Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 354 Killing the Demon
"Something's happened at Nanhe. What are you planning to do?"

Gao Wu barged directly into Qu Hanshan's top-floor office and confronted him face-to-face.

He was going to Nanhe, but he needed to make things clear with Qu Hanshan before he went.

Qu Hanshan, whose appearance was ugly, sat steadily in his office chair. He merely raised his eyelids to glance at Gao Wu before looking away: "I am stationed in Nandu and cannot leave lightly."

This reason is perfectly valid; it is the responsibility of a level seven expert to be stationed in the capital of each state.

Of course, some states are barren, with only one level seven expert in charge.

For example, in Beizhou, Song Xuetao could only stay and guard the Aurora Icefield, and had no time to deal with Anjing.

Nandu is wealthy and has three level-seven experts. Qu Hanshan is the oldest and the strongest, firmly holding the top position in Nandu and is undoubtedly the number one in Nanzhou.

The other two level-seven experts, Li Gongming and Huang Xun, each manage their own area. According to various sources, although the three don't have much of a personal relationship, they still have a tacit understanding and cooperate in various aspects.

Gao Wu has been in Nandu for two days, busy fighting with Qu Hanshan, and has no time to meet the other two level seven experts.

He was also unsure of the true stances of these two individuals, or whether they were secretly colluding with foreign invaders.

Such a closely guarded secret could only be known by the most trusted members. Finding out the details wouldn't be easy.

Gao Wu didn't understand Qu Hanshan's situation, nor did he care about the other two powerful figures.

Now that something has happened in Nanhe, Gao Wu wants to see what Qu Hanshan means by this.

If Qu Hanshan dares to go with him, then it's simple. Just wait for the old man to show his true colors, and then we'll take care of Qu Hanshan as well.

For Gao Wu, this is the most direct, simplest, and most convenient way.

It would take a lot of time to gather enough evidence to deal with Qu Hanshan.

However, as the deputy chief of staff, he had to abide by the rules, especially when facing a powerful figure like Qu Hanshan.

Disposing of Qu Hanshan without evidence will inevitably provoke strong dissatisfaction from all the other level seven experts.

Even someone as tough as Qin Liuhe wouldn't act so brutally.

Establishing order is difficult, but destroying it is very easy. Once everyone begins to doubt the order, it quickly collapses.

Qin Liuhe sent him to Nanzhou for this very reason. After all, he was young, and others could understand if he acted a bit aggressively.

However, being radical doesn't mean acting recklessly!
Gao Wu was filled with murderous intent, but he had to patiently chat with Qu Hanshan. Since the other party was unwilling to come along, he had no choice but to give up.

“We don’t know what’s going on in Nanhe yet. If you don’t go, I will handle many things on the spot.”

Gao Wu said calmly, "I hope you can understand."

Qu Hanshan seemed to agree: "In times of emergency, one must act expediently. Since you are on the front line, you should naturally have full authority to handle the situation."

He then said with concern, "This time, the Demonic Sect is coming with great force, and they specifically chose Old Li Village to attack. You must be careful."

Before Gao Wu could speak, Qu Hanshan sighed softly and said, "After all, you've gotten into trouble, so it's not easy for me to explain to Qin Gong."

"A bunch of demons and monsters, no respectable at all, no different from rats and cockroaches in the gutter."

Gao Wu said calmly, "If I see them, I'll crush them all to death."

Qu Hanshan nodded: "I have faith in Vice Chief Gao's abilities. However, the Demonic Sect is cunning and treacherous, so Vice Chief Gao must not be careless."

"Thank you. I'll go now."

Seeing that Qu Hanshan spoke so shrewdly, Gao Wu lost interest in continuing his banter with the old man, so he said goodbye and turned to leave.

Back in his office, he summoned Qin Xige and Wang Tiemei, ordering them to monitor all communications in Nanzhou and report any developments immediately.

Gao Wu then contacted Qi Tian, ​​briefly informing him of the unexpected situation and requesting that headquarters allocate personnel to provide technical support to Nanzhou.

After handling these official duties, Gao Wu took Song Mingyue directly to Nanhe.

Flying is too slow and very unsafe. If a missile hits a plane while the passengers are on board, they'll be fine, but the crew will die.

In the real world, if the level of source energy is insufficient, the flight speed will be greatly limited.

