Chapter 1260: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Two: Trapped in a Formation Chapter 1260: Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Two: Trapped in a Formation “The time for you to make a decision has come.”

Tang Luo grasped Yun Xiu’s shoulders, speaking earnestly, “Our only option is to establish a quarantine zone, to gather all the uninfected citizens, and then select martial warriors to set up checkpoints to control traffic and prevent the epidemic from entering. Only then can we save as many people as possible.”

“How many can we save?”

“Eighty thousand… maybe a hundred thousand.”

“There are ten million people in Chaochang!”

“We never had the means to save everyone.”

Tang Luo said helplessly, “We lack manpower and medicine. The situation at East Market is already the best among the Lower City Districts! But as you have seen, with more and more people entering this area, a large amount of the epidemic’s miasma will be brought in. If an infection occurs again, by that time it will be too late.”

“Is this really the only way? Is there no other option?”

“You understand medicine, you should be clearer than I am about the consequences if patients from other districts wander here. This epidemic was never something a few individuals could turn around, unless we could persuade the noble families to open their clean water sources and take in people not yet infected with the epidemic. Perhaps that way we could save more lives. But no matter what, we need to first take care of those in East Market who have already been treated.”

Tang Luo took out a map, pointing to a vast area originally part of East Market, “Corpse Monk has already had several from Blood Tower clear this entire area. If we guard the few alley entrances, this area can become an excellent quarantine zone. Selecting a few medics and warriors to set up checkpoints for inspections, we can then free up our hands to go ‘persuade’ the noble families. What do you think?”

“Fine, let’s do it that way. I’ll go and talk to the people outside!”

In the face of an epidemic that had spread across the entire territory of Chaochang, the notion to save everyone was already a joke. Only by doing our utmost to save people could we live without guilt.

Ironically, amidst this rampant epidemic in Chaochang, the wealthy families who had made a fortune here had all packed up and left, leaving only a handful of people in the city to save lives.

Among them, the main force was none other than those deemed as the leaders of the demonic path by Wang Patrol–the Corpse Protector from Ancient Blood Tower–a bitter irony indeed.

But Tang Luo and Gu Han, who were wholly focused on treating the epidemic-stricken refugees at the moment, did not realize that an ambush specifically targeting the two of them was silently brewing.

Just as the quarantine zone at East Market had been fully established, and Tang Luo found Gu Han to discuss how to “persuade” the noble families, spires of ice mirror surfaced on the ground and drizzles of cold rain descended from above, trapping the two within the formation.

After a long while, the person who had laid out the formation finally appeared. It was the smug Wang Chang, along with Lu Shaolin and two other masters from Yulin Pavilion.

“With three Yulin Pavilion masters joining forces, using the Zhou Tian Starlight Descent Formation, such an arrangement is a treatment not even Dapeng Grandmaster has received.”

Wang Chang said with a beaming smile to the two trapped inside the formation, “Gou Chen, no matter how rare the Undying Bloodline is, now that you are trapped in the Ice Torrent Formation, what kind of waves can you possibly stir up?”

As Yulin Pavilion’s signature formation, after being refined by several generations of extraordinarily gifted martial artists, it had become extremely terrifying. With Lu Shaolin and the other two deploying it, it was as inconspicuous as the presence of antelope horns, nearly undetectable. Even Tang Luo, who was exceptionally sensitive to Spiritual Power, had been trapped within the formation by the time he reacted.

“`

But this didn’t mean he was without the power to fight back; being able to see the flow of Spiritual Power, he naturally had a way to break the formation and get out, but facing three grandmasters lying in wait, along with the tiger-like vigilance of the elite forces from the Forest Department, Tang Luo knew that even if he broke out of the formation, escape was unlikely.

After all, Lu Shaolin and the two grandmasters behind him were not ordinary masters like those from the Xiang Family. Even if the battle shifted to a void battlefield, it would probably be just a one-sided beating.

Under normal circumstances, facing such a life-threatening situation, Tang Luo should have been very tense, but at that moment, he felt surprisingly calm, even clapping his hands with a smile, “Good, very good! These days I’ve been wondering where the people of Yulin Pavilion had gone. Facing an epidemic that affects all of Chaochang, how did the grandmasters who claim to be the righteous path of Longzhou become such shrinking turtles? It turns out that to you, I am more important than the millions of common people in Chaochang, good, very good!”

The ice spikes of the Yulin Great Formation trembled, and Lu Shaolin and his two companions exchanged glances, casting their eyes toward Wang Chang.

Before coming here, they indeed knew that an epidemic had broken out in Chaochang, but their understanding of the epidemic was not concrete. However, having just passed through and seen the tragic scenes on the streets, with the once prosperous and clean Chaochang now stinking to high heavens, they were also puzzled and had countless questions to ask Wang Chang for clarification.

But what could Wang Chang explain? The elite forces of the Forest Department had indeed reported the epidemic in Chaochang, but for him, eradicating the Devil Lord with the Undying Bloodline was the top priority.

As for the epidemic in Chaochang, it was just a matter of suppressing it a couple of days later. With him and the masters from Yulin Pavilion here, what was there to fear? “Master Shaolin, do not be deceived by his trickery. He is just trying to buy time. Let’s quickly execute this scoundrel, then find a way to suppress the epidemic!”

Wang Chang urged in a low voice, but Tang Luo heard every word clearly.

“You couldn’t find ‘a darn thing’!”

The trapped Tang Luo sneered at Wang Chang, “Where is the source of the epidemic? What is the situation of the victims? How many are there? How much medicinal herbs remain in Chaochang? Which herbs can suppress this epidemic? Do you have a way to suppress the epidemic? Come on, tell me, Wang Chang, the angel who prides himself on being righteous!”

“These matters will be understood within a day after your execution,”

Wang Chang said, standing with his hands behind his back, trying to remain composed: “Stop wasting time, for today is your death anniversary!”

“Is that so?”

Tang Luo said lightly, “I don’t think today is, what does Master Gu Han think?”

“Mr. Tang Luo, your words make sense!”

Gu Han chuckled lightly, his cyanotic face showing a trace of otherworldly composure as the Ink Lotus Ghost Arhat leaped from his brow, quickly growing ten feet in size, its brow emitting a golden flame that melted the ice spikes trapping them.

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Luo unleashed the Blood Asura God Shocking Finger, directly hitting various Spiritual Power nodes of the formation, forcibly breaking the Yulin Great Formation that held Bu Jiu captive.

The breaking of the formation was not due to the superior strength of the two, but to the fact that the attention of the three Yulin Pavilion grandmasters had been drawn away from the formation by Tang Luo’s continuous questioning, creating an opening.

The two who escaped the formation did not flee but rose into the air, leveling themselves with everyone present.

Wang Chang was well aware that his decision was somewhat unreasonable, but he couldn’t let Tang Luo escape, thus he spoke up, “Master Shaolin, Devil Lord Tang Luo is a fugitive explicitly designated by the Wang Clan of Buddha Country’s Esoteric Sect. Moreover, this man is extraordinarily talented, awakening the Undying Bloodline. If left unchecked, he will surely become a greater disaster than Chaochang’s epidemic. For the sake of the billions of lives, we must not let this scoundrel escape today!”
