Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

"Is this the end?"

Sequence Number 1 moved a chair over, sat next to Lin Haifeng, and asked casually. He probably just wanted to start a conversation.

Lin Haifeng first glanced at Yang Pengguang’s body on the ground, sighed, and shook his head, "It’s over. It’s just a pity for such a powerful expert. If he could have served us..."

Sequence Number 1 sneered. To most people, Yang Pengguang was a powerful expert, but in his eyes, dealing with Yang Pengguang was a trivial matter.

Lin Haifeng relaxed his body slightly and took out an Energy Recovery Potion from his space ring, drinking it down.

Clearly, Lin Haifeng’s previous technique had consumed a lot of his energy.

Taking out tea leaves again, Lin Haifeng’s hands moved swiftly, and before long, a steaming pot of hot tea was brewed.

After pouring tea for everyone present, Lin Haifeng looked at Fang Bai, who appeared quite calm, and began to speak.

"The Demon Worship Sect can’t stir up any more trouble. It’s time for you to come back."

Fang Bai hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Seeing Fang Bai’s reaction, Lin Haifeng turned to Sequence Number 1 beside him and asked.

"Have you found the treasure land where Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3 are trapped?"

"I found it. It’s a large treasure land that’s very tedious to get through, but not particularly dangerous."

Sequence Number 1 nodded, placed his teacup on the table, and said seriously.

"I was just about to tell you this. There are about two months left before the demon plague officially breaks out."

"That’s nothing to fear."

Lin Haifeng was very confident.

"Cathay now has quite a few powerful experts. This includes you, Wen Yu, Kuangliu, Qin Min, and Fang Bai—five powerful experts who are in the top ten of the Human Race Sequence. Additionally, there are more than ten others in the top one hundred. If we can’t withstand the first round of the demon plague with such strength, then there’s no hope for the Human Race!"

With Suzuki Masao, Andre, and Yang Pengguang having died one after another, Fang Bai, originally Sequence Number 11, had climbed to Sequence Number 8. Qin Min had also just received news that his sequence number had risen by one rank again.

Sequence Number 1, sitting to the side, had a very grave expression.

"This is where the trouble lies."

"We don’t know the purpose of the Sequences’ existence, but the Dominator’s old opponent—the Demon Tribe—does."

"The authority of Sequence Number 1 is different from all other Sequences. Coupled with my identity, I have access to a great deal of information."

"When the demon plague descends, the Demon Tribe will launch the Human Race Sequence Hunting Plan. Their targets will be the top ten powerful experts of the Human Race Sequence! Each demon dispatched will be the cream of the crop among the demon spawn, and there will be a considerable number of them!"

"Can you imagine if five powerful experts from the top ten of the Human Race Sequence are all in the Yanjing Assembly Site, fighting against equally or more powerful demon spawn? How much damage would that inflict upon the Yanjing Assembly Site?"

Hearing Sequence Number 1’s words, Lin Haifeng immediately fell silent.

The outcome was easy to imagine. With Kuangliu’s strength, if he were to battle an equally powerful expert, destroying half a city would be no problem at all.

Even if the defense capabilities of the Yanjing Assembly Site were quite good, a battle involving a group of super-powerful experts would be a huge strain on it.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Haifeng said, "The Yanjing Assembly Site can offer you some assistance."

Sequence Number 1 shook his head.

"I don’t need it. Soon, I’ll be heading to Siberia to engage the Demon Hunting Group. Qin Min doesn’t need it either; he has his own place. Let me give you a suggestion."

"Fang Bai can stay in the Yanjing Assembly Site, but Wen Yu and Kuangliu absolutely must not return. The hunters targeting Sequence Number 2 and Sequence Number 3 are in a different league, and the Yanjing Assembly Site couldn’t withstand the kind of battles they would bring."

"So..."

Sequence Number 1 gave Lin Haifeng a sly smile.

"I’ve already used my authority to set a few little traps. I estimate those two won’t be able to return anytime soon."

Hearing Sequence Number 1’s words, Lin Haifeng thought deeply for a long while.

"That’s good too."

With that, he drained the tea from his cup and then looked at Fang Bai.

"Since Kuangliu can’t return for the time being, you will take over the position of War God White Tiger."

"Alright."

Fang Bai agreed immediately.

The military’s War God White Tiger, known externally simply as the War God, served more as a spiritual symbol—a flag and a benchmark. Its symbolic meaning far outweighed its practical role.

So, from another perspective, Kuangliu could disappear, but the War God position must always be filled. Now that Kuangliu was gone, Fang Bai’s strength was sufficient to take his place. As long as the replacement was strong enough, it didn’t really matter who became the War God White Tiger.

"Since this matter is concluded, I’ll take my leave. Zhang Ziping and the other two will remain in the Yanjing Assembly Site for now. I hope, Commander Lin, you won’t assign them any suicidal tasks."

"No problem."

Lin Haifeng nodded in agreement.

"Also, thank you."

Lin Haifeng’s "thank you" was spoken with great sincerity.

Although the Demon Worship Sect incident had always been within Lin Haifeng’s control, he had to admit that without Sequence Number 1, dealing with Peng Jun would have cost him a considerable price.

Watching Sequence Number 1 and Qin Min depart, Lin Haifeng pondered for a long time before speaking to Fang Bai and Zhang Ziping.

"There are no more problems with the Yanjing Assembly Site. You two head to the front lines first and completely resolve the Demon Worship Sect issue. Do your utmost not to let any of those Cannibals escape!"
