Heaven Road
4. Opening the Door of Destiny 4

"So it all started on that full night?" Asked Yin Sheng who had just listened to Du Xing's explanation.

"True Mr. Yin... Many of our animals died that night. One of the residents had seen a demon in the form of a snake coming out of the village."

"Snake-like lights?" Yin Sheng frowned. Demon is a myth that developed in the general public. Yin Sheng could guess if the demon in question was the Spirit Beast that Yin Sheng had seen that night.

However the relationship between the Spirit Beast and the plague in the village was still a mystery to Yin Sheng. He has to make sure of everything before he goes any further.

"Does Master Yin know anything about this demon?" Du Xing asked who was astonished by Yin Sheng's reaction.

"No... Sorry Mr. Du... I'll take a break. Tomorrow morning I have a lot to do."

"Good Mr. Yin... Thank you so much for helping us today." Du Xing certainly did not want to force Yin Sheng to tell him more about the demon. After all, it would be very detrimental to the villagers if Yin Sheng was offended and left the village before curing the citizens' illness.

Yin Sheng continued his meditation until morning. He always remembered his teacher's message if the world of Cultivators was so cruel. Therefore he must really make the most of his time in order to become stronger than he is today.

The next morning Yin Sheng and Village Chief Du Xing toured the residents' houses. This time Yin Sheng had indeed deliberately come to the citizens to take care of them. In addition to making it easier for residents, Yin Sheng also wanted to ascertain the cause of the outbreak.

"Mr Du... Where do people get their water for consumption?" Asked Yin Sheng on the sidelines of their trip.

"Citizens use the river water that we flow into people's homes."

"Hem... That's so..." Yin Sheng put on a thinking face.

"Is Master Yin suspicious of the water we use as the cause of this plague?" Village Chief Du Xing tried to guess the path of Yin Sheng's mind.

"It's still not certain about that." Yin Sheng did not want to invite any other trouble for the villagers. Telling residents if their water is problematic certainly makes residents will rethink to consume existing water. Water is the main need for the life of a village. Villagers will certainly look for other sources of water for their consumption. And finding a water source is a pretty draining thing of time and energy.

The second day of the treatment of the citizens was not as heavy as the first day for Yin Sheng. On the second day he only occasionally released strange substances in the bodies of citizens. Most of the residents already look fresh although there are still festering spots.

"Thank you very much Mr. Yin for Mr. Yin's help today..." The village chief Du Xing said a farewell greeting to Yin Sheng in front of the room Yin Sheng occupied. Although not too heavy, checking more than half of the villagers still spent the night.

"It's good to help Mr. Du... Excuse me... Excuse me for a break." Yin Sheng went inside his room without waiting for a reply from Du Xing.

Yin Sheng did a meditation to gather his Qi to the brim. After all his Qi had gathered, he exited the room through the bedroom window. He plans to ascertain the truth of the origin of the disease outbreak in the village. If he did not find the cause of the plague, then all of his actions during these two days would only be in vain.

Yin Sheng ran silently towards the river. He uses the science of relieving the body contained in the sword technique owned by his mother. Of the few swordsmanship that Yin Sheng had learned, the body lightening science of the Seven Art of Kill was the best.

Seven Art of Kill was a high-level sword technique aimed at killing enemies in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, in the first part of the Seven Art of Kill focuses heavily on the science of lightening the body. The Seven Art of Kill Technique

it can be used without using Qi, but the effectiveness of the technique will increase if Qi is used.

Yin Sheng certainly did not want to throw away his Qi for nothing, every Qi of his was so meaningful later on. He did not know what danger lay before him.

Right at midnight Yin Sheng arrived at where he was resting. As he had expected, a Spirit Beast was immersed in the river. The Spirit Beast was silent without doing anything. Yin Sheng also suspected that the Spirit Beast was meditating under the moonlight.

Several pieces of Yin Sheng snake skin were found floating on the surface of the river. With his fishing line, Yin Sheng took one of the pieces of skin.

"It's..." Yin Sheng immediately understood the real matter. The snake-shaped Spirit Beast's skin contained an extremely dangerous poison. Even a King realm Cultivator would be instantly paralyzed if exposed to the poison from the snake's skin.

"So this is the cause." Yin Sheng could draw a conclusion. The venom from the snake's skin is dissolved in water. Because the content of toxins that stay a little, the effects that occur are becoming less and less.

"Sort of people are exposed to poison." Consuming toxic water in a short period of time will certainly cause adverse effects for the ordinary human body.

"It seems there is no other choice..." Yin Sheng walked towards the departure of the Spirit Beast. The Spirit Beast left behind poison along the way. Yin Sheng could certainly easily find traces of the poison with his Azhura eyes.

The Spirit Beast's trail reached a rock cliff. On the cliff there are many holes that are formed naturally. Yin Sheng was also not careless by entering one of the holes, even though he knew where the Spirit Beast was hiding.

Smoke...

Smoke became Yin Sheng's choice to lure the Spirit Beast out of its hiding hole.

Slashwas...

Slashwas...

Yin Sheng chopped down a few tree branches, bringing them before the hole of the Spirit Beast hideout.

Blashes...

With a small talisman paper, Yin Sheng took out a fireball that instantly burned the tree branch. Fresh leaves make a lot of smoke when burned. The cliffs of the rocks are not even visible anymore because the smoke puffs are so thick.

Not Yin Sheng expected, inside those rocks were not only used as hideouts of the Spirit Beast serpent. Poisonous snakes also use the cliff as their residence. A puff of smoke sent hundreds of snakes out of the hole in search of fresh air.

Yin Sheng chose to stay away, not wanting to be the victim of the fury of hundreds of poisonous snakes.

Gerr....

Gerr...

The collapsing rocks sounded from where Yin Sheng was. A black shadow could be seen leaping from the cliff into the smoke.

"That's it..." Yin Sheng could immediately see a snake-shaped Spirit Beast with a human body that was female.

Beauitiful... That was what Yin Sheng could describe after seeing the face of the Spirit Beast. The Spirit Beast wore a golden-yellow breastplate. His purple hair was in tune with his white skin. Beautiful eyes with irish eyes the same color as her hair add to the impression of beauty from the Spirit Beast. Unfortunately, the lower scales of the Spirit Beast's body did not look okay.

Half the scales are bluish black, and the other half are white to gray. Yin Sheng could guess, if the white scales were his old scales, while the black scales were his new scales. In a sense, the Spirit Beast was undergoing a change of scales.

"Who are you? I've let you in the river. Why did you follow me here?" Asked the Spirit Beast who was staring intently at Yin Sheng.
