Su Mu nimbly dodged left and right, evading the fierce attacks of the female ghost.
At that moment, his mind raced as he pondered a strategy to deal with the situation.
He understood that ordinary methods of attack would be ineffective against such an ethereal spirit. The only way to resolve the imminent crisis was to uncover the source of her grievances.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he attempted once more to communicate with the female ghost. "What kind of injustice have you suffered? Please tell me; perhaps I can help you!" However, all he received in response was her chilling wail.
Just then, Su Mu suddenly sensed a faint ripple of consciousness.
He dared not slacken his focus and concentrated all his energy, asking again, "Could it be... that you are from the Su Family?" Miraculously, the ghost's relentless wailing paused for a brief moment.
Then, a vague and indistinct voice reached Su Mu's ears: "Help... help me..."
Hearing this made Su Mu's heart skip a beat. He thought to himself: It seems my earlier speculation was indeed correct; this female ghost must have some deep connection to the Su Family.
With this realization, he seized the opportunity and pressed on. "May I ask your name? What exactly happened to you? Please speak freely; I will do my utmost to assist you!"
The female ghost seemed to muster all her strength to convey her message, her words coming out in fragmented bursts: "I... surname Su... named Wan... was wronged... and died..."
"Su Wan? Who caused your death?" Su Mu asked, his face filled with shock as urgency and anxiety seeped into his voice.
At that moment, the ghost's figure grew increasingly indistinct, her voice fading as if she were about to vanish into the endless darkness: "Su... Su Mingyuan... medical records... dispute..."
As soon as the name "Su Mingyuan" reached Su Mu's ears, his heart trembled violently, and a chill surged up his spine.
Could it be that this pitiful female ghost was harmed by her own kin—Su Mingyuan?
What did she mean by "the dispute over the medical compendium"?
Could it be that Su Mingyuan would go so far as to kill innocent people in order to obtain that mysterious "Heavenly Secrets Medical Compendium"?
Just as Su Mu's thoughts were in turmoil, Su Mingyuan suddenly shouted, "Stop your tricks! Watch me deal with you!" He swiftly pulled out a talisman glowing with an unusual light from his pocket and aimed it directly at the female ghost without hesitation.
Seeing that the talisman was about to hit the ghost, Su Mu's heart sank.
Although he did not know what powerful talisman Su Mingyuan was using at that moment, if it were to stick to the female ghost, she would likely be obliterated on the spot. In that case, they would never uncover the truth hidden behind this matter.
In a critical moment, without thinking further, Su Mu dashed forward like a gust of wind and resolutely stood in front of the female ghost.
"Su Mingyuan, what do you think you're doing?" Su Mu glared angrily and shouted.
Su Mingyuan's face darkened like a stormy sky; he gritted his teeth and replied fiercely, "This evil spirit is causing trouble here and committing crimes. As a member of the Su Family, it is my duty to eliminate her completely for the peace of our land!"
"Don't do it!" Su Mu quickly called out. "This female ghost died unjustly; you must not harm her life so easily!"
However, Su Mingyuan ignored Su Mu's words, snorting coldly with a look of disdain as he mocked, "Unjustly? What grievance does she have? Are you just going to take her word for it? To me, your obstruction clearly shows that you are intentionally protecting this female ghost!"
With a swift motion of his arm, a talisman shimmering with a cold light shot forth like an arrow, aimed directly at Su Mu.
Su Mu knew that this was not the time to entangle himself with Su Mingyuan. The priority was to protect the female ghost and find a way to extract the truth from her.
In an instant, he darted to the side, skillfully evading the talisman launched by Su Mingyuan.
At the same time, he did not stop moving; he continued to dodge left and right, desperately avoiding the relentless onslaught from Su Mingyuan, while still making an effort to communicate with the female ghost, hoping to gather more useful clues and information.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense and oppressive, as if the very air had solidified.
This thrilling life-and-death struggle between man and ghost, coupled with the intricate conflicts within the Su Family, was on the verge of erupting like a volcano, ready to explode...
