Chapter 1183

Higher-level ferocious beasts, however, are primarily judged as adults based on their racial strength.

As their rank increases, their bodies continuously develop and perfect, gaining the ability to ascend.

Under normal circumstances, a divine-potential ferocious beast like Mo Yi would need at least decades, even centuries, to grow to the King level without special fortune.

But because it is Su Yang's pet beast, its growth rate has been drastically accelerated!

"Alright!" Su Yang said, "Fine, you're coming of age."

"Your tone is so dismissive!"

Su Yang looked at Mo Yi—could it even tell that?

"Master, don't you like Mo Yi anymore?"

"Of course I do!"

Who wouldn't like their own pet beast—so well-behaved, obedient, strong, and beautiful?

"Then why don't you hold me anymore?"

"You're almost an adult—you're a young lady now!"

Su Yang felt his answer was perfect.

"Then why do you like hugging Liu Mengyun?"

Su Yang's face flushed red; he rubbed his nose, slightly embarrassed.

He had no idea when Mo Yi had seen that.

Usually outside the room, he and Liu Mengyun were always calm, never showing affection publicly.

"Liu Mengyun is my wife! We're already married—officially certified by the Federation!"

Mo Yi's jet-black eyes fixed on Su Yang, making his skin crawl: "Then why can't we do the same?"

"You're a ferocious beast—there's no possibility between us!"

"But didn't General Xue Qiancheng do exactly that?"

Su Yang exclaimed in surprise: "How do you know that?"

Mo Yi smiled: "While you were busy outside these past few days, I wandered around and heard everything!"

Su Yang covered his head and started to ache.

Such a good kid, and now he's been corrupted.

Senior Xue Qiancheng set a terrible example!

"That kind of thing isn't recognized by the Federation!"

"Do you even need the Federation's recognition?" Mo Yi asked, puzzled. "Can't you just decide for yourself? Or even issue your own certificate?"

Su Yang truly didn't need Federation recognition.

As a General of the Northern Military, he could even issue his own marriage certificate!

"Do you even know what marriage means?"

"Living openly together? Or bearing your children?"

Su Yang's mind grew chaotic.

He reached out, grabbed Mo Yi, tossed it out the window, then slammed the window shut—the office instantly fell silent.

Sitting alone in a grand armchair was simply too comfortable.

Around ten days later, when Su Yang felt his whole body was rusting, Si Derong finally appeared.

"Have the latest intelligence on the Shoushen Sect arrived?"

As soon as Si Derong appeared, Su Yang asked.

He was already impatient!

He was a man who couldn't sit still!

Without killing people or ferocious beasts, he felt restless!

Su Yang did not criticize Si Derong.

The Shoushen Sect had many spirit-type beast masters with extremely keen perception; gathering intelligence on them was extremely difficult.

Taking longer was perfectly normal.

"General Su, all the intelligence has been transmitted!"

"Then let's assemble the troops and depart tomorrow!"

As a General, Su Yang could not single-handedly deal with the Shoushen Sect.

The Shoushen Sect controlled several cities, and their sympathizers were present in nearby cities; bringing troops would save Su Yang considerable effort.

Su Yang shouted loudly: "Lieutenant Liu, notify the High-ranking military officials and Captain Xiang—prepare for pre-battle mobilization! We're driving the Shoushen Sect's influence completely out of the Northern Military!"

He was already eager.

Liu Mengyun replied loudly: "Yes, General Su!"

"Wait! General Su, hold on—and Lieutenant Liu, don't leave yet!" Seeing Lieutenant Liu about to go, Si Derong quickly called out to Liu Mengyun.

"What's wrong?" Su Yang frowned, scrutinizing Si Derong with clear displeasure. "Director Si, can your intelligence division not even uncover such simple information?"

It was no wonder Su Yang was upset.

The Federation placed great importance on intelligence; the Northern Military's intelligence system received substantial annual funding.

The intelligence Su Yang needed was not demanding—barely any difficulty at all.

He only needed to know which cities in the north the Shoushen Sect had recently seized, and which cities now harbored Shoushen Sect followers…

For the Northern Military's intelligence division, this should have been extremely simple!

They weren't even asking for detailed intelligence on the Shoushen Sect's elite or their locations!

Seeing Su Yang about to lose his temper, Si Derong took a deep breath: "General Su, it's not that I'm incompetent—it's that something's gone wrong with the Shoushen Sect. We're helpless."

"Something happened with the Shoushen Sect? What could possibly go wrong with the Shoushen Sect? Did they occupy a few more cities? Did they start human sacrifices again?"

"No, they didn't attack our other cities, and there were no human sacrifices!" Si Deyong said with a bitter smile, "Instead, they all ran away—every last one of them. They abandoned those believers and fled!"

Su Yang licked his lips, stared at Si Deyong, and asked: "Where did they run off to?"

"They fled back to the northwest. They abandoned the cities they'd occupied, abandoned those believers, and fled entirely!" Si Deyong said in a low voice. "Our intelligence personnel saw it with their own eyes. We've also planted several spies inside the Shoushen Sect. When they retreated along with the Shoushen Sect members, they left us information telling us the reason the Shoushen Sect withdrew from the north!"

"What reason? Did something go wrong in their rear?"

"No!" Si Deyong shook his head. "The elders of the Shoushen Sect heard that General Su had arrived, so they decided to temporarily withdraw from the north…"

Si Deyong could feel Su Yang's fury, could feel the bone-chilling killing intent emanating from Su Yang's body.

He knew that his family's General Su was very angry!

Si Deyong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and carefully added:

"It seems they were scared off by you, General Su!"

"Bang!"

The entire Northern General Headquarters building trembled.

Many of the soldiers and civilian staff inside the General Headquarters were startled by the commotion.

Immediately after, they heard Su Yang's furious roar:

"How dare these damned bastards?!"

The soldiers inside the General Headquarters building buzzed with discussion:

"What's going on?"

"That sounds like General Su's voice!"

"General Su seems really angry!"

"Who made General Su angry?"

"…"
