Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands-Chapter 414: You’re Going to Logistics—Stay Off the Frontlines

Chapter 414: You're Going to Logistics—Stay Off the Frontlines

Shen Mo gave a helpless smile.

He knew that with the existence of the Golden Ranking, there was no way to hide the fact that he had earned such a vast amount of merit.

So, he had been prepared from the very beginning.

However, just as he was about to speak, he saw a group of people approaching the camp in a great rush.

At the head of the group was none other than Ning Tianying, the centurion of Shen Mo’s own hundred-man unit.

Shi Dingyue and the others straightened their backs at once and called out loudly, “Greetings, Centurion Ning!”

This woman, whose frame was as burly as a giant bear, gave a slight nod and looked at Shen Mo deeply.

“Shen Mo, come with me.”

“General Zhang wants to see you.”

Shi Dingyue and the others were shocked. “General Zhang?!”

But Shen Mo only nodded. “Alright.”

If Zhang Longxiang couldn’t deduce that he was the one who anonymously submitted the intel—despite Shen Mo being second on the Human Ranking—then this Demon-Suppressing General’s reputation was rather undeserved.

Shi Dingyue watched Shen Mo leave, a thoughtful look on his face.

Li Heitan and the other four still seemed completely lost, staring blankly.

At the fortress’s high tower—

Zhong Baisheng had already been waiting at the entrance.

Ning Tianying didn’t go up the tower herself, but handed Shen Mo over to Zhong Baisheng and had him escort Shen Mo up.

Zhong Baisheng looked at Shen Mo with a gaze full of meaning.

“Shen Mo, you really are a knife up the butt—unexpected and eye-opening.”

Shen Mo just smiled. “I’m just a bit more observant than most.”

Zhong Baisheng nodded and took him to the top of the tower without another word.

There, Shen Mo saw the man sitting behind the desk.

This man was neither as tall and burly as Zhong Baisheng nor as muscular as Ning Tianying.

He looked utterly ordinary.

If he were stripped of his general’s armor and dressed in coarse clothing like a farmer, no one would suspect that he was the number one figure in Xuanwu Fortress—

The Demon-Suppressing Heavenly General ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking!

Shen Mo held deep respect for this general who guarded the fortress and protected the human race.

He said sincerely, “Yellow-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard Shen Mo greets General Zhang.”

Zhang Longxiang looked up and waved at Zhong Baisheng.

Zhong Baisheng nodded and took his leave.

Only then did Zhang Longxiang smile.

His smile was warm and approachable.

“Shen Mo, have a seat,” he said, pointing to the chair.

Shen Mo didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down directly with a nod.

Zhang Longxiang smiled. “You suddenly appeared as second on the Human Ranking. Most of your merit came from anonymously reporting An Zhenxiong and the members of the Demon-Slaying Society.”

“I asked Ning Tianying to bring you here simply to ask a few questions.”

Shen Mo nodded. “I understand. Please ask, General.”

Zhang Longxiang asked, “How did you determine that Lin Yuanxin was An Zhenxiong?”

Shen Mo replied, “The cultivation method I practice is rather unique—it allows me to detect demonkind.”

“When I was within ten paces of Lin Yuanxin, I noticed unusual fluctuations in my technique.”

“After repeated confirmation, I suspected that Lin Yuanxin may have already been parasitized by a demon.”

“Sometimes, even on the battlefield, I would split my focus to observe him. I noticed that when he killed True Demon Sovereigns, there wasn’t just the righteous hatred of a human toward demons—there was also a strange, personal grudge.”

“Taking all this into account, I deduced that Lin Yuanxin was likely not human, but a Peak Realm True Demon Sovereign disguised using a Thousand-Face Shapeshifting Technique.”

When he had anonymously submitted the report earlier, he hadn’t described it in full detail. In fact, he had deliberately made parts of it vague, and some parts were even pure speculation.

He knew very well which parts needed to be simplified and which needed to be precise.

If he wrote too much, it would invite unnecessary suspicion.

Which could, in turn, affect him.

Zhang Longxiang asked with some curiosity, “This cultivation method of yours—would you be willing to tell me more about it?”

Shen Mo wasn’t worried that Zhang Longxiang would try to seize his cultivation method.

If a Demon-Suppressing Guard committed any wrongdoing, the Heavenly Dao’s will would detect it and deduct their war merit.

