ruly furious.Luoyang City was slaughtered by demons, and people from the Eternal Alliance infiltrated as well.Nanyu Mansion was like an unguarded place, allowing the two to enter at will.Here is your...As for the sudden cold, Shen Changqing was no stranger to it.

In the past, such coldness appeared in the Demon Suppression Prison.

That's all.

The chill in front of me was still far less intense than that in the Demonic Suppression Prison.

But even if it's inferior, it's only compared to meridian practitioners. For those below the meridian level, it will still have a significant impact.

This looks like a fragment of HTML code. It doesn't contain any text that needs translating. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Turning his head to look at Zhang Long, Shen Changqing paused slightly, his face looking slightly pale.

"Head Zhang, it's best you withdraw outside the village and wait. I will handle the demons here myself."

"Sir Shen, you flatter me. Dealing with demons is everyone's responsibility, how could I possibly back down Besides, although Ancient Moon Village isn't large, it's not insignificant either. To accurately locate the demon's whereabouts, someone is still needed to guide us."

Zhang Long shook his head and refused. Although his face was pale, he did not show any sign of retreating.

See here.

Shen Changqing didn't force it.

The two walked silently through the village. At some point, the scorching sun overhead had gradually weakened, as if a layer of mist covered the entire village, completely isolating it from the outside world.

There were no crickets chirping, nor birds singing.

Only the faintest, most delicate footsteps could be heard in his ears.

Gradually.

An intangible pressure came from all directions, as if it could fill one's heart with endless fear.

But that sense of pressure, in front of Shen Changqing, was not very effective.

As someone who has been patrolling the Demon Jail for years, he has seen many strange and eerie demons and has a great understanding of these evil spirits.

According to intelligence.

The eerie creatures of Gǔ Yuè Village are only at the lowest level, classified as You-level. They don't even have the qualifications to be imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison and can't compare to those powerful demons and eerie beings.

While Shen Changqing was inspecting the Zhen Mo Prison, although there were restrictions in the cells, it was impossible to truly block everything completely.

So.

He has become largely immune to the influence of demons and evil spirits.

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

Even if there is still a slight influence, it will not be too much of an impact.

Zhang Long's face was now somewhat pale, but his demeanor remained calm.

“Lord Shen, that house ahead is where the evil spirits are dwelling.”

As they spoke, he had pointed to a house in the village.

That house was built of blue stone, differing greatly from the houses around it made of yellow earth. It looked quite out of place.

"This family is pretty wealthy, huh"

"The landlord of Gulyu Village was well-known, but unfortunately, demons wreaked havoc. Even with his wealth, he was of no use and died in his home. When people found him, he had already become a dried corpse."

Zhang Long sighed, he was also quite helpless against demons and monsters.

Shen Changqing said, "Where are those corpses now"

“Because the victims were killed by demons, we were worried that their bodies might change in some way. So after the coroner's examination, we cremated the bodies immediately to prevent the demons from harming people further using the corpses.”

"Hmm."

Hearing Zhang Long's answer, Shen Changqing nodded again.

>

The practice of the Lin'an City Government Office is indeed quite proper.

Some powerful demons can awaken the corpses of the dead to slaughter living beings. Cremating the bodies is essential.

During the conversation.

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

The two of them had already arrived in front of the house built from stacked blue stones.

When he truly arrived, Shen Changqing realized that what was called a house, even a sizable courtyard, was now locked up tight. An ominous aura seeped from within.

A palm strike.

Shen Changqing directly shattered the lock on the courtyard door and then pushed it open and walked in.

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

"Greetings, Master Shen! Your internal energy is formidable!"

Seeing the other party shatter the doorknob with a single palm strike, Zhang Long's expression also changed slightly.

Remember that.

The door lock is cast from pure iron, so it's not an easy feat to shatter it with true qi.

Shen Changqing's ability to achieve this step is evident in his strength.

While he was speaking.

Shen Changqing had already stepped into the courtyard.

The already dim environment had grown even darker. Although it wasn't pitch black, it was impossible to imagine that outside the sun was blazing in the sky.

The courtyard had a nameless tree, with lush foliage. Sadly, most of the leaves were already withered and yellowed. When the courtyard gate was pushed open, a slight breeze stirred, causing some of the yellow leaves to flutter down.

"Lord Shen, when these people were found, they were all dead in the master bedroom. Please follow me!"

Zhang Long's voice came from behind.

Then.

Then I saw him take the lead and walk toward one direction in the courtyard.

>

Shen Changqing saw this.

That is, he followed Zhang Long.

The other party was clearly very familiar with the courtyard. They didn't spend much time at all before arriving at a tightly shut door.

"Lord Shen, the very first place where the demons appeared was right here."

Zhang Long pointed to the door, his face becoming serious.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing kicked open the door with one foot, and the deafening sound echoed endlessly in the quiet courtyard.

He stepped into the room and saw a copper mirror placed there.

In that moment.

The surrounding scenery changed abruptly.

The room was still the same room, but compared to what had been seen before, it was now much more dilapidated, as if no one had lived there for many years.

Shen Changqing turned his head back, and behind him Zhang Long had disappeared at some point.

"Woooo~"

A muffled sob came from beside me, like someone was crying silently in a corner.

But soon.

The sobs vanished, replaced by cheerful laughter that echoed in the silent space.

Shen Changqing's gaze fell on the courtyard, and he just saw several indistinct black shadows running back and forth in the courtyard, chasing each other. Judging from their shapes, they should be a few children.

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

...and the toys they played with.

It is a round object being kicked back and forth.

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

Suddenly.

A child seemed to have put too much force into their throw, and the round ball flew toward Shen Changqing.

Suddenly.

The long sword suddenly unsheathed.

A frigid gleam flashed, instantly cleaving the circular object in two.

Fresh blood splattered.

The round object split in half and fell to the ground, revealing the two halves of a skull.

That severed skull, with its eyes wide open, stared at him relentlessly.

Shen Changqing walked over slowly, crushing one of the heads with his foot. As black blood splattered across the ground, he looked at the shadows in the courtyard with a slightly grim expression.

"Come to think of it, I've never actually fought a real monster!"

“Let me see just what tricks you have up your sleeves. If it's merely a simple illusion, then I'll be sorely disappointed—”

Just as he was walking towards her slowly.

A cold, sharp light suddenly rose from the dim surroundings, tearing everything apart.illing aura of death. Countless black mists surged and swirled, transforming into long swords or divine blades, each carrying a potent force of death that clashed with the sword energy.Two forces coll...
