Chapter Seven: Rescue
m of the Divine King is already the limit.Since breaking the boundary, there have been tens of thousands of years, but not an inch has been gained.So.He had been diligently cultivating the Soul-Steali...Five demonic beasts, all perished.
After slaying five demon heads, Shen Changqing stood motionless. He calmed his mind and looked at the blood-colored lotus in his sea of consciousness.
Compared to before.
>
The phantom of the third petal of the Blood Lotus now seems to be more complete.
Although the change is just a little.
But as a master-level expert, even the slightest changes are still discernible.
So.
>
The change in the blood lotus was immediately caught by Shen Changqing.
“Slay demons and evil spirits, one can also make a breakthrough in martial arts true meaning!”
"That's right, the true meaning of martial arts belongs to the spiritual system. Demons and evil spirits are intangible and formless. Although they can transform into physical attacks when attacking, they ultimately lean more towards the spiritual realm."
Then I'll use the true meaning of martial arts to slay demons, and I can absorb some of the overflowing power for my own use.
The more I think about it.
The more excited he became.
This discovery is equivalent to saying that one has another channel to enhance their spiritual system.
However.
Judging from the recent slaying of demons.
The enhancement given by demons isn't much, it's at most equivalent to a few days of diligent cultivation.
Of course.
Even if it's equivalent to a few days of intense cultivation, it's still a good improvement.
This means that as long as you keep slaying demons, there is a chance to accelerate your breakthrough in the spiritual realm.
"The other martial arts masters of the Wu Ge Sect are likely out on expeditions for this reason. They go out to slay demons and collect spiritual energy, which they then use to nourish themselves!"
Shen Changqing thought to himself silently.
That slight improvement would have been almost imperceptible if one were not particularly attuned.
Instantly.
He stopped thinking about the problem for now and focused his attention on the panel instead.
Six-headed demonic creatures.
Five Headless Specters, plus one Wrathful Specter.
The total number of killing points given is sixty-five.
"Right now, the Great Sun Sutra has almost reached its limit. The dantian can't hold any more true qi. The only way for the Great Sun Sutra to make a breakthrough is to enhance external techniques."
Shen Changqing looked at the panel.
The undefeated golden body of the nineteenth layer is no longer necessary to improve.
As for the enhancement of the RuLai Jin Shen, it is possible. However, the advancement of both external skills would undoubtedly conflict with each other. The subsequent increase in strength they could provide wouldn't be significant either.
Therefore.
The only way forward now is to merge the two martial arts.
This is not a place for merging, let's talk about it when we get back!
Shen Changqing did not immediately merge.
Although the merging process was fast, there was still a gap. If someone or demon attacked during the memory shock, things would get interesting.
To avoid danger.
He can only go back to the Demon Suppression Division and make another breakthrough.
Not long after Shen Changqing left, someone else arrived.
“Strange, there was just a surge of sinister energy here. Why has it suddenly vanished”

“Whoa, such powerful Qi!”
“Judging from the current situation here, there is a high probability that a demonic being appeared and was then killed by an unknown powerful person.”
Several people dressed in the garb of the Demon Suppression Division looked at each other in surprise.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Over the past few days, demonic and evil spirits have caused widespread havoc.
To ensure that demons do not harm the populace, powerful demon slayers travel to different regions to suppress demons and investigate the situation. Those who are weaker, on the other hand, form patrol teams. Whenever a demon appears anywhere, they must react immediately.
Among the group, an older man frowned: "The burst of sinister energy just now was not weak. It is very likely related to resentment spirits, capable of being eradicated in one fell swoop."
That person who made the move is no ordinary person!
> It's too far apart.
Moreover, the demonic aura dissipated quickly, and he was unable to sense too much.
I could only barely make out that the burst of evil energy was possibly at the level of a vengeful spirit.
Another person said, "Who cares who he is, as long as he kills demons and evils, he's on our side. We shouldn't worry too much about it."
"With the current situation in turmoil, a mysterious powerful figure isn't necessarily a good thing. This matter still needs to be reported upwards."
The elderly shook their heads.
During this period, anything out of the ordinary had to be reported.
In case something goes wrong.
If pursued, the consequences could range from imprisonment to beheading.

Upon hearing this.
No one else said anything more in response.
>
After carefully examining the area and confirming that there was nothing amiss, they finally turned and left.
>
On the other side.
Shen Changqing has returned to the Demon Suppression Division.
He originally planned to return to the secluded chamber and focus on merging martial arts skills.
Result.
As soon as I stepped into the Demon Slayer Headquarters, before even leaving the Demonic Removal Courtyard, I saw someone rushing over.
"Lord Shen!"
“Do you know me”
Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Changqing's face was full of confusion.
He could be certain that he had never met the person in front of him.
That person said, “I am under the command of the Eastern Bastion. Please, Lord Shen, come to the Council Hall now.”
Here is your text translated into English:

