The Haojing racecourse, originally a training ground for Qian Dynasty's polo and military exercises, has now become a purgatory...
"Ah, let me die! Let me die!"
"It hurts so much!"
Due to the large number of people infected with the Gu Plague, the racecourse has been turned into a temporary medical center, with countless patients lying on bamboo beds and straw mats, while white-clothed Feathered Scholars move around.
Those who died on the spot have long been thrown into the Yin Fire Cave, while those lucky enough to survive are better off unconscious. Many regain consciousness only to find their bodies riddled with wounds.
Their limbs are bound as they scream in agony, while white-clothed Feathered Scholars use tweezers to pull out larvae poking through their skin like lotus seeds, leaving behind dense holes, a fate worse than death.
Elder Huayan walks among them, his face growing heavier as he observes such a tragic scene.
