Chapters Seventeen to Eighteen: Gathering Intelligence, Ghos
g to remain calm, with immense fear.Just—No matter how fearful he was in his heart, he never moved his steps.Finally.The demon pierced through his heart, without any pain.The next second.The illusion...“Where do you demons come from”
Shen Changqing once again asked this question.
After he finished speaking.
The second layer of demons all changed color.
And then.
Then a demon shook its head and said: “We cannot answer this question. If we do, we will surely die.”
As expected!
Shen Changqing pondered to himself.
Gu Cang had not deceived himself at first; these demons truly possessed a certain taboo.
Immediately.
He said again, "Let me give you an answer, and you just nod or shake your head. That should be fine, right"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a demon prepared to speak.
Shen Changqing's face turned cold.
"I hope you don't push your luck, or I won't hesitate to kill all of you."
The demon that was about to open its mouth suddenly closed it.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
See this.
Shen Changqing's expression eased slightly: "Did the demon clan come from outside the heavens"
A moment of silence.
A few demons nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He confirmed his long-held suspicions, demons really were from beyond the heavens.
The next moment.
Shen Changqing continued to ask.
"Is there a passage somewhere in the world that allows you to come here"
Please note that I've only translated the text within the tags. The HTML tags themselves remain unchanged.
The second layer of demons looked at each other, waiting for a while before one demon slowly nodded.
Upon seeing this.
His face turned cold again.
"Alright, let's change the rules. Any demon who answers a question can leave the Demon Tower, but only one demon can answer each question. Whoever is slow will be disqualified."
“Human, you are too despicable!”
A demon couldn't help but speak up.
Shen Changqing's eyes narrowed, and purple lightning shot out from his pupils, instantly shattering the opponent's physical body.
Bang!!
Flesh was flying.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A mid-level demon was wiped out in an instant.
This scene.
Let the remaining demons be struck silent with fear.
It's terrifying.
He effortlessly killed a mid-level demon with a single glance.
Such strength, placed among the demon clan, would be terrifyingly formidable.
While the remaining demons trembled in fear.
Shen Changqing waved his hand, removing all the iron chains and sealing magic nails from the demons' bodies, allowing them to regain some of their strength.
A sudden change.
Let these demons be filled with confusion.
However.
Though they had recovered their strength, they did not attack Shen Changqing directly like the demon at the beginning.
These demons are very clear.
In the face of such powerful beings, to act recklessly is to court death.
Please provide the content you'd like me to translate. I can handle a variety of languages!
That is a terrifying power.
Even if all the demons present joined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance.
“Follow me. Remember, anyone who dares to run away will have only themselves to blame. Of course, you can try, and see if you can escape from me.”
Shen Changqing calmly said a word, and walked towards the third floor with his hands behind his back.
The demons of the second layer looked at each other, but they didn't dare to say anything. They could only follow along.
Reached the third floor.
He remained silent, first selecting a lucky person and letting them go.
As expected.
The demon, just released from its seal, immediately charged towards the only human inside the Demon Sealing Tower.
Result.
<
Of course, goes without saying.
To really make a statement, Shen Changqing meant business.
Just one look, and the other party is utterly destroyed.
At once.
The demons that were originally roaring on the third layer are all silent now.
There's no way.
The humans who came were too strong, so strong that even the demons despaired.
At this time.
Another layer of demons has come up.
The demons on the third layer, seeing this, were utterly dumbfounded.
What's going on
"You guys explain things to them nicely, okay I don't want anything unpleasant to happen. After all, I'm not exactly known for my good temper."
Shen Changqing spoke calmly.
At last.
He added another sentence.
Every demon who opens its mouth proactively is answering a question, thus sparing itself from death.
As soon as these words were spoken.
Right away, demons impatiently started speaking.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"This is the Grand General of Qin, everyone, please don't get out of hand. The Grand General has no ill intent towards us, he just wants to ask some questions, as long as you cooperate and answer."
What cannot be spoken can simply be nodded or shook.
