ve you not seen In this battle, the Southern Yang clan has fallen into disarray. Even a God King has perished. If we delay any longer, the Southern Yang clan will surely suffer heavy losses.“I am her...Those few yamen guards who had fallen asleep were already attacked by demons, their qi and blood significantly depleted.

Luckily.

I arrived on time, so there were no major issues.

With several yamen guards in tow, Shen Changqing hadn't even had time to sit down before he received another message.

Immediately.

He then left the government office, carrying his sword and rushing to another place.

I don't know how long ago it was.

Suddenly, there was a great commotion outside the city. There were shrill screams at times, and roars of warriors at other times.

"My lord, there is unusual activity outside the city!"

Zhang Yue, who was beside Shen Changqing, also unconsciously darkened his face.

Originally, I encountered demonic attacks on the street. Fortunately, I was well-prepared beforehand, so nothing major happened.

The result now just solved the demons, and there's a problem outside the city.

It's impossible to say there is no pressure at all.

It seems those sects weren't completely unprepared. The Eternal Alliance's attack on Lin'an City this time is truly aimed at seizing the demon blood essence.

Shen Changqing naturally saw the commotion outside the city.

> With just a simple thought, he recalled several things.

Compared to the demons that run rampant within the city, the demons vying for demon blood outside the city walls are the greatest trouble.

From Shen Changqing's perspective.

Outside the city, the demonic creatures vying for essence blood are at least resentful spirits in terms of strength.

Even if all those disciples from the various sects combined, they wouldn't be enough to defeat a single resentment-grade monster.

Therefore.

Shen Changqing had prepared for the annihilation of his entire army.

Now it seems there are definitely other strong individuals who have arrived.

The commotion outside the city now is just the fighting between those powerful beings and demons.

It can be seen.

A few members of the various sects are merely the vanguard in the fight for demon essence, and there are still powerful figures lurking behind them.

"The person who made the move is at least at the Innate Realm, but I don't know how many there are!"

Only congenital warriors are qualified to fight against evil spirits, but Shen Changqing was not sure how many congenital warriors had arrived.

As for what the master said.

The possibility is not very high.

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

But this also shows that several sects attach great importance to demon and fiend blood.

Look away.

Shen Changqing looked at Zhang Yue: "Continue patrolling the city. If you find any demonic or evil creatures, report to the yamen immediately!"

That's all.

He then walked in the direction of Yongfu Pawn Shop.

Soaring through the air, with just a few leaps and bounds, they vanished from Zhang Yue and the others' sight.

Let's go, patrol inside!

Zhang Yue came to his senses and looked at the several yamen officials who were still in shock. He spoke in a low voice.

On the other side.

Shen Changqing also arrived at Yongfu Pawn Shop.

From the situation of city gate guards, he could be sure that the demons within Lin'an City wouldn't run rampant for long.

As long as those martial artists outside the city win, the demons within the city will automatically withdraw.

The same.

If martial artists outside the city suffer a crushing defeat, the demons will certainly be injured as well.

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

By then, with someone in charge of Lin'an City, the Eternal Alliance would avoid losses, and the demons within the city would definitely withdraw.

So.

Regardless of the outcome.

Several powerful masters from various schools stepped in, which even eased the current situation in Lin'an City.

Just like other pawn shops, the Yongfu Pawn Shop in front of me was pitch black inside, as if no one existed.

True energy shuddered.

The door creaked open, and Shen Changqing stepped inside.

Instantly.

A wave of cold air suddenly hit me.

"Demons!"

Shen Changqing's face turned cold. He was all too familiar with this chilling aura; it was the very essence of demonic energy that emanated from evil spirits.

Only demons or things that have recently left will have lingering evil energy.

As I had expected.

Demonic forces have attacked Lin'an City, and the Heavenly Watch has remained silent so far. It is clear that they have also been attacked by demonic forces.

Entering the pawnshop, all that met the eyes was darkness.

Shen Changqing could see things at night, with just one glance, he would take in the surroundings.

No one!

He set off toward the backyard.

Suddenly.

A dark shadow lay on the ground.

He walked in and was immediately confronted with a corpse.

At first glance, the corpse looked like it had been dead for a long time, but Shen Changqing could tell at a glance that it was the result of its blood being drained clean.

And the mummy's face also made him feel familiar.

Take a closer look.

Upon closer inspection, the corpse turned out to be a former clerk from Yongfu Pawn Shop. Of course, that was merely his publicly known identity; in reality, he was also a member of the Heavenly Watch.

But now, this celestial watchman is nothing but a corpse.

As intelligence operatives, the members of Tianchawei are generally not very strong. As the head of the Tianchawei outpost in Lin'an City, Situ Bei's connections aren't even considered average.

Crossed over the corpses lying on the ground.

Shen Changqing continued to walk toward the inner hall.

The ground was littered with corpses, all drained of blood.

But it's different.

Each person's face wore a different expression, some in terror, others contorted.

When he fully entered the inner hall, a wave of blood hit him. In the darkness of the inner hall, Shen Changqing saw a person who had been chopped off limbs, like a human pig.

As you get closer.

