193: The end is coming soon?

"Eating people!"

Everyone's eyes widened, their expressions terrified.

Even Si Nan's pupils contracted sharply.

Although they belonged to the Demon Sect, they were more about acting unrestrainedly and disliking the constraints of the secular world.

Eating people, even within the Demon Sect, was something only a very small number of people would do, and they would still be ostracized by others!

After all, no one would want a cannibal working alongside them.

Some Sects even explicitly forbade it.

Ghost Gate Sect was one of them.

"Shhh! Keep your voices down, what if someone with ill intentions hears and reports me? I don't want to be eaten!" Zhao Rongrong quickly shushed them in a low voice.

"Understood, understood."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, but the terror on their faces had not dissipated.

Perhaps after this, the dungeon would be listed as a Forbidden Ground they could not enter.

Si Nan was pensive, seemingly recalling something.

After chatting with her group of girlfriends for a few moments, she left.

...

Disciple Dormitory.

Su Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, steadily entering the main door.

Several Disciples saw him and quickly bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Black Abyss Saint!"

"Mm." Su Xiaobai nodded faintly, then scanned the room. "Where is Sun Qian's room?"

Sun Qian was the Qi Refinement Stage Disciple whose condition he had checked first.

"I know, I know! I'll take you!" A Disciple eagerly approached, a fawning expression on his face.

A hint of jealousy flashed in the depths of the other Disciples' eyes, annoyed that they had reacted too slowly and let this fellow seize the Opportunity.

Guiding the Saint might just be an Opportunity!

Led by that Disciple, Su Xiaobai arrived at a room at the end of the corridor.

This room was separated from the others by a staircase, making it seem quite isolated.

Creak...

Su Xiaobai pushed open the door, and a gust of wind swept in, bringing with it a strong smell of urine.

The Disciple beside him choked and coughed violently, "Cough cough! Sun Qian, you bastard, are you peeing in the room again? Didn't you see the Saint is here?!"

He then turned to Su Xiaobai and explained apologetically: "Saint, please forgive me. This guy has been like an idiot ever since he came back from the dungeon. He eats, drinks, and relieves himself all in the room and doesn't go to the latrine, no matter how much we scold him.

He even drools when he sees people, he's just a simpleton!"

Su Xiaobai glanced at him faintly... He wasn't drooling because he was a simpleton, but because you looked quite delicious...

However, this Disciple's words also indirectly indicated that these released virus carriers had not yet started biting people; they were waiting for an opportune moment.

And that moment would be after he left.

Su Xiaobai silently shielded his sense of smell, his gaze falling on the center of the room.

A thin, disheveled man was kneeling in the center of the room, his hands propped on the ground.

Seeing Su Xiaobai, a joyful expression immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly crawled over on his knees, licking Su Xiaobai's long boots.

He looked like a pet dog seeing its owner return.

"Eh? Strange? Sun Qian usually ignores us and even tries to bite us if we annoy him.

But today, as soon as you, Saint, arrived, he's wagging his tail and begging, clearly subdued by your wise and majestic Aura!"

The Disciple beside him took the Opportunity to flatter Su Xiaobai.

Su Xiaobai ignored him, reaching his hand towards Sun Qian at his feet, making a gesture as if to stroke his head.

Sun Qian immediately bent down, placing his head under his hand, waiting for his touch.

Su Xiaobai's brows furrowed, "Again? What exactly is on me that attracts these virus-infected people? What makes them show me such favor?"

These infected people had shown him favor before, and at that time, he hadn't thought much of it, but looking back now, there must be something on him that is attracting them.

What could it be?

He thought of the cheats he possessed.

"Heavenly Tome," "Darkness Law," "Ancient Celestial Destruction Art," "Law of Myriad Transformations," "Dragon Courage Righteous Scripture," Xuanyuan Sword, Xiao Ling...

He fell into contemplation, which lasted for a full minute.

..."No, there are too many cheats, I can't effectively rule anything out." He rubbed his temples, suddenly feeling that having too many cheats was not always a good thing.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"That's right, how could I forget about her!"

Purple Demise, the Devil Emperor who once stood at the pinnacle of the world, one of the Devil Emperors who brought unimaginable disaster to all realms!

Her remnant soul was still Sealed within his Soul Sea; he would inevitably carry some of her Aura.

But if these people were drawn to him because of Purple Demise, then there was only one possibility—these viruses were spread by the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan!

"No, that shouldn't be!" Su Xiaobai shook his head violently, "The Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's invasion should be a hundred years later. They shouldn't appear at this time!"

"But... what if?"

The "Heavenly Tome" still gave no hints, but if it were the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, shielding the heavenly secrets would be a simple matter for them.

"Is it because of my appearance that the world has changed? But it shouldn't be.

I'm only in the Nascent Soul Realm right now; my influence isn't enough to reach that level, is it?"

Su Xiaobai was completely baffled.

He didn't know at this moment that in the future, when all realms were in a stalemate with the Demon Race, the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan would expend a huge price to replicate the Divine Artifact kunlun mirror, secretly transporting a portion of their cadres to the era before the rise of the Great Emperor.

And this group of cadres had their heavenly secrets obscured by the kunlun mirror replica, making them impossible to divine or deduce.

Su Xiaobai's mood was extremely heavy now; if it truly was the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan, then the seriousness of the matter would far exceed a mere plague!

The Demon Race invasion, which was supposed to happen a hundred years later, would be advanced by a full hundred years!

The apocalypse... was about to begin...

"Saint, someone is looking for you outside." A Disciple walked over and said.

Su Xiaobai snapped out of his thoughts, his expression blank: "Who?"

"It's your attendant, Senior Sister Si Nan. Her expression looks very anxious, and she asked me to quickly invite you out."

..."Alright, I understand."

He stood up, retracting the hand he was about to place on Sun Qian's head. He hadn't pressed it down at all, because it was too dirty.

"Mm~" Sun Qian looked at him pitifully, like a neglected pet, filled with grievance, sadness, and self-blame...

Su Xiaobai ignored him and turned to leave.

...

Outside the building.

Si Nan was pacing back and forth anxiously.

Seeing Su Xiaobai emerge, their eyes met for a moment: We'll talk later.

Both nodded in understanding.

Upon returning to their residence, the two walked directly into Si Nan's boudoir and applied layers of Seal.

"How are things on your side?" Both spoke at the same time.

Su Xiaobai paused for a moment, "You first."

"Okay." Si Nan nodded, then said dramatically: "This time, I barely escaped with my life, expended immense effort, used all my connections, and then..."

"Get to the point!" Su Xiaobai looked at her impatiently.

"Alright." Si Nan puffed out her cheeks, deleting the draft in her mind about her hardships and obstacles.

"According to my investigation, that burly jailer is not just an ordinary jailer; he has another identity." She said mysteriously.

"What identity?"

"The Grand Elder's third Disciple."

"What?!" Su Xiaobai's pupils suddenly widened.

"Mm-hmm!" Si Nan was very pleased with his expression and said unhurriedly: "And he was demoted to a jailer because he ate people."
