Abyss Sequence

Chapter 38: Forbidden Demon Abyss


Yan Luo passed through the Abyss Entrance and returned to the streets of Lingquan City.

The moment his figure appeared under the surveillance camera, alarms began to blare around him.

The logistics team and police cleaning the streets were startled, almost thinking there was another demon invasion.

It wasn't until they saw Yan Luo that they breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yan Luo was still a wanted fugitive, no one truly believed he was guilty.

According to the following investigations, Yan Luo and She Wuyou originally had no connection. He came to Lingquan City because of an invitation from Chen Shan.

Why did the leader of the Mountain and River Warband, Chen Shan, come to Lingquan City?

No one knew.

They only knew that in court, Chen Shan and Yan Luo were accompanied by a retired Hunter sitting beside them.

Coincidentally, among the merchants who previously besieged the She Family, many were retired Hunters.

Initially, they didn't find it strange, after all, She Wuliang angered the retired Hunters by pocketing many Death Hunters' pensions. But following this clue, it was speculated that these retired Hunters might have been in cahoots, not only dealing with She Wuliang but also against She Wuyou.

Why were the She Family members specifically targeted by these retired Hunters? Was there a hidden truth?

No one knew at the moment.

But in any case, Yan Luo's sudden outburst and killing must have some underlying logic, not just because he had a grudge against She Wuyou.

Although Yan Luo was a killer, he wasn't a dangerous individual.

Furthermore, the quick response to the Abyss invasion was also thanks to Yan Luo.

Soon after the alarm began, it abruptly stopped. Lingquan City temporarily lifted Yan Luo's wanted status, and his personal terminal and account were unblocked.

After returning to Lingquan City, Yan Luo contacted Sasa.

"Where are you now? Are you alright?"

Having experienced such a major calamity in Lingquan City, there might be some chaos since most of the police force was dispatched near the Abyss Entrance, resulting in a shortage of police in Lingquan City at the moment.

Yan Luo was somewhat worried that Sasa might encounter trouble.

[Rest assured, I've already returned to my university dorm, unharmed.]Sasa said lightly.

Yan Luo breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke to Sasa about his plan.

"I want to make the existence of 'the Saint' public to explain the effects of my blood."

On this, Sasa certainly had no objections.

She had no qualms about Blue Star's past being exposed to the world. In fact, she supported Yan Luo's actions, believing such things should be made public.

[I support your idea. If you really intend to do this, you can ask Jin Miaomiao to contact a TV station journalist.]

As she spoke, Sasa glanced at the news live broadcast on a split-screen.

Ruan Shuxuan was interviewing logistics personnel responsible for disaster relief, close to where Yan Luo was now.

"Alright." Yan Luo nodded and then hung up the call.

Far away, on Crimson No.2, Jin Miaomiao was watching the news broadcast when she suddenly received a call from her boss.

Seeing Yan Luo's name, Jin Miaomiao's expression was somewhat complex.

Nominally, she was still Yan Luo's employee, and since he hadn't defaulted on her salary—even while being a fugitive—Sasa ensured that Jin Miaomiao got paid.

Thus, Jin Miaomiao had mixed feelings about her boss.

However, now that he had become the hero who saved Lingquan City, would he be cleared of charges?

With such thoughts, Jin Miaomiao answered Yan Luo's call: "Boss, what's up?"

Yan Luo directly stated his intention: "Help me contact Lingquan City's TV station. I need to use their platform to announce something!"

Hearing this, Jin Miaomiao jumped out of bed, "Are you planning to hold a press conference? Is it something important?"

Yan Luo thought for a moment, "It should be quite important."

"You can't rush this, boss!"

Jin Miaomiao hurriedly rushed to her wardrobe, searching for her work attire, "If you plan to announce something significant, you must take it slow, stir people's curiosity, and only then will enough people pay attention to your conference! Please, consider my request; a major press conference could boost your net worth several times over. If possible, can you wait until I arrive at Lingquan City and then contact them? I'm heading there now!"

Although there weren't any buses heading to Lingquan City, Jin Miaomiao could hire a Hunter or a team to escort her there.

