Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Summoning a Day’s Mingyue, Illuminating My Heart Full of Ice and Snow (Requesting for Monthly Ticket Rewards) Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Summoning a Day’s Mingyue, Illuminating My Heart Full of Ice and Snow (Requesting for Monthly Ticket Rewards) But eerily,
even though this man was covered in sores and looked terrifyingly fierce, he emitted a strange fragrance.
This scent, bewitchingly mysterious, enticed people to lean in closer to smell it.
Chen Yuan frowned, suppressing the desire brought about by the fragrance, and concentrated his Heart Eye to examine the anomalies in this person.
Beneath the Heart Eye, the man’s internal organs were all covered by blazing red luminous spots, accumulating more and more.
As if about to burst forth at any moment.
Then, he leaned over and took the man’s pulse with his hand.
Attempting to channel in True Qi.
The next second, his expression subtly changed.
As his True Qi surged in, the red luminous spots flared up like oil on fire.
Traveling along his True Qi, they clung like bone maggots, voraciously multiplying.
Acting as if they were nourishment.
Chen Yuan’s body shook slightly, he abruptly broke off and withdrew his hand.
His expression darkened.
This man was beyond saving.
Those ghostly entities had devoured his vitality entirely.
“Tell me about your husband’s situation, from start to finish, in detail.”
He looked towards the woman.
The woman, gazing at her husband on the bed, said mournfully:
“My husband, Lin Sheng, is a Dart Master at the You Mountain Escort Agency.
Two days ago, he returned from a mission to Five Miles Temple, mentioned encountering something strange and losing manpower, but refused to elaborate.
The next day, his body suddenly ran hot.
Thinking he was just shocked or caught a cold, I prepared medicine, but just now, he screamed in agony, his body broke out in these terrifying pustules, then he lost his senses, I am scared…”
She hadn’t finished speaking when,
she couldn’t help coughing.
Hearing this, Chen Yuan suddenly remembered something mentioned in the records,
You Mountain Escort Agency, Lin Sheng, Five Miles Temple.
While he was contemplating, the man on the bed suddenly with bloodshot eyes, burst forth.
He roared and lunged at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan’s eyes hardened, and he repelled him with a palm.
But the next second, the man let out a pained howl.
The fiery red pustules burst open.
Spewing out numerous red luminous spots.
This scene made Chen Yuan think of a word.
And those red luminous dots, with an intelligence of their own, howled towards Chen Yuan and the woman.
Chen Yuan’s face darkened, his Fist Mastery vibrated, his fists swung repeatedly, grinding those entities.
Seeing them cling like bone maggots and devour True Qi, he rubbed his hands together to spark a flame.
With a flick of his sleeves, he trapped these entities in fire.
Slowly exterminating them.
It took nearly half a tea’s time to completely eradicate those entities.
At this moment, the woman seeing Chen Yuan’s techniques, was stunned for a moment before something struck her.
She glanced at the bed and her eyes nearly split open in shock.
Her husband’s body had been drained dry, turned into a mummified corpse.
Overcome by grief, she attempted to rush forward.
Blocked by Chen Yuan.
The woman collapsed to the ground, murmuring “How could this happen,” then clutching her chest, began to cough painfully.
Her breathing turned rapid and weak.
While Chen Yuan just silently observed.
Looking at the crimson wound on the woman’s shoulder.
He guessed something.
Directly reached out to probe inside her body.
“You’ve been infected too.”
“I’m afraid you won’t last much longer!”
“I can send you on your final journey!”
With an expression neither sad nor happy, Chen Yuan informed the woman.
Upon hearing this, the woman gave a bitter chuckle.
Looking up at Chen Yuan,
“That’s probably for the best!”
“Before I die, I want to know who is sending my husband and me on our final journey?”
Chen Yuan stayed silent, then spoke,
“Mountain Patrol Military Officer, Chen Yuan!”
Hearing this, the woman’s expression drastically changed.
She instantly knelt down, knocking her forehead on the ground until it bled.
Then she looked up, seemingly using all her strength,
“I, a humble woman, know that neither I nor my husband were victims of human malice.”
“My husband died abruptly, and my life is also nearing its end.
I respectfully ask you, sir, to seek justice for me and my husband!”
“Even in death, I wish to die with clarity.”
The woman remained kneeling.
Chen Yuan said nothing and walked out of the house.
He left Qingshan County that very night.
Standing by the riverbank at the wilderness ferry, he blew a loud whistle on his short flute.
A black-cloaked boat appeared silently from the darkness, cutting through the waves.
Chen Yuan boarded the boat, stood with his back turned, and traveled up against the current.
A sense of alertness sparked between his brows!
The experience just now was somewhat eerie.
Like pollen spores, it parasitized from the host, sucking away all the vitality.
Like a chronic bone sepsis,
This didn’t seem like the work of a low-level demon.
He needed to investigate further before deciding on a plan.
Chen Yuan thought of the couple he had just encountered and sighed.
Alone in an era of chaos.
He felt his heart gradually hardening.
Looking at the full moon hanging in the sky, he remembered his homeland.
Chaotic thoughts started surging wildly.
Summoning a bright moon, reflecting my heart full of ice and snow, sweeping through the Dangbai River.
Destination, Five Miles Temple!
Under a full moon, Chen Yuan cut through the waves.
