In front of the desk, Qing Yangzi looked at Zhao Shouyi and said, "Headmaster Zhao, you're here."
Zhao Shouyi frowned. "Where's Wang Shouxuan?"
Qing Yangzi: "Right now, the command of the entire Northwest War Zone is in my hands. Headmaster Zhao, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Zhao Shouyi thought for a moment, then told Zhao Shouyi about what had happened to him. However, he omitted the part about Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun, only saying that he had gone deep into the enemy's rear to investigate.
"Xiao Pei's situation is very suspicious. I suspect that the Sky Demon is trying to grasp the ability to transform. We must immediately send someone to investigate …"
Qing Yangzi frowned. "We can't start a conflict with the Sky Demon just because of your feeling."
Zhao Shouyi stared at Qing Yangzi. "Even if they're already waiting in front of our door?"
"Even if that's the case." Qing Yangzi said, "As long as there's a chance, I will do my best to avoid this war."
Qing Yangzi: "We won't be able to fight the Sky Demon on our own, even if we seize the initiative. So, even if we have to make great sacrifices and make great concessions, I must avoid this war. Humanity needs to recuperate and accumulate strength. We also need to borrow the power of the Celestial Court so that Central City can send more immortals and gods to participate. We can start a war, but not now. "
Zhao Shouyi's gaze wavered as he listened to Qing Yangzi's explanation, but he said nothing.
Qing Yangzi looked at Zhao Shouyi and said, "Headmaster Zhao, you're not thinking of going deep into the enemy's rear alone, are you?"
Zhao Shouyi gave Qing Yangzi a deep look. "I hope you really are doing this for humanity."
"Of course. I know what many people are saying about me, but I have a clear conscience. " Qing Yangzi: "West Peak City is like a barrel of gunpowder right now. As the representative of the Three Clear Daoist Sect, your every move has great influence. I hope you can cooperate with me. I know that she's your granddaughter, after all. "
Zhao Shouyi: "Don't worry." He closed his eyes and sighed softly. "I don't agree with your point of view, but since you're the commander-in-chief, I won't lead anyone to oppose you."
… …
Inside the temporary office, there was a hubbub of voices and people everywhere.
Due to the Sky Demon's sudden actions, a large number of cultivators were transferred to West Peak City. The sudden increase in population also created a burden for West Peak City. All the rooms and offices had to be squeezed together.
At this moment, at the corner of an office desk, Lin Muqing was burning the midnight oil to read a map of the vicinity of West Peak City, and even a map of the entire northwest battlefield, firmly imprinting them into her mind.
There were a few others who were also using their desks. They were all organizing their own documents and preparing for the possible war.
"If we really fight and there are no immortals or gods to help us, we need to consider the worst case scenario … the possibility of West Peak City being breached." Lin Muqing frowned slightly. "I wonder what the sect master has planned."
At this moment, someone came to Lin Muqing's side. "Little Lin, someone is looking for you outside."
"Someone's looking for me?" Lin Muqing walked out of the office building and saw Yanzu Wu standing outside. When he saw her, he immediately waved.
"Who are you?" Lin Muqing stared at the excessively handsome face and asked in confusion, "Do we know each other?"
"I'm Zhou Bai. Don't you recognize me?" Zhou Bai touched his face. "It's no wonder. After all, I've developed recently. I look a little different from before."
"Develop my ass." Lin Muqing glared at him and couldn't help but shout in her heart, "Did you f * cking change your head?"
Seeing that the other party was still suspicious, Zhou Bai didn't dare to joke anymore. He said seriously, "Do you want to use the notebook to test me?"
Lin Muqing's gaze changed slightly. When she heard this, she was already half convinced. However, to be safe, she still let Zhou Bai use the notebook to test him. With the notebook's divination, she could confirm whether he was telling the truth or not.
Zhou Bai also took the opportunity to charge the notebook so that Lin Muqing wouldn't have to use it in the future.
After confirming Zhou Bai's identity, Lin Muqing let out a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at Zhou Bai. "How did you become like this?"
"The school gave me the Hundred Transformation Mask to hide my identity and come to the frontlines to train." Zhou Bai said, "Let's not talk about that. I have something I want to ask. Can you help me ask around?"
"What is it?"
"Headmaster Zhao is …" After Zhou Bai said his story, he asked, "Can you help me find out who the higher-ups sent to investigate Xiao Pei's situation?"
"Xiao Pei might have the ability to cause mutations?" Lin Muqing's expression became serious. "I understand, but this is a secret. I might need to use an informant from the higher-ups in the church. You'll probably have to wait a day or two."
"No problem."
One day later, Zhou Bai and Lin Muqing met again at the appointed place.
Zhou Bai asked, "How is it?"
Lin Muqing shook her head. "Headmaster Zhao should have reported the matter, but the current commander-in-chief, Qing Yangzi, suppressed it. He has already ordered the entire city to be sealed off. People can only enter, but not leave."