Besides, anyone who has answered a question once will be given the opportunity to leave here.
On hearing this.
The demons on the third layer had strange expressions.
Though they were still somewhat skeptical, seeing their fellow kin who had regained their freedom filled them with a glimmer of hope.
These demons.
Some have already been imprisoned for decades or even hundreds of years.
That is to say, there are other members of the same race here. Being able to speak with each other on a daily basis prevents them from completely losing their sanity.
Otherwise.
I couldn't take it anymore.
Here is the translation:Please note that I've only translated the text within the > tags, keeping the HTML tags as they are. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Now that there is a chance to leave the Demon Sealing Tower, no demon wants to give it up.
Looking at the many silent demons.
>
Chen Changqing nodded in satisfaction: “It seems you've all made up your minds. I hope you'll all abide by the rules. Remember, don't think that your numbers can rival me. Even a half-step demon god like the Ghost Saint was killed by me in Luoyang Prefecture.”
>
Unless you consider yourselves stronger than the Ghost Saint, then this is a path to your own demise.
The moment these words were uttered.
All ten-odd demons present turned pale with fright.
>
Ghost Saint!
Half-step demon god!
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
They knew exactly who the Ghost Saint was, and what realm the Half-Step Demon God represented.
>
A while ago.
Some people from the Demon Suppression Division brought the Ghost Saint's body into the Sealing Demon Tower, and some demons were not 100% sure about it.
Now that they heard Shen Changqing's words, they completely understood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Ghost Saint is truly fallen!
And it was killed by the person in front of him.
Half-step Demon God.
That's practically a being from legend. At their level, they're simply not worthy of true contact.
"Come with me!"
After glancing at the dozen or so demons, Shen Changqing remained calm and walked directly towards the fourth floor.
>
Behind them, the demons saw this and didn't dare to make any other moves. They could only obediently follow behind.
The fourth layer!
>
The fifth layer!
Every time Shen Changqing ascended a level, he followed the same pattern: first, he would release a demon to serve as an example, then he would speak.
Then.
There are also demons that follow behind, timely stepping forward to explain.
Very soon.
All the demons in the Demon Sealing Tower were gathered on the eighth floor.
Excluding the ninth level, which confines the remnants of a Ghost Saint.
The Eight-Layered Demon Sealing Tower, with all the demons combined, there are forty or fifty of them. Now they're all gathered here.
Fortunately.
The Sealing Demon Tower can greatly obstruct the leakage of sinister auras.
Otherwise, dozens of demons would converge, and the sinister aura alone would be enough to shake the heavens.
Looking at the many demons in front of me.
Here is the translation of your content, with HTML tags left intact:
Shen Changqing's gaze swept over the other person one by one.
A demon-taming tower.
Being able to imprison forty or fifty demons is a pretty large number.
Among them.
Two-thirds are intermediate demons, and one-third are high-level demons.
This ratio is pretty good as well.
That is to say, the Demon Sealing Tower does not record low-level demons, otherwise, the number of these demons would probably increase significantly.
This is the present moment.
Many demonic eyes were focused on Shen Changqing.
Some demons felt a surge of intense killing intent in their hearts, wanting to seize the advantage in numbers and directly kill the opponent.
But—
Thinking of the person before him, someone who could slay even a Ghost Saint, much of the killing intent in those demons' hearts dissipated.
A holy warrior capable of slaying ghosts.
At the very least, it's a being of the level of a demon saint.
If the Ghost Saint truly reached the level of a half-step demon god, then this Great Qin garrison commander's strength would be terrifyingly powerful.
Half-step demon god.
Towering above ordinary demonic saints.
The Demon Saint, once again, surpasses even the Great Demons. The Great Demons themselves tower over the High-Rank Demonic Beasts.
This is inside.
There are several levels of difference.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
The further you go, the gap between each realm cannot be bridged simply by quantity.
Facing such a powerful opponent.
Even if all the clansmen present attacked at the same time, they were probably no match for him.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
So.
Although the demons had murderous intentions in their hearts, they did not actually make a move.
