Chapter 114 A Powerful Woman

"A helicopter! It's a helicopter!"

Someone shouted first, their voice filled with relief, almost cracking, "Reinforcements! The reinforcements have finally arrived!"

Twenty minutes after the Binhai branch was in dire straits, reinforcements from the capital arrived first.

However, everyone soon discovered this.

Due to the terrain, helicopters could not land at all, and because the area was full of demons, there was not even a gap for reinforcements to land.

Just as the staff of the Binhai Branch were trying to clear a space, all the helicopter doors opened.

On the lead helicopter, a woman, who appeared to be the team leader and whose eyes were covered by a black veil, appeared at the cabin door. There was no rope or parachute.

She stepped directly out of the cabin—stepping into the void.

As if something in the air was supporting her, step by step, invisible ripples spread through the air, preventing the rain from getting close to her.

Without her making any move, a group of demons in the area instantly collapsed to the ground, without a single injury.

Then, with a wave of his hand, with a loud "boom," the six seventh-rank demons were directly suppressed and slammed to the ground, splashing up a large amount of mud.

They roared, but were unable to get up, and even cried out in pain.

"Cover the wounded as they evacuate the battlefield and take over the defensive line!"

The cold, clear voice instantly echoed throughout the entire battlefield.

On other helicopters, figures landed by sliding down ropes, the most conspicuous of which was a small team wearing exoskeletons.

It was Team A, whom we had met during the assessment.

They quickly took over the defensive line, covering the wounded and exhausted members of the Binhai Management Bureau as they withdrew from the battlefield, including Shen Qing.

However, he was momentarily stunned as he stared at the woman in the sky.

Without him even sensing the other party's methods, a large number of demons died, and with a wave of his hand, he easily suppressed several seventh-rank demons.

Is this a sixth-rank cultivator, or even stronger?

He could only guess that the opponent's strength had completely exceeded his imagination, and given the rarity of a sixth-rank expert nationwide, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they would use nuclear weapons.

Just then, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly shouted, "Sister He, demons have broken through the blockade!"

Sister He?

The fact that the bureau chief knew the other party was not surprising to the members of the Binhai branch, including Shen Qing. But this greeting of "Sister He" was quite surprising.

The other person clearly looked at least ten years younger than the deputy director, probably in his early twenties.

However, the thought only flashed through their minds, and no one was in the mood to care about it.

The woman, referred to as Sister He, turned her head and, despite being blindfolded, immediately located Deputy Director Zhang.

"There are other reinforcements following behind, and they have already intercepted and killed those demons. Don't worry, none of them escaped."

""

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

With the help of reinforcements, the demons on the battlefield were quickly wiped out, and the rain washed away blood-red streams, with the demon corpses piled up high.

The area covered by the white fog still has its core section remaining, spanning several hundred meters, resembling a giant cocoon.

"here----"

After withdrawing from the battlefield, Shen Qing, who was resting against a tree, noticed something was wrong.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now that the fog has mostly dissipated, the surrounding environment feels somewhat familiar.

"The core area of ​​the white mist is the passage to the realm of evil thoughts."

Captain Fang Shu walked over at some point, frowned, and explained something. Before he could say anything more, a series of rapid footsteps approached from afar.

"team leader!"

The Li siblings, who had been lagging behind, finally caught up by running, their clothes covered in mud.

However, a large group of people followed behind them, at least a hundred people. Not only were there other reinforcements that Sister He had mentioned, but there were also some familiar faces among them.

The two middle-aged Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain and Baiyun Temple, and even those who are inheritors of folk lineages.

"The situation is going to be bad."

Hearing Fang Shu's mutterings, Shen Qing stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

The Li siblings couldn't figure out the reason either, only saying that the other side had come to provide support, and if it weren't for the reinforcements, they wouldn't have been able to get through the mudslide.

When faced with natural disasters, they are not much better off than ordinary people.

Seeing this, Shen Qing didn't dare to ask any more questions. After the people from those sects noticed him, they all came over to greet him.

"Young friend Shen."

'

,

Without much communication, the white mist in the core area began to dissipate, revealing countless hideous demons within.

"God!"

"So many! They're all demons!"

Most of the religious figures present had never fought against demons, and most had only heard of them. Seeing such a large number of demons with their own eyes, they were naturally shocked.

Fortunately, with the arrival of reinforcements, they are not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers this time.

There is even a powerful expert with strength at least at the sixth rank, so the remaining demons are no problem at all.

Sister He simply raised her hand again, and several seventh-rank demons were suppressed once more. Although the reason was unknown, she did not make any further moves after that.

But with reinforcements, that's enough.

Shen Qing finally relaxed completely, and only then did she have time to check the entries related to her previous promotion.

【Drawing Spiritual Roots (Green - Strange Tales)】—>【The Roots of Ruohua (Blue - Mysterious Tales)】

【Roots of Ruohua: Deeply rooted spiritual roots, like a budding tree. Rooted in the earth, spiritual energy absorption speed +100%, passive effect unchanged. Cultivation efficiency is highest at sunrise and sunset, capable of absorbing the essence of the sun.】

Shen Qing carefully sensed the changes within his body, and his connection with the earth seemed to have deepened.

Not only has his cultivation speed increased to twice that of a normal supernatural being, but this is without even considering spiritual blood.

He also seems to have become more proficient in [shaping earth].

"But—what does 'bearing the sun and moon' mean?"

Shen Qing looked up at the still rainy sky, and her idea of ​​trying vanished instantly.

He turned his attention back to the battlefield.

As the last wisp of white mist vanished, the demons were cleared away, leaving only those eerie tombstones in the desolate cemetery.

A huge, green vortex, resembling a passageway, instantly drew everyone's attention.

"What is this?"

"It looks like a time portal from a movie," someone joked. "Could those demons have come out of here?"

The scene fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the green vortex, each lost in their own thoughts.

After a brief silence, people from the grassroots began to discuss it.

Meanwhile, the expressions of Deputy Director Zhang and other captain-level supernatural beings instantly turned serious. They never expected that the passage to the realm of evil would be exposed under such circumstances.

Just as I was considering how to explain, someone in the crowd suddenly spoke up.

"I think my ancestors mentioned something like that!"

He was a practitioner of supernatural powers from a folk lineage, and his voice seemed to tremble with excitement.

"Mirages often bring treasures or secret realms. The claim that spiritual energy had not yet recovered is unfounded."

But things are different now!

This passage appeared with the mirage; it's very likely the passage to some secret realm, possibly containing various cultivation resources, spiritual herbs, and even supreme treasures!

"Secret realm? Treasure?"

"Really? It can't be full of demons, can it?"

The other person's words immediately sparked discussion among the crowd, as well as curiosity and even greed about the passage.
