Chapter 280: Chapter 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."

"If I could see through illusions, I might not even need to compete for those so-called slots. I could enter the Golden Academy solely based on my Cultivation Value," he mused.

Li Shaqing was quite moved; what he valued wasn’t the slots but the Mysterious Object Cultivation Rooms.

Although he had previously applied to the Investigative Bureau for their use, the matter had been continuously delayed due to Captain Zhang Lei’s coma, which frustrated him. However, this was now an opportunity. By putting in some effort and securing a Mysterious Object Cultivation Room, it would be of great help to his future.

"Give everyone an hour to prepare. Once the time is up, we set off immediately," he said, checking the time.

And over in AnDing District,

Yang Yilong, who had been cultivating inside a Cultivation Cabin, received this important message as well.

He immediately stepped out of the Cultivation Cabin.

"Yilong, what’s happened?" Yang Jin, standing beside the Cultivation Cabin, asked right away.

Yang Yilong glanced at him, then signaled for the guide near the Cultivation Cabin to leave before showing his phone to Yang Jin. His message, however, was different from the others’. The Investigative Bureau had offered him a specific deal, willing to unseal all the Yang Family’s properties and promising to gift him a Mysterious Object Cultivation Room if Yang Yilong could resolve the current issue.

As for a slot at the Golden Academy, he could forget about it—the Bureau would not release a slot to such a powerful competitor.

The Bureau hoped that their own people would secure the slots.

"This is a good opportunity. With your strength, Yilong, completing this mission won’t be difficult. Although it involves some eerie matters, your sword is the perfect counter. This is a rare opportunity for you," Yang Jin said excitedly, knowing that this could erase the negative impact caused by the Yang Family in the past.

Yang Yilong nodded, "That’s what I think too. I’ve come into contact with the weirdness of the old city district before. It won’t be hard for me to deal with. Previously, this was a matter for the Investigative Bureau, and I didn’t want to get involved since it could attract a lot of trouble. It’s not as straightforward as hunting down extraordinary creatures, which allows me to earn money, compete for a slot, and refine my cultivation. But this time, for the sake of the Yang Family’s properties, I must take a trip no matter what."

"But what about the Cultivator Association?" Yang Jin then asked, somewhat hesitant.

"Li Shaqing from the Cultivator Association has already taken action. He has given up hunting extraordinary creatures to take on the mission and has expressed his willingness to cooperate with the Bureau’s operation."

At that moment, a woman with vertical blue pupils walked in briskly, her eyes flickering with an indescribable allure.

"My concern, however, isn’t just that. Lin Yue and Li Yi will also take action. They’ve joined the Investigative Bureau as external combatants and will definitely participate in the mission. When the time comes, it’s very likely that we’ll run into each other."

"If we do meet, a battle is bound to erupt, which will be troublesome. You should prepare early."

Yang Yilong’s expression darkened, "The old city district is vast and filled with dangers. I’ll find an opportunity to finish off Li Yi and put an end to this grudge once and for all. As for Lin Yue... I had no quarrels with her, but she personally killed my uncle Yang Ye. I must avenge this. Otherwise, if I let them continue to grow, I might end up falling into their hands someday."
