Hunting God Era

Chapter 137 Allowing the Enemy to Run Forty-Nine Meters

Li Ye returned to Ningjiang that evening and went to work as usual the next day.

At that moment, he was looking at Ning Jiang and Jin Ze's report.

The reorganization of the Jinze City Disinfection Bureau will take some time. After Zhong Chang consulted with his superiors, the report was sent to him.

The records of demonic activity in the two cities—which traces were cleared and how they were eradicated—were filtered through the data section. The remaining information needed to be reviewed by the bureau chief, and once it was confirmed to be correct, it could be archived.

Just as he was reading the documents, the director's door, which had already been repaired after receiving compensation, was knocked on, and then someone pushed the door open and entered.

"Grandpa Wang?"

Li Ye was taken aback and was about to get up when Director Wang, with a beaming smile, waved his hand, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Li Ye at the desk, signaling him to continue.

Li Ye could only continue looking at the documents until all of them were confirmed to be correct and placed on the table. Only then did Director Wang smile and say:
"The most important task for a local bureau chief is to prevent demons and prevent any trace of powerful demons from appearing. Other tasks include defeating local bullies and suppressing the city's martial artists; those bureaus that excel in eliminating demons are those that can't win but can maintain the most basic power to prevent and monitor demons; those are just average bureaus."

"The problem is that if the situation can't be contained and there's no way to monitor it, then the disinfection bureau basically loses its function, and we'll need to replace it with a new one. The disinfection bureau in Yingcang lost its function."

"Then the personnel will need to be replaced. The original team will be reorganized and divided up. Xiao Ye, can the disinfection bureau of Jinze City take on this task?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ye blinked and said, "Grandpa Wang, I am the director of the Ningjiang City Disinfection Bureau."

Director Wang laughed and said, "The disinfection bureau doesn't follow the rules, whether it's external or internal. Legally speaking, you are the director of Ningjiang City Bureau."

"But objectively speaking, you are a powerful force that has crossed over to the two markets. We must be realistic and not let trivial matters cloud our judgment."

"I'm afraid that one day I'll be dragged into target practice because of what you just said," Li Ye joked.

Director Wang chuckled and said, "As long as your stance is sound, even if it's target practice, you won't be the first one there."

Li Ye didn't hesitate and nodded:
"Okay, I'll take them in. Let's not break them up. I've had contact with Director Shi, and he's a decent person. I'll take in some people here, and then we'll all go to Jinze."

He was still at the pest control bureau in Yingcang City yesterday. Although they didn't find any trace of the cult there, you can't really blame them. They've done a good job in preventing demons and monsters, maintaining their basic functions, and they get along fairly well with the local bullies.

However, it's impossible to go any further. Without strong control, it's unlikely to discover the underhanded actions of a third-realm martial artist. Plus, there are probably some 'gifts' that Yangtian Agriculture sends from time to time, making it even less likely.

The situation was the same as in Ningjiang before Pan Zhengyang arrived, except that the Ren family had been replaced by the Tian family, only the other party was more cautious.

However, it's not that these people are unusable. They're definitely capable of preventing demons from spreading. If you place them next to a strong colleague who can protect them, they can fulfill their duties.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang praised, "Xiao Ye, this is admirable. Many martial artists value clear thinking. For them, certain things are best resolved immediately so that they never reappear."

He sighed again:
"But this kind of thing is not subject to personal opinion. If we were to fire them all, it would be simple, but where would we find people? As for suppressing them all, we did it thirty years ago, but it was a huge blow to us, after all, it was like cutting off our own flesh."

"Martial artists are all full of youthful vigor and blood, and many of them break the law with their martial arts. If we suppress them too much here, they will all run away. But if we don't suppress them enough, it will easily turn into the situation outside. Restoring order and getting to the root of the problem has always been difficult."

“Grandpa Wang, I don’t have your level of expertise. It’s just that we’re short-handed right now. The thing you promised me about filling the manpower gap hasn’t been settled yet. Now that I have this opportunity, of course I have to seize it,” Li Ye said with a smile.

He also pursues the same goal, but with the advantage of having a cheat code, this part is easier to accomplish.

Director Wang's eyes showed even greater approval. Li Ye was indeed quite special in this regard. It's not unusual for a young man to be a bit bloodthirsty. Having a weapon naturally arouses the desire to kill. It would be abnormal if he didn't have a bloodthirsty aura.

But the ability to tolerate filth and not be bothered by trivialities is a skill in itself.

"He who bears the nation's shame is the master of the state. Your title of 'King of Rebels' is not entirely undeserved."

