Chapter 80 Is there a more difficult mission?
strong, from their divine soul origins, you can plunder and strip away their divine abilities.Just saying.When killing powerful beings, it is already difficult to leave behind their essence. Therefore...Since mastering the Iron Sand Palm, Shen Changqing had spent almost half a year in the Demon Suppression Division.
This period of time.
He has always been dedicated to researching the Hundred Battles Sword Technique and the Heavenly Net Stride Technique.
During that time.

Shen Changqing also went to the Library Pavilion and memorized another martial art called "Willow Catkin Form."

As expected.
After mastering the Willow Catkin's Movement, both the Heaven-Traversing Step and the Willow Catkin's Movement on the panel showed a merge option.
It's just that due to the shortage of killing values, I haven't been able to merge.
The same.
Iron Sand Palm and Open Mountain Palm styles are also therefore limited.
As for the shortage of killing values, Shen Changqing was not overly anxious.
Although demon beasts are currently wreaking havoc within the Qin realm, obtaining slaughter points isn't difficult. As long as you slay a few demon beasts, slaughter points will naturally accrue.
However.
But he was not overly anxious.
Of course, with his current strength, Shen Changqing was confident that he could defeat any demon below the Nascent Soul Stage.
>
However, the world is vast, and there are many powerful demons.
Whether it's a You-level or an Enmity level, they aren't very powerful at all.
And.
Although he was confident in dealing with demons below the S-rank, if there were too many, he might not be able to escape unscathed.
Shen Changqing understood this very well.
In this world, there is no one powerful enough to speak without being refuted.
Even a powerful general like a town guard, will sometimes fall to demons.
Although one's own strength is not bad, if one really goes around adventuring, who knows when they might die at the hands of demons and monsters.
Especially since he recently destroyed a base belonging to the Eternal Alliance, it's highly likely that he has already been placed on their kill list.
In this case.

Shen Changqing would never go out on a whim.
Only when one's own strength is elevated to the point of invincibility will one venture out to hunt down demons and accrue killing points.
The past three months.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
...plus the current six months.
This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags in markdown. The `
` tag creates a paragraph.
Over half a year, his strength has also improved quite a bit.
>
The Hundred Battles Blade Technique has already reached the peak of the third layer, and it's not far from the fourth layer. As for the Heavenly Demon Stepping Astral Steps, it has reached the fifth layer, almost reaching the stage of crossing into the sixth layer.
During that time.
Shen Changqing also swallowed the bottle of Tongmai Dan he had exchanged, digesting it and thus clearing several more meridians.
Although I couldn't make the Heavenly Martial Qi break through, it did make my true qi more robust.
“It’s been about ten months since I returned from my last mission. A year of rest is almost up. Even if I practiced hard for another two months, I wouldn’t see any significant breakthroughs in my martial arts.”
Since that's the case, then we can consider carrying out the mission.
Shen Changqing pondered silently.
Although my cultivation realm didn't make a breakthrough in the past ten months, my foundation has strengthened considerably.
It would be a different story if I were to fight against myself from ten months ago.
>
He was fairly certain he could kill his past self without too much cost.
“There's a chance to spar with the master, but it's too risky——”
Shen Changqing shook his head slightly, tidying up briefly, and then headed towards the Zhan Yao Hall.

