Chapter 11

“Little Taoist priest, what’s wrong with my grandmother?”

Mu Yi’s drastic change in his expression made Su Yingting very impatient .

“It’s much worse than I thought,” Mu Yi said . He wasn’t lying; it was a fact . Her body with filled with the evil Qi of a ghost .

Mu Yi hadn’t thought that the old woman of the Su Clan would be in such a bad condition, she was about to die . He had only thought that she was a little sick and in the early stages .

It was no wonder that they had agreed to let him come that easily . They knew that they had nothing to lose .

“Can you help her?” Mu Yi’s reply made Su Yingying feel less hopeful about the situation .

“I will do my best,” Mu Yi said after remaining silent for a few moments .

The main problem wasn’t the ghost anymore . Instead, it was the old woman’s life .

Unfortunately, Mu Yi had only one exorcism charm, and the old woman’s condition was severe . He didn’t know how to heal her .

The main problem was that even if he had the solution to heal her, one second of inattentiveness could lead to her death and he would be blamed . Therefore, Mu Yi paid attention to what he said, but at the same time, he was still willing to take the risk .

If he didn’t take the risk, the old woman would die that evening . In contrast, she would have a fifty percent chance of living if he did take the risk .

“Miss Yingying, please call your grandfather,” Mu Yi said .

Even though he was willing to take the risk, he couldn’t decide alone . After all, there was only a fifty percent chance . If the old woman survived, then it would be thanks to him . If she died, they might blame him and give Zheng Zicong the opportunity to kill him .

“Alright, I’m going to call him,” Su Yingying said without hesitation as she turned around and left .

After a short time, Su Yingying came back with her grandfather .

“Hello again, little Taoist priest . I’m Su Chongshan . I hope you don’t feel offended for what just happened,” Su Chongshan said apologetically . He didn’t know what Su Yingying had told him .

“Her condition is very severe . I asked you to come because I need to talk to you,” Mu Yi said straightforwardly .

“Please tell me,” Su Chongshan said, looking grave and solemn while the heart of the woman next to the bed started to pound .

“Her condition is extremely severe . It’s worse than I had thought . If I’m not mistaken, she will die soon, right?” Mu Yi said even though he had already understood that when he had arrived .

“Indeed . She’s very old, and many famous doctors have come to see her . Now, she won’t survive for more than two or three days . Please tell me what you think . There is no harm in saying what one thinks,” Su Chongshan said . He was a wise man . He knew what Mu Yi wanted to say .

“If I had come ten days earlier, I could have healed her with an 80-90% success rate . Three days earlier, there would have been a 60% chance . However, now she’s already about to die . Besides, I only have one exorcism charm . If I try it now, there is a small chance it will work, she will either die or survive once it is used . ” Mu Yi said straightforwardly . That way, no matter what happened, he wouldn’t be held responsible .

Of course, he had also exaggerated a little bit just in case . If anything happened, it’d still be better for him .

What he said was clearly impossible . Ten days ago, he had been busy with the living corpse, and three days ago, he wouldn’t have been able to draw the magic symbols for the exorcism charm .

But when Su Yingying heard him, her heart was flooded with feelings of remorse because she had encountered Mu Yi three days ago . If she had told him to come directly, maybe her grandmother would have already recovered by now .

When Su Chongshan heard Mu Yi, he didn’t say anything . Even though the decision he had to make was logical, he was also old and was saddened by the prospect of losing her . It was difficult to come up with a decision . However, the old woman would probably only live a few more days at most, and Mu Yi was his last hope .

Now, the old woman’s life was in his hands .

Su Yingying and the woman said nothing . They weren’t qualified to say anything .

“Please try . If anything happens, you will not be held responsible,” Su Chongshan said, taking a deep breath and sighing . It was a promise .

“Alright,” Mu Yi said . He had precisely hoped that the old man would say that . Then, he took out an exorcism charm . Everybody, including Mu Yi, was nervous as he walked towards the bed .

As he got closer to the bed, Mu Yi sensed that the exorcism charm was starting to shake . He didn’t waste any time as he immediately stuck the exorcism charm onto the old woman’s head near her third eye where the skin was turning black . Then, he activated it immediately .

“Slash!”

The charm started shining, producing white lights that filled the room . The charm’s lights then penetrated into the depths of the old woman’s body, flowing in and out of it before the charm itself turned to ash .

At the same time, the old woman groaned as black Qi surged out from from her seven apertures .

When Mu Yi saw that, he jumped backwards . The black Qi started to disperse in the air, and it smelled horrible .

“Open the window,” Mu Yi said to Su Yingying while holding his breath .

“Ah, alright,” Su Yingying said, coming back to her senses . She ran to the window and opened it .

Some fresh air came into the room, and the bad smell faded a little .

“Little Taoist priest, how is she?” Su Chongshan asked . He looked extremely worried and scared .

Mu Yi walked to the bed again and inspected the old woman . The charm had worked much better than he had expected, and the evil presence in her body was being removed . However, the spot where her third eye was located was still a little bit black .

Regardless, most of the evil presence was expelled from her, the results from the charm could be seen almost instantly . The old woman now started breathing a little bit better . Her skin was no longer as black as it had been at the beginning, and her cheeks now had a tinge of redness .

When Mu Yi saw all that, he exhaled a deep breath of relief . After all, this was the first time he had used an exorcism charm . He had been under a lot of pressure . Luckily, the exorcism charm was effective .

They still needed to expel the remaining black Qi from her body before the old woman would wake up . It was difficult, and Mu Yi knew that another exorcism charm wouldn’t solve the problem . The remaining problem required a different approach .

Before she could be healed, his job would be to kill the spirit that had been possessing the old woman’s body .

“Luckily, I was able to accomplish the first task,” Mu Yi said while smiling at Su Chongshan .
