Chapter Forty-Nine: The Eternal Alliance Stronghold

e void and settling down on a golden throne with contentment.The appearance of the old Daoist was completely unnoticed by me until he came into my field of vision.This situation reminded Shen Changqin...> Ended cultivation.

Shi Qing Sheng walked in from outside.

“Sir, someone has brought a letter outside and said it is for you.”

"My letter"

Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow slightly, took the envelope, and waved his hand to dismiss Shi Qingsheng.

Open the envelope.

He took out a blank sheet of paper from inside, with no trace on it.

Shen Changqing got up, took a bottle of white wine, and then mixed it with tea water. He slowly applied it to the white paper.

Then.

That is, taking it outside and comparing it directly to sunlight.

A few breaths.

Suddenly, black characters appeared on the blank sheet of paper that was originally empty.

"As I expected!"

Shen Changqing smiled.

After receiving the blank paper, he thought of the secret message from Tiānchá Wèi. Then, according to the memory in his mind, he began to decipher the hidden meaning in the message.

As expected.

On the white paper, the contents of the secret letter appeared.

Back in the inner hall, Shen Changqing carefully read the contents of the letter again, then used his true energy to incinerate it completely.

The letter came from the Heavenly Watch.

He hadn't been to Yongfu Pawnshop for a few days, and the people at Yongfu Pawnshop weren't able to come to the yamen in person, so they sent him all the information they had found through secret letters.

The contents of the confidential letter.

This >

“Zhangjia!”

Shen Changqing's fingers tapped lightly, his eyes unconsciously becoming cold.

Zhang's family.

It can also be said that it was a relatively prestigious family in Lin'an City. Before Zhao Fang succeeded as county magistrate, the previous county magistrate came from the Zhang family.

But since the Zhao family's rise to prominence, the Zhang family has become much more low-key.

According to intelligence from the Heavenly Watch.

The Zhang family's residence is the Everlasting Alliance's stronghold in Lin'an City.

Moreover, over the past one or two years, there have been frequent cases of missing persons in Lin'an City. After investigations by the Heavenly Watch Bureau, the blame finally pointed to the Zhang family.

“In the past year or two, there have been a number of missing persons in Lin'an City. However, there has been no movement whatsoever, apparently suppressed by Zhao Fang. There is no sign of demons, and the Celestial Watch will not deliberately investigate.”

Years of peace have made the Heavenly Watchmen of this place complacent.

"Had I not been specifically seeking it out, I would never have discovered the problems with Zhang's family."

Shen Changqing understood the ins and outs of the matter. He had no choice but to accept the negligence of the Celestial Guards.

The Tiānchàwèi are spread throughout the Great Qin.

Some places are constantly plagued by demons and monsters, but others manage to remain peaceful. Even if there are demons and monsters in those places, they only cause minor disturbances and pose no significant threat.

That's it.

Then a phenomenon of polarization will occur.

The more dangerous the place, the more frequently Tianchawei will be changed, but the alertness level is also the highest.

The safer the place, the longer Tianchawei soldiers have been stationed there, and naturally, they become complacent.

These things.

Shen Changqing was merely a small yellow-ranked demon slayer, unable to interfere too much. Fortunately, this time Situ Bei had given him what he wanted.

According to Tianchawei's intelligence.

The Zhang family started having problems about ten years ago.

The reason for their existence is twofold: first, to serve as eyes and ears for the Eternal Alliance within the realm; second, to silently cultivate some demons for the Eternal Alliance.

Even.

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

The letter has suspicions, the demon in Gumu Village was cultivated and strengthened by the Zhang family.

"If the monsters in Guguyue Village were cultivated by the Zhang family, then the monster that attacked the yamen and escaped earlier is probably also hiding with the Zhang family. It's possible that the Zhang family is hiding more than just one monster."

“The more demons and monsters, the better. A small Zhang family shouldn't have any resentment levels. That night's demonic creature was most likely sent directly by the Eternal Life Alliance.”

Based on the information provided by Tianchawei, Shen Changqing could roughly judge the strength of the family.

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

Even if he knew Zhang's family was a stronghold of the Eternal Alliance, it was impossible to directly attack them without any understanding.

Compare your own strength.

Chen Changqing felt that dealing with one vengeful ghost was no problem, but if it were two vengeful ghosts, then it would be hard to say.

Meanwhile.

If a vengeful ghost were powerful enough to almost reach the level of a malevolent spirit, he would turn tail and run.

"Here comes someone!"

“Sir, what are your orders!” An officer on guard outside the inner hall immediately stepped forward.

"Have Zhang Yue come to see me."

"Yes!"

One quarter of an hour.

Zhang Yue walked in and bowed: "Greetings, Sir!"

"According to the information above, bring all those people over to me. Just say I need to discuss something important with them." Shen Changqing handed a piece of paper directly to them.

Upon seeing this.

Zhang Yue took both hands, carefully looked at the information above, and immediately clasped his fist: "Don't worry, sir, I will do it right away!"

"Go."

Chen Changqing waved his hand, and Zhang Yue bowed and stepped back.

The content on the paper records the specific addresses where various martial arts factions, such as the Guiyuan Sword School, reside.

They arrived in Lin'an city, they couldn't possibly sleep on the streets.

