Chapter 47 Bad News

Everyone frowned and their expressions gradually turned ugly when they suddenly heard what Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said.

After waiting for a while, someone finally spoke, "Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, what exactly is the bad news?"

Everyone's eyes fell on Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, waiting for him to continue.

He looked grave and then slowly said, "According to our informants, another mass of Yin energy has gathered nearby. It's very likely that the Level 6 Evil Ghost has gathered another group of new Evil Ghosts. It seems they are determined to take Yanjiang County."

"How many Evil Ghosts are coming this time? Do we have detailed data?"

An old man stood up. He looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, with a flowing aura. His cultivation was at the Jūshen realm (Gathering Spirit).

"Elder Kuang, I'll distribute the detailed data to you right away."

After he spoke, someone came forward and distributed the detailed data to everyone.

Yuan Mu Ye also received a copy. The number of Evil Ghosts this time was double that of last night, reaching about four thousand. In addition, the Level 5 Evil Ghosts had also been replenished.

But there was one good thing: no Level 6 Evil Ghosts had appeared.

It seemed that even among so many Evil Ghosts, it wasn't easy to produce a Level 6 Evil Ghost.

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu remained silent, not urging anyone.

After everyone had looked at the data for a while, he said, "I wonder what everyone thinks?"

Everyone's expressions were quite heavy. The Evil Ghosts were coming fiercely this time, and dealing with them would obviously not be easy.

After waiting for a while, someone said, "Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, according to the current situation, our Special Spirit Squad members add up to less than two hundred. The enemy has four thousand. We can only rely on Yanjiang County's city defense formation to hold on here. Otherwise, going out would be certain death."

"That's right, and we don't know how long we can hold on like this. Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, I think it's best to ask for reinforcements."

Someone followed up.

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu listened to their opinions but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he remained silent, but nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening to everyone.

After waiting for a while, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu's gaze suddenly fell on Yuan Mu Ye, and then he said to Yuan Mu Ye, "Deputy Director Yuan, what do you think about this matter?"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Yuan Mu Ye.

Currently, apart from Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, Yuan Mu Ye and a Ningyuan realm (Core Formation) expert from Huicheng were probably the strongest here.

Yuan Mu Ye's expression changed slightly and said, "Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, I think they're right. We must do both: hold our ground and seek reinforcements."

"That's right, Deputy Director Yuan is right."

Someone started to echo Yuan Mu Ye's words.

Yuan Mu Ye's expression was calm. If the current situation continued, Yanjiang County would not be able to hold out for long.

After all, the number of Special Spirit Squad members was limited, while the number of Evil Ghosts seemed infinite.

This situation was really棘手 (jíshǒu, thorny, troublesome).

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu said, "In that case, let's send people to ask for reinforcements on one hand, and hold this city on the other."

"Alright."

Everyone responded in agreement.

After the basic defense policy was decided, everyone dispersed to discuss countermeasures.

Yuan Mu Ye also walked out of the conference room because he had something else to do.

However, before leaving, he briefly told Deputy Bureau Chief Liu about this matter. After listening, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu didn't say much, and quickly said, "Alright, only a few dozen people. I believe there won't be any problem accommodating them. Deputy Director Yuan, but our primary task is to safely get through tonight's danger."

Yuan Mu Ye nodded and said, "I understand."

Yuan Mu Ye didn't expect the Evil Ghosts to return so quickly.

This was something he hadn't even thought of.

To have such speed, there was only one possibility: the Evil Ghosts that attacked last night were only half of their forces. They still had the other half of the Evil Ghosts hiding as reserve strength.

Originally, they might have thought that the Evil Ghosts that appeared last night would be enough to take Yanjiang County, but they didn't expect an accident to occur. They didn't take Yanjiang County at all, so they brought out the prepared reserve forces.

Thinking of this, Yuan Mu Ye was silent for a while. If they could get through tonight's crisis, things should be easier in the future.

However, four thousand Evil Ghosts were still a lot of pressure.

Outside, Yuan Mu Ye saw everyone repairing the talismans and setting up some magical artifacts.

Tonight would be a fierce battle, and everyone here had probably heard about it.

So everyone's faces were very serious.

Just then, someone walked towards Yuan Mu Ye, "Brother Yuan."

Yuan Mu Ye took a closer look and saw Wang Ya Jie. Wang Ya Jie stared at Yuan Mu Ye and said, "Brother Yuan, how is it?"

"Tonight's operation will be more dangerous. You need to be mentally prepared."

Although Yuan Mu Ye didn't say much, Wang Ya Jie actually understood.

He nodded and didn't ask too much.

It was only daytime now, and Yuan Mu Ye didn't delay. He quickly returned to his room, intending to improve his strength before anything else.

Yuan Mu Ye now had more than 20,000 negative emotion points.

Yuan Mu Ye found a quiet room, sat down cross-legged, and controlled his consciousness to enter the system.

In the vast darkness, Yuan Mu Ye said, "System, I want to buy cultivation techniques."

"Okay."

With that, a shop was displayed in front of Yuan Mu Ye.

There were many cultivation techniques, but they were expensive. Some cultivation techniques actually cost tens of thousands of negative emotion points.

Yuan Mu Ye's Lion's Roar Skill was only cultivated to the second level, so Yuan Mu Ye generally didn't use it much when dealing with Evil Ghosts.

The power of the second level was still a bit weak.

With his current negative emotion points, it was actually not cost-effective to buy a new cultivation technique. The growth would be too slow.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Mu Ye made preparations. He planned to buy the third level manual of the Lion's Roar Skill, and the thirteenth level manual of the Frozen Palm. After buying them, Yuan Mu Ye was basically broke again.

This made him a little distressed.

After purchasing them, Yuan Mu Ye didn't delay and quickly began to cultivate.

Time passed by, second by second, taking seven or eight hours.

Yuan Mu Ye had just finished practicing the Lion's Roar Skill and the Frozen Palm.

He clearly felt that his aura had also increased, and his whole body's aura had become much more profound.

He originally wanted to try the power of the techniques, but it wasn't easy to test them in Yanjiang County.

At this time, it was already dark outside, and Yuan Mu Ye clearly felt a very strong Yin energy.

And by this time, Yuan Xiao Yao still hadn't woken up from her slumber.

It seemed that this time, Yuan Xiao Yao would definitely break through her original level and enter the ranks of Level 5 Ghosts.
