Chapter 463 Miraculous Healing Methods
Li Yao never expected that he would encounter Jiang Qing, the man who had indirectly caused great damage to the Shu Mountain Sect, in the Wuhua Mountain area.
Of course, Jiang Qing had not yet entered the Demon-Locking Tower at this moment.
Therefore, the Shu Mountain Sect was not severely weakened by Jiang Qing at this time.
However, Jiang Qing's love for Yue Rouxia, the daughter of the Demon Lord, has already violated the taboo of the Shu Mountain Sect.
If the Shu Mountain Sect finds out about this, Jiang Qing will likely be severely punished by them.
Li Yao looked at the villagers around him, who were barely alive, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, what exactly happened here?"
Jiang Qing explained, "Recently, a plague has been rampant in the Wuhua Mountain area, and these villagers have all contracted the plague."
"plague?"
Li Yao frowned and shook his head slightly, saying, "I don't think so!"
Jiang Qing said in confusion, "But their symptoms are clearly those of a plague. Originally, only a few people here got sick, but later more and more people got this disease. What else could this be but a plague?"
"Didn't you notice the faint black energy gathering between their brows? Clearly, they've been afflicted by some kind of demonic energy!"
Li Yao pointed to a villager and said.
At the same time, he noticed that Yue Rouxia, who was standing next to Jiang Qing, had a slight change in expression.
Clearly, Yue Rouxia knew very well why these villagers had gotten sick.
"Whether they have contracted the plague or been afflicted by demonic energy, saving their lives is the most important thing right now."
"Fellow Daoist, I must go to rescue these villagers, so I will not accompany you!"
Jiang Qing seemed somewhat unwilling to say much to Li Yao.
Because he knew that Yue Rouxia was the daughter of the Demon Lord, he was worried that Li Yao would discover Yue Rouxia's identity.
"It's too much trouble for you to save them one by one!"
Xiao Bai smiled gently and said to Li Yao, "Husband, let's be good people today and save these villagers together."
"The way you're saying that makes it sound like we're not good people!"
Li Yao rolled his eyes at Xiao Bai.
"Oh, I don't see you as a good person at all!"
Xiao Bai pouted.
"Enough with the nonsense, saving lives is the priority!"
As he spoke, Li Yao made a hand seal, and with a flick of his hand, a jade-green pearl slowly rose from his hand and flew into the air.
This precious pearl is a healing artifact that Li Yao obtained in the world of Jade Dynasty. Although it is not very precious, it is more than enough to heal injuries.
Li Yao pointed, and a dazzling light shone onto the emerald green bead.
In an instant, the green pearl shone brightly, turning the entire sky a vibrant green.
A vibrant, emerald-green light bathed the earth and all the villagers.
Soon, under the astonished gazes of Jiang Qing and Yue Rouxia, the villagers' complexions visibly regained their color. They stopped groaning weakly and pitifully, and instead, they exclaimed with delight, "It's amazing! I feel warm all over and very comfortable!"
Before long, the dark aura between the villagers' eyebrows gradually faded until it disappeared completely.
One by one, the villagers stood up, their faces regaining their vitality.
Soon, all the villagers were completely healed under the emerald light.
"I'm completely healed, it's amazing!"
"Oh, gods, thank you for saving us!"
"..."
A group of villagers revered Li Yao as a god, and they all knelt down respectfully, kowtowing and worshipping him.
"Alright, alright, get up, I'm not some kind of god!"
Li Yao raised his hand, and an invisible force caused all the villagers present to stand up unconsciously.
The villagers were stunned, still exclaiming, "A god! A god..."
Seeing this, Li Yao was deeply moved.
These humans have truly been deeply corrupted by the gods, worshipping them to the core and willingly submitting to their control, unlike the humans of the Nuwa era who dared to confront the gods.
It seems that since Nuwa's fall, the human race has undergone significant changes, and the influence of the gods has completely penetrated into the human race.
What exactly caused this situation?
Is it simply because the human race no longer has the leadership of the goddess Nuwa?
Li Yao felt that there must be another hidden story behind this.
In fact, he held the gods in the world of Chinese Paladin in utter contempt.
