Chapter 1903: Leng Ruobing’s Thoughts
"Pretty much, that’s it."
Xiao Zheng, missing again, couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
This was already the fourth force he had missed. Every time he arrived at the destination, the place was already deserted. Moreover, it was evident that these people left in a great hurry, almost without carrying any luggage.
Xiao Zheng knew that the Demon God Sect had finally started trying to respond.
You wouldn’t even need to think hard to guess that those two escaped followers of the Demon God Sect were secretly passing information, allowing these people to receive the news in advance and then evacuate.
"Actually, the harvest isn’t too little."
"Almost seventy percent of the forces on the roster have been eliminated by us. Only thirty percent managed to escape. This result is just barely satisfactory to me."
Xiao Zheng gave a self-mocking smile and then announced the withdrawal.
As for the remaining two places he hadn’t visited, he didn’t want to run to them anymore because, run or not, the result would be the same; the people there must have already fled, better to return home sooner.
Besides Xiao Zheng, Long Qie and the others encountered similar situations.
After receiving the orders, everyone withdrew back to headquarters.
It was only then that the forces across the southern provinces gradually began to settle down. Previously, due to the sudden actions of Xiao Zheng and others, almost all the southern forces became chaotic.
Fortunately, this massacre had ended.
Back at headquarters, Xiao Zheng called Long Qie and the others together for a meeting.
In the conference room, all four were present.
Sitting in the middle, Xiao Zheng broke the silence first: "Let’s talk about it. In this operation, what have you each gained? Including your views on the Demon God Sect and plans for the future, feel free to discuss."
"Everyone speak freely, don’t worry about saying anything wrong."
Upon hearing this, Titan was the first to speak, saying, "Actually, my gains this time are not significant. Other than gold, silver, treasures, and various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, I hardly obtained any information related to the Demon God Sect."
"Same here, I can hardly say there was any gain," Evil Eyes said.
Although Long Qie didn’t speak, the helplessness on his face clearly expressed his thoughts.
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, this phenomenon is normal. These wealthy and powerful families have hidden their Demon God Sect identities, lurking in the southern provinces for a hundred years, with entrenched powers. As long as they want to conceal it, even we can hardly find anything, so you don’t need to feel too disappointed about it."
"I just find it a pity that we can’t eradicate the Demon God Sect in one fell swoop!" said Titan, clenching his fists, eyes revealing killing intent.
Evil Eyes nodded and said, "It’s indeed a pity. If we could have gathered more intelligence, we might have been able to press the advantage and uproot the Demon God Sect completely!"
Their words all revealed a deep sense of regret.
Xiao Zheng, however, laughed it off and shook his head, saying, "You’re really taking it for granted. The Demon God Sect is a major sect that has been around since a hundred years ago. Its power is vast, even greater than ours in some aspects."
"Don’t be fooled by the number of people we killed this time, in reality, it only scratched the surface of the Demon God Sect, it hasn’t really hurt them. To eliminate the Demon God Sect is not something that can be done overnight."
Upon hearing this, Long Qie nodded and said, "I agree with this statement. Dealing with a force like the Demon God Sect, indeed, can’t be taken lightly. Even a lion uses its full strength against a rabbit; every opponent deserves our respect."
"So what should we do next? Should we stop for a while, or should we continue the investigation against the Demon God Sect?" Titan asked.
"Of course, we should continue the investigation. We’ve already become enemies with the Demon God Sect, and we absolutely cannot stop until we have resolved this enmity," Xiao Zheng said. "Starting today, strengthen the headquarters’ defense. Additionally, the intelligence system needs an upgrade; using the intelligence we have, start a large-scale hunt of the Demon God Sect followers."
"Once their identity is confirmed, if they don’t cooperate, they can be killed on the spot!"
Xiao Zheng had already made up his mind to go head-to-head with the Demon God Sect!
Feeling his determination, Long Qie and the others immediately became serious. After they refined the details of the plan, they each went about their tasks.
After leaving headquarters, Xiao Zheng went directly home.
With Long Qie and the others managing things at headquarters, there was no need for him to stay and handle it personally.
Once home, Xiao Zheng found only Leng Ruobing there, which made him curiously ask, "Where’s Xiao Ran? Why is that girl running out every other day lately?"
Hearing this, Leng Ruobing smiled slightly and said, "Aren’t you the same? I haven’t seen you for two days."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng felt embarrassed and laughed, then explained, "It’s just that I was busy with business matters, you know, the Demon God Sect has almost become a lingering problem for me now."
"What? Is the situation really that serious?" Leng Ruobing asked curiously.
She knew Xiao Zheng was recently intensely hunting down the Demon God Sect’s followers, but the details, she didn’t know much.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "It’s quite serious, mainly because of the Demon God Sect’s ambition, making me somewhat apprehensive. If it were just a single Demon God Sect follower, I wouldn’t be afraid of them, but they are trying to resurrect the Demon God from a hundred years ago."
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, I must stop them!"
Having inherited the power of the God of Death himself, Xiao Zheng understood the power of these deities more than outsiders. If the people of the Demon God Sect succeeded, the world would certainly plunge into endless chaos.
If it were before, no matter how chaotic the world became, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t care.
But now, he has brothers and even a family.
Leng Ruobing is about to give birth to a lovely child for him, and Xiao Zheng absolutely cannot let anyone ruin this happiness!
"Not even the gods!"
Xiao Zheng’s eyes flickered with a hint of killing intent.
Leng Ruobing saw this and didn’t know what to say for a moment. Although she wanted to help Xiao Zheng, due to her own reasons, she couldn’t offer much assistance.
At this time, she could only support Xiao Zheng silently from behind,
at least not become a burden to him.
"No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you."
"Even if everyone in this world hates you, despises you, I will still love you."
Leng Ruobing gently embraced Xiao Zheng.
Feeling her heart, Xiao Zheng experienced peace and happiness...
