Li Changqing’s gaze was fixed.

The handle of the teacup was still shaking on the table.

“Eh.” Xu Muhai reached out to pick up the handle of the teacup, then smiled and said, “I’m really sorry, I haven’t replaced anything here for a long time. I rarely have visitors, so I didn’t notice that this teacup was broken. I’ll get you a new one later.”

Li Changqing didn’t say anything, he looked into the distance, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.

“Where did Hengsheng go? I need to find him.” With the breaking of the teacup handle, Li Changqing felt increasingly anxious, as if something had gone wrong.

He put the mask back on his face, ready to leave. He couldn’t stay here any longer.

“Brother Changqing, there are people looking for you everywhere outside. How are you going to leave? Are you going to fight your way out?” Xu Muhai hurriedly said, “Moreover, even the large formation of Dao Mountain Ancient Land has been activated. If you want to leave, you will have to risk your life. And considering the commotion you caused earlier, it’s hard to say what will happen.”

“Calm down and wait here. They will be back soon. As soon as he returns, I will have him come to Mu Haifeng to see me, okay?”

Xu Muhai felt that Li Changqing was a good person, but he was too sensitive when it came to matters involving Li Hengsheng.

However, Xu Muhai also knew, just as Li Changqing had said, he had never been a father, so he couldn’t understand the feelings of a father.

After much persuasion, Li Changqing finally sat down to continue waiting.

Meanwhile, outside the mountain gate, the flying luan of Cangyuan Escort Agency had arrived.

“What happened? Why is the mountain gate formation activated?” Seeing the large formation around Dao Mountain Ancient Land activated, Yang Tiantian, who was on the flying luan, spoke incredulously.

The mountain gate formation, in Yang Tiantian’s memory, seemed to have been activated only once.

“It’s Sister Yang.”

The disciples patrolling near the mountain gate saw Yang Tiantian, and the leader quickly came forward and respectfully said, “Someone broke into Dao Mountain Ancient Land last night. The person hasn’t been caught yet, so the mountain gate formation was activated to prevent him from escaping. However, you can enter at any time, but to leave, you need to apply to the Peak Master of the Law Enforcement Peak.”

“Okay.”

At this point, Yang Tiantian couldn’t care less. She didn’t have time to delve into the details of someone invading Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Now, saving people was the most important thing.

Li Hengsheng’s breath was getting weaker and weaker. He had to be rushed to Mu Haifeng immediately for the master to figure out a solution.

So the flying luan plunged into the black cloud, spread its huge wings, and flew towards Mu Haifeng.

The flying luan’s long cry in the sky attracted a lot of attention.

Seeing that it was the flying luan of Cangyuan Escort Agency, everyone showed a curious look, wondering what the urgent matter was that required them to return to the mountain gate on the flying luan of Cangyuan Escort Agency.

As the flying luan got closer and closer to Mu Haifeng, Li Changqing felt more and more uneasy.

It was as if his blood was throbbing.

It was like a call from his blood.

Li Changqing suddenly stood up and looked into the distance. He felt a very familiar aura approaching.

At this moment, even Xu Muhai looked up into the distance. Seeing the flying luan of Cangyuan Escort Agency flying over, and Yang Tiantian, who looked anxious, standing on the flying luan, Xu Muhai’s heart skipped a beat.

What happened?

Did something really go wrong?

Yang Tiantian directly lifted Li Hengsheng up, then jumped off the flying luan and landed in Xu Muhai’s courtyard. She hurriedly said, “Master, please save junior brother. He’s not going to make it.”

As soon as these words came out, before Xu Muhai could react, Li Changqing almost lost his balance.

Although it was his first time seeing Li Hengsheng, the faint feeling between their bloodlines told Li Changqing that the young man lying there, barely breathing, was his son.

“Hengsheng.”

Li Changqing moved quickly to Li Hengsheng’s side. Seeing that Li Hengsheng’s body was filled with ghost qi, which was eating away at his body.

His whole body was almost covered with ghost qi, which had reached his neck. Li Changqing guessed that if it reached his head, the person would not be saved.

“How could this happen.” Xu Muhai also felt a chill in his heart. He grabbed Li Hengsheng’s wrist and injected his powerful true essence into Li Hengsheng’s body, trying to force out the ghost qi with his own powerful true essence.

But when Xu Muhai’s true essence entered Li Hengsheng’s body, the terrifying ghost qi fought back like a beast. The true essence that Xu Muhai had poured into Li Hengsheng’s body was instantly consumed, and it was useless.

This ghost qi was incredibly fierce, far beyond Xu Muhai’s expectations.

“Ghost-eating Heavenly Bull.”

Xu Muhai struggled to say this name.

“What is that?” Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai with cold eyes.

