Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

407. To Put the World in Great Disorder (II)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Liu Suifeng’s loud shout stunned Long Xiaoyuan and Shadow Guardian.

The Shadow Guardian reacted fast. Some of the Shadow Guardians immediately leapt out to stop Shi Qingzhou.

However, Shi Qingzhou didn’t hesitate to kill them when they got in his way!

Long Xiaoyuan was shocked. “Qingzhou?”

Liu Suifeng quickly arrived from afar and joined the battle.

“Everyone, don’t be soft on him. He will really kill you.” Liu Suifeng said loudly.

As he spoke, the Shadow Guardians who fought with Shi Qingzhou got fierce, but they didn’t dare to hurt Shi Qingzhou.

Liu Suifeng shouted again. “Surround him and create opportunities for me.”

Three more Shadow Guardians joined the battle and all the Shadow Guardians surrounded Shi Qingzhou.

Liu Suifeng found the opportunity and stabbed his sword through Shi Qingzhou’s back and quickly withdrew it.

Everything happened so fast. “Qingzhou!” Long Xiaoyuan exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Suifeng quickly turned to look at Long Xiaoyuan. “He’s fine! Don’t move! ”

After he spoke, Liu Suifeng quickly hit Shi Qingzhou at certain at certain acupoints and slapped the back of his head.

Shi Qingzhou spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Long Xiaoyuan rushed forward anxiously. Liu Suifeng shouted, “Don’t come over! Wait a moment! I need Fire.”

A Shadow Guardian hurriedly found a branch and made a torch. Liu Suifeng burned the black blood that Shi Qingzhou spat and then smoked Shi Qingzhou with the fire. After that, he carefully felt his pulse and said, “You can come over now...”

“What’s going on?”

Long Xiaoyuan ran over impatiently and held the unconscious Shi Qingzhou in his arms.

Liu Suifeng waved his hand wearily and told the other Shadow Guardians. “Those people are all at the valley halfway up the mountain and they are unconscious. I have two Shadow Guardians watching over there. You can go and bring them back.”

The five Shadow Guardians left after Long Xiaoyuan nodded his agreement.

The rest of them followed Long Xiaoyuan back to the palace.

Liu Suifeng entered the palace as well.

After putting Shi Qingzhou on the big bed in Qiankun Palace, Long Xiaoyuan immediately looked at Liu Suifeng. “Liu Suifeng, what’s going on?”

Liu Suifeng drank three cups of tea in a row and said. “It’s the Black Insect.”

“Black Insect? What is it?” Long Xiaoyuan frowned, and had a bad feeling when he heard the name.

Liu Suifeng pursed his lips, as if he was thinking about how to put it. A moment later, he said, “I’ll tell you from the beginning. Ouyang and I learned from the same master, who had a junior fellow apprentice. They were close, and they travelled around together, taking various adventures. As time went on, they fell in love with each other. But...my master’s junior fellow had a strange disease since he was young. Only special medicinal materials could suppress it. Otherwise, he would go insane.”

“When my master’s junior fellow was a child, he didn’t cause serious damages even if he went out of control. However, as his martial arts improved... My master developed high medical skills because of his junior fellow, who never got sick under the care of my master until they went to a mysterious land in Northern Barbarians, where they found a prescription that could heal his junior fellow. They were elated and started to study the prescription when they came back, managing to make the pills.

“It went well in the beginning. My master’s junior fellow seemed to have healed, but when I was nine years old, he went crazy one night and almost killed me and Ouyang, and even my master. At that time, my master’s junior fellow did not look human at all. His eyes were blood red, very horrible.”

Long Xiaoyuan’s heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Blood red eyes?

He suddenly thought of Shi Qingzhou.

No, no, Qingzhou was totally different from the master’s junior fellow...

“Although he didn’t kill us, he left. From then on, he disappeared, and we can’t find him anywhere.”

“My master went down the mountain and spent long time looking for him every year, but he couldn’t find him. Until my master was about to die, someone appeared with a token and a letter as well from my master’s junior fellow.”

“It turned out my master’s junior fellow didn’t die. He had been rescued and he was under a treatment.”

“My master was very happy, so were we. That man said that he wanted to take my master to see his junior fellow. We wanted to go with them, but that man said that strangers were not welcome in the place, so he could only take one person with him.”

“So my master left without us. When we met him again, our powerful master was a different man, who had grown terribly old. He brought back two things. One was the cremains of his junior fellow, and the other was the Black Insect.”

“My master told us that his junior fellow didn’t suffer a strange disease, but a Black Insect placed inside him when he was young. His junior fellow had special physical constitution, and he had been suppressing it with medicine, so he was not controlled by the owner of the Black Insect.”

“The owner of the Black Insect?” Long Xiaoyuan’s heart skipped a beat.

“That’s right, the owner of the Black Insect. My master went to Northern Barbarians and obtained the prescription because the master of that place wanted them to bring it back for experiment. Otherwise, my master couldn’t get the prescription at all. There were not many people in that place, and according to my master’s junior fellow, there were less than twenty people. However, each of them was evil, and they knew some evil methods. Besides, everyone there raised venomous insects, all sorts of insects. This kind of Black Insects is very ordinary. If the victim doesn’t have a strong mind, he will be controlled until he slowly becomes a zombie.”
