Chapter 64: Heavenly Watch Arrives
already been made, there's no problem with making a second cut.Besides, given the current situation with Shen Changqing, all factions are temporarily keeping peace. There is no need to worry about any...The inner hall.

Shen Changqing was dressed in plain clothes and sat in the seat of honor.
Below him, however, stood an ordinary-looking middle-aged man.

"Your Excellency has summoned me by name, and I wish to know what brings you before my court"
From the actions and demeanor of middle-aged people, their blood and energy seem quite vigorous. However, whether they have entered the realm of Tongmai, Shen Changqing couldn't be entirely certain.

Pay attention to people's expressions and body language.
Breath sensing.
Not all of them are so easy to distinguish.
Especially for martial artists who have opened up their meridians, true energy is hidden within the dantian and meridians. Under normal circumstances, when true energy is not activated, it is difficult to detect any abnormalities.

And then he stopped speaking.

A middle-aged man bowed and smiled slightly: "I am Rong Yuan, from the Heavenly Watch Division under the Demon Suppression Office. It is an honor to meet Lord Shen!"
"Heavenly Watcher"
Shen Changqing raised an eyebrow, and seriously sized up the person in front of him again.
"You say you are a celestial watch, do you have any evidence"
“This is the identity token of Heavenly Watcher. Please, sir, have a look!”
Rongyuan took out a square token from his bosom and stepped forward, presenting it with both hands.
Shen Changqing reached out, took the token, flipped it over twice, and then returned it.
"Since you're from the Heavenly Watch, there's no need to stand. Please sit down."
"Thank you, Sir!"
Enohara retrieves his token and sits down in the seat at the bottom.
Throughout the entire interaction, his facial expressions remained respectful and showed no sign of impropriety.
As for his identity as a member of the Celestial Patrol, Shen Changqing didn't have any doubts. After all, impersonating a member of the Celestial Patrol wouldn't affect him in any way.
That's mainly it.
If someone were to impersonate the Celestial Guard, it wouldn't take long for the real Celestial Guard to notice.

At that time, it will also be exposed.
Looking at Rong Yuan, Shen Changqing said, "Your Excellency, what brings you here this time"
"The celestial observation posts of Lin'an City, which originally belonged to the Heaven Watch Bureau, were suddenly razed by demonic fiends. I wonder if Lord Shen has any news on this matter" Rong Yuan asked with a clasped fist.
"No news."
Shen Changqing shook his head.
"When I arrived, Si Tu Bei and the others were already dead. As for their bodies, I buried them under Yongfu Pawn Shop. If you want to see them, take some time to dig them up yourself. I believe they're still there."
That's all I have to say.
Just as Rong Yuan was about to speak, Shen Changqing spoke again.
“Don’t ask too much about the Celestial Guards. I have no intention of getting involved. The Yongfu pawnshop is still there. If any messages from the previous batch of Celestial Guards were left behind, you can look for them yourself.”
As for demons, I don't know much about them.
But judging from the current information, it is very likely that the Eternal Alliance people caused this commotion due to a dispute over demonic blood.
To be specific, I can't guarantee that.
After all, information gathering isn't the Demon Suppression Division's strong suit. As the eyes and ears of the Demon Suppression Division, the Heavenly Watch should have more intel than I do.
On hearing this.
Rongyuan smiled helplessly.
"Master Shen speaks quickly, and I have no more questions."
I've already asked all the questions I wanted, and they've answered them all.
That's about it, I guess there's nothing else to ask.
"By the way, Tian Cha Wei is well-connected and knows a lot of things. I wonder when the new county magistrate will be able to arrive."
Shen Changqing thought of an important matter.
It's been how many days now The new magistrate seems to be stuck on death's doorstep, and if he doesn't come soon, he fears he'll become the official magistrate.
Don't underestimate the magistrate of a small town.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
But compared to being a demon slayer, the title of county magistrate seems rather underwhelming.

And.
I can't go back to the Demon Slayer Division, and there's no direction for my martial arts training. If I rely solely on killing points to improve, the consumption will be enormous.
Now Shen Changqing only hoped that the new magistrate would arrive soon, so he could return to his post.
Upon hearing this, Rong Yuan cupped his hands and replied, "According to the Celestial Watch, the new magistrate is estimated to arrive in Lin'an City in one or two days."

