With Ghost Advisor’s words, Yuan Mu Ye gradually relaxed.

Without delay, he activated Lingbo Weibu (micro-steps) and rushed over. Before long, he arrived.

Entering the city, Yuan Mu Ye slowed down, walking at a normal pace towards the Spirit Control Bureau.

The people of Jiang City seemed to be living normal lives, but in reality, they were tense and anxious.

The food in the streets had basically been bought up. Even if you wanted to buy some, you couldn't.

Everyone was living in fear, and some couldn't help but move to Yun City and Hui City.

However, in the current situation, Yun City and Hui City might not be willing to accept people from here.

Of course, the rich and powerful had already fled.

Those who couldn't escape were basically people without much ability. To put it bluntly, they might as well stay here and wait for death.

Entering the Spirit Control Bureau, there were many spiritual special forces members inside.

Everyone was walking around, seemingly dealing with something.

Yuan Mu Ye had just entered the door and hadn't had time to register when Director Chen spotted him.

Director Chen didn't hesitate and quickly pulled Yuan Mu Ye, saying, "Mu Ye, don't register. We have a meeting."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye put down his pen and was pulled into the meeting room by Director Chen.

Today's meeting room felt different from usual. Overall, it felt very depressing, and there were some unfamiliar faces.

Deputy Director Cao wasn't sitting in the main seat today. The person in the main seat was an old man, about seventy years old. He didn't look very mighty, but the aura around him felt different.

Director Chen pulled Yuan Mu Ye to sit down and whispered, "Mu Ye, that's Director He, the director of our Jiang City Bureau."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He hadn't seen Director He for so long, and he couldn't help but be surprised and taken aback.

The old man's aura was indeed very strong.

Director He also noticed Yuan Mu Ye's arrival. His expression changed slightly, and he said, "Is everyone here?"

"Yes, everyone's here."

The person sitting on Director He's left was Deputy Director Cao, and the person sitting on his right was a young woman.

She was only in her twenties or thirties, but the aura she released was very strong.

Yuan Mu Ye saw through her realm at a glance. She was actually in the early stage of the Ning Yuan (Core Formation) realm.

Reaching this cultivation realm at this age was truly remarkable.

Although Yuan Mu Ye was in the He Shen (Spirit Unification) realm, he hadn't achieved it through his own cultivation.

Instead, he had relied on external factors to reach his current He Shen realm strength.

"Now that everyone's here, I won't waste any time. I believe everyone knows more or less about the current situation in Jiang City. If Jiang City falls, none of you here will escape responsibility."

Director He said weakly.

Everyone remained silent.

Yuan Mu Ye was still thinking about the situation in Yanjiang County.

When he came back, the situation there wasn't this bad, right?

Why did the old man's expression make it feel like the situation in Yanjiang County was going downhill?

Of course, Yuan Mu Ye didn't say much, even though he was thinking this.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Mu Ye suddenly heard a voice in his ear, "Mu Ye, something happened in Jiang City."

Director Chen's words made Yuan Mu Ye's expression tighten slightly, and he said, "What happened?"

"A wave of evil ghosts bypassed us from somewhere and is now approaching Jiang City, ready to attack us at any time."

Director Chen said to Yuan Mu Ye with a solemn expression, lowering his voice.

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's mind changed slightly. He didn't expect the evil ghosts to bypass them and come here.

"Jiang Lan, tell everyone about the situation."

Director He suddenly said.

The beauty next to him immediately stood up and said, "Okay."

Jiang Lan glanced at everyone and briefly explained the situation. According to the investigators' reports, thousands of evil ghosts were found ten kilometers outside Jiang City. Two ghost generals were personally leading the team, and it was clear that they were coming for Jiang City.

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became even more solemn.

"What do you think? Do you have any strategies to deal with the enemy?"

Director He asked everyone.

However, everyone remained silent.

Director He's gaze suddenly fell on Yuan Mu Ye. "Deputy Director Yuan, I heard you just came back from Yanjiang County. You should know the situation there. Tell everyone about it."

"Okay, I'll give a brief overview."

Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect Director He to recognize him.

After Yuan Mu Ye stood up, he quickly gave a general overview of the situation in Yanjiang County.

After listening, everyone's expressions became serious.

"However, the situation in Yanjiang County is relatively stable. How did those evil ghosts get here in Jiang City?"

Someone asked.

They wanted Yuan Mu Ye to answer.

Yuan Mu Ye said, "I don't know."

This answer clearly disappointed everyone.

Jiang Lan didn't hold back and said, "As someone who just came back from there, you actually say you don't know. Deputy Director Yuan, aren't you being a bit derelict in your duty?"

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye's expression changed slightly.

Just as he was about to say something, Director Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Secretary Jiang, your words are too harsh. This time, Deputy Director Yuan killed quite a few Level 5 evil ghosts and made great contributions to Yanjiang County's resistance against the evil ghosts."

"Really? Does he have that kind of strength?"

Jiang Lan realized that she couldn't see through Yuan Mu Ye's strength.

So, she was a little unsure. However, looking at how young Yuan Mu Ye was, he didn't seem like someone with much strength.

Moreover, he had climbed to this position at such a young age, so he was likely a beneficiary of nepotism.

What she, Jiang Lan, hated the most was nepotism.

"Secretary Jiang can try and see if I have the strength." Yuan Mu Ye didn't say anything unnecessary.

"Negative emotion points from Jiang Lan +399..."

"Come on, do you think I wouldn't dare?"

Jiang Lan released her aura, and everyone's expressions changed when they felt the aura she released.

"Secretary Jiang, you're already a Ning Yuan realm expert."

"Reaching this level of cultivation at such a young age, your future is limitless. We admire you."

Sounds of flattery rang out.

"With Secretary Jiang's strength, there might not be many young people in our entire Hu Province who are your match."

After being praised by everyone, an arrogant look appeared on Jiang Lan's face. She raised an eyebrow and said to Yuan Mu Ye, "What? Are you scared?"
