War Clouds Were Gathering

In an instant.

Several Dragon Scales appeared on Luo Yan's back; he did not use any internal energy techniques, relying solely on his physical strength.

He grabbed Huang Yu's wrist and twisted it.

Huang Yu's expression immediately changed.

His eyes widened as he looked at his own arm.

Starting from the wrist, the muscles twisted and tore apart inch by inch, spraying out rings of Blood Mist.

A terrifying power erupted from the masked red Ghost Hand.

Keep going up along your arm.

Huang Yu screamed, his body spun 180 degrees, and then he crashed heavily onto the pear wood table.

The impact caused the fruits and snacks on the table to scatter everywhere, and the cups to tip over.

When everyone looked at Huang Yu again, they realized that the captain's arm was essentially useless.

The arm was twisted and deformed, the muscles were disordered, and the entire arm was covered in bruises.

Flesh torn and bones shattered!

"You bastard!" Huang Yu roared.

He thought he had a bright future ahead of him, but now Luo Yan has crippled one of his arms.

Even if he recovers, his skills will be greatly diminished.

In a fit of rage, he disregarded everything else.

With his other hand, he spread his five fingers wide, forming a claw, and released his Primal Energy, which transformed into a beast's claw.

He grabbed Luo Yan by the chest.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly behind the mask, preparing to strike a fatal blow.

Suddenly, a whip formed from solidified water lashed out.

It entangled Huang Yu's hand.

With another flick.

Huang Yu flew out.

It was pasted on the wall.

Before it falls.

The water whip lashed at Huang Yu relentlessly, tearing his clothes to shreds and leaving him covered in blood and gore.

Then the water whip was withdrawn, and Huang Yu slid down the wall like a dead fish.

He collapsed to the ground.

"Escort Captain Huang Yu out."

Yu Qiushui's voice rang out.

Just now, that water whip was made by her.

Luo Yan remembered that this woman's Divine Treasure was ' Moon in Water ', and this water whip was most likely not the true power of the Divine Treasure.

At this moment, two women in white suits walked in, grabbed Huang Yu, and dragged him away.

Although Huang Yu was seriously injured, he managed to survive.

Luo Yan retracted the Dragon Scales on his back and didn't even look at Yu Qiushui, as if he was unaware of her interference.

Luo Yan guessed that Yu Qiushui did this not only to save Huang Yu's life, but also to restrain him.

However, the others were already greatly shocked.

Apart from Chen Ling, whose cultivation level was relatively low, all the other team leaders were at the Advanced level.

It's not hard to see.

If Yu Qiushui hadn't intervened, Huang Yu would have been finished today. This further changed their perception of Luo Yan.

Yu Qiushui smiled slightly and said, "Alright, captains."

"We've already wasted too much time, so let's not waste any more time."

I'll just say it directly.

"As everyone knows, the position of minister of our Xuanming Department has been vacant for quite some time."

"Our previous minister disappeared after the ' Giant Beast Calamity ' and his fate remains unknown."

"According to the organization's regulations, a minister who goes missing without cause for more than three years is automatically removed from his or her post."

"But through my insistence, it was barely dragged on for another year."

"We can't afford to delay any longer."

There's no reason to delay any longer.

"The higher-ups are saying they want to appoint a minister for us."

"Or, let's elect a minister from within ourselves."

"I, Yu, am unworthy of such a position, but I would like to request the support of all the captains to become the head of the Xuanming Branch!"

Upon hearing this...

He Dong and Zheng Huan seemed to have known about this all along, their expressions remaining unchanged.

Chen Ling's body trembled slightly, clearly having only learned this today.

Although Luo Yan did not make any physical gestures, he was still shaken.

Yu Qiushui wants to become a minister.

This incident was neither entirely unexpected nor entirely unexpected.

Within the Xuanming Department, she possesses the highest combat strength and the greatest influence.

The ministerial position had been vacant for four years, so it's not surprising that this woman wanted to become a minister.

She has already shown great restraint by enduring until now to make this request.

At this moment, He Dong, with his yellow teeth, grinned and said, "Captain Yu is unparalleled in our Xuanming Department, both in terms of personal strength and team management."

"He is truly the perfect choice for minister."

"I, He Dong, am the first to support this."

The burly, sunny Zheng Heng also raised his hand and said, "I also support Captain Yu becoming the minister of our Xuanming Department."

"In fact, I've long felt that Captain Yu should step forward and lead our Xuanming Department."

"Now that Captain Yu is finally stepping forward, I naturally wholeheartedly support him."

With these two captains expressing their opinions, Chen Ling couldn't help but glance at Luo Yan.

Luo Yan didn't put him in a difficult position, nodding simply and saying, "I agree."

He had no reason to object.

He was the least senior member of the Xuanming Department.

Although their forces have developed well, they cannot compare with teams like Yu Qiushui's that are deeply rooted in Qingyang.

Most importantly.

He joined the Xuanming Department and became a member of the Black Witches.

The goal is to address Secondary Infection, not to become a minister.

Seeing that Chi Gui had also agreed, Chen Ling immediately expressed his opinion.

As a result, Yu Qiushui received unanimous support.

She smiled.

She nodded and said, "Thank you all for your kindness and support, captains. Please rest assured, I will certainly not treat you unfairly."

"However, even with everyone's support..."

Whether Yu can become a minister still requires some planning.

"Among them, the organization has one requirement for the new minister."

"I must lead everyone to accomplish something significant that makes a substantial contribution to the organization in order to gain the approval of those above."

He Dong grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and said, "Since Captain Yu has called us here, he must already have a plan in mind."

Yu Qiushui nodded gently. "Exactly."

She looked at Luo Yan: "Not long ago, Captain Red Ghost brought news about the 'Yellow Springs' organization in the Southern Territory..."

"We've learned that 'Yellow Springs' is infiltrating the north, intending to expand its influence."

"So, we're likely to have a war with 'Yellow Springs' next."

"I hope to prove my abilities through this."

"Thus gaining approval from above."

"Therefore, I hope that all captains are prepared."

"It could take as little as three months, or as long as half a year."

"We are destined to fight against 'Yellow Springs'!"

The meeting has ended.

Zheng Huan and the others left their seats one after another, as they were returning to their respective territories to prepare for the war against 'Yellow Springs'.

As Luo Yan was about to leave, Yu Qiushui called him back.

Yu Qiushui then invited him to a quiet room for a chat.

Following behind Yu Qiushui, I watched the woman's ponytail swaying behind her.

Luo Yan wondered what she wanted to say to him.

But I had no clue.

We entered a quiet room, which was elegantly decorated.

A small incense burner on the table was emitting wisps of smoke.

After entering the house, Yu Qiushui kicked off her shoes, revealing her bare feet. Her ten glistening, rounded toes touched the cold floor as she walked to a shelf.

"Captain Red Ghost, don't blame me for interfering earlier."

"Huang Yu cannot die yet."

"My becoming a department head will have a certain impact on people in other branches."

"Lin Yuanfang of the Gou Mang Department is also eyeing our Xuanming Department covetously."

"Huang Yu had been bribed by him long ago; he was a pawn planted in our Gou Mang Department."

"I also wanted to use Huang Yu to send some false information to Minister Lin to mislead him, so I had no choice but to intervene."

You're not angry with me, are you?
