Chapter 48 You can’t afford what I want (fifth update)
Inner hall of Yamen.
Under the guidance of Shi Qingsheng, the two walked in in no particular order.
"Cui Cheng (Zhao Yue) of the Guiyuan Sword Sect has met Lord Shen!"
As soon as they saw Shen Changqing, Cui Cheng and the two of them bowed their hands in greeting.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
"Thank you, sir!"
After thanking each other, the two of them took their seats at the bottom.
When they sat down, Shen Changqing also looked at the people who came down carefully.
Guiyuan Sword Sect.
He didn't hear much about it, but from Situ Bei's words, he knew that it was the Jianghu sect in Guangyuan Prefecture.
Although there is no strong master sitting in charge, the power is not weak.
Now when I see the two of them.
Shen Changqing didn't see much.
After all, although he is an innate warrior, it is difficult to notice too much without a real fight between the two sides.
But according to the information given by Tianchawei.
Cui Cheng and Zhao Yue in front of them are both warriors in the late stage of Tongmai.
at this time.
There are yamen servants serving tea.
Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze and picked up the tea cup: "I have never had any contact with the Guiyuan Sword Sect. The two of them suddenly came to my Yamen today. I wonder what the reason is?"
"Not long after I came to Ancheng, I heard about Master Shen's deeds of killing evil spirits. I couldn't help but admire him. I came here this time to see Master Shen's style."
Cui Cheng smiled slightly.
"When I met Mr. Shen today, I realized that the rumors were true."
"Um."
Shen Changqing nodded: "You have seen me now. If nothing happens, you can go back."
"this--"
The smile on Cui Cheng's face suddenly stiffened a bit.
He didn't expect that Shen Changqing would issue an eviction order.
The opponent didn't play according to the routine, which caught him off guard.
But after all, Cui Cheng has seen the world. Although Shen Changqing didn't play according to the routine, he didn't show much difference.
"Master Shen speaks quickly, so I won't beat around the bush."
"Your Excellency, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." Shen Changqing took a sip of tea, put the teacup back to its original position, and looked at Cui Cheng again.
See this.
Cui Cheng's expression did not change, he raised his hands and said, "I heard that Master Shen is from the Demon Suppression Division. I believe you must have heard the news that the demon blood is about to be born!"
"Heard something."
Shen Changqing nodded.
He knew that Cui Chenglai's purpose would not be simple.
Demon blood.
Just from the moment the other party opened his mouth, Shen Changqing was almost certain of what the other party's purpose was.
Cui Cheng said: "The demon blood essence is about to be born. We are waiting for people from all forces to come. To be honest, the purpose is also this. The demon essence blood has existed in Lin'an City for hundreds of years. The Zhenmo Division really wants the essence blood. There are many Opportunities are available.
But so far, there hasn't been much movement from the Demon Suppressing Division, probably because they don't care about the essence and blood.
Of course, the Demon Suppressor family has a great cause and it is normal for them to look down on the blood of demons, but small sects like me are extremely eager for blood."
There was a pause.
Cui Cheng's eyes became intense: "But I wonder what Mr. Shen thinks about demon blood?"
"Are you worried that I will try to rob you?"
Shen Changqing asked indifferently.
Cui Cheng nodded bluntly: "Yes!"
"If I fight for you, what will happen to you? If I don't fight for you, what will happen to you?" Shen Changqing was unhurried and unhurried. When he spoke, he could see the changes in the other party's expression.
Hear the words.
Cui Cheng handed over his hand: "If Lord Shen takes action, the Guiyuan Sword Sect is willing to pay part of the price in exchange for Lord Shen not to take action, but if Lord Shen insists on fighting for it, the Guiyuan Sword Faction will withdraw directly.
But currently, my Guiyuan Sword Sect and my family are not the only ones competing for blood essence. Even if my Guiyuan Sword Sect withdraws, several other forces may not be willing to withdraw.
Similarly, if Master Shen does not fight for it, it would be a great thing. If possible, I, the Guiyuan Sword Sect, would also be willing to provide some benefits in exchange for Master Shen's opportunity to help."
What Cui Cheng said was very sincere.
no way.
The person in front of me is not only a magistrate of a city, but he also comes from the Demon Suppression Division.
Although the Guiyuan Sword Sect is not small, it is no different from ants in front of the Demon Suppressor.
If you really want to offend the Demon Suppressor for this, it is definitely not a good thing.
Besides.
In Cui Cheng's eyes, the other party may not value the demon blood. After all, the Demon Suppression Division has killed so many demons, and the demon blood is not something difficult to obtain.
This is regarded as a treasure in the eyes of other forces, but in the eyes of the Demon Suppressor, it may be easily obtained.
Cui Cheng said it straightforwardly.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing also went straight to the point.
"The demon essence and blood are dispensable to me. As for asking me to help, to be honest, your Guiyuan Sword Sect may not be able to afford this price."
He has already touched the realm of Waigang.
The strongest person in a Guiyuan Sword Sect is only in the Waigang realm.
The strongest sect is only the Waigang sect. Unless the family's wealth is emptied, why should they satisfy a warrior who is close to the Waigang.
