Chapter 372: Chapter 370: Conclusion

Above the high-speed transport, He Zong’s face was grim.

He was a High Order Demon Hunter stationed in Dongshan Province, and he was one of the top executives of the Hunters Association in Dongshan Province.

After receiving the message from headquarters, he had immediately gathered personnel, assembling dozens of Demon Hunters of various levels to take the Association’s high-speed transport to Lu Gang City.

However, gathering information and people took time, and since Lu Gang City was somewhat far from the provincial capital of Dongshan Province, they arrived a little late.

As one of the top executives of the Association, he had known from the beginning that beneath the calm facade of the Federation, there surged an incredibly tumultuous undercurrent.

Countless Secret Organizations lay in wait in the shadows, waiting for the day the Association showed a weakness.

Even though the Association spared no effort in striking against them, the Secret Organizations could not be completely eliminated.

But He Zong had not expected that a Secret Organization would be bold enough to openly engage in a firefight right in the city!

Dozens of Disaster Level monsters and nearly ten Catastrophic creatures were brazenly battling it out right in a city under their jurisdiction in Dongshan Province!

This was undoubtedly like a resounding slap in the face to He Zong and all the top executives of Dongshan Province!

"They are becoming more and more audacious. You’d better fight slower so I can catch you all in one net!"

When the plane appeared above the battlefield, He Zong didn’t wait for it to land. He leaped directly from the open hatch, free-falling to the ground, creating a deep crater upon landing, from which he emerged unscathed.

Surveying the chaotic ruins and various residual monster qi, He Zong fell silent.

Clearly, they had arrived too late. The monsters had already dispersed, leaving perhaps unknowable clues that could be used to track them.

"You must be the support dispatched by the Association, unfortunately, you’re too late. Those monsters retreated more than ten minutes ago. I didn’t intervene in the fight; after all, I alone couldn’t affect the outcome," Wen Wen, carrying a knocked-out demon, walked up to He Zong and said.

"You must be the pervert who reported the situation. Don’t worry, it’s not your fault. Unless there was a superpower user of Upper Sequence here, nobody could have stopped this fight. Fortunately, their battleground was confined to this factory, or the workload for damage control would have been immense," He Zong remarked.

Wen Wen shrugged his shoulders, now less resistant to being directly called a pervert, since he had chosen this himself. After Xu Hai finished creating the Xun Qing dolls, he would acquire a new code name.

"Tell me about the demons you know about and the situation of this firefight. Let’s see if there’s a chance we can bring them all back," He Zong said as he moved forward, observing the remaining qi from the battle, while speaking to Wen Wen.

By then, the transport had landed amidst the ruins, and the Demon Hunters from the provincial capital emerged to conduct a comprehensive survey of the site.

"The story starts two days ago. I was returning home to visit my parents’ graves, when a detective came to me saying his son..."

Following that, Wen Wen told He Zong everything he had experienced, excluding the matters related to the Sanctuary.

Except for the matters related to the Sanctuary, there was no need for Wen Wen to hide anything. One lie had to be covered with another, so it was best to tell the truth if he wanted to avoid slips.

Furthermore, the activities Wen Wen engaged in during these two days, aside from those at the Sanctuary, fully aligned with the behavior codes of a Ranger and wouldn’t arouse He Zong’s suspicion.

When he heard about the Human Demon Embryo, He Zong’s expression grew serious; he knew that any method that could bring forth more Catastrophic Demons deserved unlimited attention.

Next, he detailedly inquired about Wang Junyi’s family and the other Human Demon Embryos that Wen Wen had captured, his expression growing even darker.

Even though this batch of Human Demon Embryos had been rescued and the demons capable of creating them had died, the fact that the Abyss’s demons were now aware of this method meant that it was only a matter of time before Human Demon Embryos appeared again.

After talking for about fifteen minutes, Wen Wen summarized to He Zong, "In the end, the demons were completely defeated by Black Cross, with only a few managing to escape before the Black Cross members all vanished."

"What do you mean they vanished? Did they run away or..."

"It means they literally just disappeared, I didn’t understand how they left," Wen Wen explained to He Zong.

He Zong fell silent again, the demon organization capable of breeding Human Demon Embryos was already a significant threat.

But such a major threat was obliterated by a secret organization appearing for the first time, and then this organization disappeared without a trace.

It came mysteriously and vanished just as mysteriously, so much so that He Zong couldn’t even confirm if this so-called ’Black Cross’ had taken any actions before.

Compared to the demons, this Black Cross should not be underestimated.

Seeing He Zong’s grim face, Wen Wen chuckled lightly and said, "This is my first encounter with the Black Cross organization, but perhaps you don’t need to worry so much."

"What do you mean?" He Zong frowned and asked.

Wen Wen thought for a moment and said, "This involves some classified information that I can’t discuss in detail with you, but Black Cross and the Association might not be adversaries."

Once in Furong River City, Wen Wen and a large group witnessed Black Cross destroy the core of the Corrupted District, and the Association also indicated that the Catastrophe-Level Expert ’Black Cross’ might have friendly intentions towards the Association.

Thus, Wen Wen’s words to He Zong didn’t link him to ’Black Cross’, but could somewhat influence He Zong’s investigative tendencies.

After a brief reflection, He Zong seemed to grasp the situation and did not inquire further about this matter.

"By the way, what about the Hunters Association in Lu Gang City? I haven’t seen them," He Zong strangely asked, as usually, the local Demon Hunters should be assisting them at such times.

Wen Wen chuckled, casually saying to He Zong, "They are probably still at the periphery, possibly fearing that there are demons here and not daring to come in, but seeing the transport planes landing, they should arrive soon."

He Zong was stunned, his face revealing an expression of rage. Was this the style of the Demon Hunters in the cities governed by Dongshan Province?

No wonder those monsters dared to fight in broad daylight in Lu Gang City!

Wen Wen had a mischievous smile on his face, waiting to see the joke made by the Lu Gang City Hunters Association.

The Hunters Association here might not have colluded with the demons, but the fact that demons could live so comfortably here was definitely connected to their style.

Moments later, a chubby superpower user, wiping his sweat, ran towards He Zong. He was the captain of the Lu Gang City Hunter team.

Seeing this chubby man, He Zong sighed, his face showing more helplessness than anger.

Noticing his expression, Wen Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed this chubby man had an unusual background...
