National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

But they never could have imagined that this was all just a treacherous plot by the Evil Spirits.

The final result was that all the Evil Spirits, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey,

devoured every last human in the city, leaving not even a bone behind.

The entire city instantly became a Purgatory in the Mortal World, a ghastly sight to behold.”

Chu He’s voice was low and hoarse, each word carrying the weight and sorrow of that dark history. ”At the time, I was one of the Martial Artists sent in as reinforcements.

When we, full of passion and hope,

forced open the gates of that city shrouded in death,

the scene before us left every one of us shocked and enraged.

Bodies littered the ground inside the city. Blood stained every inch of soil, and the stench of death was everywhere.

And that Evil Spirit, the one that had bewitched the people, had already evolved to an extremely powerful level after devouring so many human souls and so much life energy.

Its power was so terrifying it was daunting to even behold.

From that day forward, I came to fully understand one truth:

’Those who are not our kin can never be trusted.’

These Evil Spirits, no matter how they disguise themselves, can never be believed.

Otherwise, they will only bring annihilation upon the Human Race.”

”I understand.”

Xia Chengli nodded thoughtfully.

”Although I’ve had my conflicts with the Human Race Supremacy Association,

I don’t actually hold much animosity toward them.

That’s because even though they are also researching the fusion of human and Evil Spirit Power,

their core philosophy has always been ’Human Race first, Human Race supreme.’ That has never changed.

But then you have certain so-called institutions, corporations, and organizations...

On the surface, they still look human and retain human features,

but in reality, their hearts have long been corrupted and corroded by a sinister power, turning them into monsters that are neither human nor ghost.”

Chu He tilted his head up slightly, his eyes filled with contempt and disdain. ”Take the seemingly monolithic Lighthouse Empire, for example.

It’s long past being the behemoth Empire that once dominated the world.

Now, it’s nothing more than a puppet for the various sinister Evil Spirits lurking in the shadows.

Beneath its glamorous facade lies endless darkness and decay, dragging this world into the abyss step by step.”

Just as Chu He and Xia Chengli were about to turn and leave,

Chu He’s phone suddenly rang without warning.

The clear ringtone echoed in the silent night sky, shattering the momentary peace.

Chu He paused for a moment, then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

His eyes glanced at the screen, and he saw the caller ID was Liu Yuzhu.

He lightly pressed the answer key and slowly brought the phone to his ear.

”Hello?” Chu He’s voice was low and calm.

On the other end of the line,

Liu Yuzhu’s voice was clearly anxious. She spoke in a rapid-fire burst, ”Just three hours ago,

the Defense Team and the Shadow Guard discovered a group of infiltrators from the White-Red Empire during a mission.

It seems these people from the White-Red Empire secretly dug something up and took it from our Great Xia Empire,

but we have no idea what the object is.

It has already left the Great Xia Empire’s borders, and the situation is critical.

The Defense Team and the Shadow Guard were dispatched immediately

and launched a fierce operation to encircle and eliminate the group from the White-Red Empire.

Their strength was far greater than we imagined,

and they had hired Superhumans mixed in with them, all of whom were incredibly skilled and possessed astonishing combat power.

After a bitter fight, we were only able to capture some of them.

But once that group realized they were cornered with no escape,

they immediately committed suicide by taking poison, leaving no useful clues behind.

This has brought our investigation to a standstill. We have absolutely no leads right now.”

As Chu He listened to Liu Yuzhu’s report, his brows furrowed deeply.

A grave look flickered in his eyes. After a moment of thought, he said, ”I haven’t finished handling things on my end, so I can’t get away just yet.

However, you have my permission to deploy the personnel remaining in the country as you see fit.

Don’t hesitate. The top priority is to uncover the truth and retrieve the item.”

”I understand.

But do you know when you might be back, Mr. Chu?”

Liu Yuzhu’s voice held a trace of helplessness and anticipation.

She knew Chu He was busy, but the current situation was extremely urgent.

She could only hope he would return soon to take charge. ”No one understands why the White-Red Empire would suddenly go crazy and make such a bold move.

Because of your presence, the White-Red Empire has always kept its head down and never dared to act rashly, but now...”

”Perhaps the White-Red Empire received intelligence that I had left and saw an opportunity, which is why they dared to be so audacious.”

Chu He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone, ”It’s fine. I’ll handle things here as quickly as possible and head back right away. For now, keep the situation stable and don’t make any rash moves.”

After the call ended, Chu He hung up and fell into a brief, deep thought.

He stood motionless, like a pondering statue.

Just as Liu Yuzhu had said, the White-Red Empire had always acted with caution,

and would not engage in unprovoked provocations so easily.

Since they had come this time at such a great risk,

they must have believed the operation would yield a correspondingly great reward.
