Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 704 704: 702 Encirclement

The Plague Department's Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch, appearing as a young girl with long black hair, sat barefoot on a chair swinging her legs. Silver bells tied to her wrists and ankles jingled with her movements.

She said, "We have detected an abnormal Void Pulse. Someone besides us is using deformed weapons, and it seems they have had some success."

Beside her, the skeletal Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch coldly stated, "It's the Sky Flipping Sect. Li Xiuzhu took the Blood Transformation Divine Sword last time. It appears they have indeed made some progress with it."

Xiang Tiandi said, "Last time Yan Zhen encountered someone from the Sky Flipping Sect claiming to be Christina. Now I suspect that person might have been Zhou Bai, who was then using lies to warp Yan Zhen's mind."

The Si Yi Heavenly Monarch smiled, "And the incident at Laboratory Six earlier, it now looks mostly like the doing of the Sky Flipping Sect. I actually want to meet this Li Xiuzhu face to face. Heh, quite bold, isn't he?"

The Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch snorted, "The power of deformed weapons is unreasonable. Even we could inadvertently fall victim, meaning the Sky Flipping Sect now has weapons capable of killing us. If we let this situation develop further, the consequences would be unthinkable."

"According to His Majesty's will, we must immediately assemble troops, exterminate the Sky Flipping Sect, and capture Li Xiuzhu."

"Not only should we deploy celestial beings with a decisive blow, but we should also marshal mortal cultivators to shield against the deformed weapons."

"At minimum, we must gather five Immortals, five true gods, and a hundred cultivators of the fifth realm or higher. With an overwhelming force, we must completely eradicate the Sky Flipping Sect."

"This is also His Majesty's will."

Nearby, Si Yi Heavenly Monarch said, "Such a grand mobilization. Then I won't get to see Li Xiuzhu. Maybe I should just help out as well."

Seeing no one opposed, the Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch turned to Xiang Tiandi and another Thunder Department marshal, Jiu Xiao Marshal Fan Ming.

"Tiandi, Fan Ming, according to His Majesty's will, this matter is for you to handle. Organize the forces, find where the Sky Flipping Sect is."

"Let no one escape."

Xiang Tiandi indifferently said, "The Sky Flipping Sect has mastered deformed weapons, and some mortals will likely support them. The four major sects might make a move as well."

"Whoever stands in the way, kill them."

Bao Bing Heavenly Monarch slowly stated, "Heavenly Sword's current state is no longer a concern, Jiaojiao will soon be overwhelmed. Plus, His Majesty said, this time you're allowed to request the Plague Department's deformed weapons."

...

After leaving Zhou Bai, Tian Mo quickly led Jiaojiao into a room, where she was told to wait.

She sat in a chair, warily observing her surroundings, thinking about Zhou Bai's situation.

'What is Tian Mo's real purpose?'

'When did Zhou Bai make contact with them? There seems to be some secret connection between them.'

'Tian Mo has always wanted to harness the power of deformed beings, they wouldn't plan on harming Zhou Bai, would they?'

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Having collaborated with Tian Mo before, Jiaojiao knew all too well how cruel and ruthless he could be.

For the sake of his goals, he would stop at nothing, and he almost hated all life, that was Jiaojiao's impression of Tian Mo.

But remembering Zhou Bai's confident smile, and what he had told her, Jiaojiao calmed herself, maintaining her trust in Zhou Bai.

Especially recalling the recent few times Zhou Bai had confronted celestial beings, thinking of his tactical genius, everything under control, Jiaojiao felt increasingly reassured.

Two days later...

Jiaojiao's hands tensed, her fingernails slowly scraping across the ground, leaving behind five deep scratches, emitting a grating noise.

Her expression also turned fierce, her eyebrows twisted into a frown.

She opened her mouth and roared:

"No!"

"I can't keep waiting like this."

"I haven't seen Zhou Bai for two days now."

She had been waiting for two days. If it weren't for Zhou Bai sending messages several times, and as his retainer, being able to sense that Zhou Bai was in good condition, she would have probably charged in searching for him already.

But this waiting had reached its limit; she could no longer endure this aimless waiting.

Boom!

The pendant transformed into the Abyss Nether Dragon Armor suddenly expanded and enveloped the Mysterious Woman again.

As the shockwave dissipated, the Mysterious Woman, wielding the End of Dharma Heaven Deformed Sword, blinked consecutively, teleporting towards the location she sensed Zhou Bai was in.

At the same time, a large number of Heavenly Demons started to act, with various kinds of weapons ready to cover the Mysterious Woman.

But soon, accompanied by a large amount of information flashing through the Heavenly Demons' communication network, the array of weapons stopped one by one.

"The Mysterious Woman has gone berserk."

"It seems she is going to find Zhou Bai."

"Should we stop her?"

"No, Zhou Bai seems to value the Mysterious Woman quite a lot. Let her go."

...

The Mysterious Woman continued to teleport rapidly, passing through walls and corridors until she arrived at a strange street.

"Again this kind of place, similar to the video the Heavenly Demons showed Zhou Bai last time. All the writings and words are incomprehensible."

Looking down at the pointing and discussing crowd, the Mysterious Woman frowned and continued to teleport towards the sensed location.

After a few more flashes, she arrived in a room.

She then saw a silhouette lying on a bed, with the sound of rapid clicking coming from their fingertips.

The Mysterious Woman looked puzzledly at Zhou Bai on the bed: "Zhou Bai? Are you okay?"

'Damn it!' Christina shouted inside Zhou Bai's mind: 'He's been lying in bed for two days!'

Elsa licked her lips: 'The food these days has been really delicious.'

The Zhou Bai in front of her was looking at the screen, typing on a keyboard with one hand and maneuvering a mouse with the other, actually lying in bed using an over-bed table to play online games.

Hearing the Mysterious Woman's voice, he looked up for a moment, then hurriedly lowered his head again, joyfully saying, "Yeah, of course, I'm doing terrific. These Heavenly Demons are incredible, not only are the electronics real, the computer is real, but they've even recreated the old network."

The Mysterious Woman stared blankly at Zhou Bai, understanding every word he said, but when strung together, they made no sense.

"Zhou Bai, let's go, you don't seem quite right."

"No no no, I feel great, terrific." Zhou Bai said with a smile: "I can play games again, and even the silly online friends are here. There are twenty more years of anime, novels, and movies since I left."

"I'm absolutely overjoyed; why would I want to leave?"

The Mysterious Woman frowned as she looked at Zhou Bai laughing continuously.

She walked over, brushed his cheek with her hand, and wiped away the tears at the corner of Zhou Bai's eyes.

"I understand, then I'll stay with you from now on."

The Mysterious Woman squatted beside Zhou Bai, her eyes softly gazing at him.
