Chapter 1187

Lu Yang and the assembly of high-ranking officials instantly understood upon Liu Mengyun's reminder.

They absolutely trusted Liu Mengyun's words.

Of the entire Northern Army Department, only Liu Mengyun likely understood General Su best.

Liu Mengyun's words confirmed Si Derong's earlier suspicions.

General Su wants to stir up trouble!

Soon, the entire Northern Army Department knew why General Su was angry.

The reason for General Su's anger made most soldiers both amused and exasperated.

At the same time, they gained a clearer understanding of Su Yang's terrifying nature.

What kind of fear could make the Shoushen Sect's fanatical cultists abandon a captured city and flee under cover of night?

Su Yang sat on his office chair, sullen and displeased.

Mo Yi whispered comfortingly: "Master, don't be angry. If you truly despise the Shoushen Sect, Mo Yi will take you to slaughter them!"

Su Yang smiled and said: "The Shoushen Sect isn't simple—especially their Beast God. I suspect it might be a true divine-level ferocious beast, in its complete form."

"Really?"

Su Yang affirmed: "Of course it's true!"

"Then let's wait a few more days, wait a few more years—until I grow stronger, we'll raid their lair!"

"That's fine!"

With Mo Yi's comfort, Su Yang's mood improved greatly.

Just then, he suddenly heard a system notification:

"Ding~ Congratulations, Host! You have successfully quelled the Northern Shoushen Sect rebellion. Task completed!"

"Ding~ Task reward: Three talent points awarded to the Host."

Su Yang saw the task completion notification and chuckled helplessly.

The resentment caused by the Shoushen Sect's escape had mostly dissipated.

First, Su Yang was naturally easygoing.

Second, he hadn't really done much for this task!

He hadn't even left Bingcheng, yet he'd completed the task of quelling the Shoushen Sect…

Three talent points are already extremely generous, okay?

Of course, it's not fair to say Su Yang just slacked off and freeloaded three talent points.

He did exert effort—using his "reputation" as leverage.

After years of campaigning south and north, nearly undefeated, he likely carried a natural aura of terror!

The news that the Shoushen Sect, which had severely wounded General Xue of the Northern Army Department, suddenly abandoned occupied cities and retreated entirely to the northwest spread like wildfire, quickly reaching the entire North.

Wherever this news traveled, it caused uproar.

After all, the Shoushen Sect, as the largest cult organization in the Federation and one bold enough to challenge regional army departments, was immensely famous in the North.

Even the Rare Treasures Pavilion dared not oppose the Northern Army Department.

Yet the Shoushen Sect dared to attack and occupy cities—essentially provoking the entire Federation!

And yet, they still existed!

Many factions and organizations held deep dread for the Shoushen Sect.

A group of religious fanatics—no one wanted to provoke them!

Yet these very fanatics, upon hearing Su Yang had arrived in the North, voluntarily abandoned their hard-won victory… and fled!

How else could you say it?

You could only say: Su Yang's terrifying reputation was immense!

When the news reached Xue Xue Qiancheng in seclusion, Xue Xue Qiancheng stared at the Ice Tomb, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Precisely because of this news, the Northern Army Department, which had just suffered a major morale blow, instantly saw its morale surge.

Even civilians felt their sense of security greatly increased now that Su Yang had arrived.

Si Derong began investigating the entire Beifangbang Sect network, while Su Yang could no longer sit still.

Cooped up in Bingcheng for over half a month, he had wanted to attack the Shoushen Sect.

But now that the Shoushen Sect had fled, he had nothing left to do—and he grew restless.

In truth, as the head of the Northern Army Department, his administrative duties were numerous.

But Su Yang was too lazy; he delegated authority, and Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, Xia Na, and the newly formed Secretariat handled all his miscellaneous tasks.

Su Yang felt there was nothing left for him to interfere with.

He had absolute faith in Liu Mengyun.

So Su Yang greeted Liu Mengyun, instantly teleported above Bingcheng, summoned the Storm Eagle, and prepared to patrol his territory.

Yes, Su Yang was going to patrol his territory.

His territory was the jurisdiction of the Northern Army Department's two hundred cities.

Over the past three centuries, due to war and ferocious beasts, the Northern Army Department's jurisdiction had continuously shrunk.

Yet over two hundred human cities still spread across an enormous region!

Providing rapid support to these areas was genuinely difficult.

Su Yang's Void Traveler could only teleport to places he had previously visited.

So Su Yang planned to spend some time touring all two hundred-plus cities under Northern Army Department control, along with regions harboring powerful ferocious beasts, allowing his Void Traveler to establish positional anchors.

Once any city faced danger, Su Yang could arrive swiftly to provide aid.

When he wished to hunt ferocious beasts, he could also reach them rapidly.

By the way, Su Yang could also take a look at the overall development of the North.

The North is certainly different from the South.

As the head of the Northern Military Department, Su Yang felt he should thoroughly examine the current overall state of the Northern Military Department.

That is, to conduct a survey when he had spare time.

Riding on the back of Storm Eagle, Su Yang released Mo Yi and Sister Xue Li, gazing at the vast sky and earth, he let out a long howl, instantly feeling refreshed in body and mind.

He felt the office was not where he belonged.

He still preferred to roam outside.
