Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 300 Assault
The Shengshi Building complex, sixteen stories high.

When Zhou Qingyun returned home, he saw his wife wearing a thin nightgown watching TV in the living room. It was probably some melodramatic romance drama, with handsome men and beautiful women crying their eyes out in it...

He found it irritating; it was just pointless whining.

"You're back! Have you eaten?" The young and beautiful Wang Ying greeted him with a big smile and even helped Zhou Qingyun take off his coat and hang it up.

As a full-time housewife, Wang Ying knew that her comfortable life was all thanks to her husband, not to mention that her husband was a martial arts master and a bureau chief, making him a top-tier figure in Yunling in terms of both personal strength and public power.

There are plenty of young, beautiful women out there; the only reason she was able to marry into the Zhou family was because she was obedient, sensible, and understanding.

Wang Ying always served Zhou Qingyun with utmost care, and on the other hand, she genuinely admired Zhou Qingyun's strength.

The martial arts master always possessed superhuman strength and never disappointed her in any way. The couple also had a son and a daughter, and she was very content with their happy and fulfilling life.

Zhou Qingyun was initially impatient, but seeing his wife's gentle and charming appearance, his anger subsided.

What attracted him most about his wife, who was almost twenty years younger than him, was not her youth and beauty, but her gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding of right and wrong.

"I left you some food, I'll go heat it up," Wang Ying said softly.

Zhou Qingyun touched Wang Ying's cheek: "No need. Are the children asleep?"

"Hmm." Wang Ying thought Zhou Qingyun meant that, and her face flushed.

Zhou Qingyun smiled and went into the bedroom, where he saw the two children lying on the big bed, fast asleep.

Two chubby, fair-skinned little bodies that are simply adorable.

He married late, and his two children were only two years old, at the most adorable age.

Seeing the two children's adorable appearance, Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but think of the blood sacrifice mission, and he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Qingyun thought for a moment and said to his wife, "My second brother's child goes to No. 2 Middle School, right?"

"Yes." Wang Ying, who specialized in handling these family interactions, was very clear about it.

"Invite your second brother's family over for a get-together the day after tomorrow," Zhou Qingyun instructed, then told Wang Ying to go to sleep first.

He went to the living room and took a bottle of baijiu from the special wine refrigerator. He liked the smooth and refreshing taste of chilled baijiu, which also had a high enough alcohol content.

For him, it's pretty much the same as beer.

Zhou Qingyun sat on the sofa, poured himself a large glass of chilled baijiu, and gulped down two glasses, but his mind became even more chaotic.

He was just an ordinary person after all. Sacrificing ignorant fools with blood was their own death, and he felt no guilt about it.

The sacrifice of thousands of innocent students put him under immense pressure.

Zhou Qingyun is a martial arts master. Unlike those ignorant believers, he has a very clear understanding of the matter of worshipping demons and gods.

Faith is essentially making a deal with demons and gods, exchanging other people's lives for your own benefits, which is naturally a great bargain.

But having come this far, he had no way out. No matter how many children died, they were still someone else's family!

Having made up his mind, Zhou Qingyun raised the bottle and drank the wine in it, his eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"Have you made up your mind?" A hoarse, deep voice came from the side, startling Zhou Qingyun.

His gaze shifted and he saw Gao Wu sitting next to him. The man was wearing a crisp black military uniform and was casually and relaxed on the sofa, less than two feet away from him.

Zhou Qingyun was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood on end. He hadn't even noticed when Gao Wu had arrived!
Gao Wu grinned at Zhou Qingyun: "Sorry, I came in without knocking. That was a bit rude. Did I scare you?"

Zhou Qingyun was stunned for a moment before asking angrily, "Team Leader Gao, isn't it inappropriate for you to barge into my home like this?"

"I've already apologized."

Gao Wu said slowly, "Besides, there aren't that many rules to follow when capturing followers of the Demon God."

Zhou Qingyun felt a chill run through him, but he still clung to his argument: "Team Leader Gao, you can't just talk nonsense without evidence."

"Hahaha..." Gao Wu suddenly laughed, "You're in this line of work, you should be angry right now, not asking for evidence. You've got the most basic reaction wrong, your mind is in turmoil."

