Chapter 148-49 As long as I am here, it cannot be broken (two-in-one, please vote for me)
From Xing Yi's words, Shen Changqing had a comprehensive understanding of the situation within the jurisdiction of Poshan City.
Wait until the other person has finished speaking.
He then spoke slowly: "Are you saying that in the past, within the jurisdiction of the Demon Suppression Department, although there were some demonic movements, they were not very intense. It is only recently that they have become more frequent and active?"
"That's right."
Xing Yi nodded.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing found a stone bench and sat down, then pointed to the empty seat opposite.
"Mr. Xing, there's no need to stand, sit down and chat."
"Thank you."
Xing Yi sat down opposite.
After the other party sat down, Shen Changqing continued to ask.
"Except for the Demon Division in Broken Mountain Town, is there any action in other places in Nanyou Mansion?"
"As early as before, within the jurisdiction of Nanhai City and Baiyue City, evil and evil movements were already very frequent."
"So what you're saying is that the evil movements in Nanhai City and Baiyue City happened earlier than in Poshan City?"
Shen Changqing grasped an important point.
Regarding this.
Xing Yi nodded.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.
It is inevitable that evil spirits will take action.
If he were on the evil side, he wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
Finally, a Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect emerged, knocking down the power of the Demon Suppressing Division, and causing the Demon Suppressing Division to lose its troops.
It would be really strange if Yaoxie didn't seize this opportunity.
"There is no doubt that the Yaoxie clan will take this opportunity to attack the Demon-Suppressing Division, but the terrain of Nanyou Mansion is vast, and if the Yaoxie clan launches a full-scale attack, it will require too much force.
But if we defeat them one by one, the losses will be much less."
Shen Changqing looked calm.
When Xing Yi heard this, his face couldn't help but move.
"Does Elder Shen think that the Yaoxie clan wants to choose one of the three demon-suppressing divisions to take action?"
"If you were a member of the Yaoxie clan, would you choose to start a full-scale war with Nanyou Mansion, or defeat them one by one?"
Shen Changqing did not answer the question.
The voice fell.
Xing Yi nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, compared with an all-out war in Nanyou Mansion, defeating them one by one is the best way to maximize the benefits.
And now that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect is in the spotlight, the other party's attitude is also unclear.
If the Yaoxie clan launches a full-scale attack on Nanyou Mansion at this time, it might also trigger a backlash from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, which would make the gains outweigh the losses."
Although the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect is now hostile to the Demon Suppressing Division.
But if you say it seriously.
In fact, the other party did not abandon his human identity and turn to the evil side.
Facing evil things.
There is no need for the two forces to fight to the death.
but.
From the fall of the guardian envoy to the current loss of troops and generals of the Suppressing Demon Division, the two forces are destined to have no possibility of relaxation.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
The Qin Dynasty had dominated the world for more than three hundred years, but it would not allow forces that were not subject to its control to exist in its own territory.
Shen Changqing said: "It is inevitable to defeat them one by one. What we have to figure out now is which demon-suppressing division the evil side is targeting.
Is it our Poshan City, Nanhai City or Baiyue City?
They just don't make any moves, but once they are ready to attack, they will be like thunder!"
Hear the words.
Xing Yi felt heavy in his heart.
yes.
It's okay if the evil spirits don't attack. Once they attack, the momentum will definitely not be small.
You can see this from the scene of the attack on the capital some time ago.
Needless to say, those who are below the level of demons are no longer few in number.
Even monsters appeared a lot.
The leader of the Eternal Alliance, who had been lurking for a long time without showing up, finally took action himself.
Fortunately.
Dongfang Zhao's strength was astonishing. Even if Yaoxie launched such an offensive, he was able to block it all by himself.
However.
The Demon-Sealing Tower was also invaded by rebels, and the great demon that had been sealed for a long time escaped.
It can be seen from this.
When the evil clan doesn't take action, it doesn't seem like much of a threat, but when it really decides to take action, it's like a world-shattering momentum.
At present, the power of the three major demon-suppressing divisions in Nanyou Mansion is almost always on display.
If the demonic clan were to attack, the strength prepared would definitely not be weaker than the apparent strength of the Demon Suppressor.
When Xing Yi was silent.
Shen Changqing asked some more questions.
a long time.
He integrated the information and saw something was wrong.
"If you put it this way, the demons in Baiyue City and Nanhai City became much more active first, and then our Poshan City?"
"That's right."
Xing Yi nodded, and then seemed to think of something.
"Elder Shen means..."
"If you are a member of the evil clan and there are three major demon-suppressing divisions in front of you, what kind of preparations will you make if you want to take action against one of them?"
"I will definitely do it secretly so that the other two demon suppressors won't notice."
