Chapter 541: Miraculous Medicine

The old man waved his hand, with a bitter smile on his face: "No need, I've already gotten used to this place, and I don't have much time left. I just hope you can take this information and let the court and the various factions in the martial arts world prepare early to completely eradicate the evil forces."

Fang Yue was full of admiration and saluted again: "Senior's righteousness, I will remember it in my heart. Even if you say so, I will definitely inform everyone of the situation here after returning to the court. If there is a chance, I will definitely try to rescue you."

The old man nodded slightly, revealing a trace of relief in his eyes: "With your words, my old bones have not waited in vain. You go, don't delay here, the evil forces have many spies, I'm afraid they will soon know the changes here."

Fang Yue said no more, turned around and walked quickly towards the hall.

When he came to the center of the talisman array, he carefully placed the sealing talisman.

In an instant, the talisman glowed with brighter golden light, like a small golden sun, slowly rotating. The evil aura that was originally permeating the hall quickly retreated to the surroundings as if it had encountered a nemesis, and was suppressed in the corner.

After placing the talisman, Fang Yue carefully looked around the hall again, confirmed that he had not missed any important clues, and then used his light skills to rush out of the valley.

As soon as he left the valley, Fang Yue noticed a strange aura lurking nearby.

His eyes were stern, and he became alert secretly, slowed down his pace, and kept his hand on the hilt of the sword, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Sure enough, not far away, several assassins dressed in black and masked rushed out from the woods on both sides of the road.

They held sharp blades and exuded a faint evil aura. It was obvious that they were sent by the evil forces to intercept Fang Yue.

The leading assassin looked at Fang Yue coldly, his voice low and hoarse: "Fang Yue, today is your death day, don't even think about bringing those intelligence back to the capital!"

Fang Yue sneered: "Just relying on a few of you rats, you want to stop me? What a wishful thinking!"

After that, Fang Yue took the lead in drawing his sword, the sword body flashed with light, and rushed towards the assassins with a fierce momentum.

The assassins did not show weakness either, waving their sharp blades, performing strange body movements, and attacking Fang Yue from all directions.

Fang Yue displayed exquisite sword skills, sword shadows flying, and instantly fought with the assassins. For a while, the sound of metal clashing was endless, and sparks flew everywhere. These assassins were extraordinary and cooperated tacitly, and they were obviously carefully trained.

But Fang Yue had experienced a series of fierce battles in the old building before, and had more practical experience. He quickly found the gap between the assassins' attacks, found the right time, and stabbed an assassin's vital point with a sword.

The assassin was unable to dodge and was pierced by the long sword, falling to the ground and dying.

The other assassins saw their companions being killed and attacked more fiercely, but Fang Yue responded calmly, his swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and he defeated several assassins in succession.

But at this moment, one of the assassins took advantage of Fang Yue's unpreparedness, took out a small black bottle from his arms, and threw it at Fang Yue.

The bottle broke, emitting a pungent smoke, which contained paralysis. Fang Yue accidentally inhaled some of it, and suddenly felt his body slightly stiff and his movements slowed down a bit.

Seeing this, the assassins were overjoyed and took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack.

Fang Yue secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and hurriedly took a breath of vitality, running the skills, trying to dispel the paralysis in his body.

At the same time, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the attacks of the assassins.

After struggling for a while, Fang Yue finally suppressed the paralysis. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he shouted, "Your methods are just like this!"

As he spoke, he used his strongest sword move. For a moment, the sword energy was everywhere. Those assassins could not resist this powerful sword move at all. They were injured by the sword energy and fell to the ground.

Fang Yue panted and looked at the bodies of the assassins on the ground. He knew that the danger on this road had just begun.

He did not dare to slack off. After a short rest, he continued to rush towards the direction of the capital.

Along the way, Fang Yue slept in the open air and remained vigilant at all times.

Every time he passed a town, he would pay attention to whether there were any suspicious people following him.

In this way, after several days of running around, the outline of the capital finally appeared in front of him.

Fang Yue looked at the familiar walls and gates of the capital, and his heart was filled with emotion.