Moreover.
The Demon-Suppressing Division doesn't want anything.
To be honest, Shen Changqing looks down on the little Guiyuan Sword Sect.
The straightforward words made Cui Cheng look a little embarrassed. If someone else had belittled the Guiyuan Sword Sect like this, he might have been angry a long time ago.
But for someone from the Demon Suppression Division, he would have no way to refute this statement.
As for Zhao Yue on the other side.
At this time, I didn’t dare to interrupt easily.
In her mind, she still recalled yesterday's scene of rolling heads and Shen Changqing's eyes that were indifferent to life.
Don't belittle the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
Zhao Yue was now a little worried about what to do if the two of them broke down and Shen Changqing killed him.
Ignoring Cui Cheng's embarrassment, Shen Changqing continued.
"My mission is just to guard Lin'an City. As long as you don't disturb the order of Lin'an City, no matter how you fight for the demon blood, it has nothing to do with me.
Similarly, if there are evil spirits causing trouble in the city, you, as the people of Great Qin, should also come to help if you can."
"Master Shen is absolutely right."
Cui Cheng hurriedly agreed.
"Then it's best. If you have nothing to do, go back. You don't have to worry that I will snatch the blood of the demons from you. But when the demons are exterminated and I need your help, I don't want to see anyone shirk.
Whether you are from the Guiyuan Sword Sect or the Qiyao Sect’s Heavenly Sword Sect, you must remember that you are originally from Qin.”
After Shen Changqing finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and saw off the guests directly.
See this.
Cui Cheng couldn't say anything else, so he could only stand up and hand over his hands: "Master Shen, let's take our leave first!"
After saying that, the two people left the Yamen.
Looking at the two people leaving, Shen Changqing's lips curved into a smile.
The purpose of Guiyuanjian sending the two men here was to test whether he had the idea of competing for the demon blood. This shows that he already has a lot of weight in the eyes of these forces.
The reason for this.
One is that the person standing behind him is the Demon Suppressor, and the other is related to what happened in the yamen in front.
"In today's troubled times, evil spirits are causing trouble, but they still try to clean up the troubles, so how can they put an end to the troubles caused by evil spirits?"
Shen Changqing couldn't help but shake his head.
From the incident where the Yamen was attacked by the evil spirits of the Eternal Life Alliance, it can be seen that these Jianghu sects have an attitude towards evil spirits, they can avoid them at all times and will not approach them easily.
The evil spirits are so strange that you may die if you are not careful.
Jianghu sects are afraid of evil spirits and don't want to be enemies with them, so he won't say anything.
After all, fear of death is the right that everyone should have.
But if you still sit back and watch the evil and evil cause troubles even though you are doing your best, it is somewhat unjustifiable.
"The Jianghu sect can still stand today, naturally without the support of the common people. But if you receive support from the common people, but never do anything for the common people, what is the difference between it and a moth? I just hope you can be more sensible!"
Shen Changqing thought of some cases he had seen in the past.
In fact.
In addition to some necessary things, the library also contains many case records about evil spirits and Jianghu sects.
It was also written on it that there were people who supported a Jianghu sect, but when the evil came, that Jianghu sect closed the mountain and could not come out, allowing the people of several cities to be slaughtered.
afterwards.
Naturally, there were strong men from the Demon Suppressing Division who climbed the mountain and killed all the more than a thousand people from that sect.
As soon as this incident came out, the world was in awe.
But there is still no way to completely frighten those Jianghu sects. From time to time, some forces will sit back and watch the evil spirits cause trouble.
Some will be punished by the Demon Suppressor.
Some found suitable excuses to avoid the severe punishment of the Demon Suppression Division.
But no matter what.
After seeing too many cases, Shen Changqing really didn't have a good impression of Jianghu sects.
After Cui Cheng came to visit, in the next few days, other powerful sects also came to visit one after another.
Without exception.
They all wanted to test whether Shen Changqing or the Demon Suppressing Division had any intention of competing for the demon blood.
After confirming that Shen Changqing and Zhenmo Si didn't have that idea, they both left peacefully.
So far.
Lin'an City has returned to its former tranquility.
In a few days, apart from the necessary social activities, Shen Changqing practiced the Tianwu Gang Qi with peace of mind.
Tianwu Gangqi has broken through to the eleventh level, and has already touched the level of Waigang.
The more you practice.
The more he felt, the thin layer of Gang Qi inside his body was undergoing some wonderful changes, causing some slight itching all over his body.
only.
It is not easy to break through the Waigang realm with your own talent.
A few days of practice.
Apart from Shen Changqing's discovery that his control over Tianwu Gang Qi had become stronger, there were no other changes.
As for the breakthrough.
There is not even a single stroke in the eight characters.
The difficulty of moving from the eleventh to the twelfth floor is not ordinary.
"Innate is divided into Inner Gang and Outer Gang. Once the Outer Gang is cultivated, a warrior's defense and attack will increase significantly. It is not comparable to the Inner Gang realm. If I rely on myself, it may take a year and a half to break through the Outer Gang. load.
Unless there are evil spirits providing nourishment, I have a chance to speed up the pace of breakthrough."
