Chapter 1312: Chapter 881: The Development Zone Triangle

“It’s over…”

With trepidation, he opened his eyes and saw Yong Xinglai, the Saint, fall slain. This subordinate of the Yong Family now felt a sense of powerlessness.

The fall of a Saint, especially one holding the Flame of Civilization of a city!

This was a calamity of epic proportions.

Perhaps fearing being tracked, the Flame of Civilization wasn’t taken out. But given the time the other had it, who knew what had been done.

Such actions would surely be accounted for later.

Inevitably, I would be one of those held accountable!

Even though my Catastrophe Level strength meant I truly didn’t know, and my sin wasn’t deserving of death.

But it’s likely I’d be assigned some dangerous mission for atonement…

Shaking these thoughts from his mind, Jiang Ziqing respectfully bowed and said,

“Sinner Jiang Ziqing, I have met the Saint. Thank you for slaying the Fallen Evil Saint; otherwise, we might have become his food to regain strength.”

The Saint’s actions were beyond their comprehension, but retrospectively they realized the peril they had been in.

If not for this person chasing him down, they might have already been absorbed as flesh within his body, becoming a part of him.

Looking back, aside from several World Breakers, nearly everyone else had become mutated flesh. Even World Breakers had some bodily changes due to the non-targeted pollution radiation.

Each of them wore a pale expression.

This passive pollution might not have been lethal or warrant execution, but their fate was grim nonetheless!

Currently, the entire New Development Zone bore traces of pollution due to the other’s all-consuming attack.

Even Tao Yu shook his head upon seeing it.

This place was pretty much wasted.

Everything had to start over, even the location of the gathering had to be changed.

This scattered pollution required much time to handle, even if Tao Yu stayed, which he had neither intention nor need to do.

“Well, can any of you contact the Administration Bureau?”

Tao Yu turned around and calmly scanned them; his Sacred Intent swept away some surface pollution effortlessly, restoring the World Breakers.

Each was overjoyed, offering endless gratitude.

Seeing Tao Yu’s casual display of power, Jiang Ziqing’s heart moved.

It seemed this Saint didn’t mind assisting others—a Great Kind Person!

After all, a supreme Saint’s casual effort might solve problems others couldn’t no matter how hard they tried!

This made the pressure on the two Catastrophe Level individuals lessen considerably. Jiang Ziqing then cupped his hands and said,

“Regarding the Administration Bureau, I have their cross-border communication link, but it’s just a team stationed in Yongling City. However, upon reporting this, they should be able to contact the Empire’s headquarters.”

“Just contact them; they know who I am.”

Tao Yu waved his hand impatiently.

Those fools brazenly guaranteeing things were truly exasperating…

…

“What, what?! How is that possible!”

Still lurking at Floating City, the Administration Bureau’s squad Captain, who had been observing in secret, originally intended to maintain communication silence, but was shocked upon seeing the message content.

Yong Xinglai had already fled??

What then was the point of our clownish surveillance here?

Initially, they couldn’t possibly surveil a Saint—just a token gesture to show their superiors they were working hard.

Who expected such a blunder to occur?

Almost at that moment, their remaining informants in the New Development Zone sent back, via encrypted message, intelligence that the teleportation device had been destroyed, verifying it doubly.

“How could his intelligence source be so fast?”

The Administration Bureau members felt their heads ache.

They had informants there too, but couldn’t lavishly supply cross-border communicators—only ordinary informers.

To pass critical information, they relied on returnees or mission hall messages.

This incident was of such significance that it necessitated encrypted transmission; returning Pioneers didn’t experience the subsequent holy war nor knew the specifics, only reporting the teleportation device’s destruction.

But with Jiang Ziqing’s communication, everything connected.

Someone tipped off Yong Xinglai, leading to his escape.

Afterwards, he possibly sought revenge against the Burning Legion and was instead killed by their Commander pursuing him!

Contemplating the mess unearthed, he felt his vision darkened.

“This means there’s either a mole in the higher-ups, or among us, and since we monitored each other upon return as per regulations, perhaps we’re all moles…”

This Bennett Captain wore a bitter expression.

If not us, then it must be higher-ups in headquarters?

Left and right, we are doomed!

With this realization, he urgently addressed his communicator,

“Can I speak with that personage?”

“What’s the matter?”

Tao Yu asked casually.

“Sir, it truly isn’t us! There’s a mole in our headquarters!”

He had no choice but to brazen it out for self-preservation.

“Hmm, I can believe that.”

Previously, they were under his direct oversight, their power, mood swings—nothing could escape him; they seemed indeed above suspicion.
