Chapter 62: Inferno Ascends
packed away.He looked at Situ Bei: "Situ brother, are you here this time just because the Demon Suppression Division has something to send over, or is there something else""A few days ago, Master Shen...Shen Changqing didn't let the corpses on the ground disturb his inner peace.
The closer, the better.
The more oppressive the sinister aura became.
As his perception spread outward, there was utter silence around him, not a hint of life.
Suddenly.
Shen Changqing stood still.
A sinister aura permeated the surroundings, as if everything had been put on hold.
He could be sure.
The demons that exist here must have discovered our trail.
But out of fear for its own strength, it dared not make even the slightest move.
This is the end of the paragraph.
Time passes by little by little.
Shen Changqing remained motionless, and the demonic apparition did as well.
Here's the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Both are waiting.
>Hoping the other side will make a mistake.
For a long time, the demons and monsters remained motionless. But Shen Changqing was becoming increasingly impatient waiting.
"Alright, since you don't want to come out, this official will see how long you can hold on!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A palm strike roared into the air, a scorching gust of wind sweeping outward like a heat wave, instantly setting the surrounding buildings ablaze.
Then.
Shen Changqing added a few more palm strikes, intensifying the burning flames.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Soon, the entire courtyard was engulfed in flames.
Demons may not fear flames, but that doesn't mean fire has no effect on them. Even though demons are intangible and formless, once the temperature rises to a certain point, they too have to retreat.
A fire broke out.
Shen Changqing stood in the courtyard, his qi protecting him from the cold.
At the same time, perception amplifies, noticing the sounds and movements in the courtyard.
One breath!
Two breaths!
The raging fire crackled, the sound of burning wood echoing through the air. The oppressive aura was somewhat dispersed by the heat, but it remained largely unchanged.

As the fire grew fiercer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even with his qi protecting him, Shen Changqing could feel that his breathing was a little labored.
However.
He remained motionless, locked in a standoff with the demon lurking somewhere nearby.
Boom boom boom—
As the fire raged, the more vulnerable outbuildings finally collapsed.
>
At the moment of the house collapse, a black shadow suddenly dashed out of the fire and fled into the distance.
Finally out!
Shen Changqing's eyes were cold, and he directly chased after him.
Tian Wu's true qi exploded, his body as swift as lightning. In just a few breaths, he closed the distance between them.
Next, a palm strike was slashed through the air.
The palm strike hammered out, sending the black shadow in front crashing to the ground.
As the shadows fell, Shen Changqing took a step forward, his figure falling at the same time. The black shadow that landed on the ground jumped up, and he instantly drew his sword, engaging in a fierce fight with it.
It is now.
Utilizing the ability to see in the dark.
Shen Changqing saw clearly what he was dealing with.
A figure dressed as a hospital attendant, but unlike others, their expression was stiff, and their movements were like those of a ghost.
For a familiar scene, he naturally wouldn't forget it.
"Possess!"
“The demons of the Eternal Alliance, besides stealing demon blood essence, also have the strength to send a vengeful and sinister monster to disrupt my Lin'an City.”
This tag is used to close a paragraph.
Shen Changqing's face was solemn, and his offensive did not falter for a moment.
The destruction of the Tianchawei outpost was most likely the work of this vengeful and terrifying monster before us.
Otherwise, with the strength of the Tiancha Guard outpost, a single ghost-level monster wouldn't have been able to wipe them out so easily.
On the contrary, it was a vengeful and eerie monster.
With the strength of the Tiān Chá Wèi outpost, it's simply impossible to resist.
Ah—
The long blade slashed through the air, its blade energy cleaving through the darkness with a piercing howl. The demonic figure vanished from sight, as if seeking refuge elsewhere.
Shen Changqing moved ahead of it, his sword strike ineffective. He closed the distance in a heartbeat and suddenly struck with a palm.
Bang!!
The demonic being's body flew horizontally through the air.
That palm strike directly caused its chest to cave in.
Next.
Shen Changqing once again swung his blade, beheading the demon with a single strike.
The moment the skull hit the ground.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The demon fled from the body, wanting to escape elsewhere.
"Sir!"
A constable saw the commotion and hurried over. The demon instantly changed direction and flew toward the constable.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing's face changed.
“Get out of the way—”
The moment the words left his mouth, it was already too late.
The constable was caught unprepared and possessed by a demonic spirit, his body briefly stiffening.
Before the demonic entity could fully control his body, Shen Changqing had already struck with a sword, cleaving heavily at the opponent's neck.
Although the blade is not favorable, with the Heavenly Martial True Qi cooperating, it can cut iron like mud without any problem.
It was just one cut.
That was the head of the jailer that fell.
The newly possessed demon immediately detached itself from its host, seeking a new vessel.
Shen Changqing's anger flared, and he roared angrily, "You still want to leave!"
With a forceful wrist flick, the longsword transformed into a streak of black light, piercing through the air and instantly pinning the demonic beast to the ground.
Next.
Without giving the other party a chance to react, Shen Changqing had already moved closer, unleashing a full-force palm strike that landed directly on the demon's body.
"Ouch!!"
The demon let out a shrill scream, its body dissolving like smoke under the force of a single palm strike.
A familiar feeling washed over me.
