Chapter 144 - 133: Chen Sha’s Killing Intent!

Chapter 144: Chapter 133: Chen Sha’s Killing Intent!

As a son, Chen Sha had little interest in knowing about his old man’s past romantic affairs. He only cared about the dull-looking sister in front of him.

He roughly understood the situation. Bell Spirit’s mother was an heir to the Buddhist Sect. If word got out that she had a child with someone else... Did her mother choose death over tarnishing the Buddhist Sect’s reputation?

Mu Hongfu sighed. "I originally promised her mother that I would keep this secret for the Water Moon Temple and the Buddhist Sect for the rest of my life, but the heavens have been too cruel to Bell Spirit.

"She was already born with innate deficiencies, but half a year ago, she unfortunately contracted the Blood Decay Syndrome inherited through the Gu Clan’s bloodline. You must know that no one in the Gu Clan has suffered from this condition for over a century. Yet, the heavens actually arranged for this terminal illness to fall upon Bell Spirit."

She lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Chen Sha. "Having said this much, you should know why I came. Bell Spirit inherited the Blood Decay Syndrome from her mother’s side. If no one replaces her blood, she will barely live past twenty. However, you are the only relative she has left in this world. Therefore, only you, Sect Leader Chen, can save her. That’s why I..."

To save Bell Spirit, she had already gone to the Yuan Royal Family and even pleaded with Emperor Yuan Gu Xuanong, Bell Spirit’s uncle. Emperor Yuan agreed to try using his own blood to see if he could cure her...

But the reality was cruel. Their blood was incompatible—they were separated by a generation, after all. Left with no other choice, Mu Hongfu pinned all her hopes entirely on Chen Sha, Ancient Bell Spirit’s half-brother.

Hearing this, Chen Sha felt a heavy weight in his heart. As he looked at the ignorant and dull little girl again, his eyes couldn’t help but reveal deep pity and affection.

He crouched down, reaching out to gently touch the cheek of the little girl, who looked no more than ten years old. Unwrapping the candy she had given him earlier, he offered it to her.

"It’s for my brother!" Ancient Bell Spirit took the candy with her small hands and handed it back to Chen Sha. "For you to eat."

Deeply moved, Chen Sha gently held Ancient Bell Spirit’s small hands and popped the candy into her mouth. "I don’t eat candy. You have it."

With the candy stuffed into her left cheek, Ancient Bell Spirit’s face immediately puffed out. She stared at Chen Sha curiously, unable to understand why anyone would dislike candy.

Chen Sha stood back up. "Now that she is here with me, my sister will be perfectly fine. Even if my blood is incompatible with hers, it doesn’t matter. Even if I have to search every corner of the Divine Land, I will definitely find a way to save her."

Even if the Divine Land World didn’t have a cure, there was no way it wouldn’t exist in the All Heavens World behind the Southern Heavenly Gate. After all, wasn’t Blood Decay Syndrome just similar to leukemia, the blood cancer of his previous world? He could even summon Celestial Thunder down from the sky. He refused to believe he couldn’t cure a single patient!

With that, he invited the two of them into the Jade Capital Temple.

Bi Yunxiao and her disciple, who were staying at the Jade Capital Temple, heard that Chen Sha’s relatives had arrived and promptly went to the main hall. After listening closely to the details regarding the Blood Decay Syndrome, Bi Yunxiao cast a few extra glances at Mu Hongfu before speaking to Chen Sha.

"If you want to perform a blood transfusion for Bell Spirit, I have someone here who is highly proficient in medical skills. I can recommend him to you, Nephew Chen."

She looked toward Chang Xi and continued, "My disciple here is not only proficient in the Cyan Crow Three Phases, but he also loves to delve into all sorts of Miscellaneous Strange Techniques. He even has considerable expertise in the Qihuang Skill."

Chang Xi stepped forward slowly. "I have read about Blood Decay Syndrome in ancient texts. Rather than replacing the blood, it’s more accurate to say we need the patient’s body to generate healthy blood anew. Therefore, what needs to be replaced is not the blood itself, but the marrow that produces it."

He looked at Chen Sha. "Junior Brother Chen, your Martial Arts have reached a level where few in the world can match you. If the blood marrow of the two of you truly shares the same origin, then just a tiny bit of your marrow will be enough to rejuvenate Bell Spirit’s marrow, allowing it to produce healthy blood."

Seeing Chang Xi’s confident demeanor, Chen Sha realized that he didn’t just have "considerable expertise" as Bi Yunxiao had claimed—he was clearly a master of medicine and a highly skilled physician. Chen Sha immediately adopted a serious expression. "Then I will leave it in your hands, Senior Brother Chang."

Mu Hongfu looked at the ordinary-looking Daoist Child with gratitude. She had originally planned to invite Chen Sha back to Yuan Country so the Imperial Physicians there could perform a diagnosis, never expecting Chen Sha to have such a brilliant medical expert right by his side.

Chang Xi addressed the group. "To perform the transfusion, we first need to see if your blood marrow shares the same origin. The common method of dripping blood into water for kinship tests is completely inaccurate. I need to make some preparations. First, I’ll draw a little bit of blood from Junior Brother Chen and Bell Spirit. Then, I’ll go inside the room and use a different method to match them."

With that, he glanced at the two of them. Knowing that it would be easy to draw blood from Chen Sha—a First-Grade Great Innate could simply force it out with True Qi—he walked over to Ancient Bell Spirit first.

Just as he was about to speak and comfort the little girl, he froze.

Chang Xi’s expression blanked. He stared intently at the top of Ancient Bell Spirit’s head, his gaze then locking onto the little girl’s body as if he could see right through to her soul.

He murmured, "How is there still the power of a Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell lingering on this little girl? It’s as if she brought it out with her from the womb."

Chen Sha frowned. "What is the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell?" He immediately looked at Mu Hongfu.

However, Mu Hongfu was equally bewildered, clearly hearing for the first time that Ancient Bell Spirit had some sort of curse on her.

Bi Yunxiao chimed in from the side. "The Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell is a Buddhist Sect Qi Curse. When chanting the spell and circulating energy, utilizing this method can purify the Body God, allowing one to enter the realm of Meditation and Forgetfulness. The Buddhist Sect also believes that this Qi Curse can obliterate a person’s Inner and Outer Demons, returning them to a pure and spotless state."

Chen Sha looked at Ancient Bell Spirit’s dull and ignorant expression, his heart trembling with shock as he wondered, "Could it be...?"

Chang Xi said somberly, "It’s exactly as you suspect. The Curse Power on Bell Spirit’s body is practically innate. It runs through her internal organs and even the fibers of her flesh and blood, as if she was born with it. It is clear that while her mother was pregnant, someone secretly struck her with this Curse Power in an attempt to erase the child. For some unknown reason, though, the child was still born.

"But due to the influence of the Curse Power, her physical form and intelligence were both..."

Hearing this, a cold killing intent surged in Chen Sha’s eyes. Especially since he was born with the Beidou Killing Body, the manifestation of this killing intent caused the surrounding air to feel as if it were subtly freezing over.

He looked at Mu Hongfu and said coldly, "Since Lady Mu was right beside her when Bell Spirit was born, do you know the inside story?"

Mu Hongfu was equally shocked and furious, but she had absolutely no idea that such a thing had transpired behind the scenes.

Bi Yunxiao sighed. "There is no need to ask. The number of experts within the Buddhist Sect capable of casting the Mid-Yin Purification Body Spell to such a degree can be counted on one hand. Since sister Gu Rusu was one of the heirs to the Water Moon Temple back then..."

She didn’t vocalize the rest of her sentence, because such methods were simply too filthy.
