Chapter Forty-Eight: Things You Can't Give Me
ce aura emanated from him silently.Suddenly, the burly man looked up slightly and saw a male eagle carrying a corpse down.>"The scouts of the Qin."A deep voice boomed, he just glanced at the corpse be...Inside the government office hall.
The two entered, following Shi Qingsheng's guidance, without regard to order.
"I am Cui Cheng (Zhao Yue) of the Guiyuan Sword Sect, I have met Master Shen!"

As soon as they saw Shen Changqing, Cui Cheng and the other bowed to greet him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Please sit down."
"Thank you, sir!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
After thanking each other, the two people sat down at the lower end.
As they sat down, Shen Changqing also took a good look at the people below him.
Return to the Yuanyuan Jianpai.
He didn't hear much about it, only from Situ Bei's mouth, that it was a martial arts sect from Guanghui Mansion.
Although there are no masters at the helm, its influence is still considerable.
Now when I see the two of them.
Shen Changqing didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary.
After all, although he was a congenital martial artist, it was difficult to detect much without a real confrontation between the two parties.
But according to the information given by Tiancha Wei.
Both Cui Cheng and Zhao Yue in front of me are late-stage pulse martial artists.
This is the time.
A clerk served tea.
Shen Changqing retracted his gaze and raised his teacup: “This official has always had no dealings with the Guiyuan Jianpai. The two suddenly came to my yamen today, I wonder what is the matter”
"Since my recent arrival in Lin'an City, I have heard tales of Master Shen's exploits in slaying demons and evildoers. My admiration knows no bounds. The purpose of my visit is to witness your esteemed presence firsthand."
Cui Cheng smiled slightly.
“At first sight of Lord Shen today, I now understand that the rumors were true.”
>
"Um."
Shen Changqing nodded: "This official has seen you now. If there's nothing else, you can go back."
"This—"
The smile on Cui Cheng's face froze for a moment.
He didn't expect that Shen Changqing would simply order him to leave.
The other party played cards outside the expected pattern, leaving them caught off guard.
But Cui Cheng had seen the world. Although Shen Changqing didn't play by the rules, he didn't show too much of an unusual reaction.
"Sir Shen is known for his straightforwardness, so I shall be equally direct."
“Your Excellency, if you have something to say, please speak directly.” Shen Changqing took a sip of tea, put the teacup back in its place with his hand, and his gaze fell on Cui Cheng again.

Upon seeing this.
Cui Cheng remained impassive, bowing and saying, "I hear that Lord Shen hails from the Demon Suppression Division. I believe you must have also heard the news about the imminent emergence of demonic essence blood!"
"I've heard of it."
Shen Changqing nodded.
He knew that Cui Cheng's purpose wouldn't be simple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Demons' blood.
Here is the English translation:
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
As soon as the other party opened their mouth, Shen Changqing could almost be certain what their purpose was.
>
" Cui Cheng said: "The blood of demons and monsters is about to be born. We are all here for this purpose. The blood of demons and monsters has existed in Lin'an City for hundreds of years. If the Demon Suppression Division really wanted the blood, they would have had many opportunities to take action."
To this day, the Demon Suppression Division has not been very active. It seems they simply don't care about the essence blood.
>
Of course, the Zhensha Si family is powerful and looks down upon demon essence blood. This is normal. But for us small sects and schools, demon essence blood is something we desperately desire.
He paused for a moment.
Then Cui Cheng's eyes burned with fervor: "But I wonder, Lord Shen, what are your thoughts on the blood of demons"
"Are you worried that I will seize it by force"
Shen Changqing replied with a noncommittal question.
Cui Cheng nodded directly: "Yes!"
“If I were to intervene and fight for it, what would you do And if I chose not to intervene, what would you do” Shen Changqing spoke calmly, his eyes never leaving the other person’s changing expressions.
Upon hearing this.
Cui Cheng bowed: "If Master Shen were to intervene in the competition, then the Guiyuan Sword School is willing to pay a portion of the price to prevent Master Shen from doing so. However, if Master Shen insists on intervening, the Guiyuan Sword School will withdraw directly."
But at present, it's not just my Gui Yuan Jian Pai who is vying for the essence blood. Even if my Gui Yuan Jian Pai withdraws, other factions may not be willing to do so either.
Similarly, if Senior Shen does not take action to compete, then it would naturally be a very good thing. If possible, the Yuanyuan Jianpai is also willing to give some benefits in exchange for the opportunity for Senior Shen to help out.
Choi Seung's words were very sincere.
There's no way.
The person before me is not merely a county magistrate, but someone who comes from the Demon Suppression Office.
Although the Gu Yuan Sword Sect wasn't small, before the Demon Suppression Division, it was no different from an ant.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If we truly offend the Demon Suppression Division, it will certainly not be a good thing.
Moreover.
In Cui Cheng's eyes, the other party might not consider demon blood valuable either. After all, the Demon Suppression Division killed so many demons, demon blood wasn't something difficult to obtain.
This is a treasure in the eyes of others, but to the Demon Suppression Division, it might be easily within reach.
Cui Cheng speaks directly.
Shen Changqing, seeing this, was also straightforward.
"Demon blood is of little value to me. As for helping you, frankly speaking, your Yuanjian school may not be able to afford the price."
He has already reached the realm of touching the outer gang.
Even the strongest warrior of the Gui Yuan Jian Pai is only at the Wai Gang realm.
The strongest schools are only those that practice outer energy. Unless they empty their coffers, how else can they satisfy a warrior who is nearly as powerful as an outer energy master
Besides.
The Demon Suppression Division wants nothing.
tags and left the HTML tags as they were.
Now Zhao Yue was a little worried. What if the two of them broke off talks What if Shen Changqing made a move and killed her Then what would she do
Ignoring Cui Cheng's embarrassment, Shen Changqing continued.
“My duty is simply to oversee Lin'an City. As long as you don't disrupt the order of Lin'an, feel free to vie for the demon blood as you please. I have nothing to do with it.”
Similarly, if there are demons and evils plaguing the city, as citizens of the Great Qin, you should also lend a helping hand within your capabilities.
"As Mr. Shen said, it is very true."
Cui Cheng hurriedly agreed.
"That's best then. There's nothing else to do, you can go back now. Don't worry that I will compete with you for the demon blood essence. But when it comes time to wipe out demons in the future, I hope none of you shirk your responsibility."
Whether you are from the Yuanyuan Sword Sect or the Qiyao Sect's Tiandao Gate, remember that you are all Qin people.
After Shen Changqing finished speaking, he picked up his teacup, having already directly sent off the guests.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Upon seeing this.
Then Cui Cheng couldn't say anything more, he could only stand up and bow: "Lord Shen, we shall take our leave now!"
After finishing their conversation, the two left the government office.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Shen Changqing's mouth curled into a slight smile.
The two people from the Guiyuan Sword Sect came to test if I had any thoughts about vying for demonic essence blood. This shows that in the eyes of these forces, I have already gained considerable weight.
This is the reason for this.
One is that he has the Demon Suppression Division standing behind him, and the other is related to what happened in the government office earlier.
Here's the translation:

