33: Chapter 33 Peak Marquis-level Demon

Gao Xianzhong pointed at Team Leader Lu Jiancheng in a fit of rage, unable to speak for a long time.

The investigators nearby asked with confused faces: "Team Leader Lu, why aren't you opening the gates? These are all citizens of Great Zhou; we should help them if we can."

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng narrowed his eyes: "I just received news. At this stage, no refugees are allowed in!"

The other investigators were shocked.

"Why?"

"Who gave the order?"

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng glared with tiger-like eyes: "Why so many questions? Just obey orders!"

Captain Yan Hao asked: "Does Team Leader Xie know about this?"

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng's gaze was like a torch: "Since you have been assigned to my team, stop mentioning Xie Xiyun to me, do you understand?"

Captain Yan Hao's heart sank.

This Team Leader Lu Jiancheng definitely has a scheme.

I must tell Team Leader Xie immediately.

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng shot a cold look at Captain Yan Hao.

Immediately after, transparent tentacles appeared around Captain Yan Hao.

Before Captain Yan Hao could react, the tentacles tightly entangled him.

Captain Yan Hao roared in shock: "Team Leader Lu Jiancheng! What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to harm a comrade?"

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng laughed: "I dare not wear that hat; I am just inviting Captain Yan Hao to go down and rest for a few days."

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng signaled to the other investigators to take Captain Yan Hao away.

The other investigators had complex expressions.

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng frowned: "What? Do you want to end up like him too?"

The investigators shook their heads hurriedly and immediately took Captain Yan Hao away.

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng stared at the numerous refugees below and said heatedly: "It won't be long before I can become an S-rank Awakened."

"By then, it will be your death day, Qin! Xiao! Gan!"

He spat out the last three words while gritting his teeth.

...

Yang City, West District.

At the Four Kings Pavilion, Qin Xiaogan was hung in front of the gate, with an aura of death surrounding his face.

Feng Tao looked at Qin Xiaogan, whose hands and feet had all been severed, and felt unbearable in her heart.

"Xiaoqin, Sister will definitely save you!"

Inside the Four Kings Pavilion.

"King of Nightmares, Feng Tao from the Investigation Bureau requests an audience."

Wang Yi nodded: "Invite her in."

Soon, Feng Tao stepped in on high heels, swaying her slender waist as she walked into the Four Kings Pavilion.

Wang Yi's pitch-black mask faced Feng Tao, remaining silent.

Feng Tao got straight to the point: "Three cases of high-level Soul Reagent in exchange for Gan Xiaoqin's life."

Wang Yi's face wore a smile: "Straightforward. If Miss Tao had such realization a few days ago, wouldn't everyone have been happy?"

Feng Tao's face turned livid: "Release him now, and the reagents will be delivered shortly."

Wang Yi made a gesture of invitation: "As you wish."

Feng Tao snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Soon, at the entrance of the Four Kings Pavilion, Feng Tao gently took Qin Xiaogan down.

Immediately after, Feng Tao took a bottle of green reagent from her bosom and gave it to Qin Xiaogan to drink.

Qin Xiaogan's complexion became rosy to the naked eye.

Qin Xiaogan slowly opened his eyes and said weakly: "Sister Tao, why are you here?"

Feng Tao hugged Qin Xiaogan tightly: "Xiaoqin, you're okay now, it's okay, Sister is here to save you."

Feng Tao carried Qin Xiaogan on her back and walked out quickly.

Only after getting out of the Four Kings Pavilion did Feng Tao's hanging heart slowly settle.

"When we return to the Investigation Bureau, I will have Xie Xiyun find someone to help you reattach your limbs."

Gan Xiaoqin said softly on Feng Tao's back: "No need to trouble the Team Leader. My ability has a healing function; I will be fine in a few days."

Feng Tao felt a mix of emotions in her heart.

This kid hadn't joined the Investigation Bureau for long before being tortured like this by the Four Kings Pavilion.

If it weren't for his ability to heal injuries.

