Chapter 464: Chapter 464
"Kid, I advise you not to wade into these muddy waters; these aren't something you can handle," the leader said at that moment.
Ding Fan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He suddenly stretched out his right hand and with a space-seizing grasp, the leader-looking man hadn't even reacted before he felt as if he was tightly grasped by something.
"You... you..." the leader-looking man's face showed surprise.
It's worth noting that this leader was at the Human Level Peak of cultivation, yet Ding Fan controlled his body directly using a method that manipulates objects through the air.
To control someone with Human Level Peak cultivation would certainly require an overwhelming force. The leader-looking man stared at the young Ding Fan before him, unable to imagine how someone of such a young age could possess such terrifying cultivation.
"I am a member of the Myriad Demon Sect... Even if you are a disciple of a Great Gate Sect, provoking the Myriad Demon Sect will bring misfortune both to you and your Sect," the leader-looking man hurriedly declared his Sect affiliation.
The Myriad Demon Sect? Again, the Myriad Demon Sect.
Ding Fan was somewhat bewildered at this point. He wondered how the Myriad Demon Sect, notorious as the number one Evil Sect, was involved with Qian Jun.
"What is that virus?" Ding Fan activated his True Qi.
The leader-looking man immediately felt an immensely powerful force. Suddenly, he felt as if all the bones in his body were being crushed.
"Let go of my big brother!" At this moment, the thick-lipped man swung his fist and charged directly towards Ding Fan.
Ding Fan tossed out a Wind Blade directly.
Whoosh... The Wind Blade slashed through, and in an instant, the thick-lipped man was cleaved into two halves. Suddenly, blood and entrails were scattered everywhere.
The leader-looking man turned pale at the sight.
Only a powerful being with at least Earth Level Fifth or Sixth Grade cultivation can use a Wind Blade, meaning the young man before him had a cultivation of at least Earth Level Fifth Grade or higher.
The leader-looking man glanced at his bisected thick-lipped companion. He had intended to frighten off his opponent by mentioning the Myriad Demon Sect, but instead of being scared away, the other party had used a Wind Blade to directly kill his subordinate.
Actually, if the leader-looking man had known that Wu Fatian, the son of the Myriad Demon Sect's leader, had also been killed by Ding Fan, he would have been far from surprised.
The leader's son was slain, and now, these minor followers were even less of a concern for Ding Fan.
"I'll talk, I'll talk..." At this moment, the leader-looking man felt suffocating waves of pain.
From Ding Fan's decisive and ruthlessness, he could tell that if he didn't speak, the other party would definitely crush his bones.
"The virus fostered by Mu Qiangsheng, it's a mutated strain of plague..."
A mutated strain of plague?
Ding Fan's brows were tightly knit at this, recalling the countless lives claimed by the plague when it ran rampant and how it wasn't until this era of advanced science that a vaccine was developed to combat it.
And yet, these people were now cultivating a mutated strain of the plague...
"What about the major smallpox outbreak in Dancheng before, what was that about? Does it have something to do with you all?"
Ding Fan suddenly remembered what Mu Qiangsheng had said—how a major smallpox mutation broke out in Dancheng, leading to many deaths. Subsequently, Mu Jianjun, the father of Mu Qiangsheng, was isolated and investigated for dereliction of duty.
"That... that matter, I... I don't know..." the leader-looking man said.
However, Ding Fan did not waste time with words, increasing the force in his hand.
"Ah... I'll talk, I'll talk..." the leader-looking man let out a series of agonizing howls.
The leader-looking man felt as if all the bones in his body were breaking. He didn't dare reserve any secrets anymore.
Seeing that the man was about to speak, Ding Fan slightly loosened his grip.
"The previous smallpox mutation, indeed, wasn't committed by us brothers. I'm not clear on the specifics, but a while ago, Elder Wudu visited Dancheng, and the outbreak followed his visit. Therefore, this matter should be related to Elder Wudu," he said.
Ding Fan pondered for a moment before asking, "What is your relationship with Qian Jun and the Qian Family people?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Qian Jun's grandfather, who is also Mayor Qian's father, was once a disciple of the Myriad Demon Sect. After Mayor Qian's father passed away, Mayor Qian paid numerous visits to the Myriad Demon Sect. Over the years, Mayor Qian has provided many conveniences and funds to the Myriad Demon Sect, so they have always taken special care of him...
As far as I know, the last outbreak of the major mutated smallpox virus, as well as this time's cultivation of the mutated plague virus, were all Mayor Qian's ideas..."
