Chapter 8: The Thirty-first Year of the Qin Dynasty

only possible way to be in mortal danger right now.But when the Heavenly Emperor’s voice fell silent, there was no response for a long time. The other party's face also gradually became unsightly.To b...For femme fatale.

Shen Changqing was already very familiar with it.

Every month, I have to come to the Demon Suppression Prison six times. Every time I enter the Demon Suppression Prison, the first thing I see is this strange creature.

But what's strange is.

Every time the femme fatale appears, her appearance is no different from before.

Over time.

Shen Changqing was almost taken aback. A woman with such a seductive manner, she truly embodied the very essence of a seductive woman.

Two months' time.

He goes to the library every five days on time.

Apart from seeking out other martial arts, the rest is to find things related to demons and monsters.

These things.

According to reason, if you asked some formal demon-slaying experts for advice, you would be able to understand it.

It's a pity.

The Huangbu Exorcism Academy was large, but Shen Changqing didn't know any official exorcists, so there was no way to inquire about the situation.

As for Liu Chang, he seems to be a suitable candidate.

Though the other party's attitude was somewhat milder, they never answered his questions, only saying what they were willing to speak.

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

That's it.

Shen Changqing also admired the Zhenmo Si's free-range attitude.

Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

When recruiting new people, they only explain some basic rules and don't teach anything else. Everything else is left for them to figure out on their own.

So.

He could only rely on himself and found some information in the library.

Here is the translation of the content within the tags:

Also luckily, the other sections of the library weren't too numerous. The records of demons and monsters weren't your average kind.

As long as you go to the relevant area, you can pick up a book from the shelf at random, and it will be similar content.

Coming and going.

Shen Changqing also had a deep understanding of demons and ghosts.

In the thirty-first year of the Qin Dynasty, the sun and moon were obscured, stars fell from the sky, accompanied by fireballs. On the same day, demons and monsters appeared, wreaking havoc on the world and causing chaos throughout the land.

In order to maintain stability, the Qin Dynasty established the Demon Suppression Bureau, whose mission was to slay demons and quell all sorts of strange and eerie phenomena, thereby purging the world and ensuring peace!

Looking at the seductive woman before him, Shen Changqing recalled the information stored in his mind.

It can be seen.

Demons and monsters did not exist since ancient times, but appeared out of thin air in the 31st year of the Qin Dynasty.

>

Now it is the 380th year of the Qin Dynasty.

That is to say, demons and monsters have existed for over three hundred years.

While the Demon Suppression Office was established after the appearance of demons and monsters, despite having a history shorter than that of demons and monsters, it has also been around for about three hundred years.

“I always thought that demons and monsters were created after people died due to various changes. Now it seems I overthought things.”

Shen Changqing shook his head slightly and immediately left the cell where the alluring woman was held.

More than three hundred years.

Even though Da Qin was very curious about the origin of these things, he didn't figure them out. He knew better than to try and find out too much.

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

However, there is also a possibility.

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

That is, the Qin Dynasty had long since figured out the origin of demons and monsters, but for some reason they kept it sealed away.

It doesn't matter what kind.

It's not something that a small, novice demon slayer like himself could get involved in.

Passing the cell of the alluring woman, Shen Changqing walked along one cell after another. In less than half an hour, he had finished patrolling the second floor.

Inspection complete.

He had no intention of leaving and walked straight toward the third floor.

Just entered the third layer.

Then a shadow appeared in sight.

>

Shen Changqing's expression tightened, instinctively raising his pure yang zhenqi while focusing his gaze on the black shadow.

What I saw was not the expected monstrous and eerie demon, but a demon slayer.

Looking at the clothes on the other person.

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

Shen Changqing immediately understood, the person who came was like himself, a probationary demon slayer.

"Strange, wasn't I supposed to be patrolling the third level today How come there's another apprentice exorcist here!"

Looking at Shen Changqing, Meng Shan frowned.

Each layer of the Demon Suppression Prison only requires one person to patrol.

When he took on missions, he had never seen any other apprentice exorcists at the third level.

Although I am curious.

>

But Mount Meng did not reveal too much, only slightly bowed his hand: "Xuanbu apprentice demon slayer Mount Meng, dare to ask your honored name"

"Huangbu Apprentice Demon Slayer Shen Changqing!"

Shen Changqing also returned the salute with cupped hands.

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

He never expected to meet people from the Xuanbu Exorcism Academy here.

A simple greeting.

Both of them did not say anything more, only nodded slightly, then went their separate ways.

Standing at the exit of the third floor.

Mount Shang couldn't help but glance back, and immediately saw Shen Changqing's figure without stopping, walking straight towards the entrance of the fourth floor.

This scene.

His heart skipped a beat.

“To dare go to the fourth layer, it’s not something an ordinary Pulse Meridian Realm cultivator can do. When did the Yellow Department Exorcism Academy have such a formidable apprentice exorcist!”

As someone who had been there for half a year, Meng Shan knew very well how dangerous the fourth layer of the Demon Suppression Prison was.

Even now, with him being so close to the Meridian Connecting Realm, just one step away, he still wouldn't dare to go to the fourth layer.

