Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 398 - 397 do me a favor please
Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit, under the bolstering of the moment of Guìhài Black Sha, entered a state akin to a lying mountain, wrapping the flying sword with such a state demonstrated Zhou Bai's formidable defensive power.
With each of the eight monks exerting their full strength, Zhou Bai remained unscathed in his mountain-like state, directly subduing them.
They then saw that the black sword chopped down inch by inch, halting abruptly just at the tip of the wolf-headed monk's nose.
Zhou Bai's voice reached the ears of the few present, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"
The wolf-headed monk and the others exchanged glances, their surprise at the flying sword evident, for they had not expected it to possess not only an Artifact Spirit but also to appear quite intelligent, unlike others that were confused and only capable of simple combat.
At the same time, the remaining Heavenly Demons roared in attack, various guns aimed at the location of the monks, firing in unison, and a metal storm completely engulfed the group, forcing them to deploy their Primordial Spirit power for full defense.
"What a nuisance," Zhou Bai frowned, "Stay here, don't run. You won't be able to escape, even if you try."
The next moment, the black sword was seen flashing continuously, attracting a great swath of Heavenly Demons towards the gravitational pull of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword, compressing them into clumps of scrap metal in the blink of an eye, which Zhou Bai then promptly sold off.
'The Tianhe Star Explosion Sword is indeed a good method for clearing low-level foes, even more efficient when combined with selling off Heavenly Demons.'
Meanwhile, the wolf-headed monk and the others were assessing the destructive power of the flying sword.
"The force that crushed so many first and second-level Heavenly Demons into scrap metal in an instant is almost on par with the power of a sixth-realm Primordial Spirit."
"It doesn't seem to be Primordial Spirit power..." they thought to themselves, remembering how the combined attack of the eight had been ineffective against their foe, and sighed inwardly, "This definitely wasn't his full strength."
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Bai swept back and forth a few times, disposing of the batch of Heavenly Demons before returning to the wolf-headed monk and the others, pressing them, "Speak, who are you? Why have you come here? Why are you attacking me?"
After exchanging glances and silently communicating, the group figured that they couldn't win against the powerful flying sword and probably couldn't run away either. Fortunately, it seemed to possess high spiritual intelligence, so they decided to try to negotiate.
The wolf-headed monk then said, "We are monks from the Heavenly Court's Plague Department. This time we headed to the northwestern battle zone to retrieve some documents left behind in areas occupied by the Heavenly Demons."
While speaking, he gave a wry smile, "However, we accidentally encountered you, Senior, and greed overtook us, making us wish to subdue a Nine Realms Flying Sword. Please, Senior, on account of the Plague Department, forgive us for our actions."
"Nine Realms Flying Sword?" Zhou Bai blinked, and the next moment he reacted, "Humph, with your meager abilities, you wish to subdue my Tianhe Star Explosion Sword? Truly overestimating yourselves."
'The Tianhe Star Explosion Sword? Is that the name of this Nine Realms Flying Sword? What a domineering and arrogant name. The monk who forged this sword was incredibly ambitious, and yet he died, leaving only this sword behind.' The wolf-headed monk's gaze flickered briefly, 'But perhaps my luck has turned.'
Watching the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword closely, the wolf-headed monk's eyes began to move subtly, as if countless thoughts were swirling in his mind.
Zhou Bai, however, aimed to extract information from them, continuing his inquiry, "What does the Plague Department do? And what kind of documents are you searching for?"
The wolf-headed monk replied respectfully, "The Heavenly Court's Plague Department is dedicated to researching distortions in the Heavenly Dao. The several gods within often need to collect distorted magical treasures, celestial records, Daoist arts, and martial techniques in order to study the changes in the distortions of the Heavenly Dao."
It was by chance that we heard about the whereabouts of some research material, which is why we were dispatched to look for it. It's said that Heavenly Dao established a distortion laboratory there 50 years ago, and now we want to find their experimental records from that time."
'So that's the case.' Hearing the introduction, Zhou Bai suddenly became interested in this research material, especially since it was related to the distortion of Heavenly Dao and was even data specifically requested by the divine scriptures of Heaven.
On the other side, the wolf-headed figure tentatively said, "Senior, this matter relates to Heaven's research into the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, and it has an accelerating effect on the current abnormalities of humanity, the practice of immortality, and even the emergence of Daoist Scripture 100. I wonder if you could help us with the search?"
Zhou Bai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know where that place is?"
The wolf-headed figure was delighted to hear this and quickly took out a map, pointing to a red dot and saying, "The laboratory is located within this canyon, about 500 to 600 kilometers from our current position. Our main concern is encountering Heavenly Demons that might block us on the way there and back, resulting in the loss of the data, which would be a significant loss for both humanity and Heaven. But if you, senior, could make a move, we could surely succeed."
Zhou Bai thought for a moment and then asked, "Aside from you, is there anyone else looking for that data?"
The wolf-headed figure said, "Worried about failure, the top had dispatched four teams in total."
Zhou Bai said, "Hmm... let me see what you look like first." Having said that, ignoring the confusion of the others, Zhou Bai directly activated his facial detection spell and looked at the people in front of him.
'Tube light... flashlight... night light?' Zhou Bai said, "Well, I can help you, but you also have to help me with something."
The wolf-headed figure immediately nodded and said, "What do you need our help with, senior?"
"Heh, it's very simple, no need to be nervous," Zhou Bai said with a chuckle. "First, turn around, back towards me, and I will leave a protective rune on your back."
"Be careful, this is a distortion rune. You must never look at it yourselves, or you risk falling into madness or ending up distorted."
More than ten minutes later, the wolf-headed figure could be seen using his Primordial Spirit's power to fly high off the ground at a speed of over a hundred meters while another team member flew parallel to him, about five hundred meters to his left.
The eight of them were each spaced out by more than five hundred meters, covering a total span of three to four kilometers, with Zhou Bai staying right in the middle of their formation. Together, they flew in parallel, sweeping over the land like a giant comb.
Suddenly, several Heavenly Demons shot up into the sky, and just as the wolf-headed figure thought they were about to attack him, those demons howled and charged towards the middle of their team, growing thick, dense fur as they charged, appearing as though they had gone mad.
Seeing the state of the Heavenly Demons, the wolf-headed figure was shocked: 'The runes left on us by the Nine Realms Flying Sword are truly effective.'
As they advanced, more and more Heavenly Demons were drawn out.
No sooner had they appeared than they charged toward Zhou Bai like madmen, making the wolf-headed figure marvel internally, "Such a miraculous distortion rune. The Heavenly Demons who see it get distorted as well? Weren't Heavenly Demons said to be undistortable? How did the Nine Realms Flying Sword manage to do this?"
As the number of Heavenly Demons increased, so did the black mire around Zhou Bai. He didn't betray them but instead controlled the mire to envelop himself, growing larger and larger, floating in the air like a black hole.

One by one, the Heavenly Demons, under the influence of the Plague Department, crashed into the black hole and were completely silenced, as if consumed by the black hole entirely.
