As soon as he entered the room, Lv Zhong’s gaze fell upon an elderly man lying in a hospital bed. For a while, he paid little attention to Wen Qiuhui, who was silently crying next to the bed. This old man seemed extremely frail, his body thin and skeletal, his face devoid of flesh, cheekbones protruding, and his eyes deeply sunken. Doing a quick calculation, Lv Zhong suspected that this man’s weight was probably less than 60 kilograms. Although the man appeared elderly and haggard, Lv Zhong confirmed that this was the same Zheng Tianle he used to know. Upon confirming that the man was Zheng Tianle, Lv Zhong was left astonished. Just three months ago, Zheng Kaile seemed just like a normal wealthy man in his fifties, an open-minded optimistic man who accepted his fate. But now, he had become this ghost of a person? “When did Elder Zheng start to change rapidly?” Lv Zhong asked with knitted brows, instinctively. “Little Zhong, your Uncle Zheng fell ill only three days ago. When the disease first struck, a dark aura seemed to envelop his face. However, upon feeling a twinge in his chest and consuming a Fast-Acting Heart Saving Pill, the pain subsided and he didn’t give it further thought. Over the subsequent three days, he showed no symptoms but his weight plummeted at a terrifying rate. Today, he almost breathed his last, but when Little Linglong arrived, placing a black jade talisman on his forehead, his life seemed to hang by a thread…” Wen Qiuhui hurriedly took over the conversation, having noticed that Lv Zhong had arrived. Three days? Lv Zhong was horrified! He had never seen anyone lose 70 to 80 kilograms in weight within three days. Upon hearing about the jade talisman that Zheng Linglong had placed on Zheng Tianle’s body, Lv Zhong felt a surge in his heart. He immediately sensed the Exorcism Talisman he had given to Zheng Linglong was releasing energy to protect the Sea of Consciousness acupuncture point on Zheng Tianle’s forehead. Seeing Lv Zhong’s gaze turn towards the jade talisman, Zheng Linglong hurriedly transmitted a message asking, “Husband, my grandfather’s condition is extremely strange. Is he ill, or has he been cursed?” With her cultivation now in the late stage of Love/Foundation Building and Lv Zhong having taught her some minor cultivation techniques, she had just about managed to learn this Voice Transmission technique. “Let me take a look first!” Lv Zhong replied, quietly activating his Micro Yin-Yang Eye. The moment he activated the Micro Yin-Yang Eye, Lv Zhong immediately discovered that an astonishing death-qi permeated Zheng Tianle’s body. His life force was virtually extinguished, with only a fraction remaining! “Chi!” Lv Zhong couldn’t help but suck in his breath. A life force that has shrunk to only a fraction of its original size not only suggests a grave illness, but also imminent death! With the Micro Yin-Yang Eye, Lv Zhong could tell at a glance that had it not been for the Exorcism Talisman he had given Zheng Linglong to hold onto, Zheng Tianle would have long since met his demise. “How could Zheng Tianle’s body have accumulated so much death-qi within a few short months?” Lv Zhong frowned in contemplation as the Micro Yin-Yang Eye carefully scanned Zheng Tianle. Within Zheng Tianle’s body, save for a bit of vitality in his head, the rest of his body had been almost entirely consumed by death-qi. This death-qi was wildly wreaking havoc on Zheng Tianle’s physical body, devouring the essence within his flesh and blood. The place where death-qi was the most concentrated was shockingly Zheng Tianle’s heart. “Huh?” Lv Zhong suddenly gasped. He had found something strange inside Zheng Tianle’s heart. It was a peculiar miniature sickle, about the size of half a pinky nail. However, this small item was emanating a shocking amount of death-qi. It was this thing that was stripping Zheng Tianle of his essence and spirit, leading to these severe consequences. Had it not been for Zheng Linglong having the Exorcism Talisman Lv Zhong had given her and placing it on her grandfather Zheng Tianle’s body at the right time, Zheng Tianle would certainly have already become a lifeless body. “This object must be quite powerful. Just by instinctively devouring Zheng Tianle’s essence and spirit, it managed to produce such severe consequences, and is even gradually suppressing the energy of the Exorcism Talisman. Had I not come, the talisman’s energy would have been completely suppressed and shattered by it in less than two hours. By then, not even the gods could have saved Zheng Tianle.” After discerning the cause, Lv Zhong heaved a sigh of relief. However, he frowned again in deep contemplation. This peculiar miniature sickle must be a middle-ranked Netherworld Artifact with a death spirit. It seems that this death spirit had taken severe damage in the past and is now instinctively regenerating. “Tsk, tsk, first it was a low-grade spiritual weapon, now it’s a mid-level underworld artifact. I say, is Zheng Tianle’s luck good enough to burst or rotten enough to shred?” Muttering to himself quietly, Lv Zhong’s expression finally relaxed. Upon seeing Lv Zhong’s relaxed expression, Zheng Linglong immediately reacted, and excitedly asked through voice transmission: “Husband, so you have a way to save my grandfather?” Nodding his head, Lv Zhong smiled, “Don’t worry, I have a plan. Not only can we save Elder Zheng, but we can also get a good thing.” “Hehe, as long as my grandfather can be saved, I don’t care about any treasure…” Zheng Linglong