Chapter 85: Public Outrage

“Is this true?” Qin Feng’s expression was odd. “Those physicians were clearly invited to treat their family members. Why would they be treated like this?”

“Brother, you may not know this, but when Lord Zhou took control of the people infected with the Heart Devouring Gu, the Governor’s Mansion immediately summoned physicians to examine the situation. At that time, a Thirty-Six Star official had encountered this Gu before and knew that it attached itself to the human heart. Upon hearing this, the physicians applied anesthesia and attempted surgery to extract the Gu. However, every time they touched the Gu with silver forceps, it would go into a frenzy, devouring the patient’s heart and causing them to perish.”

The man paused and added, “I heard that several physicians tried to save more than ten people, but only three survived. Because of this, when the people gathered here saw the physicians, they were deeply disgusted and dared not let them in.”

Qin Feng’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t this like the ancient version of medical disputes? However, after listening to the process, he instantly understood the reasons for the physicians’ failure.

Firstly, they didn’t use cold ice to slow down the action of the Heart Devouring Gu. Secondly, they used metallic instruments to extract the Gu, causing the Gu to go into a frenzy.

“But I didn’t expect that these physicians, knowing they would be treated like this, still willingly came. It seems they genuinely care about the safety of these people,” Qin Feng admired.

The man scoffed, “Brother, don’t be naive. They are just afraid to disobey the orders of the Demon Slaying Department’s. Our Lord Zhou has a bad temper, and he holds grudges. Few dare to provoke him in Qiyuan City.”

“Hey, you dare to say that!” Another person quickly reminded from the side.

“Oops!” The man widened his eyes, hurriedly covering his mouth. He turned around, looking toward the direction of the Demon Slaying Department’s high platform, his expression uneasy.

The other colleagues from the Demon Slaying Department stepped back, maintaining a certain distance from the man, seemingly wanting to distance themselves.

What’s going on? Qin Feng was puzzled. The Lord with the surname Zhou, although a bit stingy, seemed like a reasonable person. Why did these people seem so afraid of him? They didn’t even dare to speak ill of him behind his back.

If it were him in his previous life, he would have criticized the boss behind his back without hesitation. Qin Feng was feeling confused when suddenly he saw a man in official attire walking quickly in the direction of the Demon Slaying Department’s.

He had seen this person when they entered the high platform building before. At that time, the man was leaving the hall with official documents, passing by them.

The man, upon seeing the newcomer, seemed to collapse. “Sir Wen, you’re here.”

Sir Wen didn’t reply but observed the surroundings. Then he said to the man, “As a member of the Demon Slaying Department’s, you neglect your appearance, and there’s a wine stain on your pants. By the order of Lord Zhou, you’re fined three months’ salary and assigned a month of night patrol. Do you have any objections?”

“No, none at all.” The man lowered his head, accepting his fate.

Sir Wen nodded slightly, turned around, and left. The other members of the Demon Slaying Department’s, upon seeing this, quickly tidied up their clothes.

Qin Feng’s mouth gaped open, his face filled with disbelief.

The method of restraining the soul relied on Yin energy and the caster’s soul. It seemed that the soul of the person with the surname Zhou, left in this place, had heard what the man just said, instructing Sir Wen to come over. However, this revenge came too quickly.

This has gone beyond what can be described as holding a grudge; it’s simply insane. Fortunately, Qin Feng thought to himself, I’m glad I didn’t express my dissatisfaction with him.

Looking at the dejected expression of the man in front of him, Qin Feng comforted him, “Brother, condolences.”

In the crowd on the other side, the voices of curses grew louder. freewebn(o)vel

“Incompetent physicians, you still dare to come here and harm lives!”

“Get lost, we won’t let you pass no matter what!”

“Liu Aunt’s son was in his prime, his life was hanging by a thread, but you guys killed him, and now you have the audacity to come back?”

“Go far away, don’t let me see you!”

The physicians’ faces turned red and then white upon hearing these words, and their bodies were already covered in vegetable leaves and eggshells.

The leading demon slayer tried to shout and advise, but the crowd paid no attention, refusing to clear the way.

The situation descended into chaos for a while.

Qin Feng frowned. There were too many people in the city infected with the Heart Devouring Gu. Although they were currently controlled by Master Zhou, unexpected accidents were likely to occur over time.

He had to teach these physicians how to remove the Heart Devouring Gu as soon as possible.

However, under the current circumstances, calming the people in the city would take an unknown amount of time.

“This won’t work. Can Master Zhou also use soul-binding on these people to control them?” Qin Feng asked.

The man beside him shook his head, “Don’t be fooled by Master Zhou still appearing normal while reviewing documents. He has been forcibly supporting himself. Binding so many souls at once, even if there’s enough Yin energy, the divine soul is constantly being consumed. Anyone in his place would find it unsustainable.”

Qin Feng understood. It seemed that he had to find a solution on his own.

After a moment, a bright idea flashed in his mind. He signaled a group of demon slayers and whispered a few words.

The people’s expressions turned strange after hearing his words. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes,” Qin Feng replied without hesitation.

“In that case, just give us a shout when it’s time. But be warned, if the people throw eggs or vegetable leaves at you, we can’t guarantee we’ll stop all of them.”

“Uh,” Qin Feng’s face twitched.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it. Do whatever you need to do.” This time, Cang Feilan, who was beside him, spoke calmly.

Although the words were simple, they gave Qin Feng an infinite sense of security. Perhaps, this was love.

“Then, I’ll trouble Miss Cang.”

Qin Feng approached the nearest patient, a young man dressed in plain clothes with some dirt on his young face.

Taking a deep breath, he gently laid the young man on the ground and then took out some ice cubes from his spatial ring, placing them around the young man.

“You can shout now,” Qin Feng said calmly.

Upon hearing these words, the group of demon slayers showed surprise on their faces. Previously, those physicians needed considerable time for gestures and preparations before performing surgery, gaining the confidence to wield their knives.

However, this handsome young man was ready to start as soon as the person was laid down?

“Brother, don’t you need to prepare a bit more? What if you lose your precision, and things go awry?” One person kindly advised.

“No need. Just go ahead and call for it,” Qin Feng responded with unwavering determination and confidence.

“Alright, then.” Several demon slayers exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and made up their minds. They gathered their energy and shouted loudly, “Hey, kid, what are you going to do? You can’t be reckless with these patients!”

Although their voices couldn’t completely drown out the crowd’s noise, the nearby townspeople heard them clearly.

Curious, they turned around and, to their astonishment, saw a young and handsome gentleman preparing to wield a knife on a young person!

“Stop, what are you trying to do?!”
