Zhang Lingyu fell silent all of a sudden. After learning Lin Tian's identity, she didn't know how to face him.

After a while, she finally said, "Xuanxuan's mind is confused because of the influence of the zombie gu. To save her, we must first remove the zombie gu from her body and restore her consciousness."

"Li Qingyun is not here, how do I..." Lin Tian wanted to say that he didn't know how to control the zombie gu. Back then, it was with Li Qingyun's help that he managed to extract the zombie gu from the Japanese woman.

However, Lin Tian quickly remembered that Little Zi wasn't an ordinary zombie gu; it was fed with his own zombie blood. Back then, Little Zi was flying an "8" dance in front of him.

There was no time to contact Li Qingyun now, not to mention whether he could find Li Qingyun was still uncertain. Lin Tian had no choice but to try.

He asked Rossi to clear the skeleton soldiers, while he carefully approached Second Miss, trying not to provoke her hostility, then suddenly shouted, "Little Zi, come out for me!"

Lin Tian was just trying his luck, not expecting Little Zi to actually crawl out from Xiao Manxuan's mouth. Once Little Zi came out, Xiao Manxuan's expression finally eased a little, and the fiery red in her eyes slowly faded, her gaze returning to clarity.

"Lin Tian, it's you?" Upon regaining clarity, the first thing Xiao Manxuan saw was Lin Tian, and she said in disbelief.

"Second Miss, it's me, I'm alright." Lin Tian was overjoyed and quickly replied.

"As long as you're okay, I'm relieved." Xiao Manxuan showed a hint of a smile, then closed her eyes and fainted.

"Second Miss..." Lin Tian exclaimed in shock, rushing forward to catch Xiao Manxuan as she fell.

Just touching her body, Lin Tian realized how frighteningly hot she was, hotter than boiling water, a temperature impossible for any normal human.

But Second Miss was just an ordinary person, why would she have such a high temperature? Could it be... the strange energy inside her? Lin Tian was momentarily flustered, the last outbreak had almost claimed her life.

"Lin Tian, let me take a look." Zhang Lingyu's voice sounded behind him, and with no better idea, Lin Tian could only nod.

Zhang Lingyu took out a palm-sized translucent card with intricate talismans drawn on it. She placed the talisman card in front of Xiao Manxuan's chest and began to chant a spell.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, Water God lend me your power, freeze!"

The translucent card flashed with white light, and Xiao Manxuan's body immediately froze, but as soon as the ice formed, flames erupted from her fiery red hair, and with a bang, the ice shattered instantly.

Zhang Lingyu turned pale, her spell backfiring on her. As her hair caught fire, Xiao Manxuan's temperature rose again, her skin quickly becoming a rosy red.

Perhaps stimulated, Xiao Manxuan let out a soft "hmm" and slowly opened her eyes again, her first sight still Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, it really is you." Xiao Manxuan said weakly.

"Did Little Zi betray you, causing you to suffer so much? Watch me destroy it, that ungrateful thing." Lin Tian gritted his teeth and said.

Little Zi seemed to sense Lin Tian's anger and quickly flew back into the necklace to hide.

"Lin Tian, don't blame Little Zi. I ordered it to do this. At the time, it was an urgent situation, I had no choice, but I don't regret it, even if it means giving up my life, as long as you and my sister are safe." Xiao Manxuan spoke softly, weak yet resolute.

After speaking, she reached out, trying to touch Lin Tian's face, but her hand fell powerlessly halfway, and her eyes slowly closed again.

"Second Miss..." Lin Tian shook her shoulders, calling out, but Xiao Manxuan didn't wake up again.

Lin Tian hastily used his vision to diagnose Xiao Manxuan, and when he saw her internal condition, he was stunned. The energy from Xu Nve had damaged her internal organs to varying degrees, with some even bleeding internally.

"Lin Tian, Xuanxuan... she's not breathing." Zhang Lingyu suddenly said, her voice trembling.

Lin Tian reached out to check her breath, finding none, and then her pulse, which was also absent.

Second Miss is dead? Lin Tian's eyes widened, unable to believe this reality.

"No way, Xuanxuan is so kind, how could heaven be willing to take her, I know medicine, I can save her..." Lin Tian babbled incoherently, trembling as he untied the golden thread from his wrist.

The usual fluid motion of acupuncture was now difficult for Lin Tian, even untying the golden thread was a challenge, yet once it was undone, he didn't know where to begin.

Second Miss's whole body was burning hot, her internal organs were damaged, and she had no breath, only a barely detectable heartbeat. Such symptoms were beyond human medicine, no medical book had ever documented this, and even a Divine Doctor couldn't bring her back.

Zhang Lingyu came over and held Lin Tian's arm, softly saying, "Lin Tian, it's useless, Xuanxuan's injuries are not ordinary, no human medicine can treat this, there's no medical technique in the world that can, Xuanxuan she..."

"This is her tribulation, a life and death tribulation, there's no escaping it. I predicted the beginning, but not such an end." Tears ran down Zhang Lingyu's face as she spoke sorrowfully.

"A life and death tribulation?" Lin Tian muttered despondently, recalling the divination scene with Senior Sister Zi Yan, where the Imperial Pole Worldly Book had predicted a 'tribulation' which turned out to be a life-threatening 'life and death tribulation'.

"Life and death are predetermined, fate cannot be defied, Xuanxuan... she couldn't escape her life and death tribulation." Zhang Lingyu said sadly, gripping Lin Tian tightly as if it was the only way to ease her sorrow.

"Fate cannot be defied? Haha..." Lin Tian suddenly laughed, a bitter, heart-wrenching laugh yet filled with inexhaustible rage, like a demon clawing its way out of hell.

"Lin Tian, you... what are you going to do?" Zhang Lingyu was startled by Lin Tian, her speech faltering, as his expression was more terrifying than any Demon God.

Lin Tian laughed grimly, saying darkly, "Life and death are predetermined, fate cannot be defied? Bullshit, I don't believe in fate, I don't believe in the heavens, I will defy the heavens and change fate!"

"Roar..."

A wild roar emerged from the depths of Lin Tian's throat, like a wounded beast, his eyes turning from black to yellow, with sharp zombie fangs extending from his mouth.

"Second Miss, no one can take you away from me, not even King Yama, not even the heavens." Lin Tian said coldly, his expression placid yet tenderly affectionate.

Zhang Lingyu, seeing Lin Tian transforming into a zombie, felt her heart skip a beat, immediately realizing Lin Tian's intention to turn Xiao Manxuan into a zombie.

As long as Xiao Manxuan had a breath left, becoming a zombie would solve everything. Even severe injuries would heal, and not even King Yama could take her life.
