Why is there such a strong Yin Qi in the air?

Staring at the elder on the bed, Xiao Mu's face showed disbelief.

If one comes into contact with an Evil Ghost, one will be imbued with Yin Qi. Xu Qingyuan has it, Enyu has it, and Xu Qingyuan's wife, He Shaofang, does too.

As Xu Qingyuan's father, it's logical that the elder would have it too.

However, although the elder has it, the Yin Qi in him should not be this strong. This is not merely a result of coming into contact with an Evil Ghost. It's more like his body has been occupied by one.

His body... occupied by an Evil Ghost?

Xiao Mu stared at the elder, carefully observing, hoping to see something.

Unfortunately, in the end, he discovered nothing.

This outcome involuntarily made Xiao Mu frown.

Did he really not see anything, or had his spiritual perception been blocked?

"Quick! Drive it away! Drive it away! Quick! Qingyuan, quick!"

The elder on the bed suddenly sat up, his expression terrified, uttering nonsense.

"Dad... Dad, what's wrong with you?"

A startled Xu Qingyuan quickly moved to his father's side.

The elder then suddenly lay down again and appeared to fall slowly asleep, as if his previous awakening was just a bad dream.

Xu Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that something had happened to his father. If it was just a nightmare, then there was nothing to worry about.

Xiao Mu's expression, however, suddenly became strange as he continued to stare at the elder on the bed.

Could it be...?

Soon, Xiao Mu's expression lightened, he nodded and assumed an obvious 'I-get-it' look.

"Mr. Mu, what should we do? Can you tell what's happening to my father?"

Xu Qingyuan turned and looked anxiously at Xiao Mu. His father's condition was so bizarre that he couldn't help but look to Xiao Mu for solutions.

Xiao Mu, however, didn't answer directly. Rather, he asked, "Mr. Xu, have you touched your father? Did you move him after he passed out?"

Xu Qingyuan shook his head in shame, "No... Mr. Mu, I don't know what happened to my father, so I didn't dare to move him."

"Your approach is actually right."

Xiao Mu approved of Xu Qingyuan's cautious attitude. However, he immediately added, "If you had touched your father, you may not be asking this question."

"Mr. Mu, what do you mean?"

Xu Qingyuan looked at Xiao Mu in confusion, clearly not understanding why Xiao Mu would say that.

Without directly answering, Xiao Mu instructed, "Mr. Xu, hold your father."

"What?"

Xu Qingyuan's face was filled with confusion. He couldn't understand why Xiao Mu wanted him to do this.

Xiao Mu nodded, his face serious and determined.

Xu Qingyuan had no choice but to go along with it. He walked up to his father, pulled back the blanket, and gently lifted his body.

His father's body was thin, it shouldn't be too difficult for a grown man like Xu Qingyuan to lift him.

Even so, Xu Qingyuan was shocked at the next moment. His face expressed disbelief, "How... how can this be?"

As soon as he touched his father's body, he realized there was something amiss.

His father's body was incredibly light, around thirty pounds or so.

No adult, not even an old person, could possibly weigh only about thirty pounds.

Thirty pounds is equivalent to the weight of a toddler.

Xu Qingyuan was scared stiff on the spot. He put his father back on the bed and exclaimed, "How... How is this possible? Mr. Mu, what's... what's wrong with my dad?"

He was frightened, retreating continuously, his legs trembling and nearly collapsing. He hastily leaned against the wall for support.

Xiao Mu appeared calm. The situation with the elderly man was already within his expectations.

It was only normal for one's body to lighten when the power of the ancestral bloodline was extracted. Not only was this happening to Xu Qingyuan's father but also to Xu Qingyuan himself. It was inevitable.

He sighed, looking at Xu Qingyuan, Xiao Mu spoke:

"Mr. Xu, have you weighed yourself today?"

"Weight?"

Xu Qingyuan's face drastically changed. A moment later, an idea seemed to strike him. He hurriedly dashed out of the room. Not much later, he returned. As soon as he stepped back into the room, he suddenly knelt before Xiao Mu, pleading desperately, "Mr. Mu, please help my father, help me."

From the terrified look on his face, it was clear that he was deeply frightened.

After he left the room earlier, he had immediately weighed himself using an electronic scale. The result almost made him faint. His weight was only about fifty pounds.

He was 1.75 meters tall with a medium build. His weight had always ranged from around 130 pounds, close to 150 pounds.

Fifty pounds was definitely not his normal weight.

He was facing the same problem as his father.

Out of ideas and terrified, he could only plead with Xiao Mu in desperation.

"Mr. Xu, please get up. Rest assured, since I'm here, I'll definitely help."

Xiao Mu hurriedly reached out to support him, helping him to his feet.

"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Xu Qingyuan incessantly expressed his thanks.

Xiao Mu casually asked, "Mr. Xu, how much do you weigh now?"

"Fifty-seven pounds."

Xu Qingyuan answered, his face pale.

Fifty-seven pounds, very light, nearly two-thirds less than his original weight. Compared to his father, however, his weight loss was still less.

Xiao Mu secretly nodded upon hearing this. Although the ancestral spirit blood was being drained from both, Xu Qingyuan lost less weight compared to his father, meaning less ancestral spirit blood was taken from him.

This made sense because, compared to his father, Xu Qingyuan was more distantly related to his ancestors.

A similar situation was also found in the father and son of the Li family, Li Guangyou.

Furthermore, because too much ancestral spirit blood was drained, Xu Qingyuan's father fell into a coma, whilst Xu Qingyuan, from whom less was drained, was still able to stand and remain clear-headed.

Xiao Mu turned his head, looking once again at Xu Qingyuan's father.

Having one's ancestral spirit blood drained would only make the body weak and lose weight. However, it definitely wouldn't result in one's body emitting a strong Yin Qi.

From this, it could be seen that Xu Qingyuan's father had probably encountered other misfortunes.

"Mr. Mu, what are you looking at? Is my father not going to make it?"

Noticing Xiao Mu's expression, Xu Qingyuan anxiously asked.

His father was unconscious and weighed even less than him. All these signs made him wonder if his father was on the brink of death.

"The draining of ancestral spirit blood would only temporarily weaken a person. Mr. Xu, you don't need to worry. I just found some other issues with your father."

Xiao Mu responded indifferently.

"Other issues? What issues?"

Xu Qingyuan quickly asked with concern.

Xiao Mu did not reply but looked at Xu Qingyuan's father again, a cold sneer formed on his face. "Did they think that by obscuring the sky, I would not be able to see?"

"Go!"

He pulled out the Ward Off Evil Talisman and threw it towards Xu Qingyuan's father.

The talisman turned into a golden light, shooting towards Xu Qingyuan's father.
