Supervision Bureau

Biodata

Mandate and Regulations

• The Bureau is officially responsible for managing cultivators and handling Evil Spirit incidents following the spiritual energy cataclysm. 2
• Its case load includes strange incidents, criminal cultivators, demons, Evil Spirits, black markets, illegal sect activity, and inter-city threats. Limited personnel force it to prioritize urgent cases. 61 93 225
• Civilian organizations seeking to formally handle Evil Spirit events must field at least two cultivators at once; Yue Wen's initial business-license application was rejected because he operated alone. 2
• Large sect movements require either local reporting and supervision or formal registration, allowing the Bureau to monitor potential unrest. 332
• During major Demon Race incidents, the Bureau can activate a city-protecting grand formation and lock down an entire city to prevent passage. 73

Demon and Evil Spirit Policy

• Peaceful demons living covertly in human cities are generally repatriated to the Demon Realm rather than executed. 61
• Demonic entities, Nightmare Objects, and other dangerous beings are targeted for elimination. 61
• The Bureau may cooperate with certain Evil Spirits to resolve strange cases. Exceptionally powerful Evil Spirits can make peace agreements if they remain disguised as humans, obey the law, and accept regular monitoring. 61

Organization

• In the Bureau's structure, a Director manages administrative affairs while a Deputy Director serves as its principal combat authority. 65
• Field personnel include investigators and captains. Captains are battle-hardened cultivators and carry exclusive badges marked by five fingers, a four-clawed dragon hand, and a sword—representing the Five Great Immortal Sects, Four Seas Dragon Palace, and Supervision Bureau respectively. 157 168
• The Bureau operates city and satellite-city branches, including the City Seven branch. Its former City Seven chief built an extravagantly lavish headquarters, prompting a headquarters corruption investigation that removed multiple officials. 100
• The City Seven branch maintains a heavily protected Supernatural Power Library, whose formation spirit, “Classmate Xiao Ku,” scans a cultivator's existing system and matches them with suitable Supernatural Powers through authorized cards. 218

Facilities and Resources

• Demon Locking Secret Realm — Each city’s Bureau maintains a secret realm containing captured fierce demonic beasts. Personnel and approved allies fight through its sealed areas to gain combat experience, cultivate through repeated exertion, and earn Demon Suppressing Coins. 159 217
  • Opening the realm consumes substantial resources, so multiple trainees are often admitted together. 267
• Supernatural Power Library — A secured repository that distributes personalized Supernatural Powers, including the Juque Sword Art, Eagle Eye Cicada Catching Art, and Heavenly Water Birth Art. 218
• Official procurement channels — The Bureau can rapidly obtain cultivation materials with reliable price and quality, unlike unregulated civilian markets. 196
• Containment and transport assets — Investigators use formations, armored prisoner transports, aura-detection artifacts, and city-scale protective formations during investigations and arrests. 22 76 249

Key Personnel and Associates

• True Person Guang — A high-ranking Bureau official and deputy director of the Seventh Satellite City branch. She attempted to recruit Yue Wen, offering access to classified information on his parents’ disappearance; she later warned him of an imminent assassination attempt. 2 352
• True Person Ming Guang — Oversees major City Seven operations, accepted Yue Wen’s handover of the Fox Demon Secret Realm, and supervised Demon Locking Secret Realm training. 238 267
• True Person Qu Guang — A Dao Realm Bureau cultivator who arranged rewards and cultivation resources for Yue Wen’s group and participated in operations against Flame Ghost Hall. 196 217 248
• Wang Shoucai — Bureau captain who repeatedly sought to recruit Yue Wen, coordinated the Flame Ghost Hall undercover operation, and served as the Firm’s principal Bureau liaison. 22 102 158
• Fang Qingcang — A serious, combat-oriented captain involved in the Pudu Research Institute case and later black-market raids. 98 225
• Lan Zhi — A captain and disciple of True Person Qu Guang. She participated in the Flame Ghost Hall operation and later adopted aggressive ambush tactics inspired by Yue Wen’s methods. 158 186 225
• Yue Wen and Yue’s Cultivation Firm — Initially independent of the Bureau, Yue Wen became a trusted outside collaborator and undercover operative. His work against Flame Ghost Hall earned him exceptional prestige among City Seven personnel. 2 162 186 218

Story Role and Major Operations

Operational Reputation

• The Bureau is respected as a legitimate authority but is strained by its enormous jurisdiction, overtime demands, and the sheer number of cultivators and supernatural incidents it must manage. 61
• Its cooperation with Yue Wen substantially improved the City Seven branch’s results against major evil-cultivator organizations, increasing anticipated year-end rewards across the branch. 218
• After participating in Yue Wen’s undercover operations, several investigators began adopting his poison-based and deceptive tactics. Fang Qingcang found the Bureau’s increasingly ruthless methods unsettling despite their effectiveness. 186 225
• Yue Wen’s success against Flame Ghost Hall elevated his standing so greatly that City Seven personnel commonly addressed him as “Director Yue,” despite his remaining an external collaborator rather than a formal Bureau investigator. 218