Xing Yi replied without thinking.
Shen Changqing said: "What if there is no way to do it secretly?"
"Then use other means to entangle them so that they can't escape temporarily..."
At this point, Xing Yi paused, with a shocked look on his face.
"Elder Shen means that the evil clan is preparing to attack our Poshan City. The current situation of the other two demon-suppressing divisions is actually just a cover-up?"
As for the news, he just got it not long ago.
so.
I don’t have time to analyze too much in depth.
Now after hearing Shen Changqing's words, all the fog has been lifted.
Shen Changqing pondered for a moment: "This is just my guess. I can't be 100% sure for the time being, but assuming that if the target of the evil clan is really to break the mountain city, then they should not increase their actions to break the mountain city now and cause us The vigilance is.
Unless, they have other purposes..."
Without waiting for Xing Yi's answer.
He then said to himself: "Although Poshan City is a branch of the Demon Suppressing Division, it has existed for many years and has a profound foundation that cannot be matched by ordinary forces.
We are about to decide to take action against Poshan City, so we must find out the details of Poshan City. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."
"If that's the case, then by making some noise on the eve of the war, firstly, it can divide the power in Poshan City, and secondly, it can also investigate some of the situation in Poshan City. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!"
With the improvement of realm.
When Shen Changqing was thinking about things, his mind became much clearer.
Some things can be roughly guessed by following the clues.
Xing Yi on the side heard this analysis and felt that it was very possible.
"Elder Shen's speculation is not unfounded. If the Yaoxie clan really wants to take action against our Poshan City, it won't be too long before the full attack begins.
If something is really wrong, it can easily attract support from other branches."
As the chief steward of the Tianchawei of Poshan City.
Xing Yi is not a stupid person.
After getting relevant information, he can also see something.
Otherwise, the other party will not be qualified to hold the current position.
Shen Changqing nodded: "Manager Xing is right, the temptation of the evil clan will not last long. If our guess is correct, they are really eyeing Poshan City.
Then in the next few days, they will really attack."
"Can I ask for help?"
Xing Yi asked.
The strength of Poshan City was greatly reduced, and Ji Tianlu was still injured.
If there is a large-scale attack by evil spirits at this time, it will be difficult to resist.
I'm asking for help now, although it's a bit too late.
But as long as the news is timely, it is impossible to say that support will arrive in time, but it may be possible.
Shen Changqing looked indifferent: "There is no need to ask for help. Although the evil clan is strong, our Demon Suppressor is not a vegetarian. If they really dare to attack, I will make sure they never come back!"
Evil attacks.
It was exactly in line with his preconceived ideas.
Isn't one of the purposes of coming back to Break Mountain City to harvest a wave of killing points when the evil spirits attack?
Now that the evil spirits are really coming, it is undoubtedly a good thing.
Moreover.
With his own strength, unless someone of Wang Mubai's level takes action, Shen Changqing is confident that he will not be afraid of anyone, including Yaoxie.
Faced with these confident words.
Xing Yi was a little unsure for a while.
"If the evil clan attacks, the Eternal Alliance will definitely bear the brunt. The leader of the Eternal Alliance may take action himself. His strength is not simple.
In the battle for the capital, although it was defeated miserably at the hands of Dongfang Guards, it was still very powerful.
Even in Ji Zhenshou's heyday, he might not be able to deal with the Eternal Alliance Leader."
Speaking of which.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Changqing became subtle.
The implication.
Can you really deal with a strong person that even Ji Tianlu can't deal with?
So doubtful.
Shen Changqing didn't explain much.
"Ji Tianlu once said that at the moment, everything in the Poshan Town Demon Division is dominated by me. In this case, I should be qualified to make any decisions, right?"
"That's natural."
Xing Yi lowered his head.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing stood up from his position and faced Xing Yi with his hands behind his back.
"Since I have the right to make all decisions, you don't have to question too much. I naturally have my own reasons for doing this. Tianchawei will only act according to orders."
"yes!"
Xing Yi still lowered his head and replied.
He just gave a verbose reminder. If Shen Changqing insists on having his own way, there is nothing he can do.
Shen Changqing turned around and his eyes fell on the other party.
"Then I'll trouble you, Manager Xing, to compile a dossier for me of all the cities currently plagued by evil spirits, and then let me know that all demon slayers of Xuan level and above in the Demon Suppression Division will go to the main hall in half a day to discuss matters."
"yes!"
Xing Yi nodded in response.
Just when the other party was about to say goodbye and leave, Shen Changqing suddenly spoke again.
"By the way, I want to ask, do you know anything about Duer?"
"Durr?"
Xing Yi was slightly startled, and then explained.
"He is the chief steward of Baiyue City's Tianchao Guard. He is on the same level as me. It's just that we haven't had much contact with him in the past, so we can't say we have much understanding."
