Chapter 616: Peering In—Shoushen Sect: Does the Beast God Truly Exist?

These commoners had all been starving for a long time.

Peng Xiangming sent people to open the granaries.

Every city had granaries built specifically to store grain for emergencies.

This was already an old tradition of Huaxia.

However, half the grain inside the granaries had been ruined by the Shoushen Sect and those believers of theirs.

Fortunately, some still remained!

Peng Xiangming was swamped with work, but he still ordered someone to prepare a clean residence for Su Yang.

A young officer asked respectfully, "Major Su, are you satisfied?"

This dwelling had been preserved remarkably intact.

The floor was still damp—it had just been mopped clean by someone.

"Quite nice, Deputy Captain Peng, you've been thoughtful!"

Su Yang sniffed the air and caught the scent of a fallen Shoushen Sect Elder.

"Haha, as long as Major Su is satisfied!"

Su Yang and Liu Mengyun looked up to see a burly middle-aged officer carrying a dustpan full of trash coming down from upstairs.

Liu Mengyun saw the shoulder insignia on the other party, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Lieutenant Colonel!!!

She had always thought that serving as someone's adjutant was already eye-catching enough.

She hadn't expected there to be an even more outrageous one here!

One had to know that a Lieutenant Colonel-level officer in the Western Military Department was at least mid-to-upper level.

As long as they were in a Beast Tamer combat unit, they were at least Stellar Glory-level experts!

When did a Lieutenant Colonel-level officer fall to the point of doing cleaning work?

Su Yang brought his heels together and gave the other party a military salute: "Sir!"

Liu Mengyun hurriedly followed suit!

That Lieutenant Colonel-level officer quickly set down the dustpan and returned a salute to Su Yang and the others.

Su Yang pointed at the dustpan and asked, bracing himself: "Lieutenant Colonel, this is…"

"Oh! You mean this!"

As the Lieutenant Colonel spoke, he was about to bend down to pick up the dustpan, but Liu Mengyun got there first.

The Lieutenant Colonel could only continue helplessly: "Didn't Deputy Brigade Leader Peng say to arrange a residence for you? I volunteered for this task myself!"

"Then why did you do it yourself?"

"Major Su, just take it as my thanks to you!" The burly Lieutenant Colonel rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly and said softly, "I feel like, apart from helping you clean the room, I don't seem to have anything else I can offer!"

"Uh!"

That didn't seem necessary either!

"Major Su, just stay in the room!" As if sensing the atmosphere had grown awkward, the burly Lieutenant Colonel strode quickly toward the Bieshuda Sect gate, "I've cleaned it all up, don't mind it… I still have things to do, I'll be going first!"

With that, the burly Lieutenant Colonel vanished at the Damenkou.

Su Yang murmured, "What is there for me to be grateful for?"

Most importantly, the other party didn't even explain things clearly.

The young officer beside him withdrew his gaze and said softly, "Major Su, Lieutenant Colonel Chen has a grandson named Chen Long. Five years ago, Chen Long was the captain of the Western Military Department's Sixth Emergency Squad!"

"Mm?"

"Five years ago, the Sixth Emergency Squad was ambushed by the Shoushen Sect and wiped out. Lieutenant Colonel Chen's grandson was also burned to a crisp…"

"So that's what it was!"

Su Yang finally remembered.

The intelligence on the Sixth Emergency Squad had also been leaked by Wang Qianming.

As for being burned to a crisp, it was probably Ning Jiancheng who did it.

That night, Su Yang lay in the bedroom, released the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly, and began sorting through and analyzing the memories of the two great Shoushen Sect Elders, Xu Yingtian and Chen Yuankui.

Ning Jiancheng died without a whole corpse—his body turned to ash.

But Xu Yingtian and Chen Yuankui, both of their corpses were still intact.

Su Yang certainly wouldn't forget to obtain the intelligence in their brains.

After roughly understanding what those two Shoushen Sect members had done, Su Yang deeply regretted it.

He regretted letting them die too easily!

Then, the Illusory Realm conjured by the Seven-Colored Illusion Butterfly shifted.

Su Yang saw a giant dark palace, within which stood a three-meter-tall metal Beast God statue.

He saw Xu Yingtian kneeling on a prayer mat, devoutly chanting scriptures.

Suddenly, Xu Yingtian's body began to tremble violently.

A sudden ominous premonition rose in Su Yang's heart!

Crisis sense?

How could that be?

At a time like this!

However, this sense of crisis wasn't very strong!

He probably wouldn't die, but it would be very dangerous!

Su Yang felt that something very important to him was about to happen.

Soon, countless black, repulsive tentacles stretched out from behind the Beast God statue.

In the Illusory Realm, that strange, sinister feeling made Su Yang's skin crawl.

The metal Beast God statue suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils pure silver.

It turned its head mechanically, fixing its gaze on Su Yang.

Even though he knew perfectly well this was the Illusory Realm, Su Yang still felt his flesh creep under its stare.

"Damn intruder, you are desecrating the deity!!!"

In an instant, Su Yang felt his mind explode.

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly also seemed attacked; the Illusory Realm vanished suddenly.

"Pada," the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly collapsed onto the ground.

Su Yang lay on the ground and gently sensed the condition of the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

Only his spirit had suffered severe trauma—it could recover!

He gasped for breath, rolled over, and lay flat on his back.

All he could recall in his mind was the Beast God statue from the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's Illusory Realm—the one that could speak and attack.

It was simply too powerful!
