Chapter 280 - 194: Operation Code: Exorcism
Just when Li Yi had begun his meditation for cultivation,
the Investigative Bureau had already made a significant decision—to mobilize all cultivators in Tianchang City for a cleanup operation in the old city district, aiming to eliminate the supernatural presence hidden within and restore peace to the city. The operation was codenamed: Demon Slayer.
In order to smoothly carry out this operation, the Investigative Bureau put forward two Golden Academy slots and the lifetime use of fifteen Mysterious Object Cultivation Rooms as rewards to attract cultivators to participate.
Once the news broke, it spread throughout the various cultivation circles of Tianchang City in just half an hour.
Li Shaqing from the Cultivator Association was among the first to receive the news.
Currently lingering in the Ruined District, Li Shaqing couldn’t help frowning as he read the message on his phone: " What is the Investigative Bureau thinking? They’re even using their internal slots for the competition, just to deal with the ghosts in the old city district? Doesn’t this render the efforts of the Bureau’s investigators for previous missions in vain?"
"Li Shaqing, the Investigative Bureau never mentioned the Golden Academy slots before. Although it’s true that this was their internal arrangement, they never officially announced it, so it doesn’t count. Now they’ve officially notified us, which shows how serious the situation in the old city district is. The Bureau can’t sit still any longer. However, our Cultivator Association also has a slot. There’s no need for us to join in, right? As long as we steadily hunt down extraordinary creatures, your entry into the Golden Academy is virtually guaranteed, and that Yang Yilong will have a hard time competing with us," said a nearby master of Spiritual Perception, smiling.
"No, you’re wrong. We must take part in this. Otherwise, if the Investigative Bureau holds us to account later, even if I secure that slot, I won’t be able to enter the Golden Academy or become a Cross Border," said Li Shaqing as he put down his phone. "No matter how powerful a cultivator is, we are still governed by official entities at this time. This concerns the safety of our city. If we back out now and that ends up on record, we will definitely face big troubles in the future."
"It’s just a waste of a day or two’s time. Notify everyone in the Cultivator Association to take a trip to the old city district. This time it’s not about making an effort for nothing—securing even a few Mysterious Object Cultivation Rooms is good. These objects are extremely precious nowadays. Anyone who can see through illusions will see a sharp increase in their Cultivation Value. Master Pete is the best example of this."
