Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 263: Abyss Fire 9

Christina: "Zhou Bai, calm presence before a crisis is key. Don’t panic now. Even if the Heavenly Demon’s plan has begun, it can’t be accomplished in just a few days. In any case, we should at least wait until the cooldown of time reversal ends or until Lin Muqing wakes up before making our next move."

Zhou Bai: "Tina, since when did you become so knowledgeable?"

Christina: "Nonsense, do you think I’m just a cat? I’ve learned a lot, and the higher my cultivation level, the more memory I can recover. I must have been pretty awesome in the past."

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Bai still hadn’t decided to pass the intelligence on to Zheng Wentian. He planned to wait a few more days till either Lin Muqing woke up or the gemstone’s cooldown was over before making a decision.

However, he looked into the practice room and asked, "Qian Wangsun, where’s Zuo Dao? Why hasn’t he been around these past few days?"

Qian Wangsun: "He said he’s going into seclusion to refine something. Oh, let him be. He’ll come back when he gets hungry in a few days."

...

On the sixth day of Jing Xiu assisting in Lin Muqing’s treatment,

inside Zhou Bai’s bedroom, Lin Muqing was seen covered with Primordial Spirit Needles.

Sweat covered Jing Xiu’s forehead as she connected her Primordial Spirit’s power with the Primordial Spirit Needles on Lin Muqing’s body. The needles occasionally trembled lightly, and Jing Xiu’s face grew paler.

Zhou Bai stood by nervously, occasionally wiping sweat from Jing Xiu’s forehead with his Primordial Spirit power.

Suddenly, the Primordial Spirit power within Lin Muqing’s body trembled in unison. Jing Xiu frowned and opened the nearby medicine box. A crystal-like ointment flew out, dissolved by Jing Xiu’s Primordial Spirit power, then followed the flow into the Primordial Spirit Needles, and finally was injected into Lin Muqing’s body.

After all was done, Jing Xiu withdrew the Primordial Spirit Needles and took a deep breath, "Teacher Lin’s sea of consciousness has been sealed by a toxin. I initially intended to draw out this poison, but my cultivation level is too low. After several days of effort, I can only temporarily disperse the toxin into her body and let her Dao Fetus of the fifth realm counteract it."

"She should wake up shortly, but the majority of her strength will be needed to suppress the toxin. Her combat capabilities will likely be severely limited for the time being."

"Thank you, Jing Xiu," Zhou Bai said. "Do you need to rest awhile?"

Jing Xiu shook her head: "I’d like to keep observing Teacher Lin’s condition, and I’m also very concerned about what you mentioned regarding the Heavenly Demon. I’d like to hear what Teacher Lin has to say."

Zhou Bai nodded, and the two waited. About twenty minutes later, Lin Muqing’s eyelashes on the bed twitched, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Zhou Bai: "You’re finally awake?"

Turning her head, Lin Muqing looked at Jing Xiu and Zhou Bai: "Zhou Bai, did you save me?"

Zhou Bai recounted how he had used divination to find Lin Muqing and briefly mentioned the rescue, concealing the role of the ugly disaster.

Of course, he also revealed the identities of those who had searched for Lin Muqing as members of the Heavenly Demon.

After some thought, Zhou Bai simply went ahead and shared the discovery of the Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Demon Creations in the water supply system, curious to see what Lin Muqing would plan to do.

At least he could now be sure that Lin Muqing likely wasn’t on the side of the Heavenly Demons.

During the whole process, he did not conceal anything from Jing Xiu, who listened with wide eyes, her mind a complete mess.

Although Lin Muqing was curious about how Zhou Bai had managed to save her, she also sensed that he did not wish to reveal these details, so she wisely refrained from asking. Especially, information concerning the Heavenly Demons completely captured her attention.

"I was attacked by some type of poison and was taken away after my body became paralyzed. They then tried to interrogate me in my dreams," Lin Muqing said. "I also have to thank you for saving me, Zhou Bai. If it wasn’t for you, no matter how long I could have held on, there would eventually have come a day when I couldn’t have endured any longer."

Zhou Bai asked, "Who took you away? Do you know?"

Lin Muqing’s expression turned ugly as she replied, "People from the Committee, and it’s very likely the Chairman of the Supreme Committee, Wang Xuanhua. He is the only level 9 here in Donghua City. In the absence of other level 9s, he may well be the strongest human here. Of course, the mutated Grand Elder is not included in this."

"If he too is working with the Heavenly Demons, the situation in Donghua City has already reached its most critical point."

Having said that, Lin Muqing stood up. "Such a big incident has occurred, I must report it to the higher-ups, and I have to report about the Heavenly Demons as well."

Zhou Bai looked at Lin Muqing who, despite her weak body, still wanted to go out, and couldn’t help saying, "Zhao Shouyi might have already surrendered to the Heavenly Demons. I saw through divination that it could be his people communicating with the Heavenly Demons.

If Zhao Shouyi and Wang Xuanhua have both surrendered to the Heavenly Demons, then how many in the Night Army have done the same?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Muqing’s face showed a slight change.

Zhou Bai continued, "What if the entire population of Donghua City wants to join the Heavenly Demons? If they all desire eternal life, indestructible bodies, aren’t you standing in the way of humanity by doing what you’re doing now?"

Looking at the silent Lin Muqing, Zhou Bai asked, "Do you have any plans on your side?" He did not mention the Sky Flipping Sect to avoid any misunderstanding from Jing Xiu, who certainly didn’t trust the sect like Zhou Bai did.

Lin Muqing naturally understood Zhou Bai’s concern and shook her head, "I don’t know; I’ve been out of contact with them for several days. They probably don’t even realize how dire the situation in Donghua City has become."

Zhou Bai revealed a hint of disappointment and said with a wry smile, "I’m not interested in joining the Heavenly Demons or being an enemy of the people of Donghua City, and I can’t stop them either. So, what other choice do I have but to leave this place?"

Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Bai and asked, "You want to leave? To leave Donghua City?"

Zhou Bai met Lin Muqing’s gaze and sighed, Christina’s voice echoed in his heart, "Zhou Bai, in these circumstances, we’ve done our best preserving ourselves, rescuing Lin Muqing, and informing the Sky Flipping Sect about the Heavenly Demons."

As Lin Muqing and Zhou Bai were discussing the situation at hand, Jing Xiu, who was listening on the side, felt her scalp tingle with apprehension. But upon hearing Zhou Bai’s conclusion, she boldly said, "Brother Zhou... Teacher Lin..."

Seeing both of them turn their gaze to her, Jing Xiu became somewhat nervous, yet still mustered the courage to say, "What you’re both talking about is very important, with great implications, and not all of it I fully understand. But..."

"But if you say that everyone in the city wants to join the Heavenly Demons..." Jing Xiu paused, then looking into Zhou Bai’s eyes, she said, "It won’t be like that, Donghua City... In this city, not everyone is willing to surrender to the Heavenly Demons."

"I... Maybe I can take you to a place to see for yourselves. I believe that most of the people there would not surrender to the Heavenly Demons."
