Ming Huan soon arrived where Simon was.
It was a military base in the suburbs of Beijing.
From the outside, the military base looks like an ordinary small building. There are armed police guarding the door with guns. It is definitely not possible for ordinary people to enter.
Even for ordinary demons, it is difficult to enter, because the gate is designed according to the Five Elements and Eight Diagrams, and there is a demon-sealing array at the entrance. Every demon that attempts to break in will be affected by this array. Those with low Taoism will directly show their true form, and those with high Taoism will trigger the alarm device.
But this only applies to other demons.
For Ming Huan, whose true form is a black cat, this is not a problem at all.
Ming Huan restrained all the evil spirit in his body and walked in with a swagger.
No one would stop a cat, especially a good-looking cat.
Soon, Ming Huan jumped onto the windowsill, crossed the corridor, easily passed through various magic mirrors and revelation arrays, and came to the room where Simon was.
In fact, it was not a room, but a meeting room located at the center of the formation.
The door of the conference room was ajar, and the black cat slipped in quietly with a gentle rub.
The moment he saw the figure he'd been thinking about day and night, sitting at the conference table, Ming Huan suddenly felt tears welling up in his eyes. Dominating the world, slaughtering monks, commanding demons—none of that could compare to nestling in that man's arms, being caressed by him.
Ming Huan was about to step forward, but the next second, its whiskers trembled and it whooshed into the curtain beside it.
Footsteps were heard outside the door, and everyone in the conference room temporarily stopped discussing and looked towards the door.
Three people walked in from the doorway. One of them was well-proportioned, with hair neatly tied back. He was wearing a purple robe and holding a whisk, looking like a master. It was none other than Master Zibai!
Standing next to Master Zibai were his eighteenth-generation disciple Yue Ai and Simon's acquaintance, his junior sister Zhao Lingling.
Simon was a little surprised. He glanced at Colonel Huo Mingsheng, the host of the meeting.
The reason why Huo Mingsheng chaired this meeting was very simple: there had been unrest everywhere recently, and many of the nominal exorcists in the Security Department had mysteriously disappeared. Since his subordinates were not capable enough, he had no choice but to ask someone with stronger abilities to help and solve the problem.
Yue Ai was Huo Mingsheng's subordinate. When he received the news, he was studying with Master Zibai. He immediately asked his great-grandmaster to come out of seclusion.
When Zibai Zhenren arrived, Huo Mingsheng quickly stood up and went forward to shake his hand. Zibai Zhenren ignored him and sat down across from Simon. He completely ignored the other people in the meeting and said directly, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to give me psychological treatment. I've found a 24-hour psychologist!"
Simon looked at his junior sister. He wasn't sure how Zhao Lingling ended up with Yue Ai and Zibai Zhenren, but Qianlan carefully reminded Simon, "Master, Zibai Zhenren's cultivation has recovered a lot."
Zhao Lingling held Yue Ai's arm with one hand, looked at him lovingly, and ignored Simon completely.
Simon continued the meeting seriously.
In addition to Simon and Zibai Zhenren, there were more than ten practitioners present. After reading the information provided by Huo Mingsheng, they were expressing their opinions. They were interrupted by Zibai Zhenren and continued to express their views.
Some say that this year is the Wuxu year and the world is about to be in chaos, so they need to adjust feng shui and rebuild the founding statue to suppress evil spirits.
Some say that it is because we are in the Dharma-Ending Age and need to rectify the situation and reorganize the internal affairs.
Others say that it is because those practitioners have low abilities and that more efforts should be made in their training.
Huo Mingsheng looked at Simon and asked, "Teacher Simon, what do you think?"
Simon shook his head blankly. He really didn't know what had happened. He said, "I don't know. I'm just a psychiatrist. Although I've seen a few monsters, no one has ever mentioned this to me. And we don't talk about it in the clinic..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Master Zibai knocking on the conference table with his whisk.
