Chapter 851 - 839: Reappearance

By White Bird Lake.

In front of the wooden house, Chen Mu used the Point Ground into Steel, which he had not used for a long time, to soften the ground.

The soil rose into the air like liquid, floated not far ahead, and then solidified, forming a sand table.

Upon it, small mountains, rivers, streets, the Market District, and White Bird City were identical, meticulously scaled down to match White Bird City.

He waved his hand to gather dozens of fiery red leaves from the Moonlight Tree nearby, using them as small flags that he inserted upright into various parts of the sand table.

And the locations of these leaves were all spots where the blood-colored Black Wind Demon had appeared.

"Most are in desolate and dark alleyways, yet distributed all over the city."

"The farthest one has reached the edge of White Bird City, showing no apparent pattern."

"Where exactly did these ghostly things emerge from?"

Chen Mu was full of questions.

The sudden appearance of the peculiar Black Wind Demon had shown ominous signs in the Sixth Rank Nine Cup Calculation Scripture—how could he be at ease?

After settling down, he had been pondering this matter.

"No matter where they come from, it doesn't hurt to be prepared."

With a wave of his hand, the Giant Spirit Divine, clad in dark red armor, appeared. Twelve Vermilion Feather Swords flew out from his sleeves, heading in all directions.

The Mechanical Talisman Seed that controlled the Vermilion Feather Sword could record and learn, and the Giant Spirit Divine's avatar possessed a touch of special Spirituality.

Using the Giant Spirit Divine's Truth Listening Divine Power and the Vermilion Feather Sword enveloping the city, it could automatically monitor the entire White Bird City, allowing them to spot the unusual Black Wind Demon immediately without Chen Mu's direct involvement.

...

Several months swiftly passed.

White Bird City remained calm and peaceful.

By White Bird Lake.

Early in the morning, Chen Mu first went to the entrance, placing his hand on the shoulder of the Giant Spirit Divine, which stood like a Door God. Overnight surveillance records poured into his mind.

"There's a high probability that the unusual Black Wind Demon will not reappear." Confirming nothing unusual overnight, Chen Mu smiled.

"Thinking back now, the unusual Black Wind Demon was likely drawn by the Divine Soldier Fragments."

In these days of constant review, he realized the only change before and after the appearance of the blood-colored Black Wind Demon was his chance acquisition of three pieces of the Divine Weapon Fragment.

Now that he had relocated and stopped practicing other city roots, the blood-colored Black Wind Demon indeed hadn't reappeared for three to four months.

"And the unknown crisis discovered by the Calculation Scripture."

"There's probably a connection with the Divine Weapon Fragments as well."

"Luckily, the Calculation Scripture detected it early, or who knows what chaos might have ensued."

Chen Mu was assured.

He then summoned the gray Stone Gate, looking into one section.

Nine Cup Calculation Scripture: 11/10000/Sixth Rank;

During this time, besides daily Qi Refinement, he diligently practiced the Nine Cup Calculation Scripture.

This method wasn't an esoteric Secret Technique predicting the future but a secret technique that deduced various possibilities using surrounding environmental information.

Just like before an earthquake, there might be subtle anomalies. Ordinary people wouldn't notice them, but the Nine Cup Calculation Scripture could capture these subtle signs and deduce from them.

At first, its utility was limited, struggling even to predict weather.

It's mainly about calculating, accuracy is another matter.

But as the level increased, its abilities gradually enhanced.

Over the years, this method had pointed Chen Mu in the right direction many times, helping him avoid danger and seek fortune.

"Ascending is good because it allows for the detection of danger sooner and more accurately."

He immediately engaged the secret technique's calculus with confidence.

Since moving again, performing a calculation had become a routine habit for Chen Mu.

"No danger, no risk?"

"Isn't that extremely auspicious!"

Chen Mu cheerfully sank into the rocking chair, ready to begin his daily Qi Refining and Immortal Cultivation.

