225: New Demon Cave

Pushing open the office door, Sun Li was already waiting behind the desk.

Seeing Chen Nian enter, he immediately stood up with a respectful smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, you've arrived."

"Mm." Chen Nian sat down casually on the sofa and got straight to the point: "How is the investigation into the Gloomy Abyss going? Is there any news from the Capital General Bureau?"

Hearing this, Sun Li's expression turned serious as he quickly reported:

"In response to Mr. Chen, the Capital General Bureau attaches great importance to the intelligence you provided and has already activated the highest-specification 'Abyss Investigation' plan."

"The Capital General Bureau has deployed its top technical forces and intelligence networks to fully analyze all samples and data brought back from Shanyin City, attempting to crack the spatial coordinates and energy signatures of the Abyss."

"However..." Sun Li paused, a trace of helplessness appearing on his face, "According to the General Bureau's latest briefing, the planar barrier of the Gloomy Abyss is extremely unique and sturdy, and its spatial structure is also very complex and eerie."

"More importantly, the other side seems to have employed some extremely sophisticated spatial shielding method, actively cutting off all connections with the Incinerator's territory."

"It's as if that area has been completely 'isolated' from the Abyss's network."

"Accurately locating its core coordinates, or even finding a stable method for intrusion or monitoring, is extremely difficult and may still take some time."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded, showing no much surprise on his face.

He hadn't expected the Spiritual Energy Bureau to find a way to strike directly at the heart of the enemy in such a short time anyway.

After all, that was a different dimension capable of nurturing multiple Evil God-rank existences; its level was extremely high.

It would be strange if it were cracked so easily.

Not to mention, after wiping out the Incinerator's territory in Shanyin City, it wasn't as if he hadn't tried himself.

At that time, he had also attempted to use his own powerful Divine Thought to forcibly penetrate and perceive the situation on the other side.

He tried to track back and lock onto the spatial coordinates of the Gloomy Abyss.

However, his Divine Thought could only perceive a chaotic void and complete emptiness.

It was as if nothing existed on the other side at all.

Clearly, those hiding Abyssal Overlords had already been scared out of their wits.

They had used some means to completely isolate the Incinerator's territory from the Gloomy Abyss, cutting off their own tail to survive.

Although Chen Nian was powerful, without being proficient in the Law of space,

trying to accurately find the coordinates of a deliberately hidden dimension within the endless sea of void

was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack; it was a pure waste of time.

Because of this, he had simply handed over this tedious search work to the Spiritual Energy Bureau.

After all, professional matters should be left to professional people.

He only needed to be responsible for the cleanup once the Spiritual Energy Bureau found the target.

He had no interest in wasting his precious time on such boring investigations.

Moreover, he wasn't in a hurry.

He had plenty of time and could wait slowly.

Thus, he only said faintly: "No matter, just let them continue their research."

After speaking, he turned and asked: "So, are there any targets worth my action right now?"

He was currently in top condition and urgently needed some "live targets" to stretch his limbs.

He also wanted to test his Level 80 Spiritual River Realm strength and acquire more points.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Sun Li's face, as if he had been waiting for Chen Nian to ask this.

"Mr. Chen, do you remember when you asked me to keep an eye out for Demon Dens?"

Chen Nian's brow twitched slightly as he immediately remembered.

There indeed was such a thing.

It was back when he was handling the incident in Huai Gu District.

At that time, a suddenly appearing Demon Den had spewed out a large number of Demonic Evils.

It had allowed him to harvest a large amount of points, and the experience was quite good.

He had thought at the time that it would be great if he could frequently farm such Demon Dens, as the points came quickly and satisfyingly.

Unfortunately, the discovery of a Demon Den usually required extremely harsh conditions.

They were often the result of spatial weak points being eroded by negative energy for a long time, or the deliberate guidance of some powerful existence; they weren't common occurrences.

They were things that could be encountered but not sought, which was truly a pity.

Since then, he hadn't encountered a similar Demon Den incident.

Now that Sun Li had specifically mentioned it, could it be... a flash of interest crossed Chen Nian's eyes:

"Oh? From what you're saying, has a new Demon Den appeared?"

Seeing the interest in Chen Nian's eyes, Sun Li quickly confirmed:

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

"According to the latest intelligence we just received."

"In the 'Luoxia Mountain' region, about 1,200 kilometers away from Donghai City, there is a suspected new Demon Den energy reaction!"

"Luoxia Mountain?" Chen Nian had some impression of this place name.

It was a relatively remote mountain range, but its Spiritual Qi was fairly abundant.

"Exactly!" Sun Li quickly operated the computer, pulling up the relevant data.

"The local branch and monitoring station captured abnormally strong spatial fluctuations and negative energy accumulation deep in Luoxia Mountain about six hours ago."

"Its energy characteristics are very similar to those before a Demon Den eruption!"

"The fluctuation intensity is continuing to climb and has already reached the Level 4 alert standard, with a trend toward Level 5!"

"Although there are no reports of large-scale Demonic Evils emerging yet, based on energy readings and analysis, what's connected behind that vortex is very likely a massive Demon Den!"

"According to preliminary judgments, its energy level and evil energy purity might be even higher than the one in Huai Gu District!"

"The local branch's power is limited and they have already asked for reinforcements from higher-ups. The General Bureau's order is that once confirmed, it must be completely destroyed before it fully stabilizes and Demonic Evils emerge on a large scale!"

Sun Li looked at Chen Nian, his tone carrying a hint of expectation:

"Mr. Chen, do you see if this meets your requirements?"

Hearing this, the corners of Chen Nian's mouth slowly curled into an arc, his eyes flickering with the excited light of a hunter.

A new Demon Den?

A Demon Den with even higher quality than the one in Huai Gu District?

This meant the points inside would definitely not be few!

He was just complaining about a shortage of goods, and now a big one had come!

This really was like someone bringing a pillow just as one was getting sleepy!

"Very good." Chen Nian stood up, his tone carrying an unquestionable decisiveness, "This is the one. Send me the specific coordinates and known intelligence."

"Tell the Luoxia Mountain side to seal off the scene and evacuate the surrounding citizens."

"Without my order, no one is allowed to enter the Demon Den!"

"The things inside, I will handle them!"

Hearing this, Sun Li immediately responded, his hands flying across the keyboard:

"Yes! Mr. Chen!"

"I will transmit the detailed information to your terminal immediately and notify the local branch to fully cooperate with your actions!"

Chen Nian nodded, said no more, and turned to walk out of the office.

His heart was filled with expectation.

Luoxia Mountain Demon Den... I hope the things inside can let me kill to my heart's content!
