Chapter 109: Unknowing Fate
f ordinary people, yet it's difficult to break the limit of human lifespan.What sets practitioners apart is that they are physically healthy and strong, resistant to disease and able to approach their...Li Jin watched helplessly as Lao Gen Hu committed suicide.
The market on the western edge of town was always bustling, and he certainly wasn't going to miss it.
The older I get, the more I enjoy watching the excitement. Because life is too peaceful and uneventful.
As for Old Hu Laogen, this peasant old man, he has always looked down upon him, even after Old Hu Laogen became the head of the local administrative district.
He Li Jin is a serious, educated person!
Know what Dongwanggu is, understand roughly where Tenglong Realm is located. Understand the meaning of the Jiacheng City Lord's Seal.
Can these things be believed more than Hu Laogen's superficial knowledge
But Hu Lao Gen jumped down in front of them.
Such decisiveness, such finality...despair!
Although he always claims to have "accepted his fate" and knows everything, fearing nothing.
At this age, he understands best that nothing is more important than life.
He didn't want to die, he believed Lao Gen Hu didn't want to either.
But why did this old peasant have to die so tragically in front of so many people
People gathered around Old Hu's body, a mix of shock and fear, curiosity and confusion, chattering incessantly, a cacophony of noise.
“Go back!”
Old Li suddenly roared, grabbed a broom from in front of the liquor store and started chasing people away: "Get out! Don't you know about the plague You're all gathering here wanting to die"
"I'd rather die at home than come out here to harm people!"

Jiang Wang was almost certain that the plague was responsible for the large number of civilian deaths.
Xi Zi Chu said the worst outcome is nothing more than a plague. If so many people died, wouldn't that be the worst outcome Then what could be worse
At present, there aren't many good solutions, and the conditions in Qingyang Town are also quite limited.
His strategy was simple and brutal. He directly divided the townspeople, cutting off the transmission routes, and then, led by his extraordinary power, they went door-to-door to check each household individually.
Find and gather all infected people for centralized treatment, and isolate those who may be infected for diagnosis.
This is a very arduous task. The entire Qingyang Town area, with recorded individuals numbering 36,671 people.
And the current extraordinary powers in Qingyang Town are only possessed by Jiang Wang, Zhu Biqiong, Xiangqian, and Zhang Hai.
On average, each monk is responsible for checking over 9,000 people. Even with the help of town constables, the workload is terrifyingly heavy.

But this kind of thing can't be slow.

All of the extraordinary power within the Jiacheng city region was concentrated in Jiacheng. The extraordinary power of Qingyang Town itself originally resided solely with Hu You, the pavilion master, and his son, Hu Shaomeng.
Of course, there's a simpler way. If it's just about stopping the plague from spreading, send people to guard the four sides of Qingyang Town. Four extraordinary cultivators, each guarding one side, would prevent anyone from entering or leaving.
Once everyone perished, the plague in this place naturally disappeared.
Even, Jiang Wang could completely stand aside and do nothing. He wasn't from Qingyang Town originally, and it was already difficult to reap more benefits there. Leaving this place to Jiacheng or even Yang Guo to worry about seemed like the most "intelligent" approach.
But the world has become bad not because people are stupid, quite the contrary, often it's because there are too many smart people.
For example, Master Liu, for example... Xi Muran!
Jiang Wang clutched the Qingyang Town map in one hand and rushed to Liujiacun, the closest village to town, as fast as he could.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the village, he drew his sword without a word, met with villagers' scrutinizing or curious gazes.
The Milky Way spins and turns, the Dao Yuan madly destroys.

The blade radiance surged, and the sword shrieked through the ears.
With a single strike, a massive chasm was cleaved open at the village entrance.
Its width is about a fist, and its depth is over two zhang.
The villagers of Liujiacun had never seen such a powerful fighter! They were all trembling with fear and awe.
Ginger Wang has now activated his Dao Yuan, and his voice echoes throughout the village: “I am Ginger Wang, representing Qingyang Town Hall. I suspect that someone in this village has contracted a plague. For everyone's safety, all of you must leave your houses and stand at your doors for me to inspect. Anyone who conceals, hides, or refuses to cooperate will be severely punished upon discovery!”
"I'm only saying this once!"
No one dared to oppose.
The man who had rushed out of the house with a hoe after realizing what was happening, was also blocked by the villagers.
>>>
Don't even say it's just a check, even if they really come to rob you, they can only accept it.
To be blunt, if every man, woman, and child in the entire village combined their efforts to mince all the meat they could find, it still wouldn't fill that chasm.
And for Jiang Wang, this was also a way that there was no other way.
In the midst of a pandemic, he didn't have time to individually persuade them with kind words. Even if he was willing to speak kindly to each one, these people might not listen.
In the present, armed intimidation is the fastest means to achieve one's objective.
After making sure everyone in Liujia Village understood his meaning, he walked into the village and observed the villagers one by one.
It's not necessary to come into contact. The Daoist techniques enhanced by the Stage of Performing Arts, although they can't completely absorb the plague toxin, can still react and reveal hidden situations.
He went door to door, and even those who were hoping to hide under their beds were dragged out and slapped in public until their faces were swollen. He treated everyone, regardless of age or gender, the same way.
Fortunately, all the villagers in Liujiacun tested negative for the virus.

