Shen Changqing woke up before dawn.

During his year at the Demon Suppression Division, he had developed the habit of staying up late and waking up early.

Especially the cultivation of pure yang gong requires absorbing the first ray of purple energy between heaven and earth, which means it's impossible to start late.

Regular practice.

Feeling his pure yang energy growing stronger, Shen Changqing had a faint smile on his face.

Although there is still a considerable gap to break through the ninth level, it has made some progress after all.

Suddenly.

His ears twitched.

Then he got up and opened the door.

>

The door opened.

Zhang Long was seen raising his hand and making a knocking gesture just then.

"Good morning, Lord Shen!" Zhang Long was startled by the sudden opening of the door, but quickly regained his composure.

“Zhang, the head catcher, was also here early.”

Shen Changqing smiled.

As he was speaking, he had already walked to the table in the room and sat down.

>

"Please sit down, Captain Zhang!"

"Thank you, Lord Shen."

Zhang Long placed the object in his other hand on the table and sat down opposite Shen Changqing.

"Sir Shen probably hasn't eaten yet, these are some local snacks from Lin'an City. Sir Shen is so far away in the capital, he might not have a chance to taste them."

As they were speaking.

Zhang Long had already opened the oil paper, revealing some exquisitely made pastries. A fragrant aroma emanated from them, making one feel inexplicably at ease.

"Captain Zhang is a kind man."

Shen Changqing's smile widened a few points, causing Zhang Long to also smile slightly.

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

He casually picked up a pastry and took a light bite.

Speaking of which, Zhang the Head Hunter, do you have any other thoughts on these demons who caused this chaos

"As for demons and fiends, I don't know much about them. After all, I'm just a small-time bounty hunter, not qualified to deal with such things."

Zhang Long shook his head. When talking about demons and ghosts, his expression didn't change much.

>

Then.

Then Shen Changqing asked some other things, and Zhang Long could basically answer fluently.

for a moment.

The two of them also chatted for a long time.

Putting down the pastry in his hand, Shen Changqing stood up.

“Well then, Captain Zhang, why don't you take me there to have a look”

"Lord Shen, aren't you eating"

"I'm not hungry. Eating too much in the morning is bad for digestion. Let's talk about it after I finish dealing with things."

"Oh..."

Zhang Long couldn't help but be surprised, digestion It sounded a bit strange.

This is a test.

But he didn't think much about it.

Since Shen Changqing was going to take a look, he should accompany him.

After all, since the demons and monsters have been dealt with, we can all sleep soundly.

Walking on the street.

Shen Changqing looked at the bustling scene, and couldn't help but smile: "Although Lin'an City is not as prosperous as the capital city, it has a unique charm. Being able to stay here for a long time would surely be a wonderful thing."

"If Sir Shen enjoys himself, he can visit Lin'an City often in the future."

Chang Long, who was by his side, smiled and agreed.

With Long leading the way, Shen Changqing followed him out of the city.

Ten miles outside the city.

It isn't very far away.

> Just after leaving the city, there was no more sense of bustle and excitement. Instead, there was a desolate feeling of emptiness.

"Zhang Captain, where have those villagers who moved out of the village been relocated to"

When Shen Changqing spoke, he glanced at Zhang Long.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Long replied without hesitation, "Most villagers were resettled in nearby villages. Some with relatives in the city stayed there. However, for now, our main priority is to seal off the village where the demons appeared."

As for the rest, there aren't too many other requirements.

“Zhao, sir, you truly care for the people!”

"Zhao, the magistrate, served in Lin'an for twenty years and was indeed a good official. Over many years, wherever there were demons causing havoc, magistrates would change one after another. Only Zhao remained steadfast in his duty, unafraid of demon infestations."

When it comes to Zhao Fang, Zhang Long's face is filled with admiration.

Shen Changqing nodded in agreement.

The other party's words are indeed reasonable.

Demons.

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

To refer to demons and goblins is another way, because goblins are also called evil spirits, thus the title of demon.

Not long after.

The two of them arrived in front of a rice paddy. The crops were still lush and thriving, but something was missing—a certain vibrancy.

“Mr. Shen, the ancient Yue Village is just ahead.”

Zhang Long pointed to the village ahead and said in a low voice.

Gǔyuè Village, that's the village where demons and monsters used to wreak havoc.

>

Following Zhang Long's finger, Shen Changqing could see houses scattered in the distance, stretching out one after another.

Very soon.

The two of them crossed the rice paddies and came to the entrance of the village. There was a stone tablet there, inscribed with the three characters "Gǔ Yuè Village."

Apart from that.

There were six men in official robes standing outside the village. Each of them looked very tense, constantly glancing towards the village as if expecting some demon to burst out at any moment.

Even under the scorching sun right now, it can't offer much comfort.

"Captain Zhang!"

"Zhang the head catcher is here!"

When Zhang Long and Shen Changqing arrived, the faces of those few yamen officers immediately relaxed a lot.

Zhang Long's expression turned serious, and he gestured towards several yamen officers as he introduced the people beside him: "This is Shen Changqing, a high official from the Demon Suppression Division. He has come here especially to eliminate demons."

Demon Suppression Department!

As expected.

Those several yamen officials upon hearing the name "Town Demon Division," their faces immediately turned awed, and they looked towards Shen Changqing, bowing respectfully: "Greetings, Lord Shen!"

Although Shen Changqing's appearance looked quite young.

But they dared not show the slightest disrespect.

The three words of the Demon Suppression Division.

In the Qin Dynasty, he was a walking advertisement.

Here's the translation:

Anyone who can walk out of the Demon Suppression Office is definitely not a simple person.

“Well, so far, has anyone entered or left the village” Shen Changqing looked at the desolate scene in front of him and turned his head to one of the yamen servants.

Upon hearing this.

That guard felt an inexplicable amount of pressure.

"To report to Lord Shen, since the demons wreaked havoc, no one has been able to enter or leave the village!"

“Alright, I've already informed Lord Shen about this matter. You should return and report back. The rest is left to me and Lord Shen.” Zhang Long waved his hand, showing some impatience on his face.

"I shall retire!"

Those few yamen guards didn't dare say anything more, they could only bow and retreat.

Stay in place.

Only Shen Changqing and Zhang Long were left.

“Master Shen, are you entering the village now, or waiting for a specific time”

"Since you're already here, why not go take a look!"

Shen Changqing hung one hand down, the other pressed against the hilt of his sword, and stepped into Gu Yue Village.

Zhang Long saw this.

Immediately followed him into the village.

As soon as he stepped into the territory of Gu Yue Village, a sudden chill swept over him from all directions.

A chill swept over.

Suddenly, it aroused the pure yang zhenqi's body protection.at accomplished Blood Crocodile Emperor of the Divine Realm...Dongfang Zhao's eyes twitched slightly, glancing imperceptibly towards a certain corner.Among the humans right now, only the lord of Jinch...
