The night was deep, and outside Dashi Village were rows of tents, some lit up while many others were shrouded in darkness.
"Mr. Luo, what do you think is going on here?"
Du Quan glanced at the Ancient Sorcerer beside him. Fang Daoming's situation had already proven that the other party was a skilled individual.
"It's hard to say right now, but I don't think it's an ordinary infectious disease."
Standing in the darkness, the Ancient Sorcerer looked ahead. About three to five hundred meters away was Dashi Village, but aside from the high-wattage bulbs atop the temporary poles at the outermost edge, everything else was gloomy. The sudden outbreak had plunged the entire village into disaster—no one could enjoy themselves after discovering they had contracted a strange illness.
Du Quan nodded lightly and sighed again, saying, "Yes, I think so too, but I haven't discovered what exactly is happening."
This situation felt strange; given the current level of medical advancement, how could a common illness go undetected? Not to mention that this matter had already attracted national attention.
As a shaman, Du Quan knew that there were mysterious forces in this world that could cause such a situation in Dashi Village. However, he felt quite helpless as he couldn't pinpoint where the problem lay.
Originally, Du Quan thought the Ancient Sorcerer had found the "cause" of the illness, but he didn't expect to be just as clueless.
"Take your time; we will eventually find out where the problem lies."
The Ancient Sorcerer looked around. Although there was no light, as a former expert, he quickly noticed countless eyes watching Dashi Village from the darkness. He believed that even a mosquito wouldn't be able to fly out from within at this moment.
The Ancient Sorcerer didn't find anything wrong with this. Faced with an unknown illness that could potentially be contagious, sealing off the village to ensure more people's safety was absolutely necessary.
"Yes, you're right. It's getting late; let's rest. We have things to attend to tomorrow."
After Du Quan finished speaking, he left. The Ancient Sorcerer, however, did not leave immediately but stood silently in place under the night sky. He had originally come to treat Jiu Ye's brother Fang Daoming but hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.
Upon arriving at Dashi Village, the Ancient Sorcerer had already sensed something was off; however, due to the short time spent here, he hadn't yet identified what was strange.
After standing for a while, the Ancient Sorcerer shook his head and walked toward Fang Daoming's tent.
Fang Daoming was still awake; it was evident that this incident had also caused him great concern.
"Ancient Sorcerer, are you here for something?"
When Fang Daoming heard that the Ancient Sorcerer had come to see him, he immediately went out to greet him. It was not only because the other party had saved him, but more importantly, he felt that the Ancient Sorcerer was the key figure in solving the problems of Dashi Village.
After sitting down, the Ancient Sorcerer nodded and said, "Come, sit for a moment."
"Do you have any leads on what's happening in the village?"
The Ancient Sorcerer was taken aback for a moment but quickly understood that Fang Daoming was anxious. Shaking his head, the Ancient Sorcerer smiled and said, "It's still too early to say anything about the village."
Fang Daoming laughed, realizing he was indeed being a bit too hasty. "Not about the village? Then what is it about?"
"It's related to your illness."
"Ah?!"
Fang Daoming did not understand what the Ancient Sorcerer meant and said, "My illness? Isn't it already cured?"
Fang Daoming felt that his body was much better than before; in fact, he could say it was even better than when he had not been ill. So why did it seem like the Ancient Sorcerer's tone suggested otherwise?
With a smile, the Ancient Sorcerer shook his head and said, "Of course you are cured. What I mean is that your Golden Silkworm may have been intentionally inflicted by someone."
"Hmm?!"
Fang Daoming's expression suddenly became serious. As someone who had survived countless struggles and storms, how could he not understand what the Ancient Sorcerer meant?
"Someone has targeted me?"
"Yes, it's very likely. The meaning of Golden Silkworm itself indicates this point. Golden Silkworm naturally refers to sorcery, while 'marriage' refers to casting sorcery on others. Therefore, one could say that the real focus is on 'marriage.' If there were no one to cast it, then the Golden Silkworm would not be effective."
When he cured Fang Daoming previously, due to time constraints, the Ancient Sorcerer did not have a chance to inform him about this matter. However, he understood that someone of Fang Daoming's status would certainly cause a stir if something happened to him; its importance was self-evident. Since someone had targeted him now, it must be someone extraordinary and their actions were certainly not ordinary.
"What are the chances?"
Fang Daoming had never expected that the Ancient Sorcerer would come to him with such news. For him, this was absolutely more shocking than his previous illness!
Someone was after him?
Is dealing with oneself for personal revenge or for official business?
If it is merely personal revenge, then the problem is not too serious. However, if it is for official business, then the issue becomes grave. Fang Daoming understands that at his current position, his life is no longer his own.
"About ninety percent."
In fact, the Ancient Sorcerer can almost be one hundred percent certain that someone is targeting Fang Daoming. Given the other party's level, there are strict protocols in place regarding food, clothing, and other necessities to ensure safety. Yet, under such circumstances, someone was still able to use the Golden Silkworm against him. This indicates the immense power of the assailant, and of course, their motives must be significant—given Fang Daoming's status, what holds the most value is not his life but the secrets of the army he leads!
It is precisely because of this reason that the Ancient Sorcerer came to warn Fang Daoming.
For a long time, Fang Daoming remained silent, furrowing his brow repeatedly before finally saying, "I understand this matter. I will need your help with the village issues."
"The situation in the village is a bit strange; I will find out exactly what went wrong."
Hearing Fang Daoming say this, the Ancient Sorcerer knew that the other party had grasped the situation and that he no longer needed to handle it. Fang Daoming had plenty of people to investigate this matter, while his most important task was to uncover what had happened in Dashi Village.
"Ancient Sorcerer, do you need me to send a few people to assist you?"
The Ancient Sorcerer shook his head and replied, "No need; I will handle it myself."
There was no need to mention witchcraft; anyone Fang Daoming sent would certainly be of no help. As for whether anyone would pose a threat during the investigation? The Ancient Sorcerer was absolutely confident that if such a situation arose, it would not be him who would perish!
