Chapter 51: The Demonic Cultivator of the Everlasting Allian
esources of top-tier sects are extraordinary. If the Yunlong Divine Clan could divide a portion, it would be a good thing.Although the Cloud Dragon Divine Clan did not participate in the Dark Spirit S...Battle.
It has already begun at Zhang's family.
Facing numerous corpse puppets, Shen Changqing remained unfazed. With every step he took, sword light flashed, and with the flashing sword light, heads rolled to the ground.
Corpses are tough.
Even for a warrior close to the Outer Gang Realm, it would be utterly insignificant.
Especially since Shen Changqing knew the weakness of the corpse puppet, it was even easier to deal with.
Nearly every strike landed with pinpoint accuracy on the corpse puppet's neck. Although his blade had been corroded while slaying Zhuang Mingyuan, rendering it less sharp than usual, under the cover of true energy, it could still cleave through steel like butter.
The corpse puppet's flesh and blood body was utterly defenseless.
The battle started very quickly.
The ending came just as quickly.
In just a short moment, the hall was filled with corpses. Each body had been beheaded and decayed to an appalling degree, looking as if they had been dead for days. The stench was overpowering, making anyone who inhaled it feel sick.
Shen Changqing looked at the dilapidated Zhang family, his expression unchanged.
The Zhang family are merely puppets. I must find out who the demon is controlling them!
Kill the entire family.
>
The corpse was refined into a corpse puppet.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, this is a grave crime punishable by the death penalty and the execution of nine generations.
In fact.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Once you are associated with demons, there are few laws that do not prescribe the extermination of your entire clan.
Perceiving diffusion, Shen Changqing stood still without moving. He wanted to find the location of the demon man.
Zhang's residence had special means of coverage, capable of shielding that sinister aura.

As long as you step into the Zhang family, it's as if you have completely broken through this barrier.
Even if demons hide deeply, there will surely be subtle traces revealed. It just depends on whether one can find them.
Suddenly.
This is the end of a paragraph.
A gust of cold wind swept in from behind.
Shen Changqing turned around and slashed with his sword, just in time to see a disheveled figure retreat.
"It's that weird creature again!"
At first glance, he immediately recognized the identity of the demonic creature that had attacked him. It was none other than the eerie ghost-rank fiend that had ambushed him at the yamen that night.
This is a test.
We have arrived at the present day.
Shen Changqing was certain.
That night's sneak attack by the demons was indeed from the Zhang family.
To be precise.
...originated from the hands of a demon hidden within the Zhang family.

