Chapters 259 to 60: No Breakthrough, No Standing
its to be gained.When Shen Changqing heard this, he finally understood what the Bloodline Pool was all about.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Then.He then asked, "Do h...The establishment of three Demon Suppression Divisions by the Nanyou Mansion was not random, but had its main reasons.
Nan Yu Mansion occupies a vast expanse of land.
To achieve both a good beginning and a good ending, you need three branches of the Demon Suppression Division.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Otherwise.
It is easy for demons to take advantage of an opportunity.
Although the Devil Suppression City was breached, with the arrival of the Heavenly Alliance, it is clear that they genuinely intend to control the city. Therefore, they have put all their effort into eradicating demons.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But now.
The Tianxia Alliance has been destroyed.
Among the many sects, all were uprooted by the Demon Suppression Division.
That can be said.
Now, the territory of Ba Yue City is a blank slate, with no garrison forces whatsoever.
If demons and evils run rampant, they are almost unstoppable.
The rebuilding of the Demon Suppression Division is a necessary thing to do.
Upon hearing this, Yuan didn't show any surprise on his face, apparently having expected it all along.
The rebuilding of the Demon Suppression Division is inevitable, but now that there's no Wang Jie as commander, only I and Fu Lan are left. It will be difficult to stabilize the situation.
A garrison commander can command a region, but it also depends on where that region is.
It's like a third of Nan Yu Fu, a general commanding the garrison troops, there is a huge difference.
Only Wang Jie, the military governor, has the qualifications to garrison such a place.
Otherwise.
Not every town demon division leader is a powerful figure at this level.
Even though Yuan was quite confident in his own strength, he also understood that he didn't have the ability to single-handedly defend against Yuecheng.
Even with an extra Fran, it's still the same.
Explain the difference between a minister and a king.
It cannot be compensated by a small number of people.
Unless.
Only if there are lieutenant generals of two ranks or above stationed in the garrison could they possibly contend with the general guarding commander.
However.
It's just about holding them back a little.
It's two levels off, and making up the difference isn't simple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing said: "Don't worry too much about the issue of those in power for now. I am stationed at Nan Youfu, and I won't allow demons to run rampant. All you need to do is rebuild Bai Yuecheng Town and the Demon Suppression Division."
"I will take care of the rest."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Another thing is the cost of rebuilding the Demon Suppression Division. You can apply to the imperial court for funding, and I believe there will be no problems."
He has no intention of paying out of his own pocket.
It's definitely better to apply to the imperial court.
Spending your own money is foolish behavior.
And.
Rebuilding a Demon Suppression Division wouldn't be cheap. Just the reconstruction alone would cost at least seven figures, not to mention the subsequent recruitment of demon exorcists and various resources.
To put it plainly.
The Demonic Suppression Office is like a bottomless pit.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only the imperial court has the ability to support them; if it were anyone else, they would have been drained dry by now.
After all, what can be gained from slaying demons
The court's bestowal of rewards is akin to giving out money.
Even if Shen Changqing now publishes a task to capture demons, it would still be at a loss. The difference is that his own strength can be improved, while the imperial court cannot.
Xiang nodded. "I will apply to the court for this matter."
That's good.
Shén Chángqīng nodded slightly.
Then.
He raised his hand, and his palm split open.
A drop of blood, radiating a powerful aura, appeared out of nowhere.
>
That powerful aura caused even Xiang Yuan and the others to change color. Even Yun Zun's complexion changed.
They looked at each other's palms.
There remained a drop of golden blood, besides which, purple thunder lingered within the blood, brimming with sacred aura.
"Shen Zhen, this is..."
Yunzun was somewhat shocked.
He could feel it in his blood, a powerful force surging within him, a force that was almost equal to his own.
The content between > is:
So, the translated text is just:
Just a single drop of blood.
It has already become so powerful.
Then, my strength is self-evident.
Recalling the scene of shattered void on Saint Buddha Mountain, Yun Zun felt both shock and a sense of inevitability in his heart.
Shen Changqing held the drop of blood and calmly said, "This is a drop of my essence blood, with a portion of my soul power attached. If a powerful demon invades, the guardian can release this blood to fight."
As long as it's not a high-ranking demon, it can be dealt with.
Even if high-ranking demons were to attack, I believe we could hold them off for a while. By then, I will naturally arrive.
