Zhao Shouyi frowned at the thought of Xiao Pei, especially the words she had said. Every time he thought about it, he would feel a slight disturbance in his heart, as if there were signs of a mutation.
Suppressing the disturbance in his heart, Zhao Shouyi continued, "Xiao Pei's situation is very suspicious. I think she might have some kind of mutation ability. The Sky Demon itself is already very terrifying. If they can also trigger a mutation, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"After you guys go back, I will investigate Xiao Pei's situation."
Looking at Zhao Shouyi's serious gaze, Zhou Bai knew that it was impossible for him to convince him. He could only sigh helplessly. "Alright."
Then, he could not help but ask, "Headmaster, are you really … going to mutate?"
Zhao Shouyi smiled. "I've done many mental evaluations. My condition has been deteriorating," he said with a confident smile, "If not for my poor condition, that big Sky Demon would not have been able to escape."
Looking at Zhou Bai's and Qian Wangsun's sorrowful gazes, Zhao Shouyi waved his hand and stopped them from saying anything. "Alright, I'll send you back. I know you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, but now that the Sky Demon is acting strangely, without my protection, you're in too much danger."
Next, Zhao Shouyi brought the two of them flying at high speed, heading in the direction of Western Peak City in the dark of the night.
Along the way, Zhao Shouyi, who had been prepared for battle, found that there was not a single Sky Demon on the ground or in the sky.
Just as the three of them were wondering where the Sky Demon had gone, as they flew at high speed, a large cluster of glaring clouds in the distance attracted their attention.
That cluster of clouds connected the heavens and the earth, churning continuously and flashing with various colors of light. Countless densely packed light spots overlapped each other, spreading across the sky and the ground like clouds and mist. It was very unusual in the night sky.
They paced back and forth, spreading out continuously. However, there seemed to be an invisible line binding them, preventing them from crossing over. Once they spread out to their limits, they would shrink back.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the three of them changed. Qian Wangsun said in shock, "This is … this is the Sky Demon? What are they trying to do by gathering so many of them together? "
"No wonder we didn't see any Sky Demon along the way. They're all gathered here?"
Zhou Bai could not help but ask, "Headmaster, you mentioned Xiao Pei's situation earlier. Could it be related to this Sky Demon?"
"I think it's very possible." Zhao Shouyi's expression was solemn, and he did not continue speaking. He only brought Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun to increase their flying speed, drawing a long stream of air in the sky. Soon, they arrived at West Peak City.
After landing, Zhao Shouyi proved his identity to the surrounding cultivators and immediately asked, "Where is Wang Shouxuan? I want to see him at once. "
Turning his head, Zhao Shou said to Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun, "Remember, don't run around, stay in West Peak City." With that, he turned to leave with the other cultivators.
Zhou Bai looked at Zhao Shouyi's back as he left, and he suddenly understood something.
At the same time, Cristina's voice sounded in his mind. "Zhao Shouyi, this guy … I'm afraid he's ready to die? He must have accepted that he's walking towards death and is willing to sacrifice himself on the battlefield. "
Seeing this, Zhou Bai could not help but ask telepathically, "Headmaster, aren't you going to find Xiao Pei?"
Hearing this, Zhao Shouyi's body paused, and a hint of struggle appeared in his eyes.
However, he quickly calmed down and turned to look at Zhou Bai. "How can I leave under such circumstances?
My level-seven cultivation base was nurtured by countless humans and cultivated by Dong Hua Dao School. I can't just walk away from the war against the Heavenly Demons. "
"Although I really want to understand Xiao Pei's current situation, West Peak City needs my level-seven combat power more. I will report Xiao Pei's situation. You should rest well."
Zhou Bai said, "But … if you die on the battlefield, you will never be able to know Xiao Pei's situation. Don't you want to know this before you die?"
Looking at Zhou Bai's gaze, Zhao Shouyi smiled and said, "Zhou Bai, life is not always smooth sailing. Most people can't fulfill their wishes even before they die. I'm already much luckier than most people."
Zhou Bai sighed as he gazed at Zhao Shouyi with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Zhao Shouyi patted him on the shoulder. "Zhou Bai, don't be afraid of sadness. Rising in a spiral amidst pain and sadness is what it means to be human. Countless humans sacrificed themselves and countless comrades passed away to make me who I am today.
Now, it's my turn to do what I have to do. "
With that, Zhao Shouyi turned and left. There was no longer a trace of regret or hesitation on his face.
In his mind, he suddenly recalled the past.
'Grandpa, can you hug me?
'Grandpa, I want to cultivate Dao techniques!
'Grandpa …'
…
On the other side, Zhou Bai was quickly taken away and assigned to the same dormitory as Qian Wangsun. Then, he waited for someone to summon him.
Zhou Bai lay on the bed, his mind full of thoughts. "The war is about to begin. What can I do? And about Xiao Pei, it would be great if I could figure out what's going on. Has the Sky Demon mastered the power of distortion? "
Cristina asked, "Zhou Bai, you're not thinking of leaving the city, are you?"
Zhou Bai said, "I have the black lotus to protect my life and the gem's Time Reversal. In total, I have two lives. If they were used consecutively, Black Lotus would die once, time would flow backwards once, and Black Lotus could die again, giving him three lives.
There's also the Laziness stat to heal and accelerate, the Ugliness Mosaic as a cover, the Calamity Domain's Harvest of Providence, and Time Reversal for a full 40 minutes.
These words might sound arrogant, but in the entire West Peak City, I'm afraid I'm the strongest when it comes to protecting my own life.
I shouldn't hide in West Peak City for this war. "
Cristina said, "But that big Sky Demon might already have his eyes on you. We can't beat him in a head-on battle."
Zhou Bai rubbed his chin and thought, According to my observation, at least two-thirds of that big Sky Demon's body was vaporized by the headmaster. He's not at his peak anymore. I'm afraid he's only at Level Six? As long as I can find some helpers, I should be able to deal with him.
And now that the Sky Demon has gathered together, their rear is empty, right? I can investigate that theme park and Xiao Pei's situation.
Cristina said, "Helpers? Where can I find helpers? Also, Zhao Shouyi has already reported the situation to the higher-ups. They'll send people to investigate. "
Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Qian Wangsun and asked, "The Night Army of Donghua City should have also come to Xiyue City, right?"
