The Purification Team from the Silence Bookstore began their operation.

Those strange creatures kept falling under the Purification Spirit Technique of the team. These techniques did not harm normal humans at all, but to these monsters, they were deadly.

Large swaths of monsters were purified.

However.

In terms of the total number of monsters in the city, it was still a drop in the bucket.

At this point.

The group of Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators began to explore freely since the city was still vast and had many strange areas.

Baiyu was no exception.

What he most wanted to know now was the whereabouts of the "Doctor," so after leaving the team from the Silence Bookstore, Baiyu headed directly toward the hospital in the city.

That was where the Doctor was likely to be.

The hospital in Black Forest Island's city was not small, formed by several tall buildings, but, like other places, there were also many monsters here.

Baiyu stepped into the hospital. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Inside, a deathly silence filled the air, and a pale white mist hung around, accompanied by various strange roars within the hospital.

After Baiyu entered the hospital.

Inside was so chaotic that it was impossible to gather any useful information.

Bodies lay crisscrossed, along with various equipment, blocking many paths.

Just when he was about to further explore.

Dong...

A melodious clock chime suddenly sounded from below his feet.

To be precise, it was not from below his feet, but from the entrance to the Spirit Realm located beneath the city center.

Baiyu was very familiar with this chime.

Previously, when he and Xiao Qing entered the Spirit Realm and came to that castle, which was originally human but later occupied by Deep Divers, this chime was heard inside the castle.

Before, Baiyu did not understand what the chime meant.

But at this moment.

As he stood within this city and the chime sounded, he finally understood what changes would occur.

It went dark!

The sky, which was originally cloudless, suddenly darkened.

All light quickly disappeared.

In just a few breaths, the city plunged into an environment even darker than the blackest night.

Saying you couldn't see your hand before your face was no exaggeration at all.

Moreover, this darkness was not merely black; it contained a faint black fog that even Baiyu, a Flawless Moon level cultivator, couldn't see through his surroundings.

However, at this moment.

Those monsters crawling in the hospital seemed to be stimulated by something, their eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and they all rushed toward Baiyu.

Previously, as long as these monsters were not provoked, their desire to attack was not high.

But now.

It seemed they would indiscriminately attack any living being around them. Baiyu even saw several monsters fighting each other, devouring one another, until the victorious monster devoured the bodies of the others and became even more ferocious.

"Damn, what a hellish place," Baiyu couldn't help but curse harshly, raising a whirlwind of Power of Destruction that instantly shredded these monsters.

He walked out of the hospital.

The whole city was engulfed in darkness, with the black fog filling the air not only blocking vision but also hindering the exploration of spirituality.

This meant.

In this city, Baiyu, an Eclipse Moon Realm powerhouse, found his senses suppressed to the level of an ordinary person.

On the streets.

Those monsters seemed to have entered some kind of frenzy.

They crawled continuously in the dark, searching for prey in the city, and when there was no prey, they hunted each other, devouring one another to strengthen themselves.

Baiyu dealt with dozens of monsters in succession, feeling something was wrong.

Previously, this city housed about 100,000 people, but now, excluding the Silence Bookstore's hunting team, there were over twenty Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators in the city.

Even if Spiritual Sense were obstructed, it would not be completely silent.

By all accounts.

There should have been Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators encountering each other by now or launching some significant, noticeable attack from above the city.

Unfortunately, there was none.

Unless... once the chime sounded and darkness descended, even flying and launching large-scale attacks were prohibited.

Baiyu took a deep breath, pressing down hard with his feet, causing the ground beneath him to crack.

The tremendous recoil almost made Baiyu lift off the ground, but the layers of resistance from the black fog in the air instantly pressed the airborne Baiyu back down.

As expected.

Unable to fly.

Baiyu once again mobilized the Power of Destruction, his fists shaking as a massive shockwave erupted forward.

This shockwave, formed of Power of Destruction, quickly dissipated after flying about ten meters.

The black fog severely hindered the release of power.

To achieve this, the opponent was at least a Sun Realm powerhouse, making Baiyu more inclined to believe a Divine Spirit had intervened.

The Deep Divers were Mirage King's followers.

And the Mirage King.

Was an old Evil God who last collaborated with the Green Mother to stir upheaval in the Great City, only to be quickly suppressed by the Attendants.

Hence, the Mirage King and Green Mother cooperating again was not impossible.

This black fog.

Was probably the Mirage King's handiwork.

Baiyu took a deep breath and continued forward. Most of the monsters were slaughtering each other. After Baiyu arrived, they turned their spears around and all attacked Baiyu.

Along the way.

Baiyu killed many monsters.

Finally, beside an abandoned building, he spotted another Eclipse Moon Realm cultivator, none other than the strongman Zhao Meng, who had previously fought Loki from the Silence Bookstore.

The patterns of power on his body left a deep impression on Baiyu.

However, at the moment, he seemed to be in some trouble.

On his arms, tattoos of a tiger-shaped beast and a fish-shaped beast glowed, and the shadows of these two beasts circled him, attacking madly at a tall, scythe-wielding black-robed figure in front.

But judging by the situation.

The Scythe figure had already slain several of Zhao Meng's tattooed beasts, forcing him into a retreat without any recourse.

Nonetheless, Zhao Meng was an Eclipse Moon Realm cultivator.

Even if he didn't seem very strong, at least he wasn't injured yet, just in a disadvantaged position.

"Brother, this monster appeared after that eerie chime sounded. Help quickly, and let's deal with it together,"

Zhao Meng also spotted Baiyu and urgently called for assistance.

Though he was not familiar with Baiyu, his Eclipse Moon Realm memory reminded him that Baiyu was also a member of the Silence Bookstore team.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Baiyu looked at the scythe wielder.

The figure was dressed entirely in black, their face a mass of eerie darkness, and their hands were dry, elongated skeletal claws, standing at least three meters tall.

From afar, it looked like a bamboo stick wielding a massive black scythe, relentlessly chopping at Zhao Meng, each strike wild and forceful, leaving deep furrows in the ground.
