Everyone stood at the side to wait for the Apothecary . However, the Apothecary’s face was getting more and more unpleasant . When he lifted up Junior Brother Liu’s top, he stood up in shock and stepped back .

“Blood plague… It’s the blood plague!” The Apothecary voice also changed .
Everyone froze when the Apothecary shouted .
There was a patch of red spots on Junior Brother Liu’s body . The red spots were getting clearer as his body shivered .
Zhou Xuan immediately felt cold sweat on his face .
Blood plague was an extremely fatal plague that usually broke out after a natural disaster in the affected areas . When corpses piled up and decayed, blood plague might break out .

Zhou Xuan was still worried about this, but he did not expect it to happen for real .
The disciple who helped Junior Brother Liu was taken aback when he heard about the blood plague . He fell to the ground and started shivering . “I… I just touched him… Senior Brother Zhou, I just touched him…”
The blood plague could be spread through physical contact . It spread very fast, and the whole blood system would be contaminated in a short period of time . It was very difficult to cure that . People who cultivate were more scared of the damage towards their spirit roots . At the early stage of the blood plague, the contaminated blood would corrode the spirit root . Even if the person were cured, the damaged spirit root could not be restored .
The spirit root was the foundation for cultivation . If it were damaged, the cultivation road would terminate right there .
Zhou Xuan could hear the buzzing sound in his head . He sighed in relief that he did not touch any corpse today . If not… he would be the person lying there .

“Apothecary, please help to take a look at the rest of my Juniors,” Zhou Xuan said and took a deep breath . His eyesight landed on Ye Qingtang .
They did not have much contact with the corpses today . Junior Brother Liu only touched the corpse once . The closest contact he had was the dagger he took over from Ye Qingtang, the one with the pus on it .
If Junior Brother Liu was infected by that, Ye Qingtang…
There was a trace of malice appearing in Zhou Xuan’s eyes . He might not need to eliminate Ye Qingtang by himself .
Furthermore… it would take a period of time for the blood plague to be fatal . He could ask Ye Qingtang to continue the investigation during this period of time . That would be the best ending .

The Apothecary did a checkup for the rest of the three people .
There were red spots on the arms of the shocked disciple and Lin Long . Their state of infection was much lighter when compared to Junior Brother Liu .
However, Ye Qingtang, who had the most contact with the corpses, did not have any trace of the blood plague .
Zhou Xuan was surprised by the results . He did not forget to go through the checkup, and luckily, there was no red spot on his body .
However…
Among the five people who came, three were infected with the blood plague . That was not good news . Zhou Xuan frowned .
Ye Qingtang was a little surprised when she saw the few not so obvious red spots on Lin Long’s arm .
There was no information about the blood plague in her previous life when the tragedy of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village happened .
However… why did the blood plague suddenly occur?
