Chapter 261 to 262: A Demon Infiltrates
of Raiden Shogun's power, he immediately thought of the Electro Archons.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!After all.>Leize is the town treasure of the Leize Divine Clan and...The imperial court's rewards came quickly.
It's only been half a month, and I've already arrived in Nansha City.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Meanwhile.
The rebuilding of the Demon Division in Bai Yue City actually started a long time ago.
Of course.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Silver was paid in advance by Shen Changqing. When the imperial funds arrived, he would take it back from them.
Such an approach, if done by an ordinary person, would definitely cause some trouble.
But if it were his own words, there wouldn't be so many problems.
>The strong.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Everywhere, he is privileged.
That's it.
There is no doubt.
“Ten thousand achievements, it can be considered to relieve the urgent need!”
Shen Changqing carried the 10,000 military exploits in his heart, and a big stone fell from his mind.
Achievements.
He is really lacking.
It's not just about building the Demon Suppression Prison that requires merit, subsequent task releases also require merit.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Just like Jiang An.
Some demon hunters may not be willing to take on those tasks that are settled with silver.
To put it simply.
All demon slayers prioritize increasing their strength.
The treasures that can be bought outside are ultimately few and far between.
>
When it comes to true abundance of resources, the Demon Suppression Division reigns supreme.
So.
To improve one's abilities, one needs to accumulate enough achievements. The rest are no small feat.
During this period, Shen Changqing went to the Demon Slayer Hall again and exchanged all the Yin-Qi on his body except for the demonic aura into merits.
In an instant.
Achievements grew from 10,000 to around 10,100.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This achievement value was a few hundred more than he had expected.
Head to the construction site for the Demon Suppression Prison.
Shen Changqing happened to see Jiang An squatting on the ground, fiddling with something.
That thing.
It's kind of like a square, flat box, or maybe something like a sheet of metal. He couldn't tell what material it was made of at first glance.
"Brother Jiang, what is this"
Shen Changqing asked directly.
As they spoke, his eyes fell upon the object.
It was a flat, dark surface, with strange carvings. Those carvings were somewhat similar to the runes engraved on the Demonic Suppression Seal. There were also several polygonal depressions on it, as if something was meant to be placed inside them.
"Brother Shen has arrived."
Only then did Jiang An raise his head.
As for Shen Changqing's coming and going without a trace, he had long been accustomed to it.
That's it.
Even though the voice was abrupt, Jiang An didn't find anything strange.
Hearing the other party's question, he smiled and said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Shen, do you remember when I told you that the Cénxín Pavilion borrowed a Demonic Detection Apparatus from the palace to research and wanted to mass-produce something similar They planned to use it to detect demons"
"Remember... could this be the Magic Detector!"
Shen Changqing instinctively replied, then looked at the inconspicuous thing in front of him in shock.
Jiang An wouldn't have mentioned the Magic Detection Device for no reason.
There is only one explanation right now.
What is before you is the so-called magic detection instrument.
In an instant.
He was thinking about other aspects again.
The sudden appearance of a Magic Detector here means something: the Qin Dynasty can now mass-produce Magic Detectors.
Thus, it will be the case.
Within the vast territories of the Qin Empire, all demons and evil spirits will be exposed without a place to hide.
Having figured out the connection, Shen Changqing couldn't help but be astonished.
Jiang An smiled and said, "That's right, this was researched using the Mo-testing Instrument, but it's not called the Mo-testing Instrument, and it's very different from the original Mo-testing Instrument."
I have spent many years in deep contemplation and research before finally mastering it.
You don't even have the qualifications to go higher up.
What is this called
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"The stellar chart."
"Star chart"
Shen Changqing's face was startled once again.
This name surprised him very much.
For a moment.
None of them could figure out the origin of the name.
This text is inside a paragraph tag.
Jiang An smiled and said, "Once Shen brother sees the star chart naming system, he will understand. Right now, all the star charts have been sent to the various demon division branches in towns and cities. It won't be long before they are fully activated."
"Only the branches of the Demon Suppressing Division would have access to the Star Chart, wouldn't they"
Shen Changqing frowned.
He thought that every level would have something like this to facilitate the monitoring of demon activity.
