The Temporary Life Dan worked well, so Ye Xiao felt relieved. He just wanted to ask Erhuo how was everything going about the dan beads it was making, but Bu Xiangfeng came to him and said, “Master, there are too many patients out there… Some of them are dying. If we don’t do something, and if something happens to them… many of them will die before they can finally see you.”

Ye Xiao nodded and looked at Bu Xiangfeng while waiting for what he would say next.

Bu Xiangfeng hesitated for a while and then said, “I know we have rules… But… If people die at our door because we don’t do anything to save them, those people will hate us… I am afraid…”

“If that is what will happen, I don’t see why we build this place. It won’t get us more supporters, but bring us more enemies instead. That would be really stupid… If you can do something about it…”

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “I know. I have thought of this problem. These people are dying, and that is why they came to me. There are many dan makers and pharmacists in the City of Chaos after all. The Hall of Returning Nature and the House of Chaotic Storms were making a big move in the battle. Many itinerant cultivators got influenced. That is why there are suddenly so many dying men…”

“There are too many of them…” Bu Xiangfeng was anxious. He didn’t know what to do.

When he talked to the couple from the Dark Wind Mountain, he acted like he knew what he was doing. However, he surely did not know whether Ye Xiao could save them or not. After all, those who were dying outside were suffering some wounds that should have killed them. Those were rare conditions, and it should be difficult even to meet one patient like that…

However, at this moment, after the battle night, over thirty people were in that rare situation.

If Ye Xiao kept doing this so slowly, over half of those people would die at the entrance of the Hall of Life and Death!

If Ye Xiao failed to save any of them, he would be known as a bullsh*t doctor, but that would be all. If he saved some but failed to save the others only because he didn’t spend time on them, those people would hate him!

That was why Bu Xiangfeng wanted Ye Xiao to save his friend. The couple from the Dark Wind Mountain were both Saint Origin Stage cultivators after all, and they were leading a group of powerful figures.

If Ye Xiao could save their son and recruit the couple, the job would be easier for Bu Xiangfeng. He seemed to be powerful. When he shouted, those people at the entrance all turned silent. They knew that Bu Xiangfeng was powerful, but they also knew they were begging the Hall of Life and Death. They wouldn’t mess with the man who worked for the Hall of Life and Death, would they? If they were angry, Bu Xiangfeng could deal with no more than five of them at the same time! If they all started to fight Bu Xiangfeng at the same time, it would be difficult for him to run away! And that was not a joke!

That was why he told those people he would get in to ask Ye Xiao for temporary treatment. He didn’t do it for anyone else!

He did want things to go well for the Hall of Life and Death, but he also wanted to help his friends—the couple from the Dark Wind Mountain—and he also wanted to keep himself safe.

Although it didn’t seem to be honorable, he just did what he had to do. n.o.body could run away from reality. He just faced it!

Ye Xiao nodded and said, “I said I did consider this question! Listen, this is what you should do…”

He reached out his hand, and there were a lot of small jade bottles.

“There are five dan beads. Give the dying ones one for each. It will keep them alive. It will buy us some time, and I will think of a way to deal with the situation. If there are too many people, and they needed more time to get to see me, feed them one more dan bead. The efficacy won’t decrease.”

“What? What is it? Does it work for everybody? They are all dying, but they were injured in different ways. Don’t you need to take a look at their wounds first? Is it proper to just give them the same dan bead? Is it true that they can use it multiple times? Isn’t it going to be less and less effective?” Bu Xiangfeng asked.

“I invented this dan. It is special… The Temporary Life Dan.” Ye Xiao said, “It does one thing only. It won’t cure any wounds, bring anybody back from death, but it kept the patient alive until a certain time! As long as they eat the dan beads, they won’t die, at least until a certain time! I created it to extend my patients’ lives, and the efficacy won’t decrease!”

