84: Chapter 84 The Past of Spiritual Qi Revival

After the voice fell, the old man's figure disappeared from the hall.

"Alright, we can go too!" Meng Jianmin patted Lu Siye on the shoulder and was the first to exit the virtual space.

Taking a glance at the crowd that had already become sparse, Lu Siye also took off his VR glasses.

"Speaking of which, if we are using VR to attend the meeting, why do we need to come to this room? Wouldn't it be fine to just stay in the previous conference hall?" Lu Siye asked Huang Hongjiang beside him, looking at the device in his hands.

"The Evil Suppression Bureau's meetings require a special signal frequency to join. This room is specially made, and external signals cannot enter. Logging in here is for safety; after all, some hackers have quite impressive skills," Huang Hongjiang explained.

"The team composition and your respective patrol areas have already been sent to your personal exorcism app. The Spiritual Energy Revival will happen either tonight or tomorrow night, so everyone must remain vigilant."

After collecting the VR equipment, Meng Jianmin said to everyone.

"This operation counts as a collective mission. All points and bonuses for killing Ghosts will be calculated at double the rate. Except for those whose strength is at the Peak of a Night Wanderer, everyone else should head to their positions!"

As the voice fell, the crowd quickly dispersed.

It was already dusk, and they had to rush to their respective patrol positions immediately.

Lu Siye took out his phone and glanced at the map of his patrol area, which was about one-fifth of the West District. Tongjiang Residential Area was also within his patrol range.

At this moment, he was not within his patrol area. Around his location, there were many green dots flashing; those were other members of the Evil Suppression Bureau.

"Lu Siye, this time, you will be in charge of guarding the Yin Spirit Fang Lanyue. If she has any ulterior motives while executing the mission, don't hesitate, just kill her."

In the corridor, Meng Jianmin called out to Lu Siye, pointed at the suitcase in his hand, and said softly.

"I understand!" Lu Siye nodded.

For the Evil Suppression Bureau, they only needed Yin Spirits that were obedient and followed the rules; they didn't need traitors.

The setting sun gradually dipped below the horizon, and the dark night sky covered the heavens. A mass of dark clouds obscured the moon, and the bright moonlight plated a silver edge around it.

Under the night sky, Lu Siye carried a sword case on his back and held the limp Fang Lanyue in his hand, arriving at the roof of the Tianhai City National Hospital.

Putting down the Fang Lanyue in his hand, Lu Siye gazed at the endless stream of vehicles below. He slowly sat cross-legged and pushed his perception to the maximum.

The hospital was a place accustomed to life and death, where stories of separation and death played out almost every day. It was considered one of the places with heavy Yin Qi and one of the areas where Ghosts were most likely to appear.

After patrolling once and finding no Ghosts, Lu Siye prepared to guard here for a while longer.

The limp Fang Lanyue slowly crawled up from the ground. She cautiously glanced at Lu Siye, then used her hands and feet to reach the edge of the roof to look down.

Is this a hospital?

After seeing the scenery downstairs clearly, Fang Lanyue finally set her hanging heart at ease.

She had just thought that the Great Demon King was going to take her to an uninhabited place, chop her into seven or eight pieces, and finally destroy the evidence.

I thought I was going to die again; that scared me to death!

She snuck another glance at Lu Siye. That Great Demon King didn't seem to notice me. Can I sneak down to play?

Fang Lanyue was secretly delighted. She tiptoed to a position where he couldn't see her and arrived at the edge of the roof, preparing to go down.

Whoosh!

A Tang Hengdao filled with a scorching aura descended from the sky and instantly stabbed into the ground in front of Fang Lanyue.

[Oh my god! I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Fear value +99!]

Fang Lanyue plopped onto the ground, looking at Lu Siye with a panicked expression.

That Great Demon King still maintained his posture, but the sword case on his back had been opened at some unknown time.

Although Lu Siye didn't say a word, his actions had very straightforwardly told her.

Dare to cross this sword, and you die!

Fang Lanyue timidly came to Lu Siye's side and sat down with a wronged expression, no longer thinking about sneaking off to play.

One side was fun, the other side was her life; she could still tell which was more important.

Seeing that Fang Lanyue had no other small tricks, under the control of the "Dragon Capturing Skill", the blazing blood saber pulled itself from the ground, flew back, and landed in the sword case.

Lu Siye, while expanding his perception to monitor all possible Yin Qi reactions, took out his phone and opened a messaging app, intending to ask Brother Meng about the anti-invasion war from back then.

"Brother Meng, the Evil Suppression Bureau is so powerful, why did the Nine Provinces suffer repeated defeats in the early stages of that anti-invasion war back then?"

After thinking for a while and deleting the message several times, Lu Siye ultimately chose a straightforward way to ask.

"This matter is related to the previous Spiritual Energy Revival."

Not long after, Meng Jianmin replied.

Lu Siye keenly captured the key information. The three words "previous one" indicated that the Spiritual Energy Revival had occurred more than once in history.

"Has there been many Spiritual Energy Revivals in history?"

"Of course. In the records of the Evil Suppression Bureau, ever since Spiritual Qi began to decline during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, basically every change of a large Dynasty in history has been accompanied by a Spiritual Energy Revival."

"It's just that most of the time, the Spiritual Energy Revival only proceeded to the first stage before the Spiritual Qi began to wither again. It rarely sustained itself until the second Spiritual Energy Revival."

Lu Siye was stunned. The amount of information was a bit overwhelming; he needed some time to digest it.

According to what Brother Meng said, Blue Star or the Nine Provinces must have been incredibly abundant with Spiritual Qi before, but some unknown change occurred during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, leading to the decline of Spiritual Qi.

Could the Investiture of the Gods be real? Not just a myth?

Are there really Immortals in this world?

Lu Siye looked up at the sky. He was thinking about one thing now: could the System on him be related to those ethereal Immortals?

"Then why did the Spiritual Qi begin to decline? Could it be related to the Immortals in myths and legends?" Lu Siye continued to ask.

"I don't know. The records regarding the decline of Spiritual Qi have already been lost."

"As for the Immortals you speak of, powerful Day Tour Envoys can walk on air. Isn't that just what the ancients considered Earthly Immortals!"

"So-called Immortals are actually just powerful human practitioners."

That's right!

Lu Siye suddenly realized. Not to mention Day Tour Envoys, even someone with the strength of a Night Wanderer would likely be regarded as an Immortal if placed in ancient times.

"Brother Meng, what exactly happened during the last Spiritual Energy Revival?"