Here is the English translation of your provided text, remembering to only translate the words within the tags and leave the tags themselves untouched:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not.
“I didn't kill you; I gave you a chance. I hope no one is foolish enough to miss it. Of course, you are welcome to try. See if your combined strength can stand against me.”
Shen Changqing felt the hidden killing intent, his face expressionless.
He is not afraid of demons causing trouble.
This is absolute confidence in one's own abilities.
Just dozens of demons.
To push oneself beyond previous limits, one must be cautious and deliberate.
Can be put in now.
That is, one can grasp it with bare hands.
Upon hearing this.
Many demons have fallen silent.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing continued, "I believe you're all familiar with the rules, so I won't waste your time. Anyone who answers my questions will be allowed to live, otherwise, just wait obediently for death!"
“General, please speak your mind directly. We shall certainly listen.”
The text you provided is:>There is no text content within the > tags.
A demonic creature's face twisted into a fawning expression.
Other demons, upon seeing this, all wore expressions of contempt.
What a shame!
A powerful demon clan member, bowing to a mere human Such news would be an utter disgrace if it were spread.
"Great!"
Shen Changqing nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the other demons.
"Listen carefully, the next question is, is the passage that leads you into this world located in the heavens"
The sound had not yet fallen.
Then demons and spirits surged forth, nodding their heads directly in response.
Shen Changqing asked again.
"Is there a certain limit to the number of demons that can enter this world"
The demon nodded.
"Does the celestial passage have some kind of prohibition"
Nodded again.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
"Are the restrictions on the passage between heaven and earth weakening"
Nodded.
Shen Changqing asked question after question. These questions were all guesses that the Demon Suppression Division had had before, but they were never able to confirm.
Now, from these demons, he was slowly piecing together the answers.
>
After a long time.
Shen Changqing asked another new question.
"Is the Demon God the strongest among your demon clan"
Once he saw the demons nod, he understood.
As expected.
The demon clan is where demon gods exist.
The ghost saint, a demigod of the demon tribe, is not the strongest among them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Next.
Shen Changqing continued to ask.
"Among the demon clan, are there multiple demon gods"
Nodded.
“Are there two demon gods among the demonic race”
Shaking head.
"Are there three demon gods in the demon race"
He shook his head again.
To clearly understand the strength of the demon race.
Shén Chángqīng gradually increased the number of monsters in his investigation.
> Last.
>
In the time of the Five Divine Demons.
In the end, even the demon nodded.
Got the answer.
He couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
"Five Fiends!"
If the powerful beings who made their move from afar back then were truly demons and gods, then the strength of the demon clan today would truly be overwhelming.
Based on your current abilities.
Even a demon god wouldn't be able to handle it.
If it were five demon gods, then there was nothing we could do but wait for death.
Then.
Shen Changqing asked again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Are there other races besides yours, I mean outside of your demonic race"
nodded!
Outside of heaven and earth, are there other human races
Nope!
Here is the translation of your provided text:***
**** Please note that I have preserved the HTML tags as instructed. Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Upon receiving this news, he fell silent.
There are other races, but there is no human race.
This is inside.
There are only two possibilities.
>
The first possibility is that humans are the beings of this heaven and earth, so they do not exist outside of it.
Here is the translation of your provided text:
That possibility isn't really anything special.
The second possibility is a bit of a hassle.
It means that all the human beings outside of heaven and earth have already been completely exterminated.
Of course.
There's also the possibility that these demons are deceiving me.
Chen Changqing was confident in his own abilities, but he had no way of knowing what truly lurked in the hearts of the demons.
These answers.
Whether it is true or false, one must still carefully consider.
But.
It's unlikely that this is fake.
After all, the answers from all the demons to these messages are consistent, it's just a matter of speed.
If there are demons who intend to deceive, other demons may likely provide the correct answer in order to survive.
That way.
Deceiving demons is just courting death.
He had dealings with the demon clan, and to say he believed they would sacrifice their lives for their own kind, Shen Changqing didn't.
