Chapter 25: The Eternal Alliance
major factions have masters of the Grandmaster level sitting in command. As for the rest, even if they were to meet a Grandmaster's face, they would not have any opportunity.>Don't look at them as m...“No!”
Zhao Fang shook his head, his face even paler.
"The Demon Suppression Division is ruthless and unforgiving. If this were to be truthfully reported to the Demon Suppression Division, not a single member of my Zhao family would survive."
I hope, Lord Shen, that seeing as I have served as the magistrate of Lin'an for twenty years, you will grant my Zhao family a way to live. Besides, they are completely unaware of what happened inside.
As long as Mr. Shen tells the Demonic Suppression Office that I was killed by a demon, and that I knew nothing else, that would be enough!
That's all.
Zhao Fang had already stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Changqing.
He colluded with demons, which would be a crime punishable by extermination of nine clans under the Qin legal system.
It doesn't matter if I die alone.
After all, Zhao Fang had thought about the possibility of being exposed since they began cooperating. So he was mentally prepared for the outcome.
>
One can die by oneself.
The members of the Zhao family, however, could not die with him.
Right now, whether the Zhao family can survive depends entirely on Shen Changqing.
As long as the other party corrects the statement and says that they haven't sided with evil spirits, then everything will be fine.
"You served as magistrate for twenty years, but in the end you sided with demons! If I concealed this from them, how could I ever face the lives of the people of Gu Yue!"
>
"I apologize to the people of Gumu Village, but my Zhao family members are also innocent—"
“The Zhao family has benefited from your kindness and enjoyed your blessings for twenty years in Lin'an City. Naturally, they must also bear the corresponding karmic consequences. The Demon Suppression Division will give a fair judgment on this matter.”
Shen Changqing cut Zhao Fang off directly. There is nothing innocent. Everything the Zhao family has now comes from Zhao Fang.
Now Zhao Fang is in misfortune.
The Zhao family will also have to bear certain consequences.

“Of course, I can give you a chance. As long as you answer some questions of mine, when the Zhao family is in trouble, I will do my best to help.”

"Whatever you want to know!" Zhao Fang took a few deep breaths, his chest heaving.
If I hadn't been unable to defeat Shen Changqing.
He now just wants to rush up and die with the other party.
>
If we really do this, it will only extinguish the last glimmer of hope for the Zhao family.
Shen Changqing sat calmly across from Zhao Fang, his waist-length sword resting by his side.
"It's very simple, tell me the main purpose of your collaboration with demons, how you communicate with each other, and whether the demons have any other schemes left in Lin'an City. Tell me everything."

What you are saying now is an opportunity for the Zhao family to atone for their sins in the future.

"Therefore, as to its importance or not, you are more aware than I."
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Fang fell silent.
At this point, he also understood that he had to speak up.
>
After a moment of silent contemplation, he finally raised his head to look at Shen Changqing.
“Demons have a huge advantage over humans, which is their lifespan. While the average human lifespan is only a few decades, very few live to see even a century. However, demons are completely different.”
My collaboration with demons is ultimately for the purpose of attaining longevity.
I am old. Without the help of demons, I may only have another twenty years before I reach my end.
Zhao Fang’s voice was calm, but his eyes visibly grew hot when he spoke of lifespan.
For him, lifespan was a great temptation.

Otherwise.
Nor will
he resort to evil spirits.
Shen Changqing did not interject and silently listened to the other person's next words.
“My connection with the demons was through Zhuang Mingyuan, the one who just fought you. He is a member of the Eternal Life Alliance, and it was through him that I came into contact with the Eternal Life Alliance and the demons.”
"The Everlasting Alliance" Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow. He had heard about it from Zhao Fang and Zhuang Mingyuan's conversation.
“The Eternal Alliance is an organization of demons. I don't know much about it, just that many people who defect to demons join the Eternal Alliance. That's all I know.”
Zhao Fang shook his head.
Shen Changqing silently recited the name of the Eternal Alliance in his heart.
This organization's name is pretty straightforward.
Eternity!
Will those who take refuge in demons all attain immortality
He couldn't help but scoff, "Demons and humans are opposites. In the eyes of demons, humans are no different from rations. Even if they have a way to achieve immortality, they wouldn't bestow it upon you."
“Perhaps!” Zhao Fang replied noncommittally. “But in the Eternal Alliance, there are already human beings who have lived for hundreds of years. For us with only a few decades of lifespan, hundreds of years is long enough.”
“Could it be that apart from Zhuang Mingyuan, the Everlasting Alliance has no other tokens”
"Yes."
Zhao Fang nodded and took out a silvery token from his bosom, passing it over: “This is the emblem of the Eternal Life Alliance. Everyone who joins the Eternal Life Alliance receives a token.”

Did Lord Shen not obtain any tokens from Zhuang Mingyuan
When speaking.
He's already probing a bit.
That's it.
Shen Changqing remained expressionless and directly took the silver-white token. "No, after I killed him, his body was cremated directly, and I didn't see any trace of a token."
Now, his gaze was also fixed on the token.
The silver-white token's obverse features a ferocious and terrifying demon, making one feel uneasy upon seeing it. On the reverse side are inscribed two characters: Eternal Life!

On the other side, Zhao Fang nodded in understanding when he heard this.
“No wonder Lord Shen didn't get the Eternal Alliance token from Zhuang Mingyuan. This token has no other drawbacks, except that it is easily incinerated by fire.”
When encountering fire, cremation will occur.
Shen Changqing nodded slightly, understanding why he hadn't received the Eternal Alliance token from Zhuang Mingyuan.
Hand over the token.
Zhao paused for a moment, then continued, “There shouldn't be any other Eternal Alliance forces in Lin'an City. After all, Lin'an is just a small town and doesn't require much effort.”
"With Zhuang Mingyuan and that ghostly creature, things were about to come to an end."

A few questions.
Zhao Fangdao provided a sufficiently thorough answer, which shows that he was indeed sincere.
Shen Changqing pondered for a moment: "The last question, have you received any news about the demon blood"
"Demon blood essence"
>
A look of confusion appeared in Zhao Fang's eyes.
***See this.***
Shen Changqing had already realized that the other party was clueless about the matter of demon essence blood. It seemed that Zhao Fang's status within the Eternal Life Alliance was also limited.
My mind was preoccupied with things.
A moment later.
He looked at Zhao Fang, his face now calm: “You’ve said almost everything you needed to. The rest, will you do it yourself, or shall I take care of it”
"No need to trouble Master Shen, I can handle this myself."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhao Fang's sleeve slipped, a dagger falling from it. Her gaze locked onto Shen Changqing: "I only hope that Lord Shen will keep his word and give the Zhao family a way to survive!"
That's it!
Dagger thrust to the chest!
