Chapter 636: Chapter 173: Great Revenge Achieved, Life and Death are Impermanent (6K Words for Monthly Votes)_3
Just now, only Xu Shu had entered the coffin. Could he have eaten Qiansui? That’s unlikely…
Xu Shu was a bit puzzled as well.
Yang God’s Remains?
Was that Qiansui, the Yang God’s Remains?
Wasn’t she just inside the coffin a moment ago?
Xu Shu, with some doubts, also took a glance and found the coffin completely empty; even the clothes he had stripped off were gone.
“Damn, that thing couldn’t have come back to life, could it?” Xu Shu became alert.
“Come back to life? Logically, it shouldn’t… Anyway, let’s get out of here first.”
Yu Mingluan felt that he still lacked a deep understanding of these things. Currently, everyone was in bad shape with not much strength left for a fight. They couldn’t afford to take risks, so he grabbed Xu Shu and they started running like the wind.
His speed was very fast. In less than ten breaths, they had already reached a place Xu Shu had been to before.
Along the way, they encountered many guards still patrolling with white plastic bags over their heads, but all they felt was a gust of wind; when they looked up, they saw nothing.
Not only did they not see anyone, but their heads were gone too.
When they reached the top floor of the North Building, Yu Mingluan stopped, suddenly sniffed, and frowned.
There was a stench in the air.
The smell of rotting, sour pungency filled the place.
This was where “Impermanence” had fought.
Yu Mingluan didn’t dwell on these matters and instead, waited on the spot with Xu Shu.
After a little while, Xu Shu saw fist-sized halos appear on the smooth, white walls in the middle.
These halos, like ripples from raindrops hitting a lake surface, gradually spread and connected with each other.
This was the entrance to the ruins.
After waiting for a moment, the ripples in front of them formed a passage tall enough for a person and still expanding, but Yu Mingluan had already pulled Xu Shu along: “Let’s go!”
With a swish, they passed through barrier after barrier and entered the light-materialized passage, feeling a threadlike pull on their bodies.
The passage grew narrower and narrower, as if the surroundings were squeezing in on them. After walking dozens of steps, it suddenly opened up.
Whoosh!
A beam of sunlight fell from the sky, bright and dazzling.
When Xu Shu had entered the Heroic Society’s ruins, it had just turned night. Now, after several hours, it was already broad daylight.
Xu Shu looked around and found himself in a rather spacious warehouse, in a very hidden location, surrounded by towering stacks of long shipping containers.
Not far away was a cargo port, bustling with activity and filled with shouts of workers who had come early in the morning to earn a living.
“Is that the Cao Gang over there?” Xu Shu guessed.
Yu Mingluan nodded: “Yes. This place is open for only a short time each day, just at sunrise and sunset. At all other times, it simply doesn’t exist. Logically, they should all be gathering here now, preparing to go in and out.”
“So that’s how it is,” Xu Shu suddenly realized, clarifying a previous doubt.
No wonder they dared to conduct such business openly within the safe zone.
Taking the shady part of their business to the outskirts, in the slums, it seemed every aspect of the work was not to be seen in daylight.
But in reality, the entrance to the Heroic Society was right across from the Cao Gang, in this port area where vehicles came and went without drawing attention.
The entrance opened twice a day, not lasting more than half an hour each time. With a little control, they could easily avoid official scrutiny.
Moreover, who knew how many insiders they had infiltrated into the system.
A perfectly executed plan; probably even the Cao Gang was unaware that the “Heroic Society” they were in cahoots with was right under their noses.
While they were talking, a group of strong men with gray headbands and clubs surrounded them, cursing fiercely:
“Who are you people?”
“Where did you come from?!”
“Get lost, this isn’t the place for you!”
These people’s cars came to a stop behind them. Inside, some people with their heads covered, curious and nervous, were peering out.
These were the Heroic Society’s enforcers, also known as the “transport team”. They didn’t know that their den had been raided and were ready to drive away Xu Shu and Yu Mingluan, these unwelcome visitors.
The next second, they saw the light.
A strong light engulfed the entire warehouse, and all the Cao Gang enforcers who had come to deliver goods were nearly annihilated in a single encounter.
The few remaining stragglers were also pursued and taken down by Xu Shu, one punch each, all killed.
In front of Yu Mingluan, Xu Shu didn’t let the Guanyin statue devour anyone.
His image now was of being bright and honest; consuming people was something that had nothing to do with Xu Shu.
After dealing with the remnants of the Heroic Society, Yu Mingluan cleaned the bloodstains on his body and then said seriously:
“Xu Shu, this is not over yet. The Jianqi Sect has taken root in the safe zone. I don’t know what they really want to do, but I must report this directly to either Han Mo or Zou Wanqing.”
Xu Shu nodded; this matter could not be taken lightly.
Although he was not familiar with the name Zou Wanqing, the fact that Yu Mingluan listed her alongside Han Mo indicated that this person must be the other Demigod stationed in the D8B3 area.
Yu Mingluan continued: “The Judgement Department will set up a special task force to focus on eliminating the Cao Gang and the remnants of the Heroic Society. There will inevitably be some that slip through the net. Their higher-ups have been dispatched, and their men may not remember you, but you should also be careful to prevent trouble before it happens.”
“Alright, I will be careful,” Xu Shu first agreed and then thought of something, asking, “Bishop, if I want to actively join the Judgement Department’s task force, what are my options?”
