Chapter 251 - Surveillance Bureau

When it saw Li Huowang bringing out the torture tools once more, Han Fu’s Nascent Soul was beyond terrified.

“Wait! Stop, stop, stop, stop!” The little head did its best to tilt back from fear while trying to distract Li Huowang. “I really don’t know much about the Sitting Oblivion Dao! If you want to fight against them, then go and find the Surveillance Bureau! They know a lot about them!”

“Surveillance Bureau?” Li Huowang lowered the tools and thought about it. “Weren’t they employed by the Emperor to deal with evil beings? They know a lot about the Sitting Oblivion Dao?”

The Nascent Soul nodded its head. “Yeah! They are sworn enemies! The Surveillance Bureau captures and kills any members of the Sitting Oblivion Dao! This is even more so the case since two hundred years ago when the Emperor of Dongxia was switched with someone from the Sitting Oblivion Dao. After that, he then led the entire nation to its ruin. Since then, the Surveillance Bureau has placed the Sitting Oblivion Dao very high on their list! Also, when it comes to the Sitting Oblivion Dao, they would be happy to share any and all information without holding back. Qing Qiu, Liang Kingdom, the kingdom of Si Qi, and Hou Shu are all in cahoots with the Surveillance Bureau. They surely know something about the Sitting Oblivion Dao.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Li Huowang sat on the stool and pondered about it. N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Since Bei Feng is one of the Four Joys of the Sitting Oblivion Dao and both parties are sworn enemies that have been fighting for years, the Surveillance Bureau must have information on Bei Feng! Maybe I really could find details about Bei Feng through the Surveillance Bureau.

Li Huowang was not desperate enough to directly search for Bei Feng and try to force him to spill out the secrets about getting rid of the confusion and sense of doubt of a Strayed One. Instead, he first needed to confirm whether or not Bei Feng really was a Strayed One that had gotten rid of the sense of confusion and doubt that Strayed Ones normally suffer from.

Even though he wanted it to be the truth, he would never forget that it was another member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao who had told him about that.

Thus, before acting he had to first confirm the truth, or this time, he might end up being tricked by a dead member of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.

Only after confirming that Bei Feng was indeed a Strayed One and had gotten rid of the confusion and sense of doubt that Strayed Ones suffer from would he decide his next course of action.

“Surveillance Bureau...” Li Huowang mumbled before once again focusing on the Nascent Soul in front of him. “Tell me everything about the Surveillance Bureau. The more you tell me, the less pain you will have to feel.”

To the Surveillance Bureau, all they needed to do was to keep tabs on and employ some of the lone cultivators as freelancers. Then, as long as they got their job done, they would get their payment even without needing to meet up.

“The Surveillance Bureau's major enemies are sects like the Sitting Oblivion Dao or extremely dangerous Evil Beings. But their most important mission involves dealing with the Natural Disasters,” continued the Nascent Soul.

“Wait, did you just say Natural Disasters?”

Li Huowang perked up. He knew that at least two Natural Disasters had occurred before. One was the disappearance of ‘Decay’ while the other was the disappearance of ‘Lies’ that Han Fu told him about.

The one in charge of handling the Natural Disasters was the Surveillance Bureau!

Li Huowang slapped his head for being so slow. The characters for the word Surveillance Bureau were already hinting that they dealt with Natural Disasters[1]. To think he couldn’t unravel the connection between the two even though it was so simple.

“Since the Surveillance Bureau deals with Natural Disasters, how do they resolve them?” Li Huowang asked the Nascent Soul. He was quite curious about this crazy world.

“I don’t know! I’m not from the Surveillance Bureau! I’m not lying!”

In the first place, Li Huowang hadn’t expected it to know and was already satisfied that it had known so much.

“Daoist Li, is Han Fu’s Seven Star Sword with you?” asked the Nascent Soul.

This attracted Li Huowang’s attention. “Seven Star Sword? You mean the bronze coin sword?”

“Yes! Let me tell you how good it is! The Seven Star Sword was forged by our Master using 184 pieces of bronze coin during the Wu Hour of the Fifth Day of the Fifth Month of the Shen Year; that coincides with not only the Eight Solar Terms, but also with one of the Three Festivals! It could easily get rid of the evil energy from Er Hei and Wu Huang; this makes it very effective at dealing with evil beings!”

1. The name of the Surveillance Bureau in Chinese is 监天司, with 监 meaning to watch, inspect, or supervise; 天 meaning skies or heavens; and 司 meaning department, bureau ?
