Chapter 1269: Chapter 521: Renewable Secret Realm! Filling Vacancies in the Qintian Monitor!
"At the same time, it only spat out a few things. Based on our experience, this is a sign of a large-scale Secret Realm emerging, so we just kept waiting and didn’t pay it much mind. At most, we’d inspect the items that dropped from the spatial entrance of the Secret Realm, only to find they were mostly useless rocks.
"But who knows what’s going on this year. Since April or May, the space here has become extremely unstable.
"The Qintian Monitor didn’t want to keep a constant eye on it either. But a few days ago, when I came back from Dianzang, I received a notice that an Emperor Level Steel Stone King actually escaped from inside! Now we have no choice but to monitor it..."
Meng Yao asked again, "Since it’s so dangerous, did you apply for backup?"
Huang Tianbing sighed helplessly. "I did, but neither the Association nor the Legion gave a concrete reply."
Speaking of this, Huang Tianbing gnashed his teeth in anger. "Those bastards. Before, when they came to my place to scrounge for resources, they were more than happy. But now that it involves this kind of danger, none of them are willing to let their subordinates take the risk.
"Back when we were pacifying things, everyone wanted to cram their people in here. Now that times have changed, every single one of those motherfuckers treats my place like the plague."
Su Ping frowned slightly. He had seen Huang Tianbing’s busy schedule with his own eyes recently.
Presently, it was unknown how many members the Qintian Monitor had lost, but just looking at this Chief Supervisor, who had even lost an arm, one could guess a thing or two. Then there were the Zhang Family Brothers, who were previously on record as rogue cultivators, yet had been forcibly recruited. One could imagine how desperately understaffed they were.
Su Ping directly asked, "Didn’t you tell the Holy Dragon about this?"
But he quickly caught himself and added, "Pretend I didn’t say that."
He was being a bit out of touch with reality. The Dragon Nation was so huge; the Legend of the Holy Dragon couldn’t possibly handle every single little thing personally. Moreover, not everyone was like him, able to meet, contact, or even offer suggestions to that figure anytime, anywhere.
Meeting everyone’s weird gazes, he felt a bit helpless. Fortunately, Zhu Hong nodded. "The Secret Realms have indeed been appearing too frequently in the past two years, and they are unusually dangerous. Huang’s job is indeed not easy. We really need to think of a way."
Hearing this, Huang Tianbing’s eyes turned red. Who knew his hardships and bitterness?
During this period, the number of Qintian Monitor members who had sacrificed their lives was more than the past ten or twenty years combined. However, because the Qintian Monitor used to be a lucrative department that gathered resources and inheritances from Secret Realms, it was indeed a cushy job, but it had also offended too many people and made too many jealous.
Now, who knew what was wrong with the world. Before, not many wild Secret Realms would appear in a year, but now they were springing up like mushrooms after a rain in an endless stream. And countless among them were highly dangerous.
Some people were just waiting to kick them while they were down and watch the show. It was a good thing things were relatively stable internally. If those people sent more individuals over to interfere, it would probably make matters worse. If some earth-shattering event happened that affected the peace and quiet of ordinary citizens, the one taking the blame would still be him, a Chief Supervisor who was already everyone’s target.
Su Ping thought for a moment. "Forget it, I’ll make a call and mention it. Setting everything else aside, even if there’s no Spirit Saint Level senior taking direct charge, the local Legions should at least cooperate. If chaos breaks out, it won’t be good for anyone."
Everyone nodded. If Su Ping was willing to step forward, it would naturally be for the best. Others might not know, but Zhu Hong and Meng Yao knew the weight and influence Su Ping held with that person.
Meng Yao also glanced at the mountain peak. "Alright, then I’ll head over there first to check out the situation and see if there’s any danger left. Long’er, go check the Jiao Long’s damage level."
Once everything was arranged, Su Ping stepped aside, took out his special satellite phone, and dialed the most exclusive number saved on it.
"Hello, Su Ping? Why did you think of calling me today? Could it be that there’s progress with the Dragon Nourishing Bamboo?"
The voice on the other end sounded quite cheerful. Some time ago, although the emergence of the Dragon Nourishing Bamboo wasn’t made public, Su Ping had informed this person, prompting him to value it highly and instructing Su Ping to pay close attention to its cultivation.
Su Ping smiled slightly. "I’ve already let Little Gray and the other two try it, but we’ve only just started the breeding process. How could there be progress so quickly! It’s like this, the Qintian Monitor..."
Before he could finish, the voice on the other end interrupted him. "By the way, Su Ping, last month, I heard from Meng Yao that you all went out to sea together, right? And you came across news and the whereabouts of the Heart of Gold?"
Su Ping paused, then didn’t rush to talk about the Qintian Monitor, but instead explained the whole story. "That’s right, it’s like this... I thought Elder Meng and Senior Wu had already told you... Last time..."
At the mention of this, the Legend of the Holy Dragon’s voice turned serious.
"This intel from the outside has indeed been confirmed. A guest from across the ocean has arrived in Sakura Country.
"The Heart of Gold has indeed made some moves, and they’ve extended their reach to neighboring Japan. This is an opportunity. Even now, we still haven’t figured out the Heart of Gold’s true objective.
"So, what does that little girl from the Dong family think? If this is the case, she might need to take a business trip to Sakura Country soon?"
