I Have a Compass for Opportunity

The issue that troubled Liou Yuan for so long was resolved by Mr. Tang in just a few words.

"That’s a big help, Mr. Tang." Liou Yuan repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

He promptly reported Gong Linqing’s name and current location to Mr. Tang, who carefully noted it down with brush and ink.

Given he already sought Mr. Tang’s help, Liou Yuan didn’t hold back and inquired about how to process the Identity Token for the Spirit Beast.

Bai Ling’s entry into Five Extremes Mountain was entirely due to Liou Yuan’s current fame, backed by his Foundation Establishment brother Liou Zhen, which deterred the mountain patrol disciples from blocking him too much.

Yet Bai Ling’s identity was not considered legitimate; a Spirit Beast Token was still required, making it indisputable.

Mr. Tang waved his hand grandly again, saying it was simple and could leave it to him.

The Spirit Beast Token would be delivered to his cave dwelling together with his Wind Chasing Division waist badge at that time.

For the first time, Liou Yuan felt the appeal of power.

Mr. Tang was merely a regular disciple of the Wind Chasing Division, and Liou Yuan couldn’t fathom the extent of power held by the deputy Hall Master of the Disciplinary Hall and other division captains.

Liou Yuan couldn’t take advantage of Mr. Tang without reciprocating, so he quickly proposed inviting him to drinks.

Mr. Tang replied with a smile: "Let’s skip the drinks; during missions, we’ll support each other. Staying alive is what matters."

Mr. Tang revealed the underlying intent.

His solicitous care for Liou Yuan was surely because of Liou Yuan’s prowess.

Given the dangerous nature of tasks in the Wind Chasing Division, it was only natural to stay close to Liou Yuan for extra security during future missions.

Liou Yuan instantly understood Mr. Tang’s thoughts and nodded in agreement with a smile.

Mr. Tang then began explaining the responsibilities of Wind Chasing Division disciples to Liou Yuan.

Having the identity of a Wind Chasing Division disciple means that while enjoying the privileges of the position, they must also bear more responsibilities than average disciples.

"Disciples from other departments only need to complete two capture tasks each year, but us, Wind Chasing Division disciples, have five."

"On average, every two months requires capturing a villain and bringing them to justice, leaving no room for relaxation. That’s why you can’t see any idle people in our Wind Chasing Division; they’re all out there."

"Moreover, if anything major happens, during the Wind Chasing Division’s unified dispatch, regardless of where one is, one must respond immediately. Failure to do so results in severe penalties."

"Our Wind Chasing Division is tough and suffers the most casualties among the departments."

After talking about responsibilities, Mr. Tang spoke of power.

"Wind Chasing Division disciples don’t only have privileges within the Five Extremes Mountain; even outside, whether in Jin Dynasty or Jiuli State, the waist badge of Wind Chasing Division disciples allows them to mobilize stationed local disciples."

"If they don’t respond or act sluggishly, they can be reported, and the Disciplinary Hall will handle them."

The privilege Mr. Tang spoke of was already experienced by Liou Yuan when he received Lao Xiuyuan’s Token.

At that time, Liou Yuan merely showed the waist badge, and the hidden posts and disciples of Five Extremes Mountain across several cities followed his orders.

Liou Yuan exclaimed with a click of his tongue: "Wow, the Wind Chasing Division is truly an extraordinary department within the Five Extremes Mountain."

Having this power undoubtedly offers numerous conveniences for oneself when operating in the outside world in the future.

Moreover, if a Wind Chasing Division disciple commits an offense, members from other departments aren’t qualified to intervene.

The judgment is all handled internally within Wind Chasing Division, meaning even if a Wind Chasing Division disciple kills a peer in the Five Extremes Mountain, other departments can’t manage it—only Wind Chasing Division deals with it internally.

If Wind Chasing Division declares no wrongdoing, people from other departments can only watch helplessly.

Mr. Tang reminded Liou Yuan of many things, which Liou Yuan listened to attentively.

Unnoticed, most of the day had passed.

To continue chatting would take three days and nights without finishing.

Liou Yuan intended to return to seclusion to break through to the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, and could only say goodbye to Mr. Tang, unsatisfied.

Before departure, Mr. Tang reminded Liou Yuan: "You’re not yet officially a Wind Chasing Division disciple until the day your waist badge arrives. Then you’ll be officially registered as a Wind Chasing Division member."

"From then on, your five annual capture missions will begin to be counted."

"Also, we have five Law Enforcement Team captains; I don’t know which team you’ll be assigned to. Once your Identity Token is issued, you must report to the captain."

"During division-wide dispatches, the captain usually leads the team. Don’t let the relationship become too strained."

Upon saying this, Mr. Tang’s gaze carried a profound meaning.

Liou Yuan, being a shrewd individual, naturally understood his meaning.

The captains have the authority to assign team tasks, and if one offends a captain, devastating consequences may follow for task arrangements.

Liou Yuan carefully noted Mr. Tang’s words, then said farewell with cupped hands and proceeded straight to his abode.

On the way back to the cave dwelling, Liou Yuan’s mind recalled the five Law Enforcement Team captains mentioned by Mr. Tang.

With five peaks in the Outer Sect, naturally, there would be five Law Enforcement Team captains.

They are all outstanding among Outer Sect disciples, all without exception at the pinnacle of the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer.

Their names are well-known among Outer Sect disciples, all being among the top ten strong individuals of the Outer Sect like Lao Xiuyuan.

"Every disciple of the Wind Chasing Division is unruly; for someone to serve as a captain of the Wind Chasing Division, their strength must be formidable to keep subordinates in check."

Liou Yuan pondered aloud.

His current strength, without relying on external aids, in a face-off, may not lose to those Outer Sect top ten strong individuals.

With the addition of his two talents and equipped Magical Treasure, the entire Outer Sect would struggle to find two who could match him in combat.