“It’s a poisonous insect that grows in the Cloud Wilderness. It’s one of the top three poisons in the world. This poisonous insect feeds on the Ghost Clan and contains an astonishing ghost poison. It can burrow into the human body and release toxins. Within ten breaths, one will be consumed by the ghost poison and die.”

“But because of the body refining technique that Li Hengsheng practices, he can resist the poison of the Ghost-eating Heavenly Bull, so he has survived until now. However, judging from the current situation, I’m afraid he won’t last two hours.” Xu Muhai could also see that Li Hengsheng’s Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body had played a great role in suppressing the poison.

But once the poison passed the neck and entered the brain, even a god would find it hard to save him.

“Peak Master Xu, save him quickly.” Li Changqing hurriedly said.

Yang Tiantian, who had just entered, hadn’t had time to wonder who this strange man with a mask was. But from what Li Changqing just said, Yang Tiantian realized that this man with a mask was actually Li Hengsheng’s father.

Wasn’t that the expert her master had mentioned?”The poison of the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox…” Xu Muhai seemed somewhat helpless, then continued, “Once infected with this poison, death usually follows swiftly. There’s simply no time to concoct an antidote, so I’m not entirely sure how to neutralize it.”

After saying this, Xu Muhai could clearly feel the air around him grow colder.

The chilling atmosphere made it feel as if they were in an ice cellar, as if Li Changqing was about to go on a killing spree at any moment.

“Tiantian,” Xu Muhai hurriedly said, “Go fetch Pavilion Master Li. He must have a solution.”

“Okay!”

Yang Tiantian didn’t dare to delay, she rushed out of the room to find Li Jinsong.

“Ghost Resentment, Ghost Resentment…”

At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly thought, “Since his body is filled with Ghost Resentment, perhaps my wooden carving could be of use.”

“Perhaps it could be of use.” Xu Muhai’s eyes lit up.

Without considering the danger, he immediately took off the Ksitigarbha statue from around his neck and placed it on Li Hengsheng.

Sure enough, as soon as the Ksitigarbha statue appeared, the Ghost Resentment in Li Hengsheng’s body seemed to be faintly suppressed.

However…

The effect was minimal.

“How could this be?” Li Changqing was somewhat surprised. His wooden carving could suppress the vicious Ghost Resentment Curse, so why was it ineffective now?

His wooden carving had failed.

“The poison of the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox, although it contains Ghost Resentment, it is primarily a toxin. Even though it can suppress the Ghost Resentment, the toxin is the most lethal part. This… cannot suppress the toxin.” Xu Muhai was also very disappointed when he saw this.

Li Changqing remained silent for a long time.

Sitting next to Li Hengsheng, he watched as Li Hengsheng’s eyes remained tightly closed, seemingly unable to even stay conscious, his expression filled with pain.

Seeing this, Li Changqing felt a pang of heartache.

Even though this was their first meeting.

But the feeling of blood ties made Li Changqing feel no strangeness towards this child he was meeting for the first time.

He felt that he was his son.

Blood ties.

Holding Li Hengsheng’s hand, Li Changqing also tried to use his Divine Soul to suppress the poison in Li Hengsheng’s body, but after trying, he found it to be utterly useless.

It seemed like all methods were useless, he could only watch as his child lay here unconscious, and even watch him slowly die.

“Brother Changqing.” Xu Muhai didn’t know what to say at this moment, he softly called out.

“Peak Master Xu, please think of another way.” Li Changqing’s voice was very calm, seemingly devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

“I’ll think again.” Xu Muhai had a lot to say, but he swallowed his words and just promised to think again.

But at this moment, apart from waiting for Li Jinsong to arrive, Xu Muhai had no other solutions.

If Mu Qingge were here, perhaps there would be a way, but Medical King Valley was too far away. By the time Mu Qingge arrived, Li Hengsheng would have already passed away.

“Hengsheng, don’t be afraid, your father is here. Once Pavilion Master Li arrives, there will be a solution.” Li Changqing held Li Hengsheng’s hand, sat by the bed, and spoke softly.

He was like an ordinary father guarding his feverish child.

Fei, who was lying by the table, watched this scene and let out a soft whimper. It could feel that Li Changqing’s emotional fluctuations were seemingly calm, but extremely intense.

Although it didn’t know what had happened.

But it knew that it couldn’t provoke Li Changqing now, otherwise it would easily get torn apart.

After a short while, the door of the room was opened, and Li Jinsong walked in. His disheveled appearance made him look like a fallen scholar.

Originally, Li Jinsong was sulking in the Floating Image Pavilion, but when Yang Tiantian came to tell him that Li Hengsheng was in critical condition, Li Jinsong immediately left the Floating Image Pavilion and followed Yang Tiantian to Mu Haifeng.

