Chapter 237: Chapter 175 Changes in the Investigation Bureau_3

"Hearing you say that, the situation does seem dire..." Li Yi spoke at the moment.

Zheng Gong gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s even worse than that. With the captain in a coma and heavy losses among the investigators, coupled with damage to the training base... then came the collapse of the defenses in the Ruined District. Fierce Beasts rioted, and Extraordinary Creatures have left the danger zone, moving towards the city. Some suspect that even more terrifying mythical creatures exist deep within the danger zone, driving out all the Extraordinary Creatures and Fierce Beasts."

"Although we cannot confirm the information’s accuracy, the satellite did capture a faint green cloud drifting in the depths of the danger zone, along with detecting intense energy reactions... However, this matter has been reported upwards, and if all goes well, experts from the Golden Academy will assist in the investigation," Zheng Gong continued.

"This is really a case of misfortunes piling up one after another." Not just Zheng Gong, Li Yi felt overwhelmed upon hearing this.

Now he understood why the Investigation Agency and the Cultivator Association were insisting that Cultivators hunt and kill the Fierce Beasts and Extraordinary Creatures, following the riots and defenses collapse.

This was the only way to ensure the city’s safety, hoping to stabilize the situation with the combined strength of all the Cultivators in Tianchang City.

Otherwise, once the Fierce Beasts entered the city, the order would be completely destroyed, something everyone wished to avoid.

"To cope with this special situation, the Investigation Agency had no choice but to issue another order, which is to release prisoners, allowing them to reduce their sentences by accomplishing tasks... Some dangerous individuals have been forcibly released," Zheng Gong said, unsure whether he felt ashamed or helpless.

"Letting prisoners complete tasks to reduce their sentences?" Li Yi was taken aback, then realized, "Does that mean Yang Yilong has been released, too?"

"Exactly. He was never formally convicted due to lack of evidence, and having reached an agreement with the Investigation Agency, he was naturally also released," Zheng Gong explained, "Not just Yang Yilong, that woman named Ning Wu who failed to assassinate you before has also been released. She is currently fulfilling tasks assigned by the Investigation Agency, and each successfully completed task earns her a reduction in her sentence."

"However, the tasks they are given are very dangerous, and many prisoners have died during the tasks. Not many manage to escape their punishment, but regardless, Li Yi, you need to understand this approach. The Investigation Agency is running out of personnel, and the collapse of the defensive lines has also resulted in the deaths of many investigators, but this crucial news has not been spread, fearing it might cause panic..."

Li Yi nodded and said, "I understand. The overall situation must be prioritized, and this is also for the safety of everyone in the city."

"Glad you understand," said Zheng Gong.

Zheng Gong was quite frustrated as he continued, "Actually, I am very reluctant to accept this. After all, the death of Wang Jian was related to that Yang Yilong, and that Ning Wu, who has at least twenty innocent lives on her hands, and even conspired with fugitives to commit murder... Such scum should have been executed on the spot. They took advantage of the slow process and ended up being released."

"I’m not worried about Ning Wu, just another inspiration realm criminal. If she dares to come after me, she’s heading for a dead end. But that Yang Yilong, he’s a serious threat. By the way, where did Yang Yilong go?" Li Yi asked.

"He went to the danger zone to hunt Extraordinary Creatures. He has a quota to kill ten Extraordinary Creatures, and only by completing the task can he clear his suspicion. Until he completes his tasks, he will have a tough time," Zheng Gong explained.

Ten Extraordinary Creatures?

The task assigned to Yang Yilong is indeed a heavy one.

But Li Yi also understood that the Investigation Agency couldn’t detain Yang Yilong for long. Sooner or later, he would have to confront him, but he hadn’t expected him to be released so quickly. He had hoped to detain him for a few months. By then, as long as he successfully broke through in his Spiritual Sense, Yang Yilong wouldn’t pose much of a problem.
