The door had just opened when a swift shadow dashed out, and a figure was about to pounce out.

Jin Wu Old Monster and several Alchemists reacted swiftly, their spiritual power moved like countless sturdy ropes, restraining the frenzied Village Chief who had lunged out.

Upon seeing the appearance of the Village Chief, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Even Jin Wu Old Monster, an old hand in Jiang Hu, couldn't help but feel his hairs stand on end when seeing this Village Chief who looked neither human nor ghost.

His clothes were tattered, crawling on all fours like an animal.

With a gaping mouth, sharp fangs typical of beasts protruded, his eyes were sunken deep, emitting a greenish glow on his Yintang, and his limbs sprouted coarse hair as thick as ox hair, no wonder Hong Fang and Xia Houhong were convinced that the villagers were under the influence of Evil Techniques.

Seeing the Village Chief in such a state, the Village Chief's wife and the child both started to cry.

The Village Chief, who had been struggling violently, seemed momentarily dazed when he heard the voices of his wife and child, and made whimpering sounds from his throat, sounding pitiful.

"See for yourself, these are the so-called innocent villagers. They clearly look like they are under the influence of Evil Techniques. It was these villagers, afflicted by Evil Techniques, who injured one of my personal soldiers this morning. We had even had the accompanying Alchemists examine them and found them beyond cure," said Hong Fang and Xia Houhong as they entered.

Ye Lingyue, knowing that they still wanted to save them, thought it was a fool's dream.

Hong Fang didn't believe it, when even the experts dispatched from the Imperial Hospital couldn't do anything, what could Ye Lingyue, a girl who had joined the Imperial Hospital for less than a year, possibly do to cure this disease.

"They can't do it, doesn't mean I can't, otherwise anyone could become the Master of Moon City," Ye Lingyue snorted coldly, lifting her eyelids and finding Hong Fang and Xia Houhong standing there, very annoying. "Someone, restrain him, find a clean room. There's a stray dog barking incessantly, it's very disturbing to the Master's peace."

Having said that, she had Jin Wu Old Monster and others carry the Village Chief away.

Leaving Hong Fang and Xia Houhong on the spot, so angry they almost spat blood.

"Sir, I think this villager doesn't seem ill but indeed looks bewitched. If by any chance..." Jin Wu Old Monster also expressed his concerns with caution.

He came from the Central Plains and had seen many instances of witchcraft and Gu Technique. The Village Chief's condition was very similar to those he had witnessed.

These kinds of witchcraft and Gu Technique are no trifles. Without finding the caster, rashly attempting to break the spell might even backfire on the body.

"I know my limits. You stay, let the other Alchemists go out and watch over the other villagers, especially those who are sick. Don't take action yet, wait until I have confirmed the cause, and then we can treat them together," Ye Lingyue's expression was grave.

The Village Chief's "illness" was indeed strange.

She had noticed earlier that the Village Chief had no Primordial Power, but when he burst through the door, even ordinary soldiers couldn't handle his outbreak.

Keep in mind, soldiers of the Tiger Wolf Army were carefully selected, and the least among them were Postnatal Martial Artists.

A villager who couldn't fight forcing back several Postnatal Martial Artists was clearly abnormal.

Jin Wu Old Monster used his spiritual power to restrain the Village Chief, who seemed angered by this, struggling intermittently, and the sounds from his mouth had turned into wolf-like eerie howls.

Ye Lingyue began by taking his pulse, then examining the Village Chief's body, which all appeared normal.

The hair, tongue coating, and color of blood were all normal, not indicative of poisoning.

After inspecting without finding any cause, Ye Lingyue could only press her palm against the Village Chief's chest and quietly channel Cauldron Breath into his body.

With the Cauldron Breath entering his body, Ye Lingyue's brows furrowed tightly.

This feeling, why does it feel so familiar?

The restless village chief, his body cold as ice, Ye Lingyue felt a chill emanating from within him.

Indeed, she deliberately confirmed, the symptoms of the village chief were very similar to Feng Xun when his Cold Syndrome acted up, only that Feng Xun's Cold Syndrome was much more severe, suppressed by various Elixir Pills due to his esteemed status.

Ye Lingyue was even more curious about this strange cold aura, wondering how it could appear spontaneously in the village chief's body, and if it might relate to the villagers' illnesses and Feng Xun…

Thinking of Feng Xun, Ye Lingyue felt her heart sink.

Feng Xun should have already returned to Beiqing by now.

But even if Ye Lingyue questioned Feng Xun, she feared it would yield no results; Feng Xun had mentioned that his Cold Syndrome had been a problem since his childhood.

After Cauldron Breath entered his body, the village chief quieted down a lot.

Having identified the illness, Ye Lingyue then manipulated the Cauldron Breath to devour the cold energy within the village chief.

Jin Wu Old Monster watched from the side, puzzled as well, noticing that Ye Lingyue used no Elixir Pills, yet the village chief's restlessness had significantly decreased.

Not only that, the hair and fangs on the village chief's body were also gradually diminishing.

Just as Ye Lingyue was devouring most of the cold energy within the village chief, a clump of muddy, dark green energy started swirling at his Yintang.

With a sudden sound, the dark green energy transformed into a mass the size of a tadpole, burrowing out from the village chief's forehead and rushing towards the closest Jin Wu Old Monster.

"Thinking of inhabiting my body, dream on!" Jin Wu Old Monster, infuriated at the sight.

Thinking its tadpole-sized self could vie for his new flesh.

The old monster cried out in an uproar, spewing out Golden Crow Elixir Fire from its mouth.

The Golden Crow Elixir Fire, three or four times larger than the dark tadpole energy, blazed furiously, instantly devouring the tadpole dark energy.

The old monster wore a smug look, about to boast, when suddenly, another mishap occurred; the Golden Crow Elixir Fire, which had completely devoured the tadpole dark energy, suddenly flickered, turning from a brilliant gold to an ink-like black.

The old monster inwardly cursed, his Lifebound Pill Fire had been overtaken, and he immediately felt a bone-chilling cold, as if he was about to be frozen solid.

"Retrieve your Elixir Fire," Ye Lingyue ordered, having already withdrawn the Cauldron Breath without notice.

The old monster hastily retracted his Elixir Fire, and Ye Lingyue raised her bare hand, a black light flickered, and in an instant, a Black Cauldron the size of an incense burner appeared.

The Black Cauldron smelled the tadpole dark energy and joyfully sprang from Ye Lingyue's hand, tracking the dark energy as if it had eyes.

The tadpole dark energy, now aware of the Black Cauldron's power, was greatly alarmed and no longer targeted either person in the room, seeking to escape the house.

Unfortunately, its speed was no match for the Qian Cauldron, which swallowed the entire mass of tadpole dark energy in one gulp.

With a thought from Ye Lingyue, the Qian Cauldron returned to her hand, turning into a black light and disappearing into her palm.

The entire process, smooth and flowing like water, left Jin Wu Old Monster stunned.

Although he had encountered the Qian Cauldron before, this was the first time he truly witnessed its Divine Skills.
