Redemption of a Born Demon

Chapter 460: Chapter 308: The Whole World Knows; The Stirring of the Spiritual Talismans Changes the Situation (Part 2)

If anything happened to Xu Yao and the others, Donghua and the Special Security Bureau would undoubtedly be held responsible.

Yi Beidou’s importance in the eyes of Donghua’s high command had already reached an unimaginable level.

He possessed the power to influence the global situation.

Xu Yao and her daughter had no doubt about this. After all, ever since Yi Beidou had nominally defected from the country and gone to Japan, agents from the Special Security Bureau had been in contact with them, providing them with the highest level of protection.

As of now, all they knew was that Yi Beidou was taking action in the Mediterranean Region and that their safety might be affected. They didn’t know much else, as the details involved many classified matters.

After some brief pleasantries, the group went into the reception room and sat down.

"Director Zhao, what exactly did my cousin do in the Mediterranean? He’s not in danger, is he?"

Xu Zifeng couldn’t help but ask the moment she sat down.

On the way to the Special Security Bureau Headquarters, Xu Zifeng had naturally seen the online discussions circulating about the Mediterranean Region, and she was, of course, extremely worried.

After all, based on some of the video footage, she simply couldn’t believe such scenes could exist in reality. Even the grandest drone shows of today couldn’t compare to the sheer shock of those bizarre phenomena.

Some people said it was the power of a god, and a part of Xu Zifeng couldn’t help but agree.

"Rest assured, Mr. Yi was the final victor. No evil spirit or monstrous fiend can defeat him."

Zhao Ping said with a solemn expression.

In the past, he had held some reservations and tried to understand Yi Beidou, but as time went on, those reservations had completely vanished, replaced by an indescribable reverence.

It was as if there was nothing in this world Yi Beidou couldn’t do, no matter how outlandish or inconceivable it seemed.

He was a man of miracles.

Hearing Zhao Ping’s words, Xu Yao and the others looked at each other.

On one hand, they were astonished that Yi Beidou could still gain the upper hand and emerge victorious against such a powerful enemy—one rumored to have achieved Longevity and be immortal.

On the other hand, they were also surprised by Director Zhao’s attitude.

They were already aware of what kind of department the Special Security Bureau was in Donghua and the authority it wielded after the great rise of the Martial Arts Dao.

Its highest leader was a figure who ranked among the top of Donghua’s entire leadership structure.

Yet this major figure’s attitude toward Yi Beidou was practically that of a blind fanatic.

’What has my cousin become now? I wonder when I’ll be able to see him again.’

As the events in the Mediterranean Region continued to develop, rumors about Secret Organizations and ancient beings spread across the world, generating an increasingly strong reaction. Doubts about the combat effectiveness of modern militaries also grew louder and more widespread.

Just then, the Starry Sky Country was the first to release a video. Although the footage was quite blurry, it still showed a figure that seemed to be wreathed in a nebula, carving a path through a group of winged "Angels" under a holy light, forcing them to scatter and flee.

"Devi Punk Defeats the Fallen Angels"

The video’s title was also extremely impactful.

It instantly sparked a heated debate.

"It’s that Devi Punk?! He can even drive back those Angel-like beings? Oh my God, is he the son of God?"

"These secret beings aren’t all that! Our Starry Sky Country’s strongest Warrior is still invincible!"

"Long live the New Martial Arts Dao!!"

"..."

The Western public erupted in excitement, as if they had found their savior in the midst of their panic.

Meanwhile, an edited video also emerged from Donghua.

The video showed all sorts of terrifying phenomena filling the sky, like a Battlefield of the Gods. It was even more shocking and bizarre than the descent of the Celestial Kingdom that Devi Punk had faced.

Several figures leaped between buildings, rapidly approaching the battlefield. The scene then cut. A pillar of Blood-Colored Demon Flame soared into the sky, and the entire Sky seemed to catch fire. All the phenomena that had made the scene resemble a Battlefield of the Gods were engulfed by the Blood Fire and burned away.

