Chapter 488 - 488 488 Unable to Do Anything

Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Unable to Do Anything Chapter 488: Chapter 488 Unable to Do Anything “Quick, isolate those who’ve been poisoned! The poison can spread!”

“Stop grabbing at it! The more you scratch, the faster the Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder spreads!”

“Don’t activate your True Yuan!”

The four great families were in chaos, their higher-ups frantic and utterly panicked.

The Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder’s deadly toxin could also spread. The green powder, carried by the gentle breeze, spread from the four great families, leading to more and more cultivators being poisoned.

The cultivators at the city gate, in their panic, rushed into the city, effectively bringing the deadly toxin with them.

As people dispersed within the city, an increasing number of cultivators became infected. The spreading speed was terrifyingly fast.

In less than half an hour, one-third of Blood Moon City had been infected by the Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder, and poisoned cultivators could be seen everywhere on the streets.

The poisoned cultivators didn’t know what hit them. Their bodies itched unbearably, and they were all terrified to the extreme.

If there was no antidote, the consequences were unthinkable once the poison spread beyond Blood Moon City.

However, the poison had already begun to spread.

Zhang Shiliang had gone mad in his quest for revenge.

Revenge was not wrong, but Zhang Shiliang’s method was faulty. Even if he could exact his revenge, he was harming numerous innocent cultivators in the process.

“Seal the city gates!” In utmost urgency, Gan Haifeng ordered the gates to be locked down.

Many cultivators, in a panicked state, had already left Blood Moon City. They had to prevent more from leaving, or soon it wouldn’t be just Blood Moon City affected, but also the surrounding cities and powers might suffer the contagion.

The Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder had turned Blood Moon City into complete chaos.

…

“Excuse me, brother, do you know where I can buy a detailed map nearby?”

After leaving Blood Moon City, Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao arrived at the nearby Hundred Flowers City and were making inquiries.

“There are no maps for sale in the city,” a passerby shook his head.

“Old senior, may I ask where we can buy a map?” Ling Xiaoxiao stopped an elder and asked politely.

“A map? Little miss, there are plenty of small maps, but large ones are scarce. I’m afraid only the Mo family in Blood Moon City might have them,” the elder replied.

In the city, they asked many people, but no one knew where to find a detailed map of the Mainland, only small maps of individual regions.

And those who did know, all mentioned the Mo family in Blood Moon City.

The Mo family was out of the question now. Feng Wuchen had been refused by the Mo family, and they certainly would not help Feng Wuchen create a detailed map.

“Sigh, it seems that only the Mo family can create a detailed map of the Mainland,” Feng Wuchen said with a shake of his head.

Ling Xiaoxiao suggested, “Brother Feng, why don’t we sneak into the Mo family and steal one? They specialize in treasure hunting, so they must have maps. Brother Feng, you can completely conceal your presence. After dark, you could use instantaneous movement to sneak into the Mo family, undetected by gods and ghosts alike, and taking the map would be just like turning your hand over.”

Hearing this, Feng Wuchen’s eyes lit up and a smile curled at his lips, “Steal it? Interesting. Xiao Xiao is clever. Such a good idea, why didn’t I think of that?”

Instead of wasting time asking around, it would be faster to just sneak into the Mo family and steal a map.

Happy with the decision, Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao then left Hundred Flowers City.

However, when Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao arrived at the city gate, they were greeted by a horrifying sight.

On the streets by the city gate, numerous people were crying to the heavens, their bodies swollen with red blotches, apparently itching intolerably. They furiously scratched at the swollen blotches on their body, covered in blood, an extremely terrifying scene.

“Save me! It itches so badly! It’s so itchy!”

“I can’t take it anymore! Save me quickly!”

“We’ve been poisoned by Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder, and many people in Blood Moon City have been poisoned!”

“I haven’t been to Blood Moon City, so why am I poisoned too? Can the poison be contagious?”

Poisoned cultivators, panicking for help, threw the scene into chaos.

The many cultivators dared not approach, instead fleeing in terror.

“Brother Feng, what’s happening to them?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked with a frown, seeing that the situation was obviously very serious.

Feng Wuchen replied with a furrowed brow, “They’re poisoned. The poison is contagious, so don’t get close to them.”

“How come so many people are poisoned? Who could be so vicious?” Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the poisoned cultivators with a sympathetic face, among them were men, women, elderly, and children.

“We’ve been hit with Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder, please save us!”

Everyone on the streets had already run away, leaving only Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao behind. The poisoned cultivators’ pleading eyes all turned towards them.

“Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder?” The moment he heard these words, Feng Wuchen’s expression changed slightly.

“What kind of poison is that?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked.

“It’s a terrifyingly potent poison. Only a powerful cultivator of the Tianji Realm has enough strength to purge such a domineering poison. Without an antidote within seven days, they will rot to death. If the poison spreads, the consequences would be unimaginable,” Feng Wuchen explained with a serious expression.

Upon hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, Ling Xiaoxiao’s pretty face turned to shock, and she exclaimed, “Only seven days? How terrible is Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder? Brother Feng, can you save them?”

Feng Wuchen shook his head gravely, “I’m not sure. I don’t know if the Dragon Clan’s flames can devour the poison. If they can’t, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Xiaoxiao, stay here,” Feng Wuchen instructed, and then he walked toward one of the poisoned cultivators.

“Save me, young man, please save me quickly!”

“Save me! Young man, I can’t stand it anymore!”

Seeing Feng Wuchen approaching, the poisoned cultivators seemed to see hope, desperately rushing towards him.

“Boom!”

Feng Wuchen activated the Dragon Clan’s flames, with blue flames engulfing his body. The ferocious fiery aura swept out, scaring the cultivators into extreme fear, and they retreated.

“I don’t know if I can save you. Don’t get your hopes up,” Feng Wuchen said flatly, then waved his hand, and a wisp of blue flame flew towards a cultivator, enveloping him entirely.

Under Feng Wuchen’s control, the blue flames attempted to devour the extreme poison within the man’s body.

“It can’t devour it?” Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he drew back the blue flame. Feng Wuchen said, “I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Young man, please save us!” Hearing Feng Wuchen’s words, everyone despaired, and they all knelt down.

“What kind of poison is this that even Brother Feng is powerless?” Ling Xiaoxiao said, hardly able to believe it.

“I want to help you too, but I truly have no way,” Feng Wuchen shook his head helplessly.

The power of Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder was greater than Feng Wuchen had imagined.

“Brother Feng, is there really nothing that can be done?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked.

“Intestine-Breaking Soul-Devouring Powder is too domineering. The Dragon Clan’s fire can’t devour it. If I force it, they won’t survive the burning of the flames,” Feng Wuchen shook his head, wanting to help but powerless to do so.

“What should we do then? If the poison spreads, won’t more people be harmed?” Ling Xiaoxiao asked anxiously.

“The only thing we can do now is seal the city to prevent them from leaving, or find the poisoner, who must have the antidote. But we only have seven days, and whether they can hold on for seven days is also unknown,” Feng Wuchen shook his head again.
