It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Chapter 171 Difficulty

The clinic is now the most dangerous place in the city, and no matter how busy Kong Yan is, he will not let his sister go there.

Xi Yaoyue simply saw doctors and pharmacists coming and going every day and didn't think much of it.

Hearing it mentioned now, she realized what was happening and immediately became anxious: "What should we do!"

Kong Yan slapped his thigh: "Sigh..."

He dared not say that the Eighth Princess's plan to clear out the clinic would only make Xi Yaoyue more panicked.

All I could say was, "Let's go over there quickly!"

When the two arrived, the place was already heavily guarded.

The smell of kerosene and lime could be smelled nearby, and every few steps, one could spot the army's sorcerers inspecting talismans and array swords.

The Crown Prince wouldn't act that quickly; this might be someone from the Eighth Princess's faction.

Kong Yan ordered, "Let me pass."

The guard tried to stop them, but was reminded by others and reluctantly left.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

To accommodate more people, the clinic was expanded several times over.

The two had walked a short distance when they suddenly heard a roar from the side: "Awooo!"

Whoosh!

A bizarre black shadow covered in strange limbs suddenly pounced on the two of them.

Bang!

The soldiers, not wanting the magistrate to be attacked, raised their guns and stood in front of him, colliding fiercely with the monster.

Xi Yaoyue was startled, and then looked at the menacing monster with pity.

Kong Yan sighed, "He was once a human being..."

If it weren't for the obvious head features, that bizarre body, covered in pustules, would hardly be recognizable as a resident of Cheng'an County.

Bang bang!

The magistrate's personal guards were at the fourth level of strength, and it took them some effort to finally subdue the monster.

The soldier bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I failed to protect you properly, sir. Please punish me!"

Kong Yan sighed, "How can you blame yourself for this?"

The clinic was full of patients whose illnesses had progressed to later stages, and they were no longer recognizable as human.

After transforming into this bizarre form, each limb twisted and deformed, and its power increased several times over.

It's hard to imagine that an ordinary mortal could injure a cultivator at the fourth realm after being injured.

If you yourself are being ambushed, it means the situation in the clinic is out of control.

The patient broke free of the restraints and attempted to attack a normal person.

This also shows that while military strategists are invincible in direct confrontations, they are vulnerable to small-scale surprise attacks.

This is why the Divine Dynasty, despite its formidable military strength, did not exterminate all sects.

If they really push them too far, the sects will assassinate officials every few days, and the Divine Dynasty will collapse.

Xi Yaoyue asked softly, "How are you?"

The soldier was somewhat moved and quickly stood up straight: "Thank you for your concern, Madam, I'm fine!"

Xi Yaoyue frowned: "How can you say nothing's wrong?"

If it is an ordinary human or a demon with a discernible form, the soldiers can defend against it based on their experience.

The monster had a bizarre appearance, and its extra limbs swung like scythes, still managing to cut several wounds on the soldiers' arms and cheeks.

In that short time, the wound began to grow granulation tissue, which coiled and swayed like earthworms.

Kong Yan had seen this many times in the past few days, so he quickly said, "Quickly, fetch the medicine!"

Soon, someone handed over the medicine.

Kong Yan said to the soldiers, "Endure it, no matter how painful it is."

This is not a life-saving medicine, but a harmful poison!

In recent days, pharmacists have discovered that ordinary drugs only stimulate unknown toxins, causing people to become alienated more quickly.

When infected, only poison can suppress it!

Even Kong Yan, due to prolonged contact with disaster victims, developed mild symptoms.

Only Xi Yaoyue and You Li are completely unaffected, which is truly enviable.

Kong Yan picked up the poison: "Give me your hand."

Soon, a series of ghostly wails and howls were heard.

After handling the unexpected incident, the two quickly caught up with the Crown Prince and his entourage.

Qin Changqing's expression was solemn. From the huge room in front of him, shrill screams kept coming.

The people who came and went the most were not doctors, but soldiers who were constantly suppressing the enemy.

The massive medical facility houses 100,000 people, and it's even hard to say whether they are still human.

These ordinary people, after undergoing this transformation, possess immense strength, even capable of injuring soldiers with cultivation abilities.

"Roar!" A monster chained up suddenly sprang up, broke its chains, and charged toward the group.

Clang!

The Eighth Princess's guards suddenly drew their swords, ready to sever the monster's head.

when!

Qin Changqing's guards suddenly drew their spears, first blocking the longsword, then unleashed their spiritual power, pinning the monster firmly to the ground.

The two guards stared at each other coldly, their eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.

The Eighth Princess showed no sign of tension or fear, and smiled, "Brother, do you still want to attack me?"

