Chapter 438: Ruling the Southwest North! Purge the Shoushen Sect!

More precisely, it was sucking out human brain matter.

But this seemed even more terrifying than eating people!

The civilians who witnessed this scene were all pale with fear.

Many, unable to bear such terror, fled straight back to their rooms and dared not look again.

They all remembered that beautiful large butterfly familiars, and its master!

That handsome, cold, cruel young man!

Most beast tamer, unless mentally twisted, would never let their familiars consume humans.

Humans and ferocious beasts are still different.

More than thirty corpses, drained of brain matter, lay scattered across the ground, but Su Yang didn't even glance at them.

These scumbags didn't deserve to live.

Qu Fei and the others didn't care—they knew Su Yang was doing this to extract intelligence.

"Any intelligence?"

The Rainbow Illusion Butterfly nodded.

At that moment, another military vehicle arrived, and a burly middle-aged soldier with a stern expression jumped out.

Su Yang saw his military rank and immediately knew his identity.

Gong Xiangming, mayor of Anfeng City.

Seeing Gong Xiangming approach, Su Yang walked forward to meet him.

Gong Xiangming, upon seeing dozens of dead familiars and over thirty human corpses piled on the ground, immediately frowned.

He saluted Su Yang, and Su Yang returned the salute.

"Captain Su, what is this…?"

"I discovered a Shoushen Sect stronghold—these are all members of the Shoushen Sect!" Su Yang said briefly. "Their base is that pawnshop; I left some survivors inside—ask them and you'll know."

"So that's it!" Gong Xiangming took a deep breath. "Captain Su… you're truly impressive!"

Gong Xiangming couldn't find any words left to describe it.

Su Yang couldn't be lying, and Anfeng City couldn't possibly have so many beast tamers whose origins he didn't even know.

If Su Yang said they were Shoushen Sect members, then they were Shoushen Sect members!

What shocked Gong Xiangming most was that, if he remembered correctly, Su Yang and his team had only arrived in Anfeng City twenty minutes ago!

Twenty minutes—to find and eliminate a Shoushen Sect stronghold within Anfeng City.

This efficiency was simply terrifying.

"Mayor Gong, you've arrived just in time—there are still some Shoushen Sect members lurking in Anfeng City, and your city's military has eight Shoushen Sect spies. I need your cooperation to deal with them!"

"I will spare no effort!"

Su Yang dispatched Storm Eagle to search for Shoushen Sect members while having the Rainbow Illusion Butterfly manifest the appearances of remaining Shoushen Sect affiliates and spies, so Gong Xiangming could arrest them.

Everything was settled just as noon arrived.

Before nightfall, the Anfeng City military completed its purge, and five more Shoushen Sect remnants were captured.

According to Su Yang's intelligence, only three remained.

These three were weak, merely lucky to have escaped so far.

The task of capturing these three would now fall to Gong Xiangming!

Su Yang handed the Shoushen statue to Gong Xiangming and explained Jing Liang's orders; Gong Xiangming's face twisted into a bitter smile.

"Really have to do this?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Captain Su, that's not what I meant!"

Su Yang smiled and asked back: "Then what did you mean?"

"I understand!"

Gong Xiangming chose to bow his head.

Su Yang knew exactly what Gong Xiangming was thinking.

He didn't want to offend the Shoushen Sect…

Su Yang had no fondness for people like this.

If you don't want to offend the Shoushen Sect, then why be mayor at all?

This man is a coward—nowhere near as good as Jing Liang.

After resting one day in Anfeng City, Su Yang led his team to the train station early the next morning.

Presumably because the Worm Subway was delayed, yesterday's passengers were still waiting by the platform.

At the train station entrance, he saw a newly erected Shoushen statue.

Gong Xiangming stood beside it, speaking with several officers.

Seeing Su Yang, he immediately stopped talking and walked over.

"Captain Su, why not stay a few more days?"

"I have official duties—I can't linger."

Gong Xiangming smiled and said: "I'll follow your instructions and properly place the Shoushen statue!"

"Good," Su Yang nodded. "Mayor Gong, then, farewell!"

"Farewell, Captain Su!"

Wang Hong on the Worm Train, seeing Su Yang's squad return, immediately ordered the Goliath Worm to open the doors.

The emergency team members boarded the Worm Subway amid the envious glances of the passengers.

"Soldier, where are you headed?"

A girl, carrying luggage, ran down from the platform and asked in a sweet voice.

Su Yang glanced at her; her appearance was decent, entirely different from Liu Mengyun, the type of youthful, cute girl.

She was also a Beast Tamer, likely one of the more popular girls.

"Sorry, no comment!"

After speaking, Su Yang boarded the train directly.

The girl stamped her foot in anger: "Hmph! What's that supposed to mean!"

At that moment, Liu Mengyun walked up to her: "Please return to the platform!"

Upon seeing Liu Mengyun's icy face, the girl shuddered in fear and scurried back to the platform.

A woman's instinct told her that the female soldier radiating chilling energy was not to be trifled with!

"Qu Fei, where's the next stop?"

"Qu City!"

"Qu City?"

Su Yang quickly recalled intelligence on Qu City in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face.

Su Yang also knew about the Shoushen Sect's outpost in Qu City…

Autumn arrived quickly, then passed.

The winter in the southwest had no appearance of winter at all.

Only on the two days of the New Year did a few grains of snow fall.

Su Yang's New Year was spent aboard Car 1056 of the Worm Subway.

With Liu Mengyun, Qu Fei, Hou Yongning, Zhou Jiayun, Wang Hong, and Deputy Team Leader Hao Ren.

Hao Ren, leading forty members of the Fourteenth Emergency Team, returned to the unit about two months after Su Yang's action team had deployed.

Decorating with lanterns and colorful banners to celebrate the New Year was impossible.

Qu Fei and the others went out and killed a Star Radiance-class ferocious beast; under the fine snowflakes, they camped overnight in the wild.

A bunch of rough men—don't expect any cultural performances.

The only highlight of this New Year was the spy Chen Li.

She had a beautiful voice and understood music; after Liu Mengyun's persuasion, she reluctantly sang five songs.

By the bonfire, Su Yang watched her quietly; Chen Li's gaze occasionally glanced at him.

Chen Li was considering how to make Liu Mengyun value her more highly, and how to make Su Yang regard her more highly.

Su Yang was considering whether, if he ever acted against Chen Li, he should give her a quick death.
