"This... is the only way," Zhang Hongbo said reluctantly, steeling himself.
He had already braced himself to be blamed by Xia Hanshi, but the other man simply said lightly:
"Alright, do as you say. Send requests in my name to the nearest few cities and have them each dispatch some manpower to help."
'He actually agreed?'
Yang Yan and Gu Bing were stunned. This was a thankless task.
Even if they brought in reinforcements and found a lead, it would still be difficult to answer for any heavy casualties during the subsequent cleanup operation.
Zhang Hongbo was also surprised, but a look of excitement soon crossed his face.
Su Chen, watching from the side, saw things clearly. After this, the leadership of the other cities would naturally be dissatisfied, and the bad reputation would fall on Xia Hanshi.
'Old Xia knows all this, but as long as he can kill the Deceitful God Sect, he doesn't care. That's his core principle.' Su Chen mused to himself, 'Old Xia really hates them.'
