Time flew by.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Yet, the methods to dispel the demonic qi cultivated within one's body through Buddha's Light Shines Everywhere, Way of Nature, and Brilliant Divine Authority have yet to find an optimal solution.
"I think, perhaps we should try contacting Fallen Splendor. Although they are vampires, they do walk the demon path. Maybe this will inspire us in another way!"
While Mu Jinyu was preparing, just about to head to the Mesopotamian Plain to wait for the founders of Paradise Lost to appear, Mu Shao'ai walked out of the great hall with a furrowed brow and suddenly suggested.
"Hmm? The alliance of four does sound better, indeed..."
Mu Jinyu thought over Mu Shao'ai's words for a moment and found some sense in them, but...
"What is it?"
Mu Shao'ai noticed the slightly awkward and peculiar expression on Mu Jinyu's face and asked curiously.
Mu Jinyu scratched his head and said softly, "I forgot whether I told you this, but Fallen Splendor is nearly destroyed by us..."
"What?" Mu Shao'ai was stunned by Mu Jinyu's words.
Once he regained his senses, he furrowed his brow tightly and said, "Wasn't it just Withered Tree Quest for Spring and Paradise Lost? How did Fallen Splendor end up nearly wiped out by you too?"
"Fallen Splendor was a bit earlier." Mu Jinyu explained, "At that time, their Blood Master, Curse World Lord, colluded with several organizations' experts to ambush Yu Shenfeng, so when I returned, I healed Yu Shenfeng and helped him enhance his cultivation. Afterward, he went to pursue Curse World Lord and others..."
"However, Curse World Lord didn't die at Yu Shenfeng's hands. Instead, he was tricked by Bai Xiaosheng. After absorbing the essence blood left by the blood ancestors of generations, Bai Xiaosheng extracted all his essence blood, causing his death..."
"Bai Xiaosheng told me beforehand that he used part of that essence blood to gain the trust of the Withered Tree Quest for Spring people, while the rest he utilized with Blood Curse Technique to curse-kill the surviving members of the Blood Clan!"
Awkwardly smiling, Mu Jinyu continued, "That's why I said Fallen Splendor is almost destroyed by us. Essentially, the core vampires are pretty much wiped out, but there may be some werewolves and witch-ghouls left, though they're unlikely to show themselves. At least they wouldn't dare under the name of Fallen Splendor."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shao'ai's eyes lit up. "So, they're not entirely wiped out yet, are they? It doesn't matter. It's just the name of an organization, nothing essential. But as long as we can find people, that's good enough. If there are no vampires, help me find some witch-ghouls. Being skilled in cursing techniques, they might be more suitable for finding us a solution than the vampires."
"I see..."
Mu Jinyu thought, since there's still one day left before the founders of Paradise Lost appear, and he had nothing else to do now, running some errands shouldn't be a big deal.
"Alright, I'll try to find them."
After saying that, Mu Jinyu instinctively prepared to use his Secret Heavenly Calculation to see if he could track any witch-ghouls.
But he immediately stopped himself.
With the great battle imminent, it was not suitable for him to use the Secret Heavenly Calculation now.
Every time he used it, it would cause some backlash, slightly damaging him.
Furthermore, concerning the founder of Paradise Lost, Mu Jinyu was sure that they were at least at the Late Stage Hedao Realm, if not at the Void Breaking Realm or Half-Step Breaking Void Realm. In his peak state, he might not be able to handle them, let alone in a weakened state, increasing the likelihood of defeat.
Going like this would be marching towards death!
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Mu Jinyu frozen in place and silent, Mu Shao'ai waved his hand in front of him, surprised.
"It's nothing." Mu Jinyu returned to his senses, smiled at his master, and said, "I'll go find them now and strive to bring people back today."
"Good." Mu Shao'ai said nothing, patting Mu Jinyu's shoulder and turning back into the great hall.
"Phew..."
Watching his master leave, Mu Jinyu exhaled deeply, took out his phone, and decided to contact Mu Hongchen first.
"Hello, Aunt Mu..."
"Yes, what's up Dragon Master?" Mu Hongchen asked curiously.
He thought to himself, shouldn't Mu Jinyu be researching a way to crack the problem at this time? Why was he suddenly reaching out to her? Was there something she needed to do?
Mu Jinyu said, "Do you have any leads on Fallen Splendor right now? Not the core vampires, just witch-ghouls will do..."
Hearing this, Mu Hongchen smiled wryly, "Dragon Master, you must be overestimating me. Fallen Splendor is almost gone now, almost dissolved. Even if some members have survived, they are deeply hidden. Who would dare reveal themselves as members of Fallen Splendor again?"
She paused then reminded, "Dragon Master, since merging Omniscient into our Dragon King Hall, the best-informed person in our intelligence network isn't me anymore. It's Bai Xiaosheng and those two children."
"Fine, I'll go see them," Mu Jinyu sighed with a slight hint of disappointment and hung up the call.
He knew that it would be more convenient to directly contact Bai Xiaosheng, but finding out about the members of Fallen Splendor would certainly come at a cost, which he preferred to avoid.
However, it would be better if Mu Hongchen had some clues that might lead them to the surviving witch-ghouls directly, avoiding troubling Bai Xiaosheng and consuming his essence blood in calculations, making it a win-win situation.
Now, it seemed he still had to ask Bai Xiaosheng for help.
"Elder Bai, where are you now?"
Mu Jinyu put away his phone and took out a Communication Talisman to send a message to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng didn't reply for a long time.
Just as Mu Jinyu thought he wouldn't get a response, a leisurely message came back.
"Dragon Master, I'm at a temple in the Tibetan area now. There's a scripture here that, upon my deduction, might be helpful in this matter. So, I am currently researching it. At present, I can hardly withstand the outcome of deducing heaven's mechanism again. If the Dragon Master needs help, you can find Xuu Hong and Lin Fei..."
After reading Bai Xiaosheng's reply, Mu Jinyu furrowed his brow and then relaxed it, shaking his head with a wry smile and sighing.
"True..."
Mu Jinyu suddenly realized he shouldn't have sought out Bai Xiaosheng.
Instinctively, he thought Bai Xiaosheng, being an adult, should handle the heavenly mechanism deductions rather than leaving them to Xuu Hong and Lin Fei, who he still regarded as children.
Now reflecting on it, Bai Xiaosheng was an elderly man, and assigning him such a task was akin to bullying the elderly.
"Omniscient really is filled with the old, weak, sick, and infirm. Asking them for help feels like bullying!"
Mu Jinyu chuckled wryly, then used the Heaven and Earth Laws to shift swiftly away from Mount Song towards Yinlong Mountain.
Although it felt wrong, like he was bullying kids, he needed to maintain peak condition for the upcoming changes and couldn't just casually use Secret Heavenly Calculation anymore.
