Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Method of Rescue Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Method of Rescue A night passed in the blink of an eye.
In Blood Moon City, even though the four major families and the main city had dispatched a large number of guards to watch over the poisoned, the spread of the poison remained terrifyingly fast.
Even among the guards, many were infected.
In just one evening, the number of infected rose to several hundred.
At such a terrifying rate, Blood Moon City wouldnât last long.
Beyond this, many of those infected couldnât endure the intense itching throughout their bodies and scratched themselves madly, eventually leading to their death from excessive blood loss.
There were also many who committed suicide, with the death toll reaching over a thousand in one night.
Just one night, not even a full day, let alone surviving seven, it simply wasnât possible.
The Mo family compound.
âFamily Head! Family Head! The map marked with the treasureâs location is missing!â A guardâs panicked shouting echoed through the compound.
âThis is bad!â The moment he heard it, Mo Zhengnanâs complexion drastically changed, and he immediately stood up.
He thought instantly of the map that was stolen last night, the very one that marked the treasureâs location!
âIt must be the person who stole the map last night!â The First Elder stated with absolute certainty, his old face darkening.
âThis is troublesome! Now that the treasureâs location has been leaked, that lad will surely get there first! One of the markers is an extremely ancient crypt!â The Second Elder spoke through gritted teeth, fuming with anger.
âHmph! Even if he has the map, it doesnât necessarily mean heâll find the treasure! With our Mo familyâs treasure hunting experience, we donât dare to say we could find it easily. Rather, let him help us search, and send people to the marked treasure locations immediately, with teleportation talismans!â Mo Zhengnan said in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly, a surge of murderous intent flowing.
âGood idea, once we find him, we can also eliminate that lad!â The First Elder said darkly.

In the forest outside of Blood Moon City, Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao finished a night of cultivation.
âXiao Xiao, Iâve suddenly thought of a way to save people.â The moment he slowly opened his eyes, Feng Wuchen began to speak.
âBrother Feng has a way?â Ling Xiaoxiaoâs eyes brightened instantly, and a joyful smile appeared on her pretty face.
Feng Wuchen nodded and said, âMy Martial Soul has the ability to Devour; it once even devoured Fan Shaoyunâs innate power at its source. A mere poison should be no problem.â
âInnate power is a form of strength, but poison is just a medicine. Can Brother Fengâs Martial Soul also Devour that?â Ling Xiaoxiao inquired.
âMy Martial Soul can Devour everything; itâs very overbearing,â Feng Wuchen said with a light smile.
âThen letâs hurry to Blood Moon City and try it out!â Ling Xiaoxiao said eagerly with a smile.
Even though he had just stolen the Mo familyâs map, Feng Wuchen wasnât afraid at all; Mo Zhengnan might not recognize him as the thief from last night.
The two arrived outside the quarantine area of Blood Moon City, where many poisoned cultivators were detained, each covered in blood like bloodsucking zombies, and there were also many dead bodies.
The scene was extremely terrifying and pitiableâa sight that would strike fear into anyone who saw it.
Even Feng Wuchen couldnât help but shiver when faced with such a scene.
Because there were so many infected, there were as many as three quarantine zones.
However, these quarantine zones were filled with the commoners of Blood Moon City, so no one really cared about their fate.
âItâs you two, leave quickly, lest you get infected. Donât come any closer!â The guard standing watch nearby hurriedly warned, seeing Feng Wuchen and Ling Xiaoxiao approach.
âNo worries, Iâm immune to all poisons,â Feng Wuchen said indifferently, not stopping his stride.
âHmph! Immune to all poisons? If you want to die, I wonât stop you!â One guard said disdainfully.
The other guards didnât stop them either, though some looked at Feng Wuchen with skepticism and curiosity.
âItâs that Alchemist brother! Young brother, please save me, I canât take it anymore!â
âLittle brother, please save my son, my son is not going to make it!â
âBrother, please save my wife! Sheâs about to give birth!â
Seeing Feng Wuchen approaching, the poisoned cultivators, one after another, wept and pleaded for help, incessantly clutching at the swollen red patches on their bodies, from which blood constantly surged out.
Looking at these suffering cultivators caught in dire straits, Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, âIâll save you all, no need to panic, one by one, please. I hope everyone cooperates, starting with the children and women.â
âThank goodness! We are saved! We are saved!â
âBrother, my son is in critical condition, save him first!â
The poisoned crowd, overcome with excitement, felt as though they were brought back from the eighteenth layer of hell to heaven.
The isolation zone was made up of a huge iron net, which Feng Wuchen broke apart with his bare hands.
The crowd cooperated very well, letting the extremely weak boy come out first.
The boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, was covered in blood, with not a single patch of healthy skin on his body, looking completely like a bloody figure.
At that moment, the guards of the various family clans overseeing the isolation zone, as well as the guards of the main city, all turned their gazes to Feng Wuchen.
The poisoned cultivators from the three isolation zones, enduring their terribly itchy bodies, watched Feng Wuchen quietly.
Whether Feng Wuchen could save them hinged on whether he could force the deadly poison out of the boyâs body.
Although it had only been one day, it felt like an eternity for them. No one came to save them, no one dared to approach, they were completely treated as outcasts, left feeling helpless and desperate, as though the whole world was engulfed in darkness.
Now a young man had stepped forward, fearless of the poisonâs contamination, set to rescue themâan action that moved the people immensely, bringing many to tears of joy.
Regardless of whether he could heal them, at least Feng Wuchen had the heart to do so, giving them a sense of warmth from humanity.
âBig brother, save me,â the boy cried out weakly, his eyes full of the desire to live, looking at Feng Wuchen.
Feng Wuchen formed a sword finger and pressed it against the boyâs forehead. With a thought, he activated the Ancient Golden Dragon Seal. The seal on the forehead twinkled, and a dazzling golden light burst forth, exceptionally blinding.
At this moment, Feng Wuchen appeared like a Heavenly God descending!
âMartial Soul!â everyone present exclaimed in shock.
âDevour!â
As the sword finger once again pressed against the boyâs forehead, Feng Wuchen let out a fierce shout, and a supremely domineering force of devouring surged out wildly.
The deadly poison within the boyâs body was devoured at a terrifying speed.
âIt really works! Worthy of the Ancient Golden Dragon Seal! You did not let me down!â Feng Wuchen rejoiced inwardly.
In just a moment, the domineering and terrifying force of devouring had completely ingested all the deadly poison within the boyâs body.
âMy body doesnât itch anymore!â the boyâs weak yet excited voice sounded.
With a wave of Feng Wuchenâs hand, a water snake coiled around the boy, cleaning all the blood from his body, and all the red patches vanished!
âBrother Feng has succeeded!â Ling Xiaoxiao cried tears of joy from not too far away, unable to hold back the crystal tears rolling down her cheeks.
âYour poison has been cured by your big brother,â Feng Wuchen said with a smile.
âThank you, big brother! Thank you for saving my life!â the boy knelt down and kept kowtowing in gratitude.
âDad, Iâm all right!â the boy excitedly waved to his father.
âWe are saved! We are saved!â
âFinally, the heavens have opened their eyes and sent a Heavenly God to save us!â
The entire place erupted in an instant, filled with excited cheers.
