Chapter 715: We Go Down Too (9/10, Autumn Subscription)

However, the hostage in his hands had long since completed the throat-slitting.

The corpse collapsed, frozen by the frost, but it no longer mattered.

Luo Yijie thought so, and believed so as well.

But as the flow of time returned to normal, the corpse before his eyes suddenly let out an intense Phoenix Cry.

He immediately widened his eyes, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

The corpse of 'An Dong'er', whose throat had been slit, actually got up on its own!

'An Dong'er', had actually returned from the dead?!

"Captain Wu?!"

As Fang Yue's joyful voice rang out, Luo Yijie and Wang Zhengzhi saw, one after another, a cold flash of light streak past their eyes.

The next moment, the ice sculptures of the two of them simultaneously fell, heads hitting the ground.

Luo Yijie, ranked second in the Heaven Alliance, and Wang Zhengzhi, ranked third, were dead!

"Night... Captain?"

Captain Wu, who had just been revived, was still a bit dazed. Looking at Fang Yue before him, he felt it was all very unreal, as if everything were a dream.

And the scene before his eyes confused him even more.

Two strangers, heads fallen to the ground, bodies frozen into ice sculptures, dead on the floor.

And not far away, a muscular, one-armed brute was staring ferociously in his direction.

"What on earth is going on? Am I dreaming? My head... my head hurts so much..."

Captain Wu clutched his head, his brows tightly furrowed.

Fang Yue hurriedly fed him two pills and asked, "Captain Wu, how did you end up in Chunuan City? What happened in Qingsi County? Did the Phoenix Organization attack Qingsi County again and capture you and bring you here??"

"Qingsi County is fine. I took the initiative to leave Qingsi County and came to Chunuan City to find you. Did you forget? If you're alive, we'll meet in Chunuan City!"

Hearing Captain Wu say these words, Fang Yue smiled knowingly.

A warm feeling rose from his heart.

Although it had been some time since arriving in Chunuan City, Fang Yue had never felt the same warmth in Chunuan City as he had in Qingsi County.

Part of this was due to Fang Yue himself.

Arriving alone in Chunuan City to search for An Dong'er, in a Chunuan City that had essentially fallen entirely under the Phoenix Organization's control, Fang Yue was surrounded by enemies on all sides, unable to trust others too much. Naturally, he hadn't formed deep connections with anyone, and human ties were inevitably thin.

On the other hand, it wasn't convenient for Fang Yue to reveal his identity. He had been focused on cultivation and investigation, with little contact with people, and naturally lacked warmth.

But the friends he had made along the way in Qingsi County were different.

They were friends who had been through life and death together!

Fang Yue excitedly grasped Captain Wu's hand, deeply moved.

At this moment, Captain Wu suddenly seemed to remember something and asked excitedly, "Right, I know An Dong'er's whereabouts! She's being held by the Ox Seat in the laboratory of the Phoenix Organization's base in Chunuan City! Before I was captured, I overheard their researchers mention An Dong'er!"

Fang Yue froze upon hearing this.

"But... from what I know, the Rabbit Seat of the Phoenix Organization's Twelve Seats just said that An Dong'er has already been transferred to Qing Cheng."

"Qing Cheng? That shouldn't be! From what they said, An Dong'er is extremely important to them. There's no reason to transfer her for no apparent reason!"

Mentioning An Dong'er, Captain Wu's expression grew serious. He shook his head slightly, clearly trusting his own judgment, believing An Dong'er was still in the Phoenix Organization's base, suffering terribly!

Was the Rabbit Seat lying? Or was Captain Wu's information outdated?

Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, then chose to believe Captain Wu!

"Then let's find a way to break into the Phoenix Organization's base, find An Dong'er, and rescue her!"

"Alright! But I don't actually know where the Phoenix Organization's base is..."

Captain Wu's voice trailed off.

When he had just arrived in Chunuan City, it was exactly the moment Fang Yue had gone out to Dongliu Mountain to encircle and suppress the Night Thief.

The two of them had perfectly missed each other. Meanwhile, Captain Wu, newly arrived, immediately began investigating An Dong'er's whereabouts.

He quickly attracted the Phoenix Organization's attention and was captured. After some arrangements, he appeared at the Martial Decision scene, becoming its final reward.

Although the situation hadn't unfolded according to the Martial Decision's plan, the final outcome wasn't much different.

"We don't know where the Phoenix Organization is, but that's fine—someone does!"

As Fang Yue spoke, he turned his head to look at Tian Wangchuan, who had quietly retreated at some unknown point.

"Look, there's a lone Heaven Alliance leader over there. If we capture him and interrogate him harshly, we'll surely get information on the Phoenix Organization. Don't you think? Alliance Leader Tian!"

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.

As for Tian Wangchuan, like a mouse seeing a cat, hearing Fang Yue's voice, he was so frightened his hair stood on end.

He glanced back at Fang Yue in terror, then, while violently retreating, rushed to the edge of the high platform and leaped down!

He had actually jumped off the high platform to flee for his life!

This scene left Captain Wu dumbfounded.

He vaguely remembered that when he was gathering information, he seemed to have heard that the Heaven Alliance's leader, Tian Wangchuan, was a high-grade Human-Rank expert, the strongest person in Chunuan City.

Could it be... that the disheveled, panicked person fleeing for his life just now was truly the invincible Heaven Alliance leader spoken of by everyone?!

At this moment, Captain Wu was dumbfounded, feeling as if something had gone wrong somewhere.

It wasn't until Fang Yue let out a loud shout and chased him to the edge of the high platform, looking down, that Captain Wu suddenly snapped back to reality.

Below, amid flickering firelight, shadows layered upon shadows, as if the entire population of Chunuan City had gathered together, a dense mass of people.

"What on earth is this..."

Captain Wu was baffled, extremely baffled. It felt as though after being imprisoned and unconscious for a period, the world had suddenly changed, completely unlike the world he knew.

It wasn't until shouts of surprise rose from below, calling out Tian Wangchuan's name, that Captain Wu truly confirmed that the disheveled person was indeed the strongest in Chunuan City!

And the Fang Yue who could chase the strongest person in Chunuan City, that high-grade Human-Rank expert, into such a panicked flight... what level of strength must he have reached?

Captain Wu stared blankly at Fang Yue beside him, his thoughts surging, a tangle of emotions.

He still remembered when they first met in Mo Cun, Fang Yue's strength was far beneath his own.

Yet in the blink of an eye, Fang Yue had grown into a terrifying presence he could only look up to.

"Hold on tight, we're going down too!"

At Fang Yue's loud shout, Captain Wu snapped back to reality.

But the next moment, he noticed Fang Yue had suddenly stopped moving, a look of confusion crossing his face.

Following Fang Yue's gaze downward, Captain Wu froze in shock.

Below, a small area of people was in chaos.

And at the heart of the chaos was a man with a head as large as a bushel, biting and killing someone beside him!

Panic erupted; those around the giant-headed fiend fled in terror.

"A… Ghoul?!"

Captain Wu froze in place.

Could a city the size of Chunuan City really be invaded by a Ghoul?!
