Su Mu dragged his weary body away from the deep, silent valley, carefully evading the relentless pursuers behind him.
He traveled day and night, braving the elements, traversing desolate paths and dense, eerie forests, enduring countless hardships, all in search of other members of his family to seek their help and support.
With the few clues he had obtained from Su Yuanshan and the guidance provided by his expertise in divination, Su Mu meandered his way until he finally arrived at a place called "Qingyun Town."
According to the omens, this was the dwelling place of another branch of the Su Family.
After some inquiries and searches, Su Mu successfully located the leader of this branch—Su Mingyuan.
Filled with hope, Su Mu revealed his identity and the purpose of his visit to Su Mingyuan.
However, to his surprise, the leader's attitude was exceptionally cold.
Although Su Mingyuan eventually acknowledged Su Mu's identity, he dismissed the terrifying crisis that Su Mu described with a look of indifference.
"Hmph! The 'Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex' has always been guarded by our branch. There has never been any mishap over the years.
The so-called crisis you speak of is nothing but your personal delusion," Su Mingyuan replied coldly.
Faced with such distrust from Su Mingyuan, Su Mu felt an urgent anxiety.
He knew time was of the essence; if he couldn't persuade him to take action quickly, the consequences would be dire.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he recounted in detail the entire encounter in the valley to Su Mingyuan and presented the precious token entrusted to him by his great-uncle Su Yuanshan as proof.
At first, Su Mingyuan remained skeptical, but when he laid eyes on that token, his heart began to waver.
In the end, after much contemplation, Su Mingyuan finally came to believe that Su Mu's words were not mere fabrications. However, even so, his attitude did not change significantly.
"Even if a crisis truly descends upon us, it is merely a problem for your faction to deal with; it has nothing to do with us!" Su Mingyuan's words were like a cold wind, chilling to the bone.
His narrow eyes glimmered with indifference and disdain, as if Su Mu and the faction he represented were nothing but insignificant entities.
Su Mu was momentarily taken aback; he had never imagined that such deep rifts existed within the Su Family.
All along, he had thought that the entire Su Family was united in purpose and shared a common enemy. But at this moment, he felt as if he had awakened from a dream—there were not only irreconcilable conflicts and fierce struggles between the branches but also disputes over the ownership of the legendary Medical Codex of Heavenly Secrets, which had become the focal point of their covert battles.
Su Mu's emotions became incredibly complex in an instant. He suddenly realized that what lay before him was not only a formidable external enemy but also the intricate disputes within his own family.
These conflicts were like a tangled mess, leaving him feeling lost and uncertain.
However, despite the turmoil within him, Su Mu decided to try to persuade Su Mingyuan to set aside their differences and join forces against external threats to protect the invaluable Medical Codex of Heavenly Secrets.
Taking a deep breath to steady his racing heart, Su Mu spoke earnestly, "Uncle Mingyuan, with great enemies looming before us, if we continue to waste our energy on internal strife, we will only provide our enemies with opportunities. Why don't we temporarily set aside our disagreements and work together to safeguard the Medical Codex? After all, this codex is a treasure passed down through generations of the Su Family!"
Yet, Su Mingyuan paid no heed to Su Mu's words.
He coldly stared at the Medical Codex in Su Mu's hands, his eyes revealing unmasked greed.
Clearly, at this moment, he was completely blinded by desire and could not hear any advice.
Just as Su Mu and Su Mingyuan stood firm against each other in a deadlock, a chilling aura suddenly swept in without warning, enveloping the entire room in an instant.
Su Mu felt a surge of fear; an indescribable familiar chill washed over him like a tidal wave.
The chilling and bone-piercing aura was something he had experienced firsthand before—it was the very essence emitted by the vengeful spirit he had encountered in that eerie mortuary!
"What on earth is happening? How can there be such a strange, eerie wind..." Beside him, Su Mingyuan also keenly sensed the abnormal change in the atmosphere. His already tense expression twisted further in fear, becoming grotesque to the extreme.
As this sudden coldness spread, the temperature in the room plummeted sharply, as if they had instantly fallen into an ice cellar.
At the same time, a howling wind swept through the room like a ghost, causing the candle flames on the table to flicker violently, occasionally producing terrifying crackling sounds.
In that moment, a female ghost with disheveled hair and a hideous face appeared silently in the center of the room like a specter.
She opened her gaping maw and let out heart-wrenching, soul-piercing wails that seemed capable of penetrating one's very soul, instilling fear in anyone who heard it. Indeed, this ghost was the same vengeful spirit Su Mu had encountered earlier at the mortuary!
Seeing this, Su Mingyuan turned pale with fright and screamed, "A ghost! Help me!" Clearly, he had never anticipated encountering such a supernatural being here so unexpectedly.
Su Mu's heart jolted as well, but his mind was resolute. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his composure.
He pondered to himself: Why has this vengeful spirit suddenly appeared at this moment? Could it have been following him all along?
However, now was not the time for panic. The priority was to ensure his own safety and to uncover the true reason behind this spirit's appearance.
"Who are you? Why have you manifested here?" Su Mu asked gravely, his eyes fixed intently on the flickering ghostly figure before him as he spoke in a low voice.
At the same time, he secretly mobilized his internal energy, rapidly activating the unique secret technique recorded in the Heavenly Mechanism Medical Codex, while remaining on high alert for any unexpected developments.
However, in response to Su Mu's questioning, the female ghost seemed to be oblivious, continuing to emit a series of chilling and mournful wails.
The sound was akin to the cries of a night owl, echoing like a chorus of countless spirits, filled with resentment and pain that seemed capable of piercing through one's soul, sending shivers down the spine.
The female ghost's form flickered erratically, approaching Su Mu like a gust of cold wind.
Her arms, already pale as paper, now appeared even more devoid of color as they reached out towards him. Her long fingers curled into claw-like shapes, clearly intent on seizing Su Mu with a vice-like grip.
Startled, Su Mu dared not hesitate and quickly took a large step back, narrowly evading the ghost's attack.
He pondered to himself: It seems this female ghost has completely lost her sanity, driven solely by her overwhelming resentment. She would attack anything living that came into her sight.
In this case, to escape the current predicament, he would either have to find a way to subdue her completely or uncover the source of her appearance; otherwise, it would be difficult to break free.
With this thought in mind, Su Mu took a deep breath, steadying himself as he scanned his surroundings warily.
At that moment, he suddenly recalled Su Mingyuan, who had been lurking in the shadows and had yet to reveal himself.
In such a critical situation, no one could predict what actions Su Mingyuan might take.
If he were to take advantage of the chaos and join forces with the female ghost against Su Mu, the consequences would be unimaginable...