In recent days, demonic disturbances have been widespread. Although the Demonic Suppression Divisions across the land have exerted their full strength to suppress them, they have still caused considerable impact.
Therefore, many things have been delayed.
"What is the extent of the damage caused by the demonic upheaval"
Shen Changqing keenly noticed that Rong Yuan's face grew unusually heavy when he mentioned the word "changes."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Of course, the loss is considerable."
Rong Yuan took a deep breath: "Five cities have been breached, nearly a million people are displaced, and the Demon Exterminators suffered heavy losses. Rumors say even several garrison commanders have fallen."
To speak of it, Lin'an City, where Lord Shen resided, was considered the city afflicted by demons and monsters that suffered the least losses.
At this point, a look of admiration also appeared on his face.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
In recent times, demons and fiends have become increasingly rampant, with attacks occurring throughout the Qin Empire to varying degrees.
Compared to other places.
The losses suffered by Lin'an City were indeed light.
Although Lin'an City was just a small town and the demons plaguing it weren't particularly powerful, Shen Changqing, who guarded Lin'an City, was only a yellow-ranked demon exterminator on the surface.
Of course.
In terms of true ability, the opponent is no weaker than a Xuan-ranked demon hunter.
Even so.
To protect a city from turmoil is no easy feat.
According to Rongyuan's understanding, the situation in Lin'an City was more complicated than just one or two vengeful spirits.
Faced with flattery.
Shen Changqing's expression was as usual, with a faint smile: "Your Excellency is being too kind. During my tenure, the yamen will do its best to provide all the convenience possible for Tianchawei's rebuilding of their outpost."
But for other matters, I'm unable to offer much assistance.
>
“The reconstruction of the stronghold would naturally be handled by the Tianchawei. I wouldn't dare trouble Lord Shen with such matters!”
In the midst of their conversation, Rong Yuan stood up.
“Now that everything is in disarray, I won't stay long. Farewell for now. I hope there will be an opportunity in the future to have a long conversation with Lord Shen.”
"Certainly."
Shen Changqing nodded slightly, then said in a loud voice: "Come here, send the guest!"
A government clerk walked in from outside.
"Your Excellency, please!"
“Shen sir, farewell!”
Wong Yuen bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
Watching the other party leave, Shen Changqing's eyes were deep, until Rong Yuan's figure completely disappeared from his line of sight, did he slowly withdraw his gaze.
“Heavenly Watcher—”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He mumbled the name a few times, Shen Changqing shook his head and chuckled.
He did not have too many plans involving Tianchawei.
Even Heavenly Watch and Exorcist Masters are subordinate to the Demon Suppression Division.
To be serious, the two sides are completely different departments.
Besides, he was only a temporary acting magistrate of Lin'an City. He would have to pack up and leave in just a few days. Even if he made good relations with the Heavenly Watch here, it wouldn't be of much help to him in the future.
Rather than wasting time.
It's better to just live a carefree life.
As soon as the new magistrate arrives, I can go back to the Demon Suppression Division.
On the other side.
Rongyuan left the government office and stepped into the crowd, then came to a street corner.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Not long after.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Eiji once again left the street corner, but his clothes and appearance were vastly different from before.
Turn left, then right.
Please note that the original text was empty.
Finally, he stopped in front of a small courtyard.
A rhythmic knocking sounded at the courtyard gate. Soon, the closed gate swung open and Rong Yuan strode inside.
The courtyard is different.
It looks like an ordinary house, nothing out of the ordinary.
When Rongyuan came, several people dressed as commoners all surrounded him at once.
>
"Glory is back!"
"Well then, have you seen Master Shen"
Several people took turns asking questions.
Rongyuan nodded: "That Lord Shen has already met me, but from his expression, he seems a bit distant towards me. He probably doesn't believe I am an Earth Watcher."
>
"It is said that he has slain many demons and devils, his strength is not to be underestimated." One person replied.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Indeed, it is not to be underestimated."
Rongyuan's expression was solemn, his eyes showing a hint of apprehension.
Here's the translated text:
Although I haven't seen him make a move, intelligence suggests that this Lord Shen is no ordinary man. He arrived in An City not long ago, but his hands are already stained with blood.
Only veteran powerful demonslayers of the Demon Suppression Division could be this ruthless.
"Just like him, he wasn't even a member of the Demon Suppression Department for long before his heart turned so cruel. He was born to be a talent for the Demon Suppression Department!"
A truly capable person is not necessarily someone to be feared.
But those who are truly formidable are the strong, capable individuals with ruthless hearts.
Then wait for the strong ones.
If you accidentally provoke them, you might die without knowing how.
Upon hearing this, several people also showed some apprehension on their faces.
Seeing this, Rong Yuan smiled and said, "However, we don't have much dealings with him. This time, the Tiancha Wei's stronghold in this area was destroyed by the Everlasting Alliance. The original stronghold is unusable, so we must find a new place as our base."
Additionally, it's also necessary to check at Yongfu Pawnshop and see if any past information can be found.
The Heavenly Watch of Lin'an City has been too lax. The Heavenly Watch is spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, and there are few examples where an entire outpost has been eradicated like this. This incident, once spread, will bring shame to our Heavenly Watch!
Anger appeared on one person's face.
A intelligence outpost, with no preparation whatsoever, was completely wiped out by demons.
>
Saying it out loud would just be a laughing stock.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Throughout history, every Tiancha Wei outpost that was eradicated was due to large-scale attacks by demons and evils, which ultimately led to its complete destruction.
Just like this now.
It's an incredible disgrace that the Eternal Alliance only had to send a demon to wipe out our base.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
>
Eiji cut off the other person's words directly.
Seeing this, the rest could only remain silent.
Immediately.
After some discussion, they fell silent.
When night fell, Rong Yuan led the two of them quietly into Yongfu Pawn Shop to look for any information that might be there.
Not until dawn did the three leave Yongfu pawnshop and mingle with the crowd. After several changes of appearance, they finally reunited at their original meeting point.
Two days have passed.
No one noticed that the owner of a certain tavern in Lin'an City had been replaced.
Everything remains the same.
The entire city of Lin'an was as tranquil as a still lake, with not the slightest ripple.
...but behind the scenes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Heavenly Watch had thoroughly spread out, gathering all information concerning Lin'an City and compiling it. This intelligence was then relayed to various Heavenly Watch outposts before finally reaching the hands of the Demon Suppression Division.