Now that the ominous creature had attacked, it proved to itself that killing the corpse puppet was also seen by that demon.
>
Even so.
The other party did not appear easily.
Thus, the hidden strength of that demon-suppressing expert is readily apparent.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Stand still.
Shen Changqing's senses spread out, wanting to find the source of that sinister aura.
Suddenly, his body moved.
The long sword slashed toward an empty spot, and at that moment, the corpse of a woman was revealed.
Heaven-Martial True Qi clung to the blade, its scorching heat like raging flames, instantly splitting the female corpse in two.
The female corpse was murdered.
A familiar scent flowed into Shen Changqing's body along the blade.
At the same time.
A cold, sharp breath slashed through the air, striking him from behind.
Such a swift and merciless attack, as if it had been waiting in the wings all along, simply seeking an opportune moment.
Shen Changqing didn't have time to turn around, and the Tianwu zhenqi in his dantian exploded.
>
--- Hum ---
A thin layer of qi rose from his body, covering him completely.
Boom!!
That fierce attack collided violently with the qi.
After a half-breath pause, the Qi was torn apart.
However, Shen Changqing also took this opportunity to turn around. With the speed of lightning, his long sword slashed out, and a black shadow retreated explosively.
"The demon of the Eternal Alliance!"
The long blade slanted towards the ground, his eyes fixed on the person before him.
There was a withered old man in black, his skin covered in blue-black scales except for his face. Behind him swayed a thin, barbed tail.
This appearance has completely transcended the boundaries of humanity.
When Shen Changqing stared at him, the demonic cultivator who resembled an old man also stared back at him coldly.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
Narrow and long eyes held a venomous, cold stare.
"Pre-Heaven's External Qi!"
The aura that had just risen sent a wave of apprehension through Wen Rong's heart.
The vengeful spirit that the Eternal Alliance sent was defeated by the authorities, which gave him a great understanding of Shen Changqing's strength.
>
The apprentice exorcist sent by the Demon Suppression Office.
He wasn't a true apprentice demon slayer, but a hidden Xuanjie demon slayer whose cultivation realm was at the Innate Internal Qi stage.
But now—
Wen Rong recalled the energy that had stopped his attack. He instantly overturned his previous guess.
Innate internal energy
That's just a smokescreen!
>
The opponent's true realm is that of a master of the innate external energy. Above that are those known as martial arts masters.
Because the ghosts in Gǔyuè Village were only of the "Yu" grade, the Demon Suppression Bureau dispatched a Xuan-rank demon slayer. That was obviously impossible; even if the Demon Suppression Bureau had ample manpower, it wouldn't make sense to have so many personnel dedicated to such a task.
In a moment.
Wen Rong then thought of some things.
He was coming at me!
A demonic beast of the Netherworld class wouldn't attract a Xuan-rank demon hunter, so a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance would surely draw one.
He thought he was hiding well in the Zhang family.
Now it seems that everything has been exposed to the Demon Suppression Agency long ago.
Everything the other party did before was just a smokescreen, the real purpose was to lure me out.
And.
Even if he doesn't come out himself, this Zhang family stronghold is bound to be taken down sooner or later.
“The Zhang family, they were the ones you turned into corpse puppets. What's the purpose of establishing a base in Lin’an City Is it for the demonic essence blood, or something else entirely If you tell me, I might consider giving you a way out.”
At the same time Shen Changqing sensed Wen Rong, he also asked his own doubts.
“When you're dead, you'll know!”
Wen Rong's smile turned ferocious, the next instant she charged towards Shen Changqing.
The moment he made his move, the originally not-so-obvious sinister aura suddenly erupted.
The hidden mechanisms set up in the Zhang family mansion were directly pushed to their limits in the face of this sinister aura.
Those outside the Zhang residence, including Cui Cheng, all changed color when the sinister aura erupted.
“This sinister aura is incredibly strong!”
"So strong, even stronger than the demons in Gu Yue Village, it could be a vengeful spirit!"
"Within the Zhang family, there were actually demons hidden!"
Every person's face was grim.
They were unaware of the means Zhang family used to conceal their sinister aura. The sinister aura that erupted now was already weakened.
Even so.
That sinister aura also frightened Cui Cheng and the others.
Through the half-open door, one could only see glimpses of the courtyard, but not what was happening inside the hall.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now, with the sinister atmosphere intensifying, no one dares to approach easily.
Do not enter Zhang's family.
Naturally, you wouldn't be able to see what was happening inside the Zhang family.
Zhao Yue's pretty face changed slightly, that sinister aura made her feel uneasy: "Senior Brother, will Lord Shen be alright"
“Even if Master Shen hadn't broken through to the Xiantian realm, he would definitely be at the peak of Tongmai. Right now, although the demonic aura is strong, it's probably around the boundary between Tongmai and Xiantian.”
Even if Master Shen were to lose, he would still have no problem escaping.
Since he has us guarding here, allowing him to enter alone, he must have absolute confidence.
Cui Cheng casually explained.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Actually, he didn't believe much of what he said.
Demons are hard to deal with.
Warriors of the same realm, wanting to deal with monsters of the same realm, the latter have a much higher chance of winning than the former.
And the demonic beings from Zhang's family, there is a certain possibility that they are at the congenital realm.
If one is in the circulation pulse realm, everyone rushing in still has a chance to kill him. But if it's the innate realm, even ten late-stage circulation pulse experts going in would just be improving his meal.
Therefore.
Before the situation was clear, Cui Cheng had no intention of putting himself in danger.
>
It’s not just him.
>
Neither did the others from other factions have such thoughts.
Anyway, according to Shen Changqing’s meaning, they just need to guard here, and as for what happens inside, no one knows.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the other party truly died at the hands of demons, when the Demon Suppression Division comes to investigate, there will be excuses to deflect blame.
As long as you are in the right.
The Demon Suppression Division cannot kill at will.
After all, everyone has their own forces behind them. If the Demon Suppression Division kills indiscriminately, it will also have some negative impact on the martial arts world.
Don't look at the current Demon Suppression Office, it is indeed killing people like hemp.
But the people killed by the other party, and the destroyed forces, all have traceable origins.
I overheard several people talking.
As the head catcher, Zhang Yue was also tense.
>
Although Shen Changqing is currently acting as the county magistrate, he is still considered a protective umbrella within the yamen. A few days ago, monsters attacked the yamen, and they were all repelled by him single-handedly.
If the other party were to fall in with the Zhang family, then the government's position would be very awkward.
And.
As someone who was personally promoted by Shen Changqing, if the other party died too quickly, my position as head catcher would likely be insecure.
No matter which aspect you consider.
Zhang Yue didn't want Shen Changqing to have an accident.

But he was only a body tempering realm martial artist, he didn't even have the qualifications to intervene in demonic affairs, so now he could only watch helplessly.
As for Cui Cheng and others.
Zhang Yue did have some understanding of those. They were prominent martial arts factions within the Guangyuan Mansion, not something that a small police captain like himself could command.
Bang!!
In the grand hall, two figures moved like phantoms, engaging in a deadly duel. At times, cold steel flashed; at other times, waves of heat surged between them.
Shen Changqing used the Seven Killing Sword Technique for normal attacks and the Iron Sand Palm for close combat. His Tianwu Gangqi was pushed to its limit.
Though the demon in front of him was not weak, having fought until now, his body had also gained some embellishment.
The same.
Wen Rong now also has quite a few scars on her body.
At this moment, he was basically certain that Shen Changqing had not reached the realm of innate Qi Gathering. Instead, he had cultivated a martial art that projected his Qi outwards, causing him to mistakenly believe he was a powerful Qi Gathering expert.
