Chapter 254: Beast God Cult! Target: Nanyu City!

Poor guy, he's clearly a fierce, carnivorous Gold-grade beast!

Yet now he's gnawing on a piece of rotten wood like it's a delicacy.

All the squad members stared at Su Yang's beautiful Rainbow Illusion Butterfly.

It effortlessly lured a Gold High-Grade beast into an illusion—utterly terrifying!

If the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly turned on us, we'd have no chance of escaping!

"What are you all standing around for? Don't you want it?"

"We do!"

"…"

The squad members successfully captured another Black Gold Armor Spider.

"Captain, two more are coming!"

"Those two don't look strong—let the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly kill them!"

Both Black Gold Armor Spiders drove their sharp blade-legs into their own soft bellies.

More than a dozen squad members swallowed hard.

…

"Ding~ Your pet, the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly, has leveled up to Gold Mid-Grade!"

After seven days, the squad had gathered all thirteen Gold-grade Black Gold Armor Spiders they needed!

None of the thirteen squad members were dissatisfied.

Su Yang received the mission completion prompt and, without hesitation, chose to let the Earthquake Bear learn a skill!

If the Earthquake Bear learns a new skill, he can use it too.

"Ding~ Your pet, the Earthquake Bear, has learned the skill—Earth Shaker!"

Earth Shaker: This pet stomps the ground with force, generating a powerful shockwave that violently shakes the surrounding earth. If its strength and power are sufficient, it can launch nearby enemies into the air and even cause large-scale ground collapses.

Su Yang read the system's detailed explanation of this skill.

This skill requires not only Earth affinity but also immense strength—it was truly crafted for the Earthquake Bear.

This skill is a group control ability, capable of altering terrain, suited for late-game use.

Moreover, Su Yang thought this skill looked cool—and suited him perfectly.

Back at the Seventh Squad, Zhu Xiaoshuang was highly satisfied with Su Yang's mission completion.

"By the way, your family was brought to Changwu City a few days ago—you can go visit them!"

Su Yang exclaimed in surprise: "Really?"

"Yes, go see them!" Zhu Xiaoshuang smiled. "You've worked hard these past few days—I'm giving you a Three-day holiday!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

Riding a military vehicle back into the inner city of Changwu, Su Yang headed straight for the villa.

As soon as he pushed open the door, Su Yang saw his mother, Zhang Xiuru, wrestling a mop from the maid, Zhou Yue.

"Mom!"

Upon seeing her son, Zhang Xiuru immediately let go of the mop.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

"I'm bored, so I wanted to mop the floor, but she won't let me!"

Zhou Yue looked at Su Yang with a hint of grievance.

"Have you been getting used to living here these past few days?"

Zhang Xiuru sighed helplessly. "Still not quite used to it. Back in Qixing City, I'd already planted vegetables in the garden—they were about ready to harvest… and now we've moved here again."

Su Yang smiled. "It's fine—we can grow vegetables here too. If you're too busy, have them help you!"

"Would that be alright?"

Zhou Yue quickly said: "We can help—we all know how to grow vegetables!"

"You might not be used to it now, but you'll get used to it," Su Yang said, noticing his sister wasn't around. "By the way, where's my sister?"

"She's at school. I hope she makes some new friends."

"Mm," Su Yang nodded. "I thought this place would be safer. After Daxing City fell, Qixing City's situation wasn't good."

Zhang Xiuru said: "I understand your thinking. Moving here is better—it's much safer."

That evening, Su Xiaoxiao finally came home.

When she saw Su Yang, Su Xiaoxiao was clearly happy.

"Xiaoxiao, how's school? Made any new friends?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "Mm!"

In just a few months, Su Yang noticed his little sister had grown taller.

Su Xiaoxiao sat beside Su Yang and whispered: "But I still miss Sister Su Wan."

"We'll have chances to go back and visit them someday!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked up at Su Yang. "Really?"

"Of course. When I'm strong enough, I'll fly you back myself!"

"Can I ride your big eagle?"

"I'll talk to it then. Since you're my sister, it'll probably agree."

Su Xiaoxiao extended her little finger. "Let's pinky-promise!"

After spending three days at home with his mother and sister, Su Yang returned to the military camp—only to be called over by Zhu Xiaoshuang.

"Su Yang, there's a tricky mission requiring your leadership. Of the entire Seventh Emergency Squad, you're the only one suited for this task!"

Su Yang led two missions, and his performance far exceeded Zhu Xiaoshuang's expectations.

His squad members held him in high regard, which made Zhu Xiaoshuang value him greatly.

"What mission?"

"Take a look at this document!" Zhu Xiaoshuang handed Su Yang a file folder. "Sit there and read slowly."

Su Yang sat on the sofa and opened the file folder.

It was a file concerning the Liyongxie Sect, the Shoushen Sect.

Merely seeing the words "Shoushen Sect" made Su Yang's expression turn grave.

When he studied in Qixing City, his textbooks had mentioned this extremely active Liyongxie Sect!

It detailed how members of the Shoushen Sect, within the Xia Federation Territory, used Liyongxie Sect knowledge and psychic-type ferocious beasts to hypnotize and brainwash ordinary civilians, soldiers, and even Beast Tamer practitioners, as well as the atrocities they committed through their controlled followers!

They had done things Su Yang could not even imagine—nothing was beyond their reach.

After reading those horrifying crimes, Su Yang took a deep breath.

With a psychic-type Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly in his possession, Su Yang knew full well how much destruction could arise when psychic abilities, religious doctrine, and this dangerous world converged.

"Finished?"

"Yes."

"The Shoushen Sect has never been active in our southwestern region, but the day before yesterday, Wucheng received a report from Nanyucheng: Nanyucheng reported that Shoushen Sect members have recently appeared within the city, spreading Shoushen Sect Sect doctrines. Nanyucheng has already begun an investigation!" Zhu Xiaoshuang said. "Captain Yao takes this matter very seriously. He wants our Seventh Squad's Emergency Team to assign several elite members to Nanyucheng to assist with the investigation and oversee their progress."

Zhu Xiaoshuang said seriously: "Your Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly is powerful and especially skilled at tracking—I believe you are the best candidate to lead this mission!"

Thinking of the documents and bloody images about the Shoushen Sect, Su Yang nodded firmly: "Alright."

The Shoushen Sect has no reason to exist!

"Your main task is to supervise and assist Nanyucheng's investigation. Though the danger should be minimal, you must still be cautious—psychic abilities are extremely unpredictable, and you know that well!"

"Understood."

"The mission departs tomorrow at ten a. m. —there's a Worm Train正好."

The Worm Train's speed is not much slower than riding a Gold-Rank psychic-type pet beast.

With a trainmaster aboard, it's even safer.