Therefore, Shen Changqing had long since used the Heavenly Observation Guard to pinpoint the specific locations of all the factions.

Less than an hour.

Then Cui Cheng and others arrived one after another.

Five factions, a total of ten people, were all seated in the inner hall.

Just because they were all part of the Guangyuan Prefecture's forces didn't mean they were close friends. In fact, most factions had some friction with each other, so when they met, everyone kept their eyes downcast and their hearts guarded, sitting quietly without moving a muscle.

Not long after.

Shen Changqing strode in from outside.

Upon seeing this, everyone rose to their feet and bowed: “Lord Shen!”

Everyone is here!

Shen Changqing sat smiling in the chief seat.

As soon as he sat down, someone immediately bowed and asked: "I wonder why Lord Shen suddenly summoned us here What has happened"

And that's it.

The rest of the people also had a look of doubt on their faces.

They didn't have much contact with Shen Changqing. The fact that he suddenly summoned them all here must mean something.

To be honest.

Everyone present did not want to have too much entanglement with the Demon Suppression Division and the imperial court.

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

The previous visit was just to confirm some things.

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

The main purpose is to avoid conflict with the Demon Suppression Office when vying for demon blood.

Shen Changqing said: "As I have also told you all before, as long as you do not disrupt the public order of Lin'an City, this official will absolutely not impose too many restrictions on you. But as fellow people from Qin, if there are demons causing havoc, we cannot stand idly by."

"What does Master Shen mean" Cui Cheng had a bad premonition.

Having received word from the Demon Suppression Division that there is a den of demons in Lin'an City, we, as Qin people, should regard it as our duty to eliminate these demons. Therefore, this official has decided to take action and eradicate this demonic stronghold.

Most of the clerks in the government office were just ordinary people. Even if there were one or two warriors of the Forging Body Realm, they would still be no match for demons and evil spirits.

This official hopes that all of you can lend a hand and work together to exterminate the demons.

Shen Changqing slowly opened his mouth.

That's all.

Many people's faces changed color.

“I wonder, Sir Shen, do you have any knowledge of that demon lair” The subordinate of the Sky-Knife Sect asked in a low voice.

Although others were reluctant in their hearts, they did not immediately refuse.

Shen Changqing said: "This official suspects that the demon from Gu Yue Village before was from the demon stronghold in Lin'an City. But Lin'an City is only a small place after all, and although the demon stronghold exists, its strength definitely wouldn't be too strong."

To be frank, this official is from the Demon Suppression Division. Slaying demons and monsters is my duty.

So, eradicating the demonic lairs can be done by me alone. However, to ensure absolute success, I need you all to surround that demonic lair and absolutely prevent anyone, demon or otherwise, from escaping.

Similarly, if I am defeated, I also hope that you will all support each other.

After all, if even the magistrate himself can't deal with demons and monsters, if they were to run rampant and slaughter without restraint, there would be no way for you to remain uninvolved.

Upon hearing this.

All parties felt a tightening in their chests, yet a strange sense of relief washed over them.

It's best if they don't have to get their hands dirty.

If it's just a simple case of showing off, there shouldn't be any danger.

As for Shen Changqing's abilities.

>

Everyone present had some guesses.

If they can't even handle the demons, they should consider temporarily evacuating Lin'an City.

Immediately.

Cui Cheng bowed: “Since Lord Shen has said so, the Gui Yuan Jian Pai will certainly be the first to support!”

“I have no objections from the Heavenly Blade Sect!”

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

"I have no problem with the Burning Heaven Mountain Villa!"

"Qiyuan Sect—"

Everyone answered very readily.

Even if they disagree, there's nothing they can do about it.

No matter what, since he's already arrived at the yamen, the request made by Shen Changqing, is not something anyone can refuse.

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

This matter is not handled well.

>

Then you might invite a whole lot of trouble.

Besides, it was just a normal matter of putting on a facade, nothing major. No one wanted to offend Shen Changqing for this, or even the Demon Suppression Division he represented.

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

Of course.

They agreed readily because, to a large extent, Shen Changqing's own performance and abilities played a significant role.

A martial artist who has just begun to learn the meridians.

Even with the guise of the Demon Suppression Division, various factions were unwilling to engage too much.

"Very well, the various factions of Guangyuan Mansion are indeed warm-hearted and dedicated to eradicating demons."

Shen Changqing's face wore a kind smile.

Next.

His face turned solemn again.

“Since everyone agrees, this official won't waste time. Every day the demonic lair remains, more people suffer. Today, we shall eradicate it completely! Bring me my men!”

With a loud shout, an officer entered from outside the door.

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

"Let Zhang Yue come to see me!"

"Your humble servant obeys!"

Very soon.

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

Zhang Yue hurried over.

"What are your orders, master"

"Assemble all the yamen servants and follow me to Zhang's house. You must completely seal off Zhang's house, absolutely not allowing anyone to escape." Shen Changqing issued the order coldly.

"I understand!"

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

Zhang Yue dared not ask the reason, he could only bow and accept the order.

Then.

Shen Changqing stood up and looked at Cui Cheng and the others: "The government's manpower is limited, so for the matter of besieging the Zhang family, I would ask everyone for their help."
