“Is the Heavenly Repair Jade gone?” Rui Butong didn't care about these matters at all and didn’t understand the importance of the Heavenly Repair Jade. He nonchalantly replied, “If it's gone, then it's gone.”
Chu Yang's face was extremely heavy as he said, “Let’s bury the people.”
He sighed deeply, “The people of Medicine Valley dedicated their lives to medicinal science. Normally, they are all reclusive and hard to approach, but their medicines have flowed out to the world. A large part of the medicines used across the entire continent comes from Medicine Valley. Over countless years, they have done so many good deeds for the Nine Heavens, saving countless lives... and now, they have all tragically died. Is it true that these good people will not receive any good in return?!”
Rui Butong remained silent.
“Let’s get to work,” Chu Yang said quietly.
The two of them began to dig a massive pit, placing the bodies of those from Medicine Valley one by one into it, laying them flat. Then, Chu Yang stood silently for a while, and with a wave of his hand, the dust filled the air.
Moments later, a tall grave stood erect amidst the trees.
The surrounding big trees were partly removed by Chu Yang, forming a huge circle, as if they were silent guards protecting these divine doctors of Medicine Valley who had devoted their lives to the Nine Heavens Continent.
Finally, Chu Yang slapped a palm into the snow, pulling out a mound of earth like a small hill. He repeatedly struck it, compacting the soil and stones for dozens of meters around into a gravestone a foot thick, nine feet wide, and three zhang high.
Flat and smooth. Shining like a mirror!
After a moment's thought, Chu Yang used his energy to inscribe the following words: infused with deep anger and a condemnation of this world!
“Devoted all my life to medicine and healing:
I’d rather stay hidden in the Mysterious Valley, to exchange for the spring of Nine Heavens.
Who would know the difficulty of repairing the heavens? My merits unheard:
You depart with unclosed eyes; who will pity the people henceforth?
If good people all meet misfortune, who will dare to be good?
If heaven truly has a way, please save the souls of the four hundred from Medicine Valley!
The four hundred doctors of Medicine Valley met a tragic fate, buried here!
Heaven has grievances! The world is unfair!
In the southeast, Chu Yang stands in reverence!
If in this life I can soar to the clouds, I will question the immortals for you:
If good people receive no reward, why not eradicate the Nine Heavens!”
As the gravestone was erected, a wave of sorrow, anger, and indignation surged forth! It filled the silent woods, complemented by the endless white snow, seemingly extending to the ends of the earth, up to the blue sky above.
Rui Butong felt a chill creep down his spine.
It seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were gathering around the gravestone that Chu Yang had just erected, angrily questioning the heavens!
Chu Yang stood quietly for a while before turning and striding away.
As he left, the remaining snow on the trees in the woods began to fall, seemingly bidding farewell to Chu Yang.
He hadn’t interacted much with the people of Medicine Valley, and they were quite rigid and stubborn.
But Chu Yang couldn’t deny that they were a group of good people, responsible individuals, truly striving for the benefit of all living beings!
He had checked all around, and it was clear that the attackers were definitely not just one person; moreover, they were undoubtedly seasoned butchers!
Not a single trace had been left!
Not even a scrap of cloth, a drop of blood, or a hair was found.
It was thoroughly clean!
Moreover, it was evident that the incident had occurred days ago.
From Chu Yang’s estimation, it must have happened within a day or two after the battle at Xingyun Mountain.
Chu Yang returned with a solemn face, heading straight to Yue Lingxue’s sled. Yue Lingxue asked, “What happened?”
“Of the more than four hundred people from Medicine Valley who attended the Myriad Medicine Convention, none survived!” Chu Yang said heavily. “They all died here... I don’t know who did it.”
