I'm also desperate.

Chapter 56 Strange Distinction

It was likely that anyone called a martial artist by Lord Han had entered the path of martial arts!

A doctor who had entered the path of martial arts—no wonder Lord Han thought so highly of him.

Specialization in one's field. Fang Yue had noticed that Lord Han was strong, but his attainments in medical skills were clearly not very good.

At this time, the Blade-less Ghoul beside them had already turned to ashes, but they weren't black, but rather a light silver color.

Moreover, these light silver ashes were attracting each other, slowly condensing and fusing, eventually turning into two rectangular stones of the same size, about the size of a palm.

Lord Han took one for himself and gave one to Fang Yue.

"This is called Silverstone. It's much more precious than black ashes. With your current strength, you can't control this thing yet, so keep it safe for now."

"As for the other piece of Silverstone, I'll leave it as An Shenyi's medical fee. Do you have any objections? The price we agreed on earlier was only enough to treat qi deviation. He'll charge extra for your current condition."

Hearing that it was for medical expenses, Fang Yue immediately nodded repeatedly.

His life was more important!

He could earn Silverstone later.

The Analysis Eye stared at the Silverstone in his hand for a while.

The Silverstone was long and slender with distinct edges and corners, like an industrial product, possessing a neat and beautiful aesthetic.

"Name: Silverstone."

"Description: Remains of a ghoul after death. Has a wide range of uses."

Ah, this…

It was no different from the description of the black ashes!

This Analysis Eye was so unreliable.

Fang Yue was a little depressed, but he still put away the Silverstone. Lord Han wouldn't lie to him.

"Let's go back to the Earth Core first. So many things have happened in Gu Yue Village, I need to deal with them one by one."

Led by Lord Han, the two began to hurry back.

On the way, Lord Han also explained to Fang Yue the differences and characteristics between the Imprisonment Ghoul and the Forceful Expulsion Ghoul.

In short.

The Forceful Expulsion Ghoul was a combat-type ghoul for direct combat.

The Imprisonment Ghoul was a special type of ghoul with abilities.

Killing a combat ghoul like the Forceful Expulsion Ghoul would greatly improve one's cultivation.

Killing a special ghoul like the Imprisonment Ghoul would grant more yang lifespan from the ghoul.

In addition, the ability of the Imprisonment Ghoul lay in restriction and imprisonment, and its own combat power was not strong.

But in terms of level, it and the Forceful Expulsion Ghoul both belonged to the middle and upper reaches of the Black Wanderer Initial Stage.

The reason lay in its strange ability.

That kind of power was unreasonable. With vital organs like the heart popped out and held in its palm, who would dare disobey?

With life and death in its hands, it was possible to create a batch of human traitors.

"That's not right, doesn't the ghoul curse end in twenty-four hours? Given Niu Niu's reaction, he's likely dead after twenty-four hours, what's the point of controlling him?"

"Ends in twenty-four hours? Who told you that? There's no set time for a ghoul curse. It all depends on the strength of the ghoul casting the curse. Moreover, the ghoul's abilities can be released and retracted freely, naturally allowing it to control your life or death."

After a pause, Lord Han continued, "Fortunately, you recovered your strength and killed it. Otherwise, with your important organs taken away by the Imprisonment Ghoul, you would have had no room to resist tonight and could only obey obediently."

Hearing this, Fang Yue was shocked and felt lingering fear.

Imagine if organs like the heart were popped out by the ghoul and controlled by it. If the ghoul told him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west, completely at its mercy.

But upon closer inspection, Fang Yue felt that something seemed a little off.

Madam Chen broke into the Chen residence and exterminated the entire family.

So Madam Chen's target wasn't Chen Mu, otherwise she would have had the Imprisonment Ghoul pop out Chen Mu's heart and control him.

Then, two ghouls appeared in different places.

The one destroying the Earth Core aside, the location where the Imprisonment Ghoul appeared was very bizarre, as if it was searching for something centered on the Chen residence.

Coupled with Madam Chen's final abduction of him, and that intriguing phrase 'not yet mature'.

Fang Yue felt that the target of these three ghouls... seemed to be him.

Three ghouls were coming for him, and Lord Han was willing to travel thousands of miles to seek medical treatment for him.

Fang Yue felt as if he was hiding a big secret, but he was the only one who didn't know it.

But looking at Lord Han's gentle appearance, Fang Yue wondered if he was overthinking things.

"In short, it's always good to be more careful in everything."

"Let's get through tonight's difficulties first, restore your health, and explore other things later."

Suppressing his thoughts, Fang Yue was quickly brought back to the Earth Core by Lord Han.

At the Earth Core, the people who had been waiting for a long time were overjoyed when they saw Lord Han returning with Fang Yue, and they respectfully greeted him.

"Lord Han, have you eliminated the ghoul?" Lin Ling asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's dead."

Lord Han frowned as he looked at the Earth Core, which had been split in half, leaving only a fifty-meter-high Human Soul Fire.

With a wave of his hand, a faint mist spread out, and the exposed Human Soul Fire was immediately suppressed back into the broken Earth Core.

The mist continued to spread, wrapping around the broken Earth Core in the front and back, seamlessly connecting the gap, barely forming a closed loop.

"This is just an emergency measure, we need to arrange the repair of the Earth Core as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Lord Han gave instructions, and many stonemasons quickly stood out from the crowd, gathered together to discuss how to repair the Earth Core, and asked people to collect the Earth Core materials scattered on the ground.

Earth Core materials were not ordinary stones, they were very precious. Even if all the fragments on the ground were collected and repaired, there would still be a shortage of materials. They needed to purchase a batch from neighboring villages, which would be full of difficulties, and it was impossible tonight.

They could only use the materials at hand to repair the existing Earth Core in the simplest and fastest way possible, even if the quality was a little worse.

There was no need for Lord Han to lie. The thin mist could temporarily work, but it definitely wouldn't last long, so they had to act quickly. If the Human Soul Fire was exposed to the air again, and the Human Soul Fire reserves were insufficient, Gu Yue Village would still be in crisis.

Seeing that the stonemasons in the village had already started discussing, Lord Han instructed other matters.

"I don't know if there are any hidden ghouls in the village. Captain Lin, please have your men patrol the village to see if there are any that slipped through the net."

"Yes!"

Lin Ling immediately arranged for manpower to go down. Soon, teams of people holding Human Soul Fire torches scattered in all directions, patrolling the entire village.

Lord Han thought for a while, and then said, "Later, you and I will go to the Chen residence. Chen Mu's body is still hanging at the door. In a few days, we will hold a funeral and send him off with dignity."

"Yes."

Lord Han was forcibly teleported back by the teleportation talisman, so he didn't know much about the situation in Gu Yue Village tonight.

At that time, in order to explain the situation in time, Lin Ling used very brief two or three sentences to explain the situation, and then Lord Han went to chase the Blade-less Ghoul to save Fang Yue.

So he was now beginning to deal with village affairs in detail.

And this was just the beginning. So many people had died, many positions were vacant, and more manpower and arrangements were needed.

These things were headache-inducing just thinking about them. Fortunately, Lin Ling was a capable person, assisting Lord Han, and things were handled in an orderly manner.

After simply finalizing the general direction, Lord Han asked, "How is Hua Wu Ye?"