Amazing!
Unbelievable shock!
The words, light and gentle like the breeze, yet held within them a shocking message.
What does this mean!
One drop of blood can deal with all demons below high-rank demons, and even against high-rank demons, it can hold its own.
Even though Yún Zūn had a premonition in his heart, when the truth was confirmed, he couldn't help but be shocked again.
As for Yuan and Feiyun, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Regarding the astonishment of others.
Shen Changqing was also very satisfied in his heart.
After completing the Divine Lightning Golden Body, his power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
>
When he was at the seventh level of the Shenxiao Golden Body, the power of his condensed essence blood was at most equivalent to that of a low-level demon.
But now.
A single drop of blood's power is already comparable to that of a half-step higher-level demonic beast.
That can be said.
This is a leap in quality.
Shen Changqing believes that when he truly makes another breakthrough, his physical essence and blood will surely undergo a powerful transformation.
That time.
A single drop of blood can suppress even high-level demons, it's probably not a big problem.
... with one's own soul and blood essence power.
If pushed to the extreme, one could split into dozens of avatars in a single breath.
However.
There is no need for this.
After all, even with subsequent breakthroughs, it's hard to make up for such serious consumption.
And.
The power of the soul cannot be replenished. Once severely depleted, there is only one path left to choose: falling in cultivation level.
Besides.
To give a concrete example, even now, dozens of demonized avatars at the peak of the mid-stage level combined are not as powerful as I am.
There's no need for that, splitting into avatars is just a result of having too much to eat.
It was only because Shen Changqing saw that now the Moonlit City had no powerful figures in charge that he split a drop of his essence blood to stabilize the situation.
Once the essence blood is triggered.
He will be able to arrive in time.
To reduce a journey to an inch.
It's not just talk.
Although divine powers are quite draining, with my current foundation, I can maintain them for a while.
...and this period of time.
While it may not encompass the entire Nan You Fu, most of it should be able to hold.
With this foundation, Shen Changqing had the confidence to do so.
Someone brought him a jade box, and he sealed his essence blood inside it.
"To the Garrison Commander, remember, do not activate Blood Force unless absolutely necessary."
Shen Changqing earnestly admonished.
The consumption of essence is a small matter, the consumption of the soul and spirit is a great one.
As long as essence is not consumed, the consumption of the soul can be recovered. But if it is completely depleted, then this fraction of the soul will be completely lost.
That way.
He didn't know how many demons he had to slay before he could make up for what he had lost.
“Shen Zhenhou, rest assured, I will never use my blood power unless it is a critical moment!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Xiang Yuan clutched the jade box and nodded solemnly.
Even if it were sealed in a jade box, he could feel the power within that sent shivers down his spine.
>
This is the power that belongs only to the strong.
Before.
Toward Yuan thought that being the town guard captain was already considered powerful.
Now is the time.
He deeply understood that he was far behind those top-tier individuals.
Then things became much easier.
With Shen Changqing's essence blood obtained, Xiang Yuan had no more significant pressure regarding the reconstruction of the Demon Division in Ba Yue City.
There is this Southern Nether Mansion's Garrison Commander here.
Even though Bai Yuecheng Town's Demon Division doesn't have a Wangjie commander-in-chief stationed there, it's more stable than before when a Wangjie commander-in-chief was in charge.
the strength of the killing domain realm.
A drop of essence blood is equivalent to half a step higher demon.

All of them are at the level of powerful demons, such as Dongfang Zhao. These powerful beings are comparable to him.
Even now that there is no Wang-Rank Marshal guarding Nanyu Mansion, it is estimated that the Everlasting Alliance and the demon clan would not dare to act recklessly.
After all.
Once you lose control, you'll have to endure the wrath of a Grand Marshal comparable to a great demon.
Unless a powerful demon from the demonic clan appears.

Even if several Wang Jie generals were stationed there, it would be difficult to change the situation.
After Yuan departed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing immediately found Jiang An, who was overseeing the construction of Zhen Mo Yu.
“Shen brother”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon seeing the arrival, Jiang An was taken aback.
This is the second time this person has come to find him in so many days.
He immediately understood that something must be done.
Before Jiang An could ponder what it might be, Shen Changqing got straight to the point.
