Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

As the speech ended, the room was immediately filled with applause.

"However," Huang Anhua’s tone shifted, "before I summarize the battle situation for everyone, I’d like to ask all of you to observe a moment of silence for our comrades who lost their lives in this operation."

Huang Anhua’s words made everyone present look solemn, and they all bowed their heads.

Chu Xiu glanced around. One of the sixteen teams that executed the mission didn’t return.

To be honest, this rate of sacrifice was already quite low, considering they were facing formidable demigods.

After a period of silence, Huang Anhua raised his head and exhaled deeply, "Alright, let’s talk about the operation now."

"Although we paid the price of two Heroic Spirits, this operation can be said to have perfectly achieved its goal. The valiant figures of all of you in battle, broadcasted to the masses, greatly boosted the morale of the populace."

Huang Anhua waved his hand, and scenes of people battling the Horned Demons appeared around them, along with excited citizens watching the fights from the underground shelter.

It was clear that when these ordinary people became aware that the high-up Awakened hadn’t abandoned them but were instead fighting on the frontlines against the Horned Demons for their sake, the atmosphere in the entire shelter underwent a massive change.

This scene made the group of Heroic Spirits smile as well.

Although many of them didn’t actually care about these ordinary people, panic tends to spread from the bottom up. If a disturbance occurred among the populace, the Low Tier Awakened would inevitably be affected, and once they started panicking, the High Tier Awakened would be shaken as well, leading to a collapse of order.

At that point, the pressure of facing enemies would become much greater for these Heroic Spirits.

At this moment, Huang Anhua’s voice sounded again: "And in this operation, I especially want to commend two individuals."

After speaking, he waved his hand again, and the images of Chu Xiu and Chen Yuan appeared on the screen!

Chen Yuan soared into the sky, constantly emanating dazzling light. His powerful attack ability drew gasps of astonishment from the group of Heroic Spirits below.

Clearly, even among the Heroic Spirits, Chen Yuan’s attack ability was seen as exceptionally outstanding.

When Chu Xiu made his entrance, splitting an entire spire with a single sword strike, all the Heroic Spirits fell silent.

They looked at Chu Xiu, expressions of amazement and doubt flashing in their eyes. Was this terrifying energy output really from a Heroic Spirit?

Especially those who knew Chu Xiu, they never imagined that this usually low-key guy had such frightening true strength!

Even Jiang Lingfu couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother Qin, you really are something hidden and not revealed!"

Chu Xiu just smiled without responding.

He also realized why the casualty rate was so low.

It turned out their team was straightforward, going directly to the enemy’s stronghold, while other teams only engaged in inconsequential harassment from afar, targeting isolated patrols, never venturing more than a kilometer from the subway station.

At the first sign of trouble, they’d retreat immediately.

It’s fair to say that the combined contributions of the other fifteen teams didn’t match those of Chu Xiu alone!

Of course, this was also because Chu Xiu had absolute confidence in his own strength, which allowed him to act so daringly.

This made the footage of Chu Xiu destroying the black spire play repeatedly in all shelters, making him almost a hero in Peng City in the eyes of the people.

"The team of Qin Yu and Chen Yuan not only took down many Horned Demons but even destroyed a spire!"

"After consulting with various demigods, we unanimously agreed to award Qin Yu and Chen Yuan an extra fifty thousand Cause and Effect Points each! And once we are free, the government will award them an additional fifty thousand Cause and Effect Points each! Qin Yu will receive an extra fifty thousand as well!"

"Other members of the team will also receive different rewards!"

As the words fell, everyone looked at Chu Xiu and Chen Yuan with envious eyes.

However, no one raised any objections; this was what they deserved. They earned it with their lives!

The government wants to show everyone that they have all the Cause and Effect Points in their hands now. They have enough rewards to distribute! You can slack off in the back if you want, but if you want to earn something good, you’d better charge forward and take risks!

Seeing the expressions of everyone, Huang Anhua decisively chose to add fuel to the fire!

"Moreover, as a reward for Qin Yu destroying the black spire, our government will give him an extra piece of Heroic Spirit Ultimate Equipment!"

Huang Anhua flipped his wrist, revealing a Feather Robe glowing with multicolored light in his hand.

This prompted another round of discussion below, leaving Chu Xiu overwhelmed with surprise.

He stepped forward to receive it, discovering it was a very rare piece of equipment. The power it contained even surpassed Zhang Kunlun’s [Great Sword Divine Attendant Heavy Armor], making it one of the especially rare batches among all [Ultimate] equipment, perfectly suitable for him to continue cultivating the Myriad Weapons Storage Technique.

Chu Xiu quickly expressed his gratitude and put it away.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard someone below whisper, "Isn’t this equipment ’Yellow Sand Concealer’s’?"

This made Chu Xiu pause slightly.

The Yellow Sand Concealer was indeed one of the two Heroic Spirits who unfortunately died in this battle.

Chu Xiu had seen their combat as well. Like him, they had entered the black spire, but the difference was that the attacking demigod had a strange concealment Divine Technique. It wasn’t discovered until it was only two kilometers away from them.

The Yellow Sand Concealer was the slowest and, seeing no way to escape, immediately used a Secret Technique that consumed life, barely managing to hold back the demigod.
