1055 The Great Purge of Special Ops, Critical Situation

Most Federation experts were trapped in a secret realm out on the Infinite Sea and the Federation was in turmoil.

At this time, Special Ops felt reinvigorated. Their chief's return would play a crucial role in stabilizing the situation.

The other newly promoted deputy chief of Special Ops, Bai Wen, looked at Chu Yunfan nervously.

Everyone had heard the news of Chu Yunfan's death in the teleportation array's spatial turbulence. The news had spread and caused a huge uproar throughout the Federation.

The former number one expert of the Federation, the president, had disappeared and they had just produced another great expert. No one expected the great expert to fall before holding on to his position for a few years.

It was initially just a rumor and not many believed it, but soon, the video recording showed what had happened. Chu Yunfan had been ambushed in the teleportation array. The array was a trap set by a traitor in Special Ops.

After that, Special Ops experienced a sizeable purge.

Chu Yunfan, who was the Federation's current totem, a pillar of strength, and a high-ranking Federation official, had met with a mishap because there was a traitor in Special Ops.

The Federation Government was furious, and even its higher-ups believed these were not just some low-ranking spies. It was likely that even the higher-ups of Special Ops had been deeply infiltrated.

Chu Yunfan's fate was unknown, and it was highly likely he was already dead. The Federation higher-ups did not trust the current Special Ops, primarily because it used Special Ops to carry out missions. It was a sharp, swift sword in the Federation Government's hands.

Now that its sword had rusted, one could imagine how furious the Federation Government was.

Special Ops would typically be the ones to investigate if there was a mole among them, but now, the Federation Government suspected that Special Ops had been infiltrated. Hence, the Federation Government transferred elite personnel from various departments to Special Ops.

They took everyone involved in this matter for investigation, including the deputy chief. It was an unprecedented event for Special Ops.

What made the Special Ops members even more anxious was that a nested case had been found. The group of people the deputy chief led been infiltrated.

This time, it was highly suspected that Chu Yunfan's death was related to the deputy chief. It further aggravated the Federation Government's upper echelons and they expanded the scope of the investigation.

In just a few months, the Federation Government had investigated and taken away tens of thousands of people. There was no other outcome than being shot for such a quasi-military unit if they found a spy.

Special Ops' reputation, which Chu Yunfan had brought up, plummeted after such an incident. Simultaneously, Special Ops was in a state of panic.

Afterward, the Federation Government no longer trusted Special Ops. It would be difficult for Special Ops to regain its trust before the dust settled.

The death of the legendary Chief Chu Yunfan also caused Special Ops' morale to plummet.

Now their chief had reappeared, it boosted Special Ops' morale significantly. As long as he was around, Special Ops would be held in high regard.

"Chief Chu, you're okay! That's great!" Bai Wen was delighted and relieved.

Chu Yunfan's resurrection was the great news for him. The pressure on him during this period had been too great.

He possessed the ambition to improve himself and had thought about what it would be like to take charge of Special Ops one day. However, he had already felt overwhelming pressure after being in charge of Special Ops for a short time.

The survival of countless people in such a large department sat on his shoulders. It made him understand how ridiculous his previous ambitions were. Now that Chu Yunfan had returned, he could finally sigh in relief.

"What's going on? Where's Huo Ruonan?" Chu Yunfan asked.

"Chief Huo got lost in the ruins," Bai Wen said worriedly.

Chu Yunfan's brows furrowed slightly. Then he learned from Bai Wen what had happened in the few months he had been away.

Over the past few months, a traitor in Special Ops had betrayed Chu Yunfan. No one knew whether or not Chu Yunfan had survived. Meanwhile, the Federation Government investigated Special Ops.

However, it was different for the Federation. Instead, many Divines had gotten lost in the deep sea ruins out at the Infinite Sea.

A Divine of the Federation initially discovered the ruins, but one party could not monopolize it because it was expansive. Therefore, the Federation organized more than half of its Divines to go there together.

The momentum of this operation had been huge. However, no one expected it to be a trap set by the marine folks and Infinite Demon Mountain. The two forces had sealed off the ruin's entrance, chasing and killing the Divines who entered.

Nearly ten Divines had fallen within just a few days. As for Huo Ruonan, she became the acting chief when Chu Yunfan's fate remained unknown. She had also entered the Divine Abilities Stage because of the Divinity Nourishment Pill.

As such, she had also participated in the search of the ruins. Now, she was also trapped and her fate was uncertain.

"How bold!" Chu Yunfan clenched his fists tightly. He knew Huo Ruonan, Tang Siyu, Chu Haoyue, the Chu Great Ancestor, the Heavenly Dragon Elder, and his grandfather, Yang Feiyang, had gotten involved.

They had gotten trapped with uncertain fates.

Although the relationship between the marine folks and humans was shaky, they had maintained a degree of restraint between them. They did not know there was a big fight between the Federation and Infinite Demon Mountain.

Infinite Demon Mountain and the marine folks had joined forces to deal with the Federation's Divines. He had a terrible feeling about the two sides joining forces against the Federation.
