Chapter 370: This Script Isn't Right

"Why is this intelligence so messy and disorganized?"

After parting ways with the people from Cangjian Villa, Shen Yu was flipping through the intelligence sent from Black-Clad Guard offices across various regions, trying to find places where old monsters might have appeared.

This intelligence had all been sent over previously, and was limited to the areas under Gu Cheng's jurisdiction.

It would still take some time for Shen Yu's orders to be relayed to all parts of the Imperial Court, and it would also take time for intelligence from those places to be sent back.

During this period, he could only focus on the areas Gu Cheng was responsible for, taking advantage of the fact that these old monsters had not yet recovered their strength to hunt them down one by one.

It was just that the intelligence coming in from everywhere was very chaotic, as if there were old monsters everywhere. With the Spirit Qi Surge, there were more and more old monsters, but it shouldn't be that they were everywhere.

"My Lord, nowadays there are many reports of cities being slaughtered everywhere. With people in a panic, it is inevitable that they are jumpy, and it is also inevitable that those with ulterior motives want to fish in troubled waters and stir up trouble!"

"Therefore, the intelligence coming in from various places inevitably contains a lot of misleading information."

Standing beside Shen Yu, Gu Cheng also felt somewhat ashamed. The recent events in Da'an City had left them unable to even take care of themselves, almost running away with their buckets, so they had no mood to manage what was below.

Even if he forced his subordinates to handle it, they were performing more and more perfunctorily.

Moreover, they couldn't even handle the affairs of Da'an City; even if they knew things were happening elsewhere, besides staring blankly, they had no spare capacity to provide support.

Therefore, the intelligence sent up from his jurisdiction was basically piled up here, and there had been no time to analyze and summarize it.

"My Lord, give this subordinate some time, and I will have people summarize all the news inside as quickly as possible. We will find out which are groundless rumors and which are truly those old monsters wreaking havoc."

"Then have people handle it as quickly as possible; for every quarter of an hour late, there is a possibility that the people of a city will be slaughtered!"

"This subordinate understands. My Lord, please rest assured, my subordinates are all experts, and they will definitely handle it in the fastest time!"

"That's all we can do!" He nodded at Gu Cheng, signaling him to hurry, and then Shen Yu walked out the door and sighed softly.

Those awakened old monsters were like bears that had hibernated for a long time; after waking up, they would look for food to replenish their energy as quickly as possible.

Therefore, those awakened old monsters would often strike at densely populated areas nearby, devouring them to replenish themselves.

Of course, there were also smart ones who knew their strength had not yet reached its peak, so they would not strike too hard in one place. They would hit and run, so as not to arouse suspicion.

After all, in the early stages of the Spirit Qi Surge, the Heavenly Pride of the era were still quite capable of fighting, and since their strength had not yet recovered, a moment of carelessness could lead to them being killed in return.

Only after they had stored enough energy and their strength had recovered would they feel safe and bold enough to slaughter at will.

By then, it wouldn't matter if those so-called Heavenly Pride didn't appear; as long as they dared to show up, they would just be serving themselves up on a platter.

However, the approach of Cangjian Villa did give him some inspiration; these old monsters coveted their bodies and couldn't wait to devour them until not even a scrap was left.

Just as those people said, their aura had an inexplicable attraction to the old monsters, and it was also like a candle in the dark; as long as it bloomed slightly, it could continuously attract the old monsters to come.

As long as he could spread his own aura and let those old monsters perceive it, they would swarm over.

Possessing the Eight-Cornered Prison-Suppressing Tower, plus his various trump cards, Shen Yu was confident that he could make those old monsters come and never return.

It was just that no matter how much his aura bloomed, it was impossible for old monsters tens of thousands of miles away to perceive it; could it be that he had to go from place to place?

He shook his head, suppressing this unrealistic idea for now. He didn't know if the old monsters would be wiped out, but he would definitely be exhausted to death.

"Lord Shen, Lord Shen!"

Just at this moment, a panicked voice came from outside the office; it was the voice belonging to Yu Renqing.

Listening to this voice, it was hurried and carried a bit of anxiety, as if there was something very important.

Upon hearing such shouting, Shen Yu walked out quickly, and some doubts also surfaced in his heart.

Didn't this Yu Renqing go back with the people from Cangjian Villa? How could he have returned to Da'an City?

"Presumptuous, this is the Black-Clad Guard, how dare you bark at will!"

"I want to see Lord Shen, I want to see Lord Shen, I have important matters to report!"

"Let him in!"

After hearing Shen Yu's voice from inside the door, the Black-Clad Guard at the door immediately let him pass, allowing the weak youth who looked disheveled to rush in.

"My Lord!" When he saw Shen Yu walking over, Yu Renqing staggered and fell to the ground, looking extremely weak.

Not only was he covered in bloodstains and dust, but the wound on his chest also seemed to be continuously bleeding.

"My Lord, help me, My Lord!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"My Lord, we encountered an ambush after leaving Da'an City. Two seniors stayed behind to cover me. I risked my life to return to Da'an City, just hoping to ask for help from you!"

"Please, My Lord, save the two seniors, save the two seniors. If it's any later, the two seniors might really be in danger!"

"Is that so? Where were you ambushed?"

"My Lord, it was not far outside Da'an City, please come with me, My Lord!" As he spoke, Yu Renqing tried hard to crawl up, gritting his teeth and clutching his wound, looking like he would save his two benefactors even if he died.

Shen Yu then stepped forward and supported him, a strand of Inner Breath slowly flowing into his body to help him recover from his injuries quickly.

"Thank you, My Lord!"

"It's nothing, let's go, let's go save people first!" Dragging Yu Renqing, when he couldn't see, Shen Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, and he threw the Mountain and River Map in his hand outward.

Supported by Shen Yu, the two walked quickly toward the outside, but as they walked, Yu Renqing felt something was wrong.

Just a moment ago, they were on a bustling and lively street, but in the blink of an eye, how did they come to be outside the city?

The surroundings were green mountains and clear waters, a beautiful landscape, but he had never seen such scenery before.

You must know, he was a native of Da'an City, and he had long since traveled through all the surrounding scenery. There wasn't a single mountain or stream outside Da'an City that he didn't know.

But he could be completely certain that this was definitely not the area around Da'an City; where had he been brought to?

And just at this moment, Shen Yu, who had been supporting him, stopped his footsteps, and countless Runes suddenly appeared in front of him, rising into the air and trapping him inside in an instant.

Just as he subconsciously wanted to struggle, he suddenly felt the Inner Breath that Shen Yu had just transferred to him seal his meridians and dantian, making his cultivation unable to be mobilized by even half a point.

At the same time, a great pressure enveloped him, confining his entire body so that he couldn't even move an inch.

"My Lord, why are you doing this..."

"Nothing, it's just because you have the Sword Intent of Mu Zishan on you, so to be safe, I'll limit you first, for fear that you might struggle!"

"Lord Shen, could it be that you also covet the Sword Intent within my body?"

"Oh, you still dare to make a false countercharge. I have to say, your guts are really fat. You say you didn't run, and yet you even dare to lie in front of me; are you stupid!"
