A host came onto the stage, dressed in a somber Zhongshan suit. As he stepped forward, the crowd fell silent.

At first, no one spoke.

"Hello everyone. Thank you for coming from all directions. It's not easy to gather in such a dangerous and serious environment."

The man wore glasses and looked to be about fifty years old. Yuan Mu Ye stared intently, hoping to discern something about him.

But upon closer inspection, he couldn't gauge the man's strength at all.

If he couldn't tell, there was only one possibility: the man was far stronger than Yuan Mu Ye.

It seemed this headquarters truly held hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Yuan Mu Ye finally understood how weak he was.

"My name is Tie Yuan. I'm the deputy director. I believe most of you know me. If you don't, it doesn't matter. You will get to know me and become familiar with me in the future."

As he said this, the crowd remained silent, as if feeling immense pressure.

After a pause, he continued.

"I will now explain the purpose of this meeting. It's simple: to report on the evil spirits we've exterminated across the province recently, as well as the current situation and the state of the evil spirits in the province."

Everyone's expressions turned serious as they listened to him speak.

"Our province has a total of ten cities and fifty-five counties. Apart from the five cities and thirty counties that have fallen, the situation in the remaining areas is also precarious. Among them, Jiang City and Yun City have counties that have fallen, and the situation is extremely dire."

"Of course, the other three cities have only lost one county each, but the situation is still not optimistic. Currently, only our provincial capital has all of its counties intact. This is the current situation in our province."

After listening to Tie Yuan's introduction, Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

He hadn't expected the situation to be far worse than he'd imagined.

So many places had fallen, which meant the power of the evil spirits was much stronger than Yuan Mu Ye had anticipated.

Yuan Mu Ye took a deep breath, his expression changing slightly.

At this moment, Chief Chen suddenly said in a low voice, "Mu Ye, three of Jiang City's four counties have fallen."

Yuan Mu Ye glanced at Chief Chen in surprise.

This was something Yuan Mu Ye hadn't paid attention to before.

However, Yuan Mu Ye knew one thing: Huo City, where he had initially stayed, was already ruined.

"Currently, the most serious situation is in Jiang City. The last county in Jiang City is also on the verge of collapse. Therefore, we cannot allow this county in Jiang City to fall this time. Otherwise, the evil spirits will think that our Supernatural Special Forces Bureau really can't do anything about them."

Tie Yuan's tone was serious and angry as he said this.

"Alright, I'm done speaking. Next, let's have Deputy Director Cao of the Jiang City Supernatural Bureau tell us about the specific situation."

Deputy Director Cao cleared his throat and quickly walked to the stage without delay.

As Deputy Director Cao reached the stage, everyone's attention suddenly focused on him.

Yuan Mu Ye also locked onto him.

When he reached the stage, he began by saying, "Everyone, thank you for your hard work and dedication to the matters of Jiang City."

After saying this, he continued, "I won't waste any time with pleasantries. I'll get straight to the point. Currently, in this county, Yanjiang County, the total population is less than 100,000. There are three Supernatural Special Forces teams, with the strongest being the Yanjiang County Chief, whose strength is at the Guiyuan realm. Aside from him, everyone else is at the Ningqi realm or even lower. However, for protection, we have already sent at least fifty special supernatural members, including two at the Jushen realm and three at the Guiyuan realm. Currently, Yanjiang County has a total of only seventy special members… and none of them are Ningyuan realm experts."

Deputy Director Cao looked grave.

"After I finish discussing the deployment, I'll talk about the number of evil spirits we're facing…"

Yuan Mu Ye was shocked by these numbers.

He hadn't known about this situation before.

But after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, Yuan Mu Ye had been living in Yun City.

He hadn't paid any attention to the matters of Jiang City.

Hearing these numbers now was quite shocking.

In fact, when Yuan Mu Ye lived in Huo City, that county had already completely fallen, and the people above had basically given up on it.

Captain Gu and the Seventh Supernatural Special Forces team had persisted there.

But in the end, Huo City had still completely fallen.

Thinking about these things, Yuan Mu Ye felt a bit sad.

As the saying goes, a rabbit mourns the death of a fox.

That was probably what it meant.

Deputy Director Cao continued on stage, "Everyone, according to the information we have, there are currently five Grade Five evil spirits, dozens of Grade Four evil spirits, and needless to say, countless Grade Three and Grade Two evil spirits. Finally, there's also a Grade Six evil spirit sitting in command."

These words caused a stir among the crowd.

The appearance of a Grade Six evil spirit was something no one had expected.

"As you all know, Yanjiang County is our last line of defense in Jiang City. If Yanjiang County falls, Jiang City will also fall. Once Jiang City falls, the next city down the line is Hui City… and behind Hui City is the provincial capital."

Hearing this, everyone naturally understood the seriousness of the situation.

"The appearance of a Grade Six evil spirit was not warned about beforehand. Why are we only being told now?"

"That's right. A Grade Six evil spirit is equivalent to the peak of our Ningyuan realm. We were completely unaware of the appearance of such an evil spirit. Deputy Director Cao, aren't you being a bit excessive?"

Several old fellows questioned him.

Deputy Director Cao remained calm and said, "I only learned about this information recently. If I had known about it sooner, I would have informed you immediately."

Yuan Mu Ye frowned as he listened to these words.

It seemed everyone was quite wary of the Grade Six evil spirit.

Yuan Mu Ye had encountered a Grade Six evil spirit before and almost died at its hands. To this day, Yuan Mu Ye didn't know how he had escaped with his life. Recalling that experience, Yuan Mu Ye still felt a chill run down his spine.

A Grade Six evil spirit was definitely not something ordinary people could deal with.

No wonder these people were so afraid.

"Now is not the time to discuss this. Now is the time to discuss how to deal with the Jiang City crisis," Tie Yuan suddenly said.

Hearing this, no one dared to question him further.

"Deputy Director Cao, you can now tell everyone what kind of help Jiang City needs."

Tie Yuan said calmly.

Tie Yuan had the highest level of strength and position here, so naturally, no one dared to object.