Gao Wu shook his head. Zhou Qingyun looked very experienced and intelligent, but in reality, he wasn't very capable when faced with real problems.

As a highly skilled individual who rose through the ranks of the supervisory system, Zhou Qingyun should possess extensive experience in counter-interrogation.

Perhaps Zhou Qingyun still retained a sliver of conscience; the blood sacrifice had unsettled him. Seeing him again so suddenly had a profound impact on him, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

Zhou Qingyun knew he had said the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth, so he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, Gao Wu's breaking in in the middle of the night clearly indicates that he is very confident in capturing him.

With Gao Wu's power, even if he was innocent, he could be nailed to the ground as a follower of the demon god. Besides, he couldn't withstand an investigation.

The more you say at this point, the more likely you are to make a mistake. It's better to remain silent.

Gao Wu didn't notice Zhou Qingyun's silence. He looked around the room and found the overall style to be bright and cozy. There were two small plush toys on the sofa, which were clearly children's toys.

He casually picked up a rag doll and fiddled with it for a bit; the doll was a little ugly but also a little cute. It was probably one of those toys that had been very popular in recent years but was now on the verge of collapse.

It just goes to show that Beizhou is indeed lagging behind; people have stopped buying things elsewhere, and this is the only place that's becoming popular...

"Your wife is gentle and considerate, you have two children, and your family is happy and fulfilling."

Gao Wu said to himself, "Once you leave, your wife will belong to someone else, and your children will have to change their surnames. All the wealth you've accumulated will go to outsiders."

"I'm willing to surrender, I just want to live." Zhou Qingyun had thought it through. He had no chance of escaping Gao Wu's capture, but by turning himself in, he might have a chance to survive.

"Okay, let's talk when we get back."

Gao Wu stood up as he spoke, and Zhou Qingyun followed suit. After taking a couple of steps, he couldn't help but say, "I'll tell my wife."

Gao Wu nodded slightly in acknowledgment, indicating that it was a minor matter.

Zhou Qingyun often went out late at night to handle official business, and his wife never thought much of it. She was completely unaware that someone had entered their home. Only after getting into the elevator did Zhou Qingyun realize with a start that Song Mingyue was also there, and had been there the whole time.

This discovery sent chills down Zhou Qingyun's spine. Gao Wu was a level six expert; it was normal for him to break in silently. But what was going on with Song Mingyue? These two were acting like ghosts…

After getting into an SUV, Song Mingyue sat in the driver's seat.

Gao Wu said to Zhou Qingyun, "I haven't gotten my driver's license yet, so I can't drive."

Zhou Qingyun's expression was strange. He didn't know if Gao Wu was joking or what he was trying to say, and he didn't know how to respond.

Upon returning to the Supervisory Bureau, Zhou Qingyun was immediately taken to the interrogation room.

The Supervisory Bureau is now completely under Gao Wu's control. This time, he not only brought Wang Tiemei and other entourage, but also transferred a special operations team from Zhongjing, bringing the total number of people to two hundred.

Therefore, the reason for transferring people from Zhongjing is that the situation in Beizhou is complicated, and a large number of people would easily cause problems.

Zhongjing is certainly not safe, but there won't be any followers of the Qilin or White Crow sects there. Even if there are demon god followers among the people they bring, they'd be happy to kill those other demon god followers.

Controlling the Supervisory Bureau with just over two hundred people is quite easy. Right now, the Supervisory Bureau's office building is full of Gao Wu's people.

Inside the interrogation room, Wang Tiemei was in charge of the questioning, while Gao Wu and Song Mingyue sat on either side listening. Another person was specifically responsible for taking statements.

The interrogation room has several cameras that can record video footage.

Dealing with Zhou Qingyun is not difficult, but the proper procedures must be followed, and they should be as compliant and legal as possible.

Killing someone in private is one thing, but as a higher-level department enforcing the law, one must strictly abide by the regulations.

Otherwise, how can we use laws and regulations to restrain others?

Wang Tiemei asked, "First, tell me the names of all the high-ranking demon god followers you know."

