Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman Chapter 217 - 217 154 Turning the Tables Two in One Asking

Chapter 217: Chapter 154: Turning the Tables (Two in One, Asking for Subscription) Chapter 217: Chapter 154: Turning the Tables (Two in One, Asking for Subscription) Sakura Capital Palace park from above.

As the Magic eting began.

Tens of drones and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft from Huaqi Country also unabashedly approached the airspace.

A cabinet minister noticed the flying objects in the sky and was about to ask what was going on.

A considerate secretary ran over to reveal the truth, stating that these were reconnaissance drones from Huaqi Country.

The cabinet minister wanted to ask why he hadn’t been notified.

Suddenly, he rembered.

The airspace above Sakura City in Sakura Country actually didn’t belong to their nation.

It was under the control of Huaqi Country, and they never needed to notify the institutions in Sakura City when using this airspace!

The cabinet minister could only curse inwardly and imdiately ordered the troops around the park to strengthen their guard.

Outside the park, officers and their soldiers set up a security line and even established sniper and heavy firepower positions.

A middle-aged officer with sowhat gray hair, having finished his duties, sat down in an armored vehicle and heard strange sounds coming from the park behind him.

He took a breath, looking in the direction of the park.

This officer was sowhat grateful to Kamo Junichiro for causing the current changes.

The troops he served in were not the elite closely watched by the bigwigs.

They were just for making up numbers.

As such, their treatnt was worriso.

Before this incident, he had been caught and suspended for reflection because he was too hungry at breakfast and took an extra piece of bread at a cafeteria where only one type of main dish was allowed.

Now, with the grand appearance of Master Onmyoji Kamo Junichiro,

Those who had been suspended for various reasons were reinstated imdiately, and their treatnt improved sowhat.

Moreover, crucially, the generals insisted that they genuinely could not afford to raise the pay for these makeshift teams.

But!

The clever Pri Minister and cabinet ministers had co up with a good solution to this issue!

With their relentless efforts, the major companies and financial syndicates had agreed in principle.

As long as these mid-level officers worked well, they could earn ratings, and with enough ratings, they could retire and join those major companies and financial syndicates in Sakura City as regular employees!

That was a place where, as long as you didn’t resign yourself, you could be set for life and even earn raises over ti!

It was also considered a way to offer these cornered officers a taphorical “big pie” and to slightly boost their morale.

“If monsters continue to appear in Sakura City or other parts of Sakura Country, perhaps our treatnt could further improve?”

“At the very least, it should be comparable to the navy, right? Otherwise, they haven’t been able to recruit enough soldiers for many years?”

The officer, daydreaming inside the vehicle, suddenly heard the command to enhance vigilance.

He hurriedly stood up to relay the orders,

when suddenly, he felt a chill up his spine.

He even heard a series of chaotic shouts from outside the vehicle.

Those were the sounds of the crowd gathered outside the security line at the park.

Although the Sakura Emperor had long ordered all citizens of Sakura Country to support the Magic eting by praying at ho at this ti,

the streets were still crowded with people from all walks of life.

Apart from curious young folks, there were mostly tourists.

However, the officers knew that all major powers had long issued a ban on tourists.

At this ti, how many of the tourists were genuine was sothing only heaven knew.

But the order from above was as long as they didn’t cross the security line.

Naturally, the officers wouldn’t bother with more.

However… what was happening now?

The middle-aged officer got out of the vehicle, turned around, and saw a green light breaking through the bushes in the park, entering the clouds, casting an eerie green tint in the already fading sky.

At the sa ti, a cold wind blew.

Whether it was an illusion or not, being blown by this cold wind not only raised goosebumps all over his body.

The officer began to feel an unprovoked anxiety and tension.

Instinctively, the officer beca sowhat concerned about the Magic eting.

He felt that this was even more sinister than the White Bone Giant from the last battle of Sakura City shown in the videos.

The middle-aged officer quickly dismissed the word “felt.”

He saw under the green light, a group of half-transparent Evil Spirits screaming erged from the clouds.

Even around the park, the entire cetery of Sakura City, various shrines, temples,

and those haunted houses or scenes of ghastly tragedies,

emitted faintly glowing white lights, which seed to be drawn toward the green light.

There were mutations near the green light, so disappearing entirely,

while others transford into new, agonizing Evil Spirits with twisted faces.

The howls of the Evil Spirits actually made no sound,

but the nearby Wisdom Creatures seed to hear their screams and the agony and unwillingness they contained.

Countless small animals, even snakes, worms, rats, and ants, began to appear and scurry away in all directions.

With Kamo Junichiro’s Netherworld Ghost Body activating the Formation’s Spiritual Energy successfully,

these creatures instinctively sensed imnse terror and fled for their lives.

This again frightened the guards around the park and the onlooking crowd.

The officers who were supposed to be outside the defense line, too, largely turned to look towards the park, even clutching their weapons tighter and disengaging their safeties.

The middle-aged officer wiped his cold sweat, continuously asking higher-ups if sothing unexpected had happened.
