Su Mu moved like a ghost, dodging left and right, narrowly avoiding the relentless attacks from Su Mingyuan that came with fierce winds.
At the same time, he focused intently on trying to establish a connection and communicate with the ghost of Su Wan.
In that moment, Su Wan's spirit appeared extremely weak, like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
Her voice was intermittent, like torn silk, struggling to convey her tragic experiences to Su Mu.
It turned out that Su Wan was actually the biological sister of Su Mingyuan!
Moreover, Su Wan was also skilled in medicine and had an extraordinary understanding and insight into the mysterious "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual."
However, such a talented and kind-hearted woman had suffered inhumane persecution at the hands of her own brother, Su Mingyuan, many years ago.
At that time, driven by greed, Su Mingyuan meticulously plotted a scheme to possess the legendary "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" for himself, cruelly putting his own sister, Su Wan, to death.
Not only that, but to cover up his crime, he cleverly disguised Su Wan's death as a seemingly ordinary accident.
Since then, Su Wan, who died wrongfully with resentment in her heart, could not find peace and ultimately transformed into a vengeful spirit, wandering near the Su Family day and night.
After hearing this heartbreaking tale, a fierce anger ignited within Su Mu.
He could hardly believe that the usually righteous-looking Su Mingyuan could be so heartless as to harm his own sister for the sake of a mere book like the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual." It was utterly inhumane!
At that moment, Su Mu silently vowed to ensure that this wicked individual received the punishment he deserved, to bring peace to Su Wan's spirit in the afterlife.
"Su Mingyuan, how can you still dare to argue at this point? Do you really intend to wait until the truth is revealed for all to see before admitting your sins?"
Su Mu's eyes blazed with fury as he fixed his gaze on Su Mingyuan, his angry stare seeming to pierce through the very soul of the man before him.
Biting his lip, Su Mu's hands trembled slightly from the strain of holding back his grief and rage. He recounted Su Wan's tragic fate to Su Mingyuan in excruciating detail.
Each word struck Su Mingyuan like a hammer, causing him to instinctively take a few steps back.
Despite his face turning as pale as paper, Su Mingyuan's eyes continued to flicker, clearly engaged in an intense internal struggle.
Yet, even in this moment of turmoil, the despicable man refused to relent. Instead, he shamelessly retorted, "Hmph! Do not speak such nonsense! This female ghost merely seeks to sow discord between us; you will not deceive me!"
At that moment, the ghost of Su Wan, who had remained silent until now, suddenly let out a heart-wrenching wail.
Her cries echoed like the mournful hoot of an owl or the lament of wronged souls from the depths of the underworld, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
The sound seemed to be filled with endless resentment and pain, as if it were revealing the atrocities Su Mingyuan had inflicted upon her.
As Su Wan's ghost cried out, the malevolent energy in the room thickened dramatically.
The already dim light was completely swallowed by darkness, leaving only a few faint beams of moonlight streaming through the window to illuminate the terrified faces of those inside.
Simultaneously, the temperature in the room plummeted sharply; a bone-chilling current gripped everyone’s throats like invisible hands, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
Su Mu knew all too well that if this stalemate continued, things would only worsen.
Not only was there a risk that the Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex might fall into the hands of villains, but even Su Wan's soul would likely find no peace. With that thought in mind, he dared not hesitate any longer. Taking a deep breath, he began to channel the mysterious techniques from the Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex with all his might.
He swiftly formed intricate and obscure hand seals with both hands, chanting incantations under his breath. A stream of pure spiritual energy surged forth from his body, flowing steadily through his fingertips and into Su Wan's soul.
Under the nurturing power of this potent energy, Su Wan's once ethereal soul began to solidify gradually. Her previously indistinct features became clearer, even the traces of tears on her face were faintly discernible. As her soul stabilized, the piercing cries that had filled the air finally began to subside.
Watching Su Wan's spirit regain its calm, Su Mu stepped forward gently, reaching out to tenderly caress her cheek, his eyes filled with compassion.
He whispered softly, "Su Wan, don’t worry. I will seek justice for you and ensure that scoundrel receives the punishment he deserves. No matter the cost, I will not hesitate..."
Su Wan's ghost cast a grateful glance at Su Mu before slowly fading away into the air.
Seeing this, Su Mingyuan felt a chill wash over him. He realized that the situation was beyond redemption; the mistakes he had made were finally being exposed.
It was as if he had lost all strength, slowly collapsing to the ground. His body made a faint sound upon contact with the cold earth, but at that moment, it seemed utterly insignificant.
In his once sharp eyes now lay only endless fear and profound despair. The fear felt like a malevolent spirit from the depths of hell, gradually consuming his last remnants of sanity; despair weighed down upon him like heavy shackles, binding his soul and preventing any escape.
At that moment, Su Mu stepped steadily in front of Su Mingyuan.
Looking down at this once-mighty man, a cold smile appeared on his face. Yet that smile did not reach his eyes; instead, they held a gaze as frigid as frost.
"Su Mingyuan, do you know your crimes? The sins you have committed are simply beyond redemption! Today, I will expose your misdeeds to the world, so that the entire Su Family can see your true colors!"
Su Mu's voice was as cold as the winter wind in December, each word striking like a sharp sword aimed directly at Su Mingyuan's heart.
Hearing this, Su Mingyuan's body trembled involuntarily.
He raised his head, looking at Su Mu with a pleading gaze, murmuring, "No... please... don't treat me this way..." But to Su Mu, his pleas sounded like the futile struggles of a defeated man.
Su Mu paid no heed to Su Mingyuan's desperate cries. Resolutely, he turned away and stepped out of the room without hesitation.
He understood all too well that the person before him was no longer worth wasting any time or energy on.
Moreover, there were more important and urgent tasks awaiting his attention.
He knew that in order to fully expose Su Mingyuan's crimes, he needed to quickly find other members of the Su Family and make them aware of the truth.
At the same time, he had to ensure that the invaluable "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" remained safe and secure; it must not fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives.
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
With this thought in mind, Su Mu quickened his pace.
This thrilling family conflict had only just begun…
