Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

"There's no leader among the reclusive families here; each family coexists peacefully and has its own strengths. There is rarely any strife," Song Yiping said and then told them, "We are approaching the array zone."

When Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu heard this, they stared ahead. With their level of cultivation, these arrays were child's play and posed no problem at all.

Song Yiping led the way cautiously, becoming increasingly perplexed as they passed through two arrays, mumbling, "Strange, why did this array change?"

Feng Jiu glanced at the array before continuing on her way, hand in hand with Xuanyuan Mo Ze. Song Yiping paused for a time before following them as they effortlessly avoided the arrays. However, he observed that the gap between him and them was growing, pushing him to hasten his pace in order to catch up.

"Who dares to trespass into Ye family territory!"

Four men emerged from the shadows with a booming shout, blocking Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu's path with fierce gazes.

"It's me."

Song Yiping stepped forward, wiping sweat off his forehead as he glanced at the couple. He followed them, watching as they strolled along, and despite his familiarity with left and right turns, he almost fell behind.

When they saw Song Yiping, one of them grinned and said, "Yiping! Why are you here? Who are these two?"

"This is Master Ling and Madam Ling. I invited them to help treat Ah Ling." Song Yiping explained, and then asked, "How has Ah Ling been lately? Is her health improving? Is she eating well?" 

When the four men heard this, their expressions changed subtly, and they stayed silent.

When Song Yiping saw this, he felt a chill in his heart and his face turned pale. "Is, is she not well?" His voice trembled, his heart sinking.

The older man sighed as he observed Song Yiping's reaction. "Since you left, Ye Ling's condition has worsened. Initially, she would wander around at night, but now she can't even move and stays in bed. Since then, the family has been plagued by an increasing number of problems. They would go out every night, and their health has been deteriorating as well."

He paused before continuing, "The family tried to keep this issue under wraps, but somehow it still got out, and other families started to notice. Strange things are also said to have happened to several other families. In the end, they all started to blame our Ye family and demanded that we explain. Since the clan elders couldn't do anything, they talked about cremating Ye Ling, saying that she was possessed by an evil spirit. They argued that if she wasn't completely burned, strange incidents would likely continue to occur in the family."

When Song Yiping heard this, he clenched his fists tightly, shaking with rage and his eyes turning scarlet. "You, did you all burn her to death?"

He lunged forward and grabbed one of the men by the collar, shaking him furiously. "How could you stand there and let them burn your sister? Why didn't you stop them? Why didn't you tell me? Why!"

The man clamped his lips together and bowed his head, unable to say a word.
