138: Evil Worm Infestation

Chapter 138: Heretical Worm Infection

He had seen many gold scrolls, but the gold scroll before him gave him a completely different feeling.

Perfect!

That’s right, it was perfect!

Whether it was the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the scroll, or the subtle aura of Law, everything gave a sense of perfection.

Just like the shock the Twenty-Eight Mansions divine scroll had given him.

Is this… truly a scroll that human hands can create?

Wu Xian slowly raised his hand, his entire being returning to reality from that profound state.

Four stars on the gold axis, 121 points of spirituality—everything was so perfect.

From ancient times to the present, great works have mostly been accidental masterpieces, and the Lord of the Sun Star was undoubtedly such a work at this moment.

With a slight thought, the scroll slowly unfurled.

A handsome figure in a crimson cloud robe, holding a feather fan, materialized in starlight, leaning against a starlight formation. Within the formation, countless points of starlight shimmered, connecting to form the constellation of the Pleiades Chicken.

The lifelike vividness made it seem as if it were the Lord of the Sun Star himself.

Just as Wu Xian was admiring the “beauty” of the Lord of the Sun Star, he saw the Star Lord gaze sharply at Third Master Xue.

In an instant, Third Master Xue’s hair stood on end.

Zzzzt… Several crimson thread-worms shot out from Third Master Xue’s body, frantically attempting to escape, but they were mercilessly annihilated by that sharp gaze.

“?!”

At this sight, Third Master Xue and Wu Xian were both startled and uncertain, suddenly realizing something.

“Third Master was also at the scene yesterday?” Wu Xian asked gravely.

Third Master Xue’s expression was volatile, instantly realizing the seriousness of the situation. “Quickly report to the Association and the Mayor!”

Without hesitation, both of them immediately informed the Association and all relevant parties of the situation.

In the video call, Chairman Cui’s face was more solemn than ever. “Damn it, I knew things wouldn’t be that simple. Quick! Immediately notify everyone who participated in the encirclement yesterday.

No, everyone who went to that area yesterday is unsafe!”

Upon learning of the situation, the Mayor’s office also reacted immediately, issuing a decree to seal off the entire Yaoyang City.

Soon, Yaoyang City once again plunged into the same state of panic as during the Dimensional Mirage.

“The Town-House Chicken King should also be effective.”

After handing a Town-House Chicken King to Third Master Xue, Wu Xian immediately rushed to the Ghost King Club to meet with Shifu-jie.

Xue Lingling was grave and anxious. “The Divine Power of those heretical worms secretly parasitized the people who were present at the time? How could this happen?”

“It only means the enemy is far more troublesome than we imagined.”

“Oh no, what about everyone in my Xue Family?” Xue Lingling worried.

“Don’t panic, Third Master has already rushed back to the Xue Family with the Town-House Chicken King. The Xue Family should be fine.” Wu Xian reassured her, “Next, I’m afraid Shifu-jie and I will need to work together to quickly produce another batch of Town-House Chicken King.”

With that, he quickly drew an authorized original and handed it to Xue Lingling.

Soon after, the Association also swiftly delivered the Materials needed for the Town-House Chicken King.

Wu Xian took a deep breath and hurried to produce the Town-House Chicken King.

Xue Lingling, meanwhile, carefully observed and learned the scroll crafting process for the Town-House Chicken King from the side.

Although a Master learning a scroll from an apprentice felt a bit strange.

But at this moment, Xue Lingling couldn’t afford to worry about such things.

This was her first close-up exposure to Wu Xian’s scroll crafting process, and the feeling in her heart was more profound than ever.

In the entire scroll crafting process, every detail was so harmonious, so naturally formed.

It was even much easier to understand than ordinary scroll crafting processes.

The more Xue Lingling learned, the more astonished she became.

In just three hours, Xue Lingling had a preliminary grasp of the Town-House Chicken King scroll crafting process. The rest was a matter of proficiency in the drawing aspect.

She then joined Wu Xian in producing the Town-House Chicken King.

“A copy is definitely too slow; let’s go straight for rubbings.”