A novice exorcist, yet he dares to do such a thing.

The opponent is either genuinely seeking death, or possesses immense strength comparable to a true demon slayer.

“Huangbu Exorcism Institute, Shen Changqing!”

Meng Shan silently recited in her heart, the name was already recorded.

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

An apprentice demon slayer who is qualified to go to the fourth layer, if the other party is not dead, then their strength is definitely not to be underestimated.

In the future, if I become a formal demon slayer, I might have to work with them.

However.

He didn't make much effort to inquire secretly either.

The Demon Suppression Division snooping into others' private lives will lead to disaster.

Moreover, in Meng Shan's view, Shen Changqing's strength was far superior to his own.

Unless you're unwilling to.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be foolish enough to walk into a trap.

On the other side.

Shen Changqing has already stepped into the fourth layer.

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

A mere novice demon slayer from the Xuanbu, that's all he is.

He remembered the name Mount Meng, but he had no other plans for now.

Before coming to the Devil Suppression Prison, he had been here no less than ten times, but Shen Changqing never wanted to enter the fourth layer.

But this time is different.

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

He successfully broke through to the third level of Pure Yang Gong two days ago. Reaching the third level out of nine levels of Pure Yang Gong is considered a small achievement.

Shen Changqing sensed that the pure yang zhenqi in his dantian was about one and a half times deeper than the zhenqi of the thirteen Taibao's past exercises.

That's it.

He will only step into the fourth layer.

“It's been ages since I last gained any kill points. Fourth floor, don't disappoint me!”

Under the impact of the cold, pure yang zhenqi automatically circulated, offsetting all the coldness within his body. Shen Changqing walked towards the first cell.

The layout of the fourth layer.

It's similar to the previous two layers.

As I approached the first cell, a wave of thick, metallic blood odor hit me.

>

The intensity of the blood was so strong that even Shen Changqing, who had become accustomed to the smell of blood, felt a sharp wave of nausea.

He took a step back and looked intently into the cell.

A creature with green scales, about human-sized, but with strange arms and no facial features on its face was bound there.

All limbs, the skull and other parts of the body were pierced with thick iron nails and forcibly fixed there.

Though there was a fierce struggle, not a single drop of blood flowed from the wound.

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

"Demon!"

Shen Changqing looked at the creature nailed to the cell, his face suddenly changed.

Demons, they are beings more advanced than monsters.

Any demon, left unchecked, has the potential to slaughter an entire city.

He had only ever seen depictions of demons in the library, but he had never actually encountered a living demon.

The demon before us.

It is the first one.

Looking at the demon, Shen Changqing could clearly feel the violent aura emanating from it, as well as the sickening smell of blood.

Even after looking at it for a long time.

One's heart will inevitably surge with fear.

Please note that ">>" appears to be a code placeholder, and I have removed it from the output. If you need help with translating specific content, please provide the actual text within the placeholders.

As for the various changes in his heart, Shen Changqing forced himself to remain calm.

Although demons may be strong.

Please note that the original input contains no text to translate, only the HTML tag `

But the prison cells of the Demon Suppression Prison are not so easily breached.

Don't be fooled by the simplicity of the prison cell, for it is meticulously designed with numerous safeguards to isolate and seal away its occupants.

Otherwise.

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

Those demons and monsters that were imprisoned have long since escaped.

Although his gaze was fixed on the demon, Shen Changqing's attention was already on his own panel.

"That's strange!"

"How could there be none"

Half an hour passed.

The killing value on the panel remained unchanged, and Shen Changqing's face gradually grew grim.

The killing value before

Everything comes from the corpses of demons.

"Wait! Demonic remnant!"

Shen Changqing thought of the key point, and suddenly withdrew his mind from the panel. Then he observed the demon in front of him again.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Demons' remains can provide killing points.

But the monsters before him couldn't provide any kill points.

Then the question arises.

There must be some differences between them, which is why you can't get kill points.

The most obvious difference.

It is the remnant of a demon, strictly speaking it is an inanimate object. Although it appears to be alive, it is not truly living in a meaningful sense.

As for this.

Shen Changqing learned about it through the library.

While a demonic remnant is not a living being, the demon before my eyes was undeniably alive.

...to understand the inner workings.

Shen Changqing had finally made up his mind.

“Killing points can only be obtained from slain demons, not from living demons.”

"Similarly, killing points cannot be obtained from living demons, so they certainly cannot be obtained from living monsters. That's why I didn't get any killing points from the monsters on the second floor."

Having sorted out the context, Shen Changqing had a good understanding of his own panel.

At least I have a general idea about how to get kill values.

The rest.

It was verified through practice.

But Shen Changqing also understands that he has no way to verify it now.

Because the demons and monsters in the Demon Suppression Prison were too strange, he didn't even have the right to kill them. Besides, with his strength, he wasn't capable of killing anything imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison.

"This matter can only be discussed later!"

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, but he was not disheartened. He went for another round, visiting the other cells on the fourth floor.

It's a pity.

The fourth layer holds living demons.

In the end, he could only leave helplessly.
