    “Ahhhhhhhhhh–“

    The youth was originally half-conscious, but after Xie Ren cut off his left leg, he suddenly woke up and screamed wildly, “My leg! My leg!”

    Xie Ren knelt in a pool of blood, his white clothes bloodstained, and fought to hold him down, saying, “It’s okay! Physician, stop his bleeding!”

    A few physicians were busy, Mu Yi couldn’t stand it anymore, said, “Don’t lose your head.” She came up and took out a small vial of medicine, light smoke flowed out, the blood slowly stopped, Xie Ren also gave the youth a layer of aura to the injury. As for the leg that was cut off, lying alone on the ground, suddenly slightly curled up, even after being detached from the body is still twitching and writhing, as if a living thing. Xie Ren raised his hand, the fire started, the leg was burnt into a black charcoal in the blazing fire, and the young man screamed miserably, “My leg!”

    Xie Ren checked the side of his waist and saw that the scar on his face did not climb up, his eyes lit up, and he said joyfully, “It’s done, it’s stopped, it’s not spreading anymore!”

    Only then did the young man stop his tears and open his eyes, “Really? Is it really done?”

    The crowd gasped in unison, dumbfounded. After hesitating for a while, someone yelled out, “Your Highness, please help save me too!”

    A teenager’s voice, however, blurted out from a short distance away, “Don’t mess around! Not always, what if he relapses after a while?”

    After being reminded by this voice, Xie Ren also calmed down and said, “Right. We can’t be sure yet, we need to observe for a while longer.”

    Some people fearfully said, “How much longer do we have to observe ah …… can’t wait any longer, any longer …… any longer this thing is going to grow on my face!” Someone else went out on a limb: “I’m willing to take this risk!” Not long after, hundreds of people in the Unseen Forest all said in a chaotic manner, “Your Highness, please relieve us of our suffering!”

    The crowd went forward and backward to kneel up to him, Xie Ren was offered by them in the center, although it was difficult, but he did not dare to be careless, saying, “Please get up first. If after a period of time, this person does not relapse, I will do my best to save everyone ……”

    After easily calming the crowd, making many promises, and taking the youth with the broken leg elsewhere to be accommodated, Xie Ren sat down under a tree. Mu Qi looked around before whispering, ”Why did you just cut off his leg? This kind of thing, if I didn’t beg you again and again, you shouldn’t make the decision. In case you cut off his leg and it’s still useless, you’ll be the one he hates at that time.”

    Xie Ren’s heart is still thumping wildly, one hand to cover his face, mute voice: “…… At that time, the situation can not wait any longer, he did not answer me, the physician does not dare to lay hands on it, can not just dry look at the spread of the epidemic poison, there has to be a person out of the clapboard to say in the end what to do. I really ……”

    Feng Xin had a rare look of worry on his face and said, “Your Highness, I think you’d better take a rest. You really don’t look too good, we’ll help you cover this side first.”

    Xie Ren also felt a bit unable to hold on, slowly nodding his head, he said, “Good. I’ll just rest here for a while, I’ll go back later, I can’t go too far.” At that exact moment, someone in the forest cried out again, so Feng Xin and Mu Yi went to see what was going on, and Xie Ren fumed for a while before lying down on the ground.

    If in the past, no one to build a fragrant tent for him, set up a bed of teeth, he is never so lying in the middle of nowhere on the mud, but now really do not have the energy to toss those laborers, he did not even dust dust sand and blood stains on his clothes, gray head and face fell asleep.

    I don’t know how long it was, in a daze, he heard Feng Xin calling him, Xie Ren jolted awake and rolled over, feeling something slip off his body, looking down, it was actually a patched and tattered blanket, I don’t know who had covered him up while he was resting. Xie Ren rubbed his brow and said to the approaching Feng Xin, “I don’t need this, you send it to those patients.”

    Feng Xin froze at his words and said, “Huh? What did you say? This blanket? It’s not something I gave you. I just came back a while ago.”

    Xie Ren turned his head, “Mu Ai?”

