Chapter Ninety-Eight: Black Tiger Army
he Holy Emperor trod upon the void, black demonic qi sweeping across the emptiness. Within the demonic qi, it seemed as if countless souls were wailing and roaring. The sound alone was enough to terri...The Black Tiger Army was stationed outside the city and was responsible for guarding the city.
Since there were government offices in Jincheng to maintain order and the Black Tiger Army to deter any trouble, there wouldn't be any major disturbances on a daily basis. Therefore, there was no need for the Black Tiger Army to enter the city.
But now things are different.
Demons and evil spirits run rampant.
First there was the Eternal Covenant, then came the mysterious demonic forces, and now Jin City is teeming with hidden currents.
Single government office.
There's no way to stabilize the situation in the city.
It was bound to happen that the Black Tiger Army would make their move.
Immediately.
Of the 12,000 Black Tiger Army stationed outside the city, 2,000 were mobilized.

Chu Ding said: "These two thousand Black Tiger Army are the most elite among my twelve thousand Black Tiger Army. If two thousand people form an army formation, even innate martial artists and resentment-level demon spirits can be besieged and killed."
Even if a grandmaster were to appear in person, there would still be ways to deal with them.
This is a very basic example.
Hearing this.
Zhong Chi and Nie Xu both turned their gazes toward the large army standing in front of them.
Clad in black armor!

Sword hanging at the waist!
Wield a black spear!
Two thousand people, wearing black iron helmets and masks, with only their icy eyes exposed, looked like starving wolves in the night, sending a shiver down one's spine.
"The Black Tiger Army is truly one of the most powerful armies in Great Qin! Their strength is indeed formidable!"
To this, Zhong Chi couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
The Black Tiger Army before my eyes, if it were just one person, would perhaps be comparable to a martial artist of the tempered body realm.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But if two thousand people attack together, even a congenital martial artist could be killed instantly.
Because—
The Black Tiger Army is too strong!
As a member of the Heavenly Watch, he had a deep understanding of the Black Tiger Army's strength.
When the barbarian tribes invaded the Dahuang Prefecture in the past, the Heilong Army served as the main force to resist them.
Over the years.
The Dahuang Mansion was able to withstand the onslaught of the barbarian tribes, largely due to the valiant efforts of the Black Tiger Army.
After some reflection.
Once again, Zhong Chi said, "A few years ago, when the barbarians invaded Dahuang Mansion, it was said that a master was surrounded and killed by five thousand Black Tiger Army led by someone. Even in the martial world, a master is considered one of the top experts."
"Even before the Black Tiger Army, he could only fall in disgrace."
Received praise.

