Chapter 433

Once the Southwest Military Department cracks it open, the Shoushen Sect's forces in the southwest will face devastating strikes!

Chen Cheng, a Star Radiance-level expert, glared with venomous hatred at Su Yang, who was protected by Qu Fei and Hou Yongning, and let out a deep sigh.

In truth, he still wanted to kill Su Yang.

But he knew he had no chance.

Fortunately, Yu Shuang was dead, and the Shoushen Sect's secrets were preserved!

A sharp pain surged through his brain.

The side effects of taking forbidden drugs to forcibly boost his power and activate the "Explosion" ability had manifested!

"For the Beast God!"

With a loud "crack," Chen Cheng's brain exploded like a watermelon.

The four Star Radiance-level experts, witnessing Chen Cheng's death, turned their gazes to Su Yang's hand—Yu Shuang's corpse.

"Sigh!"

Even Qu Fei couldn't help but sigh.

"It's my fault—I didn't protect Yu Shuang!" said Hou Yongning. "I never expected them to go this far!"

Jing Liang said: "It's fine—at least we destroyed the Shoushen Sect's base in Yuncheng. We didn't come away empty-handed."

Zhou Jiayun also comforted: "Yes, at least we still gained something!"

Su Yang stared at Yu Shuang's still-warm corpse in his hands and whispered: "Actually, even if Yu Shuang is dead, his memories aren't necessarily unrecoverable..."

Everyone exclaimed in shock:

"What?"

"Even if he's dead?"

"Are you sure?"

Su Yang nodded: "Not certain, but as long as the corpse's brain isn't destroyed and the neurons haven't died, we should be able to extract his memories!"

Mental attacks don't target brain cells.

They are formless and invisible—they strike the mind, the soul!

Those who die from mental attacks have their consciousness and soul erased.

But memories aren't stored in some mysterious soul—they're stored in brain cells.

"Then try it right away!"

"While the corpse is still fresh!"

"..."

Su Yang turned to look at the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly, which turned its head away, reluctant.

"Hurry up—the corpse is still warm!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly reluctantly extended its proboscis and pierced into Yu Shuang's brain.

Su Yang and the four Star Radiance-level experts watched expectantly as the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly fed.

After sucking out all the brain matter, Su Yang asked softly: "How is it?"

The Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly responded with violent coughing.

Clumps of white fluid spewed from its proboscis.

It was vomiting!

After vomiting, the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly nodded at Su Yang.

Su Yang let out a long breath and smiled: "We got the memory data—completely intact!"

"That's amazing!"

"That old Star Radiance-level guy probably never imagined you could extract memories from a corpse!"

"..."

The four Star Radiance-level experts wore expressions of pure delight.

They knew perfectly well how vital the intelligence in Yu Shuang's brain was to the Southwest Military Department!

This would dramatically accelerate the Jiaoshoushen Sect's purge!

"Captain Su, let's go!" Jing Liang laughed loudly. "We're celebrating tonight!"

Qu Fei chimed in: "Yes, absolutely must celebrate!"

Even the usually stoic Hou Yongning spoke up: "Definitely!"

Su Yang knew the Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly strongly disliked dead brain matter—it felt wronged.

He patted the butterfly's fuzzy head and praised: "Thanks to you this time!"

The Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly wrapped its six slender legs around Su Yang and gently rubbed its small head against his hand.

No one spoke further, only gazing at Su Yang's Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly with envy.

The Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly's growth potential was only Platinum-level.

But sometimes, a pet's value isn't measured by its strength!

They knew well—since awakening its memory-extraction skill, Su Yang's Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly was no less important than a King-level pet!

In fact, it was even more useful than a King-level pet!

Unfortunately, they didn't know Su Yang's Chromatic Illusionary Butterfly's growth potential had long since reached Emperor-level.

And it was still advancing toward the legendary God-level.

Back in Yuncheng, Liu Mengyun and Lei Dong also made some gains.

They captured hundreds of ordinary believers brainwashed by the Shoushen Sect, and four low-level Shoushen Sect Beast Tamer.

Not all Shoushen Sect members hidden in Yuncheng had been apprehended.

Even the military of Yuncheng had members of the Shoushen Sect.

But these Shoushen Sect members were only a few cats and dogs, incapable of amounting to anything significant.

As in Nanyucheng, Su Yang had Jing Chu bring painters and veteran soldiers from the military to draw portraits of all the escaped Shoushen Sect members and spies hidden within Yuncheng's military departments.

Jing Liang used the portraits to apprehend them; before nightfall, the entire Yuncheng military had been purged clean!

He also distributed the portraits of the remaining Shoushen Sect remnants, ordering the city guard to search urgently.

Jing Liang also ordered the corpses of Shoushen Sect members hung on the city walls.

Su Yang had nothing to say about this preference.

As long as Jing Liang was happy!

Under the city walls, a crowd of onlookers quickly gathered.

"Who are they?"

"Why are more people being hung up again?"

"…"

One city guard said: "These are Shoushen Sect members—anyone from the Shoushen Sect must be hung on the city walls!"

Many civilians, hearing the soldier's words, dared not speak further.

At the same time, they decided that if they ever encountered the Shoushen Sect again, they would stay far away.

Jing Liang, the lord of Yuncheng, hosted a victory banquet for Su Yang.

Only a select few of Yuncheng's high-ranking military command were eligible to attend.

At the banquet, Jing Liang formally introduced Su Yang to the high-ranking military officials of Yuncheng.

"Don't let Su Yang's youth fool you—he's only fifteen!" Jing Liang laughed loudly. "Think about what you were doing at fifteen!"

A portly soldier stood up and said: "When I was fifteen, I dreamed I was urinating—and woke up with a wet blanket!"

Everyone at the banquet burst into laughter.

Though the members of the Emergency Unit were not allowed inside the banquet hall, Jing Liang still treated them well—with fine wine and meat.

Jing Liang personally toasted Su Yang, and Su Yang drank it.

The wine Jing Liang served was among the finest in this world.

The brewing ingredients were all seeds from plant-type ferocious beasts, similar to ferocious beast eggs.

The aroma was rich and fragrant.

When swallowed, it was spicy but had a rich, smooth texture with a lingering sweetness.

Long-term consumption greatly benefited the bodies of ordinary people.

Even Su Yang, who rarely drank, came to enjoy the taste of this wine.

Perhaps because he carried the Earth Rampager Bear, the alcohol had no effect on him at all.
