Chapter 229: Is Du Bai Advancing?

Mei Gongzi did not dare to delay. Being too close to the ancestral home of the Wind Wolf clan was not a good idea. The sooner she left, the less likely she was to expose herself.

Asura silently disappeared into the Kali Mountains. He did not head straight back to the Redemption Academy, because he sensed someone tracking him. He did not know who it was, but he could feel that this person had come with Mei Gongzi. It was certainly someone from Mei Gongzi\'s side—in other words, a member of the Redemption Society.

He slightly revealed a hint of his divine consciousness, then sped up his departure. The aura of the other party quickly vanished, and it appeared that they had given up the pursuit.

Despite this, to be cautious, he still chose to enter the Kali Mountains and inform his master. One reason was to discuss with his master how to respond if Mei Gongzi inquired about his identity, and the other was to ask him to return to Redemption Academy to help with Mu Yunyu\'s treatment.

Every so often, Asura silently stopped to check if he was being followed. With his ninth-order spiritual power, that bit of divine consciousness, and the Discerning Eye of Heaven\'s premonition of danger, even a god-level cultivator would find it difficult to track him without being detected.

After checking ten times over to confirm that no one was following him, he arrived at the pond where the Golden Wood was planted.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had become somewhat richer, but given the short amount of time, the Golden Wood showed little change.

Asura transformed back into the normal Tang San, then woke Mayor Zhang from meditation.

“Why have you come in the middle of the night?” Zhang Haoxuan asked, puzzled, looking at him.

Tang San did not hide anything from him and recounted how he had secretly helped Mei Gongzi assassinate a mighty demon clan warrior.

“You reckless dumbass, who allowed you to get involved?” Zhang Haoxuan barked upon hearing his story.

“I was worried she might leave loose ends and end up being discovered,” Tang San explained.

Zhang Haoxuan frowned deeply. “Whether it’s you or her, to the organization, to all of humanity, you are the hope for the future. She has her mission, and you have yours. Do you understand? Staying alive is the most important thing for you. What if you were exposed? What if you encountered a god?”

Tang San said, “Today, I felt that someone secretly protected Mei Gongzi and even followed me for a while. They seemed to be a god-level cultivator. But then they stopped following me. Could it be the other Blue-Class member from our Kali City?”

Zhang Haoxuan gave him a deep look. “You are truly intelligent. But don’t let your intelligence lead you astray, understand? The time when you are most likely to fail is when you are most confident.”

Tang San smiled bitterly. “I understand. Master, if that Blue-Class Redeemer asks about me, I’ll have to trouble you to cover for me.”

Zhang Haoxuan fell silent.

After a long moment, he said, "You\'re still young, and I understand why you’re unable to resist revealing your abilities. You need to hide them, and you need to hide them well. That\'s also my fault; you usually act so maturely. I didn\'t expect you to show your abilities before Mei Gongzi. What if she reports your actions to the Society? What if the Society comes to me for verification? Have you thought about that?"

Tang San earnestly replied, "I believe Mei Gongzi is completely trustworthy. I can guess that her goal is the position of Kali City\'s lord. Everything she\'s doing now should be in pursuit of this most important mission. I just wanted to help her."

Zhang Haoxuan fell silent once again.

This time, the silence lasted even longer.

Tang San did not disturb him, knowing he couldn\'t rely solely on himself for everything and he indeed needed assistance with these matters. His teammates from Redemption Academy were still too young and lacking in ability. The mayor\'s help was especially crucial for him at this stage.

"Fine, it is what it is. I will explain it to the Society if needed. However, you must promise me that you will always take good care of yourself. I believe you are even more important than Mei Gongzi, understand?" Zhang Haoxuan said gravely.

Tang San naturally understood his meaning, but it was also natural that to him, Mei Gongzi was the most important.

"The recent two attacks should draw Kali City\'s attention, and I\'ll advise them to refrain from taking further action for now. You should stay put and focus on improving your cultivation. That\'s the most important thing for you."

Tang San also mentioned Mu Yunyu\'s situation, prompting Zhang Haoxuan to wake Red One from her meditation and inform her that he and Tang San were returning, instructing them to continue guarding this place. Then, the two of them returned to Redemption Academy under the cover of night.

Everything seemed to return to normal.

Kali Academy was like a peaceful haven where outside influence did not reach, though Tang San did hear some students discussing the assassination of the Wind Wolf King.

Mei Gongzi returned to her usual classes, and Sweeper Tang noticed that he was seeing her more often as days passed.

Tang San did not know how Zhang Haoxuan explained things to the other Redemption Society members, but everything seemed to stabilize afterward.

That was until a week later.

While Tang San was sweeping the square before the main teaching building, he suddenly saw Old Mao hurrying toward him. From a distance, Old Mao gestured to him.

Tang San quickly ran over. "Old Mao, what\'s wrong? Don\'t worry."

"Quick, go back to the town. The mayor sent someone with a message saying there\'s an urgent matter for you," Old Mao said, somewhat out of breath.

An urgent matter? Tang San\'s heart tightened, and without delay, he bid farewell to Old Mao, left Kali Academy, and headed straight for Academy Town.

Was there some kind of incident? Could it be that the officials of Kali City had discovered Redemption Academy?

As soon as he entered the small town of the academy, he saw Zhang Haoxuan waiting there with an anxious expression. Zhang Haoxuan\'s words immediately calmed him down.

"Follow me quickly. Du Bai is about to make a breakthrough. But it seems there are some problems."

Problems? Is Du Bai breaking through to the fifth order?

Tang San didn\'t ask any questions and immediately followed Zhang Haoxuan back to Redemption Academy.

As he approached the academy, Tang San could distinctly feel a slight change in the spiritual power surrounding his forehead, as if something was pulling at him.

When they arrived at Du Bai\'s room, Tang San was startled by the scene before him.

Du Bai was sitting cross-legged on the ground, shaking uncontrollably. Sweat was pouring out like water, and his clothes were completely soaked through. His spiritual fluctuations were extremely violent and unstable.

Several teachers were by his side. Si Ru was sitting behind him, his right hand pressed against Du Bai\'s back, and he was slowly infusing his bloodline power into Du Bai\'s body.

Spiritual power could not be interfered with lightly, as it could easily lead to severe problems. Thus, all Si Ru could do was stabilize Du Bai\'s bloodline fluctuations.

Du Bai\'s eyes were open, with white light continuously flowing and dissipating from his eyes. The volatile fluctuations seemed to pull at the luck around him. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth around the room was being stirred violently but was not entering his body.

Mu Enqing and Mu Yunyu wore tense faces. Guan Longjiang was even pacing back and forth nearby. But facing Du Bai\'s condition, they were all at a loss, unsure what to do.

Seeing the mayor arrive with Tang San, Guan Longjiang quickly stepped forward, whispering to Zhang Haoxuan, "The situation isn\'t good. His spiritual power is freaking unstable now. The child was too hasty. He shouldn\'t have eaten that Purple Sun Fruit so quickly. It feels like he\'s hit a bottleneck, and his spiritual power is too great and it’s trying to force a breakthrough. His bloodline power and spiritual power both surged at the same time and they seem to be resonating, and it looks like he can\'t withstand it. What should we do?"