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue were only slightly faster than the speed of sound. Fortunately, they didn't need to consider issues such as flight paths, and they arrived above Laoli Village in Nanhe City half an hour later.

The two stood more than a thousand meters in the air, looking down at the village below.

From this vantage point, one can see large patches of blood in the center of the village, forming a bizarre pattern.

It was only three in the afternoon, and the village of over ten thousand people was eerily quiet, without even the barking of dogs or the chirping of insects. Song Mingyue whispered, "They're all dead."

Her mental strength is now extremely powerful and solid; with just a scan, she can determine that there are no living people left in Laoli Village.

Gao Wu remained silent. Although the villagers of Laoli Village were all followers of the Demonic Cult, they were mostly ordinary people.

A year ago, Yang Baolian and others were executed. Despite various admonitions and guidance to this group of ordinary believers, their faith could not be changed.

Today, the belief in the demon god has become the root cause of the deaths of everyone in the village.

Most people have no idea what they're choosing when they make a decision...

Gao Wu was also helpless about this, but he quickly adjusted himself and realized that thinking about these things was pointless.

He activated his Yin Spirit, but found no trace of life force. Instead, he saw the entire Old Lychee Village condensed into a massive and complete source force field.

This source force field is extremely secretive, yet orderly and rigorous.

"Didn't you see it?" Gao Wu asked Song Mingyue through mental resonance.

Song Mingyue countered, "What did you see?"

"A source force field set up using flesh and blood as a catalyst. Or perhaps a magic array, or even a divine spell of a demon god..." Gao Wu said.

"I can faintly sense a stable change in the source energy, which is enveloping Laoli Village."

After Gao Wu reminded her, Song Mingyue finally noticed that something was wrong.

"There should be two or three level seven individuals, whose auras are all covered by the source force field."

Gao Wu analyzed, "The source force field should be the manifestation of the demon god's divine art. In a sense, it can be regarded as an eighth-level holy domain."

Judging from the setup, the other side clearly attaches great importance to him and Song Mingyue. Not only are there powerful level seven experts, but they have also set up a demon god's domain.

He had seen some of the power of demons and gods. Although demons and gods were powerful, they still needed to use source power to convert their divine power.

Looking at this source force field again, there are subtle spatial changes that enclose it in all directions. This is similar to the Xuanlong Dao.

So, this is a sealed-off area, designed to prevent them from escaping?

Song Mingyue said, "It's probably to prevent the source energy from overflowing and causing too much damage. After all, it's the city center. To them, ordinary people are just believers, their livestock, and they wouldn't cause any damage without reason."

"Makes sense."

Gao Wu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about the changes in the Law Domain, so don't go in yet. Stay outside and meet me."

Song Mingyue shook her head: "There's no need for that."

"Alright." Gao Wu didn't insist. The two of them together could easily handle four level seven opponents. If they couldn't win, they could at least leave.

Each of the seventh-level experts is a major figure; it's impossible for several seventh-level powerhouses to gather together so easily.

The seventh-level Alliance has its own tasks, and so does the Federation. Even the bishops of the Demonic Cult have their duties.

As for eighth-level saints? I'm afraid they won't dare to come!

Gao Wu and Song Mingyue descended from the sky and landed together in front of the big house in the center of the village.

He glanced at the bloodstains scattered on the ground. The weather was hot, and the blood and flesh were emitting a strong, pungent odor.

Gao Wu frowned slightly. The smell wasn't so bad, but the evil and eerie aura emanating from the bloody scene disgusted him.

"Are you scared?" Leo pushed open the door and walked out, a cruel smile on his lips, his tone full of disdain.

Aurora, who followed behind, also sneered. The other party was too young; he couldn't even handle such a scene.

To say that the legendary peerless talent is truly this great is an exaggeration.

Aurora was about to say something when Gao Wu, impatient with the nonsense, hissed, "Where did this dog come from, daring to bark like that? Die!"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Wu suddenly accelerated forward, and at the same time, he struck Leo with his palm.

The unparalleled power of the "Regretful Dragon" palm strike suddenly erupted, causing Leo, several meters away, to tense up, and his protective energy field almost collapsed on the spot.

Leo was startled. This kid hadn't condensed a true core of source power! But his source power was incredibly strong! So strong that it posed a huge threat to him.

Leo's cruel and contemptuous smile vanished, and his pupils focused crimson light before he suddenly shot towards Gao Wu...
