What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Chapter 116 Reunion with Long Yan

I slept without any dreams.

The sky outside the window gradually turned a pale white.

Qin Yanan woke up first, looking at the sleeping Lin Xiao with tenderness in her eyes.

She carefully got up, afraid of disturbing him, and then tiptoed into the washroom.

Not long after, Lin Xiao also woke up.

The first thing that came to mind was what Long Yan had said last night, as well as the doubts he had about the Cangxuan Realm.

He rubbed his temples, got up, and changed into the clean clothes he had specially bought the night before.

After Qin Yanan finished washing up, the two quickly packed their belongings, checked out of the room, and headed towards Shanghai.

Taking the high-speed train, the two quickly returned to the Shanghai Exorcism Society's base.

As soon as the two entered the stronghold, a familiar figure strode out of the stronghold's main hall.

Long Yan was wearing a black exorcism society uniform, his face looked tired, and there were faint dark circles under his eyes.

It's obvious that he's been overworked lately!

The moment I saw Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan, all my fatigue vanished.

A smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked over.

"Lin Xiao! Xiao Nan! You're finally back!" Long Yan strode up to the two of them, reached out, and patted Lin Xiao's shoulder heavily.

"I'm sorry to have worried Brother Long." Lin Xiao smiled, her tone relaxed.

Long Yan's gaze fell on Qin Yanan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by an expression of admiration:

"Xiao Nan, I didn't expect you to have recovered your cultivation and even broken through."

"That's incredible! I've never heard of someone whose cultivation has been destroyed being able to recover or even break through. You've created a miracle!"

Qin Yanan blushed slightly, and said with a hint of humility, "It was all just luck. Thanks to Xiao Xiao, I was able to recover my cultivation. During this time, Captain Long, the Exorcism Society, and Jiangcheng all owe a great debt to you."

"Hey, don't be so polite with me!" Long Yan waved his hand and said in a cheerful tone, "Once you're in the Exorcism Society, you're all family. Besides, protecting the Azure Dragon Kingdom is our responsibility."

However, during this period, the number of strange beasts has increased, and their strength has also grown, making it difficult for us to be in two places at once.

He paused, his tone instantly turning serious, and the smile on his face vanished.

"Come on, let's talk inside. This isn't the place to talk. Let me explain the situation to you in detail."

Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan nodded and followed Long Yan into the main hall.

A large table was placed in the main hall, and on the table was a map of the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

The map is marked with red markers indicating locations where the strange beasts frequently appear, along with numerous densely packed characters.

It was clearly left behind by Long Yan and the core members of the Exorcism Society during this period of time, when they were researching the distribution of alien beasts and coping strategies.

Long Yan gestured for the two to sit down, then walked to the table, picked up the map, and said in a solemn tone:

"Since you left, strange beasts have suddenly started appearing. At first, there were few of these beasts, so they didn't attract much attention. But in just two or three days, their numbers have increased dramatically."

"Right now, we've already discovered over three hundred beasts with strength at or above the Foundation Establishment stage. We don't have enough manpower to handle them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan's expressions instantly turned serious.

They knew the situation was critical, but they never imagined it would get this bad.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask, "How could this be? What about the four major families? Aren't they going to take action?"

Long Yan's wry smile was full of helplessness. He tapped the map lightly with his fingertip and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"The four major families? They have no time to care about the lives of ordinary people right now."

The spiritual energy revival came suddenly and its concentration far exceeded that of the past. The members of the four major families went into seclusion to cultivate like madmen, eager to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to break through their cultivation levels and expand their family's strength.

Forget about hunting down monsters or protecting the people; they even stationed people to guard their own territory, preventing monsters from approaching. They even turned away members of the Exorcism Society who sought help.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yanan's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and she said with a hint of indignation, "These people are far too selfish! The revival of spiritual energy is an opportunity for the entire Azure Star, not something unique to their four major families."

Now that the alien beasts are wreaking havoc and harming the people, they only care about their own cultivation, disregarding the safety of Azure Star. Does such a family deserve to be called a top-tier family?