"The Demon Bureau in Ba Yue Town will soon be rebuilt, and a Demon Prison also needs to be built there. Brother Jiang, how much merit and silver taels do you require"
"This—"
Jiang An was stunned by the other party's blunt words.
After a long while, he finally managed to regain his composure.
After a moment of thought.
He said in a low voice, "One thousand five hundred meritorious deeds for one Demon Suppressing Prison. Brother Shen, if you want to include the Fallen Moon City, add another one thousand five hundred meritorious deeds."
"Could we use something else instead, such as silver How about a discount of 500 taels for one point of merit"
Shen Changqing tentatively asked a question.
That's it.
Jiang An shook his head: "Brother Shen should understand that silver is of no use to us, only achievements matter."
“Okay!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing sighed.
He isn't short of money now, all his assets add up to over two hundred million.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Two million taels of silver.
In the past, it was far more than just two small goals.
But.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When it came to the matter of merits and demerits, Shen Changqing found himself a bit at a loss.
He lacked nothing, what he truly lacked was achievement.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Qingling Jade Pendant now stores a considerable amount of sinister energy. However, for demonic entities below the level of demons, the merit points they can exchange are at most only a thousand.
The sinister aura of the demonic realm made Shen Changqing somewhat reluctant to exchange it.
Such sinister aura.
With enough merits, you can exchange them in the Demon Suppression Division for a demon of equal rank.
The spiritual power a demonic beast contributes is incomparable to that of any demon.
I thought about it.
He looked at the other person and said, "One thousand and five merit points are no problem. I'll give them to you in a while. Brother Jiang, remember that after things here in Nanhai City are finished, head to Baicyue City."
"No problem."
“It's been many years since I last came to the Demon Suppression Bureau, hasn't it”
Gu Xuanji strolled through the Demon Suppression Division, looking at the surrounding scene with a somewhat wistful expression.
How many years has it been
It's been decades, I think.
For decades, he had remained within the palace walls, hardly venturing out.
Now.
Once again arriving at the Demon Suppressing Division, Gu Xuan felt a surge of emotions within him.
Dongfang Zhao, who followed closely beside him, smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Your Majesty, if you're willing, feel free to visit the Demon Suppression Division anytime. The capital is so vast, Your Majesty can go wherever you please."
“When one is away for too long, it becomes difficult to handle political affairs properly. Everyone covets the throne, but few understand its hardships!”
Gǔ Xuánjī shook his head.
That's it.
The Eastern Emperor did not reply, he merely smiled faintly.
The eunuchs following behind him didn't dare to speak.
As they arrived before the grand council hall, Gu Xuanji suddenly halted his steps. "A recent urgent report from Nanyou Mansion arrived stating that Maha has been eradicated and the Heavenly Alliance has been completely destroyed. The Demon Suppression Bureau did a good job on this matter."
>
"Suppressing rebellions and demons is exactly what the Demon Suppression Office should do."
"Whether it was right or wrong, the Town Demon Division did a great job by wiping out the world's alliances. Shen Changqing is a very powerful person, and Shi Mohe arrogantly refined the luck of Nanyu Mansion and used ancient secret methods to ascend to the Domain Realm."
This resulted in frequent natural disasters and countless deaths in Nanyu Mansion.
Now that Shen Changqing can kill him, his strength is probably not weaker than yours!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xuanji turned his head to look at the other person.
Upon hearing this.
Dongfang Zhao nodded slightly: "In ancient times, there were no demons and monsters. How much power a Domain Realm cultivator possessed remains unknown. However, based on the intelligence from the Saint Buddha Mountain battle, the Domain Realm does possess the strength comparable to a Venerable Rank Guardian."
As for Shen Changqing, he could be killed. To be honest, even I might not be able to defeat him in a fight.
Moreover, martial artists have long lifespans, unlike the comparatively short lives of those who guard cities. With him around, stabilizing the Demon Suppression Division for a hundred years wouldn't be a problem.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
He also knows about things in the realm of expertise.
Yi Ning was the first to bring this news back, giving him some understanding of ancient times.
Grandmaster!
Domain realm!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor even suspected that beyond the realm of existence, there were other realms.
In that case, the town guard would truly be no match for a martial artist.

Martial artists of the Realm Domain are already comparable to great demons. If they break through the Realm Domain, there is no doubt that they will surpass the Venerable level.