If it were only possessed by the Demon Suppression Division branch, its effect would be much smaller.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Upon hearing this.
Jiang An shook his head: "Brother Shen, don't underestimate the star chart. When that time comes, you'll understand. To be honest, I haven't participated in much research on the star chart, so after I got it, I found it to be more powerful than I imagined."
The star charts are currently being transported to various cities and haven't reached the point of true activation yet.
Keep what the other person said confidential.
Shen Changqing's heart was even more curious about the celestial chart.
"About when will the star chart be officially activated"
"Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"August 15th"
When Shen Changqing heard this time, his face looked a little strange.
It's a pity.
This world has no legend of Chang'e flying to the moon, nor any mention of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
August 15th is just another ordinary day.
He silently calculated the time. Compared to August 15th, there weren't many days left.
Then.
Then Shen Changqing asked again, "As for the astrolabe, where do you plan to place it"
“The capital sends word, the star chart is to be unified in the Council Hall. Only with the Commander-in-Chief present can we ensure the star chart remains safe.”
Jiang An spoke in a low voice.
"Right now, I've just received the celestial chart. If Brother Shen hadn't come, in a short while, I would have gone to find you. Since Brother Shen is here, let's go to the council hall together."
"Alright."
... Very soon.
>
The two of them went together to the council hall.
Having heard the news from the star chart, both Yunzun and Feiyun came to inquire.
As for Xiang Yuan and Fu Lan, they both returned to Yue City and are no longer in Nan Hai City.
"This is the star chart"
"Sigh, the Confidentiality Department of the Qianshen Pavilion really does a good job keeping secrets. I didn't get any advance notice at all."
Yúnzūn and Fèiyún expressed their deep feelings.
They are not members of the Hidden Palace and have no knowledge of astrology.
Looking at the patterns above, a strange feeling arose in my heart.
It is obvious.
The news about Tain-Xin Pavilion producing horoscopes has not spread.
Only a small number of people truly understand the existence of astrology.
From then on, things were much simpler.
Day by day, time passed. The Demon Suppression Division in Bai Yue Town was almost rebuilt, and the Zhenmo Prison in Nanhai City also began to take shape.
Although it's not finished yet, it's at least starting to take shape.
The star chart is of great importance.
Almost always, a guardian stays in the Council Hall to ensure the Celestial Chart remains safe.
Despite all this, the astrological charts haven't revealed anything extraordinary.
Not long.
It is already August 14th.
This day.
Shen Changqing and others were all gathered inside the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on the star chart.
"Jiang brother, when you said on August 15th we open the star chart, do we have a specific time"
As soon as it reaches the hour of Zi, the star chart opens.
This is a good translation!
Jiang An said in a low voice.
After a moment's pause, he fixed his gaze intently on the person before him.
"Brother Shen, time is almost up. I suggest that we gather everyone currently in the Demon Suppression Division at the main hall to avoid any unforeseen incidents."
>
"What do you mean"
> "Shen brother, you'll know when the time comes."
Jiang An sold a riddle.
Shen Changqing looked at Yun Zun and the others, finally nodding.
“Alright, I’ll have the people from the Magic Division of Nanhai Town gather here. Also, are there anyone from Zhenxie Pavilion going to Baiyue City and Poshan City now”
He thought of the two other branches of the Demon Suppression Division.
Activate the star chart.
It should be operated by someone who is dedicated to it.
Jiang An said, "What Brother Shen said is right. As soon as the star chart arrived, people had already been sent to each branch of the Demon Suppression Division."
"I see."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing nodded.
Since the other party said that, then he has no reason to refuse.
Assembling the Demon Suppression Division isn't a problem.
With the order given, everyone who was still in the Demon Suppression Bureau gathered in the Council Hall, including the demon exorcists stationed at the Library Pavilion.
For a while.
This is just a placeholder. Please provide me with the text you would like to translate! I'm ready when you are.
In the great hall, there were hundreds of people gathered.
And this.
It's only the people currently staying at the Demon Suppression Office. If you include those who have gone to various places to carry out missions, the number is far more than just a few hundred.
After all, it's important to maintain stability in a district.
Hundreds of demon slayers, after all, were still lacking.