"There's nothing we can do. The four great families have always prioritized their own interests. Now that spiritual energy has recovered, the most important thing for them is to cultivate and break through to a higher level and consolidate their position." Long Yan sighed, his tone solemn.

"We can't rely on them; we can only rely on our exorcism society."

During this period, we have dispatched all available disciples to hunt down the strange beasts in different areas.

But the number of monsters is simply too great, and it's still increasing. Our casualties are mounting, and if this continues, we simply can't hold out.

Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table as he quickly considered a solution.

After a moment, he looked up at Long Yan and said firmly:

"Brother Long, don't panic. Sister Ya Nan and I are back now, and we should be able to help."

You just mentioned a group of strange beasts gathered in downtown Shanghai. What are the specifics? How many of these beasts are there, and how strong are they?

When the mention of the horde of strange beasts in the city center was brought up, Long Yan's expression became even more solemn.

He quickly walked to the map, pointed to a red marker in the center of Shanghai, and explained in detail: "This is it, the commercial building in the center of Shanghai. A large group of strange beasts, about thirty or so, are gathered there."

Most of the beasts were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there was also a Golden Core stage beast in charge, making them extremely powerful.

Our previous attempt to eliminate them resulted in heavy losses; five disciples were injured and two were killed. We were forced to retreat and never dared to approach again.

"More than thirty exotic beasts, and one of them is at the Golden Core stage?" Qin Yanan frowned slightly and said in a serious tone:

"No wonder you couldn't handle it. This kind of lineup is indeed beyond the capabilities of the exorcism society."

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao is now also at the Golden Core Realm. If the two of us join forces, dealing with that Golden Core Realm beast shouldn't be a problem.

The remaining Foundation Establishment stage beasts will be dealt with by the disciples of the Exorcism Society.

A glint of light flashed in Long Yan's eyes, and a hopeful look appeared on his face: "As long as someone can restrain them, we can quickly wipe out the remaining beasts."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and added in a steady tone, "Brother Long, please arrange for twenty strong and experienced people to come with us."

Also, before we set off, I made it clear to everyone that you should cooperate with us as much as possible and not act on your own. The beasts at the Golden Core stage will be handled by me and Sister Ya Nan.

You are responsible for clearing out the Foundation Establishment stage beasts. Clear division of labor is essential to improve efficiency and minimize losses.

"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!" Long Yan nodded hurriedly, his fatigue completely gone, replaced by fighting spirit.

"You two wait a moment, I'll go gather everyone and prepare supplies. We'll meet at the base entrance in ten minutes and set off!"

After Long Yan finished speaking, he quickly turned around and walked out of the main hall, his steps much lighter than usual.

Watching his hurried figure, Qin Yanan gently grasped Lin Xiao's hand, her tone tinged with concern:

"Xiao Xiao, you must be careful during the battle later. That Golden Core Realm beast may not be as strong as you, but you can't let your guard down."

Lin Xiao grasped her hand in return, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a gentle yet firm tone:

"Don't worry, Sister Ya Nan, I'll be careful. You too, don't be too reckless. We'll fight side by side, and we'll definitely be able to wipe out these monsters."

Qin Yanan nodded, a determined glint in her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I'm a veteran of many battles."

……

About ten minutes later, Long Yan appeared at the entrance of the main hall with twenty members of the Exorcism Society.

These people were all dressed in black exorcism gang uniforms, holding sharp weapons in their hands, and exuding strong spiritual energy.

Although his face showed some fatigue, his eyes were very firm, revealing an air of fearlessness in the face of death.

"Lin Xiao, Xiao Nan, ready!" Long Yan strode in, his voice cheerful. "Everyone's assembled, and supplies are ready. Let's set off now to wipe out the horde of mutated beasts!"

Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan stood up and nodded.

"Let's go!" Long Yan shouted and took the lead towards the entrance of the stronghold.

Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan followed closely behind, with twenty members of the Exorcism Society lined up neatly behind them.