was almost moved to tears with joy. This time, neither Lv Zhong nor Zheng Linglong used the Voice Transmission technique. As soon as their words came out, it shocked Wen Qiuhui and Zheng Qiuli, who had just walked in. “Ah…, Little Zhong, is it really possible to save the old man?” Wen Qiuhui called out in disbelief and joy. If not for Zheng Linglong’s insistence on bringing Lv Zhong here, Wen Qiuhui had even planned to accept the fate of it all. The top doctors who were invited from Tianjing had already diagnosed Zheng Tianle with an incurable disease they had never seen before, his life force depleted, and restored hope was impossible. However, somehow, Lv Zhong said that there is hope. This dramatic turn of events had left Wen Qiuhui shocked! “Dad really has hope?” Several shocked and delighted voices came from outside the door. It was Zheng Shuyu and Zheng Hongmei who showed up behind Zheng Qiuli, faces filled with excitement, and behind them, Leng Feng, Leng Mei, Dongfang Baoyu and others all entered the room with surprised faces. These people were initially scattered all over the place, each having their own ventures. It’s hard for them to gather all at the same time. But everyone assumed this was Zheng Tianle’s last moment. In order to see Zheng Tianle for the last time, these people returned to City Yan as soon as they could. Before Lv Zhong could respond, Huang Guangping, who had followed behind Situ Xinghua, subconsciously shouted: “This is impossible. Elder Zheng’s life force is already gone, there’s absolutely no way for him to live…” Before he could finish his sentence, Huang Guangping finally reacted and quickly closed his mouth. Even so, everyone in the Zheng family heard what Huang Guangping had said. In the ears of the Zheng family, this guy was obviously cursing Zheng Tianle to death! “I… I am not cursing Elder Zheng…” Huang Guangping was on the verge of tears, and quickly explained: “It’s just… just Elder Zheng really…” However, he couldn’t say anything more. Because, all the people of the Zheng Family were looking at him angrily. Sёarᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even Leng Feng and Situ Xinghua had murderous looks on their faces. “Little Zhong, is… is what you said true?” Wen Qiuhui looked at Lv Zhong eagerly, full of expectation, fearing that Lv Zhong was just saying those words to comfort her. “Rest assured, I, Lv Zhong, don’t like to speak without thinking. If I say I can save someone, then I can definitely save them!” Lv Zhong gave a slight smile and spoke softly. But his calm voice revealed incomparable pride. “Well… then we will rely on Little Zhong!” Zheng Shuyu had a happy face, her eyes filled with tears of joy. Having Lv Zhong as a son-in-law was absolutely a fortunate encounter. “Rest assured, leave the rest to me. Um, stay, Sister Linglong, I need your help, others can leave.” Lv Zhong nodded and responded. Leng Feng knew that Lv Zhong was capable of suppressing the Eastern World Family, and though Huang Guangping wasn’t able to save his father-in-law, it didn’t mean Lv Zhong couldn’t. Because Leng Feng secretly suspected that Lv Zhong was among those rare individuals in the world. “Little Zhong, just do your best, we will be waiting outside for good news.” Leng Feng glanced at Lv Zhong and ordered. Lv Zhong nodded, then waved his hand at the crowd, indicating that the unrelated people should leave. After the others left the room one by one, Zheng Linglong looked at Lv Zhong excitedly, and asked softly, “Husband, how can I help you?” “Hehe, Linglong, do you know why Elder Zheng became like this?” Lv Zhong asked with a smile. Zheng Linglong had just started her path of cultivation not long ago, and she didn’t have any spiritual sense, let alone the ability to see through things or see yin and yang, so how could she know what was going on inside Zheng Tianle’s body, and so she shook her head. Lv Zhong chuckled and said, “You don’t know, but there is an underworld artifact in Zheng Tianle’s body. This artifact is on the same level as spiritual weapons, but it’s more domineering. This underworld artifact is swallowing Zheng Tianle’s essence, his Qi, his spirit, which is what has made Zheng Tianle like this.” What? Zheng Linglong’s face drastically changed, and she said with a pale face, “Then why don’t you hurry up and take that horrifying thing out…” “Don’t rush!” Lv Zhong shrugged and said, “If it weren’t for your cooperation, I might be able to take the underworld artifact out, but doing so would endanger Zheng Tianle’s life.” “I… I can help?” Zheng Linglong’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, but as it was related to her grandfather’s life, she said, “As long as I can help, just command me. I just hope you can take action as soon as possible.” Lv Zhong laughed and said, “This underworld artifact has something to do with the underworld hell, and you have the constitution of the Mysterious Yin Icy Body, and have already embarked on the path of cultivation, so, the true Qi in your body can lure this underworld artifact out. As long as it voluntarily leaves Zheng Tianle’s body, I have the ability to capture it. At that time, Zheng Tianle’s condition would naturally be nothing to worry about, and you could also get an underworld artifact-level magical treasure. This is a great chance for you. Of course, this underworld artifact is currently very heavy with Sha Qi, I must first clear out the accumulated Sha Qi for you, and only then will you be able to use it…” (To be continued.
