With the fall of the leader of the Xuanming Sect, Su Mu and Ye Qiu stood amidst the ruins, gazing at what was once the formidable Xuanming Sect's altar, now reduced to crumbling walls.
However, they knew that this victory was merely the beginning.
Although the leader of the Xuanming Sect had been defeated, countless supernatural mysteries still lurked in the dark corners of this bustling city, waiting for them to unravel.
Su Mu gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Ye Qiu, whose face was set with determination.
The two exchanged a knowing glance, understanding that in order to restore true peace and tranquility to the city, they must eradicate the remnants of the Xuanming Sect and all related bizarre occurrences.
At that moment, Su Mu's phone suddenly rang with an urgent tone.
He quickly answered the call, but before he could speak, a trembling and anxious voice came from the other end— it was the director of the municipal hospital: “Mr. Su! We have a serious situation at our hospital!
Every night, we hear a chilling wail, but we can't find where it's coming from.
Several nurses and patients have already been left in a state of panic, unable to focus on anything.
We've tried everything we can think of to resolve this issue, but we're at our wits' end and had no choice but to reach out to you two!”
After listening to the director's account, Su Mu's expression turned grave. He reassured him, “Please don't worry, Director. Ye Qiu and I will head over right away to investigate.
In the meantime, try your best to calm the medical staff and patients to ensure everyone's safety.” After hanging up, Su Mu and Ye Qiu wasted no time and immediately drove towards the municipal hospital.
On their way, both felt a heavy weight in their hearts as they pondered over what could be causing such strange phenomena in the hospital.
The moment their eyes met, it was as if they shared an unspoken connection; they both sensed that something was amiss.
This abnormal situation was likely caused by the mysterious and dangerous remnants of the Xuanming Sect pulling strings behind the scenes!
Without a moment's hesitation, they sped toward the hospital like arrows released from a bow, determined to unravel the mystery.
As they stepped into the hospital corridor, a chilling and eerie atmosphere enveloped them.
The lights, which should have been bright, now appeared dim and foreboding, stirring a sense of fear within them.
The entire corridor was shrouded in a strange ambiance, with an indescribable coldness permeating the air.
Su Mu took a deep breath, steadying himself before beginning to perform his exquisite divination technique.
He moved his hands gracefully, murmuring incantations as he focused intently on calculating the source of the crying sound.
After a moment, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Qiu, "It seems the crying is coming from below. I believe the basement of the hospital may hold crucial clues."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly in agreement with Su Mu's assessment.
Thus, the two cautiously made their way toward the staircase leading to the basement.
As they descended, the musty and decaying odor intensified, nearly choking them with its suffocating presence.
However, despite the grim environment, they showed no signs of retreat; instead, their resolve to uncover the truth only grew stronger.
Suddenly, a piercing wail erupted, shattering the silence of the basement like a ghostly lament that sent chills down their spines.
Ye Qiu's expression changed as he instinctively tightened his grip on his firearm, scanning the surroundings warily for any sudden threats.
At the same time, Su Mu remained vigilant; he nodded slightly to indicate that he was ready to face any danger that might arise.
In his hand, several silver needles glimmering with a cold light had appeared, ready to strike a lethal blow at any moment.
The two of them coordinated their movements, inching closer to the source of the crying sound.
Finally, they halted in front of a tightly shut door.
"The crying is coming from here," Su Mu whispered.
The door looked old and worn, covered in patches of rust and the marks left by time, giving off an ominous feeling.
As they stepped into the room, a chilling aura rushed towards them.
The room was filled with ancient talismans, which flickered with an eerie glow under the dim light.
In the center of the room stood a massive altar, upon which lay a tattered book—the remnants of the legendary "Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex."
The cover of this book was etched with mysterious symbols, seemingly containing immense power.
"Indeed, it's the remnants of the Xuanming Sect causing trouble again," Su Mu said coldly, his eyes revealing a hint of anger and determination. The Xuanming Sect was an evil cult that had long been eradicated by righteous individuals, yet some of its remnants had remained hidden in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
At that moment, several black-robed cultists suddenly sprang out from the corner of the room.
Their gazes were icy and filled with hostility, as if they intended to devour Su Mu and Ye Qiu. One of the cultists sneered, "Su Mu, Ye Qiu, you have indeed come.
Unfortunately for you, today you are destined to meet your end here!" His voice carried a chilling confidence, as if he already held victory in his grasp.
Su Mu and Ye Qiu exchanged a glance and swiftly entered a combat stance.
Su Mu swiftly performed the divination technique, his fingers moving rapidly through the air as mysterious runes flickered around him.
He calculated the trajectories of the cultists' movements, and the silver needles in his hand shot out like lightning, precisely striking the acupoints of several cultists.
These silver needles were Su Mu's unique weapons, each containing immense power. The cultists hit by them instantly lost their ability to move, collapsing to the ground in pain.
Ye Qiu was equally formidable, her marksmanship flowing like a stream.
She quickly aimed and pulled the trigger, unleashing a rain of bullets that took down several cultists.
Ye Qiu's shooting was incredibly precise; each shot struck vital points, leaving the cultists powerless to retaliate.
The battle ended swiftly, with the cultists lying on the ground, their eyes filled with resentment and anger.
"It’s over," Su Mu said coldly. His voice carried a hint of fatigue but was mostly resolute.
They quickly cleared the room, carefully storing away the remnants of the Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex.
"The cries from the hospital should cease now," Ye Qiu sighed in relief, a hint of a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
They knew that the remnants of the Heavenly Secrets Medical Codex were the source of the hospital's cries; as long as they took it away, everything would return to normal.
