In an underground base, Thirteenth District's Evolutionary Cult stronghold.

High Priest Ruan Maoshan received the message from Shen Chan, and immediately felt a chill run through him.

The Supreme Court's cleansing team had been in the Thirteenth District for less than a day, and they had already cleaned out eight silent underground congregations and a cover transfer station.

If they stayed a few more days,

wouldn't that mean the entire stronghold would be unearthed by them!?

He continued reading with anxiety, the rest was Shen Chan's suggestion.

The general idea was to hope they would send out experts to find the hidden conservatives, thereby diverting the Supreme Court's attention, even if they might be killed by law enforcement officers beforehand, it would be considered as a way to sacrifice the tail to save the head.

Ruan Maoshan's eyes flickered a few times.

He had to admit, Shen Chan's suggestion was indeed quite tempting.

If they managed to incite conflict between the Supreme Court and the conservatives, they might be able to safely watch from the sidelines and escape this disaster.

But if they played it wrong,

it would be setting themselves on fire.

It's worth noting that all the experts capable of maneuvering between those two forces were concentrated here, meaning all these people knew the true location of the stronghold. If caught by mistake, the stronghold's location would likely be exposed directly.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, Ruan Maoshan's mind was racing, constantly weighing the pros and cons.

At the same time, he also disclosed this message to everyone present.

During the silent period, everyone could only contact the outside world with permission, otherwise, if their connection was traced, they would all be doomed together.

Therefore, they were now basically clueless about what was happening outside.

Upon understanding the current situation in the Thirteenth District, everyone reacted significantly.

"Those three broads in the City Lord's Mansion just want to push everyone into the fire pit! If we could contend with those law enforcement officers, why would we be hiding here?"

"No, that's not the way to say it..."

"From the current situation, it seems to all be the conservative faction stirring up trouble. If we could secretly push a bit and let them confront those law enforcement officers head-on, our chances of safely getting through this would be greater!"

"Hmph! What's the point of arguing over this?" Complained a non-human aberration with lumps of flesh covering his forehead, "The conservative faction that's been silent for so many years dares to show their face, yet you all are afraid of this and that, aren't you ashamed?"

"I, Old Liu, used to be a failure who couldn't even awaken. After joining the Divine Teachings, I've already enjoyed everything I could."

"So what if I die, I've never cared about this life. If High Priest has any plans, I'll be the first to step up!"

However, his words immediately provoked dissatisfaction among others.

Among them, Peng Ai, a burly figure covered in explosive muscles and scales on his lower limbs, stepped out.

He pressed his forehead against the other's, looking cold and brutish, with a fierce tone, "Liu Xuerong, don't make everyone out to be afraid of dying. At this crucial time of high-level expansion into the Otherworld, we represent the highest combat power of the Divine Teachings. Life and death are trivial, delaying the deployment of the Divine Teachings is significant!"

"If you're still so impulsive, I suggest you choose to step into the mature body; that would contribute more to the Divine Teachings!"

"Huh!?"

"Heh heh, no need to step into the mature body, would you believe I can still tear you apart?"

"Enough!" Seeing the situation becoming more combustible, Ruan Maoshan had to intervene to stop it.

These matters really shouldn't involve these guys in discussions.

They're all useless!

Can't come up with a single useful idea!

The more he thought about it, the more tired he felt, and he couldn't help but slowly direct his gaze towards Bishop You Chong, who had been silent on the stone seat for three years.

Lord You Chong.

What should we do now?

If we truly get involved, we'll definitely have to relocate the stronghold.

By then, how could we leave you behind?

Back then, when you entrusted all the affairs to me, you instructed to guard this stronghold and mentioned going into seclusion for a period...

But that seclusion has lasted three years.

Still, the figure on the stone seat remained motionless, as though embedded in the darkness, eternal and unchanging.

Just as Ruan Maoshan was about to retract his disappointed gaze, it was as if his thoughts had been heard, or his spirit perceived.

A hoarse voice echoed throughout the underground base.

"In seven days, wipe out all enemies!"

All non-human aberrations couldn't help but pause upon hearing this, and then they burst into thunderous cheers, almost as if they wanted to overturn the earth overhead.

They then uniformly turned around, their bloodthirsty eyes filled with reverence as they gazed upward.

Half-kneeling.

More than anyone else, Ruan Maoshan was overwhelmed with excitement. He never expected that Lord You Chong, who had been silent for three years, would respond at this moment.

And the response was to annihilate the Supreme Court's cleansing team!

For so many years, for an Evolutionary Cult stronghold to inflict heavy damage on a cleansing team, it could only be traced back to when a previous bishop ascended to Destruction Level.

After all.

Every law enforcement officer in a cleansing team is fully equipped, with the intent to force out the high ranks of the Evolutionary Cult.

Could it be...

Is Lord You Chong, after three years of silence, on the verge of ascending to Destruction Level!?

Upon calming down, Ruan Maoshan found it slightly unbelievable. He vaguely remembered Lord You Chong's realm was at Level Thirty-Five when he chose to establish a stronghold in the Thirteenth District, still far from Level Forty.

Moreover.

In these three years, there hasn't been any absorption of contamination characteristics...

Meanwhile.

In the Thirteenth District, within the city.

Zuo Qing and others initiated the cleansing operation.

The twelve law enforcement officers occupied their positions, standing virtually in the air, exuding an overwhelming aura. Their spiritual power spread out like a net, carefully scanning for any Apostle-level presence below.

However.

Their spacing wasn't very wide.

Thus, the area covered in one go was quite limited.

If not for a terrifying individual in this city worrying even Zuo Qing himself.

They would probably handle it like they did in the Thirty-second District.

Spreading out directly to conduct a broad random search.

Though many areas would be missed, that high-intensity pressure of the Damocles sword hanging overhead, never knowing when detection would occur, tightened the nerves of many Apostle-level non-human aberrations, leaving them restless. Any action would soon be noticed.

It might even have the effect of catching opportunistic criminals.

The current method may have lower search efficiency, but the advantage is safety, effectively preventing being picked off one by one.

Soon.

One of the law enforcement officers detected an Apostle-level fluctuation.

In an instant, three law enforcement officers teleported down to confirm the identity.

At that moment, the Apostle-level non-human aberration hidden in the building below also sensed their detection, and immediately black aura wildly overflowed from its orifices.

Indeed.

It was the 'mature body' left outside by the Evolutionary Cult!

These 'mature bodies' always had the potential to lose control. If they weren't subdued immediately, it could cause a commotion, alert the law enforcement officers, and expose the stronghold. Thus, they were never brought into the stronghold base.

Furthermore.

Since the mature bodies lose all rationality once they go berserk, there is no risk of them revealing the stronghold's location.

Roar!

With a roar, a building was rent apart below, debris flying as a several-meter-tall black monster revealed its menacing form!

Countless bumps rose on its surface, ominous breath exhaled from its mouth and nose, its expression an angry stare at the descending three law enforcement officers.

Among them, a law enforcement officer sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Trash is trash, no matter how loud you scream, it's still trash!"
