Hunting God Era

Chapter 152 My sword is not at a disadvantage

After bidding farewell to Pan Zhengyang, Li Ye went to find Wang Ting next.

He didn't know the strength of the Fourth Realm, and Pan Zhengyang was also vague about it, but he revealed a key point.

The realm of divine illumination is the threshold.

Of the nine realms of martial arts, Li Ye had only ever seen a martial artist in the third realm make a move. Only Wang Ting and Tian Zhixing belonged to the fourth realm, but no one knew exactly what they were like.

But it doesn't matter if he doesn't know, because he originally came to Yangcheng partly to find Director Wang.

He needs to understand what the four realms are really like.

The disinfection department and the disinfection bureau are not in the same building. The disinfection bureau is located in the sanitation department, but the disinfection department is quite special, as it is combined with the public security department.

Five organizational structures, which can be switched at will.

Compared to the Disinfection Bureau, the Disinfection Department is in charge of overall management. Director Wang is not only the director of the Disinfection Department, but also the director of the Public Security Department.

"Can we really live like this?"

Upon entering the Public Security Bureau, Li Ye met Director Wang and asked in surprise, "Isn't the disinfection department just the disinfection department? What's this, some kind of usurpation?"

"What you're saying is all about effectiveness, why are you distinguishing between you and me?"

Director Wang gestured for Li Ye to sit down, made him a cup of tea like a friendly old man next door, and said with a smile, "People in the data section retire at fifty, and can then go to the public security bureau to continue contributing. The section chief can even become a deputy director. With such a high salary and official position, of course they can be transferred whenever needed."

"If necessary, I can be part of the military or the security bureau; we'll be there wherever there's a need."

"To be precise, before I was the director of the Disinfection Department, I was the director of the Public Security Department, which was my main job."

Li Ye was taken aback. "Then I can too?"

"If you're willing to follow the rules, voluntarily hand over your spoils, obey orders from above, refrain from business, and return your fiefdom, then that's fine," Wang Ting said with a smile.

Li Ye remained silent.

He doesn't want to do this.

Should something earned through one's own ability be returned?
Are powerful people allowed to set fires, but an official like him isn't allowed to light a lamp?

Wang Ting saw through Li Ye's thoughts and smiled:
"You see, this is one of the reasons why the disinfection department was established. Martial artists are a group of unruly and difficult people, so there are special positions for special people."

"You can still get your salary and allowances, maintain the current order, deal with the demons, and have a little bit of your own small business within the permitted limits. That's all tolerable."

"But if we want to actively change our approach and go through the formal system, using our power to intimidate others, that won't work. It's against the rules, and the martial artists won't submit. Besides, we've only gotten to this point because of people like you. We have to be special. Let's seek common ground while reserving differences. As long as we can fight demons and don't cross the bottom line, we can talk about anything."

"It sounds like a product of compromise."

Li Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Why can't we just suppress them all? Like I did in Ningjiang."

"Isn't it just a change in attitudes now?"

Wang Ting laughed and said, "How you do it is up to your ability. If you do it well, it's all yours. If you don't do it well, don't blame me. Then we'll just have to find someone else."

Just like Pan Zhengyang.

If there is no progress after three years in Ningjiang and every action leads to a stalemate, it can only mean that there is a lack of capability and the only option is to be transferred back.

But the premise is that he is still a member of the disinfection department.

“The Extermination Bureau has come up with many types of organizations. Some are peaceful and only want to deal with demons, some collude to maintain order, and some, like yours, are so powerful that no one in the area dares to cause trouble.” Director Wang said, “No matter what type, as long as it’s beneficial, we can accept it, as long as it doesn’t cross the line.”

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "From your perspective, it's more like a window into the truth."

"You're right. Other departments are more formalized and crucial; they can't be so free, and they won't let people in arbitrarily. The Extermination Bureau isn't like that; otherwise, they wouldn't only look at cultivation level. Exorcism is something anyone can do, so why create a separate department like that?"

"The Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were secret service agencies in ancient times, but they were not part of the official system. This way, if something went wrong, it could be contained within a certain range and rectified in a very short time, preventing a major disaster."

"Great powers act like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, where each is intertwined with the other, unlike small countries which are more straightforward. Solving problems by killing is one way, but seeking compromise within and outside the established order is another. Only by combining multiple approaches can the path become wider."

Wang Ting said with a smile, "Just be yourself and don't think too much. At your age, you should be making progress in your martial arts. Thinking too much will only make you less pure. You didn't come here today to ask me this question, did you? You've been the director for so long, you should have some insights of your own."

Li Ye nodded thoughtfully and said, "I've come to see the strength of the Four Realms Divine Illumination and learn from it."

Wang Ting was taken aback. "You're only at the second realm, and you want to assess the strength of the fourth realm? That's too early. Don't casually challenge those beyond your realm. The higher the level, the less likely you are to do that."

"Don't worry too much about Tian Zhixing's matter. Although that old guy is jealous, he keeps his word. Even if he finds you, he won't take action in reality. You should enter the third realm as soon as possible. We'll figure out a way to deal with the seed."

The more he talked, the more he noticed that Li Ye's expression was strange and his appearance was very odd. He was stunned and stared at him for a long time. Suddenly, a thunderbolt flashed through his mind.

He paused, his lips moving for a long time before he asked uncertainly, "It's broken?"

Li Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Director Pan was not capable enough; he didn't realize it and had no intention of saying anything.

But if Director Wang could see through it, he would naturally accept it.

The other party treated him well too.

"you"

Wang Ting stood up abruptly, staring at Li Ye in disbelief. "Six passes broken through, directly entering the Kaiyuan realm, reaching the Tianyuan rank?"

"It was just broken recently."

Li Ye stretched out his hand, condensed the empty true essence in his palm, forming a wisp of air, and said, "But there's nothing inside. My body is empty right now."

"I don't know what the Heavenly Origin Seed is yet, but there's no reason why someone would give it to me so easily. Cultivation isn't that simple, is it? Top-tier martial arts require certain conditions. Besides, I can't just get the seed and expect to be safe. Does that mean I can just avoid entering the Primordial Demon Realm in the future?"

"Just in case, I still have to kill Tian Zhixing. He must die. I don't have the habit of leaving my life to other people's decisions."

I'll protect you!

Upon hearing this, Wang Ting said in a deep voice, "I told you, I will definitely protect you. If it really comes to that, your grandpa Wang will fight Old Tian to the death, but I won't stop you from achieving enlightenment. But before that, don't rush. Get into university first. Go to Beijing first, and leave the rest to me!"

"Grandpa Wang"

Li Ye patted the sword at his waist. "We're just sparring, to let me see the true strength of the fourth realm. If I'm really no match for you, at least I can give up, right?"

There's a fourth-level martial artist watching us from above; we definitely have to deal with him.

But he needs to have a clear idea of ​​how much pollution he needs to absorb.

No matter what, that old man is definitely going to die.

His sword was not without its weaknesses!
