Chapter 108: Qutai County

of it through hearsay. However, such a god-level divine ability could not be considered trivial.Judging by the fact that they alone possess this unique talent and, with their mid-stage Divine Realm s...Nanyou Mansion is a small county town with few residents, only tens of thousands.

However.

Although the county town is small, its defensive forces are not insignificant.

When Shen Changqing arrived at Qutai County, he saw soldiers stationed on the low city walls.

...and the city gate.

Soldiers were still checking the permits of those entering the city.

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

You've reached the end here.

He couldn't help but think of the former Lin'an City.

Lin'an City is said to be a walled city.

But actually, it's not much bigger than Qutai County.

And.

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

The city had almost no military defense.

To be honest.

It was probably the weakest of all the cities in terms of power.

Shaking head.

Shen Changqing walked toward the city center.

As he approached the city gate, a soldier intercepted him, eyeing Tian Kui several times.

"What have you got there, it looks kind of strange!"

Upon hearing this.

Tian Kui couldn't help but bare its teeth and claws, letting out a mournful threatening growl.

It's just that kind of posture, coupled with its current appearance, it doesn't pose much of a threat. Instead, it looks rather cute and endearing.

Shen Changqing patted Tian Kui's head, motioning for it to quiet down.

As he presented his credentials, he smiled and said, “It’s just a puppy from my house. I don't know what's wrong with it, so I'm taking it around to see doctors.”

"I see!"

The soldier suddenly nodded.

He looked at the two fleshy packages on Tian Kui's back, also looking very serious.

It looks quite cute.

It's those two meat buns that ruin the overall look.

After taking a look at the route instructions.

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

The soldier let them pass.

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

Shen Changqing readily took it back, said a thank you, and then officially entered the county town.

Entered Qutang County.

What caught the eye first was the shouts of hawkers and peddlers.

>

Before coming to the county town.

He had a certain understanding of Qutai County.

This is the only county town within a radius of one hundred li.

>

Villages located to the east and west of Qutai County, later on, most of their buying and selling activities were conducted within Qutai County itself.

That's all.

Nature has created the scene before us.

It's just——

From the looks on their faces, Shen Changqing could see that some people wore a look of worry, while others were filled with fear. There were also those whose faces held a faint smile.

The myriad forms of living beings.

...and so on.

He couldn't be sure if all the sorrow and fear stemmed from demons.

Immediately.

Shen Changqing stopped a thin young man: "Excuse me, how do I get to the government office"

"Um, the government office"

The content within the tags is empty. Therefore, there is nothing to translate. If you have any other text you'd like me to translate, please provide it and I'll be happy to help!

The young man was suddenly intercepted, a look of displeasure instantly appearing on his face.

When he finally saw Shen Changqing, the feeling of dissatisfaction vanished without a trace.

That kind of feeling.

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

It's as if you weren't facing an ordinary person, but a heartless executioner who had taken countless lives.

But very soon.

That feeling vanished again.

Therefore.

The young man thought it was just his imagination, and he pointed behind him: "Just keep walking straight from here, turn left at the third intersection, then walk two more intersections and turn right. You'll see the yamen."

Thank you!

Shen Changqing secretly took note, and arched his hand in thanks.

"No, no!"

The young man waved his hand and walked past.

Shen Changqing turned his head to watch the other person's departing figure, then immediately walked in the direction of the yamen as instructed.

Walk three intersections forward.

Go two intersections to the left.

Then turn right.

After a little while.

His footsteps stopped before the two stone lions.

Here it is!

Seeing the two guards standing there, Shen Changqing walked up to them and directly showed them his identity token.

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

“I am from the Demon Suppression Division. Is the county magistrate of Qutai County here”

People from the Demon Suppression Office!

Two idle constables who were dozing there, instantly awoke from their slumber upon hearing this.

He first glanced at Shen Changqing's appearance, as well as the Tian Kui on his shoulder.

Then.

He just looked at the identity token in his hand.

The three large characters of the Demon Suppression Division came into view.

Upon seeing this.

Two guards shivered again.

Demon Suppression Division!

>

They had no doubts about the authenticity of the token. There were very few who dared to impersonate members of the Demon Suppression Division within the territory of the Great Qin.

Therefore.

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

One clerk hurriedly said, "The magistrate is in the yamen handling business. I will immediately report to him."

After he finished speaking, he hurried away.

Just as he was leaving, he gave another yamen servant a look.

That clerk understood immediately, and with a smile, he said: "My lord has traveled far, you must be tired. Please come in and sit for a while. The county magistrate will be here soon."

"Um!"

Chen Changqing nodded and followed the yamen servant into the building.

The county government office in Qutai County wasn't very big.

At least it was a notch below the several mansions he had seen before.

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

Considering that this is only a small county town, the scale of the government office couldn't be very large.

Leading Shen Changqing, they entered the inner hall.

The clerk immediately bowed respectfully and said, “Please wait here a moment, sir. I will go make you some tea!”

Before Shen Changqing could reply, he respectfully retreated.

