Chapter Twenty-Sixth: Handling
saw a red glow rise from within the fog, followed closely by the fog dissipating. Towering flames swept up, illuminating the night sky in darkness.“Luoyang City...is on fire!”He was taken aback.The si...In the inner hall.
The lamps flickered still.
Zhao Fang sat quietly, his head bowed on the seat. A dagger was plunged into his chest, his slightly aged hand clutching the hilt tightly, crimson blood flowing down from the wound.
This man who had served as the magistrate of Lin'an for twenty years, ended up dying at his own hands.
Shen Changqing's face was calm, and his heart did not fluctuate much.
In his eyes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From the moment Zhao Fang betrayed humanity and colluded with demons, he was already a dead man.
The other party will commit suicide because they understand that they are at a dead end, and any resistance is futile.

Take out the Qingling Jade Pendant.
Above, there are still only two black lines.
“It seems Zhao Fang truly has not become a demon or similar creature.” Shen Changqing’s last shred of doubt in his heart finally vanished.
The Qinglei jade pendant did not react.
That proves Zhao Fang hasn't abandoned his human form like Zhuang Mingyuan and turned towards demonic transformation.
I took two glances at the corpse.
Shen Changqing did not move, he simply rose to his feet and walked toward the study at the back of the inner hall.
The study is not small.
The interior layout is also quite exquisite, with a faint scent of ink permeating the air.
Zhao Fang sat in his usual spot. Shen Changqing took a sheet of white paper and laid it flat before him.
Grind the ink.
Pick up the pen.
He recorded everything that happened today.
Although I've only been in Anqing for two days, a lot has happened.
First, it was Zhang Long and Zhao Fang's betrayal, followed by the slaying of a ghostly creature of the Netherworld level, as well as various other news like Zhuang Mingyuan and the Eternal Alliance. So many things happening at once made Shen Changqing feel some pressure.
These things.
All of these need to be reported to the Town Demon Division one by one.
It's not okay to neither report nor do anything about it.
It's one thing to kill a demon or monster, you could easily find an excuse to cover it up. But when the county magistrate is dead, that's a whole different story.
If things aren't explained plainly, even if he is a person from the Demon Suppressing Division, there will be big trouble.
Of course.

> In the process of writing.
Shen Changqing also avoided some heavy topics.
For example.

There's no way.
Otherwise, it's difficult to explain one's own abilities.
Now that he has broken through the innate realm, looking at all the peerless geniuses and monsters in the Demon Suppression Division, no one else can break through to the innate realm within a year.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing needed to hide himself a little, so as not to cause too much trouble.
>
Innate realm.
Although seemingly more powerful than those who specialize in pulse diagnosis, within the Demon Suppression Division, they are only considered Earth Rank Demon Exterminators. Above Earth Rank, there are Heaven Rank Demon Exterminators.
Besides that.
> In addition to the Demon Exorcist, there are also Guardian Commanders.
That is the most powerful entity within the entire Demon Suppressing Division. It's also the foundation that allows the Qin Dynasty to stand against demons and monsters for over three hundred years without falling.
Break through one's innate talent within a year.
Even if one could use talent as an excuse, if certain people with ulterior motives noticed it, trouble would be inevitable.

It is worth mentioning.
The writing tools of this world are not very different from what Shen Changqing knew in his previous life.
It took up half an hour.
Then he wrote down everything that needed to be written.
A slight surge of true qi dried the ink completely, and after folding it simply, Shen Changqing put it away in his bosom before rising to leave.
>
This is the time.
The sound of a rooster crowing rose.
"It's three o'clock in the morning!"
Shen Changqing looked at the darkness around him and immediately found a few yamen servants who had stayed behind in the yamen.
The yamen is a heavily guarded place.
Even the officials need to patrol day and night.
Because one person's energy is limited, day and night patrols also need to be replaced occasionally, so a separate wing was set up inside the yamen for those people to rest.

Even the most courageous person wouldn't be able to sleep after such a major event happened at night.
When Shen Changqing arrived, several people were sitting there stiffly.
"Shen, Shen-daren!"
An official who looked rather elderly rose nervously, his voice trembling.
>
Zhao Fang colluded with demons. Since they were all government officials, the others might also be implicated.
Having heard that the Demon Suppression Division is ruthless and treats human life like grass, if they were to be angry with me, I might just end up on a dead end.
Shen Changqing didn't know what the other party was thinking, and looked at them with a calm gaze.
What is your name
"Greetings, Lord Shen. My humble name is Hong Cheng!"
>
"How many years have you served in Lin'an city Are there any officials older than you in the government currently"
“I have been serving in Lin'an City for almost ten years. Apart from Zhao sir and Zhang the constable, no one has served longer than I.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hong Cheng answered honestly.
Shen Changqing nodded. "Very good, from today onwards you will temporarily take the position of head catcher until the imperial appointment arrives. Right now, I need you to do a few things."
"Ah, oh, Lord Shen, please speak!"
Hong Cheng froze in place, then quickly reacted, his face breaking into an uncontrollable smile.
Acting as the temporary head of the group means it won't implicate oneself.
>
And.
By the time the new magistrate arrives, I might just be a head catcher.
An inexplicable promotion, like a pie falling from the sky.
"Now Zhao Fang has confessed and committed suicide. You send someone to handle his body, do not bury him for now. Wait until the Demon Suppression Office or imperial court officials arrive before making further arrangements."
Shen Changqing thought for a moment, then continued.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Furthermore, you bring some men to seal off the Zhao family's residence. Do not allow anyone to leave, or you will all face death!
Finally, his expression turned grim.
Hong Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly nodded: "Lord Shen, please rest assured, I will absolutely not let any member of the Zhao family escape."
“That’s perfect, then. Go ahead!”
Shen Changqing waved his hand and turned to leave the room.
He did not go anywhere else.
After leaving the government office, he went straight back to the inn where he used to live.
I was tired after a long day.
> After several battles again.
Even innate martial artists have their limits. That kind of consumption isn't just physical, it's also mental.
The next day.
Shen Changqing rose punctually, swallowing the first wisp of purple air between heaven and earth.
His biological clock is completely fixed now, so even if he's exhausted the day before, it doesn't have too much of an impact.
Purple Qi is swallowed.
Pure yang energy remained unchanged.
In fact.
The Pure Yang Technique only has nine layers, and reaching the ninth layer is considered complete. Shen Changqing forcibly broke through to the eleventh layer, completely shattering the limits of the Pure Yang Technique.
Today's Pure Yang Gong.
Pure yang function is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
The inner energy that was cultivated, also underwent a drastic transformation, becoming completely different from genuine yang energy.
After all—

Even if one had achieved the ninth level of Pure Yang Gong, it would be impossible to create fire out of thin air with just Pure Yang Qi.arched their soul, everything would be clear.As for Tianjidaoren saying he didn't know the whereabouts of the 至寶, he didn't believe it at all.Even if the other party is weak, they are still a royal of...