“Yang Qingsong, Miao Yuan, Zhou Zhengyi, Yang Zhenye, Wu Chuan, among whom Wu Chuan is a priest, whose status is even above ours. We have all participated in at least three blood sacrifices…” Zhou Qingyun was now completely open and honest, revealing all his accomplices.

Speaking out is pointless; keeping it hidden won't do him any good. The only good thing for this traitor is to completely eliminate this accomplice.

It was only because Zhou Qingyun's psychological defenses were completely broken that he cooperated so obediently.

The key was that Gao Wuxuan's timing and location were perfect. He appeared when Zhou Qingyun was at his weakest, with Zhou Qingyun's wife and children nearby. Zhou Qingyun didn't dare to resist at all.

On the other hand, Gao Wu's spiritual power was even stronger than that of a seventh-level king. Combined with his exquisite martial arts divine intent, he had unknowingly eroded Zhou Qingyun's will.

Hearing so many names, Gao Wu, despite having some expectation, still felt it was outrageous; the entire Yunling was rotten from top to bottom.

Only Song Cheng, Shen Ning, and Bai Man were not involved. All three of them had powerful connections, so these people didn't dare to make a move against them for the time being.

Zhou Qingyun further explained the details of several blood sacrifices, revealing that the number of people killed reached tens of thousands.

Most of these deaths were documented, but were attributed to attacks by alien beasts or races.

With collusion among various parties, it is very easy to falsify records.

Zhou Qingyun then gave a detailed account of the situation in the community where Sima Shou lived. The community was full of high-ranking followers of the Qilin Cult, and the entire community was controlled by the Qilin Cult.

It is also equipped with various weapons, and includes a martial arts master-level priest and dozens of warriors of various ranks, making it a formidable force.

After taking interrogation records of Zhou Qingyun, Wang Tiemei felt that this matter was very thorny, involving various aspects from top to bottom.

Wang Tiemei suggested consulting higher authorities so that someone could take responsibility if something went wrong.

"Need not."

Gao Wu said, "Go and bring Miao Yuan and Wu Chuan over. Check their statements. If there are no problems, raid the Xin'an villa area before dawn and arrest Sima Shou and other members of the Demon Cult."

He had already checked and confirmed Sima Shou's situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have happened to be at Zhou Qingyun's house.

He refrained from taking action at the time, intending to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

To prevent Miao Yuan and Wu Chuan from resorting to desperate measures, Gao Wu and Song Mingyue each led a team to visit them directly.

Wu Chuan tried to resist, but was directly defeated by Gao Wu's Heavenly Dragon Martial Arts Divine Intent.

Miao Yuan was a smart man; realizing he was powerless to resist, he immediately took the initiative to cooperate.

The interrogation went smoothly, and by 3 a.m., they had obtained statements from two people. The statements of the three people matched each other.

Gao Wu only needed a reason to act, and that was enough. He immediately ordered a raid on the villa area to make arrests.

Before setting off, Gao Wu said one sentence to the 150 commandos: "If any members of the Demon God Cult resist arrest, kill them without mercy."

The assault team members responded in unison.

Several convoys of off-road vehicles set off in an orderly fashion. By the time Gao Wu arrived at the Xin'an Villa District, the technical team that had arrived earlier had already completed the deployment of wireless shielding in the Xin'an District.

Gao Wu said to Wang Tiemei, "You take your men and block their escape into the mountains. You have full authority to handle this; there's nothing to worry about."

Once everyone was in position, Gao Wu led Song Mingyue through the main entrance of the villa.

All the monitoring equipment in the monitoring room was under the control of the technical team, and Gao Wu and Song Mingyue were not seen until two vigilant security guards spotted them.

The two security guards glanced at the surveillance camera but didn't see anyone. They knew something was wrong, and both of them reached for their guns.

A flash of golden light pierced through the heads of both guards simultaneously...

Song Mingyue advanced to level six and awakened her second superpower, greatly enhancing her mental strength.

This will trigger the Seven Laws Divine Decree, killing two low-level martial artists as easily as killing ants.

Sima Shou, who was fast asleep in his bedroom, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and abruptly opened his eyes. He got up and went to the window to look outside. It was a deep, dark place where he could see nothing and hear nothing, but for some reason, he felt a strong sense of unease...
