Chapter Six: The Exorcist Remains Unreturned
a Divine Realm fifth level, at least one less competitor. Otherwise, if a powerful genius came in, I and others might be eliminated."Upon hearing this.The remaining cultivators were silent.You are ri...Tan Tianji's face was taken aback for a moment, then he let out a dry laugh.

“The affairs of the garrison commander are not my concern, old man. If you have any ideas, you can go to the Eastern Garrison Commander. However, since you have joined the Wu Pavilion, there is no need to necessarily follow the path of the garrison commander.”
>
With your talents, you could certainly try to push the limits of human potential.
If it truly cannot be done, then consider whether the path of a garrison commander would be better.
>
The other party's words.
Let Shen Changqing's brows furrow.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What does ... mean
Could it be that breaking the human body's path is better than becoming a guardian
But that's not impossible either. If becoming a Guardian is truly good, why would Wugé waste time trying to break the limits of the human body
Tan Tianji said: "The two systems are completely different paths. It's not that breaking through the human limit will necessarily be better than being a guardian, in fact, the difficulty of becoming a guardian is also not small."
Anyway, if you really have an idea, you can go and talk to the Commandant.
"Thank you, Elder Tan, for clearing things up!"
Shen Changqing could not ask any further, so he could only bow and thank him.
Just as he was about to leave.
Tán Tiānjī suddenly called out to him.
"Wait!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Elder Tan, is there anything else"
“Things haven't been peaceful in the country recently. A few days ago, someone from the Demon Suppression Division came looking for you, but because you were in seclusion, I refused them. Right now, if you come out of seclusion, it would be best to meet with the Eastern Garrison Commander.”
Than Tianji said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Unrest!
Shen Changqing frowned again.
The other person spoke in riddles, but he could pick out some things from their words.
No country is peaceful.
It may involve many factors.
But if it's related to the Demon Suppression Division, then there seem to be fewer options to choose from.
Demon!
"Have demons appeared in the capital city"
"Not bad." Tan Tianji nodded. "Two days ago, a demon attacked the government office, killing many civilians. At the same time, there were also traces of demons appearing in other places within the scope of the capital city."
"Didn't the Demon Suppression Division handle this"
“When demons appear, the Demon Suppression Division would naturally handle it. Currently, demon slayers residing in the capital have been dispatched en masse, but they haven't quelled much of the situation, and to this day, many demon slayers remain unaccounted for.”
The Demon Slayer is not back!
Shen Changqing's heart sank slightly.
He understood that what Tan Tianji meant by "unreturned" might very well be synonymous with death.
I was just in seclusion for two months, and the situation in the capital has actually worsened.
After leaving the Qianshen Pavilion, Shen Changqing did not immediately seek out Dongfang Zhao, but instead went to the black market first.
Two months' time.
The auction at Yuan Yang Auction House must have yielded some results.
According to the original agreement, I was supposed to go once a month, but because of my seclusion, I haven't gone yet.
“Demons have already invaded the capital, and the Qin situation is likely to worsen. I can only improve my own strength to have a chance of surviving!”
Strength enhancement comes from kill points.
And the source of the kill value must certainly come from demons.
Therefore.
Shen Changqing went to Yuanyang Auction House now, just to improve his own strength.
Here again in the black market.
Compared to last time, there are many fewer people.
The last time I came to the black market, it was still bustling with people. Now, the number of people has dropped by two-thirds.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He suspected.
The decrease in the black market's population is also related to the rampant demon and evil spirits.
After all, the people in the black market are also human.
Within the imperial capital's borders, demons run rampant. Therefore, no one dares to approach this place.
Ultimately.
Many martial artists are very wary of demons.
That kind of thing comes and goes without a trace, and if you're not careful, you could easily end up falling into trouble.
That's it.
These things weren't something Shen Changqing should be thinking about. He walked straight towards Yuanyang Auction House.
entered the auction hall.
What greets me is still the same attendant as last time.
Because Shen Changqing hadn't concealed his identity, the attendant recognized him immediately upon seeing him.
"Master Shen!"
"So it's you. I want to see number one."
Shen Changqing also had some memories of this attendant.
By this level, anyone he'd met and everything he'd seen would leave some kind of impression on him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The attendant nodded. "Please, Master Shen, enter the side room and have a seat. I will go report this immediately."
That's all.
He brought Shen Changqing into the side room and immediately went to report.
Less than a cup of tea.
This is a bit of a tricky one! It looks like you're asking me to translate the content within " > " tags. However, there's no actual *content* inside those tags. Could you please provide the text you'd like me to translate I'm happy to help once I have the actual words!
The headman walked in from outside.
As last time, there were two maidservants following behind her, each holding a sandalwood box in their hands.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A wooden box was placed on the desk, and the maid retreated.
After the head sat down, he pointed to the wooden box and said: “According to Mr. Shen’s request, over the past two months, Yuanyang Auction House has been collecting all sorts of monsters with full force. The wooden box contains a total of one resentful-grade early stage, two ghostly-grade late stages, and three ghostly-grade early stage monsters.”
According to the rules, a Ghostly Grade early stage weapon costs five thousand taels, three heads is fifteen thousand taels. A Ghostly Grade late stage weapon costs thirty thousand taels, two heads is sixty thousand taels, plus one head of Grieving Grade early stage worth one hundred thousand taels.
