In the medical room, two people lay on the beds, both in a昏迷 state. Chu Tian didn't recognize them. However, as they entered, a transparent isolation tank made of an unknown material was visible, containing another person. This tank could block Chu Tian's divine sense; he could only detect its shape but not penetrate it. Inside the isolation tank was Luo Yiyi's father, covered in tubes and also in a昏迷 state. The readings on the adjacent equipment indicated he was not in danger. The two men on the beds were around the same age as Luo Luo's father and bore some resemblance. A complex machine connected them. Chu Tian observed for a while, astonished to discover that this device was a combination of high technology and formations. Without dwelling on it, his trip to the Luo family would be considered complete once Luo Yiyi's father was rescued.
"Dad..." Luo Luo, upon seeing this, pressed herself against the tank and repeatedly patted it. Chu Tian quickly comforted her but dared not move himself. Having no other option, he turned and called for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu was immensely shocked by everything she saw, but under Chu Tian's urging, she examined the device. After pressing a few buttons, a hiss sounded, and the transparent cover of the isolation tank slowly opened. Lin Ran and others also arrived, quickly helping to lift Chu Tian's future father-in-law out.
After a check-up by Lin Yu, she shook her head. "His bodily functions are fine. However... he's in a deep昏迷 state, and it's unclear when he'll wake up." Hearing this, Luo Luo burst into tears. Chu Tian attempted to use two healing skills, but they had no effect, clearly indicating that while healing skills could treat injuries, they were useless against this state of昏迷.
Luo Lingfeng, who had come with them, stood between the two medical beds, looking left and right. Finally, he flipped over the person on his left. "Luo Lingshan... damn you!" Luo Lingfeng's eyes nearly bulged out in rage. "Yu丫头, come here quickly!" While everyone was bewildered by his intense hatred towards a deceased person, he anxiously called out to Lin Yu. "Quick, take a look at how he is?"
"Ninth Grandpa, what's wrong?" Luo Luo, Chu Tian, and others brought a mobile bed and placed her father on it. They happened to hear Luo Lingfeng's call. "It's nothing. You take the clan leader out first, Chu Tian, you come here!" He kept Chu Tian and Lin Yu, sending everyone else away.
"Lin Yu, Xiao Tian, you two must..." "Your son?" Before he could finish, Chu Tian blurted out. "Ah? Uh..." Luo Lingfeng's old face shifted through several expressions before he finally nodded. "Yes!" "You should have said so earlier... I knew you had illegitimate children!" Chu Tian chuckled mischievously, patting Luo Lingfeng's shoulder disrespectfully. "But how can you be sure he's your son?" As Luo Lingfeng blushed and was about to speak, Lin Yu looked up and said, "Grandpa Feng, his condition is very poor and requires a blood transfusion soon..."
It was Lin Yu who was more sensible, addressing him as Grandpa right away. The old fellow paused upon hearing this, then immediately rolled up his sleeve. Before he could speak, a phantom image of a towering ancient tree erupted from Chu Tian's back. "Ancient Tree Form..." "Rejuvenate... Heal... Life Bloom..." "Done, job finished!" In three seconds, Chu Tian waved his hand, retracting the phantom image behind him. Luo Lingfeng, having never witnessed his healing abilities, stared at the scene in a daze.
At this moment, the machine between the two people, which had stopped running, suddenly whirred to life. "Not good... his blood is being drawn and injected into that person... Ah..." Lin Yu cried out in panic, checking the tubes inserted into Luo Lingfeng's son. As she spoke, a splattering sound was heard, and blood, white matter, and fluids flew everywhere. Luo Lingfeng struck the other person's head with a palm. This action made Lin Yu scream in fright. Simultaneously, the machine between them ceased to operate.
"Damn... Who is this guy?" Chu Tian exclaimed. "You old fool, have you gone mad?" "It was just drawing some blood from your son." "Is it necessary to smash his head in?" Chu Tian was also startled, mainly because blood had splattered all over his face. "The offspring of Old Eighth..." Luo Lingfeng said resentfully. "I finally understand why they used my divine soul to suppress the statue's will of the ancestor." "They wanted to pull a fast one." "Using my divine soul to alter the statue's recognition of the clan leader's bloodline, and then transferring my son's bloodline to his son."
After hearing this, Chu Tian tried to count it out on his fingers but couldn't fathom the method. He finally asked foolishly, "Does it have to be this complicated?" "Why not just draw the clan leader's blood directly?" Luo Lingfeng shook his head, pointed at the isolation tank, and said, "They created a false impression of the clan leader's bloodline disappearing." "The ancestor's will within the statue would enter a period of dormancy..." Luo Lingfeng explained a great deal, which Chu Tian only barely understood. However, this was not what concerned him.
After bidding farewell to Luo Lingfeng, he and Lin Yu walked towards the exit. Suddenly, as Chu Tian was nearing the exit, his body flickered, and he punched the wall, his arm piercing through the glossy steel plate wall. "Ah..." A scream came from within the wall. "Old fellow, I've caught her, come help quickly." Luo Lingfeng responded, arriving instantly. With his hand shaped like a blade, he made three swift cuts, slicing through the entire steel plate. Chu Tian yanked his arm outward, pulling out a three-centimeter thick steel plate with a woman attached.
"Luo Qing..." Elder Jiu, Luo Lingfeng, gritted his teeth as he looked at the woman. Reaching out, he grabbed her by the hair and pulled her from Chu Tian's grasp. "Ninth Uncle, spare my life... I was forced by Eighth Uncle!" Luo Qing's face was pale. She continuously pleaded for mercy from Luo Lingfeng. Chu Tian tossed the steel plate aside and looked at the cave behind them. "Where does this lead?" The entire medical room here was constructed from the same special steel. This material could significantly weaken divine sense penetration. Because Chu Tian's divine sense was isolated by this special metal, his detection range through the steel plate was only a few inches. If not for Luo Qing repeatedly peeking through a needle-sized hole on the steel plate to observe the situation in the medical room, Chu Tian would not have discovered her. After each peek, she would leave, seemingly heading to another location.
Chu Tian took the lead and walked in. It was like a maze inside, and without the help of his divine sense, it would be easy to get lost. Finally, he arrived outside another special steel plate that also prevented divine sense detection. Chu Tian thought, how afraid of divine sense users could the Luo family be? They even managed to acquire this kind of metal. He pressed himself against it, fumbling for a long time, pushing hard, but it wouldn't open. He also couldn't find any switches. With no other option, he had to resort to brute force.
"Giant Bear... Heavy Strike..." Chu Tian raised his palm, preparing to force his way through, when the metal door in front of him slid to the left, revealing a figure. Chu Tian froze, thinking, "Damn..." So this door slides, not opens or closes? "It's you..." The person before him stiffened upon seeing Chu Tian.