Shen Changqing saw that the so-called human pig was actually Situ Bei.

This leader of the Heavenly Watch in Lin'an City wasn't drained of his blood by demons, but was instead brutally hacked to death, limbs severed and bleeding out.

One could tell from the furious expression on their face what must have happened.

Crouch down.

Sheng Changqing covered Si Tu Bei's hands, helping him close his eyes.

Then, Xun even stood up, extending his senses to their fullest.

Though an eerie aura still lingered, it weakened with every passing moment, proving that the demons who once resided here had silently vanished.

A moment of silence.

Shen Changqing retracted his perception, refocusing his gaze on Situ Bei. His expression remained impassive.

“You have become too complacent, and now you have fallen into the hands of demons.”

Even earlier on, he had discovered that the Tianchawei in Lin'an City was too complacent and lacked any of the characteristics a proper Tianchawei should have.

As for information on demons and evils, it is also not comprehensive.

>

Now that the Yongfu pawn shop has been wiped out, it can be considered a price paid for Situ Bei's slacking.

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

After all, although the Celestial Guard's strength is not strong, they have never lacked ways to protect themselves. Otherwise, as the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppression Division, the Celestial Guard would be impossible to develop so peacefully in the vast Qin Dynasty where demonic creatures are rampant.

To put it simply.

Though Tianchawei's strength is lacking, their methods of self-preservation are top-notch.

Like Yongfu Pawnshop, being wiped out by demons is really not a common occurrence.

It can also be seen here.

Master Situ Bei had almost forgotten everything the Heavenly Watch should have.

After searching every nook and cranny of Yongfu Pawn Shop, Shen Changqing finally confirmed that the entire Tianchawei outpost had been completely wiped out by demons.

It can also be seen from here that the Eternal Alliance is well-prepared.

Immediately destroying the Tianchawei outpost was like blinding the Zhenmosis' eyes in Lin'an City.

It's just ——

The Eternal Life Alliance probably wouldn't have expected that the Skywatchers in Lin'an City were practically indistinguishable from regular citizens. Destroying a Yongfu Pawn Shop wouldn't make much of a difference, not to the entire Town Demon Division, nor to Shen Changqing himself.

Search everything.

Shen Changqing directly dug a deep pit on the spot and buried all the bodies there. He left the rest untouched and simply returned to the yamen.

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

When he was going back.

The battle outside the city is still ongoing.

At the same time, there were also flames shooting into the sky in the city.

When Shen Changqing returned to the yamen, he immediately summoned all the yamen clerks who were recuperating inside.

Please note: I only translated the content within the > tags, and I left the HTML tags untouched.

“The fire in the city must be caused by demons. You gather the nearby people to put out the fire and don't cause a big panic!”

"This humble servant obeys!"

A group of yamen servants hurriedly received their orders.

Shen Changqing looked at the scene outside the yamen. The city was originally dark, but now it was illuminated by many flames.

“The demons are on the losing side, otherwise they wouldn't resort to such extreme measures, setting fire. Shame on them for even thinking of this!”

Setting fire to the city is undoubtedly an attempt to create panic.

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

Now all the officials in the yamen have been sent out.

“Unfortunately, Lin’an City is ultimately too small and its location isn't particularly important. It's impossible to station a large army there, otherwise things would be much easier to handle.”

Shen Changqing sighed.

The territory of the Qin Dynasty was vast, and not every city had soldiers stationed there.

As a matter of fact.

A city that truly had soldiers stationed in it would either be a large city or have a very important geographical location. A small place like Lin'an City, wouldn't even have dozens of government officials.

One step forward, the body leaped into the air.

Shen Changqing stood on the roof of the government office. His vision suddenly broadened, allowing him to take in most of Lin'an City at a glance.

Originally, Lin'an City was plunged into darkness. Even if one could see at night, the visibility was limited.

But now things are different.

Everywhere, flames surged.

With the help of firelight, Shen Changqing could see farther.

Standing on the roof of the government office.

Shen Changqing could clearly see that because of the fire, many people had run out of their homes to help put out the fire.

Farther.

That was the battle outside the city.

Unfortunately, the distance was too great. Even though he had the advantage of being in a high position, he couldn't see much.

Here we go!

"Let me see how many demons are still left in Lin'an city—"

Shen Changqing's perception was at its peak, his gaze sweeping across the entire city like lightning, trying to find the whereabouts of the demon.

Since the Immortal Alliance has gone to the lengths of setting fire, then demons will no longer act as low-key as before.

After all, in the eyes of demons and monsters, humans are like pigs and dogs.

Now that things have completely fallen apart, there's no choice but to engage in a large-scale massacre before retreating.

Looking around.

Only a raging fire could ignite.

As the commoners scrambled to put out the fire, a chill air flickered past.

"Found you!"

Accurately capturing that chill, Shen Changqing's face broke into a cold and sharp smile.

The next moment.

...The body rose into the air, soaring toward the direction where the sinister qi vanished.

Very soon.

He fell into a yard.

That faint trace of evil aura had now become thick and pungent. Looking around, one could see corpses lying everywhere.

The manner of death of those bodies,
