Chapter Eighty-Five: Strange

The two people sat face to face.
Zhong Chi said, "I reported the news to the Demon Suppression Division hoping that a demon slayer would come and help the Celestial Watch investigate the matter of the Wanhu Building."
After all, even Master Shen knows that the Tiancha Wei is primarily intelligence-based.
In terms of strength, there's no comparison to the demon slayer.
If Wanhu Lou is really a base of the Eternal Alliance, then investigating further will inevitably lead to major conflict. At that time, the Tiancha Wei's strength would be insufficient, and some losses are inevitable.
But if this were to happen, and Heaven's Staircase were exposed as a result, it would be a loss outweighing any gain.
What I didn't expect was that it would be Shen himself who took on the task. Although Shen is a Huangjie exorcist, his true strength even among the Xuanjie exorcists is second to none.
With your help, this matter will be foolproof.
Shen Changqing did not make a positive statement.
He could understand what Zhongchi had said.
To put it simply.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The Celestial Guard is merely an intelligence agency that secretly gathers information from all over the Qin Dynasty and then compiles it into a unified report to be sent to the Demon Suppression Division. The Demon Suppression Division then takes appropriate action based on the information provided.
That's it.
That also doomed the Heavenly Watch to not be very strong.
>
After all, the primary function of Tiānchàwèi is merely to gather intelligence, its strength being secondary.
Intelligence work.
One should also pay attention to talent.
Some people have a talent for intelligence gathering, but they are terrible at martial arts.
If the Everlasting Alliance truly exists behind Wanhu Tower, then if Tiancewei and Wanhu Tower clashed head-on, they would very likely suffer heavy losses.
Therefore.

Tian Cha Wei could only seek help from the Demon Suppression Division.
>Before it is confirmed whether Wanhu Lou is truly a base for the Eternal Alliance, the Demon Suppression Division will not invest too much power. Every demon slayer has its own value in existence.
Especially now that demons are increasingly rampant, most of the people from the Demon Suppression Division are busy suppressing them in various places.
The task of Jin City thus fell upon Huang Jie, the demon-hunting official.
Only after the location of the Eternal Alliance stronghold is confirmed will the Demon Suppression Division dispatch enough force to wipe it out.
"Besides investigating the Everlasting Alliance strongholds, I also saw other missions in Jin City. What are the specifics of those apprentice demon slayer missions"
Then Shen Changqing shifted the topic from Wanhu Tower to Xu Yi and the others.
Upon hearing this.
Zhong Chi said: "Those tasks given to the novice demon slayers came from the Zhou family. The Zhou family is a prominent clan in Jin City, and they have a good reputation among the common people."
But inwardly, that is, it was so.
Speaking of which.
Zhong Chi shook his head and let out a derisive laugh.
“For the past two weeks, there have been unexplained disappearances in Zhou’s family every night. By the time they were discovered, they had become mummified corpses. According to our assessment, they were drained of their blood by a demon.”

Judging from the influence and impact caused by the demonic entity, its strength is estimated to be at most around the middle stage of the You rank.
Even for ordinary people, even a newly entered demon of the Netherworld rank would be a fatal threat.
>
For this reason, the Zhou family also hired some skilled martial artists from the Jianghu, wanting to eliminate the demon. Unfortunately, those so-called skilled martial artists all died at the hands of the demon after facing it.
"That's it——"

