The outer disciple carefully hid behind a large tree and used the Qiankun Mirror to project the scene of Bai Ying treating Wu Hansong.

Immediately, everyone who saw the scene was discussing it.

Their words were incredibly harsh. They said Bai Ying couldn't cure diseases but still gave people hope, and then she treated patients haphazardly.

They say she would stop at nothing to gain fame.

Some people even criticized Wu Hansong as well.

If he truly wanted to live, he would have been better off kneeling down and apologizing to Master Mu; perhaps Master Mu would have taken pity on him and treated him. His desperation in seeking Bai Ying meant he had no hope of survival whatsoever.

At this moment, many people are rushing towards the Lingxiao Sect, wanting to see how Bai Ying will treat this illness.

In a very short time, a group of people surrounded the Lingxiao Sect in layers.

These people thought that the Lingxiao Sect didn't want them to see Bai Ying treating Wu Hansong and would kick them all out. Who knew that the Lingxiao Sect would leave its gates wide open, allowing these people to come and go as they pleased.

Xuan Yuan Chen even declared, "If you want to see, I'll let you see for yourselves whether Bai Ying will actually kill Wu Hansong!"

At this point, Wu Hansong was completely terminally ill. He was weak and listless, and could barely stand.

Bai Ying brought him a chair and had him sit down. Then she took out a chain-like magical artifact that she had previously crafted for the Fourth Elder.

Just as she was about to use the magical artifact on Wu Hansong, Wu Hansong said to Bai Ying, "Can you wait a moment?"

Wu Hansong never expected to be cured so quickly; there were still many things he hadn't told his five-year-old son.

As he spoke, he quickly took out his communication talisman and lit it up.

A child's somewhat childish voice rang out from the other end of the communication talisman, "Daddy, when are you coming back? Mommy and I are still waiting for you at home."

Wu Hansong's hands trembled for a moment. He wanted to tell himself that he would be able to go back soon, but he also knew that there was a high chance that he would never be able to go back.

If he had known that entering the Nascent Soul stage would turn his body into this state, he would have preferred not to enter it at all. He would have had plenty of time to spend with his wife and children.

He said to the other end of the communication talisman, "You'er, take good care of your mother."

Not getting the answer he wanted, the child asked again, "Then when will you come back, Daddy?"

Wu Hansong was speechless, unsure how to answer him. His father might never be able to return...

Unexpectedly, Bai Ying directly said to the other side, "He can go back tomorrow."

"Really?"

A voice filled with delighted surprise came from the other end of the communication talisman. He exclaimed happily, "I'm going to tell my mother!"

Wu Hansong was completely shocked. He looked at the communication symbol that had been extinguished, raised his head, and stared intently at Bai Ying.

How could she tell her son that he could go back tomorrow!

If he dies, his wife and children will be overjoyed but will only receive news of his death!

The onlookers were disgusted by Bai Ying's actions.

The child's voice sounded like he cared a lot about his father.

What exactly is Bai Ying trying to do?

After giving the child such great hope, are you really going to let him witness his father's body being sent back?

That bastard is awful! How desperate the child would be if he saw a corpse!

Many people started hurling insults at Bai Ying.

Overcome with anger and frustration, Wu Hansong coughed loudly, pointing at Bai Ying and saying, "How could you...?"

Bai Ying, however, nonchalantly pressed his hand down.

“I said I could cure your illness, and I definitely can. Don’t worry about me anymore. Can you start treatment now?”

Wu Hansong, like a wilted eggplant, didn't say anything more and slumped into his chair. He could clearly feel his life slipping away.

His body was being drained of energy every moment, as if an object was constantly sucking his energy away.

But he checked and found nothing. He didn't know what was wrong with him.

"You should treat him..."

Wu Hansong said to Bai Ying in despair, "If I die, don't notify my family. Just bury me anywhere. I don't want my son to see my body."

After saying that, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

The blood had turned black, indicating that his body was already severely decomposed and he could die at any moment.

Bai Ying took out the magical artifact in her hand: "Your health is indeed not good. If you had come a day later, no one could have saved you. But you have to thank the Fourth Elder of the Yan Clan. It was he who asked me to prepare the magical artifact in advance. Otherwise, I would have been helpless."

As she spoke, she shot the chain-like magical artifact directly at Wu Hansong.

The chain moved through the air like a nimble snake, winding forward at an incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly bound Wu Hansong.

After doing all this, Bai Ying fed Wu Hansong two pills she had prepared beforehand. This was to help him support himself in finding the thing inside his body.

Bai Ying manipulated the chains, causing them to wrap around Wu Hansong's body endlessly, circle after circle, until they completely enveloped him. Then, Bai Ying slowly closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and carefully released her divine sense to explore inside his body.
