Hong Hu nodded, "Dao School receives too much attention; I cannot take action there. But outside of Dao School, that’s no problem. Donghua City is so vast; it’s impossible for every corner to be tightly surveilled. There are plenty of places not being watched.
My third realm strength is enough to suppress him, and I won’t let him have the chance to escape."
"However, my visit this time, the matter of Zhou Bai was just incidental," Hong Hu’s tone shifted as she continued, "Do you know Zhao Shouyi’s granddaughter? The disabled one."
Meng Hao replied, "Is it Zhao Pei? The one who severed her legs due to the Heavenly Demon during her frontline internship? I do know her somewhat, but she isn’t in the special training class..."
...
The next afternoon, after confirming that both Meng Hao and Jiang Ran were in class in the special training class building that afternoon, Zhou Bai secretly asked the afternoon’s Array class teacher for leave, stating he felt unwell after reading the Dao texts yesterday and wanted to rest for a day.
So, that afternoon, Zhou Bai left the school, preparing to head toward the small building in the industrial area that he had tracked down previously.
Worried about being followed by others besides Meng Hao and Jiang Ran, Zhou Bai took to the sewers, separated from his cat, and took a roundabout route.
After spending over an hour playing a game of wits with the air and feeling confident that no one was following him, he finally arrived at the building.
"Christina, your combat ability is higher when you control it. Next, let your physical body take over while I assist with the power of the Primordial Spirit."
After observing no one around the small building, Zhou Bai took off his shirt, remaining bare-chested. He then dropped to all fours, his figure flashed like a specter towards the building’s outer wall, and after finding a window, he crawled inside.
Once inside, Zhou Bai and Christina were highly vigilant, dispersing the power of the Primordial Spirit around them within a ten-meter radius, meticulously sensing everything around.
"No Array."
"No special mechanisms."
"Just an ordinary five-story building."
Zhou Bai and Christina thought briefly, climbed along the ceiling, and searched upwards from the first floor to the fifth. The inside of the building was completely empty, as if it had been abandoned for a long time, allowing Zhou Bai to inspect the entire building within just five minutes, finding nothing amiss.
"Nothing at all?" Zhou Bai returned to the first floor, recalling the interior he had just viewed: "With the help of the Primordial Spirit, no ordinary secret room could confound me. From the first to the fifth floor, there’s nothing; could it be…"
At that thought, Zhou Bai suddenly used the power of the Primordial Spirit to sense the entire first floor’s flooring and immediately noticed the dust in one spot was sparse, and he could even faintly see footprints.
After thinking it over, he penetrated the gaps in the floor with his Primordial Spirit and immediately sensed the space below.
"A basement?" Zhou Bai smiled faintly, activated his Primordial Spirit, and directly pulled open the panel.
Meanwhile, in the room within the basement, Hong Hu, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards a tinkling bell nearby as she slowly stood up.
"Someone here?"
She caught a flicker of cold light in her eyes, shifted slightly, and had already spun around to hide behind the door.
Within seconds of her moving, Zhou Bai had already climbed down the passage into the basement.
Upon seeing the bare-chested figure crawling on all limbs, Hong Hu, who had been prepared to ambush, was slightly taken aback.
’What the hell is this?’
During that moment of hesitation, Zhou Bai abruptly turned his head and spotted Hong Hu behind the door.
Hong Hu snorted coldly and punched, unleashing 3500 points of Primordial Spirit power mixed with her palm strike that burst through the door, flashing towards Zhou Bai’s head.
The terrifying power surged forth, and Zhou Bai and Christina instantly felt an immense threat; together, 1000 and 700 points of their respective Primordial Spirit powers were stacked on their arms as they crept back frantically.
Seeing his eerie speed, a hint of surprise came over Hong Hu’s face, followed by a cold chuckle: ’Think you can escape?’
```
The next instant, accompanying the very ground beneath Hong Hu’s feet shattering bit by bit, she accelerated forward, her palm carrying a chilling aura, pressing hard against Zhou Bai’s chest.
Bang!
Christina only felt a cold, unparalleled force entering her body, instantly breaking through the Protective Gang Qi and then furiously wreaking havoc inside Zhou Bai’s body, making him stiff all over.
Both delivered the power of their Primordial Spirits at the same time, and with the impressive defense they had on lying down, they barely managed to handle the third-realm slap.
A flash of surprise crossed Hong Hu’s eyes as she recognized the other’s face at this moment.
"Zhou Bai?!" Hong Hu frowned, not happy that he had walked into the trap but worried that his rushing in meant there might be an ambush.
Therefore, she did not pursue Zhou Bai but flashed her body like a stream of green smoke, retreating to the outside of the basement, occupying the exit both to keep Zhou Bai inside and to inspect the outside situation.
After all, Zhou Bai, a mere realm-zero cultivator, was not even worthy of her attention. As long as she blocked the exit, he couldn’t turn the tables.
What might be lurking outside was her real concern.
As soon as she shot out of the basement exit, she concentrated to observe the surroundings; whether it was by vision, hearing, smell, or the insight of the Primordial Spirit, she detected no ambush whatsoever.
"Is there no one else?" A hint of surprise flashed in Hong Hu’s eyes. She turned her head towards the entrance of the basement, "Is this guy coming to die?" The next moment she slightly smiled, "It looks like I’m in luck."
Meanwhile, Christina did not pursue Hong Hu either, she shouted in her mind, "This person is at least third realm! We can’t beat her."
"It doesn’t matter, we can reverse time. We still have three minutes," Zhou Bai ignored the injuries on his body completely, activated the power of his Primordial Spirit, and swept through the basement, searching for clues.
"Why is there a third-realm cultivator hiding here? What is the background of Meng Hao and Jiang Ran? Why are they following me?"
The space in the basement was small; within merely a couple of seconds, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit had scanned the entire area.
’Are these two martial arts manuals? Heavenly Demon Concealing Technique? Heavenly Dragon Collapse?’

’Hmm? What’s this?’
Zhou Bai’s gaze sharpened as he looked at a strange, pure black machine.
The machine opened up like a blooming lotus, with several mirror-like objects below.
"How does it look like a projector?" Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit moved slightly, already pressing a red button.
He then saw the top of the machine, where lights and shadows shifted, producing a rather blurry figure.
At the same time, Hong Hu had returned to the basement location, watching Zhou Bai with a cold smirk, "Although I don’t know why you found this place, your luck is really not in your favor."
From the other side, the blurry figure spoke, "Hmm? Zhou Bai? Hong Hu, have you succeeded?"
The voice of the light and shadow, was that Xing Jun?
This machine turned out to be linked to the Heavenly Demon Pool where Xing Jun was, enabling direct communication.
He looked towards the woman in front of him, coldly said, "Have you sided with the Heavenly Demon?"
Hong Hu didn’t speak, she naturally wouldn’t answer Zhou Bai’s question, only moved her body, slapping a palm towards Zhou Bai, intending to subdue him first before...
Christina warned, "The 10 minutes are almost up."
Thus, he immediately activated Time Reverse.