He returned with a mission and a heavy responsibility, but the people of this city still lived a seemingly peaceful life, unaware of the impending crisis.

Fang Yue walked quickly into the capital. The streets were bustling with people busy with their own lives.

The hawkers' cries and the children's playful voices were intertwined, full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

Fang Yue looked at the capital full of fireworks, feeling both relieved and worried.

He was relieved that the people could still enjoy this peaceful life at this moment, but he was worried that once the evil forces succeeded in their conspiracy, all this would come to nothing.

He walked slowly on the street, and the roadside snack stalls exuded an enticing aroma.

A stall owner selling buns greeted passers-by enthusiastically, and the hot air rising from the steamer seemed particularly warm in the sun.

Not far away, several children were chasing and playing, their laughter was crisp and pleasant, as if there were no worries in the world.

In the teahouse on the street, guests were leisurely drinking tea and talking about family matters.

An old man was telling an ancient story vividly, and the people around him listened with relish.

Fang Yue walked past the entrance of the teahouse, and the lively atmosphere made him temporarily forget the fatigue and tension along the way.

In a small alley, an old woman was basking in the sun at the door, doing needlework in her hands.

Her face was full of traces of time, but her eyes were full of peace and satisfaction.

A cat next to her lay lazily on the ground, occasionally stretching.

Fang Yue continued to walk forward and came to a market.

There were crowds of people here, and all kinds of goods were dazzling.

There were exquisite handicrafts, fresh fruits and vegetables, gorgeous fabrics, etc.

The shouts of merchants came one after another, and customers were choosing their favorite items in front of the stalls.

However, Fang Yue knew that behind this seemingly peaceful capital, there were dangers everywhere.

He must convey the intelligence he brought back to the court and the major sects as soon as possible, so that they can be prepared to deal with evil forces.

He quickened his pace and walked towards the palace, praying silently in his heart, hoping to protect the fireworks of the capital and the peaceful life of the people before the evil forces launched an attack.

Fang Yue rushed all the way and soon arrived at the gate of the palace. When the guards saw Fang Yue, they immediately saluted respectfully and then quickly went to report.

After a while, Fang Yue was brought into the palace hall.

Empress Zhu Linlang sat high on the throne. Seeing Fang Yue's return, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Fang Yue knelt down to salute, and then reported his experience in the valley and the intelligence he had obtained in detail to the empress and the ministers present. After listening, everyone looked solemn.

A minister said, "Your Majesty, the evil forces' conspiracy is so sinister that we must take action as soon as possible."

The empress nodded slightly, looked at Fang Yue and asked:

"Lord Fang, what good plan do you have?" Fang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should first strengthen the defense of the capital, increase patrols, and set up more early warning formations.

At the same time, according to the information in the book, send elite troops to destroy the strongholds of the evil forces in various places. In addition, we should organize people to find Lingxin grass and crack the evil forces' magic to control people's hearts."

Empress Zhu Linlang adopted Fang Yue's suggestion and immediately ordered to arrange various matters.

The court was busy, the army began to mobilize, and the formation masters also took action to arrange early warning formations. Fang Yue was appointed as the leader of the team looking for Lingxin grass.

He began to select suitable personnel and prepared to embark on a new journey. Before leaving, Fang Yue came to the streets of the capital again, looking at the still lively scene, and his heart was full of a sense of mission.

He secretly vowed to find the spiritual heart grass, defeat the evil forces, and protect the fireworks of the capital and the peaceful life of the people.

Then, Fang Yue led the team and resolutely left the capital and headed towards the unknown distance.

Along the way, the team led by Fang Yue moved forward cautiously.

They always remained vigilant and paid attention to any abnormal movements around them.

When passing through a barren desert area, the hot sun scorched the earth mercilessly, and the team members were exhausted.

But Fang Yue kept encouraging everyone to persevere and reminded them that they shouldered the responsibility of protecting the people of the capital.

One night, the team camped behind a sand dune to rest. However, just when everyone just relaxed their vigilance, a group of black shadows quietly approached the camp.

Fang Yue was the first to sense the danger, and he immediately woke everyone up and prepared to meet the enemy.

These black shadows were the killers sent by the evil forces, who attempted to launch a surprise attack when the team was most tired.

