Chapter 829: Actually, I’m A Dragon

Inside the grass hut at the Azure Mountain.

Qi Yan frowned. She had already used the Golden Needle Acupuncture Point Examination Technique and channeled her Vital Energy to examine the seventeen patients.

The cause of the illness was simple, yet horrifying.

These patients were not infected with some disease, but many of their major nerves were wrapped tightly by some mysterious cells and failed to transmit nerve impulses.

However, the nerves that were related to their vitals were unaffected. They just could not speak and move.

It was her first time witnessing this kind of illness and she did not know what to do.

How was she going to treat it?

Regardless of needles or medicines, she could not think of a solution. The mysterious cells seemed to have become a part of the human body. A slight movement could greatly harm the patients…

She thought about this for a long time. Eventually, she lit an incense stick to communicate with her master.

Green smoke was released from the incense. This showed that the Lunaette’s environment was beginning to show similarities with that of Earth.

This observation proved the might of the Heavenly Axiom. The humans faced extreme difficulty in creating a Biosphere, but the Heavenly Axiom nourished everything under it and transformed the barren Lunaette into a place of prosperity within a few years.

Soon, an elderly man in a hemp outfit appeared amidst the green smoke.

Qi Yan summarized the current condition of the patients.

The old man listened in silence.

Vigilante A had finished conducting his powers and approached them.

The rest of the clan gathered around them and listened anxiously.

“Oh, it’s this kind of strange illness? They weren’t poisoned after all.” A handful of female disciples whispered among themselves.

“Really? The mysterious cells actually prevent the transmission of nerve impulses? Is this known as nerve hyperplasia?” Someone guessed.

Although they were cultivators, the female disciples were not uneducated. In contrast, they were high achievers back in school.

To be able to get accepted into the Azure Mountain, one had to achieve a grade of AA and above, hence the clan members were rather intelligent.

Qi Hui felt her heart clench.

This sort of illness sounded similar to a type of modern disease, but how could a regular disease affect groups in such a precise manner? It was targeted towards a certain demographic and certain nerves.

It was definitely caused by someone.

No doubt, after a while, the old man spoke calmly. “This method reminds me of a malevolent god from the Upper Realm.”

“Which one?” Qi Yan asked instinctively.

“Aside from that God of Plagues, I can’t think of anyone else.” Vigilante A suddenly answered.

“Yes, Venerable One, it’s this malevolent god. He likes to study and spread all sorts of strange and unusual diseases. He targets certain demographics which results in specific symptoms. It’s tough to avoid his attacks which is terrifying.” The old man explained with a pained expression.

Everyone was shocked and then nodded in agreement.

This sort of tactic could only be pulled off by a god.

No wonder it was so horrifying. This illness had immobilized a large group of people. Like crippled men, they could neither move nor speak, yet the symptoms were not obvious.

“In the miraculous physician’s opinion, how can we cure them?” Vigilante A pressed on.

The old man shook his head in despair. “If we were in the Upper Realm, with my own healing expertise and prayers to the supreme deities, we could probably cure the patients. Unfortunately, the God of Plagues has fused this realm’s Axiom and the illness has taken a turn for the worse, hence I’m unable to help you.”

“Miraculous physician, I implore you to have a heart and help us. I promise the Azure Mountain will repay your kindness in the future.” Qi Hui pleaded.

Her husband was still in the Mountain and was one of the afflicted, but he had not been moved into the grass hut. The clan elders would be treated when the healing methods proved effective on the disciples.

“Sigh, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but this is indeed beyond my abilities since Divine Power is involved. Unless I apply the Healing Path, it’ll be challenging to overcome this illness. Even if I treat it now, it’ll relapse very quickly.” As the old man spoke, his expression changed suddenly. “No, you better leave these patients at once. I believe they have other targets in mind.”

Vigilante A listened and held out his arm. He brought Qi Yan along and both of them vanished into thin air.

The clan members of the Azure Mountain remained near the grass huts.

The incense was still burning.

Qi Hui and Gu Buwei glanced at each other and the two of them revealed suspicious looks.

“Sigh, the God of Plagues intended to use these patients as mediums to attack the hero. I’m very familiar with his tactics. The condition of the patients has worsened over these few days and I fear it’s too late to save them. I only hope that the Venerable Dragon God can escape this fate.”

As he finished speaking, the incense stick had almost burned to a cinder and the old man’s figure had started to become transparent.

“Sigh, what should we do? Don’t tell me that this day will be the end of the Azure Mountain Clan?” Qi Hui was ultimately a soft person and tears began to stream down her cheeks.

“Don’t fear, mistress. I’m sure there’s a way to solve this issue. The Grandmaster is in control of the arcane realm and there must be a solution.” Gu Buwei comforted her.

“Indeed, there’s a solution, but are you willing to do it?” The old man suggested.

“Please help us, miraculous physician.” Qi Hui implored.

“Reincarnate the men.” Once he finished speaking, the old man disappeared from sight.

Everyone at the Azure Mountain was taken aback…

True, this illness was terrible. The nerve hyperplasia prevented the transmission of nerve impulses, but it obeyed the Path of Mother Nature. If the souls reincarnate, they would follow the Path of Mystery and will no longer be subject to limitations.”

However, looking at these people, Qi Hui shook her head in disagreement. They formed the backbone of this clan and if they died and reincarnated, the entire Azure Mountain Clan would be finished.

Besides, she did not want her husband to become a Spirit Cultivator for eternity. If that happened, how could love between them still exist? Humans and spirits were ultimately different from each other and this was not a far-fetched concept.

“No, there must be another way.” She paced back and forth.

Sure, there were other ways, but the Grandmaster would definitely oppose to them. Gu Buwei contemplated.

Sacrificing the arcane realm would naturally save these men.

Nonetheless, it was impossible.

…

In the Draconic Arcane Realm.

All of a sudden, Qi Yan showed up in this area and she was in shock.

Then, Vigilante A entered the realm.

“This is my portable grotto-heaven, so there’s nothing to fear. That God of Plagues won’t leave us in peace. When he waylaid me the last time, I wasn’t in much trouble, so I didn’t confront him immediately. However, he keeps harassing me. I hate him.” Vigilante A remarked coldly.

Qi Yan remained silent and pulled out her Golden Needle.

“What’re you going to do?” Vigilante A enquired curiously.

“Naturally, I’m going to examine you.” Qi Yan frowned. “You’ve heard the master’s words. That malevolent god intends to use the men of the Azure Mountain as mediums to hurt you, so you should be more cautious.”

“It’s alright, I’ve already examined myself. I possess godly powers and those illnesses which are targeted towards regular humans cannot possibly harm me.” Vigilante A asserted confidently.

Qi Yan commented resignedly. “You sure are confident.”

“You still don’t believe me, do you? Fine, I’ll let you understand why those illnesses will have no effect on me.”

As soon as Vigilante A finished speaking, his body vanished and a green dragon appeared in his place.

“I see, your true form is a dragon. He probably isn’t familiar about a dragon’s nervous system… This subject isn’t yet understood by the humans.” Qi Yan exclaimed and felt relieved.

“Absolutely. No matter how meticulous his plan is, he’s still one step behind.” The green dragon declared.
