Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 360 - 359 Infiltration
That night, Zhou Bai sat up from his bed, planning to leave the dormitory and head to the place he had agreed to meet Lin Muqing and others.
Christina rolled over in Zhou Bai's consciousness, looking worried, "Zhou Bai! Why do you want to take risks by going out?"
"I don't want to go out!"
"I just want to hide here!"
"I just want to lay low until I reach the max level before coming out of hiding!"
Zhou Bai smirked and said to Christina in his consciousness, "Come on, Tina, if worse comes to worst, we can just reverse time by 40 minutes. With our speed, we could travel hundreds of kilometers in forty minutes. Could the Heavenly Demon possibly ambush us forty minutes early?"
Zhou Bai, "Also, reaching max level is useless if humanity is gone."
Christina continued to flip over, her face sullen.
Just as Zhou Bai was about to leave the room, Qian Wangsun from the other bed spoke up, "Zhou Bai, where are you going?"
Zhou Bai frowned, sensing a thin layer of Primordial Spirit clinging to the door frame, obviously left by Qian Wangsun.
"Can't sleep, just going out for a stroll," he resignedly said.
"Big shot, do you know that you even look uglier when you lie?" Qian Wangsun's Primordial Spirit touched Zhou Bai's body, "You should know that I can tell when you're lying, and you seem a bit panicked... You're not planning to leave the city, are you?"
Zhou Bai sighed, "I'm just going to check out the situation. Can you keep it a secret?"
Qian Wangsun did not speak but kept sensing Zhou Bai's condition with his Primordial Spirit until Zhou Bai repelled it, then he said, "Zhou Bai, you're not planning to investigate little Pei on your own, are you?"
Zhou Bai, "How is that possible, don't guess wildly."
Qian Wangsun looked at Zhou Bai skeptically, "Then take me with you. My abilities should be useful to you."
As Zhou Bai was about to leave, he heard Qian Wangsun continue, "If you don't take me, I will shout and say you wanted to burst my chrysanthemum."
Zhou Bai, "..."
Christina immediately got up in the consciousness, "I think you better not go, Zhou Bai, your reputation is already bad enough, and if you add bursting someone else's chrysanthemum, that would really make it impossible to mingle anymore, better just stay in West Mountain City and cultivate."
Zhou Bai sighed, but after considering Qian Wangsun's investigative abilities, his overly sensitive intuition, and his ability to predict five seconds ahead, he finally nodded, "Okay, okay, come with me."
Arriving at the agreed location, Lin Muqing and two others were already waiting there, a man and a woman, both wearing masks that obscured their original appearances.
Lin Muqing introduced, "This is Snow Leopard, a cultivator of the sixth realm of Dao School."
The man nodded at Zhou Bai.
Lin Muqing introduced the woman, "This is Qing Cao, a cultivator of the sixth realm of Sky Flipping Sect. She's skilled in medicine, mainly healing our injuries. She's also knowledgeable about anomalies, which should be very helpful for this investigation."
Zhou Bai looked at them both, thinking internally, 'All code names, right? Sixth realm powerful ones? They probably hold non-trivial positions in the Four Great Taoist Schools. No wonder they don't want to reveal their identities.'
Lin Muqing pointed at Zhou Bai and introduced, "This is our companion for this mission..."
"Daniel Wu. You can just call me A-Zu." Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'Everyone is so professional, I should be professional too, can't use my real name.'
"Ah Zu is at the third realm of Sword Diagram, but his combat ability exceeds that level, comparable to the fifth realm." Lin Muqing was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized Zhou Bai didn't wish to reveal his true name, so she turned towards Qian Wangsun, "Then this person..."
Qian Wangsun replied with understanding, "I am called Zuo Dao, just call me Ah Zuo. I'm at the second realm of Bow Diagram, and my intuition is quite good."
Lin Muqing looked helplessly at Zhou Bai, "Qian... Zuo Dao, why did you bring Zuo Dao with you?"
Zhou Bai said, "He can be of help. Let's take him along."
The snow leopard coldly spoke, "A third-realm Sword Diagram is already a big enough burden, and now you're bringing a second-realm Bow Diagram? Do you think this is child's play? We are headed to the Heavenly Demon Battlefield."
Zhou Bai glanced at him, and his sword slightly vibrated, sending a fierce gravitational force towards him.
However, the snow leopard's expression changed as he felt as if a mountain had pressed down upon him. He mustered his Primordial Spirit, and his muscles and bones swelled, managing to withstand the strike of the Tianhe Star Explosion sword.
But Zhou Bai's Tianhe Star Explosion sword retracted as soon as it had struck, not pressing further.

Zhou Bai reassured, "Don't worry, my strength is definitely not a burden. As for Qian... as for Zuo Dao, his intuition is very sharp, and he's quite familiar with the terrain around our target area. He can help us."
The snow leopard nodded, impressed by Zhou Bai's capability, "Then I have no issues."
Thus, the group of five made their way out of West Mountain City via the underground drainage prepared by the Sky Flipping Sect and rapidly headed towards the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area.
Zhou Bai glanced at the four people surrounding him and thought to himself, 'I brought you all out here, and I'll surely bring everyone back.'
Since all the Heavenly Demons were gathered inside, the group encountered almost no resistance en route.
Finally, in the dead of night, Zhou Bai and his companions arrived at the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area.
Gazing at the moonlit, mysterious village in the distance, Zhou Bai said, "Let's go. We're going in."
Qian Wangsun glanced at the village, which contrasted starkly with its daytime appearance, empty and devoid of life during the night, and felt a throbbing pain in his brow.
With his Divine Light Eyes activated, his irises shifted rapidly, viewing the distant village emanating a sinister aura.
The dense spiritual essence intertwined, emitting a glaring blood light and intense darkness.
Suddenly, Qian Wangsun thought he saw a figure standing at a window in the center of the village, seemingly looking right at him.
"Is that…" His eyes narrowed, and as his Divine Light Eyes contracted, he clearly saw the appearance of the person.
It was Qian Wangsun himself, with blood-weeping eyes and a pale face, wearing a wild smile. His eyes looked like hollow voids, continuously bleeding.
But Qian Wangsun felt as though those eyes were staring right at him, sending chills down his spine.
Qian Wangsun felt his heartbeat quicken, and though his body wanted to move, it felt somehow stiff.
The snow leopard noticed his unusual behavior and turned to ask, "Zuo Dao, what's wrong?"
Qian Wangsun blinked, and the bizarre figure had already disappeared; the central part of the village was now completely empty.
Qian Wangsun wondered, "Did I see it wrong? Is my misperception getting worse?"
He shook his head, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, "This place gives me a very bad feeling. The spiritual essence is concentrated to an abnormal level, possibly with distortion phenomena. Let's be extra cautious."
The next moment, the five of them sprinted, moving toward the village like wisps of smoke.
