Chapter 1749: Revenge

"Wu Bo..." Zhao Ping was filled with incomparable grief and indignation. He knelt on the ground, and tears fell once again.

A hero in his twilight years—although his name could only be recorded in files and sealed away forever, he would be remembered by others for all time. His ashes would be buried in the Hall of Heroes, and his name would also be remembered by others forever.

"Take Wu Bo... home." Chen Yu sighed deeply.

"Wu Bo, I am taking you home." Zhao Ping slowly lowered his body, picked up Wu Bo's corpse, and left with a face full of sorrow.

"Are you alright?" Chen Yu glanced at the young man: "I am Chen Yu."

"You are Mr. Chen?" The young man was delighted. He stood up and said: "I am fine, Mr. Chen. My captain is Su Yan. She told me that if I encountered something here that I couldn't solve, I could look for you."

"Hmm, that's right, I know Su Yan." Chen Yu nodded and said: "What kind of difficulty have you encountered this time?"

"My name is Zhou Wei. It is still about the Divine Way. Now the Apocalypse Society under their name has already reached out to the coastal areas of our country. Their leaders have been preaching there, bewitching people's hearts."

Zhou Wei said: "So we established a special task force for this, specifically to solve this matter."

"What is the mission?" Chen Yu asked.

"Infiltrate the interior of the Apocalypse Society, find a way to stop them from conducting missionary activities in our country, and it would be best to directly find the high-level members of the Apocalypse Society to negotiate," Zhou Wei said.

"This is probably a bit difficult. The purpose of the Apocalypse Society's establishment is to collect more Faith Power." Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly: "The person they serve most directly is Jiutun, this Great Demon who has just awakened."

"So for you to negotiate with them is equivalent to casting pearls before swine; it is of no use at all."

"I did not expect the problem to be much more serious than I imagined." Zhou Wei's brows locked tightly together: "I will report this matter to Captain Su to see how to proceed later."

"Tell her directly that she can leave this matter to me. There is no need to send more people here. The people of the Apocalypse Society are not ordinary people; they are Jiutun's confidants, and each one of them is very strong."

"Continuing to send people here will only increase the number of sacrifices. Let them focus on guarding the national borders and find a way to block the Apocalypse Society's missionary work within the country. Leave the rest to me," Chen Yu said.

"Is Mr. Chen planning to take action against the Apocalypse Society?" Zhou Wei was startled.

"They have already reached out to me, so I am simply retaliating," Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Besides, I have a bit of a personal grudge with Jiutun. Can't we just pull out this tumor while we are settling our grudge?"

"Alright then, thank you in advance, Mr. Chen. I will report this matter truthfully to the captain," Zhou Wei nodded slightly.

"Alright, Wu Bo has sacrificed himself this time; make proper arrangements for his funeral," Chen Yu said.

"I'm sorry, if it weren't for me... Wu Bo might not have died." Zhou Wei lowered his head, his face full of self-reproach.

"This matter is not your fault. Wu Bo stayed in this place for his whole life. Although the work he did was not on the front lines, compared to those on the front lines, the danger was not a bit less."

Chen Yu shook his head and said: "And I had long seen that his time was up. If you blame yourself, this is not what he would want to see."

"Send him off properly on his final journey; he will be able to rest in peace in the afterlife."

Zhou Wei nodded and left with Chen Yu.

After Wu Bo's remains were cremated, they were brought back to the country and welcomed with the status of a martyr. Finally, he was buried in the Hall of Heroes. This old man had no relatives or friends and had dedicated his own life.

Chen Yu was not idle either. Within half a month, he destroyed several strongholds of the Apocalypse Society. Both sides had their back-and-forth, but the Apocalypse Society's recent missionary activities were far worse than before; they were being suppressed quite severely.

"Mr. Chen, sorry to disturb you." This day, Xingzi found Chen Yu.

She should have been promoted recently; her entire spirit and energy were different. As Chuan Naizi's aunt, she had the same stubbornness in her bones as Chuan Naizi.

It was just that she was a qualified politician who would weigh the pros and cons before taking action on anything, unlike Chuan Naizi, who would go to execute certain things on a whim.

"Does Ms. Xingzi have any business?" Chen Yu asked.

The faction that Xingzi belonged to was pro-China, so Chen Yu's attitude toward this woman was still considered polite.

"I came here this time mainly to chat with Mr. Chen about the Apocalypse Society." Xingzi knelt on the ground: "Two months ago, the Apocalypse Society appeared out of nowhere and wantonly promoted their doctrines, attracting many residents to join the Apocalypse Society."

"But as the number of followers of the Apocalypse Society grew, more and more people went missing, and there were more unstable factors in society. So our high-level officials, under pressure, defined the Apocalypse Society as a cult."

"You finally reacted?" Chen Yu looked at Xingzi with surprise.

Actually, he had thought about using the Fusang authorities to suppress the Apocalypse Society, but thinking about this magical place where various societies ran rampant, their tolerance for such sects should be quite high.

So Chen Yu dismissed this thought, but what he did not expect was that Xingzi would actually take the initiative to come to him. Did they really define the Apocalypse Society as a cult?

"Actually, just when the Apocalypse Society was first established, our relevant departments noticed it, but they also had people supporting them from behind, so we couldn't suppress them with great fanfare," Xingzi said: "Recently, our minister achieved victory in some struggles, so we managed to turn the tide. Now it is time to suppress the Apocalypse Society."

"That's good." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "You should have done this long ago. You should know what the Apocalypse Society has done. The sooner this social tumor is removed, the sooner there will be peace."

"Yes, but Mr. Chen, we need your help." Xingzi pondered for a moment and said: "The Apocalypse Society is not as simple as it appears on the surface. They have the shadow of the Divine Way behind them. This organization, which has existed for hundreds of years and is composed of various Onmyoji and Divine Officials, is recognized by the people of Fusang."

"So the real opponent is the Divine Way. For this problem, I would like to ask Mr. Chen to take action and assist us."

"You officials are best at confusing black and white, and they are a cult organization themselves, so as long as the officials define them as such, it should be quite easy to knock them off their pedestal, right?" Chen Yu said.

"It is easy to pull them down from the pedestal, but the important thing is who is behind them..." Xingzi hesitated for a moment and said: "You also know that they resurrected Jiutun."