They were suddenly summoned.
Everyone's face was filled with puzzled expressions.
Observing the doubts in others' eyes, Jiang An spoke loudly: "Don't be surprised, everyone. I have gathered you all here for an important matter. I hope everyone will stay put and not move. Anyone who leaves on their own accord, I have reason to suspect that you have betrayed the Demon Suppressing Division."
Therefore, stay put and do not act rashly. Wait until the time of Zi (midnight), then everything will be fine.
Waiting for Jiang An to finish speaking.
Shen Changqing calmly spoke: "Elder Jiang's words are my meaning, I hope everyone cooperates and doesn't make things unpleasant."
Everyone's face turned solemn.
If it were said that many people in Jiang'an didn't know about him and didn't take his words to heart, then no one would dare not listen to Shen Changqing's words.
Speaking of which.
In the town of Nanhai, within the Demon Administration bureau, this Southern Nether Mansion Garrison Commander's prestige was even higher than that of Yun Zun, the one in charge.
The scene fell silent.
Although many had doubts in their hearts, they didn't voice them.
Time slips away.
Jiang An took a look at the time, it was almost time, so he came to the star chart placed in the middle of the main hall.
For placing a star chart.
The Demon Suppression Division specially built a half-human-high pedestal in the middle of the main hall.
Immediately.
He solemnly took out a jade box from his bosom.
Upon opening the jade box, a surge of powerful energy emanated from within. Shen Changqing fixed his gaze upon it and saw several azure stones placed inside.
When I saw those stones.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He suddenly thought of something, and his heart skipped a beat.
Spirit stones!
A priceless treasure that has only been seen in the Wu Ge case files but never truly encountered.
"Jiang brother, is the thing in your hand a spirit stone"
Shen Changqing spoke up, wanting to confirm.
Hearing this.
Jiang An nodded: "Yes, this is a spirit stone."
As they spoke, he had already taken out the spirit stones, placing them one by one into the rhombus-shaped recesses of the astrolabe.
Let's get started!
In the capital, within the Demon Suppression Division, Dongfang Zhao gazed at the celestial chart before him, his expression unusually solemn.
This is a star chart.
Compared to other departments' celestial charts, this one is much larger, and the engraved patterns are even more peculiar and enigmatic.
The members of the Qinshin Pavilion, who had long prepared for this, took out the corresponding spirit stones and inlaid them one by one.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
With the spirit stone embedded.
The vast star chart was suddenly filled with azure light dancing along its lines, then instantly forming a complete picture.
Next.
A beam of azure light shot straight up from the astrolabe, piercing through the ceiling and even bypassing the temple's confinement. It surged directly into the vast expanse of Qingming skies.
In the darkness.
Only to see a vast beam of azure light from the capital city piercing the heavens, all darkness seemed to slowly dissipate under this beam of blue light.
After the azure light surged into the sky.
Less than a quarter of an hour.
In the distant night sky, a second streak of blue light surged into the heavens.
The third bundle!
The fourth bunch!
Beams of emerald light shot up into the sky, like pillars reaching heavenward.
Southern Ghost Mansion.
In the Hall of Council, within the Demon Division of Nanhai Town.
>
All eyes were on the astrolabe.
Since the spirit stone was embedded, an hour has passed, but there's still no movement.
When others were confused, Jiang An was also under tremendous pressure.
"Please don't cause any trouble!"
He silently prayed in his heart.
Although he understood the celestial chart, this was the first time he had ever personally activated it.
Therefore.
Even Jiang An couldn't be sure if there was something wrong with the celestial chart.
If there were truly problems, then this research conducted by the Demon Suppression Division would be considered a complete failure.
Just as he was praying silently.
Suddenly.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On the star map, embedded spirit stones are brimming with spiritual energy, which manifests as a bluish light flowing along the etched patterns.
The next moment.
All the lines lit up, a surging green light shot directly from the astrolabe, piercing through the main hall and heading straight into the sky.
The sudden change caused everyone's faces to change drastically.
Shen Changqing followed the azure light upward, as if the heavens themselves were painted with a faint blue.
In the azure light.
He sensed a surge of powerful spiritual energy flowing.
