On the fifth night, compared to the composure of the previous nights, the atmosphere in the ward tonight was unexpectedly tense. The subtle sounds that were being carefully concealed sent shivers down Yuan Sun's spine.

Yuan Sun stood at the foot of Yuan Zhuan's sickbed, facing the door of the ward, his body taut and his muscles tense. Wu Tianqing, on the other hand, stared warily through the ward's viewing window, as if something might appear at any moment.

Yuan Sun frowned, his gaze sweeping over the silent, lying Yuan Zhuan, his eyes filled with worry.

They are not afraid of external interference; what they fear is that those wandering creatures in the hospital might be foolish enough to try and fight to the death.

The aura emanating from Yuan Zhuan's soul after it went into slumber was simply too pure.

No one knows how she did it, but the cleansing of her body was so thorough that when she was in a deep sleep, her body would emit an aura that would attract those things in the intermediate state.

The so-called thorough cleansing of the spirit is like a person practicing internal martial arts cleansing their meridians and marrow, removing all impurities from the body until it is clean and pure. If a spirit enters, it can take its place.

The instinct to survive led them to plunder each other's life force until they completely lost their memories, exiled themselves, and disappeared from the world.

As the faint sounds grew louder and louder, and as the talisman array outside the window was repeatedly triggered and destroyed, Yuan Sun broke out in a cold sweat.

Although he couldn't see anything, the stagnant atmosphere and sense of crisis made Wu Tianqing's scalp tingle.

"Master Yuansun, I have a bad feeling," Wu Tianqing said. "Is it related to our master?"

"Her soul is asleep. What lies here now is no different from her body. The outside wants to come in and take her place."

Perhaps because he had spent so much time with Yuan Zhuan and seen so much, Wu Tianqing was not surprised at all, even though he found it bizarre.

What can we do?

Yuan Sun raised his chin. "We'll wait until she wakes up." As long as there's nothing serious outside, there shouldn't be any problems.

What I fear most is that this one in ten thousand might actually happen.

"If she can make it through tonight, take her back to rest. She can't stay in the hospital any longer; the evil energy here is too strong!" It's just a delivery room, yet the evil energy is already almost solidified.

If it becomes an infantile evil spirit, who knows how many people will have to die to quell it.

'Bang bang bang bang, bang bang bang bang...'

Just as they were talking, a knocking sound came from the door, four times in a row each time, with a one-second interval between each knock.

Upon hearing the knock, Wu Tianqing looked at Yuan Sun, who stared intently at the circle of yellow talismans pasted behind the door, his expression one of impending doom.

'Bang bang bang bang... bang bang bang bang...' It went on for a long time, round after round.

Then, after a few seconds of silence, the door lock suddenly started making a pushing and pulling sound as if someone was trying to open it, bang bang bang! The force was great! Bang bang bang! The sound was loud enough to attract the attention of those nearby, but strangely enough, even the nurse on duty at the nearest nurses' station was not disturbed.

Wu Tianqing swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the trembling doorknob, unaware that cold sweat was breaking out on his back.

How fierce!

It seems that what I encountered while following Yuan Zhuan before was nothing compared to this.

"Xiao Wu, go and hand me the things from my backpack."

Wu Tianqing did as instructed, taking out a pile of talismans from Yuan Sun's blue satchel. "Do you want these?"

"Give me."

Yuan Sun took it, pulled out several talismans, made hand seals, placed the talismans on his fingertips, and as the hand seals changed rapidly, the talismans on his fingertips disappeared. Then the sound from the other side of the door became much quieter.

Wu Tianqing didn't dare to speak, he just stared at the doorknob, using his body to block Yuan Zhuan's bed, as if this would protect Yuan Zhuan.

Not long after, the doorknob lock made another violent rattling sound.

As the number of talismans in Yuan Sun's hands dwindled, his complexion grew increasingly grim.

Wu Tianqing suppressed his anxiety and unconsciously began to pray. If this crisis passed, he would also have to find his master to learn talismans. It would be best to learn these skills well under such a master, so as to be prepared for any eventuality, instead of being helpless like he was now.

"Give me the Eight Trigrams Formation Plate!" Yuan Sun said through gritted teeth.

Damn it, if the ancestral artifacts are lost tonight, he'll make that brat buy him the best jade and personally nurture the best array plate for him!

Because he was in a hurry, Wu Tianqing's hands were trembling. In order to save time, he simply emptied the contents of his bag onto the foot of the bed before finding the array plate and handing it over.

As Wu Tianqing moved, the wildly shaking door suddenly quieted down, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Yuan Sun wiped away a cold sweat. "Drop the blood from your ring finger onto the array plate. Whether it succeeds or not depends on it."

This array was passed down to him by his master; it is named Qiankun.

It is his most powerful and precious magical artifact. No matter what kind of talisman array is set up, it can be activated with it, and the defensive power will increase tenfold.

If even his ancestor can't do it, then all we can say is that we'll have to leave it to fate!

Sometimes, living requires a bit of luck.

Wu Tianqing was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply used his dagger to cut himself and let blood drip out, all in one smooth motion.

"The calm before the storm. Something big is coming. Be prepared," Yuan Sun sighed and uttered these words.

Wu Tianqing clearly noticed that as soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped by tens of degrees, and he couldn't stand the cold, so he shivered.

Yuan Sun made a hand seal with his left hand and held the array plate with his right. The bloodstain in the center of the array plate seemed to have been wiped away without a trace, and the array plate was spinning rapidly in his palm.

"Formation complete! Go!" As Yuan Sun's face turned ashen, he flung the array plate in his palm toward the door. At the same moment, the door slammed open with a gust of cold wind!

To the naked eye, there was nothing in the dark passageway outside the door; it was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. It looked more like a rectangular opening.

"Xiao Wu, don't let them take Yuan Zhuan's body away! Secure him!!"

Yuan Sun squatted down in a horse stance with his hands in front of his chest, continuously casting a series of coherent and complex spells. However, the hurricane that came from above was overwhelming, blowing Yuan Sun's clothes into a puffy shape and making his face look exaggeratedly pulled back.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianqing immediately lunged towards Yuan Zhuan. Sure enough, her body had already lifted a few centimeters off the bed, becoming suspended in mid-air.

The person was suddenly pressed down, making a loud thud.

"Damn it! She is the last descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, possessing immense merit. If you dare to possess her body, you will surely be annihilated, with absolutely no chance of resurrection! Leave at once!!"

The only response Yuan Sun received was his body flying backward as if he had been kicked. He slammed hard against the wall and then crashed heavily to the ground.

Wu Tianqing panicked and tried to go over to check on her. "Don't come any closer! I'm fine! I've placed a talisman array around the bed. As long as you stay with her, nothing will happen!" Yuan Sun realized Wu Tianqing's intention and immediately stopped him.

Wu Tianqing stopped getting up and pulled himself up, blanket and all.

Suddenly, "giggle giggle..." The baby's laughter was so ethereal and beautiful, as if it came from the horizon, growing closer and closer.

At this moment, Wu Tianqing admitted that he was afraid!
