Chapter 63: Not Worth Investing In Anymore

eople to assist if they have the manpower available."After returning from the pawn shop, Shen Changqing returned to his original inn.according to his original intention.He should have just gone to inq...Zhang Yue, upon hearing this, clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to my lord, there were twenty-three fires last night. Nearly a hundred civilians died in the fires, and the number of deaths caused by demons is still being tallied."

As for the yamen servants, eight were lost yesterday.

By the time he finished speaking, a heavy silence had fallen over the inner hall.

Shi Qingsheng sighed: "In this case, counting the number of demons and monsters that died in the city this time, it is probably over several hundred. If this matter is not handled properly, it will surely cause a great panic."

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

"Master, in your opinion, how should the yamen proceed now"

Shen Changqing's gaze fell on Shi Qingsheng's body, rarely opening his mouth to ask.

At the end of the day, he was just a temporary county magistrate with no experience in government.

If it's dealing with demons, it's much simpler. Just kill them all.

It can appease the people.

It's not about killing to solve everything.

By contrast, the other party has been serving as a head clerk for many years and is considered to be the most experienced in this area.

He pondered for a moment.

Shi Qingsheng raised his head and cupped his fists: "Reporting to my lord, what the yamen needs to do now is the same as usual. Post notices stating that all demons have been completely eradicated, and at the same time, have other officials increase their patrol efforts."

Over time, the fear in the hearts of the people will gradually subside.

If anyone takes this opportunity to create chaos, they will also be severely punished. We must not let others think that our government is weak and can be bullied.

Last night, the fire and demons caused many casualties among the people, but some survived and can also be given certain relief.

On one hand, severely punish those who cause trouble, on the other hand, provide relief to those in need. This is a two-pronged approach.

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

After a slight moment of thought, Shen Changqing nodded. "Very well, I'll do as you say."

After a pause.

He added: "Anyway, over the past period of time, the yamen has had some extra income, so there shouldn't be a problem with pensions."

After making a decision.

Shi Qingxing immediately stood up and left, leaving Zhang Yue sitting there motionless.

"Sir, after last night's events, some of the clerks also want to leave. What should we do now"

It's not true that no one is afraid of death.

Last night there was no way out, so those constables dared not desert in the face of danger.

But things are different now.

After things calmed down, immediately some yamen servants wanted to resign and leave.

Shen Changqing said: “Whoever wants to leave, let them go, but they will no longer be employed in the future. At the same time, we will recruit a new batch of clerks externally. This is just a small matter.”

The Qin Dynasty lacked everything, except for people.

Even a small place like Lian'an City can have 100,000 inhabitants. Those large cities are even more unimaginable.

To be honest.

He didn't even know how many people the Qin Dynasty had.

One thing is for sure, the population of Qin Dynasty was much larger than it was in my previous life.

Received the command.

Zhang Yue also got up and said goodbye.

In the inner hall, only Shen Changqing remained.

"Outside the city, everything was quiet. The demonic essence had found its place. Now that all the demons had retreated, Lin'an City would be safe for a while."

This matter is not small, but the Tianchawei of Lin'an City was completely wiped out, and the news cannot be sent back to the Zhenmosi for the time being.

"However, with Tianchawei's eyes and ears, I believe it won't be long before someone comes to take over again!"

Sitting at the head of the table, his mind was preoccupied with what had happened over the past two days.

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

Although two days are short, many things can happen.

Only now do I have the time to put everything in order.

Next.

Shen Changqing sank his heart and began to check his panel.

Name: Shen ChangqingFaction: Great Qin Demon Suppression DivisionIdentity: Yellow Rank ExorcistMartial Arts: Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training, Heaven Martial Gang Qi, Seven Kills Sword Technique, Iron Sand PalmKill Count: 53

"Fifty-three points of carnage!"

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

Shen Changqing let out a sigh of relief.

Last night he slew many demons and monsters, one vengeful monstrosity, plus several ghostly specters.

Among.

Just that head of the vengeful ghoul contributed over twenty points of killing value, and the remaining few heads of the shadowy ghouls, because their strength was generally not strong, each contributed seven or eight points of killing value.

Even though a mosquito leg is small, it's still meat.

All in all, the kill value adds up to over fifty points.

It's just——

Don't look at the 53 points of killing value as much, now every level upgrade, the killing value consumed is quite a lot.

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

"Thirteen Tai Pao in the layers beyond twenty diligently practiced, each level up consumed a minimum of ten killing points, not counting the possible increase."

As for Tianwu Gang Qi, the current level one requires 8 points of killing value. However, based on past upgrade trends, it is estimated that maintaining an 8-point consumption will not last long.

...and if this martial art were to progress further, the amount of killing points it would require would be absolutely terrifying, far surpassing even the brutal training of the Thirteen Protectors."

Upon closer inspection, Shen Changqing realized that over fifty killing points weren't particularly high.

Now he.

I kind of miss the old days, when you could level up just by killing stuff.

