Chapter 427

But偏偏，this trap was exceptionally effective against the狂信者of the Shoushen Sect!

Any true believer of the Shoushen Sect would never allow sacrilege against the deity!

In some cases, they were even willing to sacrifice their own lives to uphold the "Shoushen's" dignity.

That trap had never appeared before; Shen Yang was certain it was devised by the Emergency Response Team.

He knew that if things continued, more Shoushen Sect members would rush headlong into the trap.

So he must report this immediately!

Just after turning a corner, he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw a smiling young man…

The young man wore the uniform of the Wucheng Emergency Response Team—and held the rank of Major!

"We're heading the same way; let's walk together?"

Su Yang would never walk with that rat.

A scream rang out—a civilian saw the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly kill a human and sip its brain matter, utterly terrified!

Hou Yongning struck, knocking the man unconscious to the ground.

"Found a lead—let's go!"

"Yes!"

Su Yang abandoned the corpse and led his squad sprinting down the street.

All members of the Emergency Response Team stood ready.

They knew Su Yang had discovered a vital lead!

After passing two streets, they arrived before a fruit shop; Su Yang ordered: "Surround it! Prepare for battle! Let no one escape!"

Ten Emergency Response Team members simultaneously summoned their pet beasts to encircle the fruit shop.

All nearby civilians, seeing this display, fled desperately in all directions.

The fruit shop owner stared in terror at Su Yang and shouted: "Officers! Officers! What's going on?!"

Su Yang smiled and asked: "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes! Yes! I want to know! My fruit shop sells quality fruit at fair prices—I pay all taxes properly!"

"Come here—I'll tell you!"

Su Yang waved him over.

The fruit shop owner swallowed hard and crept cautiously toward Su Yang.

Su Yang reached out and snapped his neck.

The seemingly honest fruit shop owner died with eyes wide open.

He never imagined Su Yang would attack without cause!

"Ding~ Your pet beast, Earthquake Bear, has killed a Gold Top-Grade Pet Master. Experience + 100 million!"

"Ding~ Your pet beast, Earthquake Bear, has killed a Shadow Stealth Panther. Experience + 100 million!"

Su Yang kicked the corpse into the fruit shop and growled: "What's all this acting for? Think your Concealment Technique is so impressive?"

Correct—the fruit shop owner was a member of the Shoushen Sect's local cell.

He had been hiding in Yuncheng for ten years.

Had it not been for Shen Yang's memories, Su Yang might have been fooled into thinking he was just an ordinary man.

"Everyone inside the fruit shop—come out!" Su Yang shouted as the civilians had mostly fled. "Stop hiding—I know you're there!"

A massive explosion ripped through the three-story fruit shop.

"Mankind is guilty—it shall perish! Only those who worship the Shoushen shall attain eternal life!"

Three Gold-Rank Pet Masters burst through the shattered upper floors, mounted on flying pet beasts, and soared into the sky, attempting escape.

"For the Shoushen!"

With a cry, seven low-rank Pet Masters charged out of the fruit shop, commanding their beasts to launch a frontal assault on Su Yang and his team.

Su Yang waved his hand, signaling the Emergency Response Team to engage.

Though outnumbered and weaker, the ten Shoushen Sect Pet Masters…

…each fought without fear of death, commanding their beasts with absolute resolve to die.

For a moment, both sides were locked in stalemate.

Su Yang stood motionless, ignoring the raging battle around him, not even lifting his head.

He stared at the collapsed fruit shop, frowning.

His memory recalled—those two Pet Masters' memories indicated this cell contained far more than just ten Pet Masters!

Hou Yongning asked: "What's wrong, Captain Su?"

"This cell shouldn't have only this many people!"

"Could they have left?"

"There's a possibility."

Su Yang waved his hand—and Hellblood Vine Blossom appeared.

Its massive body completely blocked the entire street.

Su Yang pointed at the ground: "Go underground—see if anyone escaped that way."

The Hellblood Vine Blossom sank into the earth and quickly relayed intelligence.

At fifty meters beneath the surface, it discovered a secret tunnel.

Inside the tunnel, over twenty Pet Masters were fleeing toward the outskirts of Yuncheng.

Su Yang couldn't help but laugh at Hou Yongning: "They really are like a bunch of rats!"
