Holy Spirit Evil Technique, Blood Marrow Devouring

"Elder Xuan, the search-and-sweep teams have received new information.

An Evil Lord Soul Engineer Corps squad searched the shallow mountain woods and captured five remaining Holy Spirit Cult remnants.

But the strongest among them was only a Soul King. They were likely low-ranking leftovers abandoned outside by the main force."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly.

The main force in the Evil Demon Forest had completely holed up and refused to emerge.

All that remained along the border were these discarded low-level stragglers.

Weak in combat and without support, they could only cling to life in remote mountains and wild forests.

"Hold them separately. Interrogate them through the night and question them thoroughly.

Dig out every remaining hideout and abandoned secret outpost throughout the Northern Border from their mouths. Get a clear picture of the remaining Evil Soul Masters' movements."

"Understood."

Lu Yun acknowledged the order and withdrew to arrange the interrogations.

Although these low-level remnants were hardly worth mentioning,

they had roamed the Northern Border forests for a long time and surely knew of quite a few obscure hideouts.

By digging deeper along those scattered clues, they could gradually eliminate every hidden danger along the border.

Chen Xuan rose to his feet and walked over to the map.

The Northern Border region had already been densely marked, yet vast blank areas remained.

Those blank spaces were the places they would have to comb through inch by inch.

"Keep intensifying the search," he told Lu Yun without turning around.

"Pass down the order. Double the number of Illustrious Virtue Hall's aerial detectors.

Also, draw elite troops from both Soul Engineer Corps and the Dou Ling Empire's Soul Master Legion, with Titled Douluo leading them.

Remember, each team must be led by one Titled Douluo Soul Master and one Titled Soul Engineer.