Jiang Wang dispersed the poison stingers and returned to the village entrance, pointing at the gap he had cut with his sword. He shouted to all the villagers: "Every citizen of this village, within ten days, you are forbidden from visiting other households or leaving the village! Anyone who violates this will be split open like this!"
“Do not be afraid, I have come to combat the plague. After this, officials will visit regularly. If you require clothing or food, please apply!”
Jiang Wang repeated the symptoms of the patient: “Anyone who finds someone with this disease can report it to the government. Upon verification, they will be rewarded with ten knife coins! If you find yourself suffering from it, report it in time and the government will provide unified treatment. Do not implicate others. Those who intentionally conceal and fail to report will be charged with murder and executed!”
After finishing his words, Jiang Wang turned and left, rushing to the next village without hesitation.
Time is of the essence, every minute counts, and we could save so many more lives if we started sooner.
He did the same in every village within the Qingyang Town domain.
If anyone is found to have contracted the disease, they should be isolated and removed. Warn others not to approach their household, and mark the village on the map as one requiring close observation.
All the infected individuals found so far, Jiang Wang had them placed in a forest, strictly forbidding them from moving. He planned to bring them all back to Qingyang Town after checking all the villages and have specialized medical personnel treat them.
But despite his repeated warnings, the sick caused widespread panic among the people.
When he returned to the plague center with three infected people from the fifth village, he found that two infected people had run away while he was gone and the rest were looking around nervously.
People's hearts were stirred.
Jiang Wang didn't say a word, immediately performed the art of pursuing thoughts with his magical techniques, and set off in pursuit.
How could two mere mortals possibly escape his pursuit
Across the mountains and forests, birds took flight in surprise. He quickly caught one with his hand and brought the two plague-stricken fugitives back to the gathering point.
In front of all the infected, Jiang Wang directly drew his long sword.
The blade gleams with cold light!
Two young patients fell to their knees, kowtowing desperately and weeping bitterly.
They were terrified of being abandoned and thought they would be gathered together and killed. That's why they ran away.
To be honest, this kind of psychology is quite normal and understandable.
"I understand your fear! But in this emergency, since I've given the order, you must obey. Because you are wasting not my time, but the time needed to save more people!"
It is understandable, but the law cannot condone it.
If Jiang Wang does not uphold his own orders, no one will listen to him anymore.
In times of chaos, one needs to employ severe measures. This isn't a period of utter chaos, but it is turbulent, not far off from it!
Jiang Wang slashed with his sword, severing both of his opponent's toes.
He ultimately did not kill them, choosing only to cut off their toes as a warning. This showed his determination while also not too severely impacting their lives afterward.
"Next time, I'll definitely kill! Don't test my mercy. I'm not choosing between reason and emotion, but between your lives and the lives of many more! Believe me, this choice is not difficult for me!"
Jiang Wang once again warned these people, having no time to soothe their emotions, immediately turned and left, throwing himself into the next village's inspection work.
Time was too tight, he couldn't possibly do everything.
>
Let them fear, or let them hate, as they will.
After all, they had already made a public display of their mourning and everyone knew there was no escaping it.

As long as a person is alive, these emotions have meaning.
Ten days!
For a whole ten days, day and night, without sleep, I tossed and turned throughout the various places in Qingyang Town.

Not only Jiang Wang, but also Zhu Biqiong, Xiang Qian, Zhang Hai and every one of them were like this.
It finally completed Jiang Wang's planned arrangements.
A total of 130 people infected with the plague in Qingyang Town were found and gathered in the west district. All residential and commercial buildings there were emptied, leaving space for isolating the infected individuals.
Even though they had all become extraordinary, they still felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Over these ten days, Dugu Xiao demonstrated extraordinary patience and energy. With the physique of an ordinary person, she accomplished everything Jiang Wang had assigned, whether it was clearing out homes, cleaning the environment, or organizing patrolmen. She did all of it very well.
After that, things became much simpler. It only required regular inspections of various locations, transporting newly infected individuals to designated areas, maintaining cleanliness and sanitation throughout the region, and providing essential supplies to ensure normal life during the plague outbreak.
Jiang Wang had already sought help from Chong Xuan Sheng through the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm, requesting that skilled medical cultivators be dispatched to treat the patients.
Counting the time, it will be in two days. Once a physician with extraordinary powers arrives, perhaps these one hundred and thirty plague victims need not die.
Having thoroughly dealt with the matter in Qingyang Town, and contained the plague within a certain range.
Jiang Wangcai took his sword and walked out of the town hall.
At that time, the sun shone brightly outside. He stepped into the light with one foot.
He slept at his desk, small and hunched over.
Zhu Biqiong and Zhang Hai were both lying on the ground, asleep. Zhang Hai was even snoring loudly with a smile on his face, who knows what kind of dreams he had, maybe he had finally refined his peerless divine pill.
Only going forward was there still a sliver of spirit left. Seeing Jiang Wang's murderous back...
