Chapter 102: Return
like me to translate!"Your Majesty the Python, what is your command!""Check to see if any ancient ruins have appeared in the Forbidden Zone of Death." The Python Emperor looked at the cultivator befo..."There have indeed been demons near the well."
Shen Changqing nodded.
From the faint, eerie aura alone, one could tell there were traces of demonic presence.
That's all I have to say.
Whether the demons are still around is unknown.
It was at that moment.
Shen Changqing looked at Liu Jian: "What realm is Liu Catch now in"
Realm
Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
“As for me, I’m at the peak of my physical training, but I haven’t reached the point where true qi generates itself. I apologize for disappointing Master Shen!”
Peak physical condition!
In the martial arts world, although I am not considered a master, I am much more skilled than an ordinary person.
Being a chief officer of the police force in Jin City would be more than enough for him.
Moreover, given Liu Jian's current age, there is a high probability in the future that he can cultivate true energy spontaneously and thus advance to the Tongmai realm.
Such an achievement is actually not bad.
In days gone by.
Liu Jian would not feel inferior about his own abilities.

In front of a powerhouse like Shen Changqing, being at the peak of physical conditioning just doesn't cut it.

Shen Changqing did not show any unusual expression, and smiled faintly: "Captain Liu, you don't need to belittle yourself. In my opinion, it will be no problem for you to be promoted to Tongmai in the future."
Though many masters exist in the martial world, those who can reach the level of understanding the meridians are also quite rare.
Since Captain Liu hasn't advanced to the Meridian Opening stage yet, let him stay here for now in case there are actually demons lurking in the well. That wouldn't be good to deal with—"
Here is a statement.
Shen Changqing said it very tactfully.
On the other hand, Liu Jian also understood the meaning in their words.
It's nothing more than my own abilities being too weak. If there were really demons attacking, I would just be cannon fodder.
That's it.
He didn't feel humiliated, but instead clearly understood Shen Changqing's kindness, and a grateful expression appeared on his face.
"Sir Shen, please rest assured, I understand what to do."
"Okay."
Shen Changqing nodded, without saying much.
He looked at the well in front of him and walked over to it.
The closer, the better.
That faint, eerie aura gradually grew stronger.
By the time they reached the edge of the well, the eerie presence had intensified considerably, causing a noticeable drop in the surrounding temperature.
Just lowering the temperature wouldn't have much of an effect on Shen Changqing.
By relying solely on the surging blood and energy of his flesh, he was completely fearless of the bitter cold.
"Such a heavy atmosphere!"
Shen Changqing's expression became serious.
The air is thick with a sinister presence, it's very possible that demons still lurk within the well.
He lowered his head to look down. The well was bottomless, and a cool breath emanated from it.
For a long time.
There was no movement at all in the well.
Shen Changqing retracted his gaze from the well and left the area around the well.
How is it going
“Although the sinister aura is thick, there’s no sign of demonic presence. It’s very likely that the demons are gone. Let's head to the next location.”
Shen Changqing shook his head.

Upon hearing this.
>
Liu Jian's face visibly relaxed, but there seemed to be a hint of disappointment.
The demon has gone, who knows where it will go to harm the people next.
“There's no need to overthink it. If that demon dares to wreak havoc elsewhere, someone will naturally punish it.”
Shen Changqing comforted him with a few words.
Upon seeing this.
Liu Jian didn't think about it anymore.
>
Immediately, the two left the well's vicinity and walked towards another place.
Half a day's work.
Liu Jian, accompanied by Shen Changqing, had practically toured the entire city of Jin.
Unfortunately.
No monsters were found.
Leaving another location where the incident occurred, Liu Jian stopped.
"Master Shen, during the night, there are only a few places where demons are suspected to have killed people. The lowly official must return to the yamen to report. I don't know if Master Shen wants to return to the yamen with me, or if he has his own plans"
"Liu Capt'ain, you should go back yourself. I've been walking for so long and am a little tired. I'd better go back and rest."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Very well, then I shall take my leave!"
Liu Bu Tou bowed and left.
> On the other side.
Shen Changqing glanced at the sky and headed toward Tianyi Building.
Back to Tian Yi Building.
He had someone bring him a basin of hot water, and in an instant, the shop assistant playing the role of Heavenly Watcher declared that he wanted to see Zhongchi.
Not long after.
Zhong Chi just pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Shen."
"Master Zhong has arrived."
Upon seeing Zhongchi's arrival, Shen Changqing wrung out the towel in his hand and wiped away the watermarks on his face before discarding it into the basin.

