High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

Chapter 359: A Phone Call with an Elder.

The other team members echoed:

"Yeah, Captain, we've searched such a large area and haven't found even a single beast's carcass. That's really strange!"

"And there wasn't a single sign of a fight here. What kind of immense power could have wiped out these ferocious beasts so silently?"

"If such methods existed, the ferocious beasts in the abyss rifts would have been wiped out long ago, and so many comrades would not have had to sacrifice themselves."

Upon hearing this, the captain frowned slightly and immediately replied:

"That's not the right way to think. Our country has produced ten Martial Saints, yet they haven't been able to pacify all the Abyss Rifts, which means they have more important things to do!"

"Moreover, how easy is it to kill ferocious beasts? To kill all the ferocious beasts silently is a feat that even martial arts experts cannot accomplish."

"A person with such power, or rather a god, is not someone we can discuss."

"We are all soldiers. What we are supposed to do is obey orders and carry them out, not complain here."

The captain's words immediately silenced the team members.

Since they had not seen any trace of the ferocious beast, the scout team sped up their search. In half an hour, they had searched over a hundred kilometers, but still had not found a single beast or its carcass.

They then split up and quickly searched the entire abyss rift. By the time they had finished searching the entire abyss rift, several hours had passed.

Only then did they confirm the news was true, and they immediately reported it to their superiors.

The other five teams that reported the same thing gave the same answer: all the ferocious beasts in the abyss rift had disappeared; not a single one was seen, only traces of their activity remained.

After confirming the news, the superiors were very pleased and immediately reported it.

The news quickly reached the top elders, and soon after, the national television station broadcast a news report that the beast tide had subsided.

This news was like a thunderbolt, and the entire nation was in an uproar!

The riot was quelled in less than a day, a speed that shocked the people.

The people cheered and celebrated in every household.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, had already returned home and reunited with his family.

The family was watching TV when they saw this news, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen smiled happily.

"Seeing this news, I can finally relax!"

Mr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Although he already knew that the beast tide had been quelled, he still couldn't quite believe it without the official announcement.

"Dad, didn't I already say that things have been pacified? It's just that they need time to gather information, which is why they haven't announced it yet!"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes. He hadn't expected his father to not believe him.

Mr. Chen sensed his son's dissatisfaction and quickly apologized with a smile:

"Haha, Xiao Mo, it's not that I don't believe it, I'm just worried about the other people. We can only confirm it when the national news is released. Once the beast tide is over, we can live a peaceful life again."

Just then, Chen Mo's watch vibrated slightly; the phone rang.

Chen Mo saw that it was Elder Number 1 calling and quickly answered:

"Hello, Mr. Guo, what brings you here?"

"Haha, Xiao Mo, did you see the news broadcast on TV? It was several hours late, I'm so sorry!"

Chen Mo was flattered that Elder Number 1 would apologize to him, and quickly responded:

"No, no, Mr. Guo, you're too kind. The timing of this announcement is perfect, and given the gravity of the matter, it's essential to investigate thoroughly before making a formal announcement. This is the responsible approach to the public. There's no need for you to apologize to me."

"Hahaha, well said, Xiao Mo. We're having a celebration party in three days, and you absolutely have to come. You're a huge hero to us. I'll send someone to pick you and your family up then."

"I'll have to thank you properly then. Without you, the beast tide wouldn't have been quelled in such a short time, and our losses would have been immeasurable!"

"Elder Guo, you're exaggerating. As a member of the Great Xia Kingdom, it's my duty to resist the beast tide and hunt down the ferocious beasts. I can't just stand by and watch them harm our compatriots."

"I'll definitely be there. You should know my address now, right? Just come pick us up!"

"Okay, that's all I know!"

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

As the number one elder, Guo Lao was very busy, so it was already very thoughtful of him to be able to squeeze out time to have a private phone call with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo knew that those who could sit in the position of Elder No. 1 had seen countless powerful figures, including even Martial Venerable and Martial God Elder Guo.

The fact that Mr. Guo called him privately already showed him the utmost respect.

Although he had become a Martial Saint, Chen Mo was not arrogant or looked down on others.

Chen Mo knew that Elder Guo was no ordinary person; he was also a powerful martial artist, only his cultivation level had not been revealed.

However, Chen Mo guessed that Elder Guo was definitely a martial arts saint!

If he hadn't been worried about his family's safety and wanted to go home as soon as possible, he might have already met with Mr. Guo.

"Mom and Dad, you heard what happened on the phone, right? We'll all go to the celebration banquet in three days."

"When the time comes, Elder No. 1 will award me a medal, so don't be too surprised."

"Huh?" Mr. and Mrs. Chen stared wide-eyed at Chen Mo.

"Xiao Mo, what did you say? You were just on the phone with Elder Number One?"

"Xiao Mo, what are you talking about? Who is Elder Number One? Would he call you? Stop joking, okay?"

Chen's parents snapped out of their daze and looked at Chen Mo with expressions of disbelief.

"Mom and Dad, I'm a powerful martial artist now, the youngest Martial Saint! Isn't it normal for me to be summoned by Elder Number One?"

"Yes! Xiao Mo is the youngest Martial Saint!" Chen's mother exclaimed, slapping her thigh. She quickly grabbed Chen Mo's hand, "Xiao Mo, is Elder Number One really going to summon you?"

"Yes!" Chen Mo nodded seriously.

Seeing Chen Mo's serious expression, Chen's parents finally believed it.

"But what about the victory celebration you mentioned earlier?"

"It's about slaying ferocious beasts and quelling the beast tide. I've already told you that."

"Oh, I see, so that's what it was about. Good, good, Xiao Mo, you make me so proud."

"Yes, Xiao Mo, you are our pride!"

Mr. and Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Mo with shining eyes and immense pride.

"Me too! Me too! Mom and Dad, I'm your pride too."

Feeling ignored, Chen Wan'er quickly spoke up.

"Yes, yes, Wan'er is also our pride!"
