217: Chapter 218 Supporting Old Man Shen

The message was sent by Director Liu, but it only said to come to the Demon Suppression Division immediately, as there was an urgent matter to discuss.

However, the message did not specify what the matter was.

Despite some doubts in his heart, Lin Ye immediately rushed to the Demon Suppression Division.

By the time he arrived, several people were already sitting in the conference hall, all of whom were at the Captain level.

Lin Ye swept a glance over the room; there were eight people in total, four of whom were familiar Faces, all teammates from Qishan Village last time.

Zhang He was sitting near the door, clearly not ranked very high among the many Captains.

Yang Tiexin was quite impressive, sitting directly in the first seat on the left.

Seeing Lin Ye enter, Zhang He immediately stood up to greet him, then patted the chair beside him: "Brother Lin, come, sit here."

Lin Ye didn't refuse, walked over to Zhang He's side, and plopped down.

"Brother Zhang, do you know what the situation is now?"

Lin Ye leaned over to Zhang He's ear and asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Zhang He's expression became a bit more solemn: "I'm not too sure about the specifics, but for Director Liu to make such a big fuss, the matter probably won't be small."

Clearly, the other party didn't know the purpose of this meeting either.

Fortunately, in less than a moment, Director Liu walked in quickly.

The Captains stood up to salute upon seeing him, and Director Liu waved his hand, signaling everyone to sit down.

"I'll keep it short." Director Liu spoke very quickly.

"I've gathered you all here today because there is an urgent matter that requires your handling.

Five days ago, Hantie Town reported a message stating that there was a suspected Demon causing trouble there, and Captain Shen was ordered to investigate.

However, just a moment ago, the Demon Suppression Division suddenly received a distress signal sent by Captain Shen."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence instantly. Several Captains exchanged glances, their expressions looking rather grim.

Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Distress signal?!

This meant that Old Man Shen had encountered trouble he couldn't resolve.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Lin Ye would have wanted to leave the seat immediately.

"As you all know, Captain Shen is a veteran of the Demon Suppression Division and has very rich experience in dealing with Demons."

Director Liu continued.

"For him to send a distress signal, it means the situation there has reached an uncontrollable level.

Time waits for no one. Now that Commander Zhuge has not yet returned, everything can only be decided by us."

Yang Tiexin interjected at this moment: "I wonder if Captain Shen's current location has been confirmed?"

"According to the positioning of the demon suppression token, he is currently located thirty miles west of Hantie Town, in a place called Wild Wolf Gully."

As the supervisor of the Logistics Department, Director Liu can view the locations of all personnel except for the Commander.

"Wild Wolf Gully?"

Zhang He's brows were tightly locked at this moment, and he couldn't help but mutter.

"If I remember correctly, that should be a mass grave, right? Why did Old Man Shen run there?"

Immediately after, another Captain asked: "Has Captain Shen transmitted any information regarding the Demon, such as its rank?"

The reason he asked this was to confirm the safety level of this rescue mission.

If the opponent's strength is too strong, then it's better to honestly wait for the Commander to return, so as not to throw one's life away in vain.

"No. The previously reported message suspected a Seventh-Rank Evil, but as of now, it is definitely more than just Seventh-Rank.

After all, Captain Shen's cultivation is at the Early Stage of the Sixth Rank, and with the various auxiliary means of the Demon Suppression Division, it should be more than enough to deal with Demons below the Sixth Rank.

So..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.

For Elder Shen to send a distress signal, it means that what he encountered is most likely a Sixth-Rank Evil.

Everyone naturally understood the implied meaning of Director Liu, and for a moment, they all fell into silence.

Demons are different from exotic beasts; dealing with these things has always been about using the strong against the weak, or using many against few.

At the same Realm, human Martial Artists generally only get bullied when facing Demons.

There is no way around it; the methods of Demons are too strange and unpredictable, and cannot be judged simply by Realm.

Facing a Sixth-Rank Evil, no one present dared to guarantee that they could definitely suppress it.

"Sir, I will go!" Lin Ye stood up, his tone decisive.

The next second, the gazes of everyone else in the hall fell upon him in unison.

Director Liu glanced at him, seemingly having expected this, but still asked: "Are you sure you want to go?"

"I am sure." Lin Ye's attitude was firm.

A mere Sixth-Rank Evil, he didn't take it seriously.

What he was more worried about now was whether Old Man Shen could hold on until he arrived to provide support.

Director Liu nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then he turned to look at the others: "Besides Captain Lin, is there anyone else willing to accompany him?"

His thinking was simple; although Lin Ye had impressive strength, he lacked experience in dealing with Demons after all, so it would be best to have a veteran of the Demon Suppression Division go along.

"Director Liu, count me in." Seeing that his good brother Lin Ye had volunteered, Zhang He naturally couldn't act like a coward anymore.

"Good, is there anyone else willing to go?"

As Director Liu spoke, his gaze fell on Yang Tiexin, who was on the side.

"Captain Yang, you have the most seniority in the Demon Suppression Division and the most experience in dealing with Demons. If you go, this matter can be handled more securely."

Yang Tiexin was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded: "Fine, I'll go."

Seeing that Yang Tiexin accepted the task, a satisfied smile appeared on Director Liu's Face, and he immediately made the decision: "Then this support mission will be carried out by the three of you together. Please be sure to be careful!"

"Yes!"

The three of them didn't delay; after leaving the conference hall, they walked towards the stables.

The horses of the Demon Suppression Division were all carefully cultivated, each with a sturdy physique and explosive endurance, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day.

The three of them each chose a warhorse and rode straight out of the Demon Suppression Division.

In principle, riding horses in the inner city is not allowed, but now, riding horses is the principle.

The guards along the way recognized the identities of the three and knew that this was an emergency situation, so how would they dare to step forward to stop them? They all retreated to make way.

Just like that, the three of them and their three horses left Qingfeng County without any obstruction.

"Brother Lin, what are your plans? How will you arrange things when we arrive?" Zhang He turned his head and asked.

"This... Captain Yang, what do you think?" Lin Ye looked at Yang Tiexin.

After all, nominally, the other party was the commander-in-chief of this support operation, so he had to give him some Face.

Of course, the premise was that this guy wouldn't engage in personal vendettas and deliberately sabotage this support operation.

"First, go to the Demon Suppression Division station in Hantie Town to inquire about the general situation, and then go to Wild Wolf Gully to rendezvous with Captain Shen.

If the rank of the Demon is not high, we will join forces to resolve it.

If it is impossible to do so, we will prioritize saving people."

It must be said that although Yang Tiexin was a bit petty, he hadn't lost his bottom line as a person.

Regardless of how much enmity the two had behind each other's backs, once it involved an Demon, they had to be united against the outside.

"Good." Lin Ye nodded.

The three of them rode fast, and in less than half a day, they arrived at Hantie Town.
