Shen Changqing sat there alone, without resting in bed.
At his level, unless there was a huge drain on him, sleeping for a day or two wouldn't be a big deal.
Before this, I had a conversation with Zhongchi to get some understanding of the situation in Jin City.
That's the most important.
That is the issue of the Everlasting Alliance.

"It seems like there's a chance, I really should go to Wanhualou and take another look."
Shen Changqing pondered.
As for brothels, he wasn't very interested.

At first, Shen Changqing wouldn't have stepped into that place if he hadn't noticed the sinister aura emanating from Qing'er.
However.
Having entered the Wanhualou, he only detected a sinister aura on the other person but found no such aura on anyone else.
That's it.
Now Shen Changqing didn't seem too strange.
The sinister aura is subtle. Aside from the fact that they possess something inherently malevolent, it's certain they have other hidden methods at their disposal.
After all.
He is very confident in his self-perception.
Even the faintest aura emanating from an evil entity, if not too far away, could be detected.
Just like during the day, things that can only be sensed when close are definitely using some kind of hidden technique.
That's all.
Sheng Changqing did not tell Zhong Chi about this.
As for the reasons and whether there are other hidden methods, those aren't major issues.
The Heavenly Watch had long suspected something was amiss with the Wan Hua Building. They were careful during their investigation, but the only remaining question was how to uncover the demon behind it.
Immediately.

Then Shen Changqing thought again of Xu Yi and the others he had seen during the day.
They probably won't make a move so quickly. They are currently in the stage of gathering information. If they really do decide to act, it will likely take some time. Hopefully, they won't be too hasty.

Blew out the oil lamp.
Shen Changqing came to the bedside, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged, and silently began to cultivate Heavenly Martial Qi.
This is a test.
"Miss, it's getting late. Perhaps we should return and rest"
In a grand courtyard, a beautiful maid who appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old gazed at the pitch-black surroundings. A hint of fear crept onto her face.
Before her stood a rather charming young woman, a little older than she.

Only seeing the woman holding a frost-covered long sword, dressed in white martial arts attire, her whole body emanated an air of being unlike ordinary women.
“If you’re scared, just go back by yourself!”
Zhou Qin's voice was slightly cold, her beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent, always on guard against the surrounding environment.
“When did my Zhou family fall to such a state, being driven out of our ancestral home by a demon Now I'm begging for help everywhere, utterly humiliated. Today, this girl is going to see what kind of demon dares to oppose my Zhou family.”
She was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. Because she possessed good martial arts talent, she left home at a young age to join a martial arts sect in the world.
As usual.
It's only during festivals and holidays that I go home.
This time, the Zhou family encountered demonic creatures, and many people died. In addition to widely inviting martial artists from the Jianghu, the old master of the Zhou family also sent a message to this young lady of the Zhou family.
Zhou Qin received the news.
...that he galloped back to Jin City at top speed.
As soon as she returned to Jincheng, she, leading a group of people, directly broke into the abandoned Zhou family ancestral home.
After being scolded, the maidservant dared not utter a word.
Zhou Qin said in a low voice, “Pay attention to the surroundings. If anything is wrong, tell me immediately.”
“Yes—”
The maid replied in a low voice.
Upon seeing this.
Zhou Qin no longer spoke. The long sword in her hand never returned to its scabbard, but remained slanted towards the ground as she walked forward at a leisurely pace.
The Zhou family was a well-known prominent clan in Jin City, and their ancestral home was also quite spacious.
The backyard in front of me has a landscape with hills and flowing water, pavilions, platforms, and towers standing tall. Under the moonlight, there are quite a few shadows standing upside down.
According to others, each body was found in the backyard.
That is to say—
“Demons are very likely to exist in the backyard.”

Zhou Qin recalled the contents in her mind, true energy rising from her dantian, her senses heightened to their maximum, ever vigilant of her surroundings.
Any demon.
Their strength is no weaker than that of a martial artist at the Tongmai realm.
However.
She was considered outstanding among her peers in the sect. She had already achieved self-generated true qi and advanced to the Meridian Opening realm a year ago.
When facing a demon of equal standing, Zhou Qin showed no fear.
"Miss, there is a white shadow—"
The maid behind her suddenly screamed.
"Where"
Zhou Qin turned her head and saw the maid's face was as pale as a sheet.
Upon hearing this.
The maid's heart pounded with fear, her finger trembling as she pointed to the left. "J-just now, I, I think I saw a white... a white shadow flash past—"
Zhou Qin followed the direction the maidservant pointed, and there was a towering artificial hill.
This is the end of a paragraph.
There was no hesitation.
She leapt directly toward the artificial hill.
Upon reaching behind the artificial hill, he swept his gaze around, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
At that moment.
A shrill scream echoed.
"Oh no!"
Zhou Qin's expression changed, and she immediately left the rockery and returned to her original position.
The maidservant who had originally stood in place was now nowhere to be seen.
By the moonlight, one could clearly see streaks of blood.
"Damn it!" Looking at the blood on the ground, Zhou Qin's face was as gloomy as water.
She didn't need to think to understand what would happen to that maid.
Entered the ancestral home.
No demons were found, but one person was lost instead.
It's impossible to say that I'm not angry.
However—
Besides anger, Zhou Qin was also slightly surprised. Strictly speaking, the rockery wasn't far from here, only two or three feet away. Yet, when the maid disappeared, she hadn't sensed anything beforehand.
From here, one can see that the methods of demons are quite strange and unpredictable.
At that moment.