Here's the translation of your content, remembering to keep HTML tags intact:

"A Guardian is a way of martial arts inheritance that breaks away from tradition, forging its own path. Compared to the thousands or even tens of thousands of years of exploration and development by warriors, the path of Guardians is still in its infancy. To continue developing it further will be extremely challenging."
The lineage of martial artists has long been complete. I believe that Shen Changqing possesses the inheritance of a martial artist.
As for his mastery, it was merely a starting point given his talent. The subsequent realms and even higher domains were not a problem at all.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“It seems you’ve been planning this all along.”
Gu Xuanji looked at the other person with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
That's it.
Dongfang Zhao looked as usual: "My time is limited, I still need to consider what needs to be considered. The Demon Suppression Division is currently in a state of flux, and it would be great to have a powerful individual who can stand alone."
"You make a good point."
Gu Xuanji's halted footsteps moved, walking towards the interior of the main hall.
Eastern Envoy followed closely behind.
Those words from the eunuchs attending him remained at the entrance of the hall, and they did not follow inside.
In the main hall.
The two sat down separately.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gu Xuanji looked at the scene inside the hall and smiled slightly: “Your Demon Suppression Division is much more impressive than my imperial palace.”
“Your Majesty jest, how can the humble Demon Suppression Division compare to the grandeur of the Imperial Palace.”
>
“It’s best to keep this quiet. Your Demon Suppression Division has wiped out the Heaven's Alliance, what is it that you desire”
Gu Xuanji changed the subject.
The Eastern Emperor spoke in a low voice: "Yesterday, a message came from the Nan You Mansion saying that the Town Demon Division of Bai Yue City needs to be rebuilt and hoped for funding to do so. Additionally, Shen Changqing stated that his achievements were insufficient and hoped that the imperial court would also provide some support."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Your Majesty is also aware that the Demon Suppression Division is currently running at a deficit. We don't even have enough to cover expenses, let alone the funds needed to rebuild the division, or even the extra merit points.
If the imperial court could also provide some assistance, that would be even better.
He was being tactful.
The meaning is already very clear.
"You're still as stubborn as ever," Gu Xuanji shook his head and chuckled. "Fine, the Defeat Moon City Demon Suppression Division was originally established to protect my Great Qin. Now that it needs rebuilding, the imperial court wouldn't be stingy."
I allocate five million taels of silver to rebuild the demon-suppressing agency in Baicyun City and address any subsequent issues.
As for military achievements, Shen Changqing has slain Shi Mohe and broken the alliance among all under heaven. He has been awarded ten thousand meritorious deeds. What do you think of appointing him to guard the east
“Your Majesty's decision is final, how dare I disagree!”
The Eastern Emperor evaded the question.
Okay, since you think there's no problem, let's just decide on that.
Gu Xuanji gave a faint smile, then the smile on his face receded slightly, and he became serious again.
"Matters concerning the Southern You Mansion can be put aside for now. With the Heavenly Alliance eliminating them, there won't be any issues in the short term."
The two remaining issues facing the Qin Dynasty now are the Zhou and the barbarians.
Now that the armies of all the government offices have arrived, it is time for me to personally lead the troops.
The Emperor leads the troops in person!
Eastern Emperor's face was also solemn.
As the other party said, compared to a personal expedition, dealing with Nan Youfu is just a small matter.
"Your Majesty's personal expedition, I believe it has already spread widely. The demonic clan has always wanted to break through my Great Qin. If Your Majesty leaves, the demonic clan will surely not let this opportunity pass."
His voice was grave.
For the demon clan, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
Gu Xuanji sneered: "Opportunity, I gave them the opportunity. I want to see how much power these demons and monsters still hide."
The imperial expedition is imminent. Eastern Command, will you remain in the Demon Suppression Department or accompany me
Here is the translation of your content:
Hearing this.
The Eastern Emperor's Mandate fell silent.
This is a difficult choice, it's not that he's afraid of death, the main reason is because the capital is also very important.
Especially the seals within the Demon Suppression Division, must not have any errors.
However.
The Eastern edict also did not immediately refuse.
"Your Majesty, what are your plans for dealing with the Sealed Demon Tower"
The capital is where the Qi of Great Qin resides. Powerful demons entering it would inevitably be suppressed by this Qi. With all the great Confucian scholars from the National Academy within, even if a great demon were to attack, it wouldn't be easy to break through the capital.