True Man Zibai said, "I'm very familiar with this style! A thousand years ago, the human world was like this too. Taoist priests died, monks were injured, and the exorcist family was almost wiped out! It's simple. The Supreme Being of the Demon Realm, Ming Huan, is stirring up trouble again!"
When Master Zibai said this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Although he had been defeated by the Demon Lord twice, all of this was already in the past.
Not long ago, his eighteenth-generation disciple Yue Ai found him and helped him capture monsters and refine elixirs, which had greatly improved his skills. Among these monsters, he also discovered a monster who studied psychotherapy - Zhao Lingling, the Painted Skin.
Zibai Zhenren suddenly seemed to be assisted by God, and Zhao Lingling used all her life's knowledge to survive. Whether Zibai Zhenren was irritable, depressed, or even unable to break through due to some psychological trauma, Zhao Lingling would promptly resolve the knot in her heart.
In just a few months, Zibai Zhenren's power had mostly returned, and he had already recovered to the Nascent Soul stage, ready to enter the Spiritual Transformation stage. As for Demon Lord Minghuan, I heard that he had been feeling down and out lately, and his power hadn't improved much. He was no match for him any longer!
Huo Mingsheng heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that True Man Zibai knew so much about the Demon Lord. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "True Man, the cultivators are facing a problem now. Do you still need to help?"
Zibai Zhenren sneered: "Oh, not interested!"
At that time, there were a few cultivators who were dissatisfied and wanted to teach the arrogant Zibai Zhenren a lesson, but in the blink of an eye, they were all taught a lesson and sat quietly in their chairs.
Qianlan was even more quiet at this moment, entering the machine with a low sound of hard drive rotation, and just carefully typed a line of words in front of Simon: Master, be careful, the current strength of this Zibai Zhenren is probably even stronger than our Xiaohei.
Simon silently closed the laptop in front of him and just happened to see Huo Mingsheng winking at him.
Simon pondered and said, "Then what are you interested in? Perhaps Colonel Huo can provide you with something that is difficult to achieve alone."
Of course, state machines have their own strengths compared to practitioners.
But Master Zibai looked Simon up and down and sneered again, "Don't think I'm here to help you. I don't care how many people die. They are just ants. A day earlier or later will not hinder my ascension."
Simon stopped talking. He looked at Zhao Lingling. He didn't know how Zhao Lingling had brainwashed Master Zibai these days.
Zhao Lingling stuck out her tongue at Simon and blinked.
Soon, Simon received a text message from Zhao Lingling on his phone: "Brother, I have a boyfriend! Is he very handsome?"
Simon replied with an "Oh". Yue Ai did look good, tall and strong with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although she was not his type, maybe that was Zhao Lingling's aesthetic taste.
Zhao Lingling said, "I would do anything to be happy with my boyfriend. If Master Zibai could ascend to heaven earlier, my boyfriend and I could be together forever."
Simon recovered with another "Oh".
As a psychotherapist for Zibai Zhenren, she believed that if she could help him in this matter, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort. However, when this psychotherapist has her own plans, the ideas she implants in the patient can be very scary.
For example, Master Zibai was completely brainwashed: "This Master only cares about how to ascend to heaven, so the most important thing is to capture a few powerful monsters to refine pills. Those ordinary mortals, even if they all die, have nothing to do with this Master."
Huo Mingsheng and Simon looked at each other.
Simon couldn't help but say, "The real man is so frank and means what he says!"
Zibai Zhenren smiled and said, "Anyway, no one here is my match. There's nothing to worry about, so there's no need to pretend. It's just a matter of discarding the false and retaining the true. You guys chat, I'll wait here for the great demon."
Huo Mingsheng couldn't help but ask, "Master, how did you know the great demon was coming?"
True Man Zibai put away the whisk in his hand and stood up: "You are discussing how to deal with the Demon Lord. Do you think he will sit and wait for death? Maybe he has already arrived..." Before he finished speaking, the whisk suddenly flew out and flew towards the corner of the wall.
The window in the corner of the wall also began to move at this moment, and a black shadow flashed out from behind the curtains. The black shadow did not pounce on Master Zibai, but directly pounced on Simon.