“That is why it is called the Temporary Life Dan. We take a temporary life for the patient from death! It only buys me a short time, but that is enough time for me to make some dan beads to cure the patient completely!”

Ye Xiao smiled and explained about the Temporary Life Dan briefly.

“I can’t believe there is actually such dan that goes against nature’s law! The world is full of incredible things!” Bu Xiangfeng was surprised. He carefully took the Temporary Life Dan beads and hastily walked out.

People who were waiting for Ye Xiao were all anxious. More and more patients came. Somebody must have sent messages out, and more and more people came for help. Everyone was in a hurry because none of them would like to give up such a chance!

Every group of people had a dying person who was going to die at any second.

However… it took time to do the treatment!

No matter how capable Ye Xiao was, he had to do it one by one. He couldn’t save them all at the same time, could he?

Somebody went first, and some went later. People took turns to see the doctor. However, these people did not have that much patience. They wouldn’t just keep waiting, would they? People might die while waiting, and it was not a joke to these people.

The lord of the Dark Wind Mountain was pacing around anxiously. He couldn’t sit down, and wouldn’t walk away. He just kept staring at the entrance of the Hall of Life and Death. When he breathed, it sounded like a cow lowing.

His wife was kneeling on the floor, touching her son’s face with her face. She was praying with sincerity.

All those people who were waiting outside, no matter how unruly they used to be, no matter how powerful they were, no matter how bad their tempers were, none of them dared to break into the fortress. They didn’t dare to do anything reckless!

They wouldn’t want to mess with the owner of the Hall of Life and Death. They were afraid that he would punish them by delaying the treatment… He had all kinds of methods to watch them die!

At this moment, at least at this moment, the Hall of Life and Death had the absolute power, the absolute authority! n.o.body dared to disobey!

n.o.body dared to complain about the master of the Hall of Life and Death.

He was a marvelous doctor, and he surely was allowed to be this arrogant!

Even the powerful cultivator Bu Xiangfeng was here to guard the door for him!

Even the lord and the lady of the Dark Wind Mountain waited patiently outside the place!

Who dared to violate the rules?

‘How long do we have to wait… There are many people waiting to be saved here…’

‘These people are all severely injured…’

‘Even a G.o.d couldn’t save us all… I am afraid…’

‘What to do? What should we do?’

People were all anxious.

Those who had just arrived and waited at the end of the queue were all extremely anxious. They didn’t dare to be mad at the Hall of Life and Death, but when they looked at the people before them, their eyes were filled with killing intent.

Everybody had the same thought…

‘If that man before us dies now, we can be one more step ahead, which brings us more chance to save our man!’

“My friend… My brother here is dying… What about this? Give me your position and let me go before you… I will give you ten thousand purple spirit coins in return! Look…”

“Go away! I don’t care about your dying brother! My wife is dying here! Ten thousand purple spirit coins? Ten million purple spirit coins won’t buy you my position! Stay away!”

“Please, give it a second thought. You don’t know what I can do! Go away now, and you get the money. If you don’t, you may still lose the position, and also lose your lives…”

“Oh, really? I happen to be tired of living… Why don’t you try and kill me if you dare?”

They were all the same. Some of them were going to start a big fight at any second.

They were all in desperation. Everyone was reaching their boiling point now.

They were highly self-restrained not to rage up in fury. However, the longer they hold the negative emotions in their hearts, the more terrible it would become when it burst out. Every tiny reckless move could turn the Hall of Life and Death a place of blood and fire!

Clang, clang, clang…

Some of them had drawn out their weapons. Their weapons were s.h.i.+ning with cold lights and were ready to get stained with blood.

Bai Long saw that things were going into chaos, so he shouted and said loudly, “Master has said it. No death in the Hall of Life and Death. n.o.body is allowed to fight in the Hall of Life and Death. Whoever fights in the Hall of Life and Death will never be allowed to enter the Hall of Life and Death ever again. Anyone who dares to violate the rule will be an enemy to the Hall of Life and Death!”

