Su Mu nimbly dodged left and right, evading the fierce attacks of the female ghost.
At this moment, his mind raced as he contemplated a strategy.
He understood that ordinary methods of attack would be ineffective against such an ethereal spirit. The only way to resolve the crisis before him was to uncover the source of her resentment.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he once again attempted 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 detected a faint wave of consciousness.
He dared not slacken his focus and immediately concentrated all his energy, asking again, "Could it be... you are from the Su Family?" Miraculously, the ghost's continuous wailing paused for a brief moment.
Then, a vague and indistinct voice reached Su Mu's ears: "Help... save me..."
Hearing this, Su Mu's heart jolted. He thought to himself: It seems my earlier suspicion was indeed correct; this female ghost must have some deep connection to the Su Family.
With this realization, he quickly pressed on, "May I ask your name? What kind of misfortune have you encountered? Please speak freely; I will do everything in my power to assist you!"
The ghost seemed to muster all her strength to convey her message, her words coming out in fits and starts: "I... surname Su... given name Wan... was framed... and died..."
"Su Wan? Who caused your death?" Su Mu asked, his face filled with shock as urgency and unease crept into his voice.
At that moment, the ghost's figure became increasingly indistinct, her voice growing weaker as if she might vanish into the endless darkness at any moment: "Su... Su Mingyuan... Medical Compendium... struggle..."
As the name "Su Mingyuan" reached Su Mu's ears, his heart trembled violently, a chill rising from his spine.
Could it be that this pitiful female ghost was harmed by her own kin—Su Mingyuan?
What did she mean by the "struggle for the Medical Compendium"?
Could it be that Su Mingyuan would go so far as to kill innocent people to obtain the mysterious "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual"?
Just as Su Mu's thoughts spiraled into chaos, Su Mingyuan suddenly shouted, "Stop playing tricks! Watch me deal with you!" He swiftly pulled out a talisman glowing with an unusual light from his pocket and shot it towards the female ghost without hesitation.
Seeing the talisman 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 destroyed on the spot. If that happened, they would never uncover the truth hidden behind this matter.
In a moment of desperation, Su Mu did not have time to think further; he dashed forward like a gust of wind and resolutely positioned himself 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, his teeth clenched as he responded fiercely, "This Evil Spirit is causing chaos here and committing wrongdoing. As a member of the Su Family, I have a responsibility to eradicate her completely for the sake of peace!"
"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, only letting out a cold snort and sneering disdainfully, "Unjustly? What grievance does she have? Are you just going to take her word for it? From where I stand, your obstruction is clearly an attempt to protect this 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...
