Chapter 7: A Sudden Change at Home

"How is that possible? I was only on vacation for fourteen days, and they were all fine when I left." Wu Can, feeling anxious, rushed to the phone to check the recording, and shouted at the Nightmare Immortal, "I called my mother three days ago, and she didn't mention anything about feeling unwell!"

The Nightmare Immortal suddenly spoke in Wu Can's mind: "Quickly go and invite a practitioner or Taoist from the mortal realm to help; if you delay, your mother will truly be beyond saving"

Wu Deneng took a deep drag from his cigarette, the sharp smoke rushed in too quickly, causing tears to well up in his eyes. As he coughed violently, he suddenly saw his son running over, and a hint of a gentle smile appeared on his otherwise haggard and anxious face

"Bastard, I will not rest until I find out who harmed my mother; I will kill his entire family!" After listening to the phone recording, Wu Can slammed his fist on the table, shattering the exquisite granite surface into pieces. The combination of the resentment from his past life and the influence of the demon in this life created a terrifying blend of rage.

The Nine Palace Absolute Kill Gathering Yin Formation varies in arrangement according to the timing and geographical advantages, and I must conduct a thorough study before reaching a conclusion. As for identifying the person who set up this formation, it is relatively straightforward, as the scale of this formation is immense, far beyond what could be completed in ten or eight days. You only need to consider which suspicious individuals have visited, and you will be able to deduce a few possibilities.

The CEO of Xinke Network, Wu Deneng, has not slept for two days. A family member suddenly fell seriously ill, and two maids died shortly after being sent to the hospital, while his wife is teetering on the brink of life and death, having experienced cardiac arrest several times. She is currently in the intensive care unit receiving emergency treatment. Just ten hours ago, he received an urgent report from the company stating that hackers were maliciously attacking the main server group, with the intensity of the attack still increasing

Wu Can's home is a garden-style villa. He stands at the entrance, where the alloy gate opens automatically, accompanied by pleasant music welcoming him inside

"Xiao Li, sigh... what exactly is this illness? You should tell me," Wu Deneng said, as he touched the increasingly pale and emaciated cheeks of his wife and daughter, in such pain that he buried his head deeply into the hospital sheets.

Damn it! Even Wu Deneng, who usually refrains from using foul language, couldn't help but curse resentfully. He knew he must have offended some people in the business world, but did the struggles of business really need to endanger the lives of his family? He rushed between the company and the hospital, calling his parents who were at home enjoying their retirement, but no one answered. A flicker of unease crossed Wu Deneng's mind. Then, he called the school and felt slightly relieved upon hearing that his son, who was traveling, had returned safely.

Sigh, we really did our best. The patient is very weak now, and if we try again, it is likely that..." The female doctor shook her head and left with the other doctors, leaving only two senior nurses inside.

Wu Can smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, of course, living in a villa worth tens of millions, how could it not be comfortable!"

Sigh, still in the process of resuscitation, this is the fifth time. Wu Deneng rubbed his son's short hair, letting out a weary sigh, his tone filled with deep concern

After undergoing thorough disinfection, the father and son finally entered the sterile intensive care unit.

Wu Can immediately smiled and said: "Hehe, Immortal Elder, please do not be angry, I believe you. Do you have any way to identify the villain who set up this formation, and is there a way to eliminate or break this poison formation?"

Two fathers and sons were conversing when the door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and the attending female doctor emerged, wiping the sweat from her brow

"Dad, let's go see Mom first!" Wu Can and the library thought that the Nightmare Immortal must have a way, and they were eager to check on Mom's condition

Although it is the sweltering summer, the room is filled with a bone-chilling cold. Wu Can's mother lies on the hospital bed with a face as cold as ice, a faint layer of dark energy surrounding her, and her once beautiful features show not a trace of vitality.

"Oh dear, my son has grown into quite a fine young man, I can hardly lift him anymore." Wu Deneng spun around with his son in his arms before setting him down. "Have you heard the phone recording?"

Wu Can did not want to tell his father about the strange occurrences, and he suspected that even if he did, his father might not believe him

Hmm! How is Mom? I want to see Mom! Although Wu Can recalls some chaotic scenes from his past life, his overall personality remains that of an eleven-year-old child, possessing an innate attachment to his mother

Mother! Mother!" Wu Can held her hand, which felt like ice, and shook it vigorously a few times, but there was no response. Tears involuntarily welled up.

The attending physician removed his mask and sighed wearily: "For now, it is safe, but the patient's condition is quite peculiar. We have no certainty at all. I suggest Mr. Wu be transferred to another hospital or... sigh!"

Dad! Wu and Tu Shucan rushed into his arms, a signature gesture that had not changed for over ten years.

Upon hearing this, Wu Can's smiling face instantly transformed into one resembling a bitter melon, and he anxiously asked, "Are you sure? Is there really a deadly gathering of yin formations? Are there ghosts and monsters?"

Wu Can exclaimed, "Please, Daoist? Is it possible that even you, a celestial being, cannot save my mother?"

The Nightmare Immortal said in his mind: "There is no need to call out; there is not a single living person in this courtyard, not even a living insect. If this immortal's guess is correct, they should have fallen victim to the poison of this formation, and their lives are in grave danger"

The Nightmare Immortal continued to praise with lingering enthusiasm: "Ah, here lies the Nine Palace Absolute Kill Gathering Yin Formation, truly a vacation paradise for demons and monsters, a marvelous heaven for malevolent spirits! Indeed, indeed... Huh, wait a minute, you are humans, unable to withstand such sinister cold poison!"

"It's impossible, doctor, please think of another way. I am willing to pay any amount, I beg you to consider other options!" Wu Deneng grasped the doctor's hand, his eyes filled with pain and anxiety that evoked sympathy.

What happened?" the father and son shouted anxiously, fearing they would hear bad news

Rehabilitation hospitals in Shanghai or in China are of top-tier quality. If this does not work out, then the implication of the female doctor being omitted is to prepare for their final arrangements

The Nightmare Immortal let out a displeased snort: "Hmph, whether you believe it or not is up to you; when have I, the Immortal, ever deceived you!"

Wu Can was overjoyed to hear that he could resolve the issue, and he laughed, saying: "First, thank you, Immortal Elder. Let us break this formation tonight. I will go find my mother... Oh, why is no one here to greet me today? Are those two maids not around?" He then rushed into the living room, calling for his mother and shouting the names of the maids, but after a long while, no one responded.

There is only one phone recording, which is left by Wu Can's father, Wu Deneng. He informs him that his mother was hospitalized due to illness two days ago, and that both maids also died from illness. He advises him to either stay at his aunt's house upon his return or go to a rehabilitation hospital

Hehe, I also hope they are all right! The Nightmare Immortal said helplessly, not truly valuing human life; he was only concerned about the impact on Wu Can's cultivation

The Nightmare Immortal had long awakened from the event of Wu Cangtian's extraordinary cultivation, and in his mind, he sighed: "Is this your home? Quite nice, it feels really comfortable!"
