I've already ascended to immortality, and only now is spiritual energy reviving?

He conservatively estimated that if he didn't intervene, this secret realm would only last a month, or even two months, before it suddenly appeared.

However, with its own support, it will probably last for about 3 months.

When we got back to the hotel, it was already late, and my father still hadn't returned.

Bai Sheng opened his phone and saw a message from his father: "I won't be home tonight. Take care of yourself."

Bai Sheng gave a brief reply and then collapsed onto the bed.

Looking at the night view outside the window, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The police department is now on high alert.

Furthermore, it seems that surveillance of cultivators within the city has been strengthened.

Bai Sheng thought to himself that he needed to lay low for the time being, and it seemed that sealing off the secret realm was indeed a wise move.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind: he wondered how his mother was doing.

My father had always said that my mother couldn't take a break, even if she was on vacation, but would stay in the south to keep an eye on the situation, just in case.

"Could this line be important as well? Perhaps I could go and take a look at it."

But the father didn't elaborate on the specifics.

Bai Sheng hesitated slightly, but still picked up his phone and sent a message to his mother: "Mom, are you doing okay?"

About ten minutes later, there was still no reply.

Bai Sheng wasn't surprised; her mother had always been like that.

I'm the kind of person who gets so busy that I either don't eat or can't sleep, so I calmed down, circulated my energy, and quietly took the opportunity to fall asleep.

For the next few days, Bai Sheng enjoyed a rare period of peace.

Firstly, since there's no major activity at the first secret realm, it's not a big problem, so he doesn't need to spend so much energy dealing with the people in the secret realm.

Although Bai Sheng found it very enjoyable to play the white-haired demon, the actual implementation was quite a headache. He had to outwit the cunning old strategist, which was exhausting.

Lin Lu, on the other hand, is becoming increasingly clingy to him, frequently asking him out for meals and shopping, and sending him messages very often.

Bai Sheng naturally understood the girl's thoughts, but he didn't point them out and simply went along with her.

After all, Lin Lu was one of the few people he could normally contact in Guangzhou, so maintaining this relationship wouldn't do him much harm.

That evening, after Bai Sheng finished showering,

After drying my hair, I stepped out of the bathroom and saw that my phone screen was still lit up.

Upon opening it, I found it was a voice message from Lin Lu.

Upon clicking the link, the voice was very excited, saying, "Little Bai, Little Bai, I'm waiting for you downstairs. I heard a new barbecue stall opened at the night market tonight, and my classmate said it's really delicious. Come out and try it!"

Bai Sheng came out wearing a bathrobe and glanced down at the streetlights in front of the hotel. Lin Lu, wearing a beige short jacket, looked up and spotted Bai Sheng at a glance.

Upon seeing Bai Sheng, he waved his phone in his hand and, relying on his sense of direction, waved towards the window, clearly very excited.

Bai Sheng couldn't help but chuckle and casually replied, "Wait for me for 5 minutes."

Then I casually put on a short-sleeved shirt and a jacket and went downstairs.

After they met, Lin Lu naturally took his arm and pulled him toward the night market.

Bai Shengyi felt that winter was approaching and the nights in Guangzhou were quite chilly.

But once we got to the night market, it was indeed quite warm, and with the warm yellow lights and the aroma of various grilled skewers in the air, my heart warmed up too.

Lin Lu chattered away the whole way, telling everyone about the fun things that happened at school.

"Why haven't you been to school these past few days? Are you sick?"

Bai Sheng easily dodged the question, but of course he wouldn't explain the specific reasons.

Soon we arrived at the newly opened night market barbecue stalls, which were very lively.

Although it wasn't very spacious, the low tables were full of people.

The two of them finally managed to snag a small table in the corner.

Lin Lu waved his hand and ordered a huge pile of skewers, and also brought over a few bottles of soda.

After doing all this, Lin Lu rested her chin on her hand and looked at Bai Sheng with a smile, saying nothing.