Director Wang chuckled and continued, "The ore you sent for testing last time has been found. It's a magical artifact, but not exactly weapon material. Since the artifact is new, we'll temporarily name it 'Mineral Steel Heart.' If it's forged into a weapon, it's suitable for making gauntlets and a large hammer, which will enhance defense and have self-repairing properties."

"Even a martial artist who doesn't practice the Vajra Gate technique, once they use it, will be comparable to the 'Scar' level of the Vajra Gate. If a Vajra Gate martial artist uses it, the enhancement will be even greater. What are your thoughts?"

Li Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Grandpa Wang, is there a choice?"

"I've been waiting for you to say that."

Director Wang chuckled, "That magical artifact of yours is actually better used as medical supplies than as a weapon. If used properly, it can directly replace the heart of a seriously injured person. If you want to replace it, my suggestion is to hand it over, and we'll choose one more suitable for you." Li Ye really didn't need anything like enhanced defense or self-repair capabilities.

His defense is strong enough. He'll wait for the next Demon Realm, and then he'll prepare to break through to the Vajra Pass - Extreme. A magic weapon produced in a small Demon Realm, no matter how strong its enhancement is, is still just so-so.

As for self-repair, with the power of feeding back to the vengeful spirits in his hands, he can swallow the pollution and spit it out on himself, which will definitely have a greater effect than any magic weapon.

As a gauntlet, this weapon was well-suited to his attack style, but Li Ye trusted his own fingers more, so he might as well switch to something different.
"What would suit me?" Li Ye asked.

"That's a lot. We have materials for everything from traditional weapons to unusual ones. You have to trust the country's reserves of these."

Director Wang thought for a moment, "I heard that you have broken through all six barriers and mastered the 'Flowing Shadow Intercepting Heaven Scripture'?"

Li Ye nodded. "This martial art has a pretty good sword technique. You wouldn't want me to use the sword, would you?"

"It's up to you. The main issue is the materials. If you choose something else, you can forge it into the weapon you want. The magic weapon I recommended is also made of a type of ore. Do you know about the 'Mirage Bone Demon'?"

“The Classic of the Great Wilderness, Western Regions mentions that there is a mirage-bone demon in the Western Sea that loves the essence of the four seas. It has twenty-four jade vertebrae on its spine, and when sunlight is refracted, it appears as a city of a thousand sails,” Li Ye replied.

Director Wang was even more satisfied and said, "After a martial artist killed it, the magic weapon 'Jade Mirage Spine' dropped."

"This magic weapon can gather qi, and its movement can dazzle people. Moreover, it has been determined that this spine can be extended. If you use it at the second level, you can store and unleash your qi. Experts believe that it can also be used at the third level."

"It would be suitable to make it into a sword or a spear. What do you think of this magic weapon?"

"Then this is it."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye said, "Let's use a sword. I've never seen one that can extend."

I was originally thinking of switching to a more practical magic item, like one that automatically repairs clothes. It's a bit of a hassle because his clothes always get torn when someone hits him.

After all, unlike others, he doesn't kill people with a single blow, so he doesn't have that kind of trouble.

But it's quite strange that this magical artifact can extend.

Will we allow the enemy to run forty-nine meters in the future?

"Then it's settled."

Director Wang smiled and said, "I heard from Zheng Yang that you have some doubts about the cultivation methods after entering Tianyuan?"

"I really don't know. I can understand the true seed and the elephant seed, but I've never seen this Dharma seed."

“We have it here. Your contribution may not be enough, but you are definitely old enough. Don’t say you’re under eighteen. Even if you break through to the third realm of Heavenly Origin before you turn thirty, you can still apply for it.”

"I remember there's a 'Pure Crystal' magic seed here, it's of the Ice element. Are you interested?"

"Grandpa Wang, aren't you being too kind to me? You just gave it to me like that? But I'd like to have more options," Li Ye asked.

Director Wang's expression turned complicated, and he sighed, "Then we'll have to 'steal' it. Xiao Ye, Grandpa's here to tell you something."

"I told you you couldn't come all the way to Ningjiang to see me just because of a magic weapon and some people."

Li Ye laughed and asked, "What's the matter that requires such a large-scale effort?"

“Tian Daoli’s father, Tian Zhixing, was a senior figure with significant contributions. You killed his only son. It’s not that this person is untouchable, but that it’s impossible to deal with him directly. He hasn’t committed any crime in essence, so dealing with him directly would be against the principles of justice. However, if we don’t deal with him and wait until he makes a big mistake, it will be too late.”

"If a martial artist of the fourth realm were to truly make a move, you wouldn't be able to stop them."

Director Wang looked at Li Ye and said, "Xiao Ye, for your sake, don't go into the Primordial Demon Realm if you're in the Third Realm."