Qin Changqing said coldly, "Does my royal sister intend to continue killing?"

The Eighth Princess exclaimed in surprise: "Crown Prince! Is this still human? It's a demon!"

"Is there anything wrong with slaying demons and monsters?"

"Besides..."

A cold smile played on her lips: "Brother, have you forgotten why you came here?"

Qin Changqing said coldly, "I haven't forgotten."

The Eighth Princess smiled radiantly, adding fuel to the fire: "Since you haven't forgotten, this person is going to die sooner or later anyway, so why bother pretending?"

Qin Changqing closed his eyes in pain.

Now, with the city's garrison and the Crown Prince's military force, they have barely managed to suppress the medical clinic.

One stove can burn a person, but with so many eyes watching, nothing serious will happen.

But now, Cheng'an County is like a wildfire, spreading across the mountains and plains.

Who knows which family might suddenly have a monster appear out of?

The towns and cities of Daqian are scattered like stars in the sky, and they don't care about Cheng'an County at all.

Yet, this small county of Cheng'an is so difficult to control.

The Eighth Princess's task is not limited to simply cleaning up the clinic in front of her.

She wants to clean up all the cities where the disease has appeared!

Qin Changqing knew that once he opened his mouth, it would involve far more than just the mere 100,000 people in front of him.

Or the entire Cheng'an County, or even countless cities and hundreds of millions of people!

The Eighth Princess chuckled, "Brother, what are you waiting for?"

Qin Changqing's lips moved slightly. When he saw Kong Yan arrive, he sighed softly, "Magistrate Kong, I am incompetent and unable to help."

Once the order is given, Kong Yan will be the first to be held accountable.

In order to appease public anger, it's not impossible that they might use someone else's head.

Kong Yan understood what the other party was saying, but at this point, there was no better solution.

He also clung to a sliver of hope: "Your Highness, let me give the order."

"Perhaps today can buy us time to develop drugs."

Qin Changqing suddenly remembered something and happened to see Xi Yaoyue beside him: "Madam Zhenyuan Marquis, where is your young master?"

Xi Yaoyue was taken aback, not expecting that she would be mentioned.

But thinking of her son, she said anxiously, "The child is naughty; I wonder where he's run off to play!"

Qin Changqing suddenly had a thought: "I wonder if your son has any better suggestions. It would be best to ask him."

This child truly deserves to be considered a promising talent by both the Taixu Sect and the Academy; he certainly possesses innate wisdom.

In the previous rounds, my decisions were correct, but they paled in comparison to his.

If we could ask him, he might have a better suggestion.

Xi Yaoyue was taken aback: "Ask... Yun'er? What could he possibly be thinking?"

The Eighth Princess was getting impatient: "Brother, are you going to clean up this clinic or not?"

Qin Changqing nodded: "Of course it needs to be cleaned up."

"That's enough!" the Eighth Princess commanded loudly. "The sorcerers will cast fire talismans to make those healers come out on their own!"

"Those who delay important matters, let them burn to death!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the well-prepared soldiers prepared to launch an attack.

Formations and runes appeared in the air, and the power of fire surged higher and higher.

Such a medical clinic, under the attack of the military, could not last even a stick of incense!

Qin Changqing's eyes turned cold: "What do you want to do!"

The Eighth Princess chuckled: "Your Majesty, make the decision. I'll do the dirty work for you."

"attack!"

Xi Yaoyue was shocked: "Stop! Yun'er and You Li are still inside!"

Qin Changqing was taken aback: "The heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan is inside?"

Xi Yaoyue nodded vigorously: "How can you treat human life so lightly? There are still people inside!"

"There are still many people alive!"

The Eighth Princess didn't recognize her and didn't care about anything else: "Continue."

boom!

A fire talisman flew out.

Bang!

Qin Changqing simply took a step forward, his body blocking the fire talisman, which exploded into a huge cloud of smoke.

He possessed defensive magical artifacts and was therefore unafraid of such things. He sneered, "I have other matters to discuss with the heir of the Marquis of Zhenyuan."

"If you want to destroy me as well."

"Let's get started!"

Having said that, he flicked his long robe, turned, and went inside.

Xi Yaoyue was already worried about Su Yun, but seeing that there were royal relatives outside, she kept to her manners and did not barge in.

Seeing the Crown Prince taking the lead, he immediately rushed in as well.

The soldiers looked at each other in dismay and dared not attack again.

Who would dare to kill the crown prince?!

The Eighth Princess gritted her teeth in anger: "Ask the Heir Apparent of the Marquis of Zhenyuan? What a lame excuse you dare to come up with!"

"What's the use of stalling for time? I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."
