"snort!"

Yan Jinghong snorted coldly, immediately lifted the ice, crossed his arms, and stood aside with a cold expression.

The matter of negotiating with these mortals naturally fell on Ling Feng.

Ling Feng cursed in his heart, this guy really knows how to pretend to be cool!

Shaking his head and smiling, Ling Feng waved his hand towards the kneeling mortals, and a soft force lifted everyone up, and said warmly: "This place is trapped by a barrier, and a plague is raging. It seems that there are strong immortal cultivators deliberately here.

This is a trap set up to drive out the people here."

The leader was not too surprised. It was obvious that he had heard such arguments before and also knew some of the hidden secrets.

"Several immortal masters who stayed in the city to treat us also said the same thing."

A middle-aged man with a sallow face sighed: "But what's the use? It's been three years, three whole years! They can't cure our plague at all!"

Another man with a Chinese character face cursed loudly: "In this year, how many families have been destroyed and how many people have died on the streets! What bullshit immortal cultivators only bully us mortals!"

The leader of the old man quickly stopped the others from complaining and knelt down again, "Master Immortal, we really can't bear it any longer. I wonder if you can give... some charity..."

"City Lord, do you still need to beg them?"

At this moment, behind the crowd, a young man was seen leaning on a stone pillar, as if he was too hungry to stand up anymore.

The young man was dressed in rags, and through the tattered clothes, his frighteningly thin body could be clearly seen.

The entire body has almost become skin and bones, and under the thin layer of skin, the traces of each rib are clearly printed.

This can no longer be described as thin.

The most terrifying thing about the plague was that it not only tortured the human body, but also turned the land into a place of death.

If the soil is no longer fertile, nothing can grow.

Coupled with the obstruction of the barrier, it is impossible to obtain materials from the outside world.

In three years, more of the people in this city will probably starve to death.

Even though these people in front of you are all ragged and unkempt, they are actually wealthy and aristocratic people with dignity and status in the city.

Otherwise, if it weren't for some food stored at home, I might not be alive now.

And the rickety old man at the head was actually the lord of Ishihara City.

This was something Ling Feng didn't expect.

"Hahaha……"

The young man made a weak and intermittent voice, "Anyway, it won't be long before they become like us, and they will become just like us! Haha...hahaha..."

"Xue An, what are you talking about!"

The old city lord's eyes were full of panic. He quickly stopped the young man and explained with an anxious look: "Master Immortal, Master Immortal, please don't believe his lies. He...he said nonsense, he

That’s nonsense!”

"Whether it's nonsense or not, I'll have a way of knowing."

Ling Feng's eyes flashed, falling on the old city lord. The old city lord was obviously a little guilty and quickly looked away.

In fact, with the strength of this barrier, even an ordinary powerful Immortal Lord may never come back.

The young man named Xue An must have seen some outside immortal cultivators who were also trapped and died in the city.

The reason why the old city lord stopped Xue An and stopped him from talking was probably because he was afraid that after Ling Feng and the others heard about it, they wouldn't give away the food they had.

Ling Feng directly passed the old city lord, walked to Xue An, squatted down, and said calmly: "Xue An? What did you want to say just now? Go on."

"Xue An!"

The old city lord was leaning on a cane and staring at Xue An with a sinister expression, "You...you have to be careful what you say, don't talk nonsense!"

"Noisy!"

Ling Feng frowned, turned around and glared at the old city lord, and said coldly: "Have I asked you anything? Dare you say another word..."

Ling Feng looked at Yan Jinghong and said coldly: "Brother Yan, if anyone keeps nagging you later, he will be frozen! He will freeze to death!"

"Um!"

Yan Jinghong nodded indifferently, but he couldn't help cursing in his heart: What the hell, are you really treating me as a thug?

"Xue An, you can continue talking now. Let me see who dares to interrupt you again."

There was a hint of threat in Ling Feng's voice, and the old city lord also retracted his neck, not even daring to take another look in this direction.

Xue An took a deep breath, managed to muster some strength, and gritted his teeth and said: "The more you are a cultivator, the faster and more severe the attack will be after being infected with the plague! When you fall ill, when you are unable to resist, by that time

, what do you think they will do to you? Not to mention you, even the immortal master who stayed to treat their illness, they can turn their backs and deny anyone."

Xue An sneered, "Now, do you still want to share the food on your body? Give it to these shameless beasts?"

"Is that so?"

Ling Feng smiled faintly and looked back at those disheveled mortals.

Led by the city lord, everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Obviously, they acquiesced in Xue An's words.

Human nature is mostly like this.

In the face of the instinct of survival, everything else, the so-called benevolence, justice and morality, will be abandoned.

Ling Feng patted Xue An's shoulder gently, "Little brother, thank you for reminding me. But don't worry, I won't fall ill that easily."

He poured a life force into Xue An's body, allowing his complexion to regain some vitality.

Xue An glanced at Ling Feng in surprise, "You..."

"I can understand the feeling of starvation and the feeling of being on the verge of death. In that state, no matter how noble a person is, he may lose his mind and turn into a devil."

Ling Feng's gaze swept across the crowd and said lightly: "What a coincidence, I am also a doctor, and what a coincidence, I also like to meddle in other people's business!"

For a moment, a glimmer of hope rose in everyone's eyes.

Even if it's just a glimmer of opportunity, even if Ling Feng might just be deceiving them.

They are also willing to believe Ling Feng.

Because they want to live so much.

"So, I need your cooperation."

Ling Feng smiled faintly and finally stated his purpose.

He could basically confirm in his heart that the person who caused this plague must be related to the person behind the Tianfang Imperial Master.

After all, whether it was the plague or the method of turning the old ruler of the Beirong Kingdom into a demon, it was not something that ordinary poison masters could do.

These methods are so evil, vicious, and weird!

It’s basically the same person!

If so, it would be simple.

And Yan Jinghong targeted the person who killed Tianfang Imperial Master, who was probably nearby.

What is the purpose of that person creating a plague here and trapping people in a city?

Ling Feng is unknown.

But since there is a connection between the two, Ling Feng can't just sit back and watch.

What's more, as a doctor, Ling Feng cannot do anything to save the people of this city.

"Cooperate, absolutely cooperate!"

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the people of Shiyuan City will naturally not give up.

"good."

Ling Feng nodded slightly, "Did you see other people entering the city earlier?"

"this……"

The old city lord shook his head, "There doesn't seem to be any at the city gate, but there are several other places where you can enter the city. I can ask someone to go to those places to inquire for you. Maybe there will be news."

"Um!"

Ling Feng cast an approving look at the old city lord. After all, he had been a city lord before, so he really knew how to do things and had a good eye.

"Also, where is the immortal master you said stayed to treat you now?"

Ling Feng continued to ask.

"Over there in the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion..."

The old city lord felt a little guilty, "I...we were also very hungry, so that's why we did things that were worse than animals..."

"Okay, I said let's forget about it, so there's no need to mention it again."

Ling Feng's expression turned cold and he said calmly: "Send someone to take me there to take a look!"