Then he looked up to find a large face composed of black-red smoke had somehow appeared on the ceiling of the corridor.

A pair of blood-red eyes stared silently at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu: "..."

Wasn't it supposed to be no danger, no risk? How come there's the blood-colored Black Wind Demon appearing?!

Ding-a-ling-a-ling...

The Heartless Bell grasped in the Giant Spirit Divine's right hand shook rapidly.

Is the blood-colored Black Wind Demon also appearing within the city?

Chen Mu instinctively activated the Nine Cup Calculation Scripture.

The result...

"And they said no danger, no risk?!"

As if noticing Chen Mu's gaze, the smoke mass above opened a large mouth full of jagged sharp teeth. The scarlet eyes glowed intensely, forming a hideous, maliciously grinning face.

"This Sixth Rank Nine Cup Calculation Scripture is ineffective."

"I've been confronted by this blood-colored Black Wind Demon, yet it still shows no danger, no risk!"

Candle Dragon!

A huge dragon's head burst from within Chen Mu, swallowing the black-red smoke mass above in one gulp.

It then transformed from solid to ethereal, passing through the rooftop unobstructed, soaring skyward like lightning, racing toward where the blood-colored Black Wind Demon appeared.

Chen Mu helplessly invoked the Yin Spirit Divine Power.

"Carry Mountains!"

Invisible ripples spread, and all the Yin Spirits in White Bird City shuddered together. Instantly, they transformed into streams of gray wind, burrowing beneath White Bird City's surface.

Amidst humming reverberations, the vast White Bird City spanning dozens of miles once again rumbled skyward.

"This place is untenable."

"Time to move again."

...

In the Nether Demon Heaven, the Blood Sea raged immensely.

In front of a black wall, a pitch-black shadow hovered in mid-air, with countless eyes of varying sizes turning independently, as if each had its own consciousness.

"There's absolutely no problem this time." Wu Mu confidently declared to Lan Zhang, utilizing a massive eyeball as tall as half a person.

"Last time, I was slow to act, trying to test the weak points."

"This time, it's different."

"This time I will send in over a hundred Yama Blood God's Sons at once."

"No need to wait for the weak point to reappear. I'll just blood sacrifice those Blood God's Sons right away, forcibly linking inside and out, prying open the Yama Cave Heaven."

Watching the final Yama Blood God's Son slip into the black curtain, the large eyeball buzzed with sound, full of confidence.

As he finished speaking, he immediately performed the Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique.

And then realized that the newly sent Yama Blood God's Sons vanished quickly, like a row of dominos falling one after the other.

His Perceptive connection couldn't even keep up with the speed at which the Blood God's Sons vanished.

It was as if there was a monster with a gaping mouth on the other side, into which he had carelessly sent the Blood God's Sons!

"What the hell is going on?!"

Wu Mu's massive eyeball glared wide in disbelief.

"No, no, no, there's still a chance!" It suddenly snapped out of its daze.

"The weak point where the Blood God's Sons entered a moment ago disappeared not long ago, with traces still lingering."

"As long as I act immediately, there's a chance to pry open the crack again."

With resolve, Wu Mu's countless eyes simultaneously widened.

Scarlet beams burst out, striking the last spot where the Yama Blood God's Son vanished.

Boom!

The red light collided with the curtain.

It was as if tempered glass struck a sharp object, shattering into countless tiny red sparks, scattering everywhere.

"Is it completely useless?"

"It can't be."

Wu Mu hastily sensed carefully.

Only to discover that the traces of the weak point had shifted position.

The earlier attack had missed its mark entirely.

Wu Mu was about to launch another attack when he found the remnant traces moving at high speed.

In just a moment, it had already moved several miles away.

Moreover, it was repairing itself swiftly as it moved, disappearing entirely before he could aim again.

"Why is it retreating?"

"Is it alive?!"

Wu Mu was incredulous, glaring all its countless eyes wide open.
