Xiao Yu took out the handkerchief stained with his心頭blood and looked at it. A hesitant expression appeared on his face before he sighed and put it down after a moment. He thought to himself that although this person was despicable, his crimes did not warrant death. It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't saved him in the first place, but since he had already saved him, killing him just because of his despicable nature seemed excessive.

"Stepfather, when are you going to marry me" The heavily made-up girl swung her middle-aged man's arm and said in a flattering, coquettish voice.

"Little darling, it’s not possible right now! All the money is in that yellow-faced woman's hands. If I divorce her now, I won't get a cent. But once I slowly trick all the money out of her, we can then marry!" The middle-aged man said smugly.

"Mm-hmm, I'll listen to stepfather. But what if my stepmother doesn’t want to divorce" The heavily made-up girl asked worriedly.

"Hehe, you don't know this! When I was doing business in the north, there grew a kind of grass called 'Little Maizi'. Eating too much of it makes people go mad. I specially picked some and put them into the soy milk she drinks every morning!" After hearing what the heavily made-up girl said, the middle-aged man sneered and whispered to her when he saw no one paying attention.

Thinking about wanting to kill someone just because of a few unpleasant words they said, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself. As soon as he folded the handkerchief and was about to put it away, he suddenly heard what the middle-aged man had said. Xiao Yu’s eyes turned cold, revealing intense killing intent. He smirked inwardly and unfolded the already neatly folded handkerchief.

Who says doctors can only heal and save lives but not kill Who says Celestial Masters can only exorcise demons and monsters but not kill Some people's hearts are so corrupted that they cease to be human, becoming demons. And even worse than demons.

In Zhong Kui’s memories, he had exterminated countless demons in his lifetime. However, many of these demons had their benevolent sides—they were kind to their families or friends, or brothers! There was even a snake demon that repaid the kindness of someone who saved it by finding its reincarnation after ten lifetimes.

In Xiao Yu's view, such demons and monsters could be more humane than some humans. But there are also people who are worse than these demons; they not only fail to repay kindness but even harm their own family members.

Zhong Kui had exterminated countless demons in his lifetime, as well as saved countless lives. Once, while traveling through the outskirts of a city, Zhong Kui saw an independent merchant who had been poisoned with a slow-acting poison. When Zhong Kui offered to heal him, the merchant called him a liar and spat at him. But Zhong Kui bore no grudges; he accompanied the man for two days until the poison took effect before healing him.

Zhong Kui wasn't someone who only saved lives but never killed. Throughout his life, he had also killed countless evil-doers without hesitation, sometimes even more than demons. Once, there was a bandit den that not only robbed and killed people but didn’t spare even the small amounts of money ordinary peasants possessed. One day when Zhong Kui passed by this place, hearing about their atrocities, in one night he exterminated all 183 members of the bandit den.

Due to Zhong Kui’s numerous years of memories and experiences, Xiao Yu’s personality was heavily influenced by him. When it came to saving someone, he would use everything at his disposal; when it came to killing someone, he wouldn’t hesitate either. This also explained why Xiao Yu didn't kill the elderly Zhong Kui who wasn't a bad person, but when it came to not helping him despite being able to, and then deciding to help him without hesitation once he realized how much worth there was in saving him, even at the cost of his own vital energy.

Now Xiao Yu's face had returned to calm as he looked through the airplane window at this middle-aged man. This person wasn't worthy of making him angry; rather, he didn’t deserve to be called a human.

Although Xiao Yu was an exceptionally skilled Celestial Master, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t use some unconventional methods. While searching through Zhong Kui’s memories, he discovered a sinister secret technique called the 'Blood煞Curs'. This curse was something Zhong Kui obtained from killing a wicked spirit; it was used by this kind of spirit to accelerate their cultivation speed.

Because humans and wicked spirits have different constitutions, while this method acts like medicine for wicked spirits, for humans, it’s akin to poison.

Blood煞Curs - Using心頭blood to cast the curse can increase the absorption rate of Yin煞qi. The spell will lose its effect after three days.

