Chapter 25: Return

.”"Your Excellency is too kind. I never expected that the head manager of Yuanyang Auction House would be a strong individual who has entered the realm of the physical body.">Shen Changqing looked at...Right as dawn was breaking, after absorbing the first ray of purple qi from the heavens and earth, Shen Changqing was just about to call Wei Lan back when Zhang Hongyuan stopped him with a message.

“Master Shen, there are changes on Mount Xiaqiu!”

"What on earth happened"

Looking at the person before him, Shen Changqing's brows couldn't help but furrow, and his heart skipped a beat.

Now he is also quite sensitive about things concerning Xiaochushan.

"Mr. Shen, just come with me and you'll see!"

Zhang Hongyuan didn't answer directly. Seeing this, Shen Changqing also left the tent.

Outside.

>

Elaine Wai, in her stylish outfit, had already been waiting there.

Upon seeing the steward, Shen Changqing asked, "Steward Wei, do you know what happened"

"It's still unclear."

Cathy waved her head.

Just like Shen Changqing, she was also called back by Zhang Hongyuan. The only difference was that she came out a little earlier.

Zhang Hongyuan said, “For a moment, I don't know what to say. Come and see with me, you’ll understand.”

Seeing the mystery in his words, the two exchanged glances and then followed each other's steps.

Standing on a higher slope, Zhang Hongyuan pointed to the scene in front: "Look here, both of you!"

Following the direction indicated by the other person, Shen Changqing and Wei Lan cast their gazes.

Inside Xiaqiu Mountain.

From some point onwards, a whole half of the town had appeared. Streets lined up, houses stood ready, with the only difference from an ordinary town being that there was no one living there.

In an instant.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Both of their faces were grim.

"Hui Lan's face was solemn: 'Completely free from the constraints of a specific time and place, this natural disaster's power is almost at its peak even without reaching its growth stage!'"

The biggest feature of the juvenile period's disasters is that the appearance of the domain requires specific time and location.

Once a calamity is free from the constraints of its two natures and can freely display its own domain, it means that disaster is about to transcend its infancy, or has even successfully entered the growth period.

“According to the information provided by the Demon Suppression Office, this celestial disaster has only appeared recently and it's impossible for it to break through its growth stage so quickly. There's only one possibility: it devoured something that caused a short-term surge in its power.

And Master Shen had said last night that the celestial disaster had once consumed the demons who dared to enter Xiaochushan Mountain.

"Within the protection of two ground-floor demon slayers, one could successfully enter Xiaqiu Mountain. At least a master realm strength was required to do so. The celestial disaster itself had accumulated quite a bit of power, and with the addition of master realm strength, reaching such a state wasn't impossible."

Cathy Tsang provided a calm analysis.

Among those present, she was the one who knew the most about disaster data.

Upon hearing her explanation.

Both Shen Changqing and Zhang Hongyuan's faces changed slightly.

Wei Lan continued, “Fortunately, the disaster realm hasn’t completely engulfed Xiaqiu Mountain yet. Otherwise, news of the disaster would have been impossible to hide. We will return as soon as possible to report to the capital, and Zhang Chumo has also sent a message to the Demon Suppression Office in Lingcheng.”

"No problem."

Zhang Hongyuan nodded, he knew the seriousness of this matter.

Natural disasters are becoming more powerful.

The danger of defending Xiaqiu Mountain itself would be significantly greater.

If one day you oversleep and wake up to find yourself in a disaster area, then you can only wait for death.

With a disaster about to enter its growth stage, Zhang Hongyuan had no confidence in dealing with it.

>

Immediately.

Shen Changqing and Wei Lan didn't dare to linger. They bid farewell to Zhang Hongyuan directly, mounted their steeds which had been taken care of by the guards for a day, and rode towards the capital.

On the other side.

Zhang Hongyuan will also immediately report the news back.

Natural disasters are becoming increasingly powerful, this is a matter of great seriousness.

Lingshen.

Inside the Demon Suppression Division.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It was only the next day when the town guard of the Demon Division in Lingcheng Town received the news first.

The catastrophe on Xiaoqiu Mountain is about to break through!

Guosheng's face was grave. In his hand was the message Zhang Hongyuan had passed on.

To his left sat another female town guard.

Ding Feng!

Lingcheng Town's Demon Suppression Office was just one among several Demon Suppression Offices in Guangyuan Prefecture. Its strength wasn't particularly strong, so it only had two garrison commanders.

Taking the paper, Ding Feng glanced at it seriously and said with a grim face: "That natural disaster has grown to this extent, it's really beyond our expectations. I'm afraid even the demon clan didn't expect that one day they would become food for the natural disaster!"

Devour demonic beasts.

This greatly increased his strength.

To be honest.

She was a bit surprised.

In the past, even natural disasters, without an alliance with the demon clan, would not have randomly killed members of the demon clan.

After all, the demon clan is powerful.

Killing members of the demon race recklessly will invite the wrath of the demon race. Even natural disasters, if they offend the demon race, will be a considerable trouble.

Guo Sheng said, “This natural disaster is completely different from any we've encountered before. According to Zhang Hongyuan's message, despite this disaster not getting along with the demon clan, it might even be crazier than any other natural disaster!"

