Chapter 467: Investigation
“What? You were cursed by a heretic cultivator?”
Dan Yangzi sized up Qin Chuan in disbelief.
Qin Chuan pushed his fringe aside, revealing the curse imprint on the right side of his forehead.
The dark green skin was very obvious, instantly pulling down Qin Chuan’s looks.
On the streets, if the girls saw this, they would probably stay far away.
“My goodness!”
Dan Yangzi’s eyes widened. He hurriedly leaned forward to take a closer look.
He measured it with his hand and touched it again.
“Tsk tsk! It’s real!
“I was wondering why you suddenly covered your forehead.
“Weren’t you at the headquarters? How did you end up provoking a heretic cultivator?”
Dan Yangzi’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
Qin Chuan briefly explained.
Dan Yangzi patted Qin Chuan’s shoulder and sighed. “Then you’re finished!
“According to what I know, this heretic cultivator’s curse contains the Law of Karma. It’s very difficult to remove.
“The only ones who could resolve it are the mighty figures or accomplished monks who cultivate the Law of Karma.
“However, the number of mighty figures who could cultivate the Law of Karma can be counted on one hand.
“So you can only find an eminent monk.
“However, these monks have strange tempers. It’ll probably be very difficult too.”
Qin Chuan smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry about that.
“I have a good brother who is already approaching eminent monks for me.”
Dan Yangzi was taken aback and instantly recalled who it was.
“Good brother? Your sworn brother?”
Qin Chuan nodded. “Actually, I don’t understand why he treats me so well.”
“Does he think you look like his long-lost younger brother?”
“Perhaps!”
Qin Chuan didn’t think too much into it.
His intuition told him that Lan Lang was treating him so well, not because he had other motives. It was just like how he treated his disciples in the sect. He did not need them to do anything for him.
Or perhaps it was as Dan Yangzi had said.
The next day.
At dawn, Qin Chuan woke Dan Yangzi up.
“I say, Sect Master Qin, it’s so early in the morning. Just because you don’t want to sleep early doesn’t mean others don’t,” Dan Yangzi complained.
Qin Chuan kicked Dan Yangzi. “You’re an immortal cultivator. Get up quickly and make a trip with me to the secular world.”
Dan Yangzi was shocked. “What? To the secular world? What are you doing there?”
Qin Chuan said seriously, “I’m quite interested in the strange illness you mentioned last night.
“Now that I’m cursed cultivating will be in vain. I don’t know how long it will take for Lan Lang to return.
“In any case, I’ll be idle. Why don’t we take a look at the secular world?”
Dan Yangzi said angrily, “If you want to go, you can go alone, why must you drag me along?”
“It’s because we have a good relations.h.i.+p!” Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
“Ugh! You disgust me!” Dan Yangzi deliberately made a vomiting gesture.
“Then are you coming or not?” Qin Chuan’s expression turned solemn, and he raised his voice.
“I am! But let me catch up on my sleep first.”
Dan Yangzi grabbed the blanket and covered himself.
…
After about half an hour later.
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi flew on their swords toward the secular world.
There were a total of three continents and millions of islands of various sizes.
The sizes of each of the three continents were similar. Each continent was about 300 million square kilometers in area. This was even larger than all the continents on Earth combined.
Mega Planet had a population of about 20 billion.
The ratio of cultivators here wasn’t as high as he had imagined. Out of about 10 thousand people, only one would have the apt.i.tude to cultivate.
The reason for this was not because there was insufficient spiritual energy but because the will of the Heavenly Dao was too powerful and needed to control humans to cultivate.
Cultivation was a heaven-defying act.
If humans were allowed to cultivate, wouldn’t they be lording over the Heavenly Dao in the future?
Wouldn’t the Heavenly Dao lose face?
Therefore, the better the environment for cultivation, the more oppressive the Heavenly Dao would be.
But the ordinary people here were not to be underestimated. If they were placed on Earth and allowed to partic.i.p.ate in the Olympics, they would be the world champion anytime.
The secular world of Mega Planet was managed by three dynasties.
There were many smaller countries under the dynasties.
There were often conflicts between small countries, but these three dynasties remained standing.
This was because the backer of these three dynasties was the Luo Ding Sect.
Luo Ding Sect was the true ruler of this planet.
They could decide who they wanted to be in charge.
Of course, they had no time to partic.i.p.ate in the secular world’s order.
As long as there was no chaos in the world, sects would generally not intervene.
Now that such a rare and strange illness had appeared in the secular world, the symptoms of the infection caught the attention of the Luo Ding Sect.
In the sky.
Dan Yangzi’s expression was serious as he tried to persuade him. “Old Qin, curiosity is a good thing, but it will also bring you danger.
“Let me remind you first. You must not get close to people who have contracted the strange illness. ”
“Mm! I know what I’m doing.” Qin Chuan nodded.
According to Dan Yangzi’s description of the strange illness last night, Qin Chuan thought for a night and decided to check if it was really a zombie virus.
If it was really the zombie virus, then the entire Immortal realm would be in danger.
According to the zombie novels, if there was a zombie virus, it would undoubtedly bring an apocalypse.
…
Before long,
the two of them arrived above a city.
This city was called Mingyang City. There were more than a million citizens living in it, and it was a large city.
Looking down from the sky, the streets in the city were crisscrossed with tall buildings and rows of buildings. It could be said to be quite prosperous.
But now, the streets were empty. The roads were a mess. Some houses had a hole on one side and the other as if they had been through a war.
Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi slowly descended. The entire city was dead silent, like a ghost town.
When they reached a certain height, ripples appeared beneath their feet.
They had touched the barrier wall.
At this moment, several disciples of the Luo Ding Sect flew over from the city tower.
These disciples of the Luo Ding Sect did not have very high cultivation levels. They were around the Soul Splitting realm.
When they saw that Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi were wearing the robes of the disciplinary office and exuding a powerful aura, their att.i.tudes instantly became exceptionally respectful.
Dan Yangzi flashed his disciple token. “The two of us are from the disciplinary office. On the orders of the elders, we came to check on the situation here.”
Without much thought, these disciples immediately removed the barrier.
When they arrived inside the barrier, the dead silence became even stronger.
Then, Qin Chuan and Dan Yangzi followed these disciples to the city tower.
A disciple asked, “May I know how to address you both?”
“My surname is Dan, and his surname is Qin.”
“Senior Brother Dan, Senior Brother Qin.” These disciples bowed to them.
Dan Yangzi asked, “Where are the residents?”
A disciple said, “Senior Brother, the civilians in the city have been transferred underground two days ago.”
“Any infected ones?” asked Dan Yangzi.
A disciple replied, “Not for now.
“But we cannot be sure whether there will be an outbreak or not.
“Even if we move everyone to a safe place, there will still be people who will inexplicably get infected with this strange illness.”
Qin Chuan looked at Dan Yangzi and transmitted his voice, “This is the situation?”
Dan Yangzi shrugged. “I was in charge of the most serious area. Who knows about this?”
“In that case, this strange illness has latent properties.” Qin Chuan concluded.
“Latency?” Dan Yangzi was stunned. “That’s bad. Who knows if anyone has already been infected?”
After pondering for a moment, he asked the disciples, “Where are these civilians underground?”
