now able to match the strength of a God Master, and even reaching the peak of the God Master realm is still a long way off. But it seems that both the Heavenly Demons and the Taixu Realm are not place...Corpse Puppet!

Zhao Yue's face showed a look of confusion.

Cui Cheng patiently explained: “A corpse puppet is a demon’s tool. After killing a person, they refine them into a puppet. People refined into corpse puppets can retain their memories from life but obey the refiner.”

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

To the naked eye, ordinary people would find it difficult to distinguish a corpse puppet from a living person.

Because the Corpse Puppets are no longer living beings, they need to regularly absorb fresh blood to keep their bodies from decaying.

About the records of Corpse Puppets.

As a major sect in Guangyuan Mansion, the Guiyuan Sword School naturally wouldn't lack

After the explanation.

Cui Cheng looked at Shen Changqing, already understanding the other party's intentions.

“Shen is worried that news of the corpse puppet will cause panic among the people!”

"Not bad!"

Shen Changqing nodded.

“The corpses are too eerie. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all. If they knew that the Zhang family had already become puppets, the hearts of the people in Lin'an City would surely be in turmoil. This official also hopes that both of you will keep your mouths shut.”

Still the same words, your struggle over demonic blood is your own affair.

The disorder in Lin'an City is my responsibility.

Whoever dares to cause trouble in Lin'an City, don't blame this official for being impolite.

Threatening words.

Chen Changqing is outspoken.

Now that he is in Lin'an, he doesn't need to be too cautious in his actions.

Here's the translation, keeping only the translated text and HTML tags:

thirteen layers of Heavenly Martial Qi.

As long as the master doesn't make a move, even if I can't sweep across the Innate realm, I will definitely not be a weakling within the Innate realm.

Cui Cheng's expression turned solemn, and he hurriedly responded: "Lord Shen, rest assured. We will absolutely not leak the matter of the Corpse Puppets. The Guiyuan Sword Sect has established its roots in Qin for hundreds of years, and its own duty is to maintain stability."

Then that's great.

Shen Changqing picked up a teacup.

Upon seeing this.

Cui Cheng pulled Zhao Yue up: "The two of us won't disturb Lord Shen any longer, we bid you farewell!"

“Goodbye.”

Shen Changqing nodded and immediately turned to the door: "Come here, see the guest off!"

That's all.

An officer from outside the door walked in and said to the two, "Please!"

"Goodbye!"

First, the Zhao family was wiped out, then the Zhang family's assets were confiscated. In a short period of time, almost all prominent local powers in Lin'an City underwent a cleansing.

The remaining few larger families all lowered their flags and refrained from any extra actions.

Suddenly.

Lin'an City had returned to peace.

Shen Changqing has been keeping a low profile recently and hasn't made public appearances easily.

Once daily affairs of the office are taken care of, there is nothing else to do.

The sword bestowed by the Demon Suppression Division was broken, and he wanted to find an opportunity to replace it with a new weapon.

Alas, Lin'an City is but a small place. While there are blacksmiths, the weapons they forge are inferior to even my current half-broken long sword.

So.

Shen Changqing could only make do.

“Having calculated the time, the demon essence blood should be about to be born!”

Standing at the entrance of the inner hall, he gazed into the distance.

From some point onwards, the clear sky had grown somewhat dim. Looking at it, it felt like a large stone was pressing down on one's chest, causing an inexplicable feeling of tightness.

Unprovoked.

In Shen Changqing's mind, some words he had heard in his past life surfaced.

The wind howls fiercely as dark clouds gather, threatening to crush the city!

While there aren't dark clouds looming over us right now, things are getting pretty close.

He had a premonition.

The blood of demons might appear today.

Thinking about things.

Suddenly.

Shén Chángqīng felt the earth trembling, as if a dragon was turning over. The things on the table in the main hall fell to the ground because of the tremors and were shattered into pieces.

Next came a cacophony of noise from outside.

“Oh no, the earth dragon is turning over!”

"Hurry, hurry and take cover!"

The commotion among the common people was so loud that their voices could be heard directly inside the main hall of the government office.

It won't be long.

Shi Qingsheng hurried over, his face pale with alarm: "My lord, the earth dragon has turned over! It's not safe to stay in the main hall of the yamen. Quickly make preparations to take cover!"

"Don't panic."

Shen Changqing's face was slightly gloomy, his feet firmly planted on the ground as if rooted, no matter how much the ground trembled, his figure didn't sway.

Seeing the calm face of their master.

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

Shi Qing Sheng's inner turmoil had also subsided somewhat.

Having forcibly calmed himself, he cautiously said: "My lord, the earth dragon's movements have caused quite a stir. What should we do now"

"Gather the people to open areas for shelter, but do not leave the city without permission. Also, have all officials disperse and maintain order within the city. Anyone who takes advantage of this situation to create chaos will be thrown into jail."

Whoever dares to resist, shall be killed on the spot!

This looks like HTML code. Please provide me with the text you'd like translated within the tags, and I'll be happy to help!

Shen Changqing calmly ordered.

Upon hearing this.

Shi Qingxing immediately did as he was told.

Shen Changqing remained standing in place, his brows furrowed.

If an earthquake were mild, it wouldn't have much impact. But if the ground shaking were intense, it would be a disaster for the people.

But no matter what.