Then the scene changed again. The Bloodfire Throne shot into the sky, and countless fiery tails, like tentacles, wrapped around the terrifying giant eye in the sky, completely enveloping it.

This was the footage shot by the journalist Liu Xue and her team.

Although not many figures were clearly visible, the signature Blood-Colored Demon Flame was something everyone could recognize. Moreover, the beginning of the video had clearly captured the figures of Yi Beidou and his companions.

"Yi Beidou!! It’s Donghua’s Yi Beidou!! He suppressed those apocalyptic phenomena of the gods!"

"I heard the phenomena in Jun City were the most terrifying of all the cities in the Mediterranean Region! The chaos was the most intense, and the civilian casualties were the heaviest! The fact that Yi Beidou could suppress the other powerful entities means his achievement is indisputable!"

"Mr. Yi is invincible!"

"..."

The people of Donghua were thrilled, and the Japanese People also reacted strongly, bursting into cheers.

It seemed the stronger Yi Beidou was, the more glorious their past conquest by him appeared.

Their fear of the secret beings was diluted. After all, a contemporary expert they were familiar with was still able to suppress those beings. Looked at that way, they didn’t seem so terrifying anymore.

At the same time, under the guidance of relevant authorities, the focus of public discussion was once again shifted to the topic of which side’s experts, the East’s or the West’s, were superior.

But the higher-ups in various countries were not so optimistic. The terrifying power displayed by the Secret Organizations this time had truly shocked them and made them extremely wary. In a rare move, the high commands of the East and West set aside some of their prejudices to hold private negotiations on the matter, reaching a certain degree of cooperation.

After all, to the major world powers, the Secret Organizations and the Ancient Ones were both destabilizing factors.

Two days passed after the great battle.

Yi Beidou and the others were still staying in Jun City.

Jun City’s officials had gradually relaxed from their initial wariness and fear. The Eastern and Western blocs had reached a consensus, and Donghua had given certain assurances. As a result, the officials no longer had to be on edge, afraid that Yi Beidou and his group would cause a major disturbance in the city.

During these two days, the group spent their time recovering and experiencing the miraculous properties of the Earth Immortal Flesh and Blood, while also waiting for signs of the next round of conflict.

During this period, Yi Beidou felt a vast Power of Faith flowing toward him continuously. The Divine Spirit suppressed within his body was nourished by it, living a life fit for an Immortal every day as its essence rapidly repaired itself.

’I wonder what kind of propaganda offensive Donghua has launched this time.’

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Yi Beidou’s expression shifted slightly. The expressions of the others also became a little unusual as their gazes all fell upon the two Spiritual Talismans floating above the ground.

BUZZ!!

The Spiritual Talismans vibrated faintly, as if pulled by some force, trying to transform into streaks of light and escape.

WHOOSH!!

Demon Flame flared up around Yi Beidou, enveloping the two Spiritual Talismans and suppressing their properties.

"They want to escape. They’re struggling fiercely, and the intensity of that struggle seems to be slowly increasing."

"From now on, I’m afraid we can’t just leave them be. Otherwise, they will inevitably escape on their own. And even if we suppress them, if the intensity of their struggle keeps increasing, I suspect that in ten days to half a month, there will come a day when they can no longer be contained."

Yi Beidou said in a low voice after a moment of sensing.

"Where are they trying to escape to?"

Zhou Qingchen asked.

"From what I can sense, they’re probably trying to reach the place where the most Spiritual Talismans have gathered. That location is the focal point of their escape."

Yi Beidou thought for a moment before replying.

At these words, everyone’s expressions turned grim.

This phenomenon seemed to stem from the aggregation instinct inherent to the Spiritual Talismans, a type of Spirit Treasure. Didn’t that mean that if they did nothing, after ten days to half a month, the Spiritual Talismans would become impossible to suppress and would automatically converge on the location with the highest concentration of them?

When that time comes, wouldn’t the faction holding the most Spiritual Talismans likely obtain all of them and acquire the complete Spirit Treasure?
