The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Chapter 306: Chapter 286: Rebirth of the Evil Cult, Lin Yu’s Revenge

Yi Xiaoying left the Town Martial Department.

She immediately called Tang Baichuan.

She repeated her entire conversation with Old He to him.

As a result, even Tang Baichuan was shocked.

”Did Old He really say that?”

”What, you think I’m lying to you?” Yi Xiaoying’s tone turned cold.

”No, of course not! How could I think that?”

”It’s just that it’s a little strange. That man, Old He, has always been a stickler for the rules, and the Town Martial Department is the same. Even for an accidental injury during sparring, they’d still send someone to investigate!”

”But for Old He to have this attitude... it’s really out of character!”

Tang Baichuan hurriedly explained.

Yi Xiaoying got into her car and nodded. ”That’s right. I didn’t expect Old He to have this attitude, either!”

”Maybe it’s because of my dad? That he’s giving Lin Yi such special treatment!”

”Whatever. There’s no point overthinking it. It’s good enough that the Town Martial Department is staying out of this.”

”As for the Xu Family, you need to resolve that as soon as possible.”

”And like I said, we can agree to any compensation as long as the terms are acceptable.”

Tang Baichuan nodded. ”I’ve already reached out. Old Qiao just contacted the Xu Family.”

”The Xu Family is being quite reasonable. They think accidental injuries during sparring are inevitable.”

”They don’t plan on pursuing the matter. They just want Xu Tai to make a full recovery.”

Hearing this, Yi Xiaoying smiled.

”Good. That’s all for now. I have other things to do, so I’m hanging up.”

After speaking, Yi Xiaoying didn’t give Tang Baichuan any chance to reply.

She hung up.

Then she stepped on the gas, heading straight for Taigu City.

”By the way, have you heard? There have been demonic beasts causing trouble in Songshan City lately.”

Wei Nan asked.

Lin Yi shook his head. ”I haven’t. I’ve been totally cut off from the world these past few days, so I don’t know anything that’s been going on. Demonic beasts in the New District? That can’t be right.”

Ever since coming to the New District, he’d seen that the biggest difference between it and the Old District was its absolute safety.

You no longer had to worry about demonic beasts running rampant at night.

The streets were bustling with traffic and packed with people.

Bar districts and food streets all added to the prosperity and liveliness of the New District at night.

More young people reveled freely in the night.

It was even common for people to stay out all night.

This was all possible thanks to the security of the New District.

The Town Martial Department was primarily responsible for handling fights and brawls in the New District.

Meanwhile, the Demon Hunting Bureau focused on demonic beast rampages.

Beneath them, the regular police force patrolled day and night to maintain public order.

In such a secure environment, the possibility of a demonic beast showing up to cause chaos was minuscule.

So when Wei Nan said this, Lin Yi didn’t really believe him.

As if to prove his point, Wei Nan pulled out his phone.

He found a video. ”See for yourself. Someone filmed this on the street last night!”

”A video like this is already going viral!”

Lin Yi took the phone and looked closely.

The video showed a bustling, lively street.

The body of a woman fell from the sky, landing in the street.

Luckily, it didn’t hit any passing pedestrians or vehicles. The person filming was particularly daring.

They walked right up close. Besides the victim’s face being mangled beyond recognition from the fall, the most noticeable thing was her right arm and right leg—not a shred of flesh remained, only fractured white bone.

It was as if something had meticulously gnawed them clean.

Not a single scrap of flesh was left...

The video ended there.

Lin Yi looked up at Wei Nan. ”A demonic beast did this?”

”There’s more. Let me find it for you!”

Wei Nan took back the phone and, after some quick taps, handed it back to Lin Yi.

This video clip was from the same place where the body had just been discovered.

However, a crowd of onlookers had gathered, and the body had already been taken away.

The people in the video were still discussing what had just happened.

Then, in the next moment, on the wall of the building,

a dark mass began to creep downward.

It looked like asphalt, writhing as it moved.

Once the asphalt-like substance hit the ground, it unexpectedly transformed into a sentient, withered tree.

It stood over two meters tall, its branches like tentacles.

Its roots had become two legs, and amid the terrified screams of the onlookers,

this sentient Tree Demon took great strides and sprinted across the street.

With a few leaps, it vanished from the camera’s view.

After seeing this video, Lin Yi’s brows furrowed. ”Is that a mutated beast?”

”That’s right!”

Wei Nan took his phone back and nodded. ”That video’s from last night. It’s already gone viral!”

”People have even started digging up more rumors!”

”That mutated beast supposedly escaped from the Restricted Area Battlefield, and several people have already died horribly!”

”They all died the same way as the girl you just saw—right arm and right leg gnawed clean, with only white bone left behind!”

”There are even people online analyzing that the safety of the New District is about to be shattered!”

”Because the Restricted Area Battlefield is about to fall!”

”Once the battlefield is lost, all the demonic and mutated beasts trapped in the Restricted Area will escape and flood into the residential zones!”

”Can you imagine what would happen if countless demonic and mutated beasts came pouring out?”

”Even with the Defender forces, the Demon Hunting Bureau, and the Town Martial Department, there’d be no way to stop them!”

After Wei Nan finished speaking...
