Captain Pan soon arrived.

“Is that… Madam Mu Xumian?” it took Captain Pan some time to recognize the person in a terrible condition to be Mu Xumian. She looked like she was being nibbled away by some parasite instead of her usual seductive appearance.

“Enough talking, we’re running out of time to save her!” Mu Bai snapped.

“Oh, but is the Sacred Chant really going to work?” Captain Pan asked. He still walked up to Mu Xumian despite being doubtful. He placed his hand on Mu Xumian’s face and murmured the Sacred Chant to cast the spell Purify.

Sacred Chant: Purify was an advanced version of the Basic Light Spell. The spell Brilliant Light had a lot of variations, and one of them was especially effective against undead and corrupted existences. The Sacred Chant further improved its purifying ability. Captain Pan was using the Sacred Chant, which Zhao Manyan had yet to master.

The chant was incomprehensible, similar to the chants which monks uttered during religious ceremonies in the east, or the prayer uttered before graves in the west. Every civilization had its way of putting the dead to rest. Unfortunately, the creatures in this world would not necessarily stay in their graves and behave themselves, and the religious chants and prayers had evolved into the Sacred Chant of the Light Element, designed to put the corrupted spirits that were harboring malicious intentions to the world back to their rest!

The graduate was utterly confused. She did not understand why Mu Xumian would use the Sacred Chant on someone who was still alive. Did he assume Mu Xumian was going to die, and the pain and torture she was going through would make her rise from the dead to get her revenge?

The Sacred Chant was still taking effect. Golden sparkles were visible rising from Mu Xumian’s body. They were coming out of her skin, and turned into some kind of glowing words and notes after being exposed to the air. They continued to float into the air and dissipate slowly.

However, the graduate soon noticed wisps of ghastly aura rising from the glowing notes. She could even see a pair of ghostly eyes when she was staring at them.

“AH!!”

Mu Xumian suddenly sat upright and opened her mouth, as if she was trying to use all her might to spit something out. A darker substance poured out of her mouth like a cloud of thick black smoke and lingered in the room, followed by a burst of strange and piercing laughter.

“This…” Captain Pan was astounded. He finally realized what was going on. He focused on uttering the Sacred Chant, just in case the strange black smoke ended up Possessing him!

Mu Xumian fell onto the bed feebly after spitting out the black smoke. Her eyelids remained open with rolling eyes.

Mu Bai let out a relieved sigh, and told the graduate, “You may use the Healing Magic now.”

“Oh, got it!” The graduate felt like she had just been knocked unconscious by something unknown. She suddenly had no clue what Healing Spell she should use. Mu Bai actually had to remind her that a basic spell that would help Mu Xumian regenerate blood was sufficient.