He probably would have sacrificed himself long ago.

Feng Tao said in a gentle tone: "Xiaoqin, you have done so much for the Investigation Bureau; neither I nor Xie Xiyun will give up on you!"

Speaking of this.

Feng Tao's tone was even gentler: "Besides, you have saved me no less than three times. It is impossible for me to watch you die."

On Feng Tao's smooth back, Qin Xiaogan said calmly: "It is all what I should do. My original intention for joining the Investigation Bureau was to protect Great Zhou."

A layer of mist instantly welled up in Feng Tao's eyes.

What a good child, to have such high awareness at such a young age; he was simply born for the Investigation Bureau.

Just as Feng Tao was lost in thought.

Xie Xiyun's voice came from the communicator by her ear.

"Be careful, do not return to the Investigation Bureau."

Just as Feng Tao wanted to ask the reason, the communicator gave a busy signal.

Qin Xiaogan raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth lifting.

It seems the Investigation Bureau is in trouble again.

Feng Tao hurriedly dialed Shi Dachun's communicator: "Big Stone, after delivering the reagents to the Four Kings Pavilion, do not return to the Investigation Bureau yet. Wait for my notification."

The response came quickly from the other side of the communicator: "Yes!"

Feng Tao said worriedly: "Xiaoqin, I will take you back to my place first. You should use your ability to restore your limbs as soon as possible to ensure your self-preservation."

Qin Xiaogan asked suspiciously: "Did something happen, Sister Tao?"

Feng Tao shook her head: "I am not sure either, but I am afraid something major is about to happen."

Qin Xiaogan's gaze sharpened.

A blue light suddenly flashed at his waist.

Inside the Four Kings Pavilion.

Wang Yi was just about to use the reagent in front of her.

Qin Xiaogan's voice came into her mind.

"Send someone to find out the current location of the Investigation Bureau and keep an eye on Xie Xiyun."

Just as Wang Yi was about to instruct her subordinates.

Xiao Heizi appeared in front of Wang Yi like a ghost.

"Sister Yi, there is news."

Wang Yi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "What news?"

Xiao Heizi moved his gaze to the reagent at Wang Yi's feet: "Wow, Sister Yi, eating alone?"

Wang Yi smiled: "It was bestowed upon me by Emperor Qin. What? Do you have ideas?"

Xiao Heizi waved his hands quickly: "Misunderstanding, how would I dare? The reagent distributed to me is completely enough."

Wang Yi's smile faded, and she said coldly: "Get to the point."

Xiao Heizi said seriously: "A large number of refugees have gathered outside Yang City."

Wang Yi asked suspiciously: "In this day and age, refugees are normal. If you want me to tell Emperor Qin this, are you trying to get me killed?"

Xiao Heizi said in a deep voice: "What if there are hundreds of thousands of refugees? And the strangest thing is, the Investigation Bureau is not letting them into the city."

Wang Yi's expression changed: "Hundreds of thousands?!"

Xiao Heizi continued: "I had people inquire; they are all refugees from Coastal City. I'm afraid Coastal City has already fallen."

Wang Yi asked hurriedly: "Do you know the cause?"

Xiao Heizi nodded: "Big Face — a peak Marquis-level monster, has already swallowed and assimilated three cities."

"Swallowed and assimilated?"

"Every time Big Face swallows a unit, it can convert it into magic soldiers of the same rank."

Wang Yi's pupils shrank suddenly: "How far is Big Face from Yang City now?"

Xiao Heizi said in a deep voice: "Less than a thousand miles."

Wang Yi stood up, pondered for a long while, and said: "Immediately notify the members of the Four Kings Pavilion to execute the Sky Curtain Plan in advance."

Xiao Heizi looked shocked: "Do we not need to report to Emperor Qin?"

Wang Yi glanced at Xiao Heizi: "Bothering Emperor Qin with such a small matter? Neither you nor I have enough heads to lose."

"Do you understand?"

Xiao Heizi replied in fear: "Yes, that is the logic."
