A man in his early forties passed by the village entrance and saw the middle-aged man known as Old Man Zhou. He used the hunting knife in his hand to cut the Evil-Breaking rope knot.

Instantly, his eyes turned red with urgency, and he quickly called over the nearby villagers to handle the trouble.

Old Man Zhou heard the reckless curses of these villagers, and like a solid, massive rock, he showed no reaction at all.

Right in front of the arriving villagers, he kicked open the coffin lid.

The coffin fell to the ground, and I glimpsed at the contents for just a moment.

I nearly blacked out from nausea, oh my heavens.

In the coffin lay a child, but his body was covered in snake scales.

Those with a phobia of clusters would have been done for right then and there!

As the lid of the coffin was pushed open, the child opened his green snake-like eyes and was about to jump out from the inside.

"Go! Go, go!" Old Man Zhou said three times, those three words echoing like divine chants, stunning everyone as if their minds had been washed.

In his hand, the stick as thick as a finger was actually a powerful Corpse-Binding Needle, which he drove directly into the child's brow.

After being struck, the child's presence visibly weakened considerably.

Yet, he still fiercely opened his mouth and bit viciously towards Old Man Zhou's wrist.

Old Man Zhou said coldly, "You know not of death or life."

With just a light shake, he flung the child, whose face was covered in snake scales, back into the coffin.

With a "puff" sound, the child turned into a mist of blood.

Nothing was left in the coffin but a small set of bones...

My heart tightened with discomfort, causing me to stagger back several steps.

Old Man Zhou asked, "Did you see it?"

"I saw it," Yu Longting answered.

Old Man Zhou lit a cigarette, took a puff, and after a long pause, he solemnly spoke, "I know the purpose of your visit. If you insist on proceeding, this is what you'll face. And..."

This time, he paused for a while before continuing, "And with your and your wife's knowledge, you wouldn't be unaware that this kind of thing can't be cured! Staying here, you'll definitely get reinfected. Even if you escape from here, your luck will be terrible, and you won't live long."

"My wife said that today we're only dealing with the pregnant woman as an emergency; she didn't think about achieving it all at once," Yu Longting listened to all this, still looking indifferent with no extra expressions on his face.

Compared to the trivial incident of being hit by a wad of paper money earlier, he was utterly nonchalant in the face of this major turmoil.

No matter what happened, everything was to proceed as originally planned.

Old Man Zhou glanced at me, "Did you arrange this?"

"Yes, the origin should be a problem with the earth veins. Although I don't know much about these, my husband does. Given a bit of time, he definitely can solve it," I answered leisurely, feeling suddenly calm and rational after seeing the change in the child in the coffin before and after.

Facing Old Man Zhou, I no longer easily wavered or felt a sense of fear.

Old Man Zhou did not question further but nodded in satisfaction, then rolled up his sleeve, "As a pregnant woman, you must be careful. Even someone like me has contracted the snake scale disease."

There were only a few snake scales, about a dozen, on Old Man Zhou's wrist, which seemed not too severe.

But it was evident that he had used his Spiritual Power to suppress them, preventing them from spreading.

The infection that could affect him was much more severe than those found in the Snake Sect.

Compared to most snake infections in the Snake Sect, it was not child's play.

"Your situation here is quite serious indeed, with many people in the village infected, and without the protections of a sect, the evil energy is exceptionally heavy," When I saw Old Man Zhou's snake scale disease, I thought of Liu Hongluan's situation; the level of evil energy between them was similar.

I rummaged through my crossbody bag and pulled out a pomelo leaf.

The thought of his deliberately hidden identity as a top expert, and how could he not know the use of pomelo leaves, if pomelo leaves could cure it, they would have been used long ago.

I had almost forgotten my fear of him; just now, his sincere advice had expressed goodwill, and I couldn't help but try to see if I could help him.

So, I touched the Ginseng bracelet on my wrist, "Shenshen, can you come out and help check this uncle 's snake scale disease, please?"
