Chapter 754 - 476: Cultural Hub Hutou, Ancestral Land of the Celestial Venerable and Sanctuary
As Wang Zhifan stepped into the Wind Snow Tower’s second-floor living room doorway, the chief manager, Mr. He, immediately reported the latest situation to him. The anxious look on the elderly man’s face revealed his concern for the future development of Wind Snow Tower.
"Sect Leader! During the two days you were absent, a group of people believing in the Celestial appeared in town!
These people have somehow used Demon Technique to conduct a ceremony called the Holy Tower’s Arrival! The town is in an uproar!
In my opinion, we must expel this unknown force quickly! Otherwise, Tiger Head Town may change hands!"
Despite his age, Mr. He, who possesses significant cultivation skills, spoke loudly and urgently expressed his suggestion.
Mr. Wu, who stood a little farther back, furrowed his brow upon hearing this.
As a shallow devotee of the Celestial himself, he naturally opposed the expulsion of Celestial believers by Wind Snow Tower, as it would severely impact his participation in the next Holy Tower ceremony.
Thus, he hurriedly stepped forward to speak to Wang Zhifan:
"Sect Leader! I think otherwise..."
However, sandwiched between the two, Wang Zhifan appeared calm and unperturbed. He waved his hand to stop Mr. Wu before he finished speaking and said:
"Mr. Wu, Mr. He, both of you needn’t say more! I returned this time precisely to address the appearance of the Celestial Venerable Holy Tower event last night! I have already decided how to handle this matter!"
"So, the Sect Leader is fully aware, that is good... that is good..."
Upon hearing Wang Zhifan say this, Mr. He felt a weight lift from his heart. His primary concern was that this Sect Leader, fond of shirking duties, might be oblivious, potentially plunging the recently reshuffled Wind Snow Tower into an avoidable crisis.
Next to him, Mr. Wu and Yang Qingqing felt a bit tense and remained silent.
They couldn’t discern Wang Zhifan’s sudden visit intentions. If Wang Zhifan indeed announced measures against Celestial believers, as shallow devotees, they’d be in a tough spot.
In the living room, Wang Zhifan did not immediately declare his response strategy but instead leisurely sat down on the high-backed chair and gestured for the other three leaders to also take their seats, emphasizing a sense of ceremony.
"Why are you all standing dumbly? Sit down! No big deal, each one of you is so jumpy..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. He, Mr. Wu, and Yang Qingqing quickly found wooden chairs to sit down, understanding this powerful Sect Leader was about to issue directives, focusing intently.
"Ahem, ahem..."
As expected, Wang Zhifan, sitting grandly in the high-backed chair, saw his three subordinates assume a stern and upright posture, he swiftly entered the mode himself.
He cleared his throat twice, imitating the tone of an official, and began to expound his policy:
"Comrades, regarding the event of the Celestial Venerable Holy Tower’s arrival the night before, I believe we must not view it with a narrow mindset, hastily distinguishing whether Celestial believers are enemies or allies. Instead, we should evaluate from a higher perspective, considering it from a developmental, dynamic view...
The Celestial Venerable Holy Tower’s arrival in our Tiger Head Town, though it may bring unfavorable factors, also harbors positive aspects that should be recognized... A foolish person sees only one side of things, but we must view the whole picture...
In my opinion, the Holy Tower’s arrival is a favorable opportunity for our Tiger Head Town and Wind Snow Tower’s development!
Consider why the Celestial Venerable Holy Tower did not descend upon other larger towns, nor some secluded wilderness, but chose our Tiger Head Town under Wind Snow Tower’s jurisdiction? Presented directly before many citizens?
It must be because our Tiger Head Town is unique, possessing special potential!
I went to considerable lengths to consult a wise sage for a divination. The sage told me, the Holy Tower’s arrival in our Tiger Head Town is due to some connection between Tiger Head Town and the Celestial’s incarnation — this being the initial place of the incarnation’s arrival! Thus, chosen for its extraordinary significance!
Therefore, I’ve decided to initiate a plan, leveraging this opportunity to develop our Tiger Head Town, and amplify Wind Snow Tower’s influence!
The plan can be summarized with an eight-word motto: Cultural Tiger Head, Celestial’s Ancestral Place!
You may use these eight words as a future promotional slogan, ensuring people from the nearby regions and further afar know the special nature of Tiger Head Town, generating a basic impression! As more learn of this, people will naturally visit Tiger Head Town!
Do not underestimate the effect of enhancing reputation!
It is well known that all development must be human-centered; without people, nothing can be accomplished!
For a long time, our Tiger Head Town’s slow development was due to insufficient population, resulting in Wind Snow Tower barely collecting a few taels in taxes, unable to upgrade armaments.
Moreover, if Wind Snow Tower aims to expand its influence further, it must similarly attract more people to its jurisdiction to uncover more young talents, progressively remedying the Tower’s talent shortage..."
Throughout this speech, Wang Zhifan was indeed as eloquent as a river flooding, approaching one-tenth of the prowess of officials he once saw online, leaving his three sect subordinates bewildered.
They listened until their heads felt swollen and found themselves grasping very little, remembering only the eight-word motto Wang Zhifan proposed: Cultural Tiger Head, Celestial’s Ancestral Place!
At last, once Wang Zhifan finished speaking, he scanned his gaze enthusiastically at the three subordinates, their expressions hard to decipher, with the older Mr. He already in a daze.