Whether Shen Changqing is a genuine member of the Demon Suppression Division or not, he has nothing to do with me.

As long as the etiquette is observed, there's no problem.

One is fake.

Of course, someone else will punish them.

>

But if it were true, and I was the one who was out of line, then perhaps I would be held responsible for losing my head.

With that in mind.

The yamen servants remained respectful throughout, showing no disrespect whatsoever.

Just as Shen Changqing was sizing up the layout of the inner hall, his ears twitched slightly. He turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the inner hall.

Not long.

Just then, a portly middle-aged man with a well-fed and rather greasy appearance walked in from outside.

As soon as he saw Shen Changqing.

The official smiled and bowed: "I heard that a distinguished member of the Demon Suppression Division has arrived. I am Changcai, the county magistrate of Qutai County. My welcome is inadequate, please don't take offense!"

"You're too kind, sir."

Shen Changqing sat motionless in the chair, only nodding slightly.

Upon seeing this.

There was a flash of displeasure in Chang Cai's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

That's awesome!

This was the first feeling that rose in his heart.

>

>Next.

Then more discontent began to surface.

But.

Although Chang Cai had a bad first impression of Shen Changqing, he didn't show it.

He sat down at the top, his smile subdued somewhat, and spoke calmly: "Since you claim to be an important person, this official is required to perform his duty. I hope you can present some proof!"

In his eyes.

This is a test.

Shen Chang is a young man.

Although he is from the Demon Suppression Office, I don't think his responsibilities are very high.

As the magistrate of Qutai County, I don't need to fawn over an ordinary demon-slaying officer.

It is worth mentioning.

After swallowing the elixir of life.

Shen Changqing's appearance was a few years younger than before.

Several years.

Not only did it leave no trace on him, but he was also not much different from when he first entered the Demon Suppression Division.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing didn't waste words. He directly took out his identity token from his bosom, exerted a slight force on his wrist, and flung the token over.

The token broke the void.

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

Changcai was startled.

This is a test.

There's an instinctive urge to avoid it, but there's no way to.

Just when he thought he was going to die under the token, the token, which had reached the face gate, stopped moving and fell limply.

Control of power.

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

...to a shockingly precise degree.

His chest heaved violently.

Although he was a civil official, he wasn't without skill. Among martial artists, he would be considered a master of the Tongmai realm.

But—

In the hand Shen Changqing had just revealed, he felt a threat of death.

That is to say.

If someone wants to kill themselves, there's no need to put in any effort.

For a moment.

Chang Cai's resentment towards Shen Changqing had mostly dissipated.

The other person acted as if they were above everyone else.

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

It takes capital to be above the world.

Bow your head.

Looking at the token that had fallen into his hand, his eyes instantly locked onto the inscription on it.

Heaven's Staircase Demon Slayer!

Shen Changqing!

To be honest, Changcai has never heard of Shen Changqing.

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

Qutai County is just a small place, and many news stories are unable to circulate here.

But.

Heaven Stair Demon Slayer.

He was very clear about it, though.

It can be said.

The Heavenly Rank Demon Slayer is the pinnacle among all Demon Slayers. Above them, in legend, are the Guardian Gods who are said to be qualified to guard a realm.

Changcai never expected this.

Shen Changqing, unexpectedly, was a Heavenly Rank Demon Slayer.

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

Immediately.

He again examined the other side of the token.

When his gaze landed on the words "Wu Ge Elder," a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The Elder of the Martial Pavilion

Changcai recalled his knowledge of the Demon Suppression Division. He didn't seem to have ever heard of the Wuge name before.

>

However.

He didn't know what position the Elder of Wuge was, though he had never heard of it.

But the ID card in front of us is unlikely to be fake.

Upon realizing the identity of the other party as a celestial demon slayer, the attitude of this county magistrate from Qutai County immediately underwent a drastic 180-degree transformation.

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

Please stand up from your seat.

Changcai walked up to Shen Changqing's side and respectfully returned his identity token. His oily face was plastered with a flattering smile.

"So it's Lord Shen, this official was blind in front and couldn't recognize Lord Shen's identity. I hope Lord Shen will not take offense."

It's no big deal.

Shen Changqing casually retracted his identity token and looked at Changcai, who was kneeling before him.

“As an official, I am here to solve the matter of demons and evil spirits. Please tell me everything you know. I will see if it aligns with the records in my files, and if there are any discrepancies.”

After lightly hitting the other person, he got straight to the point.

I came all the way from Po Shan City to solve the matter of demons.

As for the rest.

All of them are not closely related to Shen Changqing.

Demonic affairs!

When Chang Cai heard the two words "demon and evil," his expression immediately became serious.

He did not return to his original seat, but sat down in the place beside Shen Changqing.

“When it comes to matters of demons and evil spirits, Lord Shen is the right person to ask…”, or simply returned to slumber, or perhaps hiding within the chaos of the Forbidden Zone, healing itself.A terrifying existence capable of defying the celestial rules, enough to make all races of cul...
