After traveling by airship for half a day, Ye Yun and his group finally arrived at their destination—Qingyang City!

The Qingyang outpost mentioned in the mission is located in Qingyang City, and it is a powerful force with considerable influence in the area.

In fact, these outposts are the grassroots departments of ancient sacred sites, responsible for carrying out various tasks, large and small, assigned by the sacred sites.

The city of Qingyang they came to was an ordinary little town within the territory of the Ancient Holy Land.

The majority of people in the city are ordinary people, with only a few cultivators, most of whom are at the Qi Condensation stage.

Soon after, they successfully entered the city.

Has anyone noticed the problem?

After entering the city, Xiao Xiao looked around at the fairly bustling streets and quickly frowned.

Ye Yun and the others glanced at it and quickly nodded.

"It seems the situation here is even more serious than described in the intelligence."

The streets that come into view have an exaggerated male-to-female ratio of 2:8, with a clear disparity in the number of women compared to men.

After that, the group went straight to Qingyang's garrison in the city. There were two female guards standing guard at the entrance, both of whom were at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Condensation.

Upon seeing Ye Yun and his group's attire, the two guards' expressions changed, and they quickly bowed respectfully.

"Welcome, fellow disciples!"

Mo Ruyan, as the team leader, waved her hand and said.

"No need for formalities. We are here on orders to exterminate the demoness. Where is your commander here?"

Upon hearing that they had come to exterminate the demoness, the two guards were overjoyed, and one of them quickly said...

"The person in charge is inside; they should be treating her child's injuries right now."

Mo Ruyan frowned slightly and asked.

"Healing? What does that mean?"

Both guards looked somber when the matter was brought up.

Then, one of them said through gritted teeth.

"It's all because of those despicable evil cultivators. Just a few days ago, the leader's child was attacked and poisoned with a Gu poison."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun and the others frowned.

"Such a thing actually happened?"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment, then asked the guard who had spoken.

"How serious is that poison?"

"Yes, it's very serious."

The female guard sighed and said.

"A doctor came to see him and said he probably wouldn't live more than a week."

That was indeed quite serious; they were on the verge of death. Ye Yun and the others frowned deeply.

According to the intelligence, the person in charge of this Qingyang garrison is named Su Yan, and his cultivation level is at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, which is considered top-tier in this area.

His partner died unexpectedly many years ago, leaving behind only a newborn daughter.

Over the years, Su Yan has been handling official duties at her post while raising her daughter.

Now that I've encountered something like this, I'm probably already exhausted.

Mo Ruyan spoke calmly and slowly.

"We understand the general situation now. Please take us to see her."

"yes!"

One of the female guards nodded and led Ye Yun and the others into the encampment, directly to a fairly spacious courtyard.

As soon as she arrived, she called out loudly.

"Master! The senior brothers and sisters of the sect have arrived!"

In fact, Ye Yun and the others had already entered the room when she shouted.

They immediately recognized the little girl lying on the bed and the woman in blue sitting beside her, tending to her wounds; she was clearly Su Yan, the person in charge.

Ye Yun glanced at her habitually. Su Yan's appearance was average, but her figure was truly astonishing, and she exuded a mature, womanly aura...

At that very moment, a voice came to his mind.

[Fortune Points detected on Su Yan. Please find a way to obtain them!]

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Good grief, are they asking me to take action against widows?"

At the same time, upon seeing Ye Yun and the others arrive, Su Yan's expression changed slightly, and she was about to get up to greet them.

"Welcome, fellow disciples. I am truly sorry for not greeting you properly earlier."

Upon seeing this, Mo Ruyan waved her hand and said.

"You don't need to get up. Continue to heal your daughter's wounds."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Su Yan nodded. Although she was already at the sixth level of the Innate Realm, she was from the outer sect, so Ye Yun and the other inner sect disciples still had to call her "senior brother" and "senior sister".

At this moment, Ye Yun walked forward and glanced at the little girl lying on the bed.

She looked to be only six or seven years old, with black lines all over her skin, exuding a chilling aura.

Although the little girl was unconscious, there was still pain on her face, as if she was suffering some kind of torment.

Ye Yun didn't know much about Gu poison, but he remembered that Xue Lan's cousin had also been poisoned by Gu.

The key question is whether the same thing will work on this little girl.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to her, asked a question with concern.

"Master Su, how is your daughter?"

Mentioning her daughter's condition, Su Yan's face darkened, and she sighed softly.

"The situation is not optimistic. This Gu poison is extremely potent. According to the doctor, if a Gu-dissolving pill cannot be found within three days, she will have no further chance."

When the topic of the Gu-dissolving pill came up, everyone except Ye Yun exchanged glances and then shook their heads.

Lu Shaoyou frowned and said, "The Gu-Transforming Pill... such a rare pill is probably hard to find."

This elixir has very few uses, but it is extremely difficult to refine, which is why it has always been a rare commodity.

If you don't have connections, it can be difficult to buy even if you have Xuanjing (mystic crystals).

Xiao Xiao nodded and sighed softly.

"Indeed, three days is too short."

"I know that..."

Su Yan looked downcast as she gazed at her weak daughter on the bed, gently stroking her forehead with her fingers, and sighed.

"So I just want to spend as much time as possible with her in these final moments, to ease her pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, a touch of sadness settled over the room.

We feel both regret for Su Yan's maternal love for her daughter and sorrow for the loss of a young life.

Seeing the increasingly somber atmosphere, Ye Yun, who was nearby, couldn't help but cough lightly.

"I was saying, if it's a Gu-dissolving pill, I happen to have one here..."
