Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 288 No need to weigh, no need to decide

The visitors were Mo Xiaoyu and her companions.

Handling special cases and maintaining peace and tranquility in the area is their primary duty.

After years of hard work, they have put in so much effort for these things that it has almost become second nature to them.

As soon as Chu Tianshu set off, they followed, though at a slower pace.

Among them, Mo Xiaoyu was worried that something might go wrong if Yu Ren stayed there, so she put her in a snakeskin bag and asked Lin Chucheng, who had the most physical strength, to take her with him.

Jia Fang immediately called out the name of ten-year-old Lin Chucheng, which shows how deep his impression of Lin Chucheng was in his memory.

Lin Chucheng, carrying a snakeskin bag on one shoulder and scratching his head with the other, looked somewhat bewildered.

The guy kneeling on the ground opposite me has a rather distinctive appearance.

It looks like both a sheep and a camel; that's quite rare.

Lin Chucheng vaguely recalled a few fragments in his mind.

However, in the fragmented memories, that person was exceptionally ferocious and brave. The others were just playing along. When it came to fighting, he was the one who charged ahead, his body crackling with lightning, fighting head-on.

The difference between him and the person kneeling on the ground, gritting his teeth and crying is too great.

"You just mentioned a base?"

Mo Xiaoyu, however, grasped the key point of Jia Fang's words, her expression changed slightly, and she pulled out her phone.

She dialed the police station's hotline, which is staffed 24/7 and should be answered within two seconds of ringing.

When her phone rang for the third second without being answered, she immediately pulled out the talisman again.

The cinnabar-yellow talisman, folded into a triangle and stamped with an official seal, was lit from one corner.

But the flame flickered twice after it first appeared, and then went out automatically.

"The base has lost contact!"

Mo Xiaoyu rushed to Jia Fang's side and quickly and skillfully searched his body.

"Did someone attack the base? Do you have any way to contact them? Tell me now!"

Before Jia Fang could answer, Mo Xiaoyu had already pulled a flat, black box from the inside pocket of his jacket.

The small box contained a cell phone.

Despite the fierce battle between the two sides, the phone screen actually lit up normally after Mo Xiaoyu pressed it.

Not only is the phone itself unique, but the box must have protected it well.

Mo Xiaoyu grabbed Jia Fang's eyelids, held her phone up to his iris, unlocked one layer of security, but there was still another layer of password.

Chu Tianshu also frowned, sheathed his sword, grabbed Jia Fang's forehead with his palm, curled his fingers inward, and intensified his mental power to affect the other party's mind.

Jia Fang immediately spat out a password and a number.

Mo Xiaoyu dialed very quickly.

"Let alone getting back to base from here, even getting back from the plantation won't be quick... If we can't contact our own people, we need to find out the enemy's movements first..."

Mo Xiaoyu didn't notice that she was speaking very fast, muttering to herself, and had already said what was on her mind, and her words were somewhat incoherent.

Although she was quiet by nature, her experience was far less than that of people of Feng Jianhua's generation.

In all these years, she had never encountered anyone daring to infiltrate the Special Police Division's base.

She treated everyone in the base like family, and thinking about the worst possible scenarios, she was already starting to lose control of herself.

Mo Xiaoyu was so anxious that the ringing seemed to last forever, even though the other end answered very quickly.

The call was answered in just four or five seconds.

"Jia Fang, why are you contacting me now?"

Joe spoke up, "We've taken over the base, but Lin Chucheng doesn't seem to be here..."

Mo Xiaoyu opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be cut off, and she couldn't make a sound.

She suddenly felt a warmth on the back of her hand; Chu Tianshu had snatched the phone from her hand.

The sound quality from this phone is far superior to that of ordinary phones.

Chu Tianshu could hear the heavy breathing of many people over there, as if they were enduring excruciating pain.

You can also hear the sound of something burning, and the sound of something teetering on the edge finally falling.

One of them was making a low, painful growl with his teeth chattering.

Chu Tianshu recognized the voice as Xiong Zhengsan's. This man cultivated the Purple Blood Technique and didn't even cry out in pain after his Blood Rolling Combo.

What kind of torture could make him roar in pain like that?!

Chu Tianshu felt an explosive surge of anger rush to his head, causing his black hair to fly wildly upwards.

"You want Lin to leave the city?"

When Chu Tianshu uttered the first word, his breath clashed within his internal organs, and it still felt stiff.

But in just five words, he steadied his voice at a speed that surprised even himself.

"Then you must guarantee that not a single person will die in the base!"

The voice was indeed very steady, the pronunciation was clear, and the speaking speed was very fast.

But Mo Xiaoyu and Tang Nu, who were standing next to him, felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts after hearing these words.

The heartbeats of the group were instantly pulled into the rhythm of the words spoken just now, their heartbeats as fast as the speed of the words.