As a resident of Crimson No.2, Jin Miaomiao wasn't biased against Hunters and knew they would take such commissions—as long as she could pay.

In recent months, Jin Miaomiao had made quite a bit of money following Yan Luo's lead. If Yan Luo's value could rise further, her commission would increase.

Therefore, even if it meant spending her own money to hire Hunters, Jin Miaomiao was willing to do it.

"That's doable."

Hearing Yan Luo agree, Jin Miaomiao excitedly clenched her fist.

She quickly changed into her work suit, couldn't find time to apply makeup, grabbed a small backpack, and rushed to the Hunter's Guild hall.

In the taxi, Jin Miaomiao applied light makeup. When the taxi stopped, she immediately rushed out and ran to the guild hall, calling out: "I'm Yan Luo's assistant, Jin Miaomiao. My boss is calling for me; I need to get to Lingquan City. Can anyone take me? Don't worry, I'll pay!"

Upon hearing Jin Miaomiao's words, many Hunters raised their hands.

"Me! Me! I'll take you!"

"What do you mean, take her? If anyone's taking her, it's me. I'm close with Yan Luo!"

"Everyone, quiet! I'll take her!"

Jin Miaomiao hadn't realized the magic power of the name 'Yan Luo' was so influential.

"Quiet, everyone!"

At this moment, a clear male voice silenced all others.

You Yifeng approached, patted Jin Miaomiao's shoulder, and said, "I'll take her; besides, there's something I want to discuss with Yan Luo."

Once You Yifeng spoke, the other Hunters silenced immediately.

They had no choice. He was the head of the Glazed Group, far more powerful than they were.

"Let's go, young lady, we're departing now."

Jin Miaomiao glanced at You Yifeng's personal card, surprised to find this Hunter had a title and was the leader of a warband too.

She'd heard of the Glazed Group, which was quite renowned on Crimson No.2.

Realizing that You Yifeng, the grand head, would not harm her, Jin Miaomiao happily followed him and got into a sedan.

When the sedan reached a checkpoint, Jin Miaomiao belatedly exclaimed: "Wait! Are we taking this car to Lingquan City?"

"Why not?" You Yifeng chuckled.

This was a sedan, suitable for city roads; could it handle wilderness terrains?

Noticing Jin Miaomiao's concern, You Yifeng sighed: "Young lady, do you underestimate me? I'm the leader of the [Lunar Glazed Ball] warband, a Sequence Three Advanced Hunter with seven engravings, the 'Wind Stopper - You Yifeng.' Even without weapons, I can easily handle City-breaking Level demons. Do you think a powerhouse like me couldn't protect you?"

Jin Miaomiao was speechless.

As a local resident of Crimson No.2, she knew how strong You Yifeng was.

But she fretted over bad road conditions outside the city, worrying that the sedan might get stuck.

Once they drove past the city limits, You Yifeng operated the car's terminal, switching the sedan to off-road mode, raising the chassis, and playing rhythmic music.

You Yifeng lit a cigarette, placed his left hand with the cigarette on the fully rolled-down window, supported the wheel with his right hand, and hummed along.

His extraordinary powers allowed him to remain relaxed and joyful even in a perilous wilderness, unlike Jin Miaomiao in the back seat, who felt alarmed.

After a few hours of driving, they reached the checkpoint on the outskirts of Lingquan City.

"Hello, I'm You Yifeng, a Hunter."

You Yifeng displayed his personal card to the soldiers at the checkpoint, then said, "I'm here to scout ahead. My team is currently preparing gear and weapons and might arrive tomorrow."

Indeed, Lingquan City Government had issued a call for Hunters to eliminate the New Abyss.

After a brief check, the soldiers allowed You Yifeng passage.

As You Yifeng drove into the city, he noticed the large screen facing the city gates broadcasting the government spokesperson's press conference.

[Undoubtedly, the appearance of the Abyss Entrance within Lingquan City is solely the sin of the Abyssal Believers. They summoned a New Abyss, which we have named—]

"Forbidden Demon Abyss?"

You Yifeng raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