The Association directly brought over a thick stack of high-quality drawing paper, aiming to make this batch of rubbings as high a Rank as possible.

As the two frantically made rubbings, batches of them were quickly sent to various parts of Yaoyang City by Association staff.

At the same time, bad news frequently came from various parts of Yaoyang City.

Many ordinary citizens had already perished at the hands of the heretical thread-worms, their deaths gruesome to behold.

“Hiss, weren’t we told that only those present might be infected? How are so many ordinary people infected?” Xue Lingling said with a grim expression.

“Currently, it seems that the heretical worms can spread through physical contact.” An Association staff member said with a helpless wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling couldn’t help but gasp.

“Fortunately, it was discovered relatively quickly, and the current situation hasn’t reached a point where it’s completely uncontrollable,” the Association staff member said thankfully. “It’s just that we still don’t know the true purpose of the Heretical Scroll Master.”

By evening, Wu Xian and Xue Lingling had already turned the entire thick stack of high-quality drawing paper into Town-House Chicken King rubbings.

With their hands free, they, like other Scroll Masters and Spirit Masters, joined the disaster relief efforts.

Xue Lingling, concerned about her Family, hurried back to check on their situation.

Wu Xian, on the other hand, was a bit worried about the Tang Family and the Shantytown.

“Uncle, Brother Tang, how are things on your side?”

“Temporarily safe,” Tang Zhenghong motioned for Wu Xian to rest assured. “Although Uncle is not a Scroll Master, he still has some strength. It’s just that the company side is a bit troublesome.”

“That’s good.”

Wu Xian let out a sigh of relief, left two Chicken King copies, and quickly departed, heading towards the Shantytown.

On the way, Wu Xian suddenly remembered something and pulled out a slip of paper from his cosmos sack.

Although he hadn’t needed their help much all this time, he was Old Master Wang’s old comrade-in-arms, so he should help him out.

Beep beep beep… The call quickly connected. “Hello, is this Grandpa’s old comrade-in-arms?”

“It’s been so long, I finally got your call, kid,” the voice on the other end said with a hint of disapproval. “You don’t have to worry about me. This Heretical Scroll Master is coming aggressively, but you, Little Xian, must try to ensure your own safety.”

“Don’t worry, Junior has his ways,” Wu Xian said politely. “By the way, do you need a Town-House Chicken King scroll there?”

“I ordered quite a few before, so I’m not short for now.”

“By the way, who exactly are you? And who is my Grandpa?” Wu Xian tried to ask.

“Regarding your Grandpa’s identity, it’s not convenient to disclose for now,” the voice on the other end mused. “As for this old man, we’ve actually met many times.”

“Ah?” Wu Xian was stunned in surprise.

“Speaking of which, I, as a Grandpa, am quite happy that kid Xiao Cong can befriend you excellent young people.”

Wu Xian was greatly surprised: “You are Old Master Wang?”

“Surprised?” Wang Fengnian joked. “In short, you can rest assured about my side. A mere little Evil God cannot do anything to this old man. The frontline army is already searching for the Evil God Scroll Master’s tracks.”

After ending the call, Wu Xian didn’t recover for a long time.

His Grandpa’s old comrade-in-arms was actually Old Master Wang Fengnian. This was truly… Amidst his thoughts, he had already arrived above the Shantytown.

This time, the Shantytown was not quarantined, but compared to other places, the Shantytown was generally more chaotic. However, despite the chaos, there weren’t many cases of heretical worm infection.

Looking at the “chicken king and divine tiger” pasted on the doors of every household, Wu Xian instantly understood.

The people in the Shantytown at this moment were just a little panicked.

A moment later, he successfully found the garbage collectors, including Huang Mao, in the chaotic Shantytown. And Huang Mao happened to be holding a Town-House Chicken King.

“How is the situation in the Shantytown currently?”

“Little Boss, you’ve come at just the right time,” seeing Wu Xian descend from the sky, Huang Mao acted as if he had found a savior. “Just received news that a brother’s whole Family has been infected, and his phone can’t be reached.”
