In the living room, there were other people on the throne with furrowed brows. Liu Qian was not among them. After Shao Shenyun cured Liu Qian's son, the whole family took advantage of Liu Qian's free time to go out and play with the child.
After exchanging greetings, Wang Yi led Tuoba Yun to Fifth Winter Summer's room.
As soon as the door opened, a strong smell filled everyone's nostrils. Tuoba Yun frowned and walked in, where he saw Fifth Dongxia lying unconscious on the bed. His body was covered with strange black patterns and he was twitching from time to time.
When the fifth winter and summer symptoms first appeared, Wang Yi summoned a physician, but the physician couldn't see anything wrong and guessed that it was probably a possession by an evil spirit, which is why Wang Yi invited Tuoba Yun over.
Tuoba Yun, who came from Tibet, was a knowledgeable and experienced elder brother who, in the eyes of Wang Yi and others, should be able to see what was wrong with Fifth Winter and Summer.
Sure enough, Tuoba Yun gasped when he saw the appearance of Fifth Winter Summer.
Seeing his expression, Wang Yi quickly asked, "Brother, what's wrong with my brother?"
Tuoba Yun leaned closer and pried open Wu Dongxia's tightly closed eyelids. Wu Dongxia's eyes were dull and bloodshot, making her look like she was sick. Her body would also twitch from time to time.
Who could have imagined that this top-tier ninth-order Dragon Xia expert would turn into this? According to what Wang Yi said on the phone, Fifth Winter Summer was already like this when she was discovered this morning.
"Do you remember what Miss Shao said about the other four races besides our human race?" Tuoba Yun looked at Wang Yi with a serious expression.
Wang Yi frowned, realizing that the situation in the fifth winter and summer was more serious than he had imagined.
Tuoba Yun continued, "I originally thought these alien races were just myths, but I didn't expect them to actually exist."
"I suspect that Dongxia is cursed by some kind of alien race, like the curse of the ghouls."
Wang Yi nodded solemnly and said, "Then I will go and invite Miss Shao over. She is very resourceful and will definitely have a solution."
Shao Shenyun's methods were so miraculous that everyone naturally believed in and respected her.
For example, it took Nangong Wenqing decades to find a solution to the problem of food for the corpse demons, but Shao Shenyun solved it simply by stomping her foot and casting a formation. This is truly unbelievable.
Wang Yi first called Shao Shenyun to ask her opinion, but to his surprise, Shao Shenyun agreed directly and said that she could come to the Ghost Hunting Bureau by herself and that there was no need for Wang Yi and the others to pick her up.
At home, Bai Ningbing saw that Shao Shenyun had made arrangements, and immediately excitedly said she wanted to be the driver.
Shang Xinci was helpless; she had been given another chance to drive.
Ever since Zhang Qian discovered that Bai Ningbing was particularly to her liking, she has allowed Bai Ningbing free access to her home and lets her drive any of the cars in Su Tian's garage!
The fox demon sister saw a newly released electric car that had recently become very popular online parked at the garage entrance. She immediately took Shang Xinci and Shao Shenyun into the car, and then drove out of the Su family's courtyard towards the Yangcheng Ghost Hunting Branch.
Having experienced sports cars before, Bai Ningbing found the electric car quite novel, while Shang Xinci and Shao Shenyun sat expressionlessly in the front passenger seat and the back seat, respectively.
Like Shang Xinci, Shao Shenyun couldn't understand why Bai Ningbing was so excited. Perhaps she would be just as excited when she got to drive a car in the future, but at least she couldn't understand it now.
They soon arrived at the Ghost Hunting Bureau and entered the fifth-floor throne room. As soon as Shang Xinci entered the room, she smelled a very unpleasant odor, and Bai Ningbing immediately covered her mouth and nose.
After exchanging greetings, Wang Yi led everyone to Fifth Winter and Summer's room.
"No wonder it smelled so bad, it's demonic energy." Shang Xinci hadn't smelled this nauseating odor for a while. The last time she smelled it was when she was fighting against Mo Lin, the younger brother of the ancient demon emperor, in the demon realm.
Shao Shenyun glanced at Fifth Winter and Summer.
"This is a backlash."
Wang Yi was shocked. How could Wu Dongxia, who had cultivated diligently and earnestly, suffer a backlash?
Shao Shenyun made a sword-finger gesture with her right hand and slashed at Fifth Winter Summer, directly severing the backlash on his body. Wang Yi walked up and lifted Fifth Winter Summer's clothes, discovering that the originally dense demonic patterns had dissipated.
As the eldest brother, Wang Yi was practically kneeling before Shao Shenyun. He excitedly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Miss Shao, for saving my brother's son and me, your younger brother."
"If Miss Shao needs anything in the future, the Throne will do everything in its power to help you."
Shao Shenyun waved her hand and said indifferently, "You flatter me. It was just a small favor. Yanluo and I have a close relationship. He asked me to help take care of his family, so I naturally did my best."
Wang Yi and Wang Zuo were deeply moved, but also felt guilty.
While Wang Yi and the others were moved, Wu Dongxia had already woken up. He glanced around blankly, yawned, and asked, "Why is everyone gathered in my room? I just slept in, it's not that big of a deal."
Wang Yi's explanation greatly surprised Fifth Winter and Summer.
"I had a nightmare last night. I dreamt that a beautiful girl was stabbing me in the chest with a sword called Winter and Summer. I woke up in fright and it took me a long time to fall back asleep. I wonder if it's related to that?"
Everyone turned their attention to Shao Shenyun, hoping to get the answer from her.
Shao Shenyun glanced around the room and saw a metal box on the table. Shang Xinci also looked at the box.
Both of them had seen demons, but Bai Ningbing had not, though she could sense that the box was emanating a very strong demonic aura.
Shao Shenyun picked up the box, opened it to reveal a black longsword inside. The sword gleamed with a cold light, its sharpness fully exposed, and the chilling aura it exuded was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.
"Everything comes from this sword."
Fifth Winter Summer was the first to jump up and refute, taking out his Winter Summer Sword from the Ghost Weapon Box.
“This was left to me by my grandfather. My grandfather would never harm me.”
Shao Shenyun nodded and explained, "Your grandfather wouldn't harm you, but this sword would."
"Yanluo said that the first generation of human ghost hunters obtained various powerful weapons and techniques from ancient ruins. Aren't you curious about where these weapons came from?"
This question stumped the throne members, who were lineage demon hunters.
"This sword is a demonic sword. It seems to have awakened and recognized its master. You formed a contract with it, and it has begun to resist, demanding that you break it."
Fifth Winter Summer stared in shock at the sword in her hand; the black sword emitted a strong red light.
Wang Yi asked Shao Shenyun, "Miss Shao, what should we do now?"
Shao Shenyun reached out, and the Winter and Summer Sword flew into her hand.
"I'm breaking the contract and taking her away. You can't control her, and continuing to use her will only lead to more severe backlash."
Upon hearing this, Wu Dongxia knelt on the ground, staring blankly at the Dongxia Sword in Shao Shenyun's hand.
The Fifth family produced two geniuses: one named Fifth Winter and Summer, the older brother, and the other named Fifth Spring and Autumn, the younger sister.
Their grandfather was the Sword God of Longxia, and the two children were also highly regarded by their grandfather, who named them after his twin swords.
