"...Thank you all for attending this news conference. Please be assured that Comrade Monkey's absolute loyalty to the people and the country is unwavering. The official sword will only target the darkest corners!"

Although organized hastily, this news conference surpasses previous official statements in scale.

As the temporary leader, Director Long personally vouched for Wu Liang's actions.

It was revealed that the previous labeling of him as a top-tier fugitive was merely a ploy against the [Pioneers].

This situation has sparked heated debate online.

Some believe the government is trivializing public trust and safety, as that top fugitive order caused panic for a while.

Others believe the government's actions are noble, especially considering Comrade Monkey's immense pressure, as he advanced under weight to crush the evil organization's plots and saved Chengyang City, hailing him as a true hero of the new era!

In conclusion, although Wu Liang's remarks on the beach broadcasted made most people choose understanding, some still condemned this so-called supernatural calamity.

Opinions were divided.

Fortunately, positive statements far outnumbered the negative criticisms.

"For a long period ahead, [Pioneers] won't be able to stir trouble. You can seize the opportunity to pressure the [Promised Land] and prepare for the arrival of the second supernatural calamity," Wu Liang said on the phone with Director Long.

"And you? Planning to take a good rest? Be careful not to get hit with rotten eggs on the street, because there are quite a few hostile netizens against you," Director Long teased.

But Wu Liang shook his head and said, "No time for rest. I have many things to do, like spreading the reputation of the supernatural calamity."

Currently, Wu Liang is at the Shenhu City official branch.

They've prepared a ticket for him to return to the Capital City, but he has other plans.

The [Promised Land] is a complete organization. Just inflicting pain on the [Pioneers] is not enough.

He needs to dismantle this organization from the inside and coordinate with the official external efforts to eliminate them.

For this step, the [Ghost Valley] old members within the Utopian Village will be needed...

......

"Saintess Ayimu! How long are we going to stay here? I saw in the news that Mr. Mask is already confronting the [Pioneers]!"

Inside Utopia No. 2 Village, Ayimu has returned to the cave where she has always lived, while outside stands someone temporarily chosen from the [Ghost Valley] old members to lead them for Wu Liang.

Upon hearing this, Ayimu replied calmly, "Mr. Mask has his plans. Soon, we will be able to leave this prairie."

"But it's been several days since the one-week timeline mentioned! In Mr. Mask's confrontation with the [Pioneers], are we just going to watch? How about I send someone back to the Capital City to gather information?" The other person persisted.

Inside the cave, although Ayimu spoke calmly, she was already somewhat nervous.

The Tower Ghost staying here gave her some reassurance, but it vanished at noon, presumably summoned back by Wu Liang.

This was the Fierce Ghost left behind as insurance and to help manage this group of villains!

Already using the Tower Ghost, Ayimu dared not imagine how intense the battle on that side must be!

Luckily, the news broadcast ultimately showed Wu Liang achieving victory.

But her situation became dangerous! As after the battle, the Tower Ghost did not return to the Utopian Village!

This left Ayimu feeling uncertain.

"I said it! Mr. Mask has his own..."

Thud—

Just as the words ended, a thudding sound came from inside Ayimu's cave.

The sudden turn of events made the outside people vigilant, quickly asking, "Saintess? Did something happen inside?"

With that, he prepared to break in.

After all, the two Utopian villagers blocking the cave entrance were just ordinary people, no matter how big and strong they were, they were weak in his presence.

Relying on the supernatural objects, the agent believed he could easily enter the cave.

"If you don't speak up, I'll come in and check things out..."

"Hehe, you really want to help me?"

Before the agent continued, a familiar voice suddenly came from the cave.

This cold laugh carried a strong pressure, instantly making the agent aware of who was speaking inside the cave.

He promptly knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and said, "Mr. Mask, you misunderstood! I just want to ensure Saintess Ayimu's safety!"

Honestly, although most of the [Ghost Valley] old members recognized Wu Liang from the beginning,

This recognition was merely respect for being the disciple of Mr. Ghost Valley.

Even though the blue flame creature incident in the Utopian Village was effortlessly resolved by Wu Liang, deep down they weren't fully submissive to this young man.

But this confrontation with the [Pioneers] was different!

Through the news broadcast, every [Ghost Valley] old member realized the significant impact of Wu Liang's actions, solidifying their desire to follow him to overthrow the [Pioneers] and seize control of the [Promised Land].

Unfortunately, Ayimu's status among them was still not high.

Essentially, this group believed in the survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle.

So at Wu Liang's sudden appearance, the agent reacted in such panic.

Upon raising his head again, he discovered Wu Liang, wearing the Nightmare Mask, standing before him, offering a hand to lift him up saying, "I know you've been waiting for so long and are anxious, but waiting is always worthwhile. Without patience, does one really aim to deal with the [Pioneers]?"

"You're right... I was somewhat impulsive. I apologize to Saintess Ayimu!" the agent quickly said.

Seeing Wu Liang's arrival made him realize their real actions were about to commence.

There's no need at this crucial moment to fall out with Wu Liang because of a woman like Ayimu who has no abilities.

Especially since, through the news broadcast, they witnessed Wu Liang acknowledging himself as the "supernatural calamity," which excited the [Ghost Valley] old members greatly.

"Gather everyone at the podium in No. 2 Village; I have an important announcement,"

Wu Liang smirked subtly and said, "We're going to cause a stir in the [Promised Land]!"