"Meow~!" A cat meowed, and a black gas came out of the black cat's mouth, forcibly stopping the hand that Zibai Zhenren was extending towards Simon.
This moment happened so fast that before everyone could react, Master Zibai and the black cat faced each other.
In mid-air, the giant hand transformed by the Purple White Immortal just covered Simon's head.
The black gas coming out of the black cat's mouth was also trying its best to resist the huge hand.
Even a fool could see that Master Zibai's real target was not the black cat in the corner, but Simon who was sitting there.
This is also true. Although Master Zibai is now stronger than the Demon Lord, he was beaten and scared and has a psychological trauma. So his attack on Ming Huan was fake, and capturing Simon was the real thing!
But he didn't expect Ming Huan to see through his conspiracy. He didn't avoid the attack of the whisk at all, but protected Simon first.
Now that the two of them are at a stalemate, they can only ask these mortals with low levels of Taoism for help.
Zibai Zhenren chuckled and glanced at Simon behind the black cat: "Don't ask me why I captured you! I've always read the posts on the demon forum! You are the Demon Lord's favorite. If you capture me, I can tell him to do whatever he wants!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene looked at Simon, showing an expression of eagerness to try.
Huo Mingsheng would not miss this good opportunity. He pulled out the gun from his waist and fired a warning shot. Immediately, a large number of armed police and plainclothes officers rushed in from outside the door. The sound of the bolts being pulled immediately controlled everyone else at the scene.
Huo Mingsheng walked towards Simon: "Teacher Simon, I will be responsible for protecting your safety."
Simon hated Master Zibai to death in his heart. Has this guy gone crazy in order to ascend to heaven?
But there was nothing he could do now. Huo Mingsheng was the strongest person present and could snatch the person away. He could only nod and say, "Okay."
Unexpectedly, six shadows suddenly appeared in the air. They surrounded Simon. The air was filled with black fog and no one could see the direction.
True Man Zibai snorted, and once again raised the whisk lying in the corner, rushing towards the six black shadows.
Soon, the six black shadows were fighting with the whisk, and in this battle, Simon was forced to hug Qianlan and squat in the corner.
"Yue Ai!" shouted Zibai Zhenren.
Yue Ai immediately stepped forward and wanted to grab Simon, but as he stretched out his hand, Zhao Lingling grabbed the corner of his clothes.
Zhao Lingling said: "This is my senior brother, don't hurt him!"
Yue Ai began to feel torn and didn't know who to listen to. Suddenly, Master Zibai let out a long roar towards the sky, and a purple stone pot shot out of his mouth and rose into the air.
The stone pot kept changing in mid-air, becoming bigger and bigger, and the mouth of the pot turned upside down and pressed towards Ming Huan.
"Don't waste your energy, Ming Huan! Last time, I lost all my mana and you took the lead. This time, you are clearly ahead but you are not practicing seriously. You will be knocked into my alchemy pot!"
Immortal Zibai waved his hand, and bursts of purple flames came out of the stone pot. Stronger and stronger winds blew from the pot mouth. People and objects within a radius of thousands of meters were blown into the air by the wind caused by the giant pot, even Simon was no exception.
True Man Zibai recited the incantation again. Although this stone pot looked a bit shabby, it had been with him for tens of thousands of years and was an incredible magical weapon. He had been unable to use it before due to his declining power, but now he could finally use it, and it would be extremely powerful once he used it.
At this moment, the wind direction in the stone pot reversed, and huge air currents rushed into the pot, sucking people and objects in the air into the pot.
Simon, who was in mid-air, was involuntarily flying towards the mouth of the pot while holding the computer. As he watched the purple flames in the pot rolling outwards, devouring and burning the people who had been sucked in, his waist suddenly tightened.
Simon looked down and saw that the black cat's body had grown several times larger, with its huge tail curling in the air. The thick furry rope that was holding his waist was the black cat's tail.
Bang!
