605: Section 605

"Hahaha... goodbye, goodbye!"

Yang Shushan smiled and said a few words into the phone.

Then Yang Xiaoke said: "Grandpa, what exactly are you going to do?"

"Aren't you already retired?"

It was clear that Yang Xiaoke's tone was becoming anxious.

She was genuinely worried about the old man's physical condition; after all, he was at such an advanced age.

Moreover, he himself had said he wanted to leave the Martial Suppression Bureau to stay with his great-grandchild and family and enjoy his remaining years in peace.

But now, Yang Shushan had changed his mind.

Hearing his granddaughter's inquiry on the phone, Yang Shushan smiled.

"Xiaoke, you aren't a child anymore, why do you have so many assumptions?"

"Many things are often beyond one's control!"

"Besides, your grandfather's shoulders still bear a heavy burden; these are weighty responsibilities!"

"If I, your grandfather, do not step forward at this time, who else can stand up?"

"Once you enter the Martial Suppression Bureau, you are a member for life!"

"Alright, don't think too much. After I finish this mission, I will submit my retirement application to General Director, and after that, I won't worry about anything anymore!"

"Let those young people figure it out themselves!"

"Xiaoke, I won't call your parents; I don't want to hear them nagging again!"

"Tell them for me later!"

After he finished speaking, Yang Xiaoke began to cry intermittently on the phone.

The sound of sobbing echoed incessantly through the phone.

Yang Shushan furrowed his brows: "What are you doing? I'm just going to do some of my official duties, why are you crying?"

"Alright, stop crying, that's all for now!"

After saying this, Yang Shushan did not give Yang Xiaoke another chance to speak.

He hung up the phone directly.

Then he let out a long sigh.

He raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes a few times.

Just as he was about to turn back to his office, Qu Yan patted him on the shoulder.

"Holy crap..."

Yang Shushan was startled, quickly turned around, and cursed.

That moment just now had truly scared him.

Qu Yan glanced at him: "How old are you? Why is your mouth still so foul?"

"You scared me! How long have you been eavesdropping behind me?"

Yang Shushan said with a look of complaint.

Qu Yan glanced at him: "Eavesdropping? Why would I eavesdrop on you making a phone call?"

"I just came out, thinking of telling you not to go back in once you finished your call!"

"To avoid having to listen to General Director, that bastard, talk nonsense!"

"Let's just leave, go to the Forbidden Zone, I've already thought it through!"

"Go to the Southeast War Zone, Old Celestial Master and General Yi Nanshan are all there!"

"Northwest and Northeast War Zones both have Meng Die and Yang Biao!"

"And I really don't want to deal with those people from the Martial Arts Alliance!"

After Qu Yan finished speaking, Yang Shushan nodded.

"Mm, that is exactly what I intended!"

"Those old fogies in the Martial Arts Alliance—I'm only willing to interact with General Yi Nanshan; the others aren't much."

"Then let's go, get there early, to avoid any further trouble!"

After the two men finished speaking, they walked straight outside.

At this moment, General Director stood in front of the window, watching Elder Qu and Yang Shushan walking out of the building.

A feeling of sorrow inexplicably welled up in his heart.

For a long time, until both old men had disappeared from sight.

He let out a long sigh and returned to sit at his desk.

His gaze stared blankly at a certain spot.

He did not withdraw his gaze for a long time.

Old District.

After fighting continuously for more than half a month.

Lin Yi led the Right Division Guard, along with Captain Tang Zhan's Public Security Bureau.

They had already cleared out Blood Handprint members in five consecutive cities.

"Damn it, these scumbags really are endless, you can't kill or drive them all away!"

"Just how many people has Blood Handprint recruited?"

Wei Nan walked out of a feed yard that had just been cleared.

Ever since Lin Yu was killed and the news was reported extensively.

The Blood Handprint members were all like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow, fleeing in all directions.

They were all like headless flies.

However, the brand of the Blood Handprint could never be erased from them.

Even if they all hid among the crowds, hoping to escape disaster this way.

They were still dug out one by one by Lin Yi and his team.

Lin Yi glanced at Wei Nan, shook his head, and said: "No matter how many are left, we must clear them out completely, leave not one, and eliminate future trouble once and for all!"

Screech—

Suddenly, a large bird was seen circling in the sky, flapping its wings.

The next moment, after a clear cry.

A large number of birds, like an air force, dove rapidly in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Lin Yi hurriedly looked in that direction.

Wei Nan even grabbed his long staff and, leading a dozen members of the Right Division Guard, rushed over quickly.

When they arrived close by.

They discovered several Blood Handprint members had already died miserably on the spot.

The numerous birds quickly dispersed.

When Wei Nan reached the Blood Handprint members, only a few skeletons remained.

Not even a drop of blood was left; it had all been sucked dry.

Seeing this, Wei Nan curled his lip and looked up at the sky, which looked like dark clouds, at the flock of birds circling overhead.

He smiled and shook his head, saying: "Awesome! I just want to ask, now that we have these sea and land forces, who else can come and fight? Who else?"

After shouting this, Wei Shang and Feng Lei walked over from not far away.

"What are you yelling about? What 'who else'?"

Hearing this, Wei Nan smiled.

"Nothing, just expressing a feeling!"

"I think with our current combination, we are simply invincible!"

"Ever since Xiao Qi became the Bird King, wow... we also have an air force now!"

"See these skeletons? If Xiao Qi and its flock hadn't spotted the escaping Blood Handprint members from the sky, they really would have gotten away!"

"You two didn't see it just now, a huge flock of birds flew down, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into this!"

Wei Shang and Feng Lei also glanced at the corpses.

Their brows couldn't help but furrow.

The flocks of birds now following Xiao Qi were becoming increasingly rampant.

They were high up, and although they acted as scouts.

However, their fierce nature meant that neither humans nor Yao Beasts could escape their pursuit.

Once locked onto by them, the result was basically ending up as a skeleton.

Feng Lei frowned and said: "What do you think will happen if Xiao Qi loses control in the future?"

"I have the same worry. Xiao Qi's Realm is not low now, and it has such a huge flock of birds. If one day it develops a rebellious heart, I'm afraid it will be hard to suppress them!"

Hearing this, the smile on Wei Nan's face faded.

He looked up at the night sky, at the flock of birds resembling dark clouds.

After a long while, he whispered: "Everything we can think of, Lin Yi has already thought of!"
