Chapter 10: The Person Who Prolongs Life Through the Spirit-Gathering Formation

It seemed that Li Chen’s footsteps had disturbed him. The tall and skinny man standing beside the bed lifted his head, casting a cold glance toward Li Chen.

The man had a pale complexion and appeared to be in his forties. His dry and disheveled hair looked somewhat filthy. He had a very short beard, but what caught the eye were his unusual eyes—one blue and one purple—making him look very eerie.

“You young people really have no manners! Leave immediately! This place is not for you!” The man arrogantly spat out, immediately lowering his gaze back to Wu Yi, who was lying in the bed.

Just then, a thought flashed across Li Chen’s mind standing at the door.

An exorcist!

Li Chen recognized the man’s identity and gave a cold smile. A mere exorcist was considered insignificant in the world of cultivation, yet here on Earth, he was acting so brazenly!

“Ghost Master!” At that moment, Mu Si, who had come back to his senses, finally ran up. Seeing that Li Chen had not disturbed the Ghost Master, he somewhat relaxed.

“Has the Evil Saint Master arrived?” The man known as Ghost Master asked without lifting his head.

“Not yet. I’ve just contacted Elder Mu; the Evil Saint Master is still en route by plane,” Mu Si hurriedly answered.

“If he hasn’t arrived, what are you doing here? And this youngster, chase him away immediately!” The Ghost Master chastised without courtesy.

A flash of anger crossed Mu Si’s eyes. This Ghost Master was merely an average folk magician, how dare he be so impolite to him!

“Ghost Master! You’d better remember your place!” Mu Si retorted coldly.

“Hehehe! Your young mistress’s life is in my hands now! Are you not afraid that I might make a mistake if you are rude to me?” The Ghost Master laughed malevolently, lifting his eerie eyes to stare coldly at Mu Si.

Mu Si’s face turned ashen, but he dared not say anything further.

Both the Ghost Master and the Evil Saint Master, who was still on the plane, had been invited by Elder Mu to suppress the poison curse affecting his granddaughter Mu Wuyi. As her safety was at stake, Mu Si did not dare to be negligent. (TL: Wu Yi, changed to Wuyi)

However, although he didn’t say it out loud, Mu Si was mentally cursing the entire family of the Ghost Master.

The main person that Elder Mu had invited tonight was actually the Evil Saint Master. This Ghost Master was just an addition to prepare some initial arrangements for the Evil Saint Master.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Mu Wuyi, who had a calm face before, suddenly opened her eyes wide, filled with terror. She took a deep breath and then screamed shrilly!

The piercing scream echoed far into the night, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Not good!” Gui Jiang’s face had changed drastically, as he hastily took a step back, distancing himself from Mu Wuyi. Meanwhile, Li Chen had rushed to the bedside and began examining Mu Wuyi with a furrowed brow.

Moments later, as if she had exhausted all her strength, Mu Wuyi had finally stopped screaming. Her eyes tightly shut, she had passed out again, although her face had already turned black and blue.

“Master Gui, what was that scream just now?” Mu Si had quickly approached the bedside, his expression grave as he questioned Gui Jiang.

“Miss Mu’s Three Corpses Gu poison had suddenly erupted! The situation is deteriorating rapidly!” Gui Jiang said, his tone heavy.

On the other side, Li Chen had also discovered that Mu Wuyi’s life was hanging by a thread. Without wasting any more time, he had extended his hand to suppress the erupting Gu poison within her body.

Smack!

Li Chen’s outstretched hand had been forcefully slapped away by Gui Jiang.

“What are you doing!” Gui Jiang had angrily rebuked.

“Move aside! If we don’t act now, it’ll be too late!” Li Chen had insisted.

“You!” Gui Jiang, holding his breath, had turned his rage into a scoff. “Who do you think you are! Do you honestly believe you can save her? Truly overestimating yourself!”

Pausing for a moment, Gui Jiang had coldly continued, “I had been suppressing Miss Mu’s condition perfectly fine until you recklessly intruded. How could it have possibly erupted all of a sudden?”