And, isn't the research at the Hidden Hall now about to bear fruit

Gu Xuanji gave the other person a deep look.
As long as monitoring is in place, the demon clan will have no chance to take advantage of the situation.

“Your Majesty knows the Inner Court well.”
The Eastern Decree spoke in a meaningful way.
The research conducted at the Hidden Heart Pavilion has yielded results. This news was kept secret, but the other party somehow also obtained some information.
Therefore, it can be seen.
Within the secluded residence of "Ténxìng Gé," there are surely also eyes and ears of the imperial court.
Here's the English translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But this member, it's absolutely impossible to be a core member.
Because the core members of Inward Focus are thoroughly vetted, there is absolutely no room for error.
This is inside.
It's not referring to the Wu Ge and Nei Wei Ge, but simply the Zhen Xie Ge and Feng Mo Ge.
If the people entering these two chambers are not trustworthy, then it will be very difficult to keep the important secrets of the two chambers safe.
At any time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Demon Suppression Division has to have aces up its sleeve.
Immediately.
Dongfang Zhao said, "The achievements of the Qinyin Pavilion can now be implemented, but it will take at least a month to cover the entire Qin Dynasty."
Moreover, once that result is implemented, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably usher in a major purge.
"Your Majesty, have you given this matter much thought"
"There is no progress without destruction. The Great Qin Empire has endured for over three hundred years, weathering countless storms and upheavals. Even when the demonic saints invaded in the past, I was able to inflict heavy losses upon them and send them reeling back. Eastern Guard has been stationed at the Demon Suppression Division for too long. "
> Too much stability, on the contrary, has diminished some of its edge.
Gu Xuanji's face was arrogant.
He was absolutely confident in the strength of the Qin Dynasty.
Dongfang Zhao fell silent for a moment, then nodded. “Your Majesty might be right. I have stayed in the Demon Suppression Division for too long and have lost some of my edge. Since Your Majesty doesn't see any problems, this minister naturally won't object.”
> By tomorrow, the Pingshen Pavilion will present the results. In a month, it will be able to cover the entire territory of Qin.
If Your Majesty wishes to personally lead the army, it would be best to wait another month.
A month later, the internal affairs of Qin stabilized, and he then led his army to attack Zhou.
Internally unstable.
>
It's easy to talk to outsiders.
Gu Xuan nodded: "Good, then I will wait for another month. During this period, if the Demon Suppression Division needs any assistance from the imperial court, please feel free to speak up. Troops are trained for a thousand days and used in a single day. Now that the imperial court has supported them for many years, it is time for them to contribute."
One month is neither long nor short, and it's not a big problem to delay it.
So.
He didn't object to Dongfang Zhao's words.
"Your servant obeys!"
"Alright, I have some time now. There are still government affairs to attend to in the court, so I shall return first."
Gu Xuanji got up.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Eastern Emperor also got up.
"You don't have to send anything. Just take care of the Demon Suppression Office."
"I bow to Your Majesty."
The Eastern Emperor bowed deeply in greeting.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, he watched Gu Xuanji leave.
After the other party left the hall, he still stood there, silently waiting for about half an hour before finally saying something.
"Come here!"
“What are your orders, Commander”
Qian Zhan walked out from the darkness.
Dongfang Zhao said faintly, "Check it out. See which one of the Zhenxie Pavilion and Fengmo Pavilion has a problem. Once you find out who it is, don't act rashly. Just compile a list and give it to me."
"Yes!"
The general in command, having received his orders, stepped down.
The vast hall fell silent once more.
The Eastern Emperor returned to his seat, his gaze somewhat profound.
The Demon Suppression Pavilion and the Sealing Demon Pavilion are the true foundation of the Demonic Suppression Bureau. Absolutely no unstable factors are allowed within them.
For many years.
The Demon Suppression Office was never an organization where someone could decide life and death at will.
As for him.
The Demon Suppression Division is the culmination of generations' efforts, and it cannot have any problems.
Even the imperial court's spies will be hunted down.
It's not necessary to have big actions, but at least you need to have a clear idea in your mind. it were going to swallow everyone whole.The ferocious aura made even the God King tremble in fear.The god is a ferocious beast!Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"Damn...
