Chapter Thirty: To Exterminate the Nine Clans

usand years of cultivation. Although it seems to have accumulated quite a bit, for a genius at the fourth level of the divine realm, although it is still not to be underestimated, it is not too substa...“The magistrate of Lin'an City, actually dared to collude with demons, he deserves to die!”

>From the letter, it seems Zhao Fang has committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

"Hmph, colluding with demons is not something that can be solved by a mere suicide out of guilt. If the consequence for everyone who colludes with demons were simply to die in atonement, how many people would betray humanity"

Zhou Yuan was sneering. In his eyes, Zhao Fang's death was just the beginning.

"Consorting with demons, betraying the human race, attempting to sacrifice Lin'an City to feed monsters, numerous crimes deserve severe punishment, deserving extermination of the entire clan!"

As they were talking.

His gaze turned towards Dongfang Zhao.

That's all.

The Eastern Emperor spoke slowly: "From the Qingling Jade Pendant, it is clear that the County Magistrate of Lin'an City has indeed colluded with demons. But Zhao Fang is, after all, the County Magistrate of a city. To seize his family and exterminate his clan, His Majesty's approval would be necessary."

Upon entering the court tomorrow, I shall report everything truthfully.

Speaking of which, an apprentice demon slayer who can slay a powerful Wraith-rank monster and even kill demon humans isn't bad. Are you familiar with this person

The subject of the question.

Jiang Zuo, who was standing below, did not dare to move.

Having heard the inquiry.

Jiang Zu arched his hand and replied, "Reporting to the Eastern Guardian, Shen Changqing joined the Demon Suppression Office a year ago and became an apprentice demon slayer. According to the records left by Liu Chang, the former head of the Yellow Department's Demon Slayer Academy, Shen Changqing was promoted to Tongmai within three months of joining the Demon Suppression Office."

When it comes to talent, Shen Changqing is stronger than most demon hunters.

"Oh, March Tongmai, I didn't expect him to be such a genius!" Dongfang Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly: "March promoted Tongmai, spending eight or nine months, breaking through the middle stage of Tongmai is not difficult, even the later stage is possible."

"In that case, slaying a powerful Specter-grade monster would be considered normal."

Peerless genius.

One's speed of cultivation is naturally incomparable to others.

In March, there is a high probability of getting the meridian open for the entire year.

Of course.

To break through this barrier, the time it takes is not comparable to what it takes to train one's body to a state of peak condition.

“By the way.”

Zhou Yuan was thinking about something and looked at Jiang Zuo: “A few days ago, the Heavenly Watch sent news that there was a demonic blood essence born in Lin'an City and its surroundings in Guangyuan Prefecture. So, is the one stationed in Lin'an City now also this Shen Changqing”

That's right!

Jiang Zuo nodded and truthfully replied.

Zhou Yuan nodded.

The Demon Suppression Division had too many things happening every day. All over the place, the Heavenly Watch would constantly send all the collected information here.

He had some hearsay about many things, but they weren't too important and he wouldn't deliberately remember them.

It's just like the demon and monster blood appearing in Lin'an City.

That level of demon essence blood was nothing to the Demon Suppression Division. After someone made arrangements, Zhou Yuan simply put the matter aside.

Now, because of associating with demons.

Only then did he recall some things about Lin'an City.

“A once-in-a-century prodigy who has mastered the March Meridian, if he were to fall in Lin’an City, it would be a significant loss. While demonic essence isn't particularly rare, it's still quite tempting for most forces.”

He, a martial artist who hadn't broken through his innate limitations, remained there. Even with the reputation of the Demon Suppression Division, it wasn't guaranteed that he could control the situation.

The town commander shook his head, clearly meaning to call Shen Changqing back.

Eastward's expression remained calm: "The true geniuses are those who grow into extraordinary talents. Right now, most of the Town Demon Division's power is tied up by demons across various regions. Although he is only an apprentice exorcist, his strength is not weak."

Even ordinary yellow talismans for warding off evil spirits are not necessarily comparable.

"Let him stay there. If he can return safely, then he's a talent worth nurturing. Jiang Zuo, what do you suggest"

“This subordinate will obey the orders of all you defenders!”

Jiang Zuo was startled and hurriedly bowed his head in reply.

He was just a minor clerk; he had no authority to influence the thoughts of the military commander. At this time, being invisible was the most practical approach.

But—

Then, Dong Fang's tone shifted: "He has only just joined the Demon Suppression Division recently and isn't considered a Yellow Rank Exorcist. This mission is quite tricky, and our Demon Suppression Division can't simply ignore it."

Having finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yuan and the others.

"Gentlemen, how might we do better"

>

“Since we've decided to have him guard Lin'an City, we should give him Huang Jie the benefits due to a Demonic Slayer. We can select a martial art from the second floor of the Book Repository for him. If he can break through to the Innate realm in the future, that would be a good thing too.”

Zhou Yuan replied without hesitation.

The remaining two didn't speak, but their meaning was much the same.

Dongfang Zhao nodded and looked towards Jiang Zuo: "From today onwards, Shen Changqing will be the Yellow Rank demon exterminator. The inner martial arts on the second floor of the library can choose one to be bestowed upon him, and another bottle of Tongmai Dan will be given, along with other things, to be sent to Lin'an City."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Jianzu bowed and accepted the order.

"Tomorrow, I will enter the palace to inform His Majesty about dealing with the matter in Lin'an City. But it is unlikely that a new county magistrate will be appointed so quickly. Before then, let Shen Changqing temporarily act as the county magistrate of Lin'an City. We do not require him to achieve any political achievements; we only ask him to maintain stability within the city."

"If, by that time, matters in Lin'an City remain unresolved, the Demon Suppression Bureau will send people to assist if they have the manpower available."

After returning from the pawn shop, Shen Changqing returned to his original inn.

according to his original intention.

He should have just gone to inquire about the demon blood, confirmed a few things, and then returned home directly to the Demon Suppression Division in the capital.

As for other matters concerning Lin'an City, they have little to do with me personally.

>

Shen Changqing never expected that when he was about to leave, the Demon Suppression Division would still give him this set of things.

"I wish I hadn't gone to Tianshan Observatory!"

He sighed helplessly, but he also understood that if he hadn't gone to Tianchawei, he wouldn't have had to guard Lin'an City.

In fact.

The letter came from the Demonic Suppression Office and once it fell into the hands of the Celestial Watch, they found a way to get it to him.

The only difference between them is the time.

Even if I have completely left Lin'an City, and even Guangyuan Prefecture, it is possible that I will return.

Two days passed quickly.

Shen Changqing had spent the past two days thoroughly exploring Lin'an City. News of Zhao Fang colluding with demons was already spreading like wildfire.

After all, what happened that night was seen by many people. Not every yamen servant would keep his mouth shut.

Besides.

The death of Zhao Fangtang, even as a mere county magistrate, was impossible to conceal. Furthermore, the constables' strict guarding of the Zhao family residence also caused quite a stir.

So far, the people of Lin'an City have almost all heard about Zhao Fang's collusion with demons.

For a moment.

Zhaofang and his family were universally condemned.

Of course, for Shen Changqing, it was not a big deal.