The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle, and the sound of swords crossing was particularly harsh in the silent desert. Fang Yue led the way and fought a desperate battle with the killers.

His swordsmanship was sharp and every move was full of power. The team members also fought bravely under his encouragement.

After a fierce battle, the team finally repelled the killer.

But they also paid a heavy price, and several team members were seriously injured.

Fang Yue looked at the injured team members, and his heart was full of guilt and anger. He was more determined to find the Lingxin grass as soon as possible. Only in this way can the evil forces be completely defeated and everyone be protected.

The team continued to move forward and finally came to an ancient mountain range.

It is said that there may be clues to the Lingxin grass here.

They climbed hard in the mountains, looking for any possible signs.

In a deep valley, they found some strange symbols and patterns.

Fang Yue guessed that these might be related to the location of the Lingxin grass.

They began to study these symbols carefully, trying to unravel the secrets.

After some efforts, they finally found some clues. It seems that the Lingxin grass is in a mysterious cave deep in the mountains.

Fang Yue led the team towards the cave. The cave was dark and damp, full of unknown dangers.

But they did not retreat at all, and explored forward step by step.

In the depths of the cave, they finally found a spiritual heart grass that emitted a strange light.

Fang Yue was overjoyed and carefully picked the spiritual heart grass.

With the spiritual heart grass, the team quickly returned to the capital. They knew that a final decisive battle was coming.

When Fang Yue and the team rushed back to the capital with the spiritual heart grass, the atmosphere in the capital was already extremely tense.

The early warning formation flashed with light, the patrolling soldiers looked serious, and the people also noticed the unusual atmosphere and were filled with uneasiness.

Fang Yue immediately went to the palace to report to the empress Zhu Linlang.

The empress looked at the spiritual heart grass, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.

"Fang Aiqing, you have made a great contribution this time. Now that the Lingxin Grass has been obtained, how should we deal with the final attack of the evil forces?" the empress asked.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, we should quickly organize our forces and use Lingxin Grass to develop an antidote to the spell that controls people's hearts. At the same time, strengthen the defense of the capital and prepare for a decisive battle with the evil forces."

The empress nodded in agreement and immediately ordered the leaders of various sects and important officials of the imperial court to be summoned to discuss countermeasures.

Amid intense preparations, the development of the antidote began rapidly.

At the same time, the capital's defenses are constantly being reinforced, soldiers patrol day and night, and formation masters continue to optimize early warning formations.

However, the evil forces did not give them much time.

Just when the antidote was about to be successfully developed, the evil forces launched a large-scale attack.

Outside the capital, a dark crowd was seen pouring in like a tide. They were the followers of the Tianxin cult.

The eyes of these believers were wild and crazy, they were muttering words, casting various evil spells, and attacking the capital's defenses.

For a moment, flames burst into the sky outside the capital, and all kinds of evil magic collided fiercely with the capital's defensive formations, making loud noises.

The patrolling soldiers quickly gathered and went into battle nervously but resolutely.

On the battlefield, the situation became increasingly tense.

Fang Yue immediately threw himself into the battle, waving his long sword with flickering sword shadows, constantly repelling the approaching cultists.

Fang Yue shouted to the soldiers around him: "Everyone, hold your position, we must not let them break the defense line!" The soldiers responded in unison, with high morale.

At this time, a formation master hurried over, and the other party said more: "General Fang, although the formation can withstand it for a while, the attack of the evil forces is too fierce, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long."

Fang Yue frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "We must find a way to destroy the source of their spells and disrupt their rhythm." Fang Yue began to observe the attack methods of the cult members, trying to find their weaknesses.

After some observation, he found that the spells of the cult members seemed to originate from one direction, where a man in black robes was commanding them.

Fang Yue decided to lead an elite team to raid the man in black robe.

He selected some soldiers with strong martial arts skills and martial arts masters, and quietly moved in the direction of the black-robed man.

In the process of approaching the man in black robe, they encountered many obstacles.

The cultists seemed to sense their intentions and attacked them frantically.

But Fang Yue and the others were not afraid and moved forward bravely. (End of chapter)
