Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

"Bang!"

"Aah!'

Chaotic sounds erupted. Blood gushed from their mouths as the four or five people were flung back several metres. The two rescued men looked at their attackers, who had been pushed away from them, with wide, shocked eyes. When they turned around, they saw a woman in azure pull back her hand. As she withdrew her hand, the energy breath that had been pouring through it faded as well.

Behind her stood Song Yiping, who was carrying a person wrapped in a black cloak. Because the other person's body and face were not revealed, it was hard to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

A bearded man in black stood next to the woman in azure. They were taken aback when they recognised these rather familiar faces.

"You, why are you all here?"

Feng Jiu glanced at them nonchalantly and said, "Had we not been here, you'd be dead by now."

"Aah!"

Those attackers scrambled to their feet and charged ahead with their knives, seemingly unconcerned about their injuries. They seemed to have gone insane and their eyes were bloodshot.

The man who had been pushed aside earlier suddenly came to his senses. He quickly pulled out a signal flare from his space ring and then shot it into the sky. It exploded with a loud bang and formed a signal pattern.

When the Ye family saw the signal, they were startled and immediately commanded, "Quick! Something's happened! Follow me!" They all dashed out, racing after the signal.

Other families were stunned after hearing the Ye family's signal. "Could it be the person taking the divine beast has appeared?" they wondered.

With this in mind, the patriarchs of those families quickly led their people to the source of the signal smoke. 

Back in the forest, Song Yiping saw his Song clan members among the attackers and shouted, "Stop! All of you stop! What are you doing?"

"There's no need to shout. Can't you see that they've all gone insane?" 

Feng Jiu replied casually, glancing briefly at those people. She ignored the people charging at her and swept past the corpses on the ground. She looked at the three remaining members of the Ye family and asked, "How can you remain clear-headed?"

"They've lost their sanity. Let's stop them from attacking first!" The two who had been rescued helped each other stand up. Seeing their attackers coming at them with blades, they involuntarily took a step back.

"Should we kill them?" Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow, looking at Song Yiping.

Song Yiping's face turned sombre. "Madam Ling, could you just knock them out? These are elite members of several clans here. Killing them will have implications."

"That's easy, but, it seems they can't control themselves. Even if they are knocked out, they probably won't stop," Feng Jiu replied. With a flick of her sleeve, she sent out another wave of energy that flipped them over again.

"Thud…"

The sound of bodies crashing into the ground echoed, but it didn't take long for everyone to get back up.
