My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 62 The Three Great Religions

Chu Zhu's eye twitched slightly.

However, based on Li Kang's experience... he realized that Ning Linglong probably didn't understand what he was saying either, and might think he was chanting a spell? Wait, why did he suddenly chant this? Isn't that a famous Taoist saying...?

The next moment, Ning Linglong's tone changed rapidly, switching back to dream language, "Earth, fire, wind, water, come! The shape of a vortex!"

Terrifying waves of water suddenly surged out of the void, transforming into water blades that spun continuously, crashing into the black shadow like a small whirlpool.

The black shadow struggled and roared, its sharp cries causing the already cracked glass to tremble violently before shattering.

"??? Why are we here again?"

"Ah! My ears..."

"What the hell?"

The sounds of neighbors cursing and shouting could be heard from all around, along with faint, anxious discussions about whether there had been an explosion somewhere.

"...Thank goodness!" Ning Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, then her pupils suddenly contracted.

The water blade transformed into a vortex, entangling the dark shadow and preventing it from escaping.

The baby demon stretched out its sharp claws. At that moment, the nails on its tiny hands grew continuously, eventually exceeding the length of its entire arm.

Pierce through! Tear apart!
then……

The infant demon circled in mid-air before charging directly at Li Kang. Its sharp claws were already aimed at his abdomen!

Li Kang remained calm and composed, then reached out and lifted the safe beside him, suddenly slamming it down on the baby demon!

"Clang-"

The baby demon inside the safe kept thrashing about. Li Kang gripped the safety latch tightly, the veins on his arm bulging.

Chu Zhu: "...?"

No, how much force did you use?

Chu Zhu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He had been thinking that it wouldn't be too difficult to get it inside. But it wasn't like a baby would immediately become quiet and powerless once inside; it was possible for it to cause such a commotion!
Chu Zhu knew very well that Li Kang was much stronger than him, and even he was struggling so much... If it were Chu Zhu...

Chu Zhu shuddered; he was afraid he could only be a male father!
Finally, the baby demon calmed down.

“…It’s over!” Li Kang took a couple of breaths, his expression showing extreme exhaustion, with some black lines appearing on the whites of his eyes.

"The enemy... was killed?" Chu Zhu glanced at Li Kang, but didn't say much, getting straight to the point. After a brief pause, Chu Zhu looked at Ning Linglong, "And you..."

"Solve it? I wouldn't call it that!" Ning Linglong said, her expression solemn as she stared intently at the sky. The black shadow gradually dissipated like snowflakes. "This is not a cultivator at all!"

"What is that!" Chu Zhu's expression turned serious.

“It’s a supernatural power! To be precise, it should be a derivative of the supernatural powers of cultivators!” Li Kang said softly, his expression solemn. “The enemy hasn’t been eliminated! The enemy is nearby… Ning Linglong!”

“I know, I’m sensing it.” Ning Linglong’s eyes were slightly lowered, her tone was urgent, and a crystal-clear divine light was flashing on her forehead.

After a moment, Ning Linglong withdrew her divine light with a wry smile. "I can't sense it... After all, my supernatural abilities aren't specialized in mental perception! If it were Bi Xuan... well, although he's good at perception, he hasn't fully developed yet, so he might not be much better than me..."

"So, the arrest failed?" Chu Zhu asked, her expression puzzled. "It failed!" Li Kang patted his cheek. "Next, it's time to deal with these neighbors!"

Li Kang took off his coat, revealing his patrol uniform underneath, and prepared to go out to reassure the awakened neighbors one by one. After hesitating for a moment, to prevent the assassin from returning, Li Kang pushed the box containing the baby ghost toward Chu Zhu.

"And you, don't even think about giving up..." Ning Linglong sighed, took a few steps, then leaned closer and kicked Guan Fei.

However, Guan Fei remained motionless at that moment.

Ning Linglong raised an eyebrow, kicked again, but still no reaction. "?"

Chu Zhu's eyelids twitched, and she quickly went to Guan Fei's side. She first touched his neck, and then pinched his philtrum. "...I have a question. If a body cultivator has no pulse and no breathing, is he dead or has he fallen into some other state?"

Li Kang: "..."

Ning Linglong: "?!"

Both of them were stunned, and then their minds went blank.

“Wait…it was that attack, but, but, but, this…” Ning Linglong stammered, her words filled with disbelief and her eyes filled with confusion.

“It seems he’s not a wild superhuman!” Li Kang’s eyes flickered with emotion for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He murmured, “A wild superhuman assassin of this strength might exist, but a poison that can kill a quasi-level two body refiner directly is definitely not something an ordinary wild superhuman could possess.”

Although that sword wounded Guan Fei, given his physique, it was by no means fatal—considering that the enemy's supernatural power was shadow, not poison, the only possibility was that additional poison had been applied!
So cautious!

Li Kang paced back and forth. It wasn't that he wasn't angry, but rather that he had long been used to it... He had seen far too many of his subordinates, his colleagues, and his seniors die for various reasons.

Chu Zhu lowered her eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "How much do you know about the enemy's methods? What are your speculations about the enemy's origins? What kind of poison is it? If you were to go back an hour and rearrange your plans, would you have a way to capture the enemy in the shortest amount of time? If so, what method would you use?"

"...What's the point of saying this now? Besides, given your abilities..."

"Answer me," Chu Zhu interrupted Ning Linglong.

Ning Linglong's breath hitched. She gave Chu Zhu a deep look and said softly, "The enemy should currently be within a kilometer radius! But they should have already escaped? Perhaps?"

"As for this method, it should be a demonic technique. Although there are wild demonic cultivators, they shouldn't be able to obtain such strictly controlled poisons—it must be some demonic sect?"

"...The Five Poisons Society, the Joyous Union Society, or the Omnipotent Society?" Li Kang thought for a moment, then looked at Chu Zhu. "These are all major sects of the demonic path! They're the kind that are strictly wanted by the authorities... Currently, the Omnipotent Society is the most suspicious! Because the Omnipotent Society is mainly based in Jinghai, where we are. However, considering that this time poison is involved again... the Five Poisons Society is also a suspect!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was in turmoil. He looked at Li Kang again and asked in a cryptic tone, "Are you sure... the Omnipotent Society is the most likely suspect?"

"...What do you mean?" Li Kang was somewhat confused.

Chu Zhu didn't reply... because he knew all three sects! In fact, he was quite familiar with them.

Because of the extraordinary isolation policy, Chu Zhu was not very clear about matters involving the extraordinary before.

However… aside from the extraordinary, Chu Zhu knew almost everything about the city beneath his feet—

The significance of this matter is actually ridiculously high!

However, after Chu Zhu made contact with the Duwei Si group for some time, they were all dealing with matters involving the supernatural, so he didn't show it much...
