Chapter 100 The Situation

Deputy Bureau Chief Cao didn't mince words, saying, "Everyone, Yanjiang County needs each of your locations to send three teams of paranormal special forces for support. Among them, experts in the Jushen (Gathering Spirit) and Guiyuan (Returning to Origin) realms must number no fewer than two. As for experts in the Ningyuan (Solidifying Origin) realm, we'll need Director Tie to help us arrange that."

Deputy Bureau Chief Cao stated his request.

The crowd stirred upon hearing this.

Clearly, Deputy Bureau Chief Cao's demands weren't low.

"Deputy Bureau Chief Cao, isn't your request for three paranormal teams too much? And requiring at least two experts in the Jushen and Guiyuan realms? That's practically emptying our ranks! What if evil spirits take advantage of our weakened defenses?"

"I think Deputy Bureau Chief Cao's request is reasonable. We're facing a major enemy; we should all confront it together."

"Old Freak Wu, of course you'd say that. Huicheng is right behind Jiangcheng. If Jiangcheng falls, Huicheng won't have a good time either."

Someone quickly retorted to Old Freak Wu.

Old Freak Wu wasn't angry, though. He said, "Everyone, no matter what you say, whether you think I'm doing this for myself or not, I have no objections to Deputy Bureau Chief Cao's request."

Old Freak Wu expressed his support.

At this moment, Deputy Bureau Chief Liu of Yuncheng also stood up and said, "Yuncheng and Jiangcheng are sister cities, and we're willing to support them. We're willing to send four teams of paranormal special forces, with no fewer than two Jushen realm experts and no fewer than three Guiyuan realm experts."

Liu's words caused an uproar.

No one expected Yuncheng to be so generous.

"Deputy Bureau Chief Liu, Yuncheng is a big, wealthy city. You have people, money, everything! We can't compare to you. Lincheng is dirt poor."

An old man said at this time.

Deputy Bureau Chief Liu smiled and said, "What you do is your business. Yuncheng only cares about doing its own thing."

Everyone spoke in succession.

No unified front was achieved.

"In that case, why don't Yuncheng contribute a little more, and Lincheng contribute a little less? That would be more reasonable."

The old man continued.

Yuan Munye and the others had no right to speak at this kind of meeting; they could only sit on the sidelines and watch.

"Everyone, stop arguing."

Tie Yuan said at this moment.

His words carried decisive weight; no one dared to say more.

The atmosphere of the meeting fell silent again.

Suddenly, no one spoke.

At this point, everyone was thinking of protecting themselves, and no one stood up for the greater good.

No wonder the situation with the evil spirits hadn't improved.

But it was understandable; everyone wanted to protect themselves.

From today's meeting, Yuan Munye could roughly tell that even in the entire province, experts in the Ningyuan realm were still not that numerous.

After a while, Tie Yuan said, "The meeting for this morning is adjourned. We'll continue in the afternoon."

After a round of arguing, they hadn't come to any conclusions.

Today's meeting ended there.

Yuan Munye and Chief Chen walked out.

Outside, Yuan Munye saw Liang Senyu.

The three headed toward the cafeteria to get some food.

Liang Senyu smiled and walked over to Yuan Munye, but seeing Chief Chen's solemn expression, he didn't know if things were good or bad.

So he didn't ask too much.

After eating, Chief Chen said to Yuan Munye, "Munye, what do you think of what happened today?"

"I don't think much of it. Everyone is trying to protect themselves. But Chief, is the situation in Yanjiang County really that bad?"

"Yes, worse than we imagined. To tell you the truth, recruiting team members wasn't just for your Seventh Paranormal Team. The construction outside is also a defensive measure, a preparation for the possibility of Yanjiang County being breached."

Chief Chen hesitated, but still told Yuan Munye the truth.

Yuan Munye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions upon hearing this.

This matter was no small thing; it was not a joke.

"Yes, I understand, Chief."

Yuan Munye's mood became somewhat somber, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Munye, your strength is outstanding. You'll likely be sent to Yanjiang County this time. You need to be prepared."

Yuan Munye responded faintly, "Chief, it's my duty. I should be."

Yuan Munye didn't say much more.

After a brief conversation, the afternoon meeting soon began.

This time, Yuan Munye was thrust into the spotlight.

When everyone learned that Yuan Munye, a deputy director, had actually reached the early Ningyuan realm, they were shocked and surprised.

"Since you already have one expert in the Ningyuan realm, plus your two bureau chiefs, that's a total of three. You can completely handle the current situation."

Someone said.

"That's not enough. Jiangcheng needs someone to guard it as well. Otherwise, if everyone leaves, Jiangcheng will be in danger too."

Deputy Bureau Chief Cao reluctantly explained.

Everyone thought that Deputy Bureau Chief Cao made sense.

But they still didn't intend to send an expert in the Ningyuan realm to support Jiangcheng.

In the end, Yuncheng and Huicheng stated that they were willing to send one expert in the Ningyuan realm to provide support.

Only then did the matter subside.

The meeting also came to an end.

Just as Yuan Munye was about to leave, someone stopped him. It was none other than Deng Tianlun.

Yuan Munye's expression turned slightly displeased when he saw this person. "What do you want?"

Chief Chen also said, "Director Deng, is there something you need?"

Director Deng had a playful smile on his face as he said, "It's like this. My uncle wants to meet him."

"Deputy Director Yuan, you're not afraid, are you?"

Deng taunted Yuan Munye at this point. Yuan Munye said, "What do I have to be afraid of? Where's your uncle? Just take me there."

"Wait, Munye, I'll have Deputy Bureau Chief Cao go with you."

"No need. Just help me watch over Xiaoyu."

Yuan Munye didn't say anything unnecessary.

In fact, even if Yuan Munye faced an expert at the peak of the Ningyuan realm, he was confident that he could escape.

After all, his Lingbo Weibu (Micro-step of the Water Strider) wasn't just for show.

Deng Tianlun, seeing Yuan Munye so tough, said, "When you see my uncle later, I hope you can still smile."

Yuan Munye smiled and said, "Just watch from the sidelines."

Yuan Munye didn't take Deng Tianlun seriously at all. Deng Tianlun, because his uncle was an expert at the peak of the Ningyuan realm, had never been treated with such contempt.

Looking at Yuan Munye's back, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred…