At least.
Among so many demons present, it's impossible that every single one of them would be so careless.
That way.
The possibility that the message is fake is really not high.
Then.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing asked.
"The restrictions on you, were they placed by a demon god"
Nodded.
After receiving this answer, he fell silent again.
Shen Changqing was thinking.
Do you have any other questions
But with what I know now, there are not many questions that can be asked.
That's the end.
He looked at the demons and a smile appeared on his face.
“Your answers are not bad, but unfortunately, they haven't quite satisfied me.”
That's all.
He unleashed his physical strength, a violet thunderbolt rising from his body and instantly engulfing the entire eighth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower.
That terrifying power swept across.
This resulted in many demons having their physical bodies shattered.

"You're not trustworthy!"
“Kill—”
Upon Shen Changqing's sudden attack, those demons were furious.
Suddenly.
Some demons disregarded their own injuries and attacked, while others attacked the walls of the Sealing Demon Tower, trying to escape the chaos.
However.
Would Shen Changqing give them a chance
One finger print.
refers to the space of crushing by gang.
The number demon was directly swallowed by that terrifying power.
And then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Another palm strike was unleashed.
The palm strike, imbued with the power of thunder, exudes an aura that chills the heart.
Boom!!
Demons in the Sealing Demon Tower almost all fell in a single encounter.
A few realms' difference.
Let them be before Shen Changqing, as weak as ants.
In a few breaths.
Those demons have already suffered heavy casualties.
His face was emotionless, and with every step he took, a demonic body would shatter, its soul extinguished.
Not long.
The eighth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower was already a river of blood.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only after slaying the last demon did Shen Changqing cease his attack.
From beginning to end.
His face didn't change at all.
A promise is worthless.
What is two-faced
That's it.
Shen Changqing's heart was indifferent.
Integrity and trustworthiness.
That's something you only tell someone you know well.
To talk about integrity and morality to the enemy is utterly ridiculous.
Every demon imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Tower is guilty of heinous crimes. Each one has stained their claws with the blood of countless humans, a tally that is impossible to measure.
Don't say kill once.
Even if he were to kill ten times, he wouldn't feel it was too much.
Calm down.
I took a look at my own dashboard.
Name: Shen ChangqingPower: Dà Qín Town Demon DivisionIdentity: Dà Qín Garrison CommanderRealm: Immortal Golden BodyPhysical Body: Myriad Tribulations True Body (Third Stage)
Methods: Zhaxie Ji Mie Zhi (Double-Layered), Mu Cang Wu (Single-Layered), Tian Di Yi Dao Zan (Single-Layered)
Please provide me with the text you would like translated. I can help with that!
Martial Arts:
Slaughter: 25476
Power: 76
The kill count has hit a new high, exceeding 25,000.
This is the value.
This made Shen Changqing very satisfied.
However.
He also felt a little regret.
That means that even if all the demons in the Sealing Demon Tower were slaughtered, and their power was harvested, it wouldn't have been enough to allow the Myriad Tribulations True Form to break through to the fourth stage.
"No!"
"The demons of the Demon Sealing Tower have not been completely eradicated!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing looked at the entrance to the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower.
Last time he wanted to step in there, but a powerful force stopped him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This time.
That power could no longer be contained.
Walking slowly toward the entrance to the ninth floor.
A sense of déjà vu, a familiar power, once again took effect.
However.
This power was nothing to Shen Changqing anymore.
His body shook.
All power is utterly shattered.
He stepped onto the ninth floor.
Compared to the eighth layer.
The space of the ninth layer is also about the same size.
And in the very center, there was a half-body radiating an eerie presence.
That body, pierced by iron chains, was also covered in demon-sealing nails.
The wound was bleeding profusely, as if it would never stop.
Meanwhile, in another corner.
There was also a dilapidated body lying there, it was none other than the Ghost Saint's remains from the Meteorite Saint Pass.
"When did the Demon Suppression Office ever produce someone as strong as you!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A low voice sounded.