Zhang Longxiang, as a Demon-Suppressing General, would face even harsher punishment from the Heavenly Dao if he stole a subordinate’s technique.

Shen Mo's thoughts stirred. “I wonder if General Zhang has heard of Master Yanyu?”

Zhang Longxiang raised an eyebrow. “Of course I have.”

“His full name was Zhao Yu.”

“At the time, I wasn’t yet the general of Xuanwu Fortress. I was only a Heaven-Rank Demon-Suppressing Guard. He was searching for rare treasures and accidentally crossed the Eastern Sea, somehow ending up in the Demon-Suppressing Sea.”

“All of us were shocked. Someone had crossed the vast ocean without the aid of the Heavenly Dao’s will and arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Sea, which is so far from the continent.”

“Later, Master Yanyu joined our fortress and fought alongside us for a while.”

Zhang Longxiang sighed. “Not long after, he was gravely wounded by An Chen, who was still a True Demon Sovereign back then, and eventually disappeared.”

“He never returned to the fortress. I imagine he’s already passed away.”

Shen Mo became thoughtful.

He hadn’t expected Master Yanyu’s past to be so legendary.

A cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm had actually crossed the sea to reach the Demon-Suppressing Sea by himself.

Zhang Longxiang continued, “If you know of Master Yanyu, then the technique you're cultivating must be one of his creations.”

“He was very unique. Although not high in realm, he was exceptionally talented at creating techniques and martial skills.”

“During his time at the fortress, he even crafted a Heaven-Rank martial technique tailored specifically for the previous general of Xuanwu Fortress.”

“He once said that he hoped to create a technique capable of injuring demons—but unfortunately, he never succeeded before he left.”

Shen Mo's heart stirred. “General Zhang, the technique I cultivate is precisely the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra created by Master Yanyu.”

“I’m willing to offer the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra for others in the Demon-Suppressing Guard to study.”

He then described the process of cultivating the sutra and advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm.

If he could promote the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra, he would undoubtedly earn a tremendous amount of war merit.

Zhang Longxiang was initially pleased, but his expression darkened as he listened to Shen Mo’s explanation.

“No, the power contained in those three items is too overwhelming. If you truly refined and absorbed them, there’s at least an eighty percent chance you would’ve exploded on the spot. The remaining twenty percent wouldn’t mean success—it would be permanent crippling, with no chance of recovery.”

“Unless your body is extremely special, or you had some other treasure inside you that helped neutralize the excess power.”

Shen Mo blinked.

Now that he thought about it, that might actually be the case.

At that time, his body had undergone long-term tempering by the Green Lotus Core Flame, making it far stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator.

It was precisely because of this that after arriving at the Demon-Suppressing Sea, he possessed a far tougher physique than most cultivators who relied solely on spiritual energy techniques.

Zhang Longxiang added, “The techniques created by Master Yanyu all require extremely high comprehension. Unless they were specifically made for someone, most people can't cultivate them.”

“This Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra surely isn’t something everyone can train in.”

“You being able to cultivate it makes you quite fortunate.”

“It’s not something that can be promoted widely. A shame—if it could, you would have earned enormous war merit.”

Zhang Longxiang looked regretful.

Shen Mo clicked his tongue, feeling a bit of regret himself.

If only he could distribute the Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra widely—

His war merit would probably skyrocket at a terrifying pace.

Forget the Human Ranking—even the Earth Ranking wouldn’t be a problem.

Truly a pity.

Zhang Longxiang paced back and forth for a long time. “Now that you’re ranked second on the Human Ranking, the demon race will surely target you.”

“Also, you exposed many members of the Demon Execution Society, resulting in their complete purge from Xuanwu Fortress. That will make the society bear deep hatred toward you.”

“There’s a Demon-Suppressing General among the demon race who is aggressively spreading the Demon Execution Society in his own fortress.”

“And your Divine Thunder Demon-Suppressing Sutra allows you to identify whether someone has been possessed by a demon. That makes you all the more important.”

“Your current situation is extremely dangerous.”

After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Here’s what we’ll do—starting today, you’ll be transferred to the logistics division. Stay off the frontlines.”

“Logistics is much safer for you.”

“The Formation Hall, Pill Hall, Spirit Armament Hall, Armory—which one do you want to go to?”
