Chapter Twenty-Four You Deserve to Die

xpected."Seeing his appearance, Xiao An immediately became impatient: "Just say what you have to say, why all the roundabout talk!""It's easy!"Xun Qu remained calm. He turned to look at the fighting S...Demons, in a sense, are not truly human. Therefore, their blood is a terrifying poison to ordinary people.

> As soon as you touch it, there's a risk of death.

So.

After killing a demonic being, one must thoroughly destroy its corpse, making absolutely sure there is no trace left behind.

>By the time Zhuang Mingyuan's body was cremated to ashes.

Only then did Shen Changqing turn his gaze to the long sword in his hand.

The once spotless and gleaming blade was now pitted and rusty, as if it had been buried in the ground for years.

“This knife won’t last long!”

Shen Changqing's face was filled with helplessness.

When slaying the monsters in Gu Yue Village, he purposely wrapped his sword with true energy to ensure it wasn't corroded by blood.

It is possible to attack Zhuang Mingyuan.

Yet, he forgot about that.

It is obvious.

Facing such demonic blood, ordinary mortal soldiers stand no chance of resistance.

Unfortunately.

Even with Shen Changqing's current status, it wouldn't be possible to obtain top-tier divine weapons.

Shake your head.

He turned and returned to Lin'an City.

Inside the government office, there was a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, not a trace of the recent fight.

The severed head of Zhang Long on the ground was gone.

When Shen Changqing strode into the inner hall, he just saw Zhao Fang sitting there quietly.

"You're not running"

>

“Is it useful” Zhao Fang retorted.

"You know it's useless, why would you conspire with demons and harm the people of Gumu Village You should know they are under the jurisdiction of Lin'an City, which is also your Zhao Fang's territory. As their magistrate, your heart is exceptionally cruel."

>

Shen Changqing's eyes were indifferent, he didn't immediately move to kill Zhao Fang.

Because there is no need for it.

Zhao Fang was unlike Zhuang Mingyuan; he had no martial arts skills whatsoever, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

There are some things.

Shen Changqing wanted to find out through Zhao Fang.

Facing the question.

Zhao Fang's expression remained calm: "Demons are incredibly powerful, so powerful that ordinary people have no right to resist. Faced with demons harming the people, I too once wanted to exterminate them and protect peace for my corner of the world."

But the demons were too powerful, even with all my effort, I couldn't withstand them at all.

That kind of feeling, you probably wouldn't understand.

In the end, his expression looked somewhat forlorn.

From Zhao Fang's words.

Shen Changqing seemed to see a conscientious official who, for the sake of the lives of the people in Lin'an City, had to fawn over demons and monsters.

>Just after the other party finished speaking.

He simply sneered: "Why deceive yourself If you truly cared for the people, how could you sacrifice the lives of thousands in Gu Yue Village If you truly cared for the people, how could you intentionally conceal the news and prevent the Demon Suppression Division from noticing"

To put it bluntly, you're just afraid of death.

"You know nothing!"

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

Shen Changqing's words seemed to pierce Zhao Fang, causing his expression to become agitated. He stood up from his seat.

“Do you know how many people there are in Lin'an City, ten million, ten million people. If I don't deal with the demons, not a single one of the ten million people in Lin'an City will survive. Sacrificing Gumu Village was also a last resort.”

Yes, the Demon Suppression Division is powerful and fearless of demons.

But even though the Demon Suppression Division is powerful, how much stronger can it be than demons

Over the years, countless commoners have been ravaged by demons and evil spirits, and numerous cities have been destroyed. But where was the Demon Suppression Division back then

"Well said!"

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

Shen Changqing clapped in approval, a faint smile appearing on his face immediately: “So you sacrificed one ancient Yue village and that wasn’t enough. You intend to sacrifice even more people, even the entire Lin'an city.”

But I am curious.

Since you, Zhao Da Ren, are only dealing with demons for the sake of Lin'an City's people, then when you decide to sacrifice Lin'an City for your own future, what meaning does your dealing with them hold

Zhao Fang's face stiffened immediately.

At this point, Shen Changqing's face was already icy cold: "To put it bluntly, you Zhao Fang are nothing but a traitor to the human race, a selfish and petty man. The people of Lin'an City are just an excuse for you to deceive your own conscience."

The people of Gǔyuè Village, I imagine, still haven't found peace in death.

You, Zhao Fang, are a disgrace to the 100,000 people of Lin'an City. You have betrayed their trust and the twenty years of support they have given you!

"You, should, die!"

Shěn Chángqīng said each word slowly.

With each sentence, Zhao Fang's face paled further. Finally, he was too weak to stand and collapsed onto the ground.

Become a congenital martial artist.

Shen Changqing's perception had reached a terrifying level.

Even before reaching the front of the yamen.

Then he heard Zhao Fang and Zhuang Mingyuan talking in the inner hall.

There has just been no movement.

The purpose is to hear some more useful information from both of them.

After making sure there was no more information to be gleaned, Shen Changqing directly acted and stormed into the government office.

Therefore.

He had been listening to their conversation all along.

Including Zhuang Mingyuan's seduction, and Zhao Fang's fall.

That's all.

No matter how flowery Zhao Fang's words were now, Shen Changqing remained unmoved. In his eyes, the man before him, although not as openly demonic as Zhuang Mingyuan, still harbored ulterior motives.

But the evil and ruthlessness in his heart were no different from that of a demon.

To be honest.

Even if Zhao Fang were afraid of demons and abandoned his hundred thousand subjects, he wouldn't say a word.

After all, fearing death and cherishing life is everyone's right.

After all, the other party is a government official who eats the imperial salary. If they are caught and brought to justice, they will inevitably be punished.

Even if doing so were wrong.

But he was certainly not collaborating with demons and evildoers, intending to sacrifice the lives of 100,000 people in Lin'an City for his own advancement. That would be a far greater sin.

To be frank.

Such a sin is no longer a simple matter of death.

The demons are powerful, something Shen Changqing cannot deny.

Faced with an irresistible presence, some people are fearless and stand their ground. But others are terrified and quietly leave. Yet others flatter and fawn, joining forces with demons and turning their swords against their own kind.

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

It is obvious.

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

Zhao Fang is the last type of person.

Such a person is the most disgraceful.

Time slips away.

Zhao Fang sat there, his face as white as a sheet, terrified. Shen Changqing's words had shattered the last vestiges of his resistance.

"Sir Shen, I know my crimes are grave, so I didn't flee when you were pursuing Zhuang Mingyuan. I am willing to die to atone for them, as a way of apologizing to the villagers of Gu Yue Village. However, there is one thing I hope Sir Shen will agree to—"

“That is all the sin, borne by me alone. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I hope Lord Shen will spare their lives!”

As they spoke, Zhao Fang looked at Shen Changqing, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his lifeless eyes.

Shen Changqing's face was indifferent, he remained unmoved.

“Guilty or not, it's not for you and me to decide. I will truthfully report this matter to the Demon Suppression Division. As for how they handle it, that is their concern!”