It was like cold water fell down on the angry men’s heads.

They were all shocked and frustrated all of a sudden.

They all came here because somebody important to them was dying because of severe injuries. If they were going to fight, they fought for an opportunity for their men to get the treatment from the Hall of Life and Death.

If they became enemies to the Hall of Life and Death, it meant their reckless moves killed the opportunity to get the treatment!

That would be truly unacceptable!

Shoot shoot shoot…

They all withdrew their weapons, but still staring at each other furiously, with the rising flame of anger in their hearts.

“F*ck you! This is not over! You will see what I am capable of when we are out of here!”

“F*ck you, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Wait and see! When my big brother is safe, I will go to your house and kill every person I see!”

“What a good memory you have brought to me! You will get what you deserve someday! Just wait!”

“F*ck you! Good memory, huh? You are such a f*cking hypocrite! Don’t you know how to speak the human language? Do you have to talk like that? Don’t you think we all know what you truly want to say? If my brother gets well, I won’t bother making any more trouble. If my brother dies, I will fight you to the end of the world! I will f*ck you one hundred times before I slowly cut you into pieces! I will make sure you remember everything I do to you, and you will thank me for the good memory again!”

“F*ck you! You are such a filthy thing! Do you want to f*ck with me? Fine! Come here! I dare you!”

“Here I am! Just wait there, you f*cker!”

It had been like an explosive magazine that was going to explode at any second, while now it became like an open-air market, full of chaos. They were not allowed to actually start a fight, so they chose to attack by speaking! Abusive words kept sounding out, and the dust on the floor started to rise up into the air. These people might have created a lot of new abusive words!

“According to the rules of the Hall of Life and Death, there are no filthy words allowed! This is a place of life and death! n.o.body is allowed to talk abusive words! Whoever breaks the rule will be perished out.” Bai Long shouted again.

“…”

Suddenly, everything became silent. Even a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

n.o.body dared to shout anymore.

Some of them were thinking.

‘Isn’t it too much for him to care about…’

‘He said we can’t do anything reckless, or we will have to leave. Fine. Now he doesn’t allow us to speak! What? Do we need to pretend to be dead to stay here’

‘The Hall of Life and Death is a place of life and death? Only a big fight can separate death from life! Come on… I guess the master of the Hall of Life and Death may not be as good as they said… Perhaps, he is worse than me…’

However, no matter what they thought in their heads, n.o.body dared to say a word!

Those who were having a quarrel started to stare at each other as if their gaze could kill.

“…” They stared at each other and said nothing.

“…” They stared at each other again and still said nothing.

“…” They kept staring at each other.

“…” They just wouldn’t stop staring at each other.

“…” They stared and gritted their teeth.

“…” They stared in desperation!

The Hall of Life and Death was full of men that were showing a fierce expression on their faces. They looked cruel and vicious!

However, they were all about to get lost in a fury. They didn’t even care about dying now, so who would care about the fierce eyes of others. The staring contest didn’t have a winner!

n.o.body caved, but n.o.body was winning either.

If staring could kill, these people should all have been dead by now!

Two big guys kept staring at each other with fierce eyes while slowly moving toward each other until their foreheads touched each other!

They could breathe the warm breaths from each other’s noses!

Bai Long was a little angry but also amused.

It was easy to tell people not to fight or swear.

However, it was impossible to tell them not to look at each other!

Those were some clever men after all. They found a new way to vent the anger in their chests…

The two tough men who got their foreheads touching each other were staring at each other so closely… What a picture!

Luckily, Bu Xiangfeng rushed out like a whirlwind. The people outside saw him coming out, and they were all spirited up. They stopped staring at each other, and they weren’t angry anymore. In their eyes, there were expectation, hope, and desire…

Apparently, they were all waiting for the man to tell them something good…

‘Maybe he is going to call my name!’
