Chapter 371: Eight towns
Many disciples of Azure Dragon Sect quickly went out to investigate the situation, and very quickly, reports piled up in front of Azure Dragon Lady.
The situation was even more serious than expected. In just a few hours, a large number of soldiers and civilians were killed outside Azure Dragon City. All of them were infected by a nameless plague and died of heart and lungs failure in a short time. Encountering Plagued Archfiend, average people who didn’t cultivate met their doom, even Daoist Master realm experts were unable to endure. Approaching even a little closer, they would be easily infected by that terrifying plague.
Even after dawn, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu was still sitting behind the desk and was personally browsing through intelligence report, presiding over the overall situation to deal with this challenge.
According to the reports of scouts, at least 50,000 people were killed inside Azure Dragon Prefecture in the space of a night. Some small towns became ghost towns overnight, and people stopped breathing during the sleep.
The wanton massacre of Plague Archfiend brought along a deep pressure and challenge to Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu who had just rose to power. However, at this time, Azure Dragon Lady displayed her mature and superb skills. Taking advantage of this crisis, she calmly eradicated the underlings and supports of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei. Many fellows who considered themselves the best in the world in former days were sent out to gather intelligence or hunt down Plague Archfiend, then disappeared from the world. Some died in the hands of Plague Archfiend and some fell into the ambush of Azure Snake Daoist Master, living corpse Old Han and others.
As for Ye Chuan, he was sitting at one corner of the study, slowly sipping a tea while watching the means of Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu. The latter wielded her power capriciously, she pretended to be a weak woman and calmly eradicated dissidents, and then grasp the real power step by step. This inwardly surprised him. Zhu Sijia was also good at organizing and controlling the overall situation, and she could handle affairs in a clear-cut manner, but compared to Azure Dragon Lady, she was still a lot more inexperienced. She was not sly and persevering like the latter.
If any other woman was in her place, then after suffering such humiliation of Azure Dragon Sect Master Long Fei for ten years, she might have also become sly and preserving like current Azure Dragon Lady. Without being sly and preserving, she wouldn’t have survived until now, waiting for such a magnificent moment of now!
Looking at dignified and serene Azure Dragon Lady who was busy bustling about from the side for a while, Ye Chuan felt relieved in his heart.
Sensing the gaze of Ye Chuan, Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked up and putting down the document in her hands, she walked over. Then, she personally poured a cup of tea and softly said, “Noble son Ye, I greatly troubled you.”
“It’s nothing troublesome, I have just been drinking tea, I have done nothing at all, so there is no trouble. On the contrary, Lady, don’t exhaust yourself.” Ye Chuan looked at Azure Dragon Lady who had not slept for the entire night, thus, the latter clearly look haggard, appearing very weak. But, who could think that such a weak woman had the skill to produce clouds with one turn of the hand and rain with another.
“What did nothing?”
Azure Dragon Lady Murong Feihu looked at Ye Chuan and her complexion became slightly red. Clearly, she had twisted the meaning of Ye Chuan. And she softly added, “Noble son Ye, I am very sorry, originally I promised to properly entertain you, but……”
“No hurry, no hurry, the future is long, we have plenty of time. Eh, Lady, I say……” Ye Chuan suddenly noticed that the more he spoke the worse it was, thus, he stopped speaking.
Azure Dragon Lady chucked and said, “Noble son Ye, I have a good news and a bad news here. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Good news, I like to listen to the good news, it would be best if there was no bad news.” Ye Chuan replied.
