Chapter 464: Chapter 390: Yangtou City

It had been a ferocious battle.

A one-sided, overwhelming massacre.

It had lasted for a little over an hour.

Inside the abandoned factory, bodies littered the ground and blood flowed like rivers.

Everyone from the Blood Handprint and the Public Security Bureau had been wiped out. Not a single one survived.

Wei Shang and Wei Nan looked at each other.

They looked at the mountain of bodies piled on the floor.

Their faces held no trace of joy.

Instead, a sense of melancholy settled in their hearts.

They couldn’t understand it. ’Why give up a good job at the Public Security Bureau to join the Blood Handprint?’

’To help them harm the innocent and forcibly take lives?’

Once the entire factory, inside and out, had been completely cleared...

Wei Shang took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello? Boss. Yes, everything’s been handled here. Han Yang was killed in action... Right, we’re heading back now!"

A few brief words.

Wei Shang hung up and led the men of the Right Guard out of the factory.

They drove back toward the city...

Back at the Public Security Bureau’s office building.

In the Director’s office, Lin Yi was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping tea.

He had, in fact, only just returned himself.

Maybe ten minutes ago.

Director Wu Guo stood before him, terrified, not daring to take a seat.

As soon as he saw Lin Yi finish his cup, he hurried forward, grabbed the teapot, and poured him another.

This continued until Wei Shang and Wei Nan also returned.

They walked into the office and announced with grim faces, "Lord General, the mission is complete!"

Lin Yi smiled lightly and nodded. "Come, sit. Have some tea."

At his words, Wu Guo produced two more teacups and poured one for each of them.

Seeing that the teapot was nearly empty...

...Wu Guo went to refill it himself.

A long moment passed. When he returned, Lin Yi looked up at him.

"Director Wu, Han Yang has been eliminated, and the Blood Handprint presence in Qishan City has been completely purged."

"It seems you’re the only one left, aren’t you?"

"So tell me, what do you intend to do?"

At these words, Wu Guo’s expression faltered, and he began to stammer.

"L-Lord General, I am guilty. I shouldn’t have gotten involved with the Blood Handprint, and... and I certainly shouldn’t have turned a blind eye to them..."

"I submit to your judgment, Lord General!"

Seeing Wu Guo’s terrified state, Lin Yi sighed softly.

"Director Wu, no one wants to pass judgment on you, and no one is going to."

"You need to search your own conscience and ask yourself!"

"As the Director of the Public Security Bureau, you really set an example, didn’t you!"

Lin Yi’s words caused Wu Guo’s face to darken further.

He looked as if he wanted the ground to swallow him whole.

Especially Lin Yi’s last line.

Wu Guo had "set an example" by joining the Blood Handprint.

It was precisely because he joined that many who were wavering were swayed to the side of the Blood Handprint.

That was how the current situation had come to be.

The entire Public Security Bureau was filled with members of the Blood Handprint...

And that was the main reason for the bureau’s complete downfall.

Lin Yi looked up at Wu Guo. "You deserve to die..."

The words left Wu Guo too terrified to speak.

Lin Yi finished another cup of tea and set the cup down on the coffee table.

He stood up. "Director Wu, everyone in the Public Security Bureau is gone now."

"You’re the only one left. What you do next is your decision."

With that said, Lin Yi walked straight out.

Wei Shang and Wei Nan followed close behind.

Just after they stepped out of the office...

...Lin Yi didn’t go far. He stopped in the hallway, seemingly waiting for something.

Neither Wei Shang nor Wei Nan dared to ask.

A long moment passed, perhaps three to five minutes.

BANG—

A gunshot shattered the silence.

Wei Shang and Wei Nan shot a glance back inside.

Lin Yi didn’t linger. "Go in and take care of the body," he murmured.

And with that, he walked toward the end of the hall.

The two nodded.

The moment they opened the office door, they saw Wu Guo’s body in the director’s chair.

He was slumped back against the chair.

There was a gaping wound on his right temple.

Blood was still trickling from it...

As they approached Wu Guo, they saw he was still clutching a pistol in his right hand.

At the sight, Wei Shang and Wei Nan said nothing.

They simply called someone to come and take care of the body.

...

After the Blood Handprint in Qishan City had been completely purged...

Lin Yi, Wei Shang, Feng Lei, Wei Nan, and Shan Kui...

...gathered to discuss their next move.

They decided to split up, each heading to a different city to hunt down the remaining Blood Handprint members.

This would save a great deal of time and allow them to complete the mission sooner.

Especially for Lin Yi.

The premonition in his heart was growing stronger.

He felt strongly that something major was about to happen in the New District.

But no matter who he asked, even when he called Chu Zhengxiong for an update...

...the man would only mention the good news, not breathing a single word about anything bad.

This only made Lin Yi more certain they were hiding something from him.

「Several more months passed in a flash.」

[Current Realm: Divine Abyss Realm]

[Current Source Qi: 71.12%]

Lin Yi woke up early one morning.

He checked his personal status panel and cultivation progress.

He saw that after several months of cultivation...

...although the growth of his Source Qi was a bit slow...

...it was at least increasing a little every day.

He believed that in less than a year, he might reach the critical point for a breakthrough.