“Star chart!”
Shen Changqing thought to himself.
He vaguely understood the origin of the name.
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help translate it into English while keeping the HTML tags intact.
Less than an hour.
Throughout the vast lands of Qin, azure starlight surged into the sky, directly crashing against the heavens above.
If you stood high above, you could see that azure light pillars covered the entire Qin Dynasty.
"What exactly is that"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In a desolate wasteland, Wang Mu Bai gazed at the azure glow above, a sense of unease washing over him.
This feeling.
It made him very unhappy.
Even.
For a moment, I wanted to strike and destroy the green light.
However.
Although Wang Mubai had such an impulse in his heart, he did not really make a move.
He would not risk himself before understanding the purpose of Qin.
Please note that without any context within the `
` tags, it's impossible to provide a meaningful translation. If you have text inside the `
` tags, please provide it so I can accurately translate it for you!
I've looked at it a few times.
Wang Mubai retracted his gaze and looked at Tan Tianji beside him.
"You are from the Demon Suppression Division, do you know what these azure lights are"
"Um... This subordinate is also unaware."
Tan Tianji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Although he is a member of the Demon Suppression Office, he is only an elder of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many confidential matters may not be accessible to him.
If there is anyone here who knows me.
You will find that.
The former Minister of Internal Affairs, appeared much younger than before. He carried no trace of aging, his blood seemed to surge with vitality, striking awe into those who beheld him.
It's very obvious.
Tan Tianji betrayed the Zhenmo Division and joined Wang Mubai, and he also got what he wanted.
Upon seeing the green glow, his expression grew grave.
"The appearance of azure light is certainly unusual, sir. Should we still go looking for Shen Changqing"
To be honest.
Today, Shen Changqing's changes have surprised Tan Tianji.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Although he had long known the other party was talented and had great hopes of breaking limits in the future.
I didn't expect that either.
The opponent didn't just break the limit, but grew to a more terrifying state.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Wang Mu Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm and serene.
> Shi Mohe heard that he had already broken through to the realm, and his strength was comparable to that of a great demon in our clan. He still died at the hands of Shen Changqing.
Such a powerful being, I would also like to see with my own eyes.
This is a translation example.
What kind of fate could allow an ant to grow to such a stature
Facing the strong.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He had nothing but interest in his heart, not the slightest fear.
So what if it's comparable to a great demon.
>
Even if you could kill someone as powerful as a Great Demon, what difference would it make
>That is it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Wang Mubai didn't care.
"I hope his strength is strong enough, otherwise the Southern Gloom Mansion should have one more heavenly disaster!"
A hint of a smile played on his lips.
But this smile, in Tan Tianji's eyes, involuntarily brought a chill to his heart.
"My lord, I dare to ask, what is your purpose in creating natural disasters in Qin"
“Some things are not your concern, so don't ask. This is the last time, next time there won't be such a simple solution.”
Wang Mubai glanced at the other person.
That glance.
Let Tan Tianji's body turn cold.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Although he made a breakthrough in his strength, in front of these powerful individuals, he was still no different from an ant.
A word.
In an instant, it dispelled the curiosity in its heart.
It is now.
All celestial charts have been activated, and when the azure light surged into the sky, all the lights were interwoven together.
At that moment.
The darkness above the Great Qin dynasty was dispelled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The vast world, as if directly from night to day.
Such a vision shocked everyone.
Just as they were astonished.
Suddenly.
A greenish glow descended from the heavens, like meteors falling, spreading in all directions, densely packed, it was impossible to see clearly at a glance.
Inside the Demon Division of Nanhai Town.
Please note that ">" is not a valid text string. It seems like you're trying to include HTML tags in your request. If you have actual text within the tags, please provide it and I'll be happy to translate it for you.
Similar to before, several beams of azure light descended from the heavens and landed on some people inside the hall.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"What's going on"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What happened
Seeing the green light falling on them, those people were all astonished. The people around them also had strange expressions.
It is obvious.
Blue light wouldn't fall for no reason.
Jiang An saw the blue light fall, and immediately retreated to Shen Changqing's side, shouting loudly at the same time.
