”Mother? What's wrong?” Duan Li asked, feeling baffled on why his mother suddenly retreated and acted that way.
”T-That black monster core!” the Principal narrowed his eyes menacingly as his hands immediately moved to create a series of hand seals.
Spatial sealing!
Weengg!!
The infected monster core floated off from Duan Li's hands before it was encassed in a spatial barrier in an instant.
”Where did you get this blackened monster core?” the Principal turned to Duan Li and questioned him with a serious expression.
Feeling utterly confused by their exaggerated reaction, Duan Li scratched his head as he answered, ”Oh that? It was actually just a normal monster core before.. it turned black after I treated Zhuge Liang with it!”
Hearing this, a surprised look was seen from the Principal's face as well as his mother's. Turning his head towards Zhuge Liang, the Principal asked the other party, ”Is what he said true? Are you telling me that the report you've sent to me, that you said you were infected by an unknown toxin, was due to this?”
Zhuge Liang nodded, ”Yes! Inside that monster core was some black stuff that we do not understand.. previously it was inside me and caused half of my body to turn into that of a monster.. but Sir Duan Li here managed to cure me from it and extracted the black stuff into that monster core..” he answered.
”T-This.. someone can actually be cured from this?!” the Principal stared at that infected monster core inside the spatial barrier and then turned towards Duan Li in disbelief.
This brat could just practically do anything isn't he?
”The thing inside this monster core.. it is actually called as the Demiruke's virus.. a product of creation from the blasphemous organization.. the Dark Sect!” the Principal said as he clenched his fist tight.
Dark Sect? If I am not mistaken, isn't that the group of people that Jing Zhianghu, the Old Guardian from the First region of the Eternal Maze warned me about?
The Principal continued, ”A single strand from this virus.. will slowly turn the infected into monsters.. until they can no longer differentiate between foes and friends.. and attack everything or anyone indiscriminately!”
Duan Li nodded, ”I see.. no wonder Zhuge Liang turned into that.. but how did you come to know about this virus Principal?” he asked.
Xu Rong and Jiu Yinxing nodded. As a practitioner of the medical arts, they have read innumerable amount of books, and there was not a single mention of this 'Demiruke's virus' or the sorts.
Not to mention that it has something to do with the Dark Sect, the number one public enemy of all nine empires across the Tian continent! Therefore, such a terrible virus should've been well documented by the combined efforts of all the empires..
Yet, why was it that it was the first time they were hearing about this?
Was the virus perhaps something newly discovered and that was why it wasn't documented in any books?
The Principal closed his eyes and went silent for a moment as he started to recall that distant, bitter and painful memories.
”25 years ago.. the Dark Sect attacked all the nine empires simultaneously. It was in that battle that, this virus first made its appearance into the world..”
Hearing that the Dark Sect attacking all the nine empires like that, Duan Li was strucked in disbelief.
”They attacked all nine empires at the same time? How did such a small organization has the manpower to be able to do that?” he asked curiously.
The Principal shook his head, ”They are indeed a small organization.. but you must never underestimate them! The Dark Sect only consisted of 10 members altogether as far as we know.. but when the attack happened that year, hear this.. they had only dispatched a single member to each of the nine empires!”
”And they managed to cause mass chaos to all of the empires, our Jiu Empire included!” the Principal said with a grim expression.
They managed to cause chaos to all nine empires?
Most of them that had never heard of this and thus couldn't help but to have some doubts.
After all, an incident that big, why were there no stories about it being told in the academy?
Seemingly to understand the meaning behind their befuddled expression, the Principal explained, ”You guys must be thinking that why such an incident was not talked about? Well, after the incident happened, the Emperors of all nine empires passed down a decree that it shall never be spoken publicly. As for the reason, even I myself do not know why..”
”I see..” Duan Li nodded in comprehension.
”But why are you two acting like this? Is that black stuff, or as you guys called it, the Demiruke's virus, really that dangerous?” he continued.
”This thing goes way beyond the level of dangerous! It is a national threat! When it first hit our Empire, the entirety of 3 villages and 1 town near the South border had to be eradicated!” the Principal spoke out with gritted teeth.
The memories were still fresh in his mind, as if it was just yesterday..