To a martial artist at the Xiantian Waigang realm, even a Dragon turning over wouldn't pose any threat.

Judging from the current tremors, the Earth Dragon's movements weren't very intense. With Shi Qingsheng and those yamen officials maintaining order, Shen Changqing felt relieved.

The key is.

His mind was not on the dragon rolling over.

"For a dragon to turn over naturally is ultimately a low-probability event. With the imminent birth of the demonic blood essence, there happens to be a dragon turning over, perhaps it's related to the demonic blood essence—"

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

As for his own guess, Shen Changqing was also deeply concerned.

If even a mere demon's blood could cause the earth dragon to stir, then one must re-evaluate the power of demonic essence.

To be honest.

He didn't know much about demons.

Demons and monsters are collectively referred to as evil spirits. While demon exorcists have the authority to handle monsters, they are not authorized to interact with demons.

In the Demon Suppression Prison.

The sealed remnants of demons and the demons themselves were not captured by demon hunters.

As for the records of the first floor of the library, there wasn't much about demons or monsters. It just had more peculiar and strange entries.

Just as Shen Changqing's thoughts surged, the ground suddenly trembled violently again.

The vibration did not last long before it subsided.

The next moment.

A deafening roar came from afar.

A deafening roar, like an ancient beast awakening from its slumber, completely resurrected.

In that moment, Shen Changqing's hairs stood on end.

Just a simple roar, and he felt a tremendous threat in his heart.

"Demon blood essence—has been born!"

For no reason at all, the thought popped into Shen Changqing's mind.

Immediately, he could no longer stand and directly walked out of the yamen.

Meanwhile.

The people of Lin'an City were panicked, that roar seemed to awaken the fear in their hearts. As for the yamen servants who maintained order, they weren't doing much better.

"Run fast, or it will be too late!"

“Everyone, stay put. Anyone who dares to run around will be thrown in jail!”

Zhang Yue suppressed the panic in his heart, roared fiercely, and at the same time, drew out the long sword from his waist.

The gleaming blade frightened some of the common people.

The scene, which had been in chaos before, suddenly stabilized.

This is the time.

A decrepit old man, trembling with his fingers, said: “Demon, this is a demon coming out! The old man has heard a rumor that there are sleeping demons in the Lin'an area. Now that the earth dragon has turned over and roared again, it must be the demons coming out.”

"Run! If the demons really do appear, we're all dead!"

Demons are born!

Four words caused those people who had been trying to calm down to become flustered again.

...Just as the crowd was in commotion.

Chen Changqing strode forward, his Tianwu True Qi brewing, bursting forth with a earth-shattering roar: "Silence!"

A word.

All voices were drowned out.

Some people even felt like they had been hit on the head with a heavy hammer and almost couldn't stand.

Shen Changqing said in a deep voice, "The rumors of demons emerging are unfounded. It's just a simple earth dragon turning over. You don't need to worry too much. Besides, even if demons did emerge, what could be done This officer comes from the Demon Suppression Division. My duty is to kill demons."

Even if demons rampage, they must still ask this officer's sword if it agrees.

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

One word.

This calmed many of the common people.

Although Shen Changqing did not hold office for long, everything he did was deeply touching and created a powerful image.

Especially the name of the Demon Suppression Division added much more persuasiveness.

...saw that the scene was calm.

Shen Changqing's voice softened a bit: "Everyone can rest assured, with this official in Lin'an City, there will be no demons. When the Dragon Turns over ends, you all go back to your own lives. Don't come out easily when you hear any noise."

"Leave the rest to me."

That's all.

He looked at Zhang Yue who was beside him.

"You lead everyone, maintain order in the city. From this moment on, anyone who spreads rumors and incites the people to riot, those with serious offenses will be killed on the spot, and those with minor offenses will all be thrown into prison. There must be no leniency."

Here is the translation of your provided text:

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

"Rest assured, sir. I will ensure that order is maintained within the city." Zhang Yue cupped his fists and replied respectfully.

OK!

Shen Changqing nodded, then left the place.

He could clearly sense that the earth-shattering roar just now came from the direction outside the east city wall.

And from the information provided by Tianchawei.

The area around City East Cemetery might be the place where demon and spirit blood was sealed, which perfectly matches the current phenomena.

Whether as the magistrate of Lin'an City or as a demon slayer of the Demon Suppression Division, Shen Changqing would never stand idly by.

Although he did not vie for demon essence blood.

But it is also necessary to go to the scene of the incident and see the situation.

>

When Shen Changqing left the city, he also saw many martial arts practitioners heading towards the mass grave.

On the way.

There are also some familiar faces.

"Mr. Shen!"

Two faces that seemed hauntingly familiar, came into Shen Changqing's eyes.

In an instant, he recognized the identities of the two.

People from the Qiyuan Sect.

One is called Ming Zhengyang, and the other is called Huang Xuan.

"It's a coincidence that you two are here."

"With strange happenings outside the city today, it seems a demon's essence has emerged. Is Lord Shen interested"

Ming Zhengyang smiled faintly, but his heart was slightly heavy.

He wasn't saying he wouldn't fight for the demon blood, now he has to come join in on the fun.

PS: Pleaseaying God Sword, not a bad name!"Shen Changqing nodded.The killing intent contained within this sword is unparalleled in his lifetime. Even the Heaven Punishing Divine Sword, a peerless treasure born...