The term 'absorption' here doesn't mean gathering large amounts of Yin煞qi like a soil ghost does with the Concentration-of-Yin Umbrella. Although the Concentration-of-Yin Umbrella can gather vast amounts of Yin煞qi, these energies have not been refined and thus require long-term refinement after absorption before they become usable—truly useable energy is less than one percent. However, after using Blood煞Curs, absorbed Yin煞qi is already refined and can be used directly.

Since the refined Yin煞qi is extremely pure, it’s also very cold. If a normal person were to be cursed with this, if they are physically strong and properly treated, it might only cause them to fall seriously ill; but for weaker individuals, after just two days of absorbing excessive Yin煞qi, their blood vessels would become stiff from the coldness, leading to death.

Xiao Yu thought of this and a ruthless expression appeared on his face. Not only could Celestial Masters cure illnesses, they could also kill without leaving any trace. Xiao Yu used his fingers to touch the bloodstains on the handkerchief and made gestures in the air while chanting something; an invisible ripple slowly took shape as it absorbed the yin qi floating around.

"Quickly!" Xiao Yu muttered under his breath, then cast the spell into the middle-aged man's body. After casting the spell, Xiao Yu’s already injured body became even weaker and a flush appeared on his face; he suppressed the sensation of dizziness in his heart.

The middle-aged man was relying entirely on the ginseng to keep him awake now, but once its effects wore off, he would become weak again. Knowing that this man's body had been nearly drained dry, even if it were the best medicine, it wouldn’t immediately cure him; instead, it needed long-term care. Xiao Yu didn't know whether the middle-aged man could endure these three days.

Looking at the murmuring middle-aged man, Xiao Yu wasn’t sure if he would be able to hold on for the next three days, but this was no longer something Xiao Yu had to worry about.

"So cold!" The middle-aged man suddenly shivered and said involuntarily.

"Are you feeling cold I don't think so! Daddy, if you’re cold, put on your clothes!" the heavily made-up girl felt around but didn’t sense any coldness; nevertheless, she picked up the middle-aged man's suit and jacket.

The middle-aged man ignored whether or not his clothes were dirty as he got dressed. He sat there and shivered every so often, but Xiao Yu no longer cared about him and even stopped looking at him.

Very quickly, the plane landed at Deep Sea International Airport. Xiao Yu removed the golden needles from the heads of the man in front of him and the little girl, then got off the plane with a slightly pale face; Wei Jun was waiting for him outside the airport in his car.

"Xiao Yu, you finally decided to come back!" When he saw Xiao Yu coming out of the airport, Wei Jun walked over and gave him a punch while smiling.

Xiao Yu looked at Wei Jun with confusion; was this still the confident Wei Jun Now, Wei Jun’s eye sockets were black from lack of sleep and his voice sounded weak. He looked sickly overall.

"Brother Jun, what happened to you" Seeing Wei Jun’s condition, Xiao Yu asked seriously.

"Let's go home first; I'll tell you when we get there!" Wei Jun sighed and said; he reached out to take Xiao Yu's luggage but the way Xiao Yu looked at him suggested that he would be exhausted just by carrying it. So, he stopped Wei Jun with his hand and put the luggage in the trunk before getting into the car.

Inside the car, Xiao Yu grabbed Wei Jun’s wrist to feel his pulse; half-closing his eyes, he felt for a while then let go of his hand and closed his eyes as he thought about it. He said, "Brother Jun, what happened Why are you so weak"

It turned out that through feeling Wei Jun's pulse, Xiao Yu discovered that Wei Jun’s body had been drained dry; he suffered from yin deficiency. But Xiao Yu knew Wei Jun's character; although he was a second-generation rich kid too, his family had educated him well since childhood, and he hadn’t picked up any of the bad habits typical of such kids like nightlife and debauchery—quite the contrary, he led an extremely disciplined life.

"Well… don't laugh at me when I tell you!" Wei Jun glanced at Xiao Yu uneasily and said hesitantly.

"I won’t laugh. Tell me! What's going on If you don't treat this condition, it will become serious!" With a solemn expression, Xiao Yu looked at Wei Jun.

