Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 361 Since things have come to this, let's start with a video call.
The beeping of the medical machine began.

Shen Yan seemed to wake from a dream, and took a deep breath.

Upon hearing the noise, the team members immediately opened the door and came in, followed by a large group of doctors and nurses who quickly examined and questioned the patients.

Shen Yan was still somewhat dazed, and he answered whatever people asked him.

After the doctors and nurses smiled and left, the team members gathered around the bed.

"How did I end up in the hospital...?"

He suddenly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. "Oh no! The place where Minister Han was supposed to meet Mr. Chu has been bombed!"

"It's not a bomb."

One of the female team members, who had been looking worried, couldn't hold back her tears and burst into laughter, saying, "Captain, you're acting like an egg right now, a complete idiot!"

Another team member said, "There is a group of evil spirits and superhumans plotting to assassinate Mr. Chu."

"Fortunately, Mr. Chu and his companions killed those people, and the evil spirit's corpse was left on the spot, which is undeniable."

Shen Yan asked, "How is Minister Han?"

Upon hearing this, the team members' expressions turned strange.

"Minister Han has been identified as one of the main perpetrators in a major criminal case."

The female team member explained, "There's a whole list of other charges, but I won't go into them."

"In short, everything that has happened recently seems to be related to him. It has also been discovered that he had a history of exchanging favors with Takagi and others involved in the previous case."

"These are probably the crimes that are truly related to him, but currently... there are more and more unsolved cases that are about to be linked to him."

Shen Yan was dumbfounded.

The One Word Spiritual Society and other religious groups did indeed collude with Minister Han.

However, Takagi's contact list is too long to list them all as suspects.

The truly compelling evidence that could identify Minister Han's crimes was kept extremely well hidden by Takagi himself, and he even used a secret code.

The countermeasures office has received too much related information recently and has not yet deciphered this document.

If the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty wins, or even if he doesn't have to win, as long as Minister Han can back down and live a quiet life for a while, that's enough.

That piece of evidence may never have the chance to be put to good use.

However, with only a hundred days to decide the outcome, time is limited, and the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty has already set his sights on Chu Tianshu.

What Minister Han thinks has no decisive effect on the Grand Preceptor of the Yuan Dynasty.

He had no choice but to obey and helped the Grand Preceptor with "a small matter," after which not only did the man die, but he was also accused of more and more crimes.

After all, there are many unsolved cases, and it is not convincing to simply introduce a scapegoat.

Even if someone wanted to use this as a political achievement, their superiors would only think that they were just trying to fool people and wouldn't take it seriously.

However, given Minister Han's position, it is clear that he is involved in certain major cases.

Making him take the blame would be very appropriate.

"Anyway, Captain, don't worry. Although Minister Han died, everyone's mood has been quite stable recently."

The female team member coughed softly, "In fact, it might be better described as happiness."

"Captain, you have also made significant contributions, and we may be promoted."

Shen Yan had even more questions in his mind.

"what?"

Shen Yan asked in surprise, "What merit did I perform?"

Even the most experienced team member smiled: "You assisted the UN investigators in uncovering a grand conspiracy involving evil spirits and exposing high-ranking human traitors."

"The team leader is now a role model for us, and we should promote him as a good example."

Shen Yan gradually came to his senses.

Of those present, Chu Tianshu was a foreigner, and South Korea couldn't possibly help him by going to the trouble of publicizing his outstanding deeds. The others, besides the monks, were just people brought by Minister Han himself.

It seems that the only way to save face in this incident is to praise Shen Yan.

Shen Yan, who has always been a mature and capable person, wanted to scratch his head, but his hand was held down by his teammates as soon as he raised it.

"Don't move, there's still a needle in your forehead."

The female team member gently reached out her hand, "This needle was inserted by Mr. Chu. He said it can only be removed after you regain consciousness."

“You’ve been unconscious for several days. I almost thought this needle was useless.”

The female team member carefully removed the needle and carefully took out a small box to hide it away.

Shen Yan hadn't felt anything before, but now that the silver needles had stopped suppressing the pain, he felt waves of pain rising in his head.

He recalled that when the "bomb" exploded, he seemed to instinctively try to shield the elderly person next to him.

"The former abbot of Dizang Temple..."

"They're fine. They even sent someone to deliver a fruit basket to you that day."

"Mr. Chu..."

“Mr. Chu is very busy right now. Open Party MPs and the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries have been visiting him to discuss recent events.”