"What?" Zhou Bai was shocked. "What does he mean? There are so many Sky Demon outside, and he just watched them gather? "
Lin Muqing sighed. "Qing Yangzi is the representative of the conservative faction. He has always opposed starting a war with the Sky Demon and hopes to borrow the power of the Celestial Court to deal with the Sky Demon. I'm afraid that before the Sky Demon retreats, he won't send anyone to investigate Xiao Pei's situation."
"Then do you think that Xiao Pei has much to do with the mutation of the Sky Demon?" Zhou Bai asked.
Lin Muqing nodded. "According to the information the Sky Flipping Sect has, the Sky Demon is intentionally capturing humans. This is something they have never done in the past. Combined with your information, we suspect that they are conducting some kind of experiment related to mutations. This is also very likely the reason for the Sky Demon's strange behavior.
Oh right, I'm afraid your teammates have also been captured by them. "
Zhou Bai said, "Teammates? Qin Tian, Song Zhen, and the others were also captured? Didn't they run away? "
Lin Muqing said, "They were intercepted by the other Sky Demon on the way. The Sky Demon mainly captured cultivators. Sigh … I hope they aren't used as experimental materials for mutations. "
Zhou Bai thought for a while. His eyes showed determination. "I want to leave the city. You should have a way, right?"
Lin Muqing looked at Zhou Bai in surprise. "What are you going to do? Don't tell me you want to investigate Xiao Pei's situation yourself? It's too dangerous. "
"It's fine. Can you help me arrange it? It's best if you can find me a few reliable helpers."
Lin Muqing still shook her head. "No, Zhou Bai. You're very important now. I can't let you take risks."
"Trust me." Zhou Bai looked at Lin Muqing. "I have a way to protect myself." He thought to himself, 'Only by bringing me along, with my abilities, can we maximize the success of the investigation and ensure everyone's safety.'
Zhou Bai thought to himself, Also, I can harvest providence through the Calamity Domain to aid my cultivation. If my primordial spirit can reach the upper limit of the Warlock Saint Relic of 7,999 points, I'll be equivalent to half a seventh realm expert.
Lin Muqing hesitated slightly. She still did not want to agree to Zhou Bai's request.
Zhou Bai took out the necklace divination and said, "This divination can see the past. If you want to investigate Xiao Pei's situation, it should be of great help, right?
Also, I don't know if you've asked Principal Zhao about Xiao Pei's exact location and the location of the Sky Demon's forbidden zone. If not, you'll need me to lead you to it, right? "
"Zhou Bai! It's really dangerous. "Lin Muqing looked at him and said," Why must you go there?! "
Zhou Bai sighed and thought to himself, My time reversal and the various abilities of the Nine Disasters of Heaven and Human will allow me to escape unscathed even if I don't understand the situation. Also, Principal Zhao …
Zhou Bai thought of Zhao Shouyi's lonely back view and thought to himself, Principal Zhao is right. Xiao Pei might be the key to triggering the Sky Demon's abnormal movement.
Zhou Bai looked at Lin Muqing and replied, "I have the ability to do this, and I also have the opportunity to do so. If we can investigate Xiao Pei's current situation, we might be able to stop this war. Isn't this worth a gamble? "
Lin Muqing shook her head. "But it might also cause a full-scale war. It's too dangerous."
At this moment, a voice came from behind Lin Muqing. "Agree to him, Muqing. Rather than quietly waiting for the Sky Demon to make a choice, why not make the first move and take the initiative? "
Zhou Bai suddenly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a small bird flying onto Lin Muqing's shoulder. A man's voice came from the bird. "Zhou Bai, right? I'm an Enlightened One from the Sky Defying Sect. You can call me 'Samadhi'. I already understand what you said. Based on the situation on our side, I feel that there is indeed a need to investigate Xiao Pei's current situation. It's very likely because of her that caused the Sky Demon's abnormal movement. "
Samadhi continued. "The Sky Demon hasn't started a full-scale war with humans for a long time. This means that they don't think it's necessary. And there must be a reason for suddenly starting a war. If we can solve this cause, we might be able to stop this war. It's better than staying in West Peak City and quietly waiting for the Sky Demon's own changes, leaving the choice to the opponent. "
Zhou Bai asked, "What is an Enlightened One?"
Lin Muqing explained, "It's a term of address within the Sky Defying Sect. It represents the people who know the sect leader's final plan. They can order everyone in the Sky Defying Sect when the sect leader isn't around. "
Zhou Bai said, "Then send someone to go with me. I do need help. "
Samadhi said, "Sure."
Lin Muqing hurriedly said, "But what if something happens to Zhou Bai?"
Samadhi said, "Birds that stay in their nests will never learn to fly. And believe in our companions. They will protect Zhou Bai. "