"Shen Zhen, those covered in green light are all demons and demon-cultivators. This is a treason by the Demon Suppression Division, quickly execute them!"
Among the people shrouded in green light, some cried out their innocence, while others immediately turned and fled.
Seeing this scene.
Shen Changqing's original doubts in his heart had all disappeared at this moment.
He slapped his face, and his soul power surged out of his body, landing directly on those who were fleeing.
A terrifying power descends.
It made those people's heads explode, leaving headless corpses scattered on the ground.
Meanwhile.
Those exorcists standing with those covered in emerald light kept their distance at first.
Although it's unclear whether Jiangzuo is telling the truth, it's best to keep our distance.
Suddenly.
Those people were ostracized.
Especially when he saw the headless corpses lying on the ground, his face turned even paler with fear.
Shen Changqing walked slowly to the remaining few people.
He said nothing, but instead covered these people with his soul power, carefully sensing and searching.
Finally.
In the depths of these people's blood and energy, there is a hidden chill.
That kind of aura, even Shen Changqing was all too familiar with.
"Betray the Demon Suppression Division, die!"
With a single palm strike, he unleashed terrifying power that suppressed everything. Before those remaining could even utter a word, they were all pulverized into a bloody pulp by this force.
Now.
The azure glow of the sky has gradually faded away.
After killing those who colluded with demons, Shen Changqing turned to Jiang An, waiting for the other party's explanation.
"The astrolabe is a tool for monitoring demons. Now that the astrolabes across Qin are activated, it's as if an invisible protective net has been added above Qin. As long as any demon enters this protective net, it will cause the astrolabe to react."
At that time, when the blue light descended, all demons within the Qin territory would be tainted by it, and they would no longer be able to hide their whereabouts.
Jiang An paused here, then walked to the astrolabe.
"Shen brother, look here."
He pointed at the astrolabe.
>
Shen Changqing and the others just happened to see a phantom image floating above the star chart.
There is a city.
There are mountains.
>
There is a plain.
Besides, there are many red dots.
This phantom is actually the manifestation within the jurisdiction of the South Sea City. Mountains, rivers, and even each city and town are displayed here. Those red dots represent the number of demons.
A red dot represents a demon or a demon person.
The brighter the red dot, the stronger the demon's power.
Jiang An patiently explained.
After hearing the other's words, not only Shen Changqing, but even those demon hunters who had just been startled, were all staring in astonishment at the phantom and the red dot on it.
If that's the case, then astrology would be far too powerful.
The moment of truth has arrived.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
All demons and monsters, none can escape detection. They have no chance to hide.
Though Shen Changqing was shocked, he didn't show it outwardly. He simply stared at the phantom in front of him.
"Where is Nansha City"
"Here."
Jiang An pointed at a city in the middle of the phantom.
Only seeing that the city inside also had a large number of red dots, roughly counting them, there were at least dozens of points.
Sheng Changqing's face was cold, and he immediately ordered.
“Everyone, within half an hour, kill all the demons and demon-people hiding in Nanhai City with all your might. Then you can go to each district and purge the demons and demon-people hiding there. I want them to have no place to hide in Nanyou Prefecture!”
I will have Tianchawei deliver the relevant information to you as soon as possible.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone took their orders and then turned to leave.
They all understand.
Tonight, Nan You Mansion is destined to have a great battle.
> It's not just Nanyou Mansion.
>
Throughout the entire Qin Dynasty, tonight will be the start of complete chaos.
But as long as all the demons and monsters are exterminated, then the Qin Dynasty will recover stability, and it will be more stable than ever before.
>
After everyone else had left.
Shen Changqing's gaze fell on a certain location of the phantom, his brows involuntarily furrowed.
This is the end of a paragraph.
“You said that the brighter the red dot, the stronger the strength. Then what level of strength would this black dot have”
Upon hearing this.
Jiang An also discovered the red dot at this time, his face instantly turned grim.
"Light red is a low-level, pale red is an average-level, normal red is a killing level, deep red is a low-rank demon, crimson with a hint of black is a mid-rank demon, black with a hint of red is a high-rank demon, completely black is a great demon, and black that turns purple is a demon saint."
Shen Changqing's eyes were cold, staring intently at the black spot.
