Chapter 474: Rescue
"This..."
When Zhou Xue'er descended to the ground with her deputies Zuo Junyu and Ying Tong.
The expressions of the three turned solemn.
Not only because of the grotesque burnt corpses around them, but also because of the tall, handso man in Dragon Kingdom’s exclusive battle attire standing amidst the corpses.
At this mont.
This handso man, exuding an icy aura and an indifferent gaze, locked eyes with Zhou Xue'er and her team.
In an instant.
The three of them realized!
Ling Zhan!
The tall, handso man before them was the legendary double champion!
In fact...
Last night, when the orders ca down, their entire ninth squad had imdiately looked up information about this man.
Only the one temporarily dispatched to pick up soone, Ye Lan, hadn’t checked.
This man was even more handso than his photos, and...
So cold!
His icy deanor wasn’t like the contrived aloofness of a CEO in a novel.
It was the kind of boundless indifference to everything and everyone.
"Like a god overlooking all beings..."
This was the first impression the three of them had of the man before them.
Zhou Xue'er and her two deputies had been ntally prepared to reprimand Ling Zhan.
But now, standing before this overwhelmingly powerful man and the still-burning corpses around them...
They couldn’t speak.
They simply couldn’t speak!
Is this really the presence of a first-year student?
"You must be Ling Zhan?"
"Let introduce myself, I’m Zhou Xue'er, deputy of the Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad."
"These are Ying Tong and Zuo Junyu."
Zhou Xue'er stepped forward and spoke slowly.
Zuo Junyu and Ying Tong quickly nodded to Ling Zhan.
But after nodding.
The two glanced at each other, their faces turning slightly red.
Damn it!
Last night at the fortress camp, they had planned how to put this new freshman captain in his place.
But now that they t him...
They didn’t expect his presence to be so overwhelming!
It made the two deputies too afraid to speak!
"We’re here to pick you up. Four squads have gone missing in the Storm Strait; we suspect they’ve been compromised. There might be remnants of the Demon Arrival Organization hidden in the strait, so it’s best we retreat for now to be safe."
Zhou Xue'er explained.
Then she glanced at the surrounding corpses and asked, "What is this?"
Ling Zhan didn’t answer her question but calmly asked, "How many mbers does the Twelfth Squad of the Ghost-Slaying Corps from Fusang Country have?"
Zhou Xue'er frowned.
Even though Ling Zhan’s presence was strong.
She wasn’t soone easily intimidated.
This shift in questioning indicated that this man wanted to take the lead in the conversation.
The lower-ranked one answers the higher-ranked one.
Though feeling a bit unwilling, she still answered, "A total of 456 people!"
"Oh, then the number matches up."
Ling Zhan nodded.
"What number matches up?" Zhou Xue'er asked, puzzled.
Ling Zhan glanced at her calmly and said, "The number of corpses here, exactly 456."
Huh?
Are all the corpses here actually mbers of the Twelfth Squad of the Ghost-Slaying Corps?
"Wait..."
"We ca here to investigate this matter!"
"We need to find out who the killer is!"
"Do you have any leads on this?"
Zhou Xue'er asked softly.
"Yes."
Ling Zhan nodded slowly.
Zhou Xue'er and the others’ eyes lit up.
"What leads?"
Ling Zhan answered indifferently, "The ones who killed them were ."
Huh!?
"What?"
Zhou Xue'er and her team’s eyes widened in shock.
Swoosh!!
They instinctively stepped back, looking at the calm and composed Ling Zhan with confusion and suspicion.
What the hell?
This guy...
Killed the mbers of the Twelfth Squad of the Ghost-Slaying Corps?
Doesn’t that make him the enemy?
Why would he attack allied forces?
Seeing them back away, Ling Zhan sighed deeply.
But it wasn’t their fault.
These corpses, after death, had the inferior demon blood within them vaporize instantly.
Not even the demonic patterns would leave any trace.
This was due to the self-destruct effect embedded in the inferior demon blood.
Most likely, the Demon Arrival Organization had already embedded such effects in the blood when forcing these people to consu it.
So it was normal that Zhou Xue'er and her team hadn’t noticed.
"All these mbers had beco followers of the Demon Arrival Organization and completely betrayed humanity. So what’s wrong with killing them?"
Addressing their doubts, Ling Zhan calmly explained.
Seeing the three still on guard.
Ling Zhan felt helpless again.
He suddenly thought that the so-called Dragon Kingdom’s ninth squad...
Really needed so improvent in intelligence.
"Would you please activate your life detection device to check where the other three missing squads are?"
Ling Zhan rubbed his forehead and reminded them helplessly.
With this reminder.
Ying Tong hesitantly took out the life detection device.
The next second.
"Huh? It really detected the unique life signals of the other three squads..."
"They’re in a cave three kiloters from here!"
Ying Tong said excitedly.
Zhou Xue'er and Zuo Junyu exchanged glances, finally letting down their guard.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Go rescue them..."
Ling Zhan said helplessly.
"Could this be a trap?" Zhou Xue'er asked, still slightly doubtful.
Ling Zhan was too lazy to pay any more attention to the three.
He tapped his toes.
His figure soared into the air.
Heading towards the cave three kiloters away.
Watching Ling Zhan’s lightning-like flying speed, the three were stunned again.
This was obviously not the flight function of the battle attire.
It was so kind of flying secret technique belonging to Ling Zhan.
What they didn’t know was...
It was rely Ling Zhan’s basic skill, 'Wind Riding Technique.'
Soon...
When Ling Zhan arrived at the cave.
As expected, he saw the mbers of the three squads all bound there.
Each one looked weak and severely blood-deprived.
When they saw Ling Zhan, dressed in Dragon Kingdom battle attire, enter the cave, they were initially a bit stunned.
Then...
They were ecstatic!!
"God Ling!!"
"Damn! It’s really God Ling!"
The trapped third-year students shouted excitedly first!
The other fourth-year mbers were slightly astonished.
Naturally, they had heard the na ‘Ling Zhan’.
He was simply too famous.
Especially recently, the third-year students in the Hundred Ghosts Fortress had been talking about this newly crowned double champion.
What the fourth-year preparatory mbers hadn’t expected was...
This double champion had actually co here.