    Muoi said, “It wasn’t me either. Probably some believer who lives in the quarantine zone sent it to you.”

    Xie Ren looked around, not seeing any noteworthy silhouettes, shaking his head, thinking, “I actually didn’t even realize that someone was approaching, this is a really poor state.” Folding the blanket and placing it on the ground, she got up and said, “Let’s go.”

    He was walking with things on his mind. And soon enough, what he feared happened.

    Only two days later, when Xie Ren went to the Unseen Forest again, some physicians told him: during the night, a dozen or so patients with the sphinx epidemic ignored the warnings and secretly climbed up, some of them burned the affected area with fire, and some of them cut the skin and flesh with knives. There were several others, who had lost too much blood due to improper maneuvers, and were still smothered in their blankets, not daring to make a sound for fear of being discovered, and died quietly and unnoticed.

    Xie Ren had just gotten off the battlefield when he heard the bad news, standing among hundreds of people, looking at the blood-soaked, wailing and screaming patients on the ground, he finally snapped: ”Why don’t you guys listen to the advice? Didn’t I say that it is still uncertain whether this can eradicate the epidemic virus or not? How can you act so recklessly!”

    This is the first time he was so angry in front of so many believers, the crowd all bowed their heads and were silent. Xie Ren heart is really angry, can not help but say a few more words, said, coldly, a man said: “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not invulnerable to all poisons, the disease is in us, and not in you, of course, you say that we messed up. But we are not because we are really sick and anxious, only messed up, what is the law?”

    Although this person didn’t explicitly top him, his tone was eerie. When Xie Ren heard this, his blood rushed to his brain and he said, “What did you say?”

    The man shrank after speaking, unable to find out. Feng Xin didn’t hear it from afar, or else he would have immediately cursed, while Mu Qi saw that the winds of the crowd weren’t right, and cautiously chose not to aggravate the situation. Seeing that Xie Ren didn’t respond, another person added: “Your Highness, if you can’t save us, we’ll have to save ourselves. Don’t worry, we won’t waste your elixir and mana.”

    Xie Ren was hot blooded just now, but now he was like falling into an ice cave, thinking, “…… What kind of words are these? Do I care about those elixirs and mana? I am clearly afraid that amputation is useless before stopping it, why do you say it as if I am standing and talking without any pain in my back? I can’t experience these illnesses, but if I don’t really want to save people, why would I let go of my good magisterial position and not come down to make myself suffer??”

    In his life, he has never been stabbed with such words, and has never suffered such an aggression, a thousand words in his heart, but his mouth can not say a word, because he knows that it is because he has not been able to find out a way to cure the human face epidemic, so that believers have finally lost patience gradually, and the suffering of these people is one hundred times more difficult than him, and he can only clench both of his fists tightly, and his bones are clicking and clattering. In the middle of the day, he suddenly punched a tree to the side.

    The tree clicked and snapped, the crowd was startled, restrained whispering. In the distance, Feng Xin realized that something had happened here, and ran over and said, “Your Highness!”

    Xie Ren struck out with his fist, letting out a mouthful of pent up anger and calming down a bit. Who knows, in the dead silence, another person said, ”Your Royal Highness, you don’t need to be so angry. Everyone here is a patient, all of them are your believers. Everyone owes no one to you.”

    Many people secretly nodded their heads at these words. Although they all lowered their voices, Xie Ren’s five senses were clear, all the voices were heard clearly, and underneath they were all muttering, “Finally there is a person who dares to tell the truth, I have been holding back and not dared to say it ……”

    “Didn’t I say before that His Highness the Crown Prince was very gentle …… how come he’s actually like this in person ……”

    Amidst the sea of gushing human voices, Xie Ren unintentionally took a step backwards. For twenty years, he had not been afraid in front of any enemy, he was forever fearless, yet at this moment, a wave of similar fear swept through his heart. At that moment, he heard another person whisper, “With this kind of divine might, going to the enemy and spreading fire wouldn’t be such a grueling fight!”

    When he heard that one, he could no longer stand.

    He had never known that his current self was not at all like the martial god on the God’s Terrace who held the flower by the sword and smiled at ease!