Shen Changqing looked at the panel below. The killing value increased by more than twenty points, and his heart and mind completely relaxed.
Demons are eerie and it is difficult to tell if they have truly died.
The killing value is different.
If demons are not killed, they will not provide any kill value. If they receive irreparable damage, they may provide a portion of the kill value, but it will definitely not be much.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now the panel directly surges by over twenty points of killing value, which is completely what a full-fledged resentment monster can give.
So.
When the kill value is credited, it proves that the demons have died.
Only then did those few yamen servants who had been trembling and looking terrified on the spot dare to slowly walk forward.
“Big, Mister—”
"How is it in other places"
Shen Changqing sheathed his sword and looked at the several yamen officers, one of whom was Zhou Yang from before.
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Yang cast a glance at the bodies of his comrades on the ground with the corner of his eye, then withdrew his gaze and bowed respectfully: "Reporting to my lord, most of the fires in various places have been extinguished. My subordinates saw movement here, so we came to take a look."
But he hadn't expected that the commotion was caused by Shen Changqing and a demon.
>To this.
Zhou Yang was also fortunate that he wasn't the fastest runner. Otherwise, the one lying on the ground with his body separated would have been him.
Shen Changqing looked at the few people, then again at the corpse on the ground, shaking his head slightly.
The moment he was possessed by a demon, he was already dead. However, since he died in the line of duty, we will bring him back for a proper burial. If his family is found, they will be given the appropriate compensation according to regulations.
"The Master is wise."
Facing Zhou Yang's flattery, Shen Changqing shook his head silently.
No matter what, that dead clerk did his best. His death had something to do with himself, so providing him with a pension was the only thing he could do.
I felt a little regret.

He continued, "You continue to patrol and see where there are any abnormalities. Additionally, accelerate the fire suppression efforts. Leave the rest to me."
“At your service!”
Zhou Yang bowed.
Shen Changqing glanced at him, soaring through the air and disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Yang, seeing this, turned to look at the person behind him: "Wu Er, take Zhou Xing's body back. The rest of you follow me."
After slaying the vengeful monster and harvesting a wave of kill points, Shen Changqing returned to the yamen.
The commotion outside the city gradually subsided.
>
Time flies.
Very soon.
Then, as the eastern fish-shaped clouds began to spit out white, they started driving away the darkness from the world.
"It's over!"
Standing on the roof of the yamen, Shen Changqing pondered to himself.
The city of Lin'an before me still had wisps of smoke rising, but it was no longer shrouded in the suffocating gloom of yesterday.
The officers patrolling everywhere were also gradually returning.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, Shen Changqing leaped down and returned to the inner hall.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
"Master, how was last night's situation" Shi Qingsheng, who had been resting in a side room inside the main hall, immediately got out of bed at dawn and saw Shen Changqing dropping from the roof.
Now, he still has a pale complexion and heavy dark circles under his eyes. He looks like he hasn't slept enough.
Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow. "Didn't sleep well last night"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“My lord jokes. How could I possibly sleep last night, given the state of affairs”
Shi Qingsheng smiled wryly.
Last night was just the same, I couldn't sleep. Even curled up under the covers, I couldn't stop shivering.
If it weren't for the bright daylight now, he wouldn't dare leave his room.
Please provide me with the text you want me to translate. I can help with that! Just paste it in and I'll do my best.
No way.
An ordinary person is so weak in front of demons.
Shen Changqing said, "Last night, the demons were almost killed by this official. In the next period of time, I believe Lin'an City will be much more peaceful."
This did console Shi Qingsheng.
>
The struggle for demon essence blood has come to an end, needless to say.
The Eternal Alliance's stronghold here has also been thoroughly cleansed, and with the elimination of numerous demons, it's impossible for the Eternal Alliance to invest too much more power here.
To be blunt.
Lin'an City was just a tiny place. Besides the 100,000 people who might be tempting to demons, it had no other attractions.
If the Eternal Alliance is truly going to pour all its resources into this place, just to vent some anger, then that would be a bit too much hotheadedness.
In Shen Changqing's view.
The Eternal Alliance could grow to its current size, it would definitely not act out of anger.
As long as there are adults around, what's there to fear from demons
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shi Qingsheng smiled awkwardly, and after finishing his sentence, he fell silent again.
He had almost forgotten.
Shen Changqing was not a real magistrate, but only an acting magistrate before the new magistrate arrived.
That is to say.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One day, the other party will leave.
During the two conversations, Zhang Yue had already returned with his people.
"Speak within the main hall. Everyone else, rest." When he saw Zhang Yue, Shen Changqing spoke directly.
After he finished speaking, he strode into the inner hall.
This is not a translation, but rather a simple text manipulation. The input you provided has no content within the > tags. Therefore, I cannot translate it.If you have actual text you'd like me to translate, please provide it!
Zhang Yue and Shi Qingsheng saw this, and they were both flustered as they followed him in.
The remaining clerks then dispersed.
The inner hall.
Shen Changqing sat in the chief seat, looking at the two people in front of him: “You both sit down first, and then Zhang Yue tell me the specific situation. How much damage did the city suffer last night” you'd like me to translate!If it's used to supplement consumption, there's no problem.Although I'm not afraid of him catching up, being chased like this all the time isn't a solution. I have to find...