Jia Fang, kneeling on the ground, clutched his chest, his face turning purple.

Chu Tianshu noticed the desert control workers still lying on the ground, his eyes were strained and slightly lowered, and his black hair fell down to the sides of his face.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then a quick response. "These conditions are unrealistic. When we came in, eleven people had already been killed."

The voice wasn't cold; it was even somewhat gentle, yet it was as gentle as the most deadly poison.

"From this moment forward, no one shall die or be maimed!"

Chu Tianshu gazed into the distance. "Bring all the hostages. Let's arrange a place."

"You will see me there first. Only after confirming that all the people from the base have been delivered will Lin Chucheng show himself."

The person on the other end of the phone waved their hand, and the torture and interrogation methods immediately stopped.

"These conditions aren't equal."

Joe continued, "We've already failed once in our attempt to ambush Lin Chucheng, and doing it again will come at another cost."

"The people around me now are all people I invited through my personal connections. Their influence is very limited, and the conditions are too unequal, so they would never agree."

He appears to be exposing the weakness of internal discord within his own side while making demands.

"How about this? We guarantee that none of the hostages will die or be maimed. In return, Minister Lin will cripple one of your hands. How does that sound?"

Joe said softly, "If we want to return the hostages, when we meet, I need to see not only the gentleman we are talking to, but also Minister Lin's severed arm."

"Trust me, I can tell who that severed arm belongs to."

He chuckled as he finished speaking.

"Personal relationship?"

Chu Tianshu only asked, "Last time you were trying to kill him, but this time, is it really just to kill him again, or is it for the... elixir of immortality on him?"

The laughter from the other side suddenly stopped.

Before the other party could speak again, Chu Tianshu made his final conclusion decisively.

"I've already shown the most lenient condition by allowing the vessel for the elixir of immortality to be present at the exchange; there's no need to say anything more!"

Joe fell into a long silence on the other end of the phone.

The phone was handed to another person.

"My name is Xu Ziqian."

The man said succinctly, "You decide the location, we'll decide the time. We can't drag this out until you can bring in a large number of reinforcements, otherwise this deal would be completely meaningless."

"We have three hours. How about we meet within three hours?"

Chu Tianshu's eyelids twitched.

"can."

He raised his eyes. "I'll send you the location in an hour."

After saying this, he cut off the communication.

Tang Nu said urgently, "Why don't you ask them who they are and how they dare to be so bold?!"

Mo Xiaoyu had calmed down a bit: "No matter who they are, they are just ruthless enemies."

She glanced at Jia Fang. The three of them had also witnessed the lightning strike from the sky, the blown-up truck, and the large crater in the highway.

After Lin Chucheng lost his memory, given his strength alone, if he were to launch a direct attack on the base, only Chu Tianshu would likely be absolutely confident of defeating him.

Moreover, it seems there is more than one person of the same caliber as this individual.

The base suffered heavy losses, that must be a fact.

"you……"

Mo Xiaoyu paused with difficulty and looked at Chu Tianshu.

"Even if we conduct a hostage exchange, are we really confident that we can protect the hostages in front of those people?"

“If something is already set in stone, then we can’t let the minister be dragged down with it.”

Her decision seemed to have already made her hate herself to the point of bleeding, as bloodstains appeared on her lips.

“This phone might have a tracking function. I’ll take this phone with me to mislead them for now. You take the minister and Tang Nu, and we’ll leave separately.”

Lin Chucheng panicked, threw the jade figure in the snakeskin bag to the ground, and shouted, "I'm not afraid!"

Mo Xiaoyu ignored him: "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. If we can endure this period, with the strength of our Xuan Kingdom, we can definitely avenge this!"

At this moment, Chu Tianshu was not in a hurry, and there seemed to be no anger at all.

“I told you, I will give them the location in an hour.”

He placed his right hand on Mo Xiaoyu's shoulder and gazed at her.

“Miss Mo, I am a strategic advisor. Minister Lin has not regained his memory, so I have the authority to make a decision on the spot.”

"Listen carefully, now you don't need to weigh anything, don't need to decide anything, leave everything to me, you just need to answer a few questions for me."

Mo Xiaoyu's chest heaved a few times, the metallic taste in her mouth slightly diminished, and she said, "Okay."

Tangnu seemed to be affected by the atmosphere and tried to calm down.

Chu Tianshu's incredibly powerful Heaven-Piercing Force almost sealed the specially made phone inside a solid mass as he calmly asked the question.

After asking Mo Xiaoyu, he also wanted to ask Jia Fang.

He remained calm throughout, his temples fluttering in the wind blowing from the verdant hills and the broken road.

Only Lin Chucheng could see it.

From the moment Chu Tianshu hung up the phone, his brown irises had gradually turned into a grayish-black color.

It has the same color tone as his sword aura.
