Transmigrating into a Demon Spirit to Blow up the Entire World-Chapter 143.3
“The city of Jiuliancheng is the most important place in the country. Your Majesty not only attaches great importance to the citizens, but also gives full trust. Therefore, not only did this prince rush over without rest for several nights, but had also personally brought a large number of the best medical officers and medicinal materials in order to find a cure as soon as possible. However, I believe that the people of Jiuliancheng can survive and rise through this time’s disaster with unity of their wills and without fear from just a mere plague!” Yuwen Yin then looked around at all the people present here, with a gaze like a torch, bringing pressure but no anger, “But are your actions worthy of Your Majesty’s attention and trust? Have you ever considered the other people across the nation? How are you worthy to be called as citizens in my stately Dayu Dynasty?!!”
Yuwen Yin had a grave and stern expression, in addition to a powerful and resonating voice, with clear and distinct wordings. Which couldn’t help but make the listeners be convinced with everything he said. The little quilt’s train of thoughts suddenly drifted far away as he looked at Yuwen Yin.
Because he was the only one who watched him grow up step by step. From the Qi Wang mansion, where he tasted the coldness and warmth, to the deep and unfathomable Imperial Palace. From the loathing of his biological father to the poisoning of the main wife of his father, up to the selfish and paranoid Emperor Qing as well as the cunning courtiers. He had personally seen him face up to many turbulent undercurrents, various temptations, and thousand of pretenses. He has accompanied him from when he was a young, inexperienced and taciturn youth, until he changed into this young man, who can assume personal responsibility, in addition to being able to make decisive and accurate decisions, before him.
Maybe he can’t accompany him all throughout his life. But he believes that the other party will sooner or later set foot to the highest point of the entire dynasty.
But from the standpoint of the common people, to not be afraid of the oncoming death was one thing, but the desire to survive was entirely another matter. The plague has always been more terrifying than the extremely dangerous or threatening things in the minds of the people. But there were still some people who displayed their ignorance or dissatisfaction. Someone had even voiced his doubts out loud without any fear of death: “What if the cure can’t be found? Isn’t that also the same as trapping us inside this city to wait for death!”
“This prince is inside this city too,” Yuwen Yin looked at that person with narrowed eyes, then stressed out word for word: “If you die because the cure can’t be found, then this prince will die together with you.”
As soon as this declaration was vocalized, not only the whole city’s populace, even Chen Wu and Xiong Wei, as well as the other Imperial guards, stared in shock. Chen Wu promptly rushed to chastise him: “Your Highness, you can’t do this, ah!”
Yuwen Yin solemnly said nonetheless: “This prince has already made a decision. Starting from this day onwards, this prince will not leave this city or go anywhere until the epidemic situation is resolved!”
The content and charisma in this declaration of his, had also convinced those people, who had previously been dissatisfied. The populace’s thoughts was actually very simple. They don’t understand and don’t want to understand any complicated matters. But only want to live a simple and peaceful life. Therefore, wanting to win over the hearts of the people wasn’t a difficult task at all. There no need to say too much, so long as one can experience the joys and tribulations, as well as life and death together with them.
Everyone will die, and everyone is also afraid of death. But the important point was whether their death was worth the while. Now, all the people in Jiuliancheng County felt that it was worthwhile. Because even if they die, there would still be a superior and incomparably respectable prince to accompany them.
In the perspective of the common people, the Imperial family and the common people were like a cloud and mud*. But with a noble prince keeping watch here now, what is there still to be afraid of in this lowly lives of theirs?
*great difference in social standing
The scariest thing was actually not in fear itself. As long as one can overcome their fear, then they will become invincible.
After the riot had been pacified, Ye Yuanxing, who came out to look once more after having silently withdrawn to the side, wanted to take the lead to respectfully and cautiously bow to Yuwen Yin. But just as he had taken two steps forward, that person standing on the front left, who had obviously not been injured by the crazed horse, had suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
Foam appeared on his mouth afterwards, his limbs twisted, then what seemed to be blue veins suddenly appeared on his face, which actually looks particularly shocking.
“This-, this is the plague! It’s exactly the same as the person who died last night!!”
The crowd immediately retreated and gave way immediately after the spontaneous cry made by someone at the side. There was an indescribable panic on their faces, but not a single person rioted again.
Yuwen Yin and the little quilt also took action. The former calmly turned around to dismount from the horse. But the latter, on the other hand, walked towards the collapsed patient.
The little quilt was naturally not afraid of any plague due to his cultivation base. So, he quickly went to the patient’s side, then bent down and brought the person closer to him. The little quilt originally just wanted take a quick look at the patient’s condition first, to see what kind of disease it actually was. But didn’t expect to see the problem with just a glance.
He unexpectedly saw a small worm in between that person’s eyebrows through the use of his divine sense.
He hurriedly scanned that person from head to foot again, and found that there was only this single small worm existing in this person’s whole body. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch that person’s forehead. He probed in with his divine sense, and accurately caught that worm.
That was actually not just a normal small worm at all, but a Gu worm from Southern Xinjiang.
That small worm unexpectedly seems to have a consciousness. It had originally pretended to be dead after being scared stiff by the terrible breath brought by a cultivator in the Demon Emperor stage. But had instantly curled up and attempted to scurry off the moment it was caught. Unfortunately, although it could be considered as one of the most powerful poisonous Gu in the group, but in the presence of a demon cultivator in the Demon Emperor stage, it’s existence was nothing more than an insignificant and weak ant. Not only did it fail to escape, but it was also killed by Shen Tong in a moment of inattentiveness.
As soon as the Gu worm died, the dying patient that had fallen into a coma suddenly trembled, followed by the movement of limbs, immediately afterwards.
Shortly after that, the dark hue on his face faded little by little with speed visible to the eye, the twisted limbs gradually returned to their normal angle, the exposed veins also receded inch by inch, then that person’s eyes slowly opened afterwards. The person seemed to have completely returned to normal.
The crowd of onlookers had already been staring with awe from the moment that youth took the initiative to walk over towards the patient.
It wasn’t until that fully cured patient had sprang up to his feet did the crowd return to their senses. Their gazes directed at Shen Tong could not only be described as fervent, but with deep reverence and worship as well. Someone had unknowingly knelt down and shouted ‘Celestial Deity’ in a loud voice, which triggered everyone else to follow after, and kneel down to the ground in a hurry. They kowtowed and continued to loudly call out again and again.
“A Celestial Deity has descended on the world, we are saved!”
“Please save us, Celestial Deity!!”
“Long live, long, long live the Celestial Deity!”
