it.>With a gentle sway of the carriage curtains, a folded white piece of paper drifted straight towards Lin Yuefei.First, I heard incomprehensible words, then saw a white paper coming towards me.Lin...A few guards, by the light of their torches, could clearly see something rolling on the ground. It was a human head.

Although his head was covered in blood, and as he rolled around on the ground, he picked up a lot of dust.

Though beheaded, they could still recognize it as Zhang Long's head.

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

Zhang Long is dead!

The one who killed him was Shen Changqing, standing right in front of him!

For a moment.

The atmosphere became heavy.

Though several yamen guards wore expressions of anger and shock, none dared to act rashly. They were well aware that the individuals from the Demon Suppression Division possessed abilities far beyond their own.

Besides,

Zhang Long's strength in Lin'an City could be said to be among the best.

Inside the government offices, even all the clerks combined couldn't compare to him.

As strong as Zhang Long.

All of them died at the hands of Shen Changqing.

Then they went up, it was also a dead end.

It was only because they were wearing official robes and eating the government's grain that these constables weren't easily intimidated.

Proceed at a leisurely pace.

Chen Changqing looked at the retreating yamen servants, his voice emotionless: "Zhao Fang and Zhang Long colluded with demons and killed thousands of lives in Gumu Village. Now that Zhang Long has been executed, Zhao Fang is still at large."

This time, I am only here for Zhao Fang's life. Others should retreat quickly and have nothing to do with this, or don't blame me for being merciless!

Upon hearing this.

Several clerks' faces changed again.

Zhao Fang Zhang Long colluded with demons, slaughtering over a thousand people from the ancient Yue village!

As soon as Shen Changqing spoke, they instinctively didn't believe him.

Just—

Upon seeing Shen Changqing, everyone realized he was wearing the attire of the Demon Suppression Division, and the other party was also a Demon Slayer from the same division.

The conviction in my heart began to waver again.

Now.

Under the lead of an official, Zhao Fang and Zhuang Mingyuan had also arrived.

"What happened!"

Zhao's expression turned solemn. After scanning the surroundings, when he saw Shen Changqing standing there, his pupils constricted involuntarily. Then, seeing the severed head of Zhang Long on the ground, his face twitched.

Once the words were spoken.

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

The scene was deathly silent.

Several guards didn't respond, but instead looked at Zhao Fang with complicated eyes.

Some people.

Even a minuscule retreat was observed.

Upon seeing this.

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

Zhao Fang's heart sank again, but he remained calm on the surface and bowed to Shen Changqing.

"Lord Shen, I wonder what happened. Why did Zhang the head catcher die here"

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing's lips curled into a subtle smile: "Zhang Long colluded with demons, massacred thousands of lives in the ancient Yue village, and has already been slain by me. Now I am here to punish another traitor who betrayed humanity."

>

That's it.

The smile on his face vanished, replaced by a frost-like chill. A roar of anger shook the night sky.

"Zhao Fang, colluding with demons and betraying humanity, do you plead guilty!"

The sound was deafening.

It not only echoed within the yamen, but could even be heard outside.

Suddenly.

Zhao Fang's face darkened: "Master Shen, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. This official has served as the county magistrate of Lin'an City for twenty years, diligently serving the people and never daring to make even the slightest mistake."

Now you say that I colluded with demons and harmed the people of Gumu Village, do you have any concrete evidence

You know, even as someone from the Demon Suppression Division, falsely accusing a high-ranking official is still a serious offense!

"Evidence"

Shen Changqing stepped forward, his waist-length sword quietly unsheathed. The gleaming white blade shone menacingly in the night.

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

"My words are evidence!"

That said.

Sword out!

Pure yang qi burst forth, and in the instant the long sword slashed through the air, there was a sound of thunder that almost deafened people.

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

Facing this blade.

Zhao Fang was terrified beyond words.

Although he colluded with demons, at his core he was still an ordinary person, possessing no martial arts skills whatsoever, and had no possibility of resisting.

Just then.

Standing beside Zhao Fang, Zhuang Mingyuan's body suddenly moved.

Bang—

A shrill scream, accompanied by inky blood splattering and corroding a large pit into the ground.

Zhuang Mingyuan stepped back in a hurry.

At this moment, he had completely transformed. His body was covered in scales, and countless black lines snaked across his skin. A chillingly evil aura emanated from within him.

Take a closer look.

You can see that the other party stands still, their right arm hangs down, with scales blackened and broken, dark blood flowing from the wound.

A sudden and unexpected change.

It completely scared the others.

By the time they reacted, they just caught sight of Zhuang Mingyuan's strange state.

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

"Demon, demon!"

Some discerning clerks, upon seeing the arm covered in greenish scales, instantly turned pale.

Zhuang Mingyuan's exposure.

This made them completely believe Shen Changqing's words.

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

Because Zhuang Mingyuan came out with Zhao Fang, since the latter is a demon, Zhao Fang is almost certainly connected to demons.

As the bailiff stepped back.

Zhao Fang's face was as dark as water.

Please note that the original text was empty. I've just kept the html tags as you requested.

He understood that Zhuang Mingyuan's exposure had completely blocked his way out.

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

It's just up to now.

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

Zhao Fang didn't quite understand why Shen Changqing hadn't died, but Zhang Long had.

"Why didn't you die!"

When he spoke, his words were gritted through.

Shen Changqing's hand holding the knife trembled slightly, and the dark blood on the blade scattered on the ground. The originally pure blade was now pitted and scarred.

"It seems I was right, you are indeed conspiring with demons. As for why Zhang Long died, it can only be said that his strength was too weak. Similarly, you will all die next because your strength is also too weak!"

As soon as the words left her mouth.

The long sword had once again been slashed out.

But this time, his target was no longer Zhao Fang, but Zhuang Mingyuan beside him.

It can be seen.

Zhao Fang had no cultivation, unlike Zhuang Mingyuan who was a considerable threat. However, after breaking through to the Xiantian realm, Shen Changqing no longer considered the other party a concern.

The long sword slashed out with the momentum of breaking through the air, fast as a bolt from the blue.

Zhuang Mingyuan's face contorted into a strange smile, and his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood. When the long knife descended, it only struck empty air.

At the same time.

A gust of cold, biting wind came upon him from behind.

Shen Changqing didn't even look, and with a backhand, he drew his sword from under his arm.

Poof!

The sound of a long blade entering flesh rang out, followed immediately by a powerful force that slammed into his back.

The back of his shirt was ripped to shreds.

Just as the skin cracked open, a wave of scorching heat rose up, instead pushing back the arrival.

Draw your sword.

Step back a bit.

Shen Changqing turned back, looking at Zhuang Mingyuan with a indifferent expression who was covering his shoulder.

Now Zhuang Mingyuan's face was full of disbelief.

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

"Bodyguarding Qi, you're a congenital martial artist, no, it's impossible, how could an apprentice exorcist be a congenital martial artist!"

Even if he didn't want to believe it, what just happened was clearly telling him, that was his protective qi.

The person before me.

He was not a novice demon slayer at all, but a powerful demon slayer born with innate cultivation.

Thinking about this.

This is a test.

Zhuang Mingyuan dared not linger for a moment, and fled directly outside the yamen. of our Divine Kings perished. Heaven Sect's actions are too domineering. This Emperor will absolutely not let this slide!"The Emperor's voice was low and cold. When he spoke, his body, which was obes...
