Chapter 162: Backed by the Imperial City
at doesn't mean there won't be later.There are two forces with the same origin, which naturally attract each other.If there was stormy weather, Shen Changqing could be certain that the Heavenly Thunde...Following behind Zhong Ning, Shen Changqing walked towards the depths of the Demon Suppression Division.
To be honest.
Of all the places in the vast Demon Suppression Bureau, the furthest he had ever been was to the Demon Prison.
After the Demon Suppression Prison, Shen Changqing no longer set foot there.
Once again, he stood before the blood-stained blue wall. He recognized this place—this was where the Demon Prison was located.
However.
Zhong Ning did not enter the Demon Suppressing Prison, but instead shifted his position slightly and arrived at an entrance to a passage.

There.
Someone is guarding it.
After breaking through to the Grandmaster level, Shen Changqing could also see that the two people guarding the passage were at least at the Innate realm.

After Zhong Ning displayed his ID card, the two guards respectfully let him pass.
entered the channel.
The surrounding light dimmed.
A slight footstep sounded, coupled with the dim surroundings, it felt quite eerie.
"The Demon Suppression Bureau is divided into numerous regions. Ordinary demon exorcists, at most, stop at the Demon Suppression Prison. To cross the Demon Suppression Prison and enter the areas behind it, only the Garrison Commanders or members of our Inward Sect are allowed."
Zhong Ning's words gave Shen Changqing a deeper understanding of the status of the Qianshen Pavilion.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Needless to say.
From the confidence in their words, you can understand the strength and transcendence of this place.
Zhong Ning said, "After the Demon-Subduing Prison is the Guardian's Courtyard. All the Guardians reside within the Guardian's Courtyard. And behind the Guardian's Courtyard lies the Sealing Demon Tower."
"Demon Sealing Tower"
Shen Changqing's face was puzzled, just from the name, it sounded like a place to seal demonic spirits.
If the Sealing Demon Tower is a place to seal demons, wouldn't the Demonic Prison also be a place to seal demons Aren't these two concepts contradictory
Zhong Ning kept his expression neutral and gave explanations to Shen Changqing's questions.
"The Demon Sealing Tower, as its name suggests, is a place to seal demons. In nature, it's similar to the Demon Suppressing Prison, but in fact, the Demon Sealing Tower is far superior to the Demon Suppressing Prison by many levels."
“The Demon Suppression Prison mainly seals some low-level monsters and demons of lower ranks, while the Sealing Tower imprisons extremely powerful demons.”
There, any demon unleashed would cause widespread suffering across an entire province.
Two places of sealing.
But the Demon Sealing Tower mainly seals demons, while the Demon Suppression Prison seals primarily on bizarre entities. Only the fourth and fifth layers have demons, but they are all low-level demons.
Therefore, it can be seen.
The demons sealed within the Demon Sealing Tower are absolutely not as simple as low-level demons.
Of course.
Even low-level demons possess formidable power.

