Chapter 429

~5 min read 837 words

Soon, Su Yang received intelligence that the Shoushen Sect had two outposts within the range of Yuncheng.

Besides the outpost Su Yang had already wiped out, another outpost was built in a secure zone outside Yuncheng, a place called Colonel Liu Yun Town.

As Su Yang had deduced, the Shoushen Sect greatly feared Jing Liang's strength and had merely temporarily treated Yuncheng as a transit point, without conducting large-scale Fanweichuan activities.

Hidden within the outpost outside Yuncheng was a Shoushen Sect platinum peak expert named Yu Shuang.

After the Shoushen Sect's chief bishop Xun Tu died in Nanyucheng, Yu Shuang took charge of the Shoushen Sect's infiltration operations in the southwest.

Shoushen Sect members from the west entered the southwest via various routes, with Yuncheng as their first stop.

In Yuncheng, their primary coordinators were received by Yu Shuang.

Yu Shuang would then assign these Shoushen Sect members to major cities across the southwest…

Upon receiving this information, Su Yang's eyes instantly lit up!

That meant the Shoushen Sect chief bishop named Yu Shuang likely held intelligence on every single Shoushen Sect member hidden in the southwest!

This man!

Too crucial!

If he could capture him, Su Yang would obtain the complete list of all Shoushen Sect members infiltrating the southwest!

If he captured him, Su Yang believed that with his tracking abilities, he could uproot the entire Shoushen Sect's presence in the southwest!

"Captain Su, is there important intelligence?"

Seeing Su Yang lost in thought for a long time, Hou Yongning asked.

"Yes, go notify Qu Fei and the others—they have an important mission!"

"Yes!"

"Wait!" Su Yang stopped Hou Yongning. "For safety, notify Chief Jing as well—he must join us."

"Understood!"

If this mission succeeds, it will accelerate the clearance of Shoushen Sect forces!

Yu Shuang must be captured.

According to the intelligence extracted from the minds of the two Shoushen Sect platinum-level Beast Tamers, the strongest expert at the Colonel Liu Yun Town outpost is the platinum peak expert Yu Shuang.

But their intelligence may not be accurate.

What if Yu Shuang withheld information from them?

Just like the underground tunnel!

Twenty minutes later, Hou Yongning arrived with Qu Fei, Zhou Jiayun, and Jing Liang.

Jing Liang glanced at the completely collapsed building and the corpses scattered on the ground and asked: "Did you find any leads?"

"This was one of the Shoushen Sect's outposts inside Yuncheng—it's been completely wiped out!"

"You're truly impressive!" Jing Liang said. "I've governed Yuncheng for ten years and never noticed them. You arrived only hours ago and unearthed them—no wonder the Junbu Sect sent you here!"

Su Yang did not respond to Jing Liang: "The Shoushen Sect has another outpost. Inside it hides Yu Shuang, the leader of their infiltration operation in the southwest. He's only platinum peak, but I fear there may be a Star Radiance-level expert there. For safety, I must ask Chief Jing to join us."

"No problem!" Jing Liang rolled his shoulders. "I haven't fought in a long time!"

"I need Yu Shuang alive!"

"Agreed!"

"The location is Colonel Liu Yun Town. Chief Jing, please guide us there."

"No problem. Follow me!"

Jing Liang summoned his Black Tiger Hawk and flew northward.

Su Yang, Qu Fei, Zhou Jiayun, and Hou Yongning followed closely behind.

More than ten minutes later, a small town appeared before them.

Jing Liang pointed to the town and said: "This is Colonel Liu Yun Town!"

Colonel Liu Yun Town was unremarkable, like every other small town in the southwest—crooked wooden and corrugated iron houses, with steel cables as thick as an arm coiled overhead.

Three ordinary villagers were drying soybeans outside their homes.

Several mischievous children were playing "Eagle Catches Chickens"…

Su Yang summoned Hellblood Vine Flower and ordered it to monitor the ground below.

Jing Liang extended his hand; fire energy erupted instantly, a wave of heat rushing toward them.

From his posture, he intended to strike directly.

"Wait—let Qu Fei force them out instead!"

"Fine."

The fire energy receded. Jing Liang watched the surroundings warily; his cold gaze paid no attention to the civilians.

Su Yang said nothing.

Each had their own code of conduct.

Besides, evacuating the town's civilians now was impossible.

Any such action would only make the Shoushen Sect think they had an opening—and doom these ordinary people.

Su Yang said: "First, stun all the ordinary townspeople—and give them a warning."

"Alright!"

Qu Fei stepped forward.

"Psychic Storm!"

Psychic energy spread instantly; every civilian in the town collapsed to the ground.

The town remained silent.

Su Yang ordered: "Hellblood Vine Flower, drive them out!"

The architecture of this town was too ordinary to hide many people.

The Shoushen Sect must have done their work underground!

With a boom, a regular residential building collapsed, and countless blood-red tentacles flailed.

More than twenty beast taming masters flew straight into the air.

Su Yang needed only one glance at the lead three-eyed blood crow to know the rider atop it was unquestionably a Star Radiance-level beast taming master.
