Chapter Twenty-Six: Abandoning Plans

ultaneously in perception, merging into a bizarre picture.Below the city walls, the city gate was wide open.Stern-faced guards stood on either side of the city gate.Shen Changqing arrived at the city...The Eastern Emperor looked down at the two people below and asked, "You may have doubts in your hearts. Why would the court lend a helping hand, but allow the infected people to fend for themselves"

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing and Wei Lan looked at each other, both maintaining a consistent silence.

Upon seeing this.

Dongfang Zhao's expression remained calm: "It's understandable to have such doubts. However, back when the plague ravaged over two hundred years ago, the Imperial Court did take action. In the 132nd year of the Qin Dynasty, there was a demonic disturbance that caused heavy casualties among the populace."

Many corpses piled up, and finally the plague emerged.

That year, the Demon Suppression Division sent a large number of experts to suppress the demonic creatures rampaging in Guangyuan Mansion. Countless demon slayers fell in battle, and even many garrisoned commanders perished.

But what you need to be clear about is that in the 132nd year of the Qin Dynasty, there were demons and plagues, but it wasn't until the 136th year that the plague was truly eradicated. During those few years, the court had been trying every means to solve the plague.

But there was no way, the plague was too strong. From imperial physicians to village folk doctors, they were all helpless against it.

What followed was even worse: infected people fled, spreading the plague and causing many more deaths.

Therefore, the imperial court had no choice but to gather all infected citizens in several cities, allowing them to fend for themselves.

The people of Guangyuan Prefecture are human.

The common people of the various government offices in the Qin Dynasty, they are also human.

The plague is powerful.

Then there's no choice but to cut off one's arm to survive.

Otherwise, the entire Qin Dynasty wouldn't necessarily be wiped out by the plague, but the number of casualties among the populace would definitely increase dozens of times over.

>

“So.”

"The imperial court's actions were a last resort. If you were standing in the court's position, you would also make the same choice."

The imperial decree of the East.

Let the two fall silent.

>

Different perspectives lead to different understandings of things.

If they were infected with the plague, they naturally resented the court. But from the court's perspective, this was understandable; strictly speaking, neither side was wrong.

>

One is to want to live.

One is to prevent more people from dying.

After a long time.

Shen Changqing took a deep breath: "Things over two hundred years ago are in the past, there is no need to investigate them now. Mo Zijin's purpose is simple, he just wants revenge for the people who died tragically that year."

That's all I have to say on that.

He hesitated for a moment before voicing his guess.

“Looking at the calamities from Mount Xiaqiu, I suspect that calamities may be caused by the collective resentment of countless people who died tragically. If these resentments were to disappear, could we truly eradicate calamities”

"A being of resentment"

Eastern Command was slightly taken aback. The other person's words were like opening a brand new door for him.

Immediately.

The commandant fell silent.

After a long time, Dongfang Zhao came to his senses and nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense. Throughout history, natural disasters have always been accompanied by huge calamities, causing many deaths among the common people. If we say that natural disasters are the embodiment of resentment, it is also possible."

But even so, wanting those resentments to disappear is by no means an easy task.

Hearing this.

Shen Changqing couldn't help but say, "Taoism and Buddhism have methods for superseding souls, don't they If they make a move, they might be able to supersed the resentment."

"It seems you have quite a bit of knowledge about Buddhism and Taoism."

Eastern Majesty glanced at him, then shook his head helplessly.

They may have some methods for spiritual ascension, but in reality, they are not very useful. They are just tricks used by swindlers to fool people. As for genuine spiritual ascension, I have never seen it.

Moreover, many powerful figures from Taoism and Buddhism also perished during the various natural disasters that plagued the Qin dynasty.

Therefore, this method is not very feasible.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Chen Changqing was speechless.

There are con artists in every world.

He thought that since martial arts were prevalent in this world, and all sorts of magical techniques existed, then Taoism and Buddhism shouldn't be just empty names.

It seems that way now.

Taoism and Buddhism might be able to fight, but when it comes to reincarnation, it's clearly beyond their scope of work.

“Alright, you’ve all worked hard on this. Go and rest for now. We can discuss anything else tomorrow.”

The imperial decree ordered the expulsion of people.

Upon seeing this, the two bowed and left.

Only after they left did Dongfang Zhao's face take on a strange expression.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

"The embodiment of resentment!"

“The Taoist and Buddhist sects might actually have methods for salvation. This matter needs to be carefully considered. If they can solve the natural disasters, then the pressure on the Demon Suppression Division would be greatly reduced.”

He pondered silently.

Can the Demon Suppression Bureau defeat natural disasters

That's certainly not possible.

As the strongest institution in the Qin Empire, the Zhen Mo Si's strength is naturally extremely powerful.

While they shouldn't be compared to the demonic tribe in totality, they certainly wouldn't be weaker than them by much. Even natural disasters, though powerful, are ultimately unable to withstand the might of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

But.

Natural disasters cannot be eradicated, and the Demon Suppression Office would not waste its energy attacking them every day.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He killed a lot of people.

The past was simply a waste of time.

In case of unforeseen circumstances, one might still fall victim to natural disasters.