In the library, Shen Changqing had some understanding of the strength of demons, but his knowledge was limited.
"What level of strength would a demonic beast possess"
“The strength of demons――”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Ning's steps paused for a moment before he continued forward, giving his response.
“Demons are beings that completely surpass humans. Any demon is not something a master swordsman can contend with, or rather, no current master swordsmen in the martial arts world can stand against them.”
He added, as a final remark.
Upon hearing this.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's face showed even more doubt.
>
What does this mean
...none of the current masters in the Jianghu could match him.
"What does 'words from seniors' mean"
If you don't understand, just ask.
Shen Changqing fully demonstrated this fine quality.
“You should understand that the Grandmasters are divided into two major systems. Any system taken to its extreme is incredibly powerful. However, in today's martial world, there isn't a single warrior who has reached the pinnacle of any one system.”
It's even more wishful thinking that both systems could reach their limits simultaneously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"As I understand it, any system pushed to its limits will possess incredibly powerful strength, surpassing even ordinary masters. Those who reach this realm are capable of rivaling demons."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, the only demons that can be countered are low-level demons.
To contend with more powerful demons, there's simply no way unless warriors could break the human limits.
Zhong Ning's face was full of melancholy.
To break through the limits of the human body has been a direction that Potentials Guild has been dedicated to researching since its inception.
>
It's a pity.
This is too difficult.
To this day, no martial artist has been able to break the limits of the human body.
Zhong Ning's explanation gave Shen Changqing a clear understanding of the strength of demons.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Immediately.
He thought of the town magistrate.
When asked about how to become a garrison commander, Dongfang Zhao remained evasive. Perhaps Zhong Ning, who stood before him, could shed some light on the matter.
"Seniors, do you know how to become a Garrison Commander"
As soon as the words left his mouth.
He added another sentence.
What is the difference between a "Zhen Shou Shi" and a "Zong Shi"
Zhong Ning saw this as nothing unusual, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Once a master understands the limits of a martial artist, they will ask the same question: How can one become a Grandmaster What is the difference between a Grandmaster and a Master"
"There are some things that you don't need to know about until you become a Warden, or are eligible to become one. All I can tell you for now is that Wardens are the only ones who can stand against demons."
>
They are also the true foundation of the Qin Dynasty, allowing it to stand firm against demonic chaos.
Even if there were many masters in the world, without a guardian general, they would be unable to withstand the demonic onslaught.
Demons tower over humanity, and in a certain sense, the Warden also towers over them.
Of course, if you truly entered the Qianshen Pavilion, even if you couldn't become the Guardian, you would still understand the secrets of the Guardian.
When Zhong Ning spoke, the two of them had already walked out of the corridor.
Unlike other parts of the Demon Suppression Office, behind the walls of the Demon Suppression Prison lie sprawling courtyards, resembling a cluster of palaces.
If we say.
Outside, people walk about all the time. Here, you wouldn't see a single person.
Zhong Ning pointed to the group of palaces ahead.
“That is where the Commander-in-Chief resides. Don't be fooled by the many palaces; in fact, many of them have been left vacant and are waiting for a new Commander-in-Chief to move in.”
Reasons for vacancy.
Shen Changqing didn't ask, because there was no need.
The only possibility for an empty garrison is that the magistrate in charge died in battle. That's it.
"That is the Demon Sealing Tower."
Zhong Ning suddenly shot out his hand, pointing to a gigantic pagoda in front of them, looking to be about a hundred meters tall.
The pagoda of Baizhang.
Whether it's inside the Demon Suppressing Division or outside the capital city, it can be clearly seen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even when he first came to the Town Demon Division, Shen Changqing had seen that pagoda from afar, but he didn't know its origins.
...until now.
After getting Zhong Ning's explanation, I truly understood.
Originally.
This pagoda is the Sealing Demon Tower, which seals the demons.
"The Demon Sealing Tower is the most important place in the Demonic Suppression Division, without a doubt. That's why the Warden's Courtyard is also located here, with the purpose of guarding the Demon Sealing Tower and preventing demons from breaking free from their seals and escaping."
Such a powerful demon, if it were to leave the Demon Sealing Tower, even though this is the capital city, there would be great trouble.
While Zhong Ning spoke, his footsteps didn't stop, he continued to walk forward.
"And in the Hidden Heart Pavilion, which is also at the back of the Guarding Institute, but differently, the Demon Sealing Tower is on the left, and the Hidden Heart Pavilion is on the right. That's all there is to it."
"Then what's behind the Qianshen Pavilion, or rather, what's behind the Demon Suppression Office"
Shen Changqing asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
According to what the other party said, Pintshing Pavilion and Fengmo Tower are both at the innermost part of Zhenmosis.
Inside and outside are relative, in a way, the innermost is similar to the outermost.
If the places outside of the Demon Suppression Division aren't safe enough, then the Seal Demon Tower might as well be placed in the center.
"Behind the Demon Suppression Division"
Zhong Ning smiled faintly, his words startling everyone.
“Behind the Demon Suppression Division is the Imperial City!”
The Imperial City!
Shen Changqing's face changed.
The capital city is divided into two parts: the outer and inner cities. But the true core essence lies not in the outer city nor the inner city, but in the imperial city.
The Forbidden City also has another saying, that is the Palace.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Behind the Demon Suppression Division lies the Imperial Palace!
Before, he wasn't clear about the location and importance of the Demon Suppression Division. But now, Shen Changqing truly understood.
It's backed by the imperial city.
It is indeed very safe.
Even without thinking, it's clear that the royal city is home to numerous powerful individuals, far surpassing any ordinary force.
The location of the Demon Sealing Tower is extremely safe. It's guarded by a commander in front and suppressed by the imperial city behind it. There's simply no safer place.
Even if something goes wrong.
Both parties will immediately dispatch powerful figures to suppress the situation, preventing it from escalating into a major problem.
When speaking.
Two people quickly passed through the guard courtyard. The towering Sealing Demon Tower, which was already very tall, seemed even more imposing and direct because of its proximity.
Even Shen Changqing couldn't stop thinking.
If this 100-zhang Sealing Demon Tower were to fall, it could crush a whole lot of people.
As he was lost in thought.
>
Jong Ning's footsteps stopped.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing followed the other person's gaze and saw a hall that looked like the Zhayang Hall appear before his eyes.
The main gate of the hall was open, above it hung a plaque with large characters: "Qianxin Pavilion." "This is Qianxin Pavilion," he said. "Come in with me!"
Zhong Ning said a word, and took the lead toward the Pinsen Pavilion.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing closely followed behind.
Entering the Qinshen Pavilion, my vision broadened. I could see numerous halls standing tall around me, with people constantly flowing in and out of them.
“Shouldn’t someone be guarding the entrance to the Qínxīn Pavilion”
“Of course, there are people guarding it, you just can't see them. This time it's me leading the way. If not for me, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of your Qinxing Pavilion. Don't think that being a late-stage Master is strong.”
In the depths of Potential Hall, there are many martial artists who have just begun their journey in the physical body.
Zhong Ning sneered.
Shen Changqing didn't seem annoyed by this.
Then.
And Zhong Ning said again.
"The Quintessence Pavilion is divided into four main areas: the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Exorcism Pavilion, the Sealing Demon Pavilion, and the Internal Affairs Pavilion."
“Among them, the Wuge primarily researches human limits. Those who can enter the Wuge are those who have strong talents in martial arts or possess extraordinary strength. Only such people stand a chance of breaking through the limits in the future.”e slaughtered by the chaotic spirits in just a few breaths.Moreover.When the physical body perished, chaotic spirits pursued its aura, venturing into the boundless void and invading the divine realm.>...