> Arrived at the Demon Slaying Hall.
Because he was a yellow-ranked demon slayer, he was also a member of the Yellow Rank.
This is just a test.
The Huangjie Palace is similar in scale to the Gongxun Hall and the Treasure Hall.
There are many windows divided, some demon hunters inside are either accepting or submitting their tasks.
He came to a window where no one was.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Chen Changqing presented his identity badge.
“Huang Jie, the demon slayer Shen Changqing, has come to accept a mission.”
"Um."
A scarred old man stood before the window, his appearance rather fierce and menacing.
He took the identity token, looked at it seriously for a moment, then took out a piece of paper, recorded his name, and returned the token.
"I have quite a few tasks here at the moment, Your Excellency. Please take a look."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
As they were talking, the elder again passed a notebook to Shen Changqing.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing took the notebook and then opened it.
Upon opening the first page, you can see the content listed above.
In the Nanyou Prefecture's Baitue City area, demonic creatures have been causing havoc. Preliminary estimates suggest that around twenty people have perished at their hands. The estimated strength of these demonic creatures is in the mid to late stages of the You Rank, with a single entity present. Completion of this mission grants a reward of two points of merit!
As for gaining meritorious points for the mission, Shen Changqing was quite clear about it.
Most of the tasks within the Demonic Suppression Office are awarded with merit points. The probationary exorcist's assessment missions, however, do not receive any merit points.
The reason is also very simple.
The apprentice demon slayer had just entered the Demon Suppression Division, and everything was provided by the Demon Suppression Division. He had hardly contributed much himself.
Even though apprentice demon slayers would carry out some tasks during their time at the Demon Suppression Division, those tasks were not difficult by any means, and they didn't even generate any profit for the Demon Suppression Division.
So, the probationary demon slayer's assessment task is equivalent to repaying the losses incurred by the Demon Suppression Agency.
But since Huang Jie eliminated the demons, every mission has been awarded merit points, including the assessment and promotion tasks at each stage.
One task, two achievements, it seems a bit small.
But you need to know that.
When slaying demons, the celestial jade pendant's captured demon energy can still be exchanged for merit points.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Therefore.
Strictly speaking,
I accomplished a task, and I've earned three or four points of merit.
>
A bottle of Tongmai Dan only costs six achievement points, and a single mission can yield three to four achievement points. That's already a generous reward.
However.
Chen Changqing merely glanced at it and skipped over the task.
A demonic being at the early stage of junior high, it wasn't even worth his attention. He had finally gotten a chance to go on a mission, there was no need to choose something this low-difficulty.
He was naturally a top-tier martial artist. During his mission in the Huangjie Exorcism, he had a significant advantage.
If we take on some simple tasks, when will we be able to accumulate enough killing points
Turn to the second page.
There is also a detailed task introduction above, but unfortunately, just like the first task, the difficulty of the second task is about the same.
Soon, it was time to turn to the third page.
After a long time, Shen Changqing closed the book and returned it.
"Well, haven't you found a suitable task"
>
The old man's expression was strange.
He watched as Shen Changqing flipped through almost half the book, but he couldn't find any assignments that met his requirements.
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
You know, the tasks above aren't too difficult. Any Yellow Rank Exorcist should be able to complete them.
But to say that it can be completed by one hundred percent, of course, is impossible.
"When did the Demon Suppression Office produce such a weak demon slayer, who wouldn't even dare to carry out such a simple task In the future, there will surely be no promising prospects."
The old man sighed inwardly.
In his eyes, Shen Changqing was considered the kind of person who wouldn't live long.
Being overly cautious and timid, the probability of death in future missions will be unusually high. After all, caution is a good thing, but being too cautious is detrimental.
Just when the old man was secretly feeling helpless, Shen Changqing spoke up.
"Are there any particularly difficult tasks I see that the difficulty level of the tasks listed above is generally average. As the one in charge of publishing tasks, you must have a good understanding of the current situation regarding tasks within the Demon Suppression Division, wouldn't you agree"
He was too lazy to flip through them one by one, so he might as well just ask directly.
"Well—do you think the previous task was too easy"
The old man was stunned for a moment, then carefully looked up and down at Shen Changqing, as if he wanted to get to know the person in front of him again.
Many people come here to pick up quests every day, but those who complain about the low level of the quests are few and far between.
Every person who says that has a very high level of confidence in their own abilities.
Having collected his thoughts, the old man fell into contemplation.
After a long silence, he looked up at Shen Changqing.
"If you're looking for a really challenging task, I have one in mind. It might be a bit out of your league though."
>
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"There are demons and monsters haunting the Jincheng region of Dahuang Prefecture. According to intelligence reports, the strength of these demonic entities was initially estimated to be around early to mid-level Netherworld Realm. Therefore, it has been designated as an assessment task for apprentice demon slayers."
But later, Tiancha Wei sent word that there were signs of activity from the Everlasting Alliance demons in Jincheng. It was suspected that there was a base for the Everlasting Alliance there, and the mission difficulty increased significantly.
As the old man spoke, he flipped through to the back pages of the book. He glanced down at the information and then looked up to explain it.

"The Eternal Alliance Outpost"
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Shen Changqing's brow furrowed slightly.
Any Eternal Alliance stronghold possesses formidable strength. If there were indeed strongholds of the Eternal Alliance, it would be a rather good thing.
But he did not interrupt, but let the elder speak on.
But—
The old man paused for a moment, then continued.
"You need to know that in any base of the Immortal Alliance, there are innate-realm demon people, and even demons above the Nether level are hiding. Such missions are usually only eligible for Xuan-rank demon slayers."
> Because of the Immortal Alliance stronghold issue, we can't be 100% sure yet. Sending a few Xuan-rank Demon Exterminators for an uncertain matter would undoubtedly be a waste of effort, so the mission difficulty was lowered to Huang-rank."
> Wait for the old man to speak.
Shen Changqing asked, "What do I need to do"
“If you are to take on this task, then the task is divided into two stages. In the first stage, when those apprentice exorcists complete their missions and if there is danger to their lives, you can step in to protect them.”
If all the apprentice demon slayers return safely, you can earn an additional two points of merit.
However, there's a condition: unless there are demons beyond the scope of your missions, you can't intervene to kill them. If you violate this rule, not only will you receive no merit points as a reward, but you'll also have two merit points deducted.
The old man spoke for a long time in one breath, and then he opened his mouth again.
"The second mission is to investigate whether Jin City truly has a base of the Eternal Alliance. While the Celestial Watch has strong intelligence capabilities, their strength is inferior. Cooperation with Exorcists is required."
Upon completion of this task, you will receive three points of merit. In conjunction with the first task, a total of five points of merit will be awarded.
At this, Shen Changqing considered he understood the specific task process.
Instantly, he thought of some problems again.
"What if I destroyed the Eternal Alliance stronghold"rison to the true form of the beast, merely a small fraction of it like an iceberg.When the body touched the abyss of darkness, the beast seemed to sense some danger. It roared with earth-shattering f...