Orient Town Guard!
Shen Changqing's eyes moved.
If Dongfang Zhao received the news of his release so quickly, it's possible that Tan Tianji reported it to him.
This is a response to your request.
"How did you know I would be back to the Demon Suppression Division at this time"
When Master Shen left the Demon Suppression Division, many people saw him. However, it was unclear where he was going, so I have been waiting here all this time and just now saw Master Shen return.
The person politely explained.
Then Shen Changqing felt relieved.
“Alright, I’ll go see the Eastern Garrison Commander now. You carry on with your work!”
He said something.
He walked towards the council hall.
When the Eastern Command spoke, if he were to go back to his private study now, it would be considered disobedience.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing could only go to meet Dongfang Zhao first. Other matters would have to be put aside for now.
The Hall of Deliberation.
Shen Changqing strode inside, and upon seeing Dongfang Zhao sitting above, he bowed deeply: "Greetings to General Dongfang!"
"You're welcome."
"Xie Zhenhou!"
Shen Changqing then straightened up and clasped his fists in greeting, asking: "I wonder why the Eastern Town Guard sent me here Is there anything I can do"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Eastern Command's face remained calm: "You should be aware that two months ago, when the Imperial Court reinforced Lu'an Prefecture, most of the master cultivators within the Demon Suppression Bureau were requisitioned to head north and join the army."
"Um."
> Two days ago, demons wreaked havoc in the capital city. In many places within the capital's territory, demons were running rampant. To this end, the Demon Suppression Division dispatched numerous demon slayers to quell the disaster throughout the various locations.
Some demon hunters successfully returned, but others remained trapped.

Logically speaking, I should lend a hand, but the Demon Suppression Prison and the Sealing Tower of Demons are matters of great importance, and I cannot act rashly. Right now, I hear that you have made a breakthrough in your spiritual system, so I intend to send you there for support.
The Eastern Emperor said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing's expression turned serious: "The Demon Suppression Division has given the order, and I must obey!"
There's a demon!
That's great, after all, what he lacks the most right now is demons.
To be able to slay other demons, one's own strength can accelerate upwards.
However.
If demonic forces are too powerful, that's also a problem.
>
"May I ask, Commander of the Eastern Garrison, about the strength of the demons at the place I'm going to support"
It's hard to say.
>
The Eastern Emperor shook his head.
It could be a resentment reaching its peak, or it could be a curse, even possibly a demon, but the possibility of a demon is extremely slim. If there were truly demons appearing within the capital's range, I would be the one to feel it.
Please note: I only translated the text content within the > tags. The HTML tags themselves were not changed.
I don't feel that sinister aura anymore, so it probably isn't a demon-level entity.
Even the Eastern Mandate didn't dare to be too certain.
Although the Town Guard Commander possesses formidable perception, some demons are skilled in concealment techniques. Unless they deliberately reveal their power, it is not guaranteed that he can perceive them completely.
"Then I understand."
Shen Changqing had a bottom line in his heart.
At the same time, I also estimated my own strength. If it really was a demon, it would be impossible to fight back, but to say that I could escape with absolute certainty, I didn't have any confidence either.
Thinking about this.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
He then asked, "If it truly were demons, could the Eastern Garrison provide support"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"If you can make it to the gates of the capital city, I will intervene."
Dong Fang Zhao said faintly.
In other words, if you can't reach the city gates of the capital, then you're on your own.
Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.
But he also knew that he had no possibility of refusal.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
And.
As for his own luck, Shen Changqing was also quite believing. The probability of encountering demons and monsters was very low, he wouldn't encounter them himself.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
If he could just increase his depth of understanding a little, then his chances would be greatly improved.
Anyway, confronting demons is impossible.
As long as it can run, that's all that matters.
Make a decision.
Chen Changqing cupped his hands and said, "I don't know how many demon-slaying emissaries have been lost, nor where they are."
"Currently, many demon hunters have gone missing. You're going to Fengyun Village, where one demon hunter is missing, and there are five missing guards from the government office. By the way, you're quite familiar with that demon hunter."
"Jiangzuo"
Shen Changqing couldn't help but ask a question.
Although it was a question, the tone of voice already held a certain conviction.
After all, in the Demon Suppression Division, one could count the familiar demon slayers on one's hand.
"Not bad," Dongfang Zhao nodded. "It's indeed Jiang Zuo. His strength has reached the limit of the innate realm. If he can be trapped in it without any news, then the demonic power of Fengyun Village is evident."
The probability of reaching the peak of resentment is low, and it might end up as just a demon class in the end.
If you hadn't left the seclusion, I was planning to dispatch experts from other regions to Fengyun Village to eliminate the demons. But now that you've returned, I leave this task to you.
With your abilities, dealing with ordinary evil spirits should be no problem.

“May I go in an hour or two”
Shen Changqing asked.
He glanced at him and Dongfang Zhao nodded, “Fine. We’ve already been in there for almost two days anyway. If we’re alive, an hour or two difference won’t matter. And if we’re dead, it doesn’t matter when we die.”
If you can, it's best to go as early as possible.
"I understand!"
Shen Changqing clasped his fists in salute, then bowed and retired.
He had to return to the Hidden Heart Pavilion first, merge the two martial arts together, and transform all the killing points on his body into strength before he could go to rescue Jiang Zuo.
Do not raise your abilities to the limit of the current stage.
I've always been a little uneasy.