A gust of wind struck my back, a bone-chilling cold surging through me.
That chill made Zhou Qin feel as if the blood in her body had frozen.
True Qi outburst.
The longsword emitted a chilling light, and she took a step back. Immediately following, she spun around and slashed with her sword, colliding directly with a withered, green hand.
Bang!!
A pair of withered, greenish hands grasped the sword hilt directly, rendering the blade's sharpness utterly useless.
When his palm grasped the long sword, a bone-chilling cold emanated from it.
A layer of frost silently formed on the white blade of the sword.
This is a continuation of the previous line.
Seeing the frost creeping, about to reach the hilt of the sword, Zhou Qin's heart skipped a beat. She could only release her grip and retreat backward.
>
Until now.
She could only just make out what was in front of her.
A tiny, gaunt old woman with a pointed chin and sickly complexion possessed piercing emerald eyes that sent chills down your spine.
The sword, held in the other's hand, was completely covered in frost. The moment it hit the ground, it shattered into pieces like ceramics.
The longsword shattered.
The demonic figure vanished from sight in an instant.
>
Zhou Qin didn't have time to be shocked. A gust of wind was already at her back, the same chilling sensation making her dare not meet the opponent head-on again.
Her toes lightly tapped.
The body, like a feather, drifted towards the distance.
Just as Zhou Qin was about to let out a breath of relief, she suddenly felt the gaze before her shift. A terrifying face had been pressed against hers.
At that moment.
Zhou Qin was struck by lightning.
Without hesitation, all his true energy erupted, and he unleashed a powerful palm strike.
Boom—
A jade hand condensed with true qi and struck the demon's body.
The demon slightly retreated, and at the same time, its withered, green palm struck out like lightning. Zhou Qin didn't have time to react, and the attack was already upon her.
Bang!!
A powerful force struck, a bone-chilling cold swept over her, sending Zhou Qin flying through the air.
...right before it lands.

Zhou Qin, however, forcibly twisted her body, tapping her toes lightly, and had already left the Zhou family ancestral home.
The whole process.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Leaving Zhou's ancestral home, Zhou Qin did not dare to stop for even a moment, and went straight to where the Zhou family now lived.

The next day.
Shen Changqing woke up early. He had just gotten up when a boy came to bring him water for washing his face, but under the basin, he found a piece of paper pressed there.
Needless to say, this is also information Tianchawei gave itself.
Spread out the paper.
Shen Changqing looked at the content above, his face slightly surprised.
"I didn't expect the Zhou family to have some vision, being able to make it this big isn't without reason."
The content on the paper was shockingly Zhou Qin's information, including the martial arts sect she had joined.
Yi Jian Men!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the Dahua Prefecture, there is a relatively famous martial arts force.
The strongest person in the Yijian Sect was a master-level expert. Any sect that had a master sitting in would be considered a truly powerful sect.
"A sect with a master, no matter where it is, its status is not low. The Zhou family was able to have foresight and beforehand let talented clan members join the Yijianmen. It can be considered well-prepared."
Chen Changqing was quite approving in his heart.
In such a world, relying solely on wealth is insufficient to secure one's footing. One also needs strength and the ability to defend oneself.
The Zhou family is wealthy.
Now, yet another person has joined the E Sword Gate, which is equivalent to having a fist.
With both wealth and power, a family can endure for generations.
After looking at the information about Yijianmen, Shen Changqing focused again on the information about Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, was sent to Yijianmen at the age of fourteen. At seventeen, she broke through the Tongmai realm and was hailed as the most outstanding disciple in Yijianmen's history for the past ten years, with a future bound to break through the Xiantian level.
Now eighteen years old, suspected to be in the middle stage of meridian opening, he just returned to Jin City yesterday. He ventured into the Zhou family ancestral home last night and fought a demon but was defeated and retreated, suffering serious injuries.
"Zhou Qin--"
Looking at the information above, Shen Changqing's eyes flickered.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At the age of fourteen, he entered the Yijian Gate. At seventeen, he broke through the meridians. He was indeed a genius.
Don't look at the people of the Demon Suppression Division, most of those who can be promoted to official demon exorcists are promoted to the Tongmai Realm in a year or less.
But in fact.
Every individual who enters the Demon Suppression Institute and becomes an apprentice demon slayer possesses remarkable talent in martial arts.st have extraordinary strength!"Then, the Heavenly Thunder Saint Master thought of the battle he had just witnessed.The Heavenly Thunder Holy Land and the Celestial Sect both belong to the Heavenly Th...
