Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 231 - 149: King of Darkness and Blood Red Peach (2)
"The committee is quite busy too."
Bai Mo saw Tie Shiba open the "Lambo Postpartum Care Center Security Deployment" folder. He flipped through the camera deployment diagram, the personnel deployment chart, and signed a special ammunition permit, approving twenty Immortal Artifact bullets for this case.
"The committee previously took away the babies targeted by the Dark World.
"Are they arranged at this Lambo Postpartum Care Center?
"Is Xiaobao upstairs also in this postpartum center?"
Bai Mo suddenly realized.
Just as he was about to look at the documents, he saw Tie Shiba open a red folder with no name.
This folder had a high confidentiality level. It required a password and fingerprint verification to open.
Once opened, the file list was filled with countless photos.

...
Seeing this, Bai Mo frowned.
Wu Jianxian, Chairman of the Committee, Sword Immortal of Sequence Seven, he was injured?
Then Tie Shiba opened another report, titled "Assessment Report on the King of Darkness's Injuries".
Under the heading, it clearly stated...
Reporter: Wu Jianxian
Report Date: May 18th
This date... before the college entrance examination? Two months ago?
"...My sword successfully pierced the Dantian Qi Sea of the King of Darkness, leaving a blood scab fish in his Qi Sea.
"This is a fish that cannot be removed unless the Dantian Qi Sea is torn apart.
"The fish will continue to swim in his Dantian blood water, sipping his blood, keeping him in a weakened state.
"In about five to seven years, it will drink up all his blood water, causing his Qi Sea to dry up, leaving him with no Immortal Qi to use..."
Bai Mo marveled in his heart...
The recruitment teacher said that Wu Jianxian battled the King of Darkness; it turned out it wasn't nonsense, it was true?
Sequence Seven battles weren't child's play; both sides were determined to fight to the death, unleashing all their ace cards and lethal moves. One wrong move and they could face utter ruin.
It seems this time, the King of Darkness suffered a huge loss. The blood scab fish that entered his Qi Sea was like a parasitic seed, continuously consuming his Blood Water Immortal Qi.
Bai Mo continued to secretly peek at the documents.
"...The King of Darkness stands between three meters twenty to three meters twenty-three, weighs between four hundred twenty to four hundred thirty pounds, has a pear-shaped body, and is extremely obese.
"He wore a mask and blindfold, so I couldn't capture his facial features or irises.
"The post-battle DNA collection failed to match anyone, no such person was found in the database.
"It's initially estimated that after cultivating the Immortal Martial Path, his body was altered, and his genetic information was mutated.
"A nationwide investigation has been arranged for all individuals over two meters tall and weighing over two hundred pounds, to verify their true identity, but the success rate is low..."
All current Sequence Seven members, except for Wu Jianxian, concealed their identities and developed quietly.
The King of Darkness was no exception, never appearing publicly or revealing any identity information.
After all, exposing the past could lead to vulnerabilities and potential danger.
"And what about Wu Jianxian? What price did he pay to repel the King of Darkness?"
Bai Mo was curious, but then saw Tie Shiba close the folder on the screen.
"Huh?"
Bai Mo pondered for a moment and then chuckled.
"Regarding the King of Darkness's injury reports, he deliberately showed them to me.
"He doesn't want me to see Wu Jianxian's injury reports?"
Well, that can be entirely understood.
Bai Mo lowered his head, stroked Big and Small Eyes' chubby neck, and was about to look at the documents again when suddenly the recent events connected in his mind, and he seemed to vaguely discover a connection!
The King of Darkness, wounded by Wu Jianxian, needed to replenish Immortal Qi...
The Dark World was capturing infants everywhere, exclusively targeting babies on a special list...
Could these two things be related?
It really seems like they might be!
Bai Mo flipped through the documents on the tablet and found a previously copied Immortal Martial research report in the corners.
It recorded that there are many ways for Immortal Martial practitioners to replenish their blood qi, such as consuming Blood Bull Gall, bathing in Red Python Blood, creating a City of Unjust Death, or eating Blood Red Peach...