"Um… I’ve had it for about ten days now; every night I have wet dreams and several times each night. These few days, I've seen many doctors and taken plenty of supplements like ginseng every day, but there's been no improvement!" Initially embarrassed, Wei Jun started talking like a bean-spilling machine.

"Bring me the prescriptions the doctors gave you for me to take a look," said Xiao Yu after some thought.

Wei Jun took out a pile of things from a black plastic bag and handed them to Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yu took over the things handed by Wei Jun and looked at them, he found that most of them were laboratory test results with only a few prescriptions. He didn't even look at the lab results and put them back directly into the bag. Then, he sifted through the prescriptions and found several traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.

The prescriptions were mostly warming tonics and nervine regulators. After looking over the prescriptions, Xiao Yu realized they were all appropriate for Wei Jun's condition. So he asked, "Have you taken all these medicines"

"Ah, I’ve taken them all but it hasn’t helped at all! Except that my waist and legs no longer ache so much, the problem of nocturnal emission has not weakened in any way; if anything, it’s even gotten worse!" Hearing Xiao Yu's question, Wei Jun sighed and said helplessly.

Ever since Wei Jun saw Xiao Yu treating Teacher Cai, he had become very confident in Xiao Yu’s medical skills. When he first started to have wet dreams, he was somewhat pleased, after all, the dream girl was a top-notch beauty. But several days later, his waist and back started hurting, yet the nocturnal emissions hadn’t stopped.

Only then did Wei Jun panic and start looking for doctors everywhere. He had taken Chinese medicine, Western medicine, and tonics in large quantities, but there were no signs of improvement. Originally, after he started having aching waist and legs, his nocturnal emission episodes reduced from six or seven times to three or four times per night. However, since seeing the doctor and taking medicine, it had returned to five or six times.

This frightened Wei Jun very much. He hadn’t originally planned on calling Xiao Yu, but after half a year without going home, he wanted Xiao Yu to rest at home for a few days. But his body still hasn't improved; the once robust man now had sunken eye sockets and looked like an empty-shell lecher. Last night, Wei Jun even stewed ginseng to eat, yet before three AM, he had already experienced six episodes of nocturnal emission. He was so scared that he didn’t dare sleep anymore and called Xiao Yu, sitting in the living room until dawn.

Hearing Wei Jun's words, Xiao Yu fell into deep thought. There were no issues with the prescriptions and they were all appropriate for his condition. But why weren't they working

Nocturnal emission can also be considered a problem of nerves and psychology. In ancient times, it was often said "daydreaming leads to night dreaming." This means that people replay in their minds the most vivid impressions from the day when they sleep at night. When people with weak nervous systems sleep, they tend to reenact or continue daytime events through dreams, whereas those with strong nervous systems are not disturbed by this. However, it’s rare for someone like Wei Jun to have this issue persisting over a dozen days, and having multiple nocturnal emissions every single night is even more unusual.

Based on the current symptoms, Wei Jun clearly has poor nerve health and an extremely depleted body. Xiao Yu originally intended to give him some ginseng pills to first replenish his yin deficiency condition. But he was afraid that Wei Jun might not tolerate it well if taken directly, so he said, "When we get back home, I’ll prescribe you a new prescription and prepare a medicinal dish to nourish your vital energy; let’s see how you fare after several days of treatment."

"Hmm, okay. I'll follow your advice! These few days, my shop hasn’t been open at all, I’ve only been seeing doctors and taking medicine!" Wei Jun nodded his head and said that. He then started the car and left the airport.

In recent years, the development of the deep sea area had been rapid. A highway passed near the airport, and the city was gradually expanding outward. What used to be a 70-kilometer distance from the city to the airport now only remained at about 50 kilometers, making it just a half-hour drive on the expressway.

Seeing Wei Jun driving in such a weak state made Xiao Yu very worried and afraid of something happening. However, without a driver's license for many years, Xiao Yu couldn’t go out on his own, so he would have to consider getting one in the future; with his current wealth, perhaps he might buy a car.