"In these troubled times, demons and fiends run rampant, yet some still only focus on cleaning their own doorstep. How can such a mindset ever bring peace to the land"
Shen Changqing couldn't help but shake his head.
From the incident where the government office was attacked by demons from the Eternal Life Alliance, it can be seen that these martial arts sects all avoid confronting demons. They would not easily approach them at all.
Demons and ghosts are eerie and unpredictable. One moment of carelessness could lead to death.
>
After all, fear of death is a right that every person should have.
But to sit idly by and allow demons to run rampant, even within one's limited capacity, is simply unacceptable.
"A martial arts sect can remain standing until today, of course, it needs the support of the common people. But to receive the support of the common people and not do anything for them, what's the difference from a parasite I just hope you understand this!"
>
Shen Changqing thought of some cases he had seen before.
In fact.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Besides some necessary items, the library also contains many records about demons, ghosts and martial arts sects.
It was also written above that there was a sect of martial artists supported by the common people. However, when demons came, that sect went into seclusion and refused to come out, leaving countless townspeople to be slaughtered.
Afterwards.
Of course, the Demon Suppression Division had strong individuals who climbed the mountain and slaughtered every single one of the over a thousand disciples of that sect.
The incident caused a chill throughout the martial arts world.
>
But still, it was impossible to completely subdue those martial arts sects. As a result, there were always some forces that watched as demons wreaked havoc.
Some will be punished by the Demon Suppression Division.
Some found a suitable excuse to avoid the severe punishment of the Demon Suppression Division.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Whatever you do.
Having seen many cases, Shen Changqing had no good feelings towards the martial arts sects.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.
After Cui Cheng's visit, over the next few days, other factions and groups also came to pay their respects.
Not one exception.
They were all trying to test whether Shen Changqing or the Demon Suppression Division had any intentions of vying for the demon blood essence.
After making sure that Shen Changqing and the Town Demon Division had no such thoughts, they all left peacefully.
Thus far.
Lin'an City once again restored to its former tranquility.
In just a few days, Shen Changqing, aside from necessary social engagements, dedicated himself to cultivating his Tianwu Gang Qi with peace of mind.
Tianwu Gang Qi broke through to the eleventh layer, which has already touched the level of Wai Gang.
The more one cultivates.
The more he felt it, the thin layer of qi inside his body was undergoing some strange changes, causing a slight itch all over.
That's all.
>
It's not easy to break through the outer barrier with one's own talent.
A few days of quiet cultivation.
Shen Changqing, besides discovering that his control over the Heavenly Martial Qi had become stronger, hadn't experienced any other changes.
As for breaking through.
... not even a single stroke in his eight characters.
The leap from the eleventh to the twelfth level is no small feat.

"Innate power is divided into inner and outer forms. Once one cultivates outer power, a warrior's defense and attack will both increase significantly, surpassing the level of the inner form realm. If it were up to me, breaking through to the outer form might take a year and a half."

Unless a demonic entity provides sustenance, I stand little chance of hastening my breakthrough.