According to Zhang Hongyuan's message, Mo Zijin is clearly a natural disaster with ideals and ambitions.

Such natural disasters are often the most frightening.

Though natural disasters are terrifying, those with culture and pursuits are even more terrifying.

It is quite obvious.

Mo Zijin belongs to the latter category.

If such a natural disaster is left to develop, it could potentially cause devastating damage to the Qin Dynasty.

“Such a danger, of course, is best eradicated, but natural disasters are impossible to eliminate. What can we do about it now!”

Ding Feng's face was cold. If a natural disaster could be eradicated, she would set off for Xiaochushan right now and forcibly destroy Mo Zijin.

But the problem is.

Natural disasters can't destroy it.

> This kind of immortal existence is the most troublesome.

Guo Sheng said: "It's impossible to eradicate him completely. We can only do our best to suppress his growth. Send a few Earth-rank exorcists, or even Heaven-rank exorcists, over there. Make sure to guard Xiaochushan well and prevent any more demons from entering."

A demon sent a head, and almost caused a big problem.

Now that even knowing the demons went to Xiaqiu Mountain would be a death sentence, he dared not let the demons in again.

Ultimately.

It is also related to the geographical location where natural disasters occur.

If the demonic clan really went mad and, even willing to sacrifice a batch of powerful warriors, would let the natural disaster grow up, then for the Qin Dynasty, it would be a huge trouble.

Ding Feng shook her head: "Where in Lingcheng are there so many Di-jie and Tian-jie demon slayers now If we send them to Xiaoqiu Mountain, then the demons in other places wouldn't have to be worried about."

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

“If we can’t get Lingshen City, then we should ask other towns of the Demon Suppression Bureau for help. They all belong to Guangyuan Prefecture anyway, so they can’t just stand by and watch, right”

Guo Sheng wasn't too worried.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The Demon Suppression Division is not just in Lingcheng, there are several in Guangyuan Prefecture. Even if the Demon Suppression Division in Guangyuan Prefecture is not good, there are other prefectures' Demon Suppression Divisions.

In conclusion.

Natural disasters are not just a matter for the Guangshen Prefecture, nor is it solely the responsibility of the Lin Cheng Town Demon Bureau.

If something goes wrong, everyone is responsible.

>

Ding Feng said, "You're more familiar with those Demon Suppression Guards than I am. You should go contact them. If I went, I'm afraid we would fight."

That'll work.

Guo Sheng did not refuse, he knew Ding Feng's violent temper.

If anything can't be settled, it might even come to blows.

It took Shen Changqing and Wei Lan several days to return to the capital from Xiaochushan.

Entering the capital territory.

They also clearly sensed that the atmosphere was off.

After truly entering the capital, most of the common people's faces also wore worry. The sounds they heard were also vaguely related to demons and ghosts.

"Another new demon has appeared!"

From all aspects, Shen Changqing could basically confirm this guess.

Upon hearing this, He Lan nodded slightly.

"Demons and fiends rarely caused havoc in the capital city before, but now they appear one after another. It's feared that a real major upheaval is coming!"

“I’ll report back later. Let’s just leave the rest for now.” Shen Changqing shook his head and didn’t think about it anymore.

Right now, the most important thing is to report on what happened on Xiaochushan first.

Within the capital's borders, demons and ghosts are running amok. For him, it is also a good thing.

In this way.

As long as you make your move before anyone else, you'll have the opportunity to reap a wave of kill points.

After leaving Xiaoqiu Mountain, Shen Changqing understood the importance of strength even more.

It has strength.

Only then can one master one's own destiny.

Mo Zijin's words, and his past experiences, all clearly told him that no one could be trusted. The only truly reliable person was himself.

Even with the backing of the Demon Suppression Office, when it comes to making difficult choices, I myself might become a pawn.

Just like the people infected with the plague in Guangyuan Prefecture over two hundred years ago.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

In order to prevent further spread of the infection, those infected were abandoned, sealed within the city walls, left to fend for themselves.

Although the imperial court did not personally take action to kill those commoners.

Let it fend for itself and die in despair, that is just as cruel.

There are some choices.

Shen Changqing didn't want to become the second Mo Zijin, nor did he want to be one of the infected people in Guangyuan Prefecture over two hundred years ago.

I don't want to make the same mistakes again.

Then, there must be the strength to break everything.

entered the capital city.

Please provide the content you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

The two of them led their horses to the relay station, where they were taken care of by professionals. Then, they set off for the Demon Suppression Bureau.

In the main hall of the palace.

Dongfang Zhao sat there, silently listening to Shen Changqing's report. Wei Lan was completely transparent at this time.

Gradually.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

As Shen Changqing spoke more and more, the Prefect's face grew increasingly solemn.

By the time he finished speaking, Dongfang Zhao's expression had become extremely serious.

>More than two hundred years ago, there are still case files to check. It's true that the imperial court was ruthless at the time, but it was all for the well-being of more people. Everything they did was the only way. Unexpectedly, this incident actually caused Guangyuan Prefecture to have an extra natural disaster, and it even led to such thoughts.

"If this isn't handled properly, the trouble could be enormous!"ster's breath.Some creatures that had been driven to desperation by the fighting, were emboldened enough to approach this ferocious beast. But when they sensed its terrifying aura, they all fled in pa...
