"The infection spread to the front lines in Snow City and Penglai City."
"There's also a small group of strange beasts probing and attacking."
"The front lines at Penglai City are in complete chaos."
Upon hearing the Dharma King's account, Qin Ze's face was filled with gloom.
When did it start?
The Dharma King said, "Just now."
Qin Ze closed his eyes.
Shortly after the death of the Primarch, the Grand Consul, the "plague" broke out in Snow City and Penglai City.
Qin Ze opened his eyes and said, "There's a second original body."
The Dharma King spoke up, "Should I activate the portal now and let Brother Devour and the others come over?"
Qin Ze shook his head. "The original body is still here, so even if Brother Devour and the others come, it's just a waste of time."
"Just guard the portal and wait for my orders."
Immediately, Qin Ze said to the Passerby A and the Fairy, "You two go to the Yin-Yang Temple first."
" Snow City has seen a large-scale outbreak of infections; I need to find the Primarch first."
Passerby A exclaimed in surprise, "There's a second Primarch?"
The Fairy's brow furrowed with worry. "In this vast sea of people, how can we find the original body?"
Qin Ze's voice was somewhat hoarse. "I think I know who the Primarch is."
The Grand Consul was the first Primarch.
Of those who had contact with him, went to Snow City, and possessed other Primarchal attributes, only... remained.
Qin Ze used the Red Shell to instantly return to Snow City.
The moment he stood on the streets of Snow City, he found that the unrest had subsided.
The men in gray coats are cleaning up the bodies of the infected.
An extremely heavy and sorrowful atmosphere permeated the city.
The Dharma King said, "Those infected individuals have lost their ability to transmit the virus."
Qin Ze nodded slightly. "I understand."
Walking along the snow-covered streets, Qin Ze made his way to the inn next to the tavern.
Arriving at the door of the innermost room on the second floor, Qin Ze took a deep breath and pushed open the tightly closed door.
The next second, a pungent smell of blood hit us.
Number Three lay on the bed, his hands tightly gripping the short sword stuck in his chest.
Blood stained the bed, dripping onto the floor and forming shocking red streams.
Qin Ze walked to the head of the bed and sat down expressionlessly.
Number Three had his eyes closed, a slight smile playing on his lips.
On the bedside table, a black Image Recording Stone.
Qin Ze gently patted the stone, and the figure of Number Three was projected out from it.
Number Three was seen leaning against the headboard, holding a standard-issue short sword used by Law Enforcement.
A black, smiling face was raised high on his chest, chuckling eerily.
Number Three's voice trembled slightly. " Qin Ze, we've all been deceived by Him."
"My abilities are insufficient to purify this Corruption."
"He deceived both me and the Grand Consul, deliberately bringing me to Snow City."
"His target is the Saber King."
Number Three smiled wryly, " The Grand Consul is probably already infected as well."
"I can feel a very deep connection between myself and the infected people in the city."
"Once I die, this disaster will be over."
Number Three's hand gripping the short sword trembled. He shook his head. "I'm fucking scared!"
" Qin Ze, isn't it shameful that I'm afraid of dying?"
That distorted smiling face lifted up, and it winked at Number Three.
It seems to be saying: Let it go, we are only complete when we are together.
The screen remained frozen for a full half minute.
Number Three's eyes suddenly sharpened.
" The Cang River bears witness that I, Xiao Lingyu, will defend the law and justice for life."
Bang--
Number Three suddenly plunged his short sword into the black smiling face in his chest.
Although Number Three can remain conscious due to his innate abilities, as the Primarch, his mind has been invaded.
The Human Race Law Enforcement personality and the Primarch personality are vying for control of the right hand.
The blade was only half an inch away from the black smiling face, but it could not go any further down.
"To fight for order... and human rights for life!"
Number Three gritted his teeth, resisting the Primarch's personality, and slowly stabbed down with the short sword.
"Eliminate evil in the world, uphold the sanctity of the law!"
puff--
The short sword plunged fiercely into the black-faced man.
The smile on his face vanished, replaced by terror.
It emitted a series of piercing shrieks.
The Primarch's personality erupted, and he tried to control his right hand to draw the short sword.
Number Three's body trembled violently, and a surge of Vast Righteous Qi erupted from within him, with the same Xiezhi Heroic Spirit as the Grand Consul appearing behind him.
"Under the principles of justice, righteousness is immortal!"
puff--
The entire sword pierced his chest, and the sword energy within it erupted, shredding his internal organs.
The black smiling face stopped its shrieking abruptly and slowly descended into darkness.
Number Three leaned against the headboard, barely breathing.
He struggled to raise his right hand and gave Qin Ze a thumbs up.
"See, I haven't forgotten what I said that night."
"I... didn't... disgrace our Jiang City, did I...?"
Number Three's body slid off the headboard, and the recording by the Image Recording Stone came to an end.
Qin Ze took a deep breath and activated the recording function of the Image Recording Stone.
" The Cang River bears witness that I, Qin Ze, do not use my martial arts background to bully the weak, nor do I consider myself superior because of my martial arts skills."
"To establish a moral compass for heaven and earth, and to secure a destiny for Human Race."
"All my actions... have been without shame in my heart."
Even if it leads to an Abyss, I will bring a ray of light into that Abyss.
Half an hour later, Qin Ze walked out of the inn, a powerful killing intent emanating from him.
Lao Dao, who had been waiting nearby, came over and said, "I was also hit, but it didn't penetrate deep into the bone marrow; it was blocked by the skin and flesh, so it's nothing serious."
Qin Ze nodded. "How is the situation in Penglai City?"
Lao Dao sighed, "The situation is not optimistic."
"Half of the soldiers were infected, a third of whom were incurable, and the remaining two-thirds will need some time to recover."
" Penglai City is currently poorly defended, and I have already begun to redeploy city defense troops from various locations."
Qin Ze immediately said, "The city defense troops cannot be redeployed."
It is not yet possible to determine whether there is a third Primarch.
"With the city's garrison in place, each city's anchor remains."
"If another Tide breaks out at this time, and the city's defense forces have already been mobilized, how will the city defend itself?"
Lao Dao frowned. "But what about Penglai City?"
Qin Ze looked into the Saber King's eyes and asked, " Lao Dao, do you believe me?"
The Saber King nodded.
Qin Ze said, "We'll create the illusion that Penglai City is in chaos."
Some Clown will just pop up on their own.
Lao Dao didn't quite understand what Qin Ze meant.
Qin Ze said calmly, "The speed at which this plague is spreading is extraordinary. It couldn't have spread so quickly in Penglai City without the help of traitors."
The disaster in Snow City was brought about by Primarch #2, Old Xiao.
Upon learning of the situation from Number Three, Lao Dao immediately sealed off the Abyss Gate to ensure that Penglai City remained Corruption.
The Abyss Gate was clearly severed, yet the scale of the infection in Penglai City was even larger than that in Snow City.
Lao Dao realized what was happening. "I know what to do."
Looking at Qin Ze's desolate and frail figure, Lao Dao was filled with mixed emotions.
"Where did you go?"
Qin Ze paused, then said, "Godslayer."
