"Debating in Daluo Heaven?" Sun Jingping flashed an indifferent smile. He recalled his encounters over the past two days and felt his enthusiasm for the debates in Daluo Heaven rapidly wane, "Compared to that being, the debates are nothing but child's play."
"If you want to go, just go. I can take you there."
Then Sun Jingping asked, "Now, tell what just happened? What did you do to ?" He glanced at his own body and added, "What exactly happened to ?"
The mysterious woman said, "You ca into contact with him."
"Him? Who is he? What on earth is he?" mories of that day's terrifying scene seed to resurface in Sun Jingping's mind, causing his ntal state to deteriorate once again.
The mysterious woman calmly stated, "An entity that is not human. A twisted monstrosity... composed of lies, ignorance, sches, and evil.
"He has planted a twisted seed in your mind, and as ti passes, this seed will gradually take root and sprout, slowly dragging you step by step, ever closer to madness."
Sun Jingping's heart tightened slightly, "Do you have a solution?"
The mysterious woman stroked Sun Jingping's cheek; her abilities could not only trigger the distortion within people's hearts but could also be reversed to soothe it.
As she activated her powers to offer comfort, she said, "I can alleviate the darkness in your heart for now, but to completely remove the twist he left behind, I need more."
Wei Cang silently observed all this. Seeing the look of relief on Sun Jingping's face as he was comforted by the mysterious woman, Wei Cang knew she had succeeded.
This ant they could count on Sun Jingping's support even more now, making their movents much easier.
Yet, Wei Cang couldn't help but ask, "Mysterious woman, why not report Zhou Bai's identity? If Heaven were to know..."
The mysterious woman shook her head; although killing Zhou Bai was her greatest desire, she knew that Heaven was also an enemy.
Once Heaven learned that Zhou Bai was the true perpetrator behind the attack, they would likely act imdiately to apprehend him.
There were two possible outcos to such a capture: one, they succeed and take Zhou Bai to be studied by Heaven, reinforcing Heaven's power and making life even more difficult for aberrants, thus making the future even more dire.
Or two, Zhou Bai escapes.
"If Zhou Bai were to escape, it would an that he is completely unbound, and he... he will beco uncontrollable," the mysterious woman narrowed her eyes slightly.
It has been said that the one who understands a person the best is their enemy.
The mysterious woman had similar sentints. She thought of Zhou Bai's use of various tactics, lies, and deceptions in battle, and his uncompromising, decisive will to kill.
As Zhou Bai's nesis, one of the aberrants endowed with wisdom, and a special life form capable of guiding distortion...
She could faintly sense, beneath Zhou Bai's normal exterior, an unrestrained malignancy, an audacity without inhibition, and an unrestrictive nature.
The mysterious woman thought to herself, 'Zhou Bai, you are fundantally different from normal humans.'
'But now you confine yourself as a human, as a comrade among humans. Friendship, rules, and responsibility bind you.' The mysterious woman sneered inwardly, 'Choosing to protect humans has beco the greatest weakness you've created for yourself, yet under imnse pressure, you are still gradually lifting the restrictions on yourself.'
The mysterious woman could imagine that if Zhou Bai fully unleashed his restraint, abandoned his humanity, and used his twisted abilities without hindrance, the world would soon face a catastrophe.
However, a Zhou Bai still bound as a human was much easier to deal with.
'This Daluo Heaven debate is, in fact, Zhou Bai's weakest mont.' The mysterious woman thought, 'Because on the platform of Daluo Heaven, he would dare not use any twisted powers, let alone the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor.'
In the mysterious woman's view, there were only two possible outcos.
'Killing you on the platform would be a satisfying result.'
'But if on the platform you are forced to reveal your true nature, to expose the twist within you, and then to be condemned by humans and immortals alike, watching you fight against those familiar companions, watching you being forced to kill the humans you are ant to protect...'
The mysterious woman couldn't help but close her eyes, a look of intoxication passing across her face.
"... That would also be a fine outco."
Just then, Wei Cang said, "Soone's coming."
The mysterious woman nodded, "Then we'll leave for now. I'll co back to find you in a few days."
The next mont, the mysterious woman was seen grabbing Wei Cang by the shoulder, and with a flicker, the two disappeared without a trace.
Shortly after, Qiu Xingze and Yan Shan caught up and blocked Sun Jingping's path, one in front and one behind.
Qiu Xingze looked at Sun Jingping, recalling the details of the victims of this incident in his mind.
Aside from this alley, the experts of the Evil Sect in another courtyard had also been affected by the distortion phenonon.
He addressed Sun Jingping, "Sun Jingping? Were you also a victim of this incident? Why are you here late at night?"
Yan Shan interjected, "We are investigators from the Plague Departnt, tasked with investigating this incident. We were planning to find you tomorrow, but since we've run into you, let's talk now."
"The Plague Departnt?" Sun Jingping's eyes narrowed slightly, but he remained silent.
Qiu Xingze and Yan Shan exchanged glances, then stood out and said, "If you won't speak, then I'll start. The one who attacked you this ti is nad Gu Letian..."
While the investigation continued in Nanshan City, Zhou Bai was in Donghua City arranging his upcoming cultivation plan.
"My forthcoming path of cultivation mainly includes these goals."
"First, it's about integrating the Way and the primal Daoist Scriptures. I need to complete primal Daoist Scripture 05, break through 50% of the Way integration, reach the fifth realm, and unlock the next divine chart."
"Then, I have to complete the cultivation of the next divine chart."
"Additionally, I need to re-forge a flying sword, and restore the sword weapon and the techniques of Tianhe Star Explosion."
"Finally, I need to study the cultivation thods and the principles involving star points."
Zhou Bai looked at the goals he had written down on paper, his brows slightly knit together.
"To achieve these goals quickly, what I need most are values of laziness and face pressure."
"As for laziness value..." Zhou Bai wrote down the words 'garbage sorting': "Beneficial to the country and its people, and I'll also make a tidy profit—it should be enough as nourishnt for my next divine chart."
"In the case of face pressure, that will depend on Nasha." Zhou Bai turned to look next door and said, "Nasha's face pressure and the forr Little Pei are on the sa level, if she can stay with during my cultivation, then my progress will greatly speed up."
"But it seems she doesn't like cultivating with others."
"If it really doesn't work out, I just have to find a way to have a heart-to-heart with her, and move her with my sincerity."
Christina, hearing this, said, "If Nasha refuses to cultivate with you, you can cultivate with the cat instead. Zhou Bai, a man and a woman cultivating together, trouble is bound to arise sooner or later, and it's easy to be the subject of gossip."
Zhou Bai glanced at Christina's face pressure and shook his head, "The cat's face pressure isn't enough. Only Nasha's is sufficient. And..."
Zhou Bai declared righteously, "I am a cultivation machine devoid of emotion. Won and gossip are like passing clouds to ."
"No, at a ti of national crisis, when the human race is facing an unprecedented threat, I need stronger power."
"Every single minute and second, I want to seize the ti to cultivate. I can't wait any longer!" Zhou Bai suddenly stood up, "I'm going to find Nasha now and cultivate together."
Christina, angry, said, "If one cat isn't enough, you can get several more. Keeping a house full of cats to cultivate with would be much more convenient than finding Nasha."
