Su Mu dragged his weary body away from the deep, silent valley, carefully avoiding the relentless pursuers behind him.
He traveled day and night, enduring hardships and sleeping in the open, traversing desolate paths and dense, eerie forests. He faced countless challenges, 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 mastery of Divination, Su Mu wound his way through various routes until he finally arrived at a place called Qingyun Town.
According to Gua Xiang, this was indeed 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 introduced himself to Su Mingyuan and explained the purpose of his visit.
However, to his surprise, the leader's attitude was exceptionally cold.
Although Su Mingyuan eventually acknowledged Su Mu's identity, he seemed utterly unconcerned about the terrifying crisis that Su Mu described.
"Hmph! The Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual has always been guarded by our branch. There has never been any mishap over the years. Your so-called crisis is nothing but your personal delusion," Su Mingyuan replied indifferently.
Faced with such distrust from Su Mingyuan, Su Mu felt a surge of 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 incident of the ambush in the valley to Su Mingyuan and presented the precious token entrusted to him by his uncle, Su Yuanshan, as proof.
At first, Su Mingyuan remained skeptical, but when he laid eyes on the 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 there really is a Crisis Approaches, it is merely an issue for your faction to deal with; it has nothing to do with us!" Su Mingyuan's words were like a cold wind blowing through, chilling to the bone.
His narrow eyes flickered with indifference and disdain, as if Su Mu and the faction he represented were nothing more than insignificant beings.
Su Mu was momentarily taken aback; he had never imagined that such deep rifts existed within the Su Family.
All along, he had believed 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 various branches but even the ownership of the legendary Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual had become a focal point of their hidden and open strife.
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 prejudices and join forces to fend off external threats, protecting the invaluable Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual.
Taking a deep breath, Su Mu worked hard to calm his turbulent emotions and sincerely said, "Uncle Mingyuan, with such a great enemy at hand, if we continue to waste our energy on internal strife, we will only give our enemies an opportunity. Why don’t we temporarily set aside our differences and work together to protect the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual first? After all, this Medical Compendium is a treasure that has been passed down through generations of our Su Family!"
However, Su Mingyuan paid no heed to Su Mu's words.
He coldly stared at the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual in Su Mu's hands, his eyes revealing an 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 and eerie aura suddenly swept in without warning, enveloping the entire room in an instant.
Su Mu felt a jolt of fear; an indescribable familiar chill surged up within him like a tidal wave.
The chilling, bone-piercing aura was something he had experienced firsthand—was it not the same presence that emanated from the Yuan Hun he encountered in that eerie, terrifying 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 face twisted further in fear, becoming grotesquely unappealing.
As this sudden coldness spread through the room, the temperature 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 specter, causing the candle flames on the table to flicker violently, occasionally producing terrifying crackling sounds.
In that moment, a ghostly figure with disheveled hair and a twisted face appeared silently in the center of the room.
She opened her gaping mouth and let out a heart-wrenching, soul-piercing wail that seemed capable of penetrating one's very soul, instilling a deep sense of dread. Indeed, this female ghost was none other than the Yuan Hun that Su Mu had encountered earlier in the mortuary!
Seeing this scene, Su Mingyuan turned pale with fright and screamed, "A ghost! Help me!" Clearly, he had never anticipated encountering such a supernatural being 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 Yuan Hun 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 Yuan Hun'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 techniques recorded in the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual, 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...