The Zhou family temporarily moved out of their ancestral home and settled elsewhere. Luckily, the Zhou family owned a considerable amount of property in Jincheng, so moving to a new place was not a big issue.
From Zhong Chi's words, Shen Changqing understood the specific details of the Zhou family's demonic incident.
Unlike the entire village of Guguyuan, where everyone perished, according to the description, not many people have died in Zhou's family so far, and the strength of the demonic creature causing havoc there shouldn't be too great.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
After all, if you're truly strong enough.
The Zhou family has absolutely no chance of evacuating.
I thought about it.
Shen Changqing said, "Could the demons from the Zhou family be connected to Wanhu Tower"
"We are investigating, and haven't made much progress yet. However, the Zhou family places great importance on their reputation and wouldn't look favorably upon women of ill repute. They have also strictly forbidden anyone from the Zhou family to go to Wan Hua Lou."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhong Chi shook his head.
The Zhou family is plagued by evil spirits, and with the incident at Wanhu Tower, he certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to investigate.
Unfortunately.
So far, nothing has been found.
>
Since the Zhou family moved out, the demons there also fell silent, as if they had been completely abandoned in that ancestral home.
Shen Changqing said, "If there really is a base for the Eternal Alliance in Jin City, then their letting demons wreak havoc on the Zhou family to attract the attention of the Demon Suppression Office is rather strange."
In his heart, he was more inclined towards the demonic creature of the Zhou family, which had no relation to the Eternal Alliance.
At the end of the day.
The Eternal Alliance was merely a force created by demons.
This faction's ability to control demons stems largely from the power bestowed upon them by those powerful demons behind the scenes.
That is to say.
Not all demons are under the control of the Eternal Alliance.
If it so happened that other demons existed, it wouldn't be impossible.
"What are the Celestial Guard's plans regarding Wanhu Tower"
“We originally needed to confirm whether the Wanhu Tower is related to the Eternal Alliance or demons. Since Master Shen detected demonic energy at Wanhu Tower, there's no need to overthink it.”
Right now, we only need to find the source of the sinister Qi in Wanhua Building, and then we can take action directly.
Once the demonic forces within Wanhu Lou are eradicated, the hidden Eternal Alliance will inevitably be exposed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zhong Chi said in a low voice.
For anything, one must always seek evidence. This is the fundamental principle upon which the Qin state was founded, and even the Demon Suppression Division would not act beyond the rules.
Just like this now.
Although the Wan Hua Lou might be related to the Eternal Alliance, even the missing persons in Jin City might have a great deal to do with the Wan Hua Lou.
But without evidence, the Demon Suppression Division cannot act recklessly.
Without rules, there is no square or circle.
If the Demonic Suppression Division does not abide by the rules, then the rules established by Qin will be a joke. At that time, there will undoubtedly be even greater chaos.
This is the reasoning.
Zhong Chi understood, Shen Changqing understood, and even anyone else could understand.
What can Shen do
He looked at Zhongchi.
My main task is to assist the Tianchawei in confirming whether the Eternal Alliance strongholds actually exist.
>
Therefore, this matter also relies primarily on the Heavenly Watch and uses one's own strength as a supplement.
Zhong Chi laughed and said, "If it were an ordinary demon slayer, the Tiancha Wei would still need to be cautious in their actions. But now that it's Shen, we don't have to be so restrained."
Did Lord Shen go to Wanhu Tower today, perhaps sensing the exact source of that sinister aura
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
“I didn't originally intend to enter Wanhu Tower, but upon sensing a sinister aura on a woman of the wind and dust, I followed her in.”
Shen Changqing pondered for a moment.
Ordinarily, there shouldn't be any sinister energy on a person. If there is, it means they are either carrying something related to demons or are a demon themselves.
But from that woman, I could be certain, she was absolutely not a demon, nor had she been possessed by one.
After slaying many demons, Shen Changqing was confident that his judgment of demons had reached a certain level.
Besides that.
After returning to the Demon Suppression Department, he also spent a few days in the library, thoroughly reviewing information about demons and evil spirits.
Thus, it can be judged that the young girl encountered during the day was definitely not a demon.
Upon hearing this, Zhongchi couldn't help but ask, "Could it be a corpse puppet"
"Not a corpse puppet!"
Shen Changqing readily denied.
He wasn't unfamiliar with corpse puppets. Even if they were well-hidden, one could still discern some clues from their exterior.
>
“She wasn’t a corpse puppet, nor was she possessed by an evil spirit. Then it must be as Mr. Shen said, there was something sinister on that woman.”
Zhong Chi's expression was solemn.
Evil things, as the name suggests, are things that have been tainted with yin energy.
Generally, the birth of ominous and sinister things comes from only one path: anything created by demons and fiends will be tainted with an ominous aura.
A long time.
Zhong Chi said, "The Wan Hua Lou has an ominous aura, it must be related to demons. If it weren't for Lord Shen discovering this matter, we might have spent a lot of time before finding the problem."
After all, the aura emanating from sinister objects is too subtle.
Only someone as powerful as Lord Shen could perceive it fully.
"Since it's confirmed that the Wanhu Tower is connected to demons, things will be much simpler after we investigate. I'll have people enter the Wanhu Tower first to see if they can find any clues. Mr. Shen, please stay here for now."
"Wait until Tianchawei truly has no way to make progress, and then ask Shen to take action."
When Zhong Chi spoke, he bowed his hands.
Heavenly Guards also have their own dignity. If they always rely on others, then what use are the Heavenly Guards
This time, seeking aid from the Demon Suppression Division was just in case.
Investigation information doesn't need help from others, but when investigating, if you encounter some strong obstacles, then you need help.
>
As for Zhongchi's words, Shen Changqing did not object.
If the Heavenly Watch wants to save face, then let them save face. Ideally, I wouldn't have to get involved myself and would be able to have the matter of Wanhu Tower investigated this way.
That's it.
He earned some merit for nothing.
Since Lord Zhong has made a decision, we shall follow through with it. As for the whereabouts and movements of those apprentice exorcists within the city, I hope the Celestial Watch will deliver that information to me as soon as possible.
If they leave the city, please let me know immediately.
To get the rewards, we can't let those people die.
Anyway, according to the Zhenmo Si's opinion, it's enough to lend a hand when necessary. The rest is up to Xu Yi and the others to solve themselves.
As a parent, Shen Changqing felt it was necessary to keep abreast of what his children were thinking at all times.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhong Chi nodded: "No problem, as soon as there is any change, the information will be sent to Lord Shen's hands first."
That's all.
He stood up.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb Lord Shen's rest. Farewell!"
"Zhong-daren, walk slowly!"mbitious Emperors, and thereby deter other strong individuals.Now that all the other deities have left, it seems that the Upper Realm God Emperor's strategy was correct.Please provide me with the text...