Chu Ding's face also wore a smile.
Nie Xu nodded. "With two thousand Black Tiger Army entering the city, I believe the demons inside shouldn't pose a major problem. Besides, Master Shen from the Demon Suppression Division is also there, which should be enough to stabilize the situation temporarily!"
"I hear that Master Shen, although now only a Yellow Rank Demon Slayer, is said to be extremely powerful. I wonder if this is truly the case."
Chu Ding's expression showed surprise.
He heard the name Shen Changqing more than once, from both Zhong Chi and Nie Xu.
Although their status wasn't high, they were still considered capable in Jin City.
It is wonderful to be so praised by both of you.
To be honest.
Chu Ding was also very curious about this.
>
Zhong Chi smiled faintly and lightly dodged the question.
"Master Shen's strength is indeed very powerful."
Night.
>
Jin City fell into a strange calm.
Perhaps it's because of the curfew, but there may be other reasons.
The city gate opened.
Zhong Chi had already quietly departed, only Nie Xu leading the way with two thousand Black Tiger soldiers entering the city.
"Master Nie, where should we go now"
In full armor, Wen Ce bowed and asked.
He is the commander of a thousand, and also the highest-ranking officer in the current two thousand Black Tiger Army.
Because Chu Ding needed to stay in the main camp, he couldn't move easily without an order. So, with two thousand Black Tiger Army entering the city, Wen Ce was the true commander.
Upon hearing the inquiry.
Nie Xu spoke in a low voice: "The Wan Hua Lou is the stronghold of the Eternal Alliance. Previously, people from the Demon Suppression Division fought demons there. This official believes that the Black Tiger Army should first go there to see if there are any remaining demons."
Besides, I heard that there are quite a few corpses of corpse puppets left behind, which also need to be dealt with.
The yamen's clerks are ordinary people, and dealing with corpses might be inconvenient for them, so I need your help.
No problem.
Wen Ce nodded.
The Black Tiger Army's entry into the city this time was to deal with demons and stabilize the order within the city.
Even handling the corpse of a puppet, is a good deed.
Very soon.
Nie Xu and Wen Ce, bringing with them two thousand Black Tiger soldiers, hurried to the location of the Wanhua Building.
The once grand Wan Hua Lou was now dilapidated and decrepit, as if abandoned for years. Outside, rotten corpses littered the ground, their black blood staining the stone pavement with deep pits of corrosion.
A foul stench emanated from it.
Seeing the corpse on the ground, Nie Xu didn't show any change in expression, but the stench made him cover his nose and mouth involuntarily.
Wen Ce remained composed and ordered the person beside him.
“You lead a thousand Black Tiger soldiers and seal off the entire street. Pay close attention to any unexpected situations.”
“At your command!”
That man took his orders with a fist salute and immediately led a thousand Black Tiger soldiers, bringing the entire street under their control.
Next.
Wen Ce then looked at another person.
“Gather all the corpses together, but be careful. The blood of a Corpse Puppet is highly corrosive to ordinary people. Make sure none of it gets on your skin.”
"At your command!"
Another person cupped his hands together, then led dozens of Black Tiger soldiers who were capable of moving corpses.
Then.
"You, lead your men and thoroughly investigate the surrounding area."
“At your command!”
"Be careful—"
Wen Ce reminded her of something.
Within his line of sight, the street where Wanhu Tower was located was nearly pitch black, with only the torches held by the Black Tiger Army dispelling some of the darkness.
Looking around, every house was dark.
Years of campaigning.
Wen Ce, faced with such a situation, could not possibly be careless.
Anyone who is not a fool can understand that there must be something wrong.
After giving the orders.
Wen Ce looked at Nie Xu: "Nie sir, do you have any different opinions on my actions"
“This official has no different opinions. General Wen, you are indeed a Black Tiger Army man, your actions are truly cautious.”
Nie Xu shook his head.
From beginning to end, he had never thought that he would be able to command the Black Tiger Army.
Although the civilian and military officials of the Qin Dynasty didn't exactly get along, they rarely interfered with each other's affairs.
Moreover, Nie Xu didn't think Wen Ce had done anything wrong.
Don't even mention the Black Tiger Army.
Even he could tell this street was different.
I just hope not too many people die!
Nie Xu silently prayed in his heart.
If too many people die in Jin City, he will also have a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Nie, why don't we go to Wanhu Tower and take a look"
Nie Xu looked at the dilapidated Wanhua Building before him, and took the first step inside.
Upon seeing this.
Nie Xu couldn't refuse either.
On the other side.
The centurion of the Black Tiger Army, along with hundreds of his men, began to search house by house.
Here you go!
Knock, knock!
Let me know if you have anything else you'd like translated!
A knock on the door echoed, but there was no movement inside. It seemed like there was no one home.
Please note: I only translated the text content within the tags. I did not change or interpret the HTML tags themselves.
"Master, there is no response inside."
The Black Tiger soldiers, as they were knocking on the door, turned their heads to look at the centurion.
Upon seeing this.
The centurion waved his hand and commanded coldly, "Break down the door!"
And that's it!
The Black Tiger Army soldier suddenly struck out with a palm, crashing down on the wooden door. The full force of his body tempering realm strike shattered the door into splinters.
A torch was thrown into it.
Banished the darkness from the room.
By that time, the Black Tiger Army soldier had entered the house.
At first glance, you can take in everything in the room.
Then.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.
He once again lifted the curtain and stepped into the inner room. On the bed lay a dark shadow.
Through the flames outside, one could dimly see that the black shadows on the bed were actually two corpses.
"We are late!"
The centurion held a torch, looking down at the corpse on the bed. His usually placid face had grown grim.
He was no stranger to corpses, that was a demon's handiwork.
The blood was drained, it can be said to be cruel.
Coming out of the bedroom, the centurion looked at the many Black Tiger soldiers in front of him and said in a deep voice, “Search every house thoroughly to see if there are any survivors!”
“Yes!”
Half an hour.
All the corpses of the puppet soldiers were thrown into the Wanhu Tower, and then incinerated along with the abandoned Wanhu Tower.
Wen Ce and Nie Xu, the two stood before the Wanhua Tower, watching as the fire ignited.
Not long.
Here is the text from your request translated into English:

The centurion leading the squad returned, bowing to Wen Ce: “My lord, after my men and I thoroughly investigated, every single inhabitant within the street where Wan Hua Lou is located is dead. They were all drained of their blood.”
>
And then he fell silent.
Nie Xu's face was as dark as water.
Before Wen Ce could speak, he stared intently at the centurion: "Is there absolutely no one left alive"
"Master Nie, it's true that they are all dead."
Nie Xu's chest heaved violently, his fists clenching involuntarily.
On a single street, there were hundreds of people, but now they are all dead at the hands of demons.
He didn't need to think to understand that this matter would have some impact tomorrow.
"Master Wen, this matter is not trivial. This official suspects that there are still other demons lurking in the city. I hope the Black Tiger Army can thoroughly investigate and ensure that no demon escapes."
Nie Xu's gaze, solemn and grave, fell upon Wen Ce.
"Don't worry, Lord Nie. The Black Tiger Army will handle this." Wen Ce nodded.
Bang!!
"Heaven's dryness leads to fire hazard, be careful!"
In the silent street, Wu Er's shout echoed through the air as his hand rhythmically tapped a bamboo stick, the sound reverberating off the quiet buildings.
Suddenly.
He paused, his eyebrows furrowing instinctively.
"Strange, today's streets seem longer than usual."
As a resident who had been living in Jincheng for a long time, Wu Er was intimately familiar with every nook and cranny of the city.
In daily life.

He will have to walk many times in the same area.
Don't say it's walking fast just by looking, even with your eyes closed, you can run very quickly.
>
That's because of familiarity.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Wu Ercai found that the streets he patrolled today were somewhat unusual.
“It seems I’ve been working too hard lately, which has left me mentally drained. I need to take a good rest tomorrow and can't go to Mrs. Liu's in Dongcheng.”
He shook his head, not thinking about it anymore, and continued walking forward.
"Dry weather, be careful of fire—"