The black cat used its tail to pull Simon out of the suction range of the giant pot alive. At the same time, it let out a howl, and a black lightning flashed across the sky and came straight down, hitting the huge stone pot.
Boom boom boom!
There was a continuous series of explosions, and Simon felt as if the universe was exploding before his eyes. The 30,000-year-old magic stone pot was shattered by Ming Huan's move of destroying everything together with the heaven and earth.
The moment the stone pot shattered, a huge shock wave came towards everyone. Zibai Zhenren's face changed drastically. He looked at the black cat with insufficient magic power in disbelief, his mouth wide open, "Ming Huan, when will you master it..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Master Zibai and Yue Ai and Zhao Lingling beside him were sucked into the center of the explosion and disappeared.
But the explosion did not stop, but became more violent. The black cat turned around and saw the unconscious Simon. It grabbed Simon and prepared to run away, but the force at the center of the explosion was even more powerful.
"Damn it! If I were in my prime, I wouldn't..." Ming Huan felt a burning wave coming towards him. He quickly arched his body and used his four paws to protect Simon under his belly, which was the safest and softest part of his body.
A louder explosion sounded at his back. Ming Huan closed his eyes. He, Simon and Qianlan were also swallowed by the exploding stone pot.
The explosion lasted for three full days. When the stationed troops were able to get a little closer to the center of the explosion, they saw a huge dazzling ball of light and a deep pit of dozens of meters that was almost blown through.
Soon, the scientists involved came to a conclusion about this special explosion.
There must have been some nuclear weapon exploding, but the scope of the explosion was concentrated to such a small extent only because of some special force.
It is estimated that it will take ten days for the huge fireball to be completely burned out as fuel.
Huo Mingsheng, who had narrowly escaped death, asked unwillingly, "Such a strange phenomenon in the suburbs of Beijing is hard to explain, right?"
The white-haired scientist rolled his eyes at Huo Mingsheng. "It's hard to explain? If it weren't for that mysterious force restraining us, an explosion of this magnitude would have wiped out the Earth! If it were an ordinary explosion in the universe, it would be at the level of a black hole. Do you know what a black hole is? You're so lucky!"
Huo Mingsheng nodded. His major was not astrophysics, and he had only heard about black holes - they were time tunnels.
When Simon opened his eyes, he was stunned.
Before him lay a vast forest. Thick leaves blocked out the sunlight, making the surroundings seem rather dark. He looked around and noticed that the trees were all incredibly large, covered in vines, making it look like a primeval forest. Because the trees never saw sunlight, there was no grass beneath them, only some wild fungi growing everywhere.
Simon took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the strong smell of the forest.
He moved and found that he was unharmed, but was surrounded by a furry thing.
Simon crawled out of the furry thing and found that he was surrounded by a huge black feline.
It was very big, twice as big as a tiger, but its ears were pointed. There were many wounds on its back caused by something, some of which were burnt and some were still bleeding.
Simon turned to the head of the huge feline. The big cat's eyelids opened slightly at this moment, and there seemed to be a smile in its green eyes.
Simon recognized him immediately: "Blackie!"
The big cat closed its eyes. Simon reached out and pushed its paw, but it didn't move.
"What's going on? Where are we?" Simon was confused.
At this moment, a young man wearing a plaid shirt, black-framed glasses and a messy hair came out from behind the giant cat.
He adjusted his glasses and said seriously, "Thanks to Master for holding me in his arms at the critical moment, I was able to wake up first. I've already observed this forest. According to the information on my 500TB hard drive, we are currently in the suburbs of Beijing 30,000 years ago. Yes, look, there are saber-toothed tigers over there."
"Thirty...thirty thousand years ago?" Simon was stunned.
Light Blue kindly reminded, "Yes, it's the period of True Man Zibai—the period of the primitive people in the Upper Cave. Don't be surprised, our primary concern right now is that Xiao Hei is seriously injured and probably dying soon. We need to get him treated quickly. Otherwise, if he dies, we two modern people won't be able to move a single step here. That saber-tooth tiger over there looks like it's starving."