Li Jinsong had a very good impression of Li Hengsheng.

The child who gave him a huge surprise the first time he came to the Floating Image Pavilion.

The first genius in a thousand years to comprehend the “Zhao Mountain Gazing at Immortals Painting”.

“Why are you here?” When Li Jinsong walked in and wanted to check on Li Hengsheng’s condition, he immediately saw Li Changqing sitting next to Li Hengsheng.

Li Jinsong’s face changed instantly: “Let go of that child, what are you trying to do to him!”

“Pavilion Master Li.” Li Changqing stood up and bowed respectfully, “I offended you last night, I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me. I’ll explain this matter later, please save my son first.”

“Your son?”

Li Jinsong was taken aback: “Then you are…”

“Brother Li, he is Li Hengsheng’s father. He just wanted to sneak in and see his child last night. Please check on Hengsheng first.” Xu Muhai hastily explained.

Li Hengsheng’s father?

Li Jinsong was very surprised. He had thought that Li Hengsheng was just an ordinary disciple with no background. He didn’t expect Li Hengsheng’s father to be such a master.

A true Painting Sage!

Although he had many questions in his heart, Li Jinsong knew that now was not the time to ask. He quickly came over to check on Li Hengsheng’s condition.

“Indeed, it’s the poison of the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox.” Li Jinsong sighed, “To have survived this long after being poisoned by the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox, it’s all thanks to his cultivation method and his physique.”

“Can it be cured?” Li Changqing hurriedly asked.

“There is a way.” Li Jinsong stood up, sighed lightly, and said, “The poison of the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox is indeed tricky, it’s practically lethal on contact. However, the poison of the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox grows stronger when it encounters stronger opponents. The toxins they produce in the human body are specifically targeted at the person’s cultivation level. After releasing the toxin, the Ghost-Eating Heavenly Ox will not release the toxin again for half a year.”

“In other words, the poison in Li Hengsheng’s body is lethal to him at the moment, but that’s only because it’s targeted at him, who is at the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm. That’s why his physique can suppress the toxin. However, for those with higher cultivation, this poison is not lethal.”

“However, even though it’s not lethal, it’s inevitable that one’s cultivation will be damaged.””But it’s still better than dying. As long as we find someone with high cultivation, they can suck the poison out of Li Hengsheng’s mouth with their own powerful strength. As for the Ghost Resentment in his body, it’s not a concern, I have my own ways to resolve it.”

After finishing, Li Jinsong glanced at the few people present, as if asking, who among you will do it?

“Huh?”

“Does it have to be mouth-to-mouth?”

Everyone was stunned. This method of detoxification was a bit too…

“I can’t do it, I still have my first kiss, I… I need to get married in the future.” Yang Tiantian was almost in tears. Although she felt responsible, she couldn’t bring herself to detoxify Li Hengsheng mouth-to-mouth. So, she stepped back.

However, a hint of struggle flashed across Yang Tiantian’s face. If there really was no other way, then… she would risk it all. After all, Li Hengsheng was poisoned while by her side, she couldn’t escape the blame.

“I’ll do it!” At this moment, Xu Muhai fully demonstrated his duty as a master.

“I am his master. If I, as his master, don’t do this, who will?” Xu Muhai stepped forward, rolled up his sleeves, even moved his mouth a bit, took a deep breath, and was about to proceed.

Li Changqing’s face behind the mask turned green. He could vaguely see the leek stuck between Xu Muhai’s teeth.

It was a bit hard to look directly at.

“Muhai, you can’t do it.” Just as Xu Muhai was about to move forward, Li Jinsong spoke up.

“Why?” Xu Muhai was taken aback.

“You have the Ghost Resentment curse in your body, right? I don’t know how you suppressed it, but if you suck in the poison of the Ghost Resentment, the two will mix, and even gods won’t be able to save you.” Li Jinsong glanced at the small ghost claw on Xu Muhai’s neck.

“This…” Xu Muhai was startled, then looked at Li Changqing with some difficulty.

The other two also turned to look at Li Changqing.

Since they weren’t going to do it, it was up to him.

“Do I have to do it?”

Li Changqing felt a bit awkward. Sucking out the poison from his son’s mouth wasn’t a big deal, a father kissing his son was nothing, but that was when he was little. Now his son was all grown up, many children his age already had their own children.

Was he going to have such an intimate interaction with his son the first time they met?

But for his son’s life, damn it, he would risk it all.

Was he… going to kiss?

Li Changqing stepped forward, looking at Li Hengsheng’s lips, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared himself.

Where was his child’s mother?

Where was his daughter-in-law?

Where was Fei?!

Fei, who was lying on the table, shivered for no apparent reason.

Some people were dead, but not completely dead…