This sound.
Shen Changqing was naturally very familiar with the voice, because it came from the Ghost Saint.
>
He looked at the spot where the half-body was, and the voice came from there.
"I didn't expect you to be really alive!"
Shen Changqing felt a bit sentimental.
The vitality of the demon clan is truly terrifyingly strong.
Even if the main body perishes and is sealed here as a half-body, it can remain active for a hundred years.
In other words.
For instance, powerful beings like this, if they were to separate a portion of their flesh, spirit, and soul beforehand and place it in a hidden location, they could basically ensure their own immortality.
However.
Such practice also has a major drawback.
That is, after the flesh and soul are separated, if they are too weak, it will be difficult to retain for too long. Even if they are retained, it will be extremely difficult to revive them.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
> If the remaining strength is too much, it is the greatest degree of weakening oneself.
>
Just like a ghost saint.
Half of its body was severed, and it took a hundred years to dare to surface again.
That century of time.
It goes without saying what the other party is doing.
Hearing this.
>
The remnant body of the Ghost Saint trembled.
"Could it be that my true form falls to you"
Although he now only possessed half of his soul, his perception was still incredibly powerful. He could clearly sense the terrifying power emanating from Shen Changqing.
Such power.
Let them all be shocked.
"Very well, your true form shall fall to me."
Shen Changqing admitted frankly.
The remnant of the Ghost Saint said, "So you've come to kill me now"
"Not bad."
"As expected—"
The Ghost Saint fell silent for a long while.
At this time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing shifted his tone, softening it slightly: "But I have a few questions I want to ask you. If you answer them, I might be able to give you a chance to live."
You won't, you can fool them, but you can't fool me.
The ghostly saint's remaining body spoke in a calm voice.
It was evident that the events happening on the eighth floor were already within his awareness.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This time, it was Shen Changqing's turn to fall silent.
The most awkward thing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There is nothing worse than being caught in a lie.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! I can handle a variety of languages.
The ghostly remnant of the Saint spoke: “In truth, when I was imprisoned in the Devil Sealing Tower, I already foresaw this outcome. Even if you spared my life, once I left the Devil Sealing Tower, my true form would not have let me go.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Anyway, it's death no matter what, so why bother caring who deals it.
He is the other half of the Ghost Saint's body, and the soul remaining inside him is also half of the Ghost Saint's soul.
The problem is.
A century has passed.
The main body must have already made up for that missing half of its soul.
Thus, it is so.
Once I leave the Demon Sealing Tower, my true form will definitely come and devour him, transforming him into its own power.
A century of separation.
Although souls originate from the same source, they have developed distinct thoughts and are no longer as simple as they once were.
Upon hearing this.
Shen Changqing now understood why the Ghost Saint's remnant body was so calm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And—
“Since my physical form has fallen into your hands, you wouldn't dare let this holy being escape. A demon saint, even a gravely injured one, is a catastrophic disaster for ordinary humans.”
"A grudge like this is unbreakable, how could you, as the general in charge of guarding Qin, let your enemy go free"
The Ghost Saint's remaining body is easily seen through.
Once I entered the Demon Sealing Tower, the ending was already decided.
Even though he didn't die, it wouldn't change anything if he stayed or left.
Now that the main body is dead, there's no way he can leave.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
“It seems like you've already made up your mind!”
With a deep breath, Shen Changqing felt helpless.
Faced with such a serene and open ghost saint's remains, he had given up on the possibility of getting answers from it.
At the same time.
Shen Changqing also discovered a problem.
That is the temperament of the ghost saint's remnant body, which is very different from the ghost saint in the Meteor Saint's Gate.
The former is more open-minded and confident in their speech.
The latter's words.
That's quite a difference.
However, there is one thing I can tell you, that is the demon god is very strong, much stronger than you are now. Even if you can kill me, you would still be no match for the demon god's power.
In just a short while, the demon god will officially descend.
It's just a pipe dream to think you can turn the tide single-handedly.
The spectral saint's remains spoke slowly.