Such a thankless and laborious task, the Demon Suppression Division is too lazy to do it. At most, they would set up defenses to prevent those mindless fools from going into the Calamity Realm to send themselves to their deaths, allowing the calamity to grow stronger in a short period of time.

Even with defenses in place, natural disasters can strike at any time and on a large scale.

No matter what else you say.

It can also hold it back a bit, so that it doesn't suddenly become much more powerful.

"When I have time, I should have a good talk with Buddhist and Taoist practitioners. Also, Shen Changqing's strength has improved rapidly, almost reaching the level of entering the Great Sun Furnace. If he is allowed to grow, it is indeed possible to break through the limit of martial artists."

But—how strong a martial artist who breaks limits can become is still a matter of debate.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Dongfang Zhao's eyes were deep and profound.

The emergence of a martial arts expert at the pinnacle of their power is definitely a good thing.

But he couldn't be sure how long it would take the other party to break through a martial artist's limits.

“Time is short, that's fine. But if it were a long time, given the current situation, letting him quietly break through might not be a good thing. Forget it, let's just wait and see. Let’s talk when he ascends to the Great Sun Furnace.”

The Eastern Emperor must admit, Shen Changqing's talent is the greatest he has ever seen.

Never before has anyone been able to complete the stages of Tiger, Leopard, Thunder and Sound in such a short amount of time.

To say whether there is any shady dealings, I myself can't see it.

But.

As long as one does not betray Qin, or collude with demons, all problems are not problems.

Leaving the hall of deliberations.

Wei Lan paused her steps, her gaze falling on the person beside her: "Shen Chu Mo, if you have time in the future, you might as well come to Tian Bu Demon Removal Institute for a visit."

>

"The sanitation officer invited me, how could I refuse When I have time, I will definitely go."

"I'm leaving first."

Elaine was also a cold person, rarely talking to people on a daily basis. It was only through Shen Changqing's reputation and deeds that she could see him in a new light.

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He invited her verbally.

This is probably the first time in history.

Whether she agrees or not, she won't repeat it a second time.

Watching Wai Lan's departing figure, Shen Changqing shook his head and turned back to潛心閣.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Just as he had left for a short while, he paused.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Oh, I seem to have forgotten to ask about the demons and the town guards. I’ll go ask tomorrow.”

Coming back from Xiaoqiu Mountain, it's really an understatement to say that I was running non-stop.

Though I'm not very tired.

I'm a little tired, too.

Take a good rest and ask again tomorrow, it's definitely not too late.

Shen Changqing didn't believe it. In just one night, could all the monsters in the capital city have been cleared out

As soon as I stepped into the Qixing Pavilion, I saw a person coming towards me.

"Brother Jiang!"

"Brother Shen!"

>

When Jiang An saw the arrival of the person, a warm smile appeared on his face.

He doesn't meet Shen Changqing often.

But the feeling he got from the other party was very good.

Nothing else to say.

Its strength alone speaks volumes.

Recalling the time in the Demon Subduing Prison, the other party effortlessly eradicated a powerful vengeful spirit in just a few moves. Even now, Jiang An was still astonished by it.

"Jiang Brother, where are you headed"

"The Zhenxie Pavilion needs some research materials, so I'm going to the Zhenmo Prison to extract some demons and devils for study."

"Ugh—"

Jiang An's words reminded Shen Changqing of the countless demons imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison.

"Jiang, would you like some company"

“No need for that, the seal was reinforced not long ago, there shouldn't be any problems now. Looking at Brother Shen's dusty appearance, I guess you just returned from a trip. If I disturb you further, it would be too much.”

Jiang An smiled and refused.

Here is the translation of your request:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Although he is a member of the Exorcism Pavilion, it doesn't mean he is helpless.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

As for the rest, nothing more needs to be said.

As for strength, I am comparable to a martial artist at the innate realm. I have some self-defense capability.

Upon seeing this.

Shen Changqing didn't insist. What he just said was just a polite remark.

“I shall go first, brother Shen. Farewell.”

Please note: the content within the tags was empty. I have left that as

to reflect the original structure.

"Jiang brother, slow down... Wait a moment, Jiang brother, wait!"

Shen Changqing was just about to leave, but suddenly he thought of something and called out to the other person.

Come to a stop.

Jiang An's face was puzzled: "Brother Shen, is there anything else"

“Well, there's nothing else. Brother Jiang, you should go busy yourself.”

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Shen Changqing opened his mouth, but didn't ask the question. Instead, he smiled and gave a slight bow before leaving.

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I can help with that!

He originally wanted to ask Jiang An if the Town Evil Pavilion sold demons, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that asking this was obviously inappropriate.

You can buy demons at the auction house and even use the excuse of exterminating them to justify it.

But now that all the demons are imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Prison, this explanation no longer holds water.

Maybe.

This will also lead to other unnecessary troubles.

That's why Shen Changqing gave up the idea of buying demons from Zhen Xie Ge.

Seeing this, Jiang An was a little confused, but he didn't ask further and left the study afterward.hat level, even if they fall, their demise will not be absolute. There will always be something left behind.It's normal for Shen Changqing to learn some hidden secrets of the heavens after receiving t...
