The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor

However, the burly man would never have expected that the person he tried to ambush was a Half-Sage!

Facing the incoming blade, Snow Sage remained motionless and coldly snorted, "Overestimating yourself!"

Snow Sage waved his sleeves, causing the burly man to feel a heavy blow landing on him as he flew several meters away. Blood painted the ground as he flew a distance before the burly man landed heavily and became silent.

On the other side, Wine Sage had also finished dealing with the demon men. He turned and encased the remaining three people inside powerful energy.

The three people did not expect things to turn out like that and were shivering in fear.

Wine Sage did a thorough inspection before nodding his head and retracted his energy.

"Looks like the situation is not good!" Snow Sage sighed. He turned to the three people and pointed, "Follow that direction to escape! Remember, do not come back in the near future."

The direction he pointed was the route they came from, these people would likely not encounter any demons along this path.

The three people displayed grateful expressions before dashing away.

"We need to hurry." Snow Sage said, "If that man's words were real. More than one city has likely encountered a disaster."

……

Less than an hour later. A stern-looking Wine Sage and Snow Sage stood at the city walls of Peace Mountain City.

Their vision was covered with scenes of rubble, corpses and blood. Not a single human was seen alive.

Due to its position at the border, Peace Mountain City could be said to be a prosperous place from the merchants, spirit masters, and locals visiting this area.

But now, it became the reason for so many of the deaths there as well.

This rather boisterous land was filled with a small mountain of corpses!

There were still some demon men roaming about aimlessly. When they saw the duo, they immediately charged at them.

The two elders naturally did not treat these demon men with any importance. They casually killed all of them and quickly left.

……

As they travelled through the foot of mountain range, their expressions turned uglier.

More than a few cities have been massacred.

A countless number of human deaths.

They would also occasionally encounter a large number of refugees who were still running and crying out in panic.

As for those who did not manage to escape. They volunteered to become demon men out of despair so that they can survive.

When the two Half-Sages saw this scene, their bodies filled with so much rage that it felt as though it would explode out anytime.

Lord Treasure Hall.

"Mother, Mother…" a child around the age of seven managed to utter those words after much difficulty.

A woman in her thirties cried out in tears of joy as she hugged the child, "Liang Liang, you can finally speak! Liang Liang, my dear son, you have suffered for so many years!"

Huan Qing Yan displayed a warm, gentle smile as she looked at the mother and child.

The child was mute for more than four years. After a month of treatment, he finally managed to recover his ability to speak.

Curing a mute of their condition was something Huan Qing Yan did before. At that time, she used rare spirit plants to finally cure her Brother Jiu Li.

Brother Jiu Li's situation at that time was much worse as he was born a mute. At that time, she only had the Basic Medicinal Food Room which only possessed one recipe to cure muteness.

With the Intermediate Medicinal Food Room now, there was a more extensive selection of cures for muteness. The ingredients required were also relatively simpler as well.

Huan Qing Yan chose the recipe that only requires ordinary spirit ingredients for Little Liang Liang. It was not because she could not bear to use rare spirit plants. It was because regular humans might not be able to handle the amount of spirit energy within rare spirit plants.

Now that she was thinking about Brother Jiu Li, she felt like it has been a long time since her last meeting with him.

Even at that time of her marriage, she did not know where to find and inform him. It was as though Brother Jiu Li had disappeared.
