Ming Yue laughed softly, feeling that on one hand Zhou Bai might be underestimating his opponents and acting somewhat arrogant, yet on the other hand, her future husband should indeed be this immensely elegant and audacious. Ming Yue: "You intend to keep those two mortals?" Zhou Bai: "If they return to the Fighting Division now, they might be immediately retaliated against. Since I saved them, allowing them to be retaliated against so soon would surely affect our reputation, wouldn't it?" Just two mortals, it didn't matter much to Ming Yue. Casually, she said: "If you want to keep them, keep them. But they can only stay in their rooms, at least for the next three months, I don't want them wandering around the manor." Zhou Bai asked: "Is the army-breaking true lord from the Fighting Division formidable?" Ming Yue thought for a moment and said: "He's alright, about the same as the Greedy Wolf True Lord and Yan True Lord you beat last time. Among the Four Armies' Minor Gods, he's at the bottom, but he's been cultivating in the heavenly court, his cultivation might have recovered better than Yan True Lord and the others.' A few hours later at the Fighting Division, outside the true lord's palace, Xiao Dong lay on the ground, face covered in blood, lamenting miserably over his experiences at the Seven Stars Tower, vividly describing Zhou Bai's tyranny. After kneeling for more than an hour, the voice from the army-breaking true lord gradually echoed, reaching only his ears. "I sent you to drive away Dao School's cultivators. Did I ask you to set houses on fire?" Xiao Dong's body stiffened, sweat pouring down like rain. Just as he was about to explain, he heard the army-breaking true lord say: "I sent you to have Central City's cultivators compete with Dao School's. Did I ask you to line your own pockets, to rob other students' belongings?" Xiao Dong immediately prostrated himself, trembling, saying: "Disciple deserves death!" He secretly thought that the army-breaking true lord must have unknowingly investigated everything while he was complaining. Xiao Dong's heart whispered: 'Then the identity of that Ming Ri, the true lord must have already investigated it completely.' "You do have a death sentence, but if you die now, would it not seem that I'm afraid of Ming Yue? The Artifact Refining Institute was forcefully breached, Ming Yue must provide an explanation." The voice of the army-breaking true lord came slowly: "Tomorrow, come with me to Wanxian Island." Within Donghua City, Zhou Bai pressed on Xuan Nu's shoulder, the latter turning to look at Zhou Bai with a strange expression. Xuan Nu: "What's wrong Zhou Bai? Do you need something?" Zhou Bai: "Nothing, just wanted to see how you'd react." Xuan Nu smiled and directly reached out to embrace Zhou Bai: "How about this reaction?" Zhou Bai gently caressed Xuan Nu's long hair, smiling: "Not bad." "You scoundrel." Christina said: "Don't say anymore! I'm going to vomit." Zhou Bai looked at the cyan fate slowly returning atop Xuan Nu's head and then at the other four cyan fates in his sea of consciousness, pondering how to allocate them. The four cyan fates were all taken from Greedy Wolf True Lord and Yan True Lord, yet Zhou Bai had held them in reserve, still undecided on which star points to apply them to. At this moment, a knock sounded from downstairs, Zhou Bai showed a strange face: "Who has found this place?" Xuan Nu went downstairs to open the door, while Zhou Bai stood listening above. After a while, Xuan Nu walked up, holding a small booklet, exclaiming: "It's probably from the Sky Flipping Sect. They saw people living in this building, so they came and invited us to some kind of ceremony." Zhou Bai took the booklet. Although it didn't mention Sky Flipping Sect, it contained various human potential, triumph over heaven, the fragrance of the outdoor air, and other such contents, just shy of outright activating the demon bloodline. "The Sky Flipping Sect is being cracked down on heavily, they must be using a new guise to promote the Heavenly Demon Ten Techniques." Zhou Bai's expression turned solemn: "I didn't expect their actions to be this swift, they've even targeted us here." Xuan Nu quietly watched Zhou Bai, saying nothing, just waiting for Zhou Bai's decision. Zhou Bai: "I can't let the Sky Flipping Sect continue , at least not here in Donghua City. I need to stop them from activating demon bloodlines." Christina: "So, what's your plan? The power of the demon bloodline is indeed something many humans need now; it enhances combat strength, can counter deformations, improves survival outdoors, and coupled with the projection of the battle at the Heavenly Arena, the impact is enormous. Simply stopping them with violence definitely won't work." Zhou Bai said: "Then, give them an alternative." A halo of gray flickered in Zhou Bai's eyes: "Didn't Li Xiuzhu say I wanted to become a god? Then I will try being a god." At that moment, another shadow entered, Zhou Bai saw the figure and directly tossed a necklace over. Deformed Shadow took the divination necklace, capable of showing past and future, from the main body and hurried back to the Heavenly Demon base. He arrived in front of Em and another girl, pointed at the necklace and said: "This divination can reveal the historical past and future possibilities of many places, it's essentially a media for ordinary people to access void information." "So, I propose, if you want to study void information, this is a reliable method." The girl beside Em appeared entirely silver, thoroughly metallic in texture, ordinary in appearance but made Em comply obediently without question. Zhou Bai suspected she might be the Heavenly Demon Queen Bo Xun, yet she never mentioned who she was, only coming here with Em for void research. The mechanical girl said: "I understand you are wary of our instruments, wanting to use divination as a medium to access the void, as long as the divination genuinely works, I have no objection." Zhou Bai: "Then when shall we begin?" With a wave of the mechanical girl's hand, the room around instantly transformed, the ceiling, floor, walls all flipped, stretched, and twisted, exposing instruments, panels, and display screens. Simultaneously, a platform emerged, revealing a music box-like object, precisely the 20th hexagram in the Heavenly Demon's hand. "This is the 20th hexagram." The mechanical girl said: "Observe the hexagram's past, I wish to know if it can be seen how the hexagram was created, who created it, how they invoked the power and information of the void." On Wanxian Island, while Ming Yue was cultivating, Zhou Bai secretly entered Zuo Dao's room, his Primordial Spirit gently stirring, knocking the latter out, then infiltrating the room and grabbing the fragments of Four Seas Gossip. He did not plan to recognize Zuo Dao for now, opting to first review the contents of the fragmented pages of Four Seas Gossip, saving questions for later to ask Zuo Dao, such as how he knew about Four Seas Gossip, and why he tore it out. Zhou Bai removed the seal on the fragments and carefully began studying the content above. Google seaʀᴄh novelꞁire.net
