Facing Bai Yutian and the others, the old man was very polite and didn't show anything strange.
"Huang Tian pays homage to Mr. Lu." Bai Yutian saluted briefly and came to the old man.
Huang Tian is Bai Yutian's pseudonym, which he used in martial arts competitions.
The old man's name is Lu Hong, and he is now the leader of the Lu branch.
Bai Yutian stared at Lu Hong for a long time, but still couldn't see any flaws.
It seems that Lu Hong is just an ordinary old man who cannot be ordinary.
But Bai Yutian did not completely dispel his doubts, and Tianjia secretly planned it for hundreds of years.
As the leader of the Tianjia Sect, how could he not have a city government?
"I am from a medical family. In order to complement my medical skills, I search for difficult and complicated diseases all over the world."
"I accidentally learned that a plague broke out here before, so I wanted to come and find out more about the situation."
Lu Hong did not express doubts about Bai Yutian's remarks.
A smile appeared on his old face, mixed with a hint of sadness.
"The plague was really terrifying. There were more than 100,000 people from the Lu branch, but less than 10,000 people died."
Bai Yutian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard these numbers.
More than 100,000 people died and only 10,000 people were left. This plague was terrible.
However, this kind of plague is generally extremely contagious, so how can it not spread and disappear on its own?
Lu Hong shook his head. He had never understood either the origin of the plague or its disappearance.
Fifty years ago, he was just a teenager and luckily survived the plague.
Because he was the only one with the highest status at that time, he was promoted to the position of leader.
"Although I don't know the origin and disappearance of the plague, I guess it may be related to the Lan branch."
Speaking of this, Lu Hong's eyes clearly flashed with hatred.
Bai Yutian was shocked. This terrible plague rarely happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so how could it be related to the Lan branch.
And if this is the case, having a method to control the plague would be a disaster for Da Zhou.
Zhao Chuxue and Dian Wei have accompanied Bai Yutian through life and death many times, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other.
In an instant, they knew what Bai Yutian was thinking.
"There is evidence for this."
Lu Hong remembered that Bai Yutian was brought by someone from the Lan branch, and immediately shut up, unwilling to say more.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we are from the north and have nothing to do with the Jinyin people."
"What you say, we won't tell anyone else."
Seeing that Lu Hong still didn't believe it, Bai Yutian had no choice but to raise his hands and swear.
For an emperor, oaths are very important.
Although Lu Hong didn't know Bai Yutian's identity, he still chose to believe him.
"This was told to me by the previous patriarch. After investigation, he found that the place where the plague originated is the place closest to our branch with the surname Lan."
"Moreover, he also discovered that the main clan members of the Lan branch were taking some kind of special medicinal decoction during that period."
Bai Yutian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have any grudge against the people from the Lan branch?"
"No grudge!"
Lu Hong shook his head slowly and said firmly.
"But the Lotus Sect, which was against the Great Zhou Dynasty, came to the Jinyin tribe and wanted to recruit them."
"At that time, our Lu branch was the most powerful, representing almost half of the Jinyin tribe."
"Faced with their solicitation, our leader chose to clearly refuse."
"However, the other four major branches all chose to support the Lotus Sect. However, the Lotus Sect was destroyed not long after, and they also lost the object of their support, so they had to return here to continue their lives."
Hearing this, Bai Yutian's body shook violently.
In this way, it is not the Lu branch that has contact with the Lotus Sect at all, but the other four major branches.
And now the Lan branch is the most powerful, could it be...
Bai Yutian was so anxious that he forgot that Lu Yong's identity might be fake.
After all, as the leader of Tianjia Sect, how could he lead such a force so easily?
"Chu Xue, Dian Wei, let's go back to the Lan branch quickly."
Bai Yutian quietly transmitted the message, and Zhao Chuxue and Zhao immediately nodded and stood up.
Before leaving, Bai Yutian looked at Lu Hong again, "Mr. Lu, may I ask where the noble blood fountain is."
Lu Hong was a little surprised. It seemed that Bai Yutian knew about the blood spring by accident.
"The Blood Spring originally belonged to the Lu branch, but now it belongs to the Lan branch."