Therefore, all six demon heads added together totaled one hundred and seventy-five thousand taels.
"No problem."
Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction.
Over two months, we collected six demonic beasts, and one of them was at the beginning stage of resentment. The efficiency is indeed good.
He originally thought that the Yuanyang Auction House could give him a few heads of You-level ones, which was already very good.
Seeing Shen Changqing satisfied.
Number One was also smiling: "Last time, Lord Shen had 1.37 million taels left. Now, after deducting 175,000 taels, there are 1.195 million taels left. The number is correct, right"
"You are right."
Shen Changqing nodded.
Then he continued, "The rest of the hope is that the officials can exert more effort in collecting. Right now, the world is not peaceful, and Shen is also worried that too many demons will wreak havoc and harm the people of Qin."
Therefore, the more demons and spirits your auction house collects, the better. As for the price, it won't be a problem.
The head honcho said, "We know Lord Shen is wealthy and generous. You mentioned a few months ago that you would auction off martial arts secrets, and we helped spread the word. Now it's causing quite a stir in the martial arts world."
Then, Mr. Shen will surely make a lot of money.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"Okay."
Sheng Changqing could hear the hidden meaning in the other person's words.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
It's just a reminder to him not to forget about the auction of martial arts.
It's very obvious.
Yuan Yang Auction House spared no effort in its promotional efforts, as the other party also aimed to make a substantial profit at the next auction and was afraid of going back on their word.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That's it.
Shen Changqing didn't have any intention of breaking the appointment.
He is short of money.
Moreover, there is a significant amount of money missing.
He has tasted the sweetness of collecting demons, now he needs a large sum of silver. Otherwise, even with demons in hand, no one would sell to him.
“I am waiting for good news from Master Shen.”
“I will certainly not disappoint the person in charge.”
Shen Changqing smiled, then got up from his seat and strapped two rosewood boxes onto his back.
"With so much work for the Demon Suppression Department nowadays, I, Shen, cannot stay long. Farewell."
"Mr. Shen, walk slowly!"
In the passionate gaze of the number one manager, Shen Changqing carried two zitan wooden boxes and left. After leaving the black market, he stopped.
Open the wooden box.
Please note that the original content was empty. I have only retained the HTML tag as instructed.
Just like last time, place four black banners on all sides.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Every black banner contains a varying amount of sinister energy.
From here alone, it can be seen that the methods of the side gates are roughly the same. Everyone's method of sealing demons is to use a black banner to seal them. It seems that besides the black banner, nothing else is used.
Holding the black banner in his hand.
Shen Changqing's brows furrowed, and a surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body.
Boom--
A gust of wind suddenly arose, and the sealing power on the black banner was immediately shattered by the impact of the psychic force.
"As expected, it works!"
When he saw the seal on the black banner had failed, a smile appeared on his face.
Things before this.
Shen Changqing suspected that the seal runes on the black banner were probably related to the spiritual aspect.
>
After all, demons and ghosts are intangible and formless. They mostly attack people through their spirits. Malevolent spirits possessing people are also a spiritual tactic.
True Qi and rich blood essence can indirectly harm demons.
>
But this doesn't mean that demons and evil spirits are unrelated to the spiritual realm.
Similarly.
To seal demons, the methods used must certainly be related to the spiritual realm.
As the saying goes, everything is interrelated and interdependent.
It's just like water and fire. Water can extinguish fire, but fire can evaporate water. The sealed runes and demons are equivalent to the two sides of water and fire. If the former is stronger than the latter, it can seal the latter.
But if the latter is stronger than the former, then the latter can break the seal.
Now Shen Changqing is using his spiritual power to strike the black banner, which is akin to a powerful demon using its own strength to attack the black banner.
The difference is.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
His spiritual power was devoid of any sinister aura.
But whether there is a sinister aura or not is secondary.
Anyway, since it's all about spiritual power, it should be able to break the seal within the black banner.
This is the moment.
The seal within the four black banners was broken, and the six demonic beasts sealed inside were instantly released.
In an instant.
A thick, terrifyingly sinister aura erupted, instantly engulfing Shen Changqing.
Wailing souls.
The demons roared with fury.
Shen Changqing stood rooted to the spot, his sea of consciousness rippling with the awakening of a hundred battles' worth of intent. Blood-colored iron cavalry surged from the void, instantly tearing through the oppressive aura of the demons and crashing into them with devastating force.
“Ah—”
A three-headed ghoul at the early stage of the Phantom Rank, merely let out a shrill, mournful cry before being obliterated in front of the Crimson Iron Cavalry.
Both ghostly creatures from the late stages of the Two-Headed Specter were wounded, their forms becoming even more ethereal.
... Lastly.
That early stage grudge monster, however, shrieked sharply and then ran away in another direction.
"Want to leave!"
At the same time Shen Changqing let out a cold snort and took a step forward, unleashing a palm strike imbued with scorching power. The two severely wounded demonic beasts were completely devoured in an instant.
The next moment.
He had crept close to the last demon's back and then clenched his fist, delivering a powerful blow.
As eerie as a vengeful spirit.
Before this punch, there was no resistance whatsoever, it was effortlessly torn in half.
This is a test.