The car entered the expressway. In the afternoon at three o'clock, there weren't many vehicles on the highway, which made Xiao Yu feel more at ease. He had never flown into the deep sea area before and thus this was his first visit to the airport here; the greenery along both sides of the highway looked lush while most trees in northern areas were already bare. Yet here, there was no sign of entering winter.

The car slowly drove towards the deep sea as traffic suddenly increased on the road. Wei Jun followed the flow of cars forward, noticing a crane working not far ahead and only one lane available at the roadside with several police officers directing traffic at the intersection.

"Ah, another accident!" Wei Jun said while driving slowly.

“Huh How do you know” Without even looking, Wei Jun knew that there was an accident ahead, which made Xiao Yu very curious.

“Hehe, you don't know! That place is called the Bermuda Triangle of the deep sea by drivers. Every year, there are at least 50 to 60 accidents and every single one results in casualties!” Wei Jun chuckled lightly and explained.

"Why I see that the curve ahead isn’t very sharp; how could so many accidents happen" Hearing Wei Jun's words, Xiao Yu stuck his head out of the window to look ahead and asked.

“That’s unknown! It’s just extremely mysterious. Accidents almost always occur at that location and won't exceed ten meters further away!” Wei Jun shook his head and said.

As Xiao Yu's car approached the site of the accident, he glanced through the crowd and saw the scene of the crash.

The accident site was devoid of injured people. A crane was working there, indicating that the offending vehicle was a semi-trailer whose front had crashed over the guardrail and hung in mid-air. A white compact car lay half-crushed across the road's center with large pools of blood nearby. The lack of casualties suggested they had been taken away by ambulances, leaving only police cordoning off the area to protect the scene.

Alas... Wei Jun sighed as he looked at the accident site and shook his head before driving away.

Only after their car passed the semi-trailer blocking the road did Xiao Yu carefully examine this curve. It was a semicircular bend designed reasonably well with no sharp turns, which didn't seem like an accident-prone area.

Suddenly, a cold breeze blew in through the window: "Malevolent energy..." The chill made Xiao Yu shiver and mutter to himself.

Then he thought of Wei Jun's weakened state and turned to look at him. At that moment, Wei Jun’s eyes were unfocused, his foot poised over the accelerator. Frightened for his friend, Xiao Yu quickly grabbed his leg to stop him from pressing down, knowing a serious accident would occur with cars all around them.

With one hand grabbing Wei Jun's leg and another forming a seal on his forehead, Wei Jun shivered awake.

"Xiao Yu, are you trying to kill me Why did you grab my leg when I was about to press the accelerator" said Wei Jun, still unaware of what had transpired.

"Oh, it's fine. It’s all right…" Xiao Yu let go of his leg and smiled reassuringly at him once he regained consciousness.

Xiao Yu decided not to tell Wei Jun about the malevolent energy, knowing people fear things they don't understand.

Turning serious again, he stared out the window. What was going on His body’s damage and spiritual sensitivity had caused him to miss this earlier.

To be honest, Xiao Yu had been careless; around 3 PM should have been the peak of Yang energy, making it unlikely for malevolent energy to appear in sunlight. Opening his Yin-Yang eyes, he saw no trace of malevolent energy outside.

Was this malevolent energy targeting Wei Jun specifically That seemed unlikely since malevolent energy usually appeared in clusters without a target.

A sudden thought hit him: Could it be that someone or something was controlling the malevolent energy If so, why only target Wei Jun

Right; Wei Jun’s body was at its weakest point and thus more susceptible to being possessed by malevolent energy, especially during the daytime when such energies were weaker.

The previous accidents here might also be due to this. No wonder a seemingly safe bend often saw crashes.

When Xiao Yu dispelled Wei Jun’s malevolent energy just now, its controller likely sensed it but wouldn’t act immediately. Or perhaps it was just an ordinary malevolent energy that happened to encounter Wei Jun; however, such chances were rare.g from their foreheads started to reappear. They exchanged glances and all nodded; they firmly believed that Zhang Dahai wouldn't pull the trigger.Because if he were to fire, the situation then would...