Ding Fan had a hunch that the previous smallpox incident was related to Qian Shi Wang. Otherwise, how could one swiftly develop a vaccine to control the epidemic?
"What's the deal with Yuanfang Pharmaceuticals?" Ding Fan asked.
At that time, after Qian Shiwang took office, Yuanfang Pharmaceuticals developed a vaccine to contain the epidemic in a very short time. Therefore, Ding Fan felt that there was some connection between Yuanfang Group and Qian Shiwang.
"I don't know the specifics... We were only responsible for cultivating the virus, as for the other matters, Mayor Qian was the one operating everything on his own..." said the person who seemed to be the leader.
Ding Fan observed the man, and since he was under his control at that moment, he did not seem to be lying.
Even though the leader-like person said he didn't know, Ding Fan could roughly surmise that there was definitely a significant relationship between Yuanfang Group and Qian Shiwang.
If Yuanfang Group really had connections with Qian Shiwang, then Qian Shiwang should also know about the surveillance on himself last night.
"Ah..." Just as Ding Fan was lost in his thoughts, the leader-like person suddenly let out a scream.
Ding Fan was startled. At that moment, the man vomited blood and his eyes rolled back.
Ding Fan was taken aback and immediately used his Divine Sense to investigate.
After some examination, Ding Fan found the problem. It turned out that the man had a Gu Insect in his body.
Having researched Gu Insects for some time after Zhou Ruoran was infected, Ding Fan inferred that the Gu Insect must have been activated by changes in the leader-like person's thoughts, and that led directly to the man's death.
Thump... The leader-like person eventually collapsed to the ground.
"The experimental Gu... has indeed taken effect..." At this point, another person also spat blood and died miserably.
Ding Fan looked at the two corpses with some regret. He had intended to take these people to the media to expose Qian Shiwang's crimes, but now it seemed impossible.
Ding Fan immediately took a drop of blood from the body of the leader-like person.
Mu Qiangsheng's main soul was suppressed, and only by obtaining the blood of the person who suppressed Mu Qiangsheng could the seal be undone.
After collecting the blood, Ding Fan did not delay any further. After setting another fire to burn everything cleanly, he then turned and left.
"Continuing to keep this patient here is useless, I think you should transfer him to another hospital," a doctor at General Hospital said in Mu Qiangsheng's ward.
"Lao Chen, are you really saying there's no solution at all?" Ye Ningqing's aunt asked worriedly.
"It's not about whether there's a solution. We've already used many devices for treatment, but to no avail. I suggest you transfer to a bigger hospital to see if they have any solutions."
Doctor Chen, a man in his forties.
"I've also contacted some of my former colleagues from medical school and discussed Qiangsheng's condition, but they've never seen anything ..."
Ye Ningqing's aunt felt weak and her tears suddenly couldn't be held back. "Now with Lao Mu still under quarantine and investigation, if anything happens to Qiang Sheng, what will I do... Ah, my goodness... What am I going to do..."
"Auntie... don't be sad. My friend has already gone to find a solution. I believe he should have some way," Ye Ning said, trying to comfort her.
Doctor Chen glanced at Ye Ningqing, shook his head, and walked out. In his opinion, what Ye Ningqing said was just to comfort the patient's family.
Given that their hospital had so many advanced devices that couldn't even diagnose the condition, let alone treat it.
"Ning Qing... does your friend really have a solution?" Ye Ningqing's aunt clung to the hope like a lifeline.
"If even my friend doesn't have a solution, I fear no one else will," Ning Qing replied.
"Wuwu... cough cough cough..." Just then, Mu Qiangsheng, who had been unconscious for a long time, began to cough violently.
"Ah? Qiang Sheng? Are you waking up?" Ye Ningqing's aunt rushed over and looked at Mu Qiangsheng on the bed with concern.
However, Mu Qiangsheng showed no signs of waking up. For some reason, his face turned red and his breathing became difficult, appearing to be in great discomfort.
"Doctor... doctor..." Ye Ningqing's aunt became anxious. She ran out of the ward.
Ye Ningqing was puzzled at this development. Mu Qiangsheng's main soul was merely sealed, so why would he be coughing so violently now?
Soon, a group of doctors in white coats rushed in. Upon entering the ward, they expertly started to check on Mu Qiangsheng.
Oxygen, devices, were quickly connected.
"The patient's heartbeat is very weak, he might need surgery..." announced the doctor monitoring his heart.