The gods considered themselves of noble blood, superior to all others, and believed that all other races should submit to their rule.
In fact, apart from the Demon Realm, the other four realms are already directly or indirectly controlled by the God Realm.
"Brother Li, you are amazing! You cured so many villagers with just a wave of your hand. I admire you the most!"
Jiang Qing bowed respectfully to Li Yao.
Compared to Li Yao's amazing healing methods, his healing methods are nothing compared to Li Yao's.
"A trivial skill, not worth mentioning!"
Li Yao smiled slightly, glanced at Yue Rouxia, and said calmly, "I'm just very curious about how these villagers got this disease."
Yue Rouxia felt Li Yao's sharp, lightning-like gaze. She kept her head down, not daring to look him in the eye, her heart pounding.
She wondered to herself, "Has this person already discovered something?"
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Jiang, have you heard that recently, demons have been running rampant in the Wuhua Mountain area, and the leader of those demons is known as the Demon Lord?"
Li Yao looked at Jiang Qing and said.
"Demon...Demon Lord?"
Jiang Qing's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look Li Yao in the eye. She stammered, "I...I am new to this place and...I don't know anything about this matter."
Jiang Qing grew up in the Shu Mountain Sect and was mostly surrounded by Shu Mountain disciples. She received the Shu Mountain Sect's moral education on benevolence and righteousness, and her personality was very simple and kind.
Therefore, he is not good at lying at all.
Anyone with eyes can tell he's lying.
He is now in a very awkward situation.
He was a disciple of the Shushan Sect who always claimed to 'act on behalf of Heaven and subdue demons,' but he fell in love with Yue Rouxia, the daughter of the Demon Lord.
If he were to act on behalf of Heaven and eliminate the Demon Lord, he would inevitably harm Yue Rouxia.
However, if he ignores the situation and allows the Demon Lord to wreak havoc on the human world, it would run counter to his long-held belief in 'acting on behalf of Heaven and subduing demons'.
So, he really didn't know what to do!
"Yeah?"
Li Yao smiled faintly, his gaze sharp as he stared at Jiang Qing, and said, "I think you know perfectly well what's going on in your mind!"
"I...I don't know what you're talking about!"
"I have important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Jiang Qingxin was in a state of turmoil, her eyes darting around. She quickly grabbed Yue Rouxia's hand and hurriedly turned to leave.
Li Yao said calmly to the backs of the two men:
"Jiang Qing, didn't you used to live in seclusion in the Ice and Fire Cave on Mount Emei with Yue Rouxia? Why did you come out again?"
"I advise you to return to the Ice and Fire Cave on Mount Emei to escape this calamity."
"Otherwise, you will be separated by death and suffer for the rest of your lives!"
Chapter 464 The High and Mighty Gods
Although Jiang Qing and Yue Rouxia never looked back.
However, when Li Yao mentioned the Ice and Fire Cave of Mount Emei, they visibly paused.
Clearly, they were shocked by Li Yao's words.
Their seclusion in the Ice and Fire Cave was a closely guarded secret, known to no one else.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao knew all about it.
Just who is this Li Yao?
They were filled with doubt, but they did not stop to ask for clarification.
They were worried that their affair would be discovered by the Shu Mountain Sect.
"Do you think they'll listen to you and go back to live in seclusion in the Ice and Fire Cave?"
As Xiao Bai watched Jiang Qing and the other person's figures gradually disappear, he asked a question.
"I hope they will heed my advice!"
Li Yao sighed.
Don't be fooled by his ruthless killings and the blood on his hands.
However, what he couldn't stand most was two people in love ending in tragedy.
Whether human or demon, as long as they love each other and do not harm other people or demons, they should not be discriminated against, much less be punished by so-called divine retribution.
The so-called Heavenly Dao in the world of Chinese Paladin is no longer the Heavenly Dao in the true sense, but rather a Heavenly Dao controlled by the gods.
The reason why the gods forbid humans and demons from falling in love is simply because they are worried that if humans and demons get too close, it will threaten the rule of the gods.
"By the way, why didn't you mention these two people to me before?"