Bai Sheng felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? You seem to be in a good mood today."

Lin Lu blinked her big, bright eyes and said,

"You seem much more relaxed tonight. I think you seemed very anxious a few days ago."

Bai Sheng was slightly taken aback. Indeed, these past few days, without the pressure of the secret realm, the police hadn't said anything, and his father hadn't been contacting him much.

It was quite remarkable that I let down all my guard and ate a barbecue like an ordinary person.

This sense of relaxation surprised him somewhat.

"Maybe he's hungry, hahaha."

Bai Sheng answered casually, then picked up the lamb skewer and took a bite.

To be honest, Bai Sheng's cultivation has been progressing rapidly these days, but he has also been very engrossed in it.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already put in so much effort, and Bai Sheng felt a little emotional.

To be honest, he wasn't this diligent and hardworking when he was in school. Perhaps he has found the right path for him?

The two ate and drank until almost 10 o'clock, when the crowds at the night market gradually began to thin out and the stalls started to pack up.

Lin Lu, still wanting more, said, "How about we go for a walk ahead and digest a bit?"

Bai Sheng naturally wouldn't refuse, and the two walked side by side along the riverbank, chatting for a while.

At this moment, the river breeze blows, and the lights on the opposite bank are reflected on the water, instantly shattering into a golden glow.

Bai Sheng felt that the atmosphere at this moment was really good.

Lin Lu suddenly said, "That..."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Bai Sheng asked.

Lin Lu seemed about to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, she said, "It's nothing, I just feel a bit unsafe lately. Do you want me to go home? You should be careful staying in a hotel alone."

Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment, and felt a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Isn't that a bit too distorted? But he still didn't expose the girl's feelings, and said, "Well, you shouldn't be out all night. How about I take you home?"

Lin Lu reverted to her carefree self, saying, "I have a copper coin amulet. Even though it only cost five yuan, it seems pretty effective." Bai Sheng

Bai Sheng was amused by him and was about to respond when he suddenly felt a bit of spiritual pressure. What was going on?

The spiritual pressure arrived quite quickly, catching Bai Sheng off guard.

It's easy to feel; it's right on the rooftop of a residential building, 20 kilometers away.

Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly saw what was going on.

The spiritual energy burst was not particularly strong, seemingly only at the early stage of Qi Refining, but it had a very obvious offensive nature.

boom!

A burst of fire erupted on the rooftop, drawing everyone's attention.

Screams erupted from downstairs. Although Lin Lu was 20 kilometers away, she could certainly see the fireworks in the distance. She quickly realized that they weren't fireworks, but fireballs shooting into the sky!

Lin Lu felt her pupils contract; even though they were 20 kilometers apart, the oppressive feeling from the explosion was overwhelming.

Bai Sheng could clearly see a person standing on the rooftop. He was short and stout, wearing a dirty work vest, and holding a dancing flame in his hand.

He frantically hurled fireballs downstairs, and one of them landed on the ground and blasted a fire pit about a meter square.

Even this cement road was scorched red by the fire.

Where had the passersby ever seen such a scene?

Although they knew that the spiritual energy revival was coming and that the great trend was imminent, and had heard many rumors, they were helpless in the face of such a crisis.

In an instant, shouts rose and fell.

Ordinary people would be helpless in this situation!

"What's going on? Has there been an explosion?"

Lin Lu was startled and instinctively grabbed Bai Sheng's arm, saying,

“There, there…it looks like the location of my home.”

Bai Sheng remained expressionless, patted the back of his hand, and said, "Let's take a step back and discuss staying at a hotel tonight?"

Chapter 187 The Mastermind

Lin Lu nodded and said, "Sigh, I hope it's not my house."

But Bai Sheng smiled, because based on what he had just seen, the answer was already obvious.

"It feels like this happened near our school."

Lin Lu echoed, also vaguely sensing the same thing, "Yes, it looks like a construction site nearby."
