Chapter 151: Can Medicine Save the World?
While Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou were still discussing the situation, a massive influx of cultivators suddenly surged into the Outer Peach Garden.
These were all members from various sects of the Nine Regions, and even some from Qinzhou.
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou recognized quite a few of them.
Seeing so many people arrive, Liu Shunyi quickly pulled Zhao Gou aside to hide.
Zhao Gou looked at Liu Shunyi, puzzled. “Why are we hiding?”
Liu Shunyi glanced at the swarm of cultivators and said, “There are a lot of cultivators from Qinzhou. I’m fine, but you’re too famous there. We’re trying to keep a low profile. If someone recognizes us, it could get messy!”
Zhao Gou suddenly understood.
But he still said, “Honestly, it’s not a big deal. If they find us, we can just drag them into the King of Hell Hall!”
Liu Shunyi looked at Zhao Gou, feeling a bit of a headache. “Think long-term. If all these sects join the King of Hell Hall, then after they leave, they’ll all be King of Hell Hall people! How will you, as the Zhao Tianzun, help anyone in the future?”
“And if a major catastrophe happens later, these sects are the backbone. If they all join the King of Hell Hall, we’d be facing the crisis head-on!”
Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and then nodded. “You’re right. If the King of Hell Hall becomes too powerful, when a calamity comes, we’ll be morally compelled to deal with it, while these sects can stand on their moral high ground, pretending to be weak while pointing fingers at us.”
“The way of balance isn’t something to take lightly.”
Liu Shunyi nodded. “Insightful! Didn’t expect you to be so reasonable!”
Zhao Gou rolled his eyes. “Hey, I’ve been alive for over seven hundred years. What haven’t I seen?”
Liu Shunyi immediately fell silent.
Because he hadn’t even lived as long as Zhao Gou had in one lifetime.
Talk about feeling like a total loser.
———
After Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou hid, the woman suddenly awakened.
The moment she woke up, a terrifying wave of death energy erupted.
That death energy formed dark smoke, which in turn transformed into skulls with trailing wisps that darted among the cultivators.
In less than ten minutes, the ground was littered with fallen cultivators.
Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou exchanged glances, surprised that it had ended so quickly.
Liu Shunyi sighed, “You should have raised those people up and charged again! At least let that woman make a move!”
Zhao Gou nodded. “Oh right, what identity should I use?”
Liu Shunyi thought for a moment and said, “Just say you’re saving lives. It’s not a good reputation, but we have a lot to do in the secret realm, and you can’t mess up your name!”
Zhao Gou nodded.
He then donned his black robe and charged out.
The woman, feeling refreshed, stretched her limbs.
She looked at the pile of corpses on the ground, extremely pleased.
For her, it was just another chance to feast.
But just as she was about to dig in…
“Swish swish swish…”
The corpses on the ground suddenly stood up.
The woman was confused.
So were the resurrected corpses.
“I… didn’t I just die? What’s happening here?”
At that moment, everyone looked up at the figure in a black robe, wreathed in dark water.
Zhao Gou spoke up, “Go ahead, brothers! Charge in! No matter your injuries, I can heal you!”
As he spoke, the black water radiated a rich three-colored divine light.
Feeling the divine light wash over them, the cultivators suddenly felt a surge of energy.
A few senior members of the sect even picked up their weapons.
“Kill! This demoness has specific clues about the Reincarnation Disk!”
Hearing “Reincarnation Disk,” the cultivators’ eyes instantly filled with bloodlust.
“Kill!”
The woman glared at Zhao Gou, her expression darkening.
“A bunch of ants! Even if you stand up again, you’re still ants!”
With that, she pressed her jade hand down.
“Boom…”
A colossal handprint descended from the sky.
The cultivators were instantly crushed to pieces.
“Save lives!”
Zhao Gou shouted.
The three-colored divine light burst forth.
“Swish swish…”
That entire group of people sprang back up, full of vigor once again.
“Boom~”
“Save lives!”
“Boom!”
“Save lives!”
“Boom…”
The two were like playing ball.
One terrified and the other constantly reviving people.
In their back-and-forth, the cultivators found their fighting spirit waning.
They realized a sad truth.
In the face of absolute power, no amount of resurrection helped.
“Lord of Saving Lives, please don’t save us! Let us die! We’ve been through reincarnation too many times!”
“And…”
At that moment, everyone looked over at Liu Shunyi, who was busy collecting their blood in the black gourd.
They felt their sanity slipping.
“Who is this person? Do we have a grudge with him?”
Liu Shunyi cleared his throat. “Um, I’m just here to help relieve injuries. Also, it’s wasteful to let your blood stay on the ground. So I’m helping you collect it.”
A bunch of them nearly cried.
“Seriously, are you three in this together?”
Someone asked in despair.
Liu Shunyi shook his head. “What are you talking about? We’re enemies to that woman!”
At this point, the woman seemed bored with the game.
Then she clenched her hand.
“Boom~”
This time, all their souls exploded.
Zhao Gou’s healing was instantly rendered useless.
If it were just one person, Zhao Gou could have consumed his soul power to revive them.
But with so many, even he couldn’t handle it.
However, Zhao Gou was now furious.
This woman had crossed the line.
What kind of doctor stood idly by while unable to save lives?
Talk about slapping him in the face.
And what’s worse, it was this woman doing the slapping.
The woman looked at Liu Shunyi and Zhao Gou, unbothered.
“Now it’s just the two of you left. Who’s first? Or do you both want to go together?”
Looking at this fellow Nascent Soul cultivator and then at Zhao Gou, who was about to explode with rage, Liu Shunyi withdrew the gourd and sat cross-legged in midair.
“Can you actually choose your opponent? How delightful!”
Liu Shunyi chuckled.
At that moment, Zhao Gou ripped his shirt off, revealing his terrifying muscles.
Glaring at the woman, Zhao Gou declared, “If saving lives can’t save the world, then I’ll just have to show you my punches myself!”
“Boom~!”
As Zhao Gou finished speaking, green light exploded from his body.
The terrifying Nascent Soul aura swept through everything around him.
Feeling that fearsome aura, the woman’s heart skipped a beat.
“You… How are you not restrained? This is impossible…”
“Swish!”
Zhao Gou’s figure instantly appeared in front of the woman.
He threw a punch that shattered her skull.
The ferocious punch wind cleaved a canyon behind her.
“Swish!”
The woman’s head regenerated immediately.
Zhao Gou’s eyes widened, then a grin crept onto his face.
“Aha! An immortal body! Good, good, good!”
“Next, let me show you a little love!”
