Chen Xiao could be one hundred percent certain that the familiar aura was definitely his mother's.
He shouted, "Brother Li, my mother's soul has appeared!"
Li Mu gritted his teeth and replied loudly, "Brother Chen, hurry and summon her soul!"
"Mom, please come back!"
"Mom, please come back..."
...
Chen Xiao kept repeating the words in his mouth.
He felt that the familiar aura was in front of him. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately walked towards the Seven Fiends Blood Banner.
The wind howled, growing stronger and stronger.
The Seven Fiends Blood Banner in Li Mu's hand was trembling incessantly.
At this moment, countless wandering souls and ghosts were snatching the Seven Fiends Blood Banner from his hand.
It looked like he was about to collapse...
This was the drawback of having Li Mu perform the soul summoning ritual.
Normally, users of the Seven Fiends Blood Banner possessed offensive combat skills. If those wandering souls and ghosts came to snatch the banner, the user could easily repel them.
However, Li Mu only knew how to use the Seven Fiends Blood Banner but did not possess any offensive combat skills. Therefore, when the wandering souls and ghosts came to snatch it, he could only grit his teeth and hold on.
Even though it was daytime, he had still underestimated the energy of these wandering souls and ghosts.
"Brother Chen, hurry, I can't hold on any longer!"
Li Mu used all his strength, his veins bulging, his eyes almost popping out.
"Mom, please come back... Mom, please come back... Mom, please come back..."
Chen Xiao had immense skill, but because his mother's soul was among them, he dared not use any spells on these wandering souls and ghosts. He could only repeatedly say these words to call back his mother's soul.
As his thoughts moved, his mother's soul seemed to finally sense Chen Xiao's calls. She slowly walked towards Chen Xiao.
But her return was extremely difficult, as countless wandering souls and ghosts rushed towards the Seven Fiends Blood Banner. In the process of rushing, they kept pushing her back.
For every step she took forward, she was pushed three steps back.
"Mom, please come back!"
"Mom, please come back!"
Chen Xiao was so anxious that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. The tension he felt facing Zhu Jiuyin was less than a ten-thousandth of his current anxiety.
Li Mu was clearly about to collapse. His body seemed to be lifted by the impact.
Just then, he suddenly thought of something.
There was a rumor that wandering souls and ghosts feared the vital blood of a virgin... and although he was twenty-eight, he was an unadulterated virgin!
Whether this rumor was true or not, he had to try.
He sharply bit the tip of his tongue, and the salty blood instantly filled his mouth!
Under the effect of adrenaline, he no longer felt pain. He opened his mouth wide and spat out the fresh blood.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—
It worked. The moment the vital blood was sprayed out, a frying sound instantly echoed in the air, accompanied by a series of incredibly tragic ghostly wails.
"Well done!"
Chen Xiao praised loudly. He could sense that under the baptism of Li Mu's vital blood, those wandering souls and ghosts were retreating one after another.
And his mother's soul took the opportunity to come to Chen Xiao's side, returning to her body.
Almost instantaneously, Liu Zhen's eyes snapped open, and she sat up.
She gasped for air in large gulps!
Seeing that Liu Zhen had woken up, Li Mu immediately put away the Seven Fiends Blood Banner, ending the soul summoning ritual.
As for those wandering souls and ghosts, they drifted aimlessly in the living room like headless flies.
Chen Xiao didn't have time to deal with them for the moment. He looked at his mother and asked, "Mom, are you awake? Do you still remember me?"
Liu Zhen's eyes widened, "Son, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? How could I not recognize you?!"
"Mom, you finally remember me!"
Chen Xiao excitedly hugged his mother, like a child who never grew up.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu couldn't help but be stunned, and then he sighed with emotion.
It turned out that no matter how powerful a person was, they were still a child in front of their mother.
At this moment, Liu Zhen said, "Son, Mom had a dream just now, a very long dream... An old Taoist priest tied me up in the basement, and then I don't know how I started floating, and I just floated and floated and floated..."
As she spoke, Liu Zhen's eyes closed, and faint snores sounded.
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback. Just as he was about to wake his mother, Li Mu immediately stopped him, "Don't, Brother Chen. Aunt's soul has been away from her body for so long. She needs a period of reintegration. Let her sleep. When she wakes up, everything will be fine."
Chen Xiao suddenly understood and nodded. Then he said gratefully, "Brother Li, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do."
Li Mu smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. Compared to Brother Chen's great achievements, I'm still far behind!"
Li Mu appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, his heart was exploding with excitement. Finally receiving Chen Xiao's recognition was such great honor!
To avoid waking his mother, Chen Xiao gently placed her on the sofa. Just then, the phone rang urgently.
Chen Xiao quickly answered it and said resentfully, "Who's calling me at this time? If they wake my mom, I'm not done with them!"
Fortunately, Liu Zhen was not woken up. The call was from the hospital director, Hao Datong.
"Hello, Chen Xiao, what's going on with you? Why haven't you been to work for so many days?"
As soon as the call connected, Hao Datong said irritably.
Chen Xiao then remembered that ever since he returned from the provincial capital, he had not been to the hospital. He had also not requested leave from the hospital when he went to Jiao Province.
Chen Xiao chuckled sheepishly and said, "Oh, it's Director Hao. There was an urgent family matter, so I went out for a few days and forgot to ask for leave. I'm really sorry!"
"Forget it, forget it. You don't need to be sorry to me. I think you're quite shameless!"
Hao Datong said sarcastically.
"Haha, Director Hao, don't be angry. You must have something to tell me, right? Let's get straight to the point!"
Chen Xiao laughed heartily. He knew that Director Hao must have a reason for calling him and it couldn't just be about skipping work.
As expected, Director Hao then said, "You guessed it, kid. The hospital has a big case. You need to come over quickly!"
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
Chen Xiao's main profession was, after all, a doctor. Since the hospital summoned him, he naturally had to go.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Chen Xiao hurried to the hospital.
Hao Datong personally met him at the hospital entrance.
As soon as he saw Chen Xiao, he waved and said, "Quick, come with me!"
Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask, "What kind of patient is it that has you so anxious?"
"You'll know when we get there."
Director Hao didn't say directly but instead brought Chen Xiao to... the morgue!
