195: Celebrate

Fortunately, Master Forgetting Love had been captured, and although One-Eyed had also transformed to fight Xu Guanghu, he didn't possess the formidable combat power and reaction speed of Scar. After a brief struggle, he was subdued by Xu Guanghu. This cult splinter group, lurking in the Martial Arts Market, was quickly defeated by the Martial Masters. With Tong Jingshan's earlier warning, these Evil Cultists quickly had their Meridians sealed, and the poison hidden in their teeth was removed in time, leaving them unable to even commit suicide!

After fighting for a while longer, Scar didn't hear a response from One-Eyed's fireworks, realizing something was wrong. Since his transformation had a time limit, he would revert to his original state after the drug's effect wore off, and he would also enter a weakened period. By then, he would be like a fish on the chopping block. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Retreat!!!"

He was the first to withdraw from the battle, flying towards the east side of the city... Geng Rutai sneered, calmly but swiftly pursuing him... More than half of the other Evil Cultists had already been cut down, and the rest were struggling. Upon hearing Scar's command, they immediately scattered and fled. This spread out the battle, but also greatly reduced their combat power. Except for a few Evil Cultists skilled in escape, most were easily captured by the Xuanwu Guards, who then focused on pursuing the few Evil Cultists with good footwork... Li Yang knew the tide had turned and also fled towards the east side of the city, but Qi Huaiyi was hot on his heels. Before long, they reached the East Gate, where only a few city guards were stationed. However, they had already been ordered to get out of the way, because against Evil Cultists like Scar and Li Yang, they had no chance of intercepting them. If they forced themselves to block, they would only die in vain. As a result, Scar and Geng Rutai, Li Yang and Qi Huaiyi, all four of them ended up in the wilderness... Scar fled in this direction because those helicopters were his escape route, but when he arrived at the high ground where they were originally parked, he was shocked to find that all the planes were gone!

"What's going on?!" Scar was completely dumbfounded. How could a dozen helicopters all disappear? Could the officials have known about their existence beforehand? But how was that possible?!

What made him feel even more despair was that a person stood up on this high ground, their Aura surging, revealing yet another Martial General!

"I'm speechless..." Scar was utterly at a loss for words. When did Martial Generals become so common? Two Martial Generals appearing in this small Fengyang, what could he possibly do?! How could he survive?!

He felt that his operation had seemingly been known to the officials in advance, otherwise, the officials couldn't have carried out such a precise encirclement and suppression. There must have been a leak somewhere, most likely an insider who revealed the intelligence!

"Escape!!!" He didn't dare to tangle with Xu Guanghai. Turning around, he fled madly into the depths of the wilderness, not forgetting to pull out his phone to report the situation to General Feng... Geng Rutai and Xu Guanghai pursued relentlessly, but they were also a bit helpless. After all, Scar was also a Martial General now, and his body was as powerful as a Blood Wolf, running as fast as lightning. As long as he was determined to escape, they, also of the Martial General Realm, couldn't stop him immediately. They could only wait to see when Scar would exhaust himself; that's when their chance to capture him would arrive... "Two Martial Generals surrounded him, yet Scar still escaped?!" Long Yuan couldn't bear to watch. He couldn't help but marvel at Scar's astonishing escape ability and determination. If the Evil Cult had more individuals like him, the Great Ming officials would likely pay an extremely heavy price to eradicate them!

At this moment, the county office had already begun its celebration!

A dozen helicopters flew in, drawing countless city residents to look up in the early morning, wondering what had happened... These helicopters slowly landed on the plaza in front of the county office, lining up in a magnificent display!

A crowd of Evil Cultists, numbering over a hundred, were tied up, some kneeling, some lying on the ground, a dense mass... Geng Yun, Li Gui, Xu Guanghu, Tong Jingshan, Bai Pu, Baishan, He Hao, Qi Da, Lei Hao, and others stood in a row in front of the county office gate, looking triumphant. The county office guards stood on all sides, maintaining order while explaining the cause of the incident to the public. Soon, the news spread rapidly throughout the city, and many people suddenly realized that they had almost been attacked by Evil Cultists, breaking out in a cold sweat!

If the officials hadn't reacted promptly and struck like lightning, Fengyang City would probably be a ruin by now... That was a close call!!!

"Damn Evil Cult!"

"These human traitors actually came to Fengyang to cause trouble, oh my God!!!"

"We must eat their flesh and drink their blood!"

"Thank you, officials! Thank you, Xuanwu Guard! Thank you, Great Ming!"

"Heaven bless! Heaven bless!"

"…"

People rushed to spread the news, and the entire city was in an uproar. Even the excitement for today's Inter-school Competition was overshadowed by this event... Long Yuan also left West Lake Island at this time, performing Shadow Step, arriving at Fengyang No. 1 High School seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

As soon as he entered the selection camp, he saw the elite students, all hyped up, discussing the big city event that had just happened. Their faces all showed excitement, wishing they had participated. If they could talk about it later, it would be the most glorious entry on their resumes!

In Great Ming, those who dared to resist the Evil Cult and slaughter Evil Cultists were heroes. This belief had long been deeply ingrained in people's hearts due to the officials' tireless propaganda. If one had such an experience on their resume, it would undoubtedly attract others' attention and respect, serving as a very weighty bargaining chip for enhancing one's image.

Long Yuan chuckled inwardly, then went to the cafeteria for breakfast. He was halfway through his meal when Yun Feiyan rushed in. Her eyes lit up when she saw him, and she walked over to him, asking, "Long Yuan, have you seen Teacher Yun?"

"Teacher Yun? No, I just arrived myself..." Long Yuan replied.

"This... did he contact you after he left yesterday?" Yun Feiyan asked again.

"No, today is the Inter-school Competition, I guess Teacher Yun will definitely come, right?" Long Yuan said.

"Oh, you're right, see you later then!"

"See you later!"

Watching Yun Feiyan's retreating figure, Long Yuan sighed softly and continued eating.

Soon, the Fengyang No. 1 High School team gathered and began to depart by school bus, but one teacher was missing, namely Yun Yi. Since the morning's events of the Evil Cult activity being suppressed by the officials had attracted everyone's attention, Yun Yi's absence only caused a slight unease and confusion in the hearts of a few people like Lu Shijie and Yun Feiyan. They didn't know why Yun Yi would suddenly be absent. Could it be related to the Evil Cult incident?!

Thinking of this, Yun Feiyan's face turned grim...