“You really know how to seize an opportunity to show off,” Li Chen had coldly retorted. “When I came in, you hadn’t done anything. The Gu poison within her had erupted simply because it had reached its limit.”

“Youngster! What do you know!” Gui Jiang, exposed by Li Chen, had still maintained his icy tone.

“Master Gui! What’s the holdup? Stop squabbling and save her!” From the other side, Mu Si had shouted urgently.

“Me? You think I don’t want to? But how can I save her? With her current condition, even if a saintly healer stepped in, there’d hardly be a thirty percent chance of success!” Gui Jiang had sighed deeply, pacing around the room with his hands behind his back.

“So… you’ve got to think of something!” Mu Si’s tone had taken on a hint of pleading, a far cry from his earlier cold demeanor.

“Well, it’s not like there’s no wa—” Gui Jiang had been shaking his head and speaking when Li Chen had interrupted him.

“I can save her,” Li Chen had said calmly, capturing the attention of both Mu Si and Gui Jiang.

“Kid! Stop playing hero! What will you use to save her!” Gui Jiang, interrupted by Li Chen, had glared angrily.

Listening to Li Chen’s words, a glimmer of hope had ignited in Mu Si’s heart. He had already called Mu Lao earlier; the saintly healer’s plane was still en route and couldn’t arrive for a while.

Although Mu Si had been skeptical about Li Chen, the coin that Li Chen had casually tossed earlier had profoundly shocked him. At that moment, Mu Si felt like a drowning man grasping at straws. How could he not give it a try?

“Sir, if you could please act quickly!” Mu Si hesitated only briefly before bowing respectfully towards Li Chen.

“Mu Si!” Gui Jiang quickly stepped in front of Mu Wu Yi’s bed, internally cursing. ‘This Mu Si usually appears so composed, why is he acting impulsively now?’

“Master Gui! If you have the capability, then act quickly; if not, then please step aside! If anything happens to Miss Wuyi, beware for your life!” Mu Si coldly warned, his piercing gaze unwavering.

Gui Jiang darkened his face. He was seething inside but dared not vent his anger. This Mu Si was not merely Elder Mu’s personal guard; even in the martial world that existed outside conventional society, Mu Si had a high reputation.

“Lord Mu Si, if I forcibly take action, it’s not like there are no options. Are you sure you want this unknown kid to interfere? Can you bear the responsibility if something goes wrong?” Gui Jiang asked through gritted teeth, shooting a cold glance at Li Chen.

“I don’t care who takes action! As long as there’s certainty in saving the young lady!” Mu Si responded coldly, solely concerned about Mu Wuyi’s safety.

“I…” Gui Jiang found himself at a loss for words. He had indeed been speaking so much because he lacked confidence.

Although Mu Wuyi’s ‘Three Corpses Gu’ poison had already erupted, Gui Jiang had, in fact, held a small 10% chance of saving her. However, that slim chance was far too low, and the likelihood of it leading to Mu Wuyi’s death was high.

Thus, Gui Jiang had initially planned to stall, making Mu Si anxious and desperate enough to take a risky decision, thereby allowing himself to take a risky action.

If he succeeded, Gui Jiang would naturally become Mu Wuyi’s life-saving benefactor. Even if he failed, the conditions had been set in advance, and Elder Mu wouldn’t hold him accountable in the future.

But now, because of Li Chen, his perfectly conceived last-minute plan had fallen apart!

Angrily, Gui Jiang snorted and stormed out of the room. ‘I need to see how this ignorant kid is going to meet his end!’

“You should leave as well,” Li Chen said to Mu Si.

“May… may I stay?” Mu Si was still not entirely trusting of Li Chen.

“You may not.” Li Chen shook his head lightly, casually took out a coin, and flashed it at Mu Si. The message was clear: if I had ill intentions, your presence here would be useless.

After a moment’s hesitation, Mu Si spoke coldly, “If you can save the young lady, you’ll be generously rewarded later. But if you mess around, no matter how strong you are, I will personally kill you!”

Having said this, Mu Si cast a worried look at Mu Wuyi on the bed before reluctantly turning around and leaving.