    Xie Ren turned and dashed, running away and rushing out of the Unseen Forest, with Feng Xin and Mu Yi shouting behind him, “Your Highness! Where are you going!”

    There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and it seemed that a small caretaker had suddenly punched and kicked a few patients without a clue, triggering a round of tumbling and rolling fights. However, Feng Xin and Mu Yi couldn’t care less about this side, and drank in a few teams of soldiers to take care of the scene, closely chasing after Xie Ren to leave.

    He ran wildly in the direction of the dorsal slope, flying several feet in one step, and in a short while he arrived at the dense hilltop. Xie Ren’s eyes glowed red as he drank from the forest, “Come out!!!”

    Feng Xin said, “Your Highness! What are you doing here!”

    Xie Ren drank at the sky, “I know you’re there, get the hell out!!!”

    Mu love said, “If he can come out as soon as you yell at him, it won t be …… as bad.”

    The words came to an abrupt end. Because, all three heard a crunching sound coming from behind them. Turning around, sitting on a tree vine looking down at them, wasn’t it the strange man in white whose left face was crying and right face was smiling?

    I can’t believe it actually came out with a shout!

    Xie Ren lost her mind as soon as she saw him and flew up, snapping, “I want your life!!!”

    The white-robed man gently and skillfully dodged away, his wide white sleeves were like a pair of butterfly wings flying, beautiful to the extreme. Feng Xin and Mu Yi both “eek” sound, originally to go up to help, but hard to find something wrong, stopped the action, are a face stunned. Xie Ren, however, because of the heart full of anger did not realize what, long sword sheathed, Feng Xin shouted: “Your Highness! Don’t you realize, he ……” while Xie Ren had already pinched the white man’s neck with one hand and held the sword in the other, the tip of the sword against his chest. That white clothed man was clearly restrained by him, but suddenly hahaha’d.

    This laughter is bright and gentle, as if it is a teenager, Xie Ren felt very familiar, as if someone, but under the fury, for a moment, did not think like whose voice, just a trace of doubt flashed in his heart. Soon, the white-robed man sighed, ”Xie Ren, Xie Ren. No matter how much you struggle, it’s useless. You’re bound to lose, the Immortal Music Kingdom is about to be finished!”

    Enraged, Xie Ren drew her hand and slapped him, saying, “What do you think you are? Shut up if you weren’t told to speak!”

    To him, this was really an extremely rude move. The white-robed man’s head was deflected past him and turned back, saying, ”Do you really want me to shut up? Fine, fine. However, in fact, there is still a way to turn your defeat into victory, it depends on whether or not you are willing to do it.”

    If he didn’t add the latter sentence, Xie Ren would definitely ignore him. But he added the last sentence, and Xie Ren felt that there was a possibility that what he said was the truth. There was a way, it was just that he would have to pay a heavy price in a while. He took a breath and said in a deep voice, ”What method? Just say what you want me to do, cut the crap!”

    The white-robed man said, “Come closer and I’ll tell you.”

    Xie Ren said, “Good.”

    Feng Xin said, “Your Highness! You should not ……” but saw Xie Ren pierced the white man’s heart with a sword, bent down and said, “You say it.”

    The white-robed man whispered into his ear for a while in a very low voice, and no one could hear what he said. The more Xie Ren listened, the wider his eyes opened, and after listening for a while, he couldn’t bear it and slapped him again, drinking: “I didn’t ask you to say this! What I want is a solution! The solution!”

    The white-robed man said, “As I said, this is the way, it’s up to you if you’re willing to do it.”

    Xie Ren’s face twisted for a moment and said, “What …… do you really want to do? Who the hell are you?”

    The man in white hemmed and hawed, “Who am I, won’t you take off your mask and see for yourself?”

    Xie Ren had already had this intention, and as soon as he took off that half-crying, half-smiling mask. In the next instant, his entire being froze.

    Beneath the mask, smiling at him, was the face of a snow-white, handsome young man, with glittering eyes, smiling lips, and a look of infinite gentleness and humility.

    It’s his own face!
