anyone, nor had it had a chance to run around and cause trouble, or spread disease. It had just peeked out when it was discovered by the kitten. This was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

chi...

Lu Wubing flicked his finger, and a silver needle shot out, embedding itself between the eyebrows of the large rat.

Watching the rat leap out of the leather bag and fall to the ground motionless, he then took out several silver needles and inserted them into various acupoints on Xuan Lin's head, chest, and abdomen, infusing him with life force...

I sensed it in my mind, and there was a reaction inside Junior Sister Xuan Lin's body.

Like hot water poured into a pan of oil, sizzling and endless vitality surges forth like a torrent, washing away the countless minute changes that cover the body... Repairing, healing, growing.

After a dozen or so breaths.

Lu Wubing stopped what he was doing, flicked his sleeve, and with a surge of energy, dislodged all the silver needles stuck in Xuan Lin's body. He said in a deep voice, "These clothes are no good. It would be best to burn them and then take a bath. As for your senior uncle and the other three senior sisters, they are fine."

Xuan Lin swayed his body, opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and his complexion regained its rosy hue.

She knew she had just narrowly escaped death, so she quickly stepped forward to express her gratitude.

"Thank you so much, senior brother, for saving my life."

"No need to be polite. The Tianxing Sect and the Mingyue Sect have always been like one family, helping each other out. When our junior sister is in danger, there is no reason for us to stand idly by."

Lu Wubing smiled and accepted her bow. He then turned to look at Master Yunyi and said solemnly, "This time, it is clear that the expert from the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has come after my uncle. His intentions are extremely malicious. He wants to use my uncle as a medium to harm all the people of Mingyang City. Such a vicious person must not be allowed to stay overnight. I wonder if my uncle is confident that he can find this person and take revenge?"

Master Yunyi was still feeling lingering fear, and his heart was filled with anxiety and regret. Upon hearing these words, he gritted his teeth.

"I dream of wiping out all these demons, but I have no idea where they are?"

What she said was absolutely true.

In terms of sheer combat strength in a direct confrontation, the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall isn't actually that formidable.

The most important thing about swordsmanship and martial arts is inheritance.

A set of divine skills is completely different from ordinary martial arts in the martial arts world.

In terms of the sheer number of unique skills and the immense power of martial arts, even in its decline, the Three Divine Peaks are not a force for ordinary masters to challenge.

Unless it is the martial arts of the orthodox Reincarnation Hall of the Demonic Sect, it can not compare with the Three Divine Peaks.

If it were just a matter of those unorthodox sects like the Beast Hall, in a real fight, a Mingyue Sect expert could defeat two or three Beast Hall experts of the same level.

However, the opponent's attack was extremely cunning.

It's either a little mouse or a poisonous snake that gets released.

Even a cow or a horse that you see every day by the roadside might suddenly launch a sneak attack.

This fighting style is very unsettling for righteous people.

You can't possibly guard against your own hen spitting out a poisonous needle.

Therefore, as soon as the Bright Moon Sect made contact with the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, they immediately suffered a great loss and were almost driven to Mirror Moon Lake.

If Ouyang Zheng hadn't led a large number of swordsmen to provide support and ruthlessly slaughtered a group of demonic fodder, the situation at the Bright Moon Sect would be even more perilous. Who knows, their ancestral temple might have been breached...

No wonder Master Yunyi reacted so strongly when he heard Lu Wubing mention that he wanted to find the rat's owner and take revenge.

Lu Wubing laughed and said, "Speaking of which, it's infuriating that Junior Sister Xuanlin was poisoned by a sneak attack and became the medium for the other party to administer poison. But looking at it from another perspective, it's actually a good thing... Cat, let's see what you can do."

As he said this, he waved.

Call the kitten to your side.

At the same time, he flicked his finger slightly, knocking away the silver needle between the red-eyed rat's eyebrows.

The mouse's eyelids twitched, its red eyes opened, and it pushed off the ground with all four paws, about to leap up and run away.

They clearly understood their situation.

The mouse had just leaped up and hadn't even landed when the kitten opened its mouth and let out a meow.

The cat's meow was initially sharp like a steel wire, but the ending note was a long, powerful tiger roar, with the throat sound rolling like waves, making one's heart pound.

Yun Yi and Shen Liancheng had this feeling, let alone that red-eyed rat.

After it landed, its body trembled, and a line of water spurted out from its hind legs. It then frantically paddled with its limbs and dashed toward the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

"Follow."

Lu Wubing quickly called out, and followed a line of dark figures, crossing the rooftops and closely trailing behind the kitten.

A gust of wind swept past their ears, and suddenly countless meows echoed throughout the city.

Lu Wubing turned around and saw countless houses filled with black cats, white cats, tabby cats, raccoon dogs...

Countless stray and domestic cats, big and small, suddenly appeared.

Some jumped onto the rooftops, while others ran through the streets, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise and make way.

Lu Wubing and his companions caught up with the group outside the city.

They swept up to the hillside.

Looking back, they all took a deep breath.

All that could be seen above and below the city gate was a surging tide, with hundreds or even thousands of cats and kittens flowing out in droves.

Behind this horde of cats, countless other cats rushed to arrive.

"No wonder that during the Three Sects Grand Competition, that barbarian from the grasslands called the cat my nephew raised the 'Lord of Immortality,' saying it was the king of cats. That roar of his was truly something else."

Shen Liancheng clicked his tongue in amazement as he watched.

Shen Xinzhu was also dumbfounded and asked in surprise, "Are there so many cats in our Mingyang City? I've hardly ever seen any?"

"It's not a city cat. This little guy has recently become obsessed with leading troops in battle and has gathered a large group of his kind in the mountains and forests. Perhaps cats from several nearby cities have also come over."

Looking at the cat running ahead with great stride and pride.

Lu Wubing was also somewhat dumbfounded.

Thinking about how the kitten would run out every day and disappear from time to time, sometimes not being seen for two or three days, Lu Wubing began to understand.

"Forget about these cats. Just chase that mouse, and you'll find the whereabouts of that damned [Zi Shenjun]."

Since he's determined to plot against Mingyang City, it must be somewhere not far away.

The group hurried on their way, and after running for about thirty miles, they saw a small path bend ahead, and a mountain village was faintly visible emerging from the forest.

"right here."

Master Yunyi shouted sternly.

She had seen this kind of quiet little village many times.

Every time I see him, I can't help but feel a surge of murderous intent.

"Everyone in the village is dead." Shen Liancheng said coldly as he rushed around the village.

Shen Xinzhu also took a deep breath, looked at Lu Wubing, and said in a deep voice, "I'll play a tune first to force these 'rats' hiding in their burrows out."