Shen Yan was confused again: "Why would we need to visit the Minister of Ocean and Fisheries?"

What does the recent event have to do with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries? "It's because that minister's hometown is Busan, and he happened to be back on vacation, so he came to visit."

The veteran team member laughed and said, "If you still don't understand, let me put it this way: the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries is a confidant of the former president, and is currently the most powerful person on their side after the former president stepped down."

Shen Yan immediately understood.

Members of the countermeasures office are responsible for special incidents and generally do not discuss politics.

However, in reality, it is difficult for middle-aged people in South Korea to avoid this kind of hobby.

It's common knowledge that the former president was close to Hyundai and attempted to settle scores with Korean traitors. After stepping down last year, the news he's heard isn't very positive.

"Sigh, I always thought that the north was definitely not a good place, since they support our enemies."

Shen Yan sighed, "But Mr. Chu is indeed a good person. These people dare to go directly to see Mr. Chu, which is already much better than the upper echelons of Busan."

The female team member quickly said, "Let's not talk about that. Let's focus on promotions and raises."

Shen Yan didn't say anything, but he was secretly thinking about it.

Even if you get promoted, you still need to maintain your principles in the future.

The people in the hospital, of course, had no idea.

Those who visited Chu Tianshu only met him once before Chu Tianshu took out a computer, opened a video conference, and sent them to the living room.

Once the living room door is closed, the soundproofing is decent.

Chu Tianshu turned on his wristwatch in the courtyard.

"Senior He, I thought you were going to chat with them."

"This kind of thing is definitely not under our jurisdiction. I might take a look at the results when I have time, but with your deterrent action this time, our chances of making more friends have greatly increased."

The sound of a crane came from the watch, sounding much younger than before.

His voice was clear and gentle, almost like that of a young boy. After a couple of happy words, he started to complain.

"Oh, speaking of your strength, I finally went into seclusion and became a forbidden cultivator, and when I came out, I heard that you killed five forbidden cultivators."

"Xiao Chu, do you know how I felt at that time?"

Chu Tianshu laughed heartily, "You must be happy for me."

The crane choked.

"Yes, of course I'm happy for you."

He gritted his teeth and said, "But next time there's a big surprise like this, could you give me a little hint, a clue?"

Chu Tianshu immediately said, "I didn't know beforehand. I just came to Busan and encountered so many taboos."

He Lai asked suspiciously, "You don't know?"

"I really don't know."

Chu Tianshu explained, "I insisted on coming to Busan for other reasons, I really didn't expect to encounter these things."

"Okay, your materials look pretty futuristic, I thought... hmph."

He Lai grunted twice and said, "It seems that it really is not your fault, it is all Dongtian's fault."

Chu Tianshu wholeheartedly agreed.

"Yes, it's all the fault of the Seven Souls Grotto-Heaven."

"Seniors, have you found a way to satisfy both sides and deal with this cave?"

He said, "Yanxia has come up with a plan, but he's not confident of success with any of them. He's gone to the Northwest to make preparations."

Chu Tianshu asked curiously, "The Northwest?"

"Yes, do you still remember that secret realm in the Northwest?"

He Lai said, "The ruins of the cave are located between two realms. Whether in the real world or the spirit world, it is very troublesome to cast spells on people related to it."

"And that secret realm in the Northwest is located in the space between the two realms."

"From a practical point of view, the spatial distance to Busan is very far, but from a magical point of view, it can be said to be a shortcut for casting spells, making them much closer."

"Moreover, it would be convenient for Lin Chucheng to lend a hand in that secret realm in the Northwest."

Chu Tianshu's heart stirred.

He remembered that the secret cave was built around the stone tablet related to the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West, and had been imbued with the aura of the stone tablet for two thousand years.

By sheer chance, Lin Chucheng inherited all the special spiritual energy within the stone tablet. After entering the forbidden realm, his strength was likely no less than Zhao Qinglang's.

With this person re-entering the secret realm, the chances of success are increased by another layer.

Chu Tianshu asked, "So, what preparations do we need to make on our side?"

He Lai paused for a moment to ponder.

"We need to check first whether the large equipment we installed in the secret realm can connect to your signal."

"In addition, we have recruited many people with reliable backgrounds from the public, who will also participate in this operation later."

"We need to let General Yun Gu get to know them."

He Lai concluded by giving a summary.

"Why don't you start a live stream for General Yun Gu first?"