"Yes, that's it, Blood Red Peach!"
The document detailed that consuming a fresh Blood Red Peach grown within a month can replenish blood qi.
Bai Mo had found this document odd before. Are there really medicinal herbs like "Blood Red Peach"?
After spending so many years on Fox Mountain, he'd read numerous documents and recognized many medicinal herbs, but never encountered this "Blood Red Peach", even doubting if there was a mistake in the document?
Now, flipping through the documents again, he quickly found a recently unearthed one.
"...The Life Chart Description Method of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty."
For example, people today might divide themselves into zodiac signs or constellations based on their birthdates. People of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty also attributed different life charts depending on their birthdates and times.
"Logically, this should be unusable today.
"After all, from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty to today, there's an unknowable historical discontinuity.
"In the calendar system, the years can no longer be determined.
"However, there seems to be a specific year, date, and time of birth that determines a life chart of..."
Bai Mo found the odd sequence of text in the documents.
"...Blood Red Peach!"
So, Blood Red Peach doesn't refer to a medicinal herb, but babies born on a specific year, date, and time?
Mature Blood Red Peach less than a month old refers to... babies less than a month old?
Bai Mo furrowed his brow.
"Are all the babies on the list born on the same day and time, Blood Red Peach?
"Or are there some items mixed in to confuse and deceive people?
"The Dark World wants to capture them to help the King of Darkness restore his blood qi?"
Bai Mo sorted out the clues from the documents he peeked at, from the ancient documents, and suddenly realized.
But he also realized the seriousness of the situation!
"If that's the case, will the King of Darkness easily let this go?"
Looking at the deployment chart, it seems the committee hasn't placed extra importance on this matter.
After all, the unique supply methods of Immortal Martial, the calendar system of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty, the life chart descriptions of the Ancient Immortal Dynasty... these things are too obscure, belonging to the fringes of documents. It's doubtful the committee is aware.
In this case, the babies, this postpartum center, among so many big cases of the committee, seem rather ordinary! The committee would hardly anticipate that a pair of sinister eyes, lurking in the shadows and staring at the babies, come from the King of Darkness!
...
The scorching sun blazed, and even the dust raised on the road carried heat.
Swish...
A taxi stopped in front of the Lambo Postpartum Care Center.
The door opened, and Bai Mo, dressed in sportswear, stepped out. Black pants, black short-sleeved shirt, and a slender figure.
Following behind him was the fox disciple, White Tail. It held two fruit baskets with its paws outstretched, glancing around curiously at the modern scenery.
"Let's go."
With a call from the master, it hurriedly followed and entered the Lambo Postpartum Care Center.
As soon as they entered the lobby of the building, they felt the cool air from the air conditioning, and a security guard immediately blocked their way.
"Hello sir, may I ask... uh... Expert Bai Mo?"
This chubby security guard, with a beer belly, was surprisingly Ren Zhenzhen's Fatty Squad Leader, a previous visitor to Bai Mo's home from the Immortal Technique Committee. Now wearing a security uniform, pretending to be a guard here.
"Expert Bai Mo, why are you here?
"Oh, I remember, Xiaobao is your upstairs neighbor.
"Are you here to visit him?"
Bai Mo nodded.
Meanwhile, the Fatty Squad Leader grinned widely.
"They are on the second floor, room 206.
"Shall I take you there?"
Bai Mo shook his head, exchanged a few pleasantries, then led White Tail up the stairs.
Along the way, his Spiritual Sense was frequently triggered. He discovered that besides the Fatty Squad Leader, there were five Immortal Technique Committee members here; two disguised as doctors, three as caretakers, either on guard or patrolling.
The cameras, both in obvious and hidden locations along the corridor, were densely arranged, capturing everyone who came by.
"The defense is quite tight.
"Unfortunately, the one eyeing this place is the King of Darkness.
"Whether such a level of defense is enough, remains to be seen."
