What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

I turned to look at Li Qing, who was standing to the side.

Li Qing sighed helplessly and reached out to run her fingers through her already messy hair:

"Alright, I knew you were stubborn."

My feng shui compass is almost ruined, and I'm worried about where to get reimbursed for it.

"Let's go see what kind of thing could upend the very foundations of Jiangcheng."

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

In the military reserve garage on the second basement level, accompanied by muffled footsteps and the soft clanging of equipment, more than forty people from the Folklore Bureau arrived one after another.

This is all the forces that the Jiangcheng branch could contact and that were still able to stand up after three hours of chaos throughout the city.

I stood in the shadow of an armored vehicle, my gaze calmly sweeping over the hastily assembled team.

The crowd was clearly divided into two groups.

The vast majority were members of the action team.

They were dressed in uniform black combat uniforms, carrying automatic rifles equipped with anti-magic bullets, and their body armor was stuffed with various tactical grenades and high-intensity stun grenades.

These men were elite soldiers who had undergone extremely rigorous military training; they were disciplined and stood ramrod straight.

But ultimately, they are just ordinary people.

Even now, on their faces, which were mostly obscured by helmets and goggles, I could still clearly see the undisguised fatigue.

And an instinctive fear of unknown paranormal events.

The other group consisted of a small special operations team.

The special operations team was already small, and most of the people I knew were basically all "dead".

Compared to the well-organized action team, the special operations team's numbers were pitifully small at a glance.

There were only seven or eight people, and almost all of them were injured.

I spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Zhao Tie.

He was wrapping bandages around his arm when he looked up and our eyes met.

He paused for a moment, then forced a somewhat stiff smile and nodded slightly at me.

I nodded gently to him in return, as if to say hello.

The current situation is urgent, and it is not a good time to go up and reminisce.

I looked away, frowned slightly, and began to consider the current situation in my mind.

The cool sensation between my brows flowed gently like a soothing stream into my mind, allowing me to analyze the problem from an absolutely rational perspective.

The other party spent such a great price and laid out such a long plan to create a "Three Killers Upside Down" situation.

They also created a chaotic scene of "a hundred ghosts parading at night" throughout the city.

All of this is for tonight's City God Temple.

That place, if not a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, is at least a true den of dragons and tigers.

I watched the team members loading bullets into the magazines, and I knew exactly what was going on.

If they just rush in headfirst, these people probably won't even qualify as cannon fodder.

Since I broke through to the Sha Dan realm, my perception of Qi and understanding of power have reached a completely new level.

It is no exaggeration to say that in a head-on life-or-death struggle, no matter how powerful their firepower was, these action team members would not be able to get within ten meters of me.

All I need to do is use my Qi manipulation, combined with the black bone needles, to silently reap all their lives before they can pull the trigger.

The enemy we are about to face is definitely stronger than me.

I don't believe that the other side would make such a big show of things if they only had that one trump card—the Dan Realm cultivator in Jinxiu Garden.

There must be other Dan Realm experts of the same level in the core area of ​​the City God Temple.

Even more terrifying beings than those in the Dan realm are lurking quietly in the shadows, waiting for us to walk right into their trap.

In that level of confrontation, having these action team members follow us to forcibly break into the City God Temple...

It serves no purpose other than increasing casualties and making the air smell even bloodier.

Having figured this out, I put my hands back in the pockets of my windbreaker, took a step, and walked towards Lu Yan, who was making final arrangements in the middle of the garage.

Lu Yan was looking down, quickly marking something with a red pen on a map of the old city of Jiangcheng.

Her face was still pale, but her eyes were unusually resolute.

Li Qing stood to the side, holding several Five Emperors Coins in his hand, his brows furrowed.

"Lu Yan, Li Qing."

Lu Yan looked up, her hand pausing as she wrote with the red pen. "Chen Yang, what's wrong? Is there a problem with your wound?"

"The wound is fine."

I smiled, then pointed to the action team members who were gathering not far away, and said in a calm tone:

"I just have some immature ideas about the upcoming tactical arrangements."

Lu Yan glanced in the direction I was pointing and frowned slightly: "You tell me."

"We have a general idea of ​​the situation at the City God Temple right now."

I looked at the location of the City God Temple on the map, my voice soft and gentle.

"The earth's veins have been reversed, and yin energy has flowed in from there; it's now a living underworld."

I paused for a moment and turned my gaze to Lu Yan: "Lu Yan, I know that the General Administration's order is to slow down the progress at all costs."

But "at all costs" does not mean sending our people to their deaths mindlessly.

Lu Yan pursed her lips into a straight line, offering no rebuttal.

I continued, "It's true that the brothers in the action team are professionally trained."

But they are ultimately just ordinary people.

Against experts above the Dan realm, or those evil beings who have already established themselves, the firearms in their hands can only play a very limited role.

"They rushed into the City God Temple with us; they couldn't even protect themselves."

"You mean, let them stay behind?"

Lu Yan's brows furrowed even deeper.

"But we are already severely understaffed. If we leave the action team behind, our frontal assault capabilities will be extremely weak."

"I didn't tell them to stay behind."

I shook my head and turned to look at Li Qing, who was listening intently to the side.

"My suggestion is to divide our forces. Use our best resources where they are most needed."

Li Qing raised an eyebrow: "Old Chen, what are you up to this time? Just say it."

I looked at Li Qing and calmly analyzed, "Right now, the City God Temple is definitely their home ground."

I'm not sure if the other side has set up some kind of trap for us, but I tend to think of things in the worst possible light.

If that's the case, then if we all rush in together, it's like walking headfirst into a meat grinder that someone else has set up.

I drew a circle on the map around the streets surrounding the City God Temple.

"So, my thought is..."

"A frontal assault, led by Lu Yan and the special operations team, plus myself."

"And you, with your team, do not enter the interior of the City God Temple; stay on the perimeter."

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up; he seemed to have guessed my intention.