"That's okay."
Shen Changqing waved his hand.
Xing Yi moved quickly.
In less than an hour, all the questions were compiled into a complete file and then placed in front of Shen Changqing.
The contents of the file, in addition to recording which cities had demons causing trouble, also detailed an assessment of the level of demons, as well as their quantity, etc.
About a quarter of an hour.
He has finally read all the contents of the dossier.
"There are demons and evil spirits in the seventeen cities, but according to the Tianchawei's assessment, the strongest demons and evil spirits are only at the Resentment level. Most of them are in the Nether level range, but the number is not large at all."
For a strong man of Shen Changqing's level, whether he is at the Resentment level or at the You level, he is almost like an ant.
but.
In the eyes of ordinary people and demon slayers.
Demons of this level are a deadly threat.
Innate warrior.
Facing a resentment-level monster, I dare not say that I have a 100% chance of winning.
After reading the contents of the dossier.
Shen Changqing fell into deep thought.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
He glanced at the sky, then stood up and left the yard, walking towards the main hall.
Along the way.
Whenever the demon slayer saw him, he would bow his head and greet him.
"Elder Shen!"
"Um."
Shen Changqing gave a slight hum as a response.
When he arrived at the main hall, he didn't even remember how many "ums" he had said.
Inside the main hall.
Crowds of people.
There seemed to be a lot of people, but the hall was surprisingly quiet.
When Shen Changqing walked in, everyone turned to look at each other and greeted each other in unison.
"I've met Elder Shen!"
No reply.
He went straight to Ji Tianlu's seat, then turned around and sat down.
that moment.
Looking from top to bottom, you can clearly see the respectful expressions of everyone below.
For a while.
A strange feeling arose in Shen Changqing's heart.
It was as if he held the lives of the people below him in his hands, and could decide a person's life or death with just a casual word.
"Right is indeed fascinating!"
After sighing secretly in his heart, Shen Changqing withdrew from that illusion.
If you really become the leader of a branch of the Demon Suppression Division, you will indeed have the right to decide the life and death of others.
but.
Now is not the time to think so much.
He looked at those people and spoke calmly.
"I believe you all know who I am, so I won't waste time on it. Before Ji Zhenshou went into seclusion, he said that I would be solely responsible for the Demon Suppression Division for the time being.
During this period, I also hope that you can cooperate, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed."
The voice fell.
Deng Gu was the first to speak: "Since Ji Zhenshou has spoken first, we must obey Elder Shen's order!"
"Elder Shen makes the decision."
"good!"
After Deng Gu opened his mouth, some demon slayers also echoed his words.
The remaining people looked a little complicated, but they didn't say anything against it.
See this.
Shen Changqing didn't pay too much attention, but went straight to the point.
"Not long ago, news came from the Tianchawei that the evil spirits were too active within the jurisdiction of our Demon Suppression Division, causing many casualties among the people. What do you think about this matter?"
quiet!
Deathly silence!
Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak without permission.
They had just received this news.
Deng Gu clasped his fists: "The Demon-Suppressing Division originally started a war with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and has already suffered a lot of losses. Now that the demons are acting strangely, it is very likely that the demon-evil clan wants to take this opportunity to attack our Demon-Suppressing Division.
I think there must be no carelessness in this matter.
Otherwise, what happened in Luyang City is likely to happen again."
The news that Luyang City was destroyed by evil spirits is no longer a secret in the Demon Suppression Division.
When he finished speaking.
There were other demon slayers who nodded: "Deng slayer is right. If the demons have any abnormal behavior now, they should be suppressed with all their strength. We cannot let them mistakenly think that our demon slayer is weak and can be bullied."
The reaction of the people below was almost as expected by Shen Changqing.
When I heard the news about the evil attack, the first thing I thought of was to suppress it with all our strength.
same.
Such a reaction is also in line with the predictions of the Yaoxie clan.
"Suppression is inevitable. At any time, our Demon Suppression Division has always been responsible for suppressing evil spirits. Now that there are demons and evils causing trouble, we, the members of the Demon Suppression Division, will certainly not stand idly by."
Speaking of which.
Shen Changqing looked at the faces of the people below: "From the intelligence point of view, the strongest evil spirits currently raging are only at the Resentment level, but it cannot be ruled out that these are just the vanguard of the evil spirits.
If another evil-level monster attacks, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, I have decided that all counties with less than 100,000 people will have two Xuan-level demon slayers to guard each place. Any traces of evil spirits will be eradicated with all their strength."
"in addition"
"The seventeen cities that are plagued by evil spirits each need an earth-level demon slayer to help stabilize the situation. In addition, the remaining earth-level demon slayers and heaven-level demon slayers in the Demon Suppression Department will use Baili as a support point. .