He walked to the table and sat down.
Please note that there is no text content within the provided . I have only removed the unnecessary symbols and preserved the html tag as instructed.
He poured himself a cup of tea.
"Has the message reached the Demon Suppression Division"
"I have already sent a message, but the capital is far from Dahua Prefecture. It will take some time to arrive."
Zhong Chi was taken aback. He thought Shen Changqing had found him for a reason.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing shook his head: "I'm not talking about the Guodu Town Demon Division, but the Town Demon Division inside the Dahuang Mansion."
"The Demon Suppression Division within the Great Wilderness Prefecture!"
Zhong Chi's expression changed subtly, he didn't hesitate for too long.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“If Lord Shen were not in Jin City, the demon suppression division of Dahua Prefecture should dispatch strong individuals to come and deal with the demonic events here.”
Since Master Shen is here, unless the situation has completely spiraled out of control, it's unlikely that the Demon Suppression Division of the Great Wilderness Mansion would take any action.
To put it bluntly, the Zhen Mo Si of Da Huang Fu suffers significant annual losses. The number of powerful individuals they can deploy is extremely limited.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Quite a loss, isn't it"
Shen Changqing's face showed a look of astonishment.
How many Demon Suppression Departments are there inside the Dahuang Mansion
>The Dahua Prefecture now has a total of three Town Demon Divisions, but the strong individuals within the Town Demon Divisions are not comparable to those in the capital city.
Although the Great Desolate Prefecture is vast, true geniuses are few and far between.
Over the years, the Great Wilderness Prefecture Demon Suppression Division has always gathered talented individuals within its ranks. However, the number of people they have successfully cultivated is very small.
Throughout history, there have been numerous wars, which have severely depleted the number of personnel in the Demon Suppression Department. Even today, the combined strength of the three Demon Suppression Departments in Dahua Prefecture is not even half that of the capital city's Demon Suppression Department.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhong Chi sighed.
The Demon Suppression Office in the capital city is undoubtedly the strongest.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In comparison.
The Zhen Mo Si of the Great Wilderness Prefecture, isn't quite up to par.
But there's no other way around it.
After all, the Demon Suppression Division of the capital city is the source of all Demon Suppression Divisions in Da Qin. Many powerful figures from various Demon Suppression Divisions originated from the capital city, and their foundation is naturally incomparable to that of other places' Demon Suppression Divisions.
Besides that.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The continuous war in the Dahuang Prefecture is also a very serious problem.
That's all.
Zhong Chi paused for a moment, then continued, "Furthermore, according to the intelligence from the Tiancha Wei in Dahuangfu, the chaos that erupted wasn't limited to just Jincheng. Other cities also experienced varying degrees of demon and evil disturbance."
And as if they had made an appointment, they both broke out almost at the same time.
Some cities had weak defensive capabilities, resulting in considerable casualties.
Compared to places like Jincheng, the losses here are relatively minor.
This is a placeholder for text content. It could contain anything, but there's nothing here yet!
For this matter, the Demon Suppression Offices across Da Huang Prefecture had almost all their powerful figures dispatched to various locations to suppress demons and evils. They had no spare capacity to attend to Jin City's side.
Hearing this.
Chen Changqing now understood why the Demon Suppression Division of Dahuang Prefecture had been silent for two days.
>
Although the capital is farther away.
But the Demon Suppression Division within the Dahuang Mansion must not be too far from Jin City.
Up to this point.
As no powerful figures from the Grand Desolate Mansion's Demonic Suppression Division arrived, it was clear they had other plans.
Combining Zhong Chi's words, Shen Changqing understood that the situation in Dahuang Mansion's Demon Suppression Division was not as good as it seemed.
"Lord Zhong, are you aware of how many Town Demon Commanders currently serve in the Great Wilderness Prefecture's Suppression Department"
Guardian of the City
Only then can a demon-subduing division stand firm as a powerful force.
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Chi shook his head: "The level of the garrison commander is not something I, at my level, can understand. All I know is that there are garrison commanders in all three major demon suppression divisions, stationed in some important areas within the Dahuang Mansion."
"As for the specific number of people involved, I'm unable to provide that information."
"Thank you, Sir Zhong, for clearing my doubts."
Shen Changqing nodded, and didn't continue to ask about the Demon Suppression Division. Instead, he changed the subject.
>
"Have there been any new developments regarding the demonic occurrences in Jincheng from the Celestial Guards"
“All we know now is that there are two demonic forces in Jincheng. One comes from the Everlasting Alliance, needless to say. As for the other, we haven't been able to find out its origins yet. It will still take some time.”
Last night, Shen Da Ren fought with the demon from the Eternal Life Alliance, causing them to suffer a significant defeat.
As long as Master Shen remains in Jin City, the Eternal Alliance should not dare to cause any trouble unless they are absolutely sure of success.
Zhong Chi's calm analysis.
When speaking, he was truly impressed by Shen Changqing's abilities.
It's not something that anyone can do to deter the demons of the Eternal Alliance with their own power.
That's it.
Zhong Chi paused for a moment, then he said again.
Furthermore, several apprentice demon slayers including Xu Yi have been found about a hundred miles from Jin City towards the capital. They were drained of their blood and it was confirmed to be the work of demons.
"It can trap several martial artists and drain their blood, it's most likely a vengeful spirit."
Shen Changqing's expression was calm.
From the moment Xu Yi and several others went missing, their fate was essentially sealed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now that it's confirmed dead, it's perfectly normal.
"I understand."
Shen Changqing simply replied calmly.
Upon seeing this, Zhongchi no longer said anything and immediately got up to bid farewell.
Very soon.
Night falls.
Shen Changqing had always been staying in the room, sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Bang!!
The sound of the watchman’s call came from the street, and Shen Changqing directly opened his tightly shut eyes.
Although the night watchmen who were on duty yesterday all died at the hands of demons.
But the city cannot be without a courier, even if all the previous couriers died, now it is necessary to immediately have a replacement follow up.
Just give me enough money.
>
Some commoners are able to suppress the fear in their hearts towards demons.
Open the window.
By the moonlight, he could see More's departing figure. Shen Changqing leaped directly from the window and landed in the street.
After identifying the direction at random, he walked towards the direction of the well where people fetched water during the day.
This is the time.
In the vast, empty well, a shadowy figure with disheveled hair was indistinct. The figure stood in the well, drawing water with a rope and pulling it slowly upward.
Regardless of how the shadow pulled, the rope seemed to have no end and never reached the surface of the water.
Time.
