Chapter 303: Chapter 214: How did his cultivation improve so quickly?
August 8th.
Noon.
Kyoto.
A figure zood through the sky, Wang Hou descended from the heavens and landed inside the headquarters of the Spirits Managent Bureau.
“Minister Wang!”
A beautiful figure rushed over, holding a stack of information in her hands, she reported, “The Yunnan branch has just reported that traces of a large demon have been discovered in a forest park in Yunnan province. The branch tried to capture it, but unfortunately failed.”
This was Wang Hou’s female secretary.
She handed over several photos.
Wang Hou took them and saw a massive demon serpent on the photos. The snake had fine white scales on its body and wore black patterns on its body, most notably…
The demon snake had three heads!
“The transformation of this demon snake is recent. It’s suspected to have devoured so sort of treasure. It has retreated into the prival forest, its power is trendous, on par with the Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, and is rapidly increasing,” said the secretary.
One by one, she reported the “strange incidents” that had been happening around the country in recent days.
The situation in Da Xia was indeed better than outside its borders, largely due to the efforts of the Spirits Managent Bureau, but credit should also be given to the Daoist clans, who would surely handle any strange events that occurred on their territories.
Even so, Minister Wang still felt overwheld and busy.
He was formidable. In this era where the “immortals” no longer showed themselves, he was considered unrivaled among humans. But without the ability to split his body, he could only rub his temples and say, “Let the brothers in each provincial branch work harder. Also, allocate so more funds to each province to hire more people.”
The secretary hesitated, “Minister Wang, many people in the martial world are resistant to our Spirits Managent Bureau. It won’t be easy to recruit.”
Wang Hou chuckled, “They’re just old conservatives. Don’t worry, the one thing Da Xia isn’t lacking is people… Now that the country has announced the existence of Daoist skills and martial arts, there’s no need for secrecy in our recruitnt. Just publicize it widely, get all the news dia to cooperate, and recruit from the public.”
The secretary’s eyes lit up.
Da Xia was vast and had a long history. Throughout this history, many sects and strong individuals were born, but as ti passed, these sects and families fell into decline and their Daoist arts scattered among the public. Such situations were all too common.
Da Xia was known for its hidden talents, and this was no exaggeration.
Who knew if a seemingly normal farr had ancestors who were noblen or martial arts experts. A seemingly ordinary person might be a reclusive master
Wang Hou also said, “In addition to this, the construction of the Martial Arts Academy must be stepped up. Have the education departnt and other departnts put in so effort, and try to open up properly by September’s school season.”
The secretary took the order and hurriedly went to handle it.
At this point, Wang Hou had returned to his office.
As the secretary left, another tall woman ca in.
The forr was a secretary, this one was an assistant.
“You arrived just in ti. Help set up a ti for a video conference. Within half a year, I plan to attack the Asura Sect headquarters. I hope the military departnt can offer so support at that ti.”
The female assistant asked, “Minister Wang, attacking the Asura Sect is a major event. Should we contact the major clans and noble families and ask them to send assistants?”
“No need.”
Wang Hou waved his hand, “Let’s keep this quiet for now.”
The female assistant understood and quickly left the office.
Soon, Wang Hou received a call from the military departnt.
On the other end of the call, a hearty laugh ca, “Minister Wang, have you found the location of the Asura Sect’s headquarters? When do we start?”
“Although I haven’t found the exact location, soone else does.”
Wang Hou teased, chuckling, “The person is currently making a breakthrough. I estimate it should be around a year and a half from now. When the ti cos, I hope General Ye can provide so fire support.”
“Rest assured!”
General Ye on the other side of the phone laughed, “I’ve long wanted to annihilate those Asura Sect rascals. When the ti cos, just give a location, our intercontinental missiles will guarantee a precise blow to the Asura Sect’s gate.”
After chatting for a bit, Wang Hou hung up the phone.
He flew out of the martial arts bureau and headed south, eventually landing at the foot of an unnad small mountain.
Below the mountain was a lake, and beside the lake was a pavilion, where he sat, staring blankly at the lake surface for a while…
anwhile,
At the bottom of the lake, a white snake was quietly looking at the water’s surface.
It had beco accustod to all of this. In recent years, whenever Wang Hou had so free ti, he always ca to sit here… But because of their past differences and both of them being stubborn, neither had spoken to the other in all these years.
Man by the lake.
Snake at the bottom of the lake.
They sat in silence…
Usually, Wang Hou would sit for about an hour before leaving in a hurry.
The white snake was used to this and didn’t bla Wang Hou. It even blad itself for being a demon, a snake, and for not telling Wang Hou about its identity from the start, instead revealing its true form under those circumstances.
But soon…
The white snake realized sothing was different.
Because Wang Hou rose from the pavilion and walked to the lakeshore.
He reached out his hand to stroke the calm lake surface, his eyes seed to seep through the water as he softly said, “Xiao Bai… I’m sorry.”