Whenever an irresistible situation occurs in the cities of various places, the strong men at each support point must go quickly without any mistakes."
Hear the words.
Many people's expressions changed.
Deng Gu looked hesitant: "Elder Shen, if you do this, the power in the Demon Suppression Division will be almost exhausted!"
Nanyou Mansion is very big.
Although the Poshan Town Demon Division is only one of the three major demon-suppressing divisions, the area it controls is not small at all.
Although its location is in the center of this region, it can be seen from both ends.
But if we follow what Shen Changqing said.
Even if all the strong men from the Demon Suppressing Division are sent out, it won't be enough.
"Yes, if the power in the Demon Suppression Division is exhausted, if the evil spirits come straight to Poshan City, there will be no power to resist it!"
Some people nodded slightly.
This is no child's play.
Broken Mountain City is the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division and the lifeblood of the vast region.
If Poshan City is destroyed, it will definitely cause chaos.
Shen Changqing smiled confidently: "As long as I am here, Broken Mountain City cannot be broken. You don't have to worry about these things so much. You only need to follow my orders."
Everyone's heart was shocked.
According to what the other party said, he planned to guard Poshan City alone.
Regarding Shen Changqing’s strength.
Of course they wouldn't suspect anything.
The other party is already well-known in Nanyou Mansion.
but.
No matter how famous he is, the other party cannot compare with Ji Tianlu.
A master who is at the top of his game, if he can hold on to death, is equivalent to a marquis guarding envoy.
Even Ji Tianlu.
None of them have the confidence to say that they can defend Poshan City by themselves.
In the eyes of these people, Shen Changqing's words were undoubtedly a bit exaggerated.
But considering the other party's face and fear of the other party's strength, they did not say anything to refute.
at this time.
Shen Changqing then spoke: "Dealing with evil spirits is the responsibility of our Suppressing Demon Division, and it is also the responsibility of all the people of Qin. When it comes to the point where nothing can be done, we can borrow help from the surrounding Jianghu forces."
Take advantage!
Someone frowned: "Those Jianghu forces are not willing to deal with us. If we borrow power rashly, they may not be willing."
"It's their business whether they want to do it or not, and it's our business whether they do it or not. When things really come to a head, we don't have to think about it so much."
Shen Changqing raised his hand and directly interrupted the other party's words.
Immediately afterwards.
He looked at Xing Yi who was silent again.
"If the Tianchawei sends all the information, how long will it take for the matters within the jurisdiction of the Demon Division in Poshan Town to be delivered to me?"
"If it is transported at full strength, it will not take more than one day at most."
Xing Yi said in a deep voice.
Although the terrain of Poshan City is vast, Tianchawei also has its own communication methods.
In a real emergency, the transmission speed will be much faster than normal.
Get a definite answer.
Shen Changqing was a little more serious about Tianchawei's methods.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Xing Yi to talk nonsense.
That means.
Tianchawei also has some communication methods that he doesn't know about.
Immediately.
He nodded: "Okay, in the near future, I want the Tianchawei to pay close attention to all movements. Don't miss any abnormal movement and send me the message as quickly as possible."
"no problem."
"Okay, let's leave things like this for the time being. Corresponding information will be handed down to you later. You must arrive at the designated place within three days without any delay!"
Shen Changqing made the final decision.
Hearing the words,
The others looked at each other and then left neatly.
Inside the courtyard.
Shen Changqing handed a jade box into Jiang Zuo's hands.
"Brother Shen, what is this?"
Looking at the jade box in front of him, Jiang Zuo looked confused.
With his perception, he could clearly feel that the jade box contained powerful power.
Shen Changqing said: "This mission is quite dangerous. This thing should be reserved for Brother Jiang for self-defense. If you really encounter unmatched danger, you can open the jade box. I believe that the danger can be averted.
If Brother Jiang still doesn't use it after that, then return the jade box.
Remember, never open it until there is danger, otherwise it will be wasted."
Listen to what Shen Changqing said solemnly.
Jiang Zuo also realized that the jade box in his hand was probably a consumable means.
As for what means, he didn't know.
See his doubts.
Shen Changqing added another sentence: "If you encounter a low-level demon, I think you can escape safely, but if you encounter a mid-level demon, then just ask for luck."
This sentence.
Jiang Zuo was shocked.
What does it mean?
Doesn't it mean that the things placed in the jade box can still be dealt with even if they involve evil spirits at the level of demons?
Suddenly.
When he looked at the jade box, he was already very shocked.
"Brother Shen, this isn't too expensive..."
"It's okay, I'll use it when necessary, but if you can't use it, then it's best not to use it!"
Shen Changqing waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words.
