Master of Life and Death, Cycle of Thousand Spirits.

— Superior [Vortex]!

"What is this?"

Tong Shan lifted his head and blurted out, "Is it a summon from Superior?"

From this moment, the Superior dominated Junlin Cliff City.

Moreover, unlike the usual concealment and wavering, it surprisingly and majestically appeared before everyone's eyes, once again after several months!

It seemed as if it was calling out for something!

Yet, there was no response.

In the lonely rain, after a long time, the shining light faded, and the ruling Superior turned and left, never to appear again.

Only shocked cries and panic-stricken calls suddenly rose from the temporary camp, the crowd in an uproar—because right in mid-air, the collapsing vortex began to shake violently once more.

Finally, completely, it disintegrated!

Beams of intense light erupted from it but were isolated by the surrounding Secret Rituals and blockades, the wind raging, and the storm gradually ceasing.

Everyone was on high alert.

Yet, with the breaking of the Time Ruins, the expected Mutated Pollution did not erupt, nor was there any further trace of evil spirits.

Only a rumbling echo and the roar were left, the last faint reverberating sound.

It was as if it was a satisfied and relieved, gentle sigh.

Carried by the wind, it disappeared and was seen no more.

Then, from the disturbed glimmer, the silhouettes of a dozen people began to emerge, some whole, some fragmented, awkward or serene... The Chosen Ones had returned!

And everyone's gaze was already drawn to the figure at the very front.

Blood-stained robes fluttered in the wind.

His chest badge danced.

Holding a heavily spiritually sealed iron box, Ji Jue, bathed in drizzle, strode forward, and amidst everyone's gaze, he walked toward Tong Shan.

"The flesh tainted with the Undying Disease is all here, handed over to the Security Bureau."

Without waiting for Tong Shan to ask, Ji Jue spoke, "After checking, just dispose of it. It's not anything good, so don't keep it."

Tong Shan was stunned for a moment, he looked beside him, and immediately a person encased in a protective suit rushed forward, took the iron box, and dashed into the isolation building nearby.

It wasn't long before, amid the alarm, several people rushed in as well.

All fell quiet.

At last, only one person's shadow appeared behind the window, gesturing to Tong Shan.

[No leak risk]

Tong Shan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He glared at Tong Hua hiding behind Ji Jue and decided not to say anything on this occasion but simply asked, "What exactly happened?"

"It was a training story that lasted far too long, couldn't make a light comedy, nor was it family-friendly; just bloody and tearful hospital life."

Ji Jue shrugged slightly, stating plainly, "The culprits behind the scenes are the Evil Cult, the situation in Cliff City is not an isolated case; trouble lies in Spring City. They have already penetrated deep into the Spring City Cave, and it's definitely not just one person... There might be some large-scale action soon.

I hope the Security Bureau prepares early."

Hearing this, Tong Shan's originally calm mind became agitated once more, the corner of his eye twitching violently, his expression growing darker: "Are you sure?"

"Isn't the historian right beside us?"

Ji Jue stepped aside and nodded toward Tong Hua, who had witnessed everything: "Ask her."

Tong Hua was shocked and wide-eyed, not expecting that just after coming out of the Time Ruins, she'd be completely sold out by her teammate. But at that moment, familial ties didn't matter to Tong Shan; he waved his hand, and immediately subordinates took Tong Hua away.

It was as though they were arresting a criminal.

If it weren't for the inappropriate situation, Tong Hua might have directly reported for merits: I'm just an accomplice, Ji Jue, this damn guy, is the mastermind!

It was he who blew up the hospital!

Everything relatively intact in the Time Ruins was destroyed by him! Apart from these few Chosen Ones, everyone movable was killed by him!

Why don't you hurry up and catch him!

After sending Tong Hua away, Tong Shan turned around, but he adopted a more amiable face, "How about resting at the Security Bureau tonight? If there are any injuries, we should treat them early.

Just a formality, rest assured, I guarantee there will be no trouble."

"It's appropriate, thank you for your consideration," Ji Jue nodded.

Then, Wen Wen, who was holding back her anger, dragged him aside with a stern face, along with Xiao An, they scrutinized him from head to toe to ensure there were no injuries or residual hazards before she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Taking the opportunity to smoke a cigarette together, she suddenly asked, "Are you sure there's no problem?"

"None, everything is normal."

Ji Jue nodded in assurance, understanding Wen Wen's meaning and concerns, and he hadn't left behind any traceable marks or clues.

Don't ask, if you ask, it's because the teacher gave it! If you ask, it's because the Soul Summoning Bell is awesome! Eh? How did you know I shook out the Saint's Shadow? I survived the Time Ruins, alive, all by my skills and my own efforts!

Once sister Wen sighed in relief, patted his shoulder, and walked away, he turned around and started looking through the crowd.

At last, his gaze fell on a corner.

A bald elderly man, wearing a tank top and slippers, hands in his pockets, was lazily talking to his juniors.

Nearby, several stretchers holding the nearly dead experimental Chosen Ones were still wiping the Little Pearl, glaring at Xie Lan, shouting about some complaints, but no one cared.

Noticing Ji Jue's gaze, Xie Lan gave a slight nod before bidding farewell to Old Zhang, "You guys talk, I'm leaving. There are still rounds to be conducted at the sanatorium today."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Old Zhang waved his hand indifferently, signaling to let Xie Lan go.

When he turned around, he saw Ji Jue handing over a record book and a small box, containing a bone fragment that had flaked off a scalpel.

"What is this?"

Old Zhang, curious, took it and flipped through the record book, his expression instantly changing, "This is outrageous, are you sure?"

"It's theoretically possible, no problems in practice, and it's reproducible."

Ji Jue nodded, "By fusing Mutated Pollution with the Power of Superior, we then extract the Undying Disease, splitting the patient's spiritual essence... It's not exactly a cure, it's merely an effective way to kill the patient.

I, a newbie, managed to do it, so others should be able to with practice.

But, after a lot of consideration, I couldn't find anyone else suitable... so, I have to trouble you to take this to someone who's truly reliable."

Old Zhang pondered for a long while, pulled out his reading glasses, and scrutinized the record book Tong Hua had prepared. After a while, he sighed softly, "Who researched this?"

"Of course, it was a doctor."

Ji Jue firmly replied, telling him, "The best doctor in the world."

Old Zhang fell silent, carefully tucking the record book and box into his pocket.

"Leave it to me," he assured, "I will discuss this well with a few neurologists I know."

Ji Jue nodded, then said no more.

In this long and protracted night, he leaned against the wall, quietly blowing the cold, distant wind, squinting his eyes.

On his chest, a blood-stained badge swayed with the wind.

Like a dance.

After a long time, the wind stopped, and the sparse rain followed the dark clouds away, and in the neon reflection from afar, the starry sky was brilliant.

He raised his head, gazing at the sky.

It seemed he saw specks of light rising from the night sky, merging into the dazzling array of stars, indistinguishable from one another.

Turning back, looking towards the mortal world, he saw Ji Jue, looking up at them, shining ever more brightly.

As if in the blink of an eye.

Ji Jue raised his hand and waved at them.

He smiled.