Over fifty points, if it doesn't increase, I personally estimate it can grow to a rather frightening state.

Shaking his head.

Shen Changqing drove the distractions from his mind.

"If used reasonably, over fifty points can enhance strength to a limited extent. Whether it can break through the master level remains unknown."

The Heavenly Martial Qi's thirteen layers made him stronger than an ordinary congenital outer qi.

... up to this day.

Shen Changqing hadn't even touched the threshold of a Grandmaster.

He wasn't quite sure what a master was, but one thing he could be certain of was that if his Tianwu Astral Qi could be directly raised several levels, then he would have a high probability of directly ascending to the realm of a master.

Only boosting the Heavenly Martial Qi requires a massive amount of blood and energy as support.

Please provide me with the text you'd like translated. I can help you translate it into English while keeping the HTML tags intact.

The Thirteen Bodyguards' intensive training consumed a lot of energy. Although each level brought significant physical enhancements, it was still dwarfed by the consumption of Heavenly Martial Qi.

“It's not easy to obtain kill values. The Thirteen Guardians have been training hard, and I don't think it's worth investing any more time in them.”

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

The most suitable course of action right now is to return to the Demon Suppression Division and find a more powerful external skill to cultivate.

Once Shen Changqing made his decision, his spirit withdrew from the panel.

There is no qi and blood to support.

There is currently no way to increase Heaven Martial Qi.

Everything, everything has to wait until we get back to the Demon Suppression Department.

"Let's see, the new county magistrate should be here about now!"

>

Shen Changqing estimated that it had been almost half a month since Zhao Fang's death.

Even if the middle process takes time.

More than half a month has passed, and it's almost over.

>

Unless something unexpected happens, the new magistrate should be here by now.

Got up.

Shen Changqing went back to the bedroom to rest.

I haven't closed my eyes for nearly two days, and last night I was highly focused, killing demons all over the city. The exhaustion is immense.

>

Now that things are almost settled, a sudden wave of weariness washes over me.

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

He lay down in his clothes.

This should be the end of a paragraph.

Shen Changqing slept until noon the next day.

Not until Shi Qingsheng came to knock on the door did he wake up from his sleep.

Push open the door.

The other party has already stood there.

"Master!"

"What happened" Shen Changqing yawned, having slept for a whole day, his spirits were much revitalized.

"I was worried something might have happened to you since you've been sleeping since last night, so I came to check on you."

Shi Qingsheng replied truthfully.

Lunch is ready, please come and eat.

"You're getting it."

After lunch, Shen Changqing left the yamen and walked straight out of the city.

Unlike the Lin'an of old.

Today's Lin'an City has a much heavier atmosphere.

The usual bustling scene with people coming and going is now much less common.

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

From here we can see that yesterday's events had a significant impact on the common people of the city.

As for this.

Shen Changqing had no other way.

To eliminate the fear in a person's heart, only time can be used to grind it away.

>

Leaving Lin'an City.

He didn't take too long, and soon arrived at the place where the original burial ground used to be.

Trees fell, and the forest vanished.

The entire cemetery seemed to have been plowed over by some terrible force, leaving no trace of its former appearance.

"That night's fight caused quite a stir!"

Shen Changqing's expression was solemn.

The burial ground was quite large, covering a vast area. To level the entire burial ground would require immense power, something that no ordinary cultivator at the Xiantian stage could accomplish.

Even he.

Moving a graveyard flat is not an easy task.

Just from the scene before my eyes, one can tell how fierce that battle was.

Stepping onto the land of the mass grave, that thick, oppressive aura of evil still lingers.

The coffins that were originally buried in the mass grave were mostly exposed to the air, and the bones inside were completely destroyed by the power, fully illustrating what it means to be reduced to dust.

We have arrived at the place where the demon essence was born.

The gorge still existed there, but the ground was littered with numerous bloodstains.

Perception diffusion.

Shen Changqing found that although there was still a trace of evil aura, there were no remaining demons.

After a while, he left the burial ground.

The purpose of coming here.

I just wanted to take a look and see if there were any potential problems left behind.

But now the mass grave has been leveled. Although some sinister qi remains, the true demons have either been slain or fled entirely. None of them stayed behind.

The emergence of the demon blood, which caused that ravine.

Shen Changqing just took two glances and gave up.

The canyon is fathomless.

He wasn't sure if there was anything inside, and venturing in would be incredibly risky.

>

Go back to the yamen.

Shen Changqing was a recluse.

After several days, the disturbance caused by demons and monsters had subsided considerably.

Besides the intensive patrols by the authorities and the posting of announcements to reassure the public, the people's fear in their hearts also subsided somewhat.

Although it has not fully recovered to its former glory, it is much better than when it first started.

Regarding changes in the city.

Shen Changqing was also happy about this.

It wasn't until five days later that someone came to the door, breaking the quiet somewhat.e Yunlong Divine Clan truly has someone who can surpass my prodigy, I will return without a word."Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!"Good!" The Cloud Emperor nodded. "Since the...
