I wonder to myself: people of deceitful ways? It seems you haven’t understood well enough...
After several minutes passed, the train entered a prosperous town nad ’Linnan Pavilion’. Xiao Ya patted Xu Shu’s hand: "Ti to get off."
"Mm."
Xu Shu no longer hesitated. As he got up to leave, he casually grabbed a rather European-style black hat off the head of an unknown elderly gentleman, and put it on himself.
"Not bad looking."
Xiao Ya comnted briefly, stretched lazily, and opened her arms wide: "Brother, carry !"
"Seriously?" Xu Shu glanced sideways at her.
Xiao Ya nodded: "We’ve been out for days now, I’m worried if a fight breaks out and becos intense, this puppet may run out of energy. Saving a bit is better."
"Alright then."
Xu Shu rolled his eyes and could only bend his arm to carry her in his embrace forward.
After walking for a while, he thought carrying her in his arms might be inconvenient during a fight, and considered switching to piggybacking.
But he had Wu Liuzhi’s large brocade box on his back, which wasn’t comfortable either.
After pondering for a bit, Xu Shu placed her on his shoulders: "Hold tight, don’t fall off."
"Hehe, Xu Shu, you’re really like a competent father~"
Zhong Xiaoya obediently positioned her little bottom atop Xu Shu’s shoulders, her small legs firmly anchored on his shoulders to steady herself.
She seed oddly fond of this position, and pulled out a small black flag embroidered with a dragon from her pocket, pointed forward: "Charge forward, duck!!!"
"..."
Xu Shu shook his head speechlessly, feeling that this strange predecessor’s personality was quite quirky. Perhaps being in the Judgent Departnt in Bai Yujing was too stifling, driving a good big shot to madness.
He grumbled inwardly, but his steps did not halt, running swiftly through the crowd, heading towards the town’s remote industrial area.
Before long, guided by the directions, they reached their destination within the desolate factory zone.
’Linnan Mining Developnt Co., Ltd.’ was on an enormous, old and tilted plaque pointing toward the west street.
This place was clearly abandoned long ago, with densely packed buildings on both sides marked "Demolish". Further away, there were several ters high fences made of steel and wires.
Not long after entering the street, a fierce fighting sound suddenly echoed from afar in the night.
"Sothing happening?"
Xiao Ya and Xu Shu exchanged a glance.
The latter suddenly accelerated, making the forr bob up and down like a small boat in a sea storm, tightly clutching his sleeves to stabilize and avoid being thrown off.
Xu Shu followed the sound of the fight, rushing through a district filled with heaps of old machinery.
Suddenly, he stopped abruptly at a corner, his gaze tightening.
The sound of battle was almost at arm’s reach, just on the other side of the factory next to them, separated by a wall!
Could it be other Judgent Departnt teams received the news and preemptively ambushed here?
This thought had barely flashed across Xu Shu’s mind when the thick wall before him crumbled with a crash, violently breaching a hole.
A silhouette was flung out from inside, rolling several tis on the ground before heavily hitting the opposite corner of the wall.
Bang!
Xu Shu glanced over to see a mature, alluring woman. Though she wore a tightly wrapped white blouse and form-fitting leather pants, many places had been torn in battle, revealing patches of snow-white skin, with flas-like colors bursting from the wounds.
"Cough cough... cough! Devious... you’re actually... a group!"
The woman lay on the ground coughing blood angrily, supporting herself with her hands, struggling to stand up.
She spat black blood, clearly poisoned heavily, her life seemingly nearing its end.
Seeing Xu Shu outside, the woman instinctively focused her gaze, tremblingly looking over.
"So big..."
Xu Shu’s gaze landed on her wounded collar, trembling as it expanded.
He promptly shifted his gaze to an appropriate position, focusing on her face, expression suddenly tightened.
"Ah, it’s her?"
...
...
On December 29th, at six forty-five in the evening.
Jiang Biyun was extrely enraged.
A few days ago, she returned from an expedition to a ruin, in high spirits and having reaped substantial rewards, chatting rrily with her teammates.
One person had directed operations throughout, particularly garnering the teammates’ favor.
During their conversations, she learned the other hailed from a first-class safe zone D9B3, and called himself "Zi Shu", head of a local anti-abuse organization "Annihilation Association".
The leader inford her that under the sun’s rays, shadows are omnipresent, and the people of Penglai Territory were living in dire straits.
A strange practice was prevalent here, called "Living Cultivator", which involved cultivating oneself by feeding into deceitful monsters.
After hearing from her friend, Jiang Biyun probed so people to verify the shocking incidents, thus grasping the nurous harms of Living Cultivator.
Incredibly, people forced themselves to refine deceitful monsters, boosting their own might, and used human infants as nourishnt to enhance the monsters’ caliber!
Utterly appalling!
Such cultivation veered entirely into demonic paths!
What is the local Judgent Departnt doing? Aren’t they managing this at all?
Dead weight!
Although indignant, Jiang Biyun realized there might be substantial achievents hidden herein.
Thinking of her fledgling leadership of her family, with many elders dissatisfied, deeming her too young, inexperienced, and lacking virtue, left her troubled over bolstering her renown.
Yet if she could beco famous in the first-class safety zone, such accomplishnts would naturally be persuasive enough for those old fogeys to shut up, stopping them from saying she "overthrew her ancestors to seize power" behind her back.
After all, exorcising evil and promoting virtue, gaining illustrious fa, consolidating one’s authority and status was a tradition passed down in the Hunter Association, where many predecessors had tread the sa path.
