48: Chapter: Reactions from all parties, secret escort

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the early morning of the next day.

In the conference room of the Mingde City Martial Security Bureau, besides Lu Yi, Su Ya, and Lin Shao, who only suffered from the aftershocks of the explosion because they were in mid-air at the time, their injuries were the lightest.

The remaining three Martial Generals, including Zhang Kai, were all quite battered, and the more severely injured had already been sent to the hospital.

"How is the situation?" Lu Yi asked in a deep voice, "This time we underestimated the enemy's strength. All the injured must be saved at all costs!"

"Seventy-two people participated in this mission, twenty-one died, including six Martial Masters.

Thirty people are seriously injured and are currently receiving full-scale treatment, and the rest are lightly injured."

As the young officer reported, the atmosphere in the conference room tensed up again, but it only lasted for a moment.

Lu Yi looked at Zhang Kai and the other two, "Thank you for your help, three teachers. We will handle this matter, but I hope the three teachers will temporarily not spread this matter."

Zhang Kai had also witnessed Luyin's strangeness, so he nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, we know what should and shouldn't be said.

We are going back today. We have already been delayed for a few days. If we don't go back, it will delay these students."

"Alright, then I won't see the three of you off!"

After bidding farewell to the three, Lu Yi returned to the conference room and looked at the people in front of him, "Now that Luyin has been brought under control, and her background is still uncertain, the three of us will send her back to headquarters."

A Martial Security Bureau director's expression was somewhat troubled, "Now that our Five Cities have been damaged and the Beast God Sect has not yet been removed, if the three of you all leave..."

His words were to the point, and everyone present understood the meaning.

Lu Yi nodded and looked at Lin Shao and Su Ya, "Who among you is willing to stay?"

Lin Shao didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard, while Su Ya, who was by his side, glanced at Lin Shao with a hint of disdain, "I'll stay. I won't go back until I kill all those rats from the Beast God Sect."

The others' expressions brightened upon hearing this. With the suppression of a Martial General Realm expert, even if they had limited power available now, they wouldn't fear the Beast God Sect launching a counterattack.

"Alright, it's decided then. Everyone must handle this matter properly."

"Understood!"

Everyone answered in unison. If such a thing happened in the area they governed and they didn't handle it well, they wouldn't need to keep their positions.

"Ye Jun stays, the rest can leave!"

Lu Yi suddenly said, and everyone was first stunned, then they looked at Ye Jun in surprise before leaving one after another.

Only Ye Jun remained silent, seemingly not surprised by this.

Soon, only two people were left in the entire conference room. They looked at each other, and neither spoke for a while.

"The higher-ups have already dealt with what happened back then, you can go back now!"

Lu Yi patted Ye Jun's shoulder and said in a deep voice, but Ye Jun's eyes remained calm, like a pool of stagnant water.

"Dealt with? Heh, is it the money they gave or something else? Weren't those living lives?

Just for a few second generations, they sacrificed their lives, and in the end they were still called useless dogs?"

Ye Jun's calm questioning made Lu Yi lower his head, his fists tightly clenched, with even blood oozing out.

"It's useless to say more now that things have come to this. You can't defeat them. With your talent, you should have reached the Martial General Realm long ago. Why waste time in this small place?"

Lu Yi suddenly looked up at Ye Jun, "Even the Minister couldn't offend those people, and he could only do his best to protect you after you did that. Now that the storm has passed, you can go back and play your part.

In addition, the Minister asked me to convey something to you: if you want to change things, you have to climb higher."

After speaking, Lu Yi got up and prepared to leave. As he was about to close the door, he glanced at Ye Jun, who seemed to still be in a daze, "Tomorrow morning, I will escort Luyin back to headquarters!"

In the laboratory on the top floor of the old, dilapidated building, Li Wuji slowly opened his eyes, and feeling the power within his body, he couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"It seems Luo Xiu is about to break through!"

During this time, Luo Xiu had been trying to break through to the Martial General Realm. Li Wuji judged that the other party should be successful soon based on the growth of his own power.

At this moment, a mass of black shadow appeared on the ground beside him, and Shadow slowly emerged from it.

"Master, Luyin has been captured!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wuji raised an eyebrow, "What's the situation?"

He had been organizing potions or familiarizing himself with his power these past few days, and he didn't know what had happened outside.

Shadow quickly recounted the process of Luyin's capture. Li Wuji hadn't expected so many things to have happened in the past few days.

"Six Martial General Realm experts came out together. Even if we went all out, we couldn't stop them. Didn't you get the news in advance?"

"Reporting to Master, they weren't in Mingde City when they made their plan, and their target was very clear, as if they had known beforehand.

By the time this subordinate found out, they had already surrounded Luyin's base camp, and it was too late to leave."

"Interesting, how did they find Luyin?"

Luyin's base camp was very hidden, and when they made their move, they were led by six Martial General experts, as if they were certain Luyin was there.

"Where is Luyin being held?"

"Currently, she is being held nearby in the Martial Security Bureau, guarded by two Martial General Realm experts."

Upon hearing this, Li Wuji's face also showed a hint of solemnity, "It seems they attach great importance to Luyin. From this perspective, she should be in no danger in the near future."

"But Master, the three Martial Generals who came as reinforcements, except for one who is guarding the Five Cities, the remaining two are preparing to take Luyin back to headquarters for research, and they will depart tomorrow morning."

Shadow looked at Li Wuji's expression, and after hesitating for a moment, he still revealed this even worse news.

But instead of worrying, Li Wuji showed a hint of a smile, as if this was a good thing instead.

"The teachers from those academies have already left, plus the one who stayed behind, that means there will only be two Martial General Realm experts on their way back tomorrow when they escort her.

In that case, the difficulty of rescue will be reduced significantly. Do you know the escort route?"

Shadow shook his head in self-reproach, "Currently, I only know the time, but not the specific route!"

Li Wuji continued to ponder, and after a moment, he slowly spoke, "Have the sub-ants follow the vehicles tomorrow, and you sense them at all times. Also, have Yang Shuo prepare.

If Luo Xiu hasn't broken through before tomorrow morning, then you and he will go and cause some damage or expose some of the Beast God Sect's strongholds."

Shadow instantly understood Li Wuji's meaning and immediately nodded solemnly, "Master, rest assured, this subordinate will complete the mission even if it means death!"

After speaking, Shadow directly merged into the darkness and silently disappeared from this laboratory.
