Chapter 417: The Shoushen Sect

He truly disliked the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly feeding on human brain matter.

But to complete his mission and expose the Shoushen Sect, he had no choice but to do it.

Along the way, fires and riots were everywhere.

The disturbances caused by the Shoushen Sect had left the outer districts of Nanyucheng suffering heavy losses.

For humans, barely surviving in this perilous world is already hard enough!

Yet fools still go around causing chaos!

Perhaps it's the ass that decides the head.

Su Yang always believed the world was indeed unfair, but what mattered most was stability!

At least in a stable environment, unfairness could be slowly resolved.

But once order collapsed, everything was lost!

The beasts outside wouldn't care about any code of honor!

A sharp proboscis pierced through the crown of the head, accompanied by a sucking sound; the Silver-ranked Beast Tamer's eyes rolled white and he collapsed to his knees.

Su Yang could feel the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly was in high spirits.

Like a little girl who had just eaten dessert!

"I need memories of the Shoushen Sect!"

A psychic energy surge—Su Yang, Hou Yongning, and Zhou Jiayun offered no resistance.

Before them appeared countless images.

All the actions of the Silver-ranked Beast Tamer since arriving in Nanyucheng, and every Shoushen Sect Sect member he had ever met, materialized before them.

This was the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's skill—Five Senses Illusion!

More than a month ago, this Silver-ranked Beast Tamer had brought his subordinates and infiltrated Nanyucheng.

They entered the safety zones surrounding Nanyuchengcheng and began proselytizing.

With the aid of their psychic beast, they expanded rapidly.

Twenty days ago, a Shoushen Sect expert arrived in Nanyucheng and planned this retaliatory operation!

Soon after, the Nanyuchengcheng mayor was assassinated, and the Reclamation Force suffered heavy losses from a beast surge.

Shoushen Sect believers within the City Guard opened the city gates, allowing believers outside the safety zone and those in the slums to act together, sparking even greater chaos.

The Shoushen Sect expert who assassinated Gao Yuan vanished after completing the mission.

He left only orders to continue creating and prolonging the chaos!

"I suspect the Shoushen Sect, besides seeking revenge, is deliberately provoking unrest to distract our attention!" Su Yang murmured. "As long as Nanyucheng remains unsettled, we can't focus elsewhere. While we're quelling this riot, they can grow rapidly!"

Zhou Jiayun agreed: "Captain's right—we're racing against time, and so are they!"

Hou Yongning said: "The Shoushen Sect's leadership probably senses danger, which is why they're expanding so wildly!"

Zhou Jiayun and Hou Yongning both felt their heads were spinning.

When they first set out on this mission, they thought their team was powerful and held the advantage.

But now it seemed the Nanjunbu Sect had sent too few people.

The Shoushen Sect lurked in the shadows, expanding without restraint.

Yet our squad, though elite, is too small to cover over fifty cities in the southwest!

"Then let's see who's faster!" Su Yang gritted his teeth. "When it comes to catching rats, I, Su Yang, fear no one!"

Zhou Jiayun and Hou Yongning turned to look at Su Yang—they could hear the battle spirit in every word he spoke!

They suddenly realized they'd been too pessimistic—they couldn't even match this rookie!

They didn't act like soldiers, not even warriors!

Zhou Jiayun smiled: "Captain Su is right—the Shoushen Sect is strong, but we're not weak!"

Hou Yongning nodded: "Captain Su, just give us orders straight away!"

Su Yang laughed: "Don't worry—I won't let either of you two top experts off the hook!"

The Storm Eagle was quickly summoned back by Su Yang.

Su Yang ordered the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly: "Transfer every face of every Shoushen Sect member from that Silver-ranked Beast Tamer's mind to the Storm Eagle. You, Storm Eagle, are to patrol the skies—any Shoushen Sect member you spot, bring them to me!"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly forcibly extracted the memories, and the Storm Eagle took over the aerial search—any Shoushen Sect member who dared show their face in Nanyucheng would not escape the Storm Eagle's eyes!

After the Storm Eagle received the data, Su Yang gave another order: "Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, follow the Storm Eagle. If you encounter a Shoushen Sect member, kill them and extract more intelligence!"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly nodded and settled quietly onto the Storm Eagle's back.

The Storm Eagle flapped its wings and shot straight into the sky.

Hou Yongning asked: "Captain Su, will this work?"

"Wait for good news!" Su Yang grinned. "My Storm Eagle has sharp eyes—we'll stabilize Nanyucheng first!"

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, Qu Fei met Nanyucheng's deputy mayor, Zhong Ruili.

Zhong Ruili had temporarily abandoned Nanyucheng's outer districts because he wasn't sure if the Shoushen Sect experts were still inside the city!

After Gao Yuan, Nanyucheng's strongest, was killed, he feared attacks from Shoushen Sect followers and chose to retreat into defense.

Upon learning the Emergency Team had arrived to reinforce them, Zhong Ruili finally relaxed.

He opened the gates of the central district, and the Nanyucheng City Guard officially began suppressing the riots.

In a luxurious restaurant by the window in Nanyucheng, three Beast Tamers gathered.

The restaurant had survived the mob's rampage and remained intact thanks largely to these three Beast Tamers.

Since they took over the restaurant, the remaining chefs and servers had all become devout Shoushen Sect Sect followers.

A young Beast Tamer sipped a glass of red wine, leaned back in his chair, and lazily rubbed his belly: "Master Sun, how much longer do we have to stay in Nanyucheng?"

An old beast-taming master with a goatee laughed: "The Chief Bishop said the chaos in Nanyucheng must last as long as possible—even if the Emergency Response Team arrives, we must hold them down at all costs, for as long as possible!"

The young beast-taming master whispered: "Sun Lao, I heard the Southwest Military Department's Emergency Response Team isn't to be trifled with!"

"Qiao Qiao Jie, don't worry!" Sun Lao smiled warmly. "We're not going to fight the Emergency Response Team head-on—we just need to keep driving those believers into rioting. As long as we stay hidden behind the scenes, there'll be no danger."

"I think staying in Nanyucheng is actually pretty good. In other cities, the Chief Bishop would order us to keep a low profile—but in Nanyucheng, we can do anything we want…" The burly beast-taming master winked at Qiao Qiao Jie. "Qiao Qiao Jie, last night, those female believers' taste—wasn't it delicious?"

Qiao Qiao Jie smiled, savoring the memory.

"So joining the Shoushen Sect Sect means a brilliant future!" The beast-taming master raised his cup and laughed. "Come on—to the Beast God Prince, let's drink this one!"

"To the Beast God Prince!"

"To the Beast God Prince!"

As these three Shoushen Sect Sect followers raised their cups in celebration, high above, the Golden-Eyed Storm Eagle's Jin Huang pupils narrowed, locking onto their exact positions!
